One person: Starting with the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, his grandmaster uncle emerges from seclusion.

She actually saved him in that situation?!

"you……"

Alfonso opened his mouth, but the word "thank you" stuck in his throat, and he couldn't say it.

"Hey, don't look at me with that adoring gaze, it'll make me arrogant."

He dusted the dirt off his suit and patted Alfonso on the shoulder in a very familiar manner.

He lowered his voice and adopted a serious, heartfelt expression:

"The Alfonso brothers."

"Look at you, you have the skills, but you're too straightforward when it comes to fighting."

"Those bastards on the other side are carrying cannons, and you're just standing here with a light shield trying to tank it? That's just plain stupid!"

Alfonso blushed, about to retort.

The upside-down figure didn't give him a chance, pointing directly to the special forces team below who were preparing to reorganize their attack.

"Look closely, those Behemoth lackeys outside are determined to steal your divine tree."

Hanging upside down, he shrugged and began to con people with an air of self-righteousness:

"The enemy of my enemy is my friend!"

"Your strength alone is not enough to withstand their frenzied attack!"

He leaned forward, his tone becoming more amiable:

“Let me in. You know my strength. I will help you guard the sacred tree of Nathan Island.”

"I am also a part of Nathan Island, and it is my duty to do so!"

"Besides, if I die out there, how will you explain it to my bad-tempered boss?"

He just hired me as his tour guide; you have to consider the owner before you beat a dog, right?

This combination of punches was delivered.

Reason with them, appeal to their emotions, and add a subtle threat.

Alfonso's already single-minded mind was completely confused.

He glanced at the man below who had raised the rocket launcher again.

Then I looked at the upside-down figure with a face that said, "I'm doing this for the good of Nathan Island."

Alfonso gritted his teeth, and the light within him finally yielded to the cruel reality.

"it is good!"

Alfonso shifted his body to the side, and the wall of light melted, creating a gap in front of the upside-down figure.

He glared at the upside-down figure, gritting his teeth as he warned:

"Go in! But listen to me, if you dare to harbor even the slightest wicked thought in the royal city, I swear, the sacred fire of the divine tree will burn you to ashes!"

"Oh, please don't worry! I'm a law-abiding citizen!"

Hanging upside down, he beamed with joy.

Without any hesitation, he slipped into the gates of the royal city.

Upon entering.

The fawning expression on his upside-down face vanished instantly.

With his back to Alfonso, he revealed a triumphant and arrogant smile.

"This little golden retriever is really easy to fool."

Upside down, he licked his lips and swaggered toward the depths of the royal city.

"The real paradise is only just beginning."

Chapter 285 Was I seen through?

The smoke of battle had not yet dissipated before the steps of the royal city.

Alfonso's magic has been largely restored, and his radiance has solidified once more.

"Are you still putting up a futile resistance? The company's power is beyond your imagination!"

Down the steps, the man laughed maniacally.

He had a rocket launcher that had just been loaded with ammunition slung over his shoulder.

Just as he was about to pull the trigger.

"boom!"

A gunshot rang out abruptly from the shadows within the royal city.

The man felt a numbness in his wrist, followed by a tremendous recoil force.

The rocket launcher on his shoulder was precisely destroyed by the alchemical bullet!

"Who goes there?!" The man was startled and took two steps back warily.

"Setting off firecrackers in front of someone else's house in broad daylight is not a good habit."

Accompanied by a somewhat casual voice.

Elijah walked out from behind the door with his hands in his pockets and an unlit cigarette dangling from his mouth.

He glanced at Alfonso, then raised his eyelids and swept his gaze toward the Behemoth team below the steps.

At this moment, his eyes revealed a chilling sharpness.

“Elijah!” Alfonso greeted.

"Alright, turn off your light, it's too dazzling."

Elijah waved his hand, then fixed his gaze on the hyena.

"Take your junk and get out of here. Before I draw my gun."

"Fuck! Who do you think you are! You dare tell us to get lost?!"

Enraged, the man threw away the broken rocket launcher, clasped his hands together, and two blinding balls of energy condensed in his palms, ready to charge forward.

"stop!"

The hyena blocked his way with a blank expression.

Those cunning, beast-like eyes were fixed on Elijah, then glanced warily into the depths of the royal city.

"Hyenas? We'll be charging in soon!" the man shouted anxiously.

"Charge in? Go in to your death?"

The hyena's voice was icy.

"The target has entered the royal city; our mission is over."

Without any hesitation, the hyena decisively gave the order to retreat:

"All hands, put away your weapons, provide cross cover, and retreat!"

Although the mercenaries were unwilling, they immediately carried out the order under the hyena's absolute authority.

They quickly raised their guns.

While keeping a watchful eye on Elijah, he methodically retreated into the dense jungle behind him.

It disappeared in the blink of an eye.

……

at the same time.

Deep within the side hall corridor of the royal city.

A figure clung tightly to the shadows in the corner of the wall, just like a gecko.

Upside down, it was now sneaking around this sacred forbidden area with a shifty look on its face.

"A bunch of brainless idiots, still out there fighting to the death. Do they really think I, Hanging Upside Down, would obediently act as their watchdog?"

He was secretly laughing at Alfonso's naiveté.

He followed the corridor with his keen sense of vitality, and quickly found a node with the most abundant energy.

That was a huge relief stone brick at the corner of the corridor.

The surface of this brick faintly gleams with a pure white liquid light, which is a byproduct of the energy being transported by the roots of the divine tree.

"This is it!"

A greedy glint flashed in his upside-down eyes.

He looked around to make sure there wasn't a ghost in the corridor before he approached with peace of mind.

"Zhang Tianyi, you've planted a time bomb in me, haven't you? Once I've drained this royal city dry, I'll digest you too!"

Hanging upside down with its mouth wide open, its chin split open at an exaggerated, somewhat dislocated angle.

He didn't even care about his image anymore, sticking his entire face to the glowing stone brick, looking just like a suckerfish sucking its sucker.

"Suck...suck it dry!"

The Six Treasures Immortal Thief's technique slowly began to circulate.

Upside down, he felt an extremely pure energy surge into his esophagus through his mouth, and then quickly spread into his internal organs.

The exhilarating feeling of every pore on his body opening up almost made him groan out loud.

Just as he closed his eyes and was engrossed in gnawing on the wall plaster,

"Tap, tap, tap..."

A soft footstep sounded at the other end of the corridor.

Hanging upside down, he felt a chill, but before he could pull his mouth off the wall...
