Half an hour ago, the shadows of the coconut trees were swaying softly on the beach, and the sea was clear, too. However, a huge stormy cloud had approached from the distance, followed by a strong wind. The leaves of the coconut trees were rustling loudly.
Huge coconuts fell to the ground. There were only a few thuds at first, but as the wind grew stronger, the coconuts began falling like hail.
“It’s coming!” Tuis’ eyes glittered. His blue eyes were fixed on the gray waves.
“Master Tuis, how do you know the Tyrant t.i.tan is going to show up here? We have been fighting Tyrant t.i.tans for a long time, yet we always struggle to locate them. If we could predict where they are going to show up, we would have avoided many incidents that bring us shame,” Golden Sun Knight Lucas asked.
“It must be the difference between Tuis and you knights,” Tuis smiled arrogantly.
Fierce waves were rolling on the sea. An unusual wave suddenly rose above the others. It did not splash down after reaching its peak, but was replaced by a ma.s.sive silhouette instead.
“It’s a Sea t.i.tan!” Golden Knight Lucas yelled nervously.
“I’ve been waiting a long time for it!” Tuis grinned. His first prey had finally appeared!
“Star Constellation Moon Trapping Formation!” Golden Sun Knight Lucas ordered.
“Master Lucas, our captain isn’t here. We can’t complete the formation!”
“Where’s Captain Jiang?”
“I think he’s still at the village.”

Mo Fan might not be on friendly terms with the knights, but he still had to report for duty at the outpost.
The outpost was in Jade Bay City. The people of the Black Church only dared stir up trouble at remote areas away from the city. They did not have the guts to mess with Mages and Hunters in the city, nor would they confront the Parthenon’s knights directly.
Poseidon was talking to a general when Mo Fan, Zhao Manyan, and Mu Bai reached the outpost.
Poseidon glanced at Mo Fan and pointed at the meeting room, telling them to wait inside.
Inside the meeting room, the military and government officials and members of the Parthenon Temple were already at their respective seats, except for a proud figure who was standing in front of a Golden Sun Knight and uttering unpleasant words to vent his anger.
“How can someone like you be a Golden Sun Knight? Do you know how much trouble we are in because we allowed that Sea t.i.tan to escape? Do you know that if we could capture a Tyrant t.i.tan alive, I could find out every detail of their tribe, including how many Tyrant t.i.tans are going to fight us? We might even find the culprit that destroyed Green Sprouts Island to give Crete some peace of mind! However, you hopeless piece of s.h.i.+t let the Tyrant t.i.tan escape for the sake of some useless old migrants!” Tuis pointed at Jiang Bin, swearing at him.
Tuis was a reckless man. The meeting room had every core member of the battle, most of them with important roles and great power, yet Tuis was scolding the Golden Sun Knight in front of everyone without mercy.
Jiang Bin was kneeling on the ground with his head lowered. He did not say a word.
Tuis had no intention of letting it go. He was going to show how useless the guy was in front of everyone!
“What’s going on? Is Tuis the mad dog biting people for no reason again?” Mo Fan asked Muse Pelina, who was seated beside him.
Pelina hesitated for a moment before telling Mo Fan the details.
“The old villagers on Orange Coconut Island do not understand Greek. They were not evacuated to Jade Bay City, so Jiang Bin missed out on a great chance to capture a Sea t.i.tan alive, as he was busy evacuating the village,” Pelina explained.
“Oh, he did a great job then!” Mo Fan nodded.
“Mm, it’s not his fault either, but Tuis doesn’t think that way. He believes Jiang Bin cost him a great opportunity just to save a few people’s lives,” Pelina remarked.
“How stupid can you be? I shall report to Haylon and ask him to expel you once I returned to the Parthenon Temple!” Tuis was still going on.
Mo Fan could not stand it anymore, and went up to Tuis. “That’s enough, why must I hear your annoying voice as soon as I come into the room? Can you shut up and let me have my peace?” Mo Fan swore at him.
No one had dared to offend Tuis, but Mo Fan did not mind interrupting Tuis while he was throwing a tantrum at all, since he already stepped on the idiot’s toes.
“What the heck does a yellow monkey like you know? We might lose another Green Sprouts City because of his mistake! He will be held responsible for it!” Tuis declared loudly.
“Nothing even happened yet, right? We will be ready when they come. He saved the lives of a village!” Mo Fan shot right back.
“Huh, a village of old folks? That’s the least of my concerns! Everyone here is an official. Don’t you talk about humanity with me! Besides, the doc.u.ments stated that village was already abandoned. Those greedy old folks went there and built houses without permission so they could pick the coconuts and sell them. They cost us a great opportunity to secure the upper hand. I say those old folks should be sent to jail!” Tuis went on.
Poseidon finally came into the room. “Tuis, it’s fine. I’ll handle it!”
Poseidon was the only person who could make Tuis shut up. Tuis had no choice but to take a seat after Poseidon spoke. For some reason, he kept glaring at Mo Fan disdainfully.
“May I ask who here is in charge of Orange Coconut Island?” Poseidon asked.
A plump official rose to his feet nervously. “I am!”
“The knights, soldiers, and young Mages are risking our lives at the frontline, yet many of your men have already run away from the Aegean Sea. That is extremely disappointing. I hope you can control your men and at least make sure every resident close to the battlefield has been evacuated. The Parthenon Temple is being doubted by the whole world. We will take responsibility for our jobs, but we won’t take responsibility for yours. We will tell everyone the truth, and you will have to explain yourself to the public!” Poseidon stated firmly.
