Under One Person: I, Jiaqian Jushi, work from nine to five.

However, he can't listen for too long; once the ship to pick him up arrives, he'll have to leave...

"No..."

King Nathan shook his head and said, "You are the Lord of Cinder on Nathan Island; you must have guards protecting you..."

As she spoke, she glanced at the Nathan Guards present, then called out two names:

"Elena".

"Alfonso..."

"You two stay with Lord Cinder...make sure you protect his safety."

Hearing King Nathan call their names, Elena and Alfonso, who had just woken up, were both somewhat bewildered.

"Ah I?"

The expressions on their faces at that moment were quite intriguing.

Elena, who is considered one of the more attractive women present, had an expression on her face that resembled that of an elderly person looking at their phone on the subway, with a face full of black lines.

What virtue or ability does Elena possess to protect Zhou Fengliu?

...

Alfonso, who had just woken up, was also somewhat frightened.

Ever since he was slapped and forced to fight by Zhou Fengliu, he has been somewhat afraid of Zhou Fengliu.

If he were to follow Zhou Fengliu around every day... wouldn't he have nightmares every night?

...

puff-

Before Zhou Fengliu could react, Wang Zhenqiu, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Not...protecting Lao Zhou? You guys aren't kidding, are you? Look at him, does he look like he needs protection?"

The biggest joke Wang Zhenqiu heard this year was that Zhou Fengliu needed protection...

“Whether it’s needed or not…it’s a duty as a Guardian. Besides, if the Lord of Cinder needs Nathan Island to do something, it’s more convenient to have a Guardian by your side to contact Nathan Island.”

Nathan Wang ignored Wang Zhenqiu's laughter and spoke calmly.

Listening to Nathan's words, Zhou Fengliu could roughly guess what Nathan was thinking.

It's simply about establishing contact to prevent him from taking advantage of Nathan Island and then running away...

Anyway, South China is short of people. If they dare to come, we'll take them all and hand them over to Zhang Lingyu afterwards.

"That makes sense, I agree."

Upon hearing Zhou Fengliu's words, Wang Zhenqiu, who had been about to laugh, instantly stopped.

"No way? Old Zhou... don't be fooled by that woman's beauty. She's obviously a spy planted next to you."

Wang Zhenqiu said that Elena is indeed quite attractive, but the prettier she is, the less likely she is to be a good person.

beautiful?

The handsome Zhou Fengliu failed to notice one thing: looking at Alfonso and Elena, all he saw were two words:

oxen and horses!

...

Zhou Fengliu is gone.

Alfonso and Elena followed on either side.

Watching Zhou Fengliu's departing figure, Nathan, who had transformed from his true form into a substitute, felt somewhat lost.

The sacred tree is gone.

The island's rules also vanished with the disappearance of the sacred tree. What changes will occur in the future of Nathan Island?

She didn't know, and dared not speculate.

Now, all she can do is fulfill the duties of a stand-in.

Since the Divine Tree has staked the future of Nathan Island on Zhou Fengliu...

These followers of the tree, naturally, must unconditionally obey the will of the divine tree...

...

P.S.: I pray for everything as usual. Goodnight and sweet dreams to all my godfathers.

Chapter 420 Wang Zhenqiu: Will we meet again? When we do, I wish you happiness.

Elijah...

After Zhou Fengliu's figure completely disappeared from sight, King Nathan turned his gaze to Elijah, the traitorous guard, and saw that she spoke calmly:

"Give me Golden Bough..."

Hearing King Nathan's words, Elijah glanced at the golden branch in his hand and handed it to King Nathan without hesitation.

Having received the golden branch, King Nathan said nothing more to Elijah, only leaving behind the following words:

"You, take care of yourself."

Having said that, she led the rest of the Nathan Guards away from the mountaintop, leaving Elijah alone on the summit, exposed to the cold wind...

...

the other side.

At any evacuation point.

Zhang Chulan and his group were finally greeted by the people sent by Huang Boren to pick them up.

As the assault boat approached from afar, Zhang Chulan finally breathed a sigh of relief, and his anxious heart finally calmed down a bit.

This trip to Nathan Island was truly dangerous, several times more dangerous than the trip to Tang Sect, yet the rewards were disproportionate to the risks.

The seventeen Elijah mentioned were not found, nor did they know what the group that captured the seventeen looked like.

If they hadn't caught up with Li Muxuan, they would have lost everything on Nathan Island.

...

"Old Qing?"

Seeing Zhuge Qing get off the assault boat, Zhang Chulan was somewhat surprised that Zhuge Qing, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, would appear here.

"Ah... Bilian, it's been a long time."

Zhuge Qing still had those squinty eyes. He first sized up the people present and counted their numbers:

"Just the five of you, right?"

“Yes, five.” Zhang Chulan nodded.

"Alright, let's get on the boat. We shouldn't stay here any longer."

Zhuge Qing didn't exchange any pleasantries with Zhang Chulan and led the group to the Na Du Tong observation team's transport ship.

...

Sitting in the speedboat, the sea breeze blowing wildly against her face, Lu Lin suddenly thought of something and asked with some doubt:

"Something feels off. Is something missing?"

"When we came... there were only five of us, right? How come when we left... there were still five of us including Senior Li?"

Zhang Chulan: "..."

Lu Linglong: "..."

Lu Lin's mention made everyone realize that the foreigner Barron had fallen behind at some point.

Baron: I shouldn't have shown up, right?

...

Faced with Baron's absence, the group was unsure where to begin searching, so Zhang Chulan consoled himself by saying:

"He's probably busy with his own things, so you don't need to worry about him... With his skills, getting off the island would be a piece of cake."

"Ah."

Hearing Zhang Chulan's words, the Lu siblings nodded.

soon.

They were then taken to a transport ship by Zhuge Qing.

Seeing several employees in NaDuTong uniforms busy on the ship, Zhang Chulan felt like he had finally come home.

"Old Qing... I have something I'd like to ask you." Zhang Chulan seemed to have thought of something and called out to Zhuge Qing.

"what's up?"

"Could you gather all the people you brought out of the island together...? I want to see if any of Ma Xianhong's gang are among them..."
