Chapter 583: Chapter 388: Escaping with Treasure_1

Kawashima Yosuke shuddered and banished the thought from his mind. It can’t be like this! Allen wouldn’t let the National Master down. Though Sang Island may be small, our people are united and ambitious. With this opportunity, we will surely reclaim the sacred artifact Osaki Magatama, and then grow and prosper, conquering the entire Wood Dynasty with our vast fleet!

He secretly observed the Wood Dynasty’s ministers again, at least our goal of delaying and restraining them has been achieved. Allen should have already succeeded on his side!

Especially those familiar with Owen Bertram, they came forward to congratulate him one after another. The Fifth Prince was more direct, wishing he could embrace Owen Bertram. But because of his father, the Emperor’s presence, doing so would bring trouble to Master Bertram, so he laughed and said, "Master Bertram brings glory to our Wood Dynasty. When Master comes to watch the insect race, this Prince will not charge a penny and will treat you with the best box!"

Master Lane had no such scruples, and stepped forward with a smug look on his face, patting Owen Bertram’s shoulder, "Well done!" All of you look, this is the talent discovered by yours truly! In terms of finding talents, sorry, everyone present is rubbish.

Master Dunn was more reserved, smiling and nodding in approval. Of course, he was very satisfied. But what satisfied him most was the sentence Owen Bertram said before his battle with Shinobu – "I will fight to the death to defend against external humiliation!"

This is the real hero of the Wood Dynasty.

Imperial Ministers were so moved because they all understood that Shinobu displayed power that can be considered on par with the Sixth Great Realm! But the Emperor’s reaction was just average, expecting a beautiful sword dance, but it turned into a horror film in the end. He listlessly muttered a few words, "Master Bertram did not disappoint, well done. The decree for the Summit Navy, as I promised before, will be issued soon. But the support the Imperial Court can provide is limited; everything still depends on Master Bertram himself."

For the first time, Owen Bertram truly expressed his gratitude. "Thank you for your majesty’s grace!"

The Emperor waved his hand: "Alright, I am tired. Let’s end today’s events. Dismissed."

As for the Sang Island who had lost two people in a row, the Emperor did not bother to consider them. Ignoring them seems a bit inconsistent with the grace of a great emperor. But as Sang Island repeatedly challenged the ministers’ dissatisfaction, no one stood up for them, so the emperor and his ministers collectively ignored them.

Owen Bertram, however, walked up to Kawashima Yosuke and showed him the Ancient Village Sword, "I am confident that this sword belonged to Akasaka Saburo. In Eden Cave, it must have been Akasaka Saburo who manipulated this sword and killed many cultivators from our Wood Dynasty! Regarding this case, the South Prison Town Comforting Office is seriously investigating it. Before there’s a clear result, please do not leave the post house without permission, otherwise, any misunderstandings that may occur are undesirable for both parties!"

Kawashima Yosuke hesitated, and immediately retorted: "You are deciding the culprit is Akasaka Saburo just because of a sword that may have come from our Sang Island? Is the Upper State’s handling of the case so arbitrary? Moreover, even if it is Akasaka Saburo, he is dead. Do you want our entire embassy to be implicated?"

Owen Bertram coldly smiled: "Although Akasaka Saburo is dead, it doesn’t necessarily mean that it was just him who committed this heinous crime. I suspect there is someone behind the scenes! I also didn’t say that I would implicate all of you, only asking you to stay and cooperate with the investigation. What, Envoy, do you have a guilty conscience and dare not let us investigate?"

Kawashima Yosuke felt a sudden enormous pressure and dared not say more: "We are innocent; please feel free to conduct the investigation. Our embassy will fully cooperate!"

"It’s good as long as you cooperate. I’m also worried that if there is any violence against the investigation and accidental death occurs, it will not be good for the face of Sang Island!" Owen Bertram looked at Kawashima Yosuke with a playful expression, showing his full face of anger, and then turned around and left with his head held high.

...

Above the East Sea, at the edge of the Wood Dynasty’s maritime territory, the storm continued. Ferocious winds, giant waves, and flashing thunderstorms filled the sky, creating an apocalyptic darkness between heaven and sea. The huge battleship, like a sea dragon, remained stable despite the terrifying storm! A hazy light-green glow surrounded the outside of the ship, turning the surging waves, thunderbolt, strong winds, and pouring rain into tranquility.

Hundreds of Sang Island warriors knelt on the deck, their bodies trembling with excitement and their faces filled with ecstatic worship.

Although they had been following the National Master for a long time, every time they witnessed her miracles, they couldn’t help but prostrate themselves! The young, beautiful National Master stood on the bow of the ship, emanating a faint azure glow that protected the entire vessel. At the same time, she stretched out one hand, reaching towards the direction of the Wood Dynasty’s Capital.

Around that beautiful jade hand spread a glorious light similar to clouds, spanning an expanse of a hundred feet. The National Master, like a goddess holding a torch in the dark storm, led the ship forward!

The cloud-like glow drifted towards the direction of the Wood Dynasty, flowing in strands before finally vanishing into thin air. However, the people on the ship could feel that the National Master was sending her power over.

Although they didn’t know the specifics of Kawashima Yosuke’s mission to the Wood Dynasty, they, like Kawashima Yosuke, firmly believed that no matter the plan, since the National Master had taken action, it was as good as... a foregone conclusion!

Suddenly, a strong ripple passed through the air. Everyone clearly felt that something had been severed! Even a lightning bolt that happened to fall from the high sky was split into two!

The National Master’s body wavered slightly but soon regained stability.

"National Master——" the warriors exclaimed. The National Master had already retracted the jade hand, holding the torch, back into her sleeve and quietly held it in front of her abdomen.
