“Do you know why we want to take you to the island?”Kant looked at Raphael and asked.
“Yes.”Raphael lowered his eyes and said, “You want me to find the hidden forces on the island for you.”
When Kant heard Raphael’s answer, he was silent for a moment before he said, “Then will you do this for us?”
Raphael fell into silence. He did not answer Kant’s question. Instead, he asked, “If I don’t agree, will you let me go?”
“No,”Kant denied with a poker face. “We will use you as bait. We will do everything we can to lure out the leader of the forces who issued the order to kill you.”
Raphael raised his head and met Kant’s gaze. His eyes were filled with despair. He closed his eyes and asked, “Then why are you talking to me about this?”
“Because I want to give you a chance to make a choice,”Kant said. “Do you want to carry the lives of others on your shoulders, or do you want to use your blood-stained hands to atone for your sins?”
“I understand.”The expression on Raphael’s face became complicated. He said to Kant, “I’ll cooperate with you.”
“Mm.”Kant stood up and looked down at Raphael. “We won’t put too much pressure on you. You just need to go with the flow.”
After saying this, Kant left the deck and walked towards his cabin.
“Go with the flow…”Raphael raised his right wrist in front of him. He bared his sharp teeth and bit down.
But in the end, he still restrained himself, leaving only a slightly deep bite mark on his skin.
Boiling Hot tears flowed out of Raphael’s eyes and dripped onto his arm.
“To live… it’s really hard…”
Under the moonlight, Raphael’s body trembled due to his sobbing movements.
The people in the venue gradually quieted down.
The lights on the podium converged in one place.
A slightly plump dwarf walked to the podium, the host said, “Welcome all those who stand against the dark forces to this place and listen to this speech. “Since everyone is here, let us quickly begin. “First, let us welcome young master Isaac to the stage to make a speech for us.”
This dwarf’s status was not ordinary. As soon as he stood on the stage and spoke, the people below the stage immediately quieted down.
“Isaac? Who Is It?”Abel blurted out.
At this moment, a burly middle-aged man walked onto the stage under everyone’s gaze.
The gown he was wearing seemed to be a size smaller. The cloth was completely stuck to his muscles, allowing people to see his well-proportioned and perfect figure at a glance.
“So St.u.r.dy.”The Elven soldier sighed.
“That’s the second young master of the Dragon Clan, even though he’s not the legitimate heir. “But to be able to attend a place like this is already giving the dwarf clan’s organizer a lot of face.”An angel sitting behind Abel interrupted, intentionally or unintentionally.
“Dragon Clan?”Abel was startled. He recalled the encounter he had when he went to the volcano previously, in the territory of the Dragon Clan.
“Good evening, everyone,”Isaac greeted. His mouth was like an ancient bell, and his voice lingered in everyone’s ears.
Now that the spotlight was on his face, Abel finally caught a glimpse of the tiny scales on his skin.
“The Dragon clan can transform like this!”The Elven soldier said in surprise.
In his impression, the Dragon clan should be an ancient behemoth that lived in caves and hissed in the sky when hunting.
“The dragon race knows many kinds of spell. It’s not strange that they have transformation tricks,”Abel said softly.
However, why would they partic.i.p.ate in such an occasion? Before the opening ceremony, Abel knocked on all the audience members. Other than Behemoth, who devoured the world, almost all the nomads on the island had come.
“Everyone knows that a month ago, our Dragon Clan woke up early from the scheduled hibernation period,”Isaac said expressionlessly. “We also found that the pseudo dragon in the estate had been surrounded and exterminated. “After our investigation, it was a trick played by some people who were stirring up trouble on the dark side of the island. They wanted to use our knives to destroy the dwarf who was in power in the clan.”
“What?”The audience was shocked. After all, the clarification had not reached the island, so many people heard this news for the first time.
“We have found the traitor who was involved in the scheme of the foreign tribe.”Isaac threw a heavy punch and said, “And during the interrogation, we got the names of the people who partic.i.p.ated in this operation.”
Hearing this, Abel’s breathing stopped. The Dragon tribe moved too fast. The development of the matter had already left a lot of information in Abel’s hands.
“After this meeting is over, I will send the names to everyone. I hope that everyone can report to their superiors so that they can clean up in time,”Isaac said indifferently. “My speech ends here.”
From the beginning to the end, Isaac’s expression was very cold.
“This meeting is too interesting!”The person sitting next to Abel shouted excitedly.
“Boss, will the list mentioned by this person also be sent to us?”The Elven soldier asked in puzzlement.
“I don’t know,”Abel replied. Then, he looked around and found that everyone was very happy.
Amidst the applause and cheers, Isaac walked straight off the stage and disappeared behind the curtain.
Abel stared at his back, his eyes filled with confusion. Why did he distribute the list that he had worked so hard to come up with to everyone present? The Dragon Tribe’s way of doing things was indeed very decisive, but this time, they were really too bold.
Then, a few representatives of the various races came up to the podium to speak.
Abel listened attentively until everyone left their seats and went to a corner under the podium. Only then did Abel stand up and walk over.
A skinny dwarf asked everyone to write down their names and age in the name book on the table.
“Is this a ceremony to partic.i.p.ate in this conference?”The Elven soldier hesitated whether to write down his real name.
“Since you’ve come here to listen to so much, you should follow their rules at the end,”Abel instructed.
As he spoke, he bent down and wrote down his real name on the paper in Esperanto. When he handed the pen back to the dwarf, the dwarf looked at him and said, “Are you an elf?”
“Yes,”Abel raised his head and replied.
The dwarf’s expression became strange. Abel was not used to the way the dwarf looked at him. He immediately walked out of the formation.
When he reached the door, Abel heard the elven soldier behind him shout, “Boss, you forgot to take something.”
“What?”Abel touched his pocket and turned around to ask.
