Chapter 487: Chapter 290: The Walking Brain_2

"A trap, huh..."

The Son of Heaven neither confirmed nor denied it, tapping his fingers on the desk, he ordered, "First, send someone to verify the authenticity of the map piece, and also inquire about the Dragon Knight Pirate Group..."

Upon his order, everyone busied themselves with their tasks.

Currently, with abundant manpower and resources in the Evil Spirit Sea Area, verifying information was not difficult.

An hour later, news came back.

"President, the map piece has been verified. There’s indeed a piece in the Underwater Prison, but we can’t confirm which one it is."

"President, according to information collected from the Dragon Knight Pirate Group, their young lord was just imprisoned on the fourth level last week. The reason was for burning down the Octopus King’s casino. The Dragon Knight Pirate Group indeed set a bounty for secretly rescuing him. The reward is a Dragon Taming Stone..."

The arrival of these two pieces of confirmed information left everyone stunned.

"Could it be... what Jack said was true?" Smiley was somewhat incredulous.

"But if it’s true, why would Jack tell us? Isn’t this giving us an opportunity?" Devil frowned.

"Simple, because he wants us to have a fallout with the Octopus King, and they don’t need map piece number two. Telling us this information only proves beneficial for him, and there is no harm." The Son of Heaven calmly analyzed.

"So, are we... going?" Smiley was hesitant.

"Go! Because we have the ’restriction that if we don’t save people, we can’t assemble the map pieces’, we must go. We currently hold the most advantage and are the ones who wish for a quick resolution. We must handle this, otherwise, no one else will. The longer it is delayed, the more disadvantageous it will be for us."

The Son of Heaven said: "Of course, investigating the prison does not mean we have to rescue anyone. Remember, our aim is just to assemble the nine map pieces, once we meet that person, we can deceive and coax him into handing over the map piece, as soon as the pieces are assembled and the entrance is open, we retreat immediately. As for map piece number two, if we can buy it or get it from them, that would be ideal. If not, that’s okay, even without this map piece, we are still the most advantageous!"

"So we... agree with Jack?" Smiley asked uncertainly.

"Agree, furthermore, setting the assembly location for the map pieces at the Underwater Prison might be a good thing. Given that the Underwater Prison is Octopus King’s territory, right under his nose, no one can play tricks here. Even if Jack has great ability, it is impossible for him to bribe the Octopus King, which means the Underwater Prison may be the safest and fairest meeting place for everyone."

After the Son of Heaven’s thorough analysis, even he seemed convinced.

He took out his phone and decided to set the meeting place at the Underwater Prison, informing Jack about this decision.

[Edward Jack: Meeting in the Underwater Prison, huh... I have no problem with it, but the Ghost Captain is also involved, right? What does he say?]

[Son of Heaven: I will discuss with him later.]

[Edward Jack: Good, I will leave it to you.]

After ending the private chat with Jack, the Son of Heaven immediately found the ’Ghost Captain’ in his contacts.

[Son of Heaven: There’ve been unexpected developments regarding the assembly location for the map pieces-- it’s temporarily set at the fourth level of the Underwater Prison...]

[Ghost Captain: ???]

[Ghost Captain: Have you set another trap in the Underwater Prison?]

[Son of Heaven: Absolutely not! This matter was initiated because of some complications on Jack’s side...]

The Son of Heaven explained the whole situation and quickly went over the details.

[Son of Heaven: That’s basically what happened, if you don’t believe, you can ask Jack yourself.]

[Ghost Captain: Helping someone escape prison only to get jailed... that sounds absurd!]

[Son of Heaven: Indeed, we also thought it was a lie, but the reality is, setting the meeting at the Underwater Prison could have benefits...]

The Son of Heaven continued his analysis of the benefits of the Underwater Prison, clear in his arguments and logical in his explanation, essentially producing a mini thesis.

[Ghost Captain: What you say makes sense, let’s do it that way then.]

[Son of Heaven: Do you have any requirements for the time?]

[Ghost Captain: About time, let’s adhere to the local time; all persons should enter the Underwater Prison by 8:00 PM on the 26th, start the meeting, how does that sound?]

[Son of Heaven: Alright.]

[Son of Heaven: Please be sure to arrive on time.]

[Ghost Captain: Don’t worry.]

After closing the chat, Mu You let out a sigh of relief.

This way, he had successfully led the meeting to a location which was relatively advantageous for him.

The visitation area of the Underwater Prison is only on the first, second, and fourth levels, and everyone only gets one visitation opportunity per year, in addition to a visitation fee of a hundred years of lifespan.

However, for people like the Son of Heaven and Jack, this fee was nothing.

Regaining his senses, Mu You quickly refocused his attention back on the game.

He had been catching Mana Floating Dragons in the Sunlight Forest, and just when the Son of Heaven sent him a private message, a surprising text popped up on his game screen.

[Pumpkin Lamp Special Effects, activated!]

[Under the glow of the Pumpkin Lantern, you notice some strange scratches in the golden-red mud beneath your feet. These are not the footprints of animals, but irregular marks that look more like they were drawn by branches or something similar.]
