Chapter 215 Leaving in the Dark
At night, the moon was dark and the wind was strong.
The entire Expo venue is still brightly lit and dreamy, like stars on the sea.
but--
Night is night after all, and most corners are still dark.
In front of Rashomon Gate on Tuotuo Island, three figures sneaked out from the huge azure gate.
"Shh~"
Ginny raised her index finger and reminded Bear and Yixiao.
The three of them had to take advantage of the night and leave the Expo overnight. Otherwise, the lynx fruit on Yixiao's body would attract countless hyenas to fight for it.
Before they knew it, the three of them had passed through the huge Rashomon constructed by Rex's ability and had stepped on the solid ground of the Royal City of Pentles.
Coming to the corner of the dimly lit alley, Ginny reiterated her plan:
"Blind Man, Bear Boy, listen carefully, we have to sneak out of the city first and get to the forest outside the city. Then we will use Bear Boy's ability to take us away from Pentles and go to the small island next door. Then we will set off early tomorrow morning and hurry up -"
Ginny stopped talking before she could finish her words, looked at the blind man in front of her with a suspicious smile.
"Blind man, what's wrong with you?"
Yixiao's expression was hard to see in the dark, but Ginny and Xiong could feel that he was feeling very heavy.
Sure enough, Yixiao said solemnly:
"You two, it seems we are being targeted!"
As soon as the joke was finished, two people appeared outside the alley.
The darkness blurred their figures, but one could vaguely see that both of them were tall.
"Hehe! You, a blind man, are really not simple. You can actually 'see' the two of us with your observation Haki?"
One of them spoke.
The other person seemed a little nervous and urged:
"Don't waste your time talking to a dead person. Take the fruit and run. Pentles' security force at night is not to be underestimated."
"That's right! Humph! Here, take it, Lynx Fruit!"
The person above shouted harshly at Yixiao.
When Ginny saw this scene, she realized that the thing she was most worried about had happened - an ambush!
Although Yixiao couldn't see, his observation Haki could capture the emotions of the two robbers in front of him very well.
"I have no grudge against you two, I don't know--"
"Stop the bullshit! Scythe Scroll·Blade!!~"
One of the robbers, without saying a word, swung out the crescent sickle slung across his waist, with a layer of vague armed domineering aura attached to it, and slashed straight at the three people!
Yixiao's expression gradually became stern. Seeing the opponent's attack approaching, he no longer hesitated, drew the sword at his waist and blocked it!
but--
Just as Yixiao was about to block and counterattack——
Boom——! ! ~
The sound of two blades cutting through flesh reached the ears of Ginny and the other two.
In the dim darkness, Ginny and Xiong vaguely saw the bodies of the two robbers in front of them being cut in half! Blood gushed out!
The smoothness of the fracture surface speaks volumes about the mastery of the swordsman who struck this blow! ~
"Huh? So you came here to kill others. You're such a haunting bug."
A deep voice sounded in the darkness. Ginny and Xiong looked over and saw a taller man wearing bronze and gold armor walking towards them.
Wang Zhi! ! ~
"Oh, they just want to kill you three? I see, you are the blind man who got the free items at the auction. No wonder, but you are lucky. I happen to be the security guard here. Okay, leave if you have nothing else."
Wang Zhi glanced at the three of them, said something casually, then turned and left, disappearing into the darkness again.
In the alley——
The bloody smell of the two robbers' bodies reached Ginny's nose.
The bear still looked very stupid.
He smiled thoughtfully and watched Wang Zhi's departing back.
"...Hey, you two, did you hear what Wang Zhi just said?"
“Are we lucky?”
Yixiao tried to answer Ginny's question.
Ginny shook her head:
"No! It's the next sentence. Wang Zhi said that he is the security guard here."
Yixiao then reacted:
"Is it not?"
Ginny nodded slowly:
"Yes, top pirates like Wang Zhi are all security guards for the World Expo. We have passed through the Rashomon Gate on the Sky Island. In this case, the bigwigs behind the World Expo must know our movements and motives."
Yixiao added:
"But it's clear that they didn't pay any attention to us, and instead helped us."
"Yeah, let's go."
Without further ado, Ginny walked out of the alley with Bear Cub with a smile and disappeared into the darkness outside the royal city.
At this point, Ginny, Xiong, and Yixiao, the three people who met by chance at the Expo, finally left the Pentles Expo together that night.
Unlike when they came here, Ginny and Bear 'happened' to meet Marco, and boarded the ship of King Rhine, and met several important people.
When Ginny left, only Wang Zhi knew about it.
but……
Is it really?
With Ginny's intelligence, it was clear to her that she and Bear Cub had already been seen clearly by those big shots. Her former identity as a slave of the Valley of Gods might have been exposed to those big shots. Perhaps everything from the chance encounter with Marco to Wang Zhi's help just now might have been a show.
but……
So what?
In short, Ginny left the Expo safely with Bear and Yixiao.
Xiong seemed to have gotten the answer he was looking for here, but Ginny was even better. In her eyes, she had already become the woman who could play chess with Lex in the air!
And Yixiao, this more stable and mature older young man, also has his own ideas.
This is the sea, everyone has his own life.

In the palace of the Royal City of Pentles, Lex hugged Gion and leaned on the pillow.
"Honey, some people are starting to leave."
Gion was also awake and asked in confusion:
"Who left?"
"Well, some key figures may be our opponents or people who have nothing to do with us. Two of them were slaves in the Valley of the Gods and are staunch supporters of Nika. The other one is a rare righteous person. What a coincidence. If there is no big problem with my layout, he should be a future admiral of the navy, just like you."
"Oh, Admiral, hehe, I will become an admiral too."
Gion said with a slightly tsundere smile.
"Yeah, hahaha, more than just a navy admiral, as long as you want, even if you want to be the commander-in-chief of the entire army, I will let old Fate give up his position to you."
"Well~ No, the admiral of the navy is good enough, he can both slack off and help your evil plan. The commander-in-chief is too tiring, so let Marshal Kong and General Zhan Guo go."
"Yeah, haha. My dear is both lazy and smart."
"Hey, Lex, you said I was lazy?"
"what happened?"
"How dare you call me lazy!~"
"You just said your man's layout was some 'evil plan'."
Gion was suddenly speechless and stuck out his tongue cunningly.
Then the limp body pressed hard against Lex's chest.
"Hmph, stop talking nonsense and show me your true abilities~"
“Uh-huh!~”
It's another lively night.
Of course, as time passed, the Expo also came to an end.
