Chapter 906: Intuition
"Isn\'t he too cowardly for that? Why is he going to the Royal City when he used to stay as far away from them as possible?" Karyk asked. "I\'m not sure. Though I did hear from some Pirates that something big is happening in the Royal City," the Pirate Chief said. "The Royal Elzeiran Family had sent an invitation to every influential person in the Elzeiran Empire. The Leaders of every city had also been invited."
"An invitation to gather at the Royal City?" Karyk hadn\'t expected something like this. He thought the Royal City would have been sealed at the moment. But they were inviting all the powerful people in the Empire?
"Is the invasion going to happen before the expected date?" Gabriel chimed in. He could only think of one reason for an invitation out of nowhere. It was to inform everyone about the invasion. "That should be unlikely. Our world still isn\'t prepared for them to invade. The essence that they need to use their powers haven\'t been absorbed by our world completely yet. It would be foolish for them to invade so early."
"Who says they can\'t be foolish?" Gabriel asked, not removing any possibility. "Did the Sea King also receive an invitation?" Karyk asked the undead Pirate Chief. "Not to my knowledge." The undead pirate chief shook his head. "I believe he went there on his own to see what was happening there."
Gabriel continued asking him more questions, but Karyk appeared to be lost in thoughts. An invitation was sent to all the City Leaders. Didn\'t that mean an invitation was also sent to the Border City?
And if someone had come there with an invitation, it wasn\'t impossible for them to not notice the abnormalities. There were protection mechanisms everywhere. All the residents of the city were Purebloods. The city had various new buildings that were inspired by the architecture of their world. If it was discovered, it would definitely be reported to the Royal Family. The most likely outcome was that the envoy had been captured by the residents and the Puppet Master, not allowed to go back. If the envoy wasn\'t a pureblood, it was even more likely that he was killed. But that didn\'t change the outcome. If an envoy disappeared from the border city, right after the Royal City fiasco, the Royal Family was definitely going to believe it was his work!
The Royal Family was definitely going to be led straight to the border city, and it could put all his plans in jeopardy. He wanted to contact the Celestial Empress to have her contact the Puppet Master, but he hadn\'t forgotten how she had replied when his life was on the line and he asked for the same thing. He hadn\'t forgotten her intentions of turning him into a slave if he wanted to leave. As he was distracted after returning to his world, he had completely forgotten about this matter. He wanted to go directly to the Border City and check the situation. He wanted to check up on the residents and take precautions in case they were exposed to the Royal Family. If possible, he wanted to have them abandon the city for the time being, if they weren\'t prepared. Unfortunately, they were in a really large number. No matter where they went, they were going to be too eye-catching. The only other option was to bring them to Pirate Island. He was even more certain that he had to hurry now. He had to completely take possession of the Island. "I heard that there is a guest on the Pirate Island who is as strong as the Sea King. Tell us more about him."
Karyk was distracted by his own thoughts when he heard Gabriel\'s question. He also paid attention to the answer. "There was one person. We don\'t know who he was. We only know that he was the Sea King\'s friend. Other than that, even we don\'t know much," the Pirate Chief answered. Since he didn\'t know about the identity of that person, he couldn\'t answer clearly either. "What did he look like? Was he a pureblood?" Karyk asked. The only person as strong as the Sea King should be a Shadow Guard after all. He wondered if the Royal Family already started getting in contact with the Sea King? Was this why he went to the Royal City?
"We didn\'t see his face." The Pirate Chief shook his head. "But I doubt he was a pureblood."
"How can you be certain of that?" Gabriel asked. "Just an intuition," the undead pirate chief replied. "Our intuition is rarely wrong."
"Why do I find it hard to believe?" Gabriel couldn\'t believe that this guy actually said that his intuition was always right, when he had been fooled by their disguise. If they could fool him, why couldn\'t a pureblood? n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
"Since he has left, there\'s not much point talking about him. We need to get the island under control faster." Karyk stood up. Even if the Sea King was close to the Royals now, it didn\'t change his plans as he was planning to turn the Sea King into an undead in the first place.
