#234 - Chapter 234 Helplessness and Sorrow
“Please, save us!”
As he was dragged away by the guards, Tesoro struggled with all his might, knowing that Jin An before him was their only hope.
His eyes were filled with despair and pleading, his voice hoarse but filled with urgency.
Facing a Celestial Dragon, he could no longer remain indifferent; this powerful figure was their only chance of rescue.
The Celestial Dragon was enraged by the atmosphere, roaring wildly:
“Shut him up!”
His voice was filled with anger and impatience.
The guards were terrified into silence, hurriedly dragging Tesoro and Stella away.
However, how could Tesoro give up this only opportunity? He struggled desperately, with only one thought in his mind: he must get Jin An to help them.
Perhaps it was his strong desire for survival, or perhaps it was his deep love for Stella, but Tesoro actually broke free from the guards' control, quickly approaching Jin An and kneeling before him.
His throat was already hoarse, his voice filled with painful whimpers:
“Please, please, please…”
Each “please” was filled with deep despair and earnestness, heartbreaking to hear.
Tesoro's cry for help would move anyone to tears.
However, for those in the lawless zone, the cold-blooded ruthlessness here was commonplace.
The surrounding people were indifferent and mocking, completely unmoved.
Some even showed mocking expressions, looking at Tesoro as if watching a ridiculous farce.
“If crying was useful, the human traffickers here would have gone bankrupt long ago,”
a bystander said coldly, his tone full of disdain and ridicule.
Of course, Tesoro knew the cruel reality here; he never expected pity or sympathy from others.
He didn't care about other people's opinions, only thinking about rescuing Stella.
Watching Stella being dragged further and further away, his heart was torn apart, and tears kept pouring from his eyes.
Jin An looked at Tesoro kneeling before him, his gaze complex.
Tesoro's despair and pain deeply touched him.
He didn't speak, but a hint of sternness appeared on his face.
He always looked down on these Celestial Dragons; in his eyes, these people were like pigs.
Besides having fun and enjoying themselves, all they did was sleep and cause trouble for the Navy.
The Celestial Dragon frowned upon seeing this, a hint of panic appearing on his face, but he quickly returned to his aloof demeanor, coldly saying:
“You think this will change anything? Here, I am the rule!”
Jin An smiled coldly, a flash of cold light in his eyes.
He slowly lowered his head, looking at Tesoro in front of him, a hint of surprise flashing across his eyes.
The future Golden Emperor was actually kneeling before him like this.
It should be known that Tesoro later controlled 20% of the world's wealth all by himself.
The guards exchanged glances upon seeing this, and although they were afraid, they still took a step forward, trying to stop Jin An.
However, as soon as they moved, a powerful aura erupted from Jin An, like an insurmountable mountain, pressing down on them and preventing them from moving.
“Celestial Dragon, I find these two people pleasing to the eye.”
“How about you let me have them…”
Jin An's voice was icy cold, and the guards were intimidated by his aura, retreating repeatedly, not daring to step forward again.
The Celestial Dragon's face turned ashen upon hearing this, his eyes filled with anger and fear.
He knew Jin An's strength, and although he was unwilling, he didn't dare to act rashly.
“Aren't you afraid I'll report you to the Navy Headquarters? That won't be good for you either.”
The Celestial Dragon said through gritted teeth, but his voice no longer had the previous majesty, instead sounding somewhat weak.
“Not good?”
Jin An looked at him coldly, his eyes full of disdain.
“I'm just making a deal with you, not violating any principles…”
Although the Celestial Dragon was intimidated by Jin An's aura, he still couldn't give up the slaves he had obtained.
“They are all my possessions, even if I kill them here, I will not agree to your...request!”
After he finished speaking, he turned around and ordered the guards to take Tesoro and Stella away, ignoring Jin An, who was a threat to him.
He refused to believe that Jin An would dare to attack him.
Seeing that Jin An hadn't spoken for a long time, Tesoro's hope gradually faded, and the despair in his heart surged like a tide.
The hope that had been ignited in him now plunged him into an even deeper abyss, his heart ashen.
He looked at Jin An and smiled bitterly.
He understood that no one in this world dared to truly oppose the Celestial Dragons.
The moment the Celestial Dragon took a fancy to them, their fate had been easily decided.
Tesoro felt it was ridiculous that their lives were completely destroyed because of the Celestial Dragon's momentary interest.
“As expected, no one in this world can save us.”
Tesoro's heart was filled with helplessness and sorrow.
But he also secretly vowed that as long as he could survive, he would make these Celestial Dragons feel true pain.
He looked at the Celestial Dragon surreptitiously, a flame of revenge burning in his heart.
The Celestial Dragon smiled disdainfully, as expected, he was still the Celestial Dragon that the world feared.
Jin An's appearance was nothing more than a clown's performance in his eyes.
“With your little tricks, you still want to fight me?”
he said mockingly, continuing to walk forward.
However, after walking a distance, the Celestial Dragon noticed that none of the guards were moving.
He frowned, his voice revealing impatience:
“Hurry up and leave, I'm in a hurry to return to Mariejois.”
“If I'm late, I'll skin you alive!”
His voice was filled with anger and threats.
However, the guards still didn't move.
Suddenly, a series of “thump, thump” sounds rang out.
The guards fell to the ground one after another, foaming at the mouth.
The Celestial Dragon looked at Jin An in shock, a flash of anger in his eyes:
“What's going on!!!”
“Did you do this? You actually dared to attack me!”
Jin An spread his hands, a faint smile on his face:
“Don't wrong me, I didn't do anything.”
His words were tinged with teasing, as if everything that happened here had nothing to do with him.
The Celestial Dragon looked at the guards lying on the ground, the fear in his heart constantly deepening.
His heart was racing, and cold sweat began to break out on his forehead, but he still maintained his arrogant posture.
“You...you will pay the price for this!”
The Celestial Dragon said through gritted teeth, but his voice regained its previous fear and panic.
“Pay the price?”
Jin An sneered, his eyes as cold as ice.
“It wasn't me who did it, and you want me to pay the price?”
His words were full of contempt and pity, as if looking at a humble worm.
Tesoro looked at everything in front of him, and hope rekindled in his heart.
He knew that no one in this world dared to attack the Celestial Dragons except for himself.
A flash of determination appeared in his eyes, and he clenched his fists tightly.
No matter what, he would not give up Stella, would not give up the pursuit of freedom.
The Celestial Dragon looked at Jin An, could it really not be this Navy in front of him?
“The Sabaody Archipelago is so lively today, it's a rare sight…”
