Chapter 534 Talk

Seeing Arthur leave the room in a hurry, they all knew that his actions were intentional.

Gion felt a chill run down her spine when she recalled Arthur's frenzied battle at God Valley.

He had previously sworn that no matter where he was, he would do everything in his power to capture him.

In retrospect, it was all just wishful thinking.

"Remember to put your plates in the sink after you finish eating; I'll wash them when I get back!" Leia placed the two babies on the bed in the bedroom, grabbed a bag and a small rattan tote, and ran outside.

"I need to go buy some baby formula, these two babies are crying from hunger!"

Gion discovered that no matter what the Ice Swordsman said to her, she would immediately do it.

"Where in the village does he usually stay?" Gion asked Leia loudly outside the door, wanting to talk to Arthur alone.

"Him? He's either bullying other kids his age or sitting alone at the dock, lost in thought. You can wander around the village and look for him."

Leia responded to her as she went out, and her footsteps gradually faded into the distance.

A moment later, she was the only one left in the room, sitting on a wooden chair and looking around.

Outside the window, villagers lead peaceful lives, and you can hear the rustling of the sea breeze on the treetops.

Time came to the morning——

Rapeseed Flower Village Wharf.

Gion wandered alone through the village, searching for Arthur.

The northern part of the island is a mining area, where many workers from the outer islands are working.

The forest entrance is where forestry production takes place, with large numbers of loggers cutting timber from the forest and transporting it to the docks.

A short while later, she saw several children with swollen faces running towards the island from the direction of the pier, hugging their parents and crying and complaining loudly.

"I told you not to mess with him!"

“We didn’t do anything to him. He was walking along when he suddenly stopped, turned around and looked at us, then grabbed us and started beating us up!”

"You shouldn't have even looked! Quickly come inside and apply some medicine."

Some children's bottoms were pecked raw, bleeding and urinating.

Some had large bumps all over their foreheads, which Arthur had flicked with his fingers.

Inside the dockside tavern.

Arthur sat alone at the bar, drinking beer. Even the bar owner had changed; he was no longer the greedy guy he used to be.

Instead, she was a woman in her early thirties, dressed glamorously, with a welcoming smile on her face.

"Cooper!" (Fill it up!) Cooper stood on the bar, yelling menacingly at the proprietress and placing the beer glass in front of her.

The proprietress looked at the person in front of her with a worried expression and asked anxiously,

"That's 13 cups already, and those are large cups! Are you guys sure you're not going to drink like this?"

"Ah..." Arthur downed his 14th beer in one gulp, burped, lifted the cloth covering his abdomen, and pointed to his muscular belly. "Look how big my belly has gotten! I told you to bring me beer, so bring me beer! I don't need your money!"

Arthur was consuming large amounts of food and drink to relieve the stress accumulated after the battle.

The proprietress turned around to pour more wine, sighing loudly, "Doesn't this village have any security guards?"

“Me!” Arthur pointed to his face with his thumb. “I’m the strongest security guard.”

"But when you were beating those kids just now, you didn't act like a guard at all; you were like a thug." The proprietress placed the 15th beer in front of Arthur, looking at him with an amused smile.

"Kids deserve a beating. Who told them to stare at me with those smug looks on their faces?" Arthur said, picking up his glass and continuing to drink heavily.

The proprietress shook her head helplessly. This wasn't public order; it was clearly a local bully.

Outside the tavern, at the dock and seaside.

The villagers looked out at a government warship sailing at full speed across the distant sea.

What are government warships doing here?

Has anyone committed a crime on the island?

A short while later, government warships docked at the pier, and a group of CP agents boarded the village, immediately taking photos and inquiring about Arthur's whereabouts.

The album is not a bounty notice; it's just a simple full-body photo.

The CP agents were also very friendly to the villagers, asking cautiously.

Following the orders of the Five Elders, never provoke or offend the Extreme Ice Sword Master, for they will not even dare to treat the villagers of this island with the same haughtiness they used to show to ordinary people.

"Isn't that the guy who beat up those kids earlier? He's drinking at the pub!"

Gion arrived at the dock at that moment, staring wide-eyed at the CP agents.

They saw an agent leading a group of people into the noisy tavern at the dock.

He followed them and observed the situation inside from a distance outside the tavern.

Inside the tavern, the CP agents found Arthur and surrounded him on the chair at the bar.

"My name is Knives, a CP0 agent personally assigned by the World Government." The man in charge of the unit introduced himself to Arthur and took off his gloves to shake hands with him.

Knife?

A familiar name popped into Arthur's mind.

He tapped his forehead with his index finger, vaguely remembering something, and said, "I remember, I think I remember you had a childhood sweetheart, right? Named Natalie? Like you, she was an official under the government."

Knives was startled by this, wondering how Arthur knew.

There was indeed a girl who grew up with him at the CP training base under the government.

She's about four years younger than him, currently only 17. He's 21.

"How...how did you know?" Knives was taken aback, then immediately changed the subject, "Let's talk on the warship, they have something they want to discuss with you."

Arthur wasn't buying it at all. After finishing his twentieth beer, he turned and stared at the handsome young man in front of him.

"Why send a lowly agent to talk to me? Why send that parasite in person? At the very least, it should be one of the Five Elders! Who do you think you are?"

“You…!” Knife hadn’t expected the Ice Swordsman to be so difficult to talk to, and that his words could instantly provoke him.

"Fine, let's go, I'll talk to you on the warship." Seeing that he was angry, Arthur grinned and got up to walk out of the tavern.

As soon as he left the tavern, Arthur's gaze seemed to automatically target Gion, who was watching from afar.

He looked at Gion across the street, his playful expression instantly clearing.

"old…"

"I'm not your wife!"

When Arthur was about to call her 'wife', Gion interrupted him on the spot.

"Sigh." He sighed, "It seems that no matter how much I tell you or how much I do for you, you don't believe me."

“I… want to talk to you alone.” Gion didn’t disbelieve, but she found it absurd and couldn’t accept it in a short time.

Arthur, who was about to board the warship's deck, paused upon hearing this, then immediately looked at her again, "Alright! Let's talk, let's talk alone, let's go right away."

"..." Gion didn't expect Arthur to react so strongly, and asked again, "What about your relationship with the CP agent?"

The next moment, Arthur punched Knives hard in the face, slamming his head into the dock floor.

The splattering of blood terrified the surrounding villagers, who quickly fled the scene of the incident.

“Nothing is more important than you!” Arthur ignored the unconscious Kneef and approached Gion with a very shy expression. “Come on, I’ll tell you everything you want to know.”

"Cooper!" (Look at you, you good-for-nothing, you disgrace!)
