"That's right. I hope Chief Escort Sea can help us arrange an opponent for the upcoming match." Long Kuiba blurted out.
"Hmph, you want me to throw the match?" Boundless Sea's expression changed and he said coldly, "Don't even think about it. The Southern Continent Escort Association's Grand Gathering has always been fair and impartial. No cheating is allowed. Otherwise, the Grand Gathering would lose its purpose. Please leave."
"Wait!" Boundless Sea was about to send them off when Cheng Haonan hurriedly said, "Chief Escort Sea, please wait. We want you to arrange an opponent for us. It's none other than the Heaven's Equal Escort Agency!"
"Heaven's Equal Escort Agency?" Boundless Sea's movements paused. These were the words he didn't want to hear the most. When he thought of how badly he had suffered, he couldn't help but be furious.
"That's right. The one we want to deal with the most is Heaven's Equal Escort Agency's Ling Yi. Chief Escort Sea, you've also suffered at his hands before. I'm sure you hate him to the bone. We can work together!" Cheng Haonan quickly said.
He saw Ling Yi as a thorn in his side. In order to deal with Ling Yi and avenge his son, he was willing to pay any price. If he missed this opportunity, it would be too late for regrets.
"Oh?" Boundless Sea slowly put the teacup back down. He didn't continue to chase them away. Instead, he fell into deep thought.
As expected, there's a chance! Long Kuiba and the others looked at each other. Their spirits rose and their hearts settled.
"Tell me, why do you want to deal with Ling Yi?" Boundless Sea's fingers drummed rhythmically on the table as he looked up at the three.
If it weren't for Cheng Haonan's words, he would definitely have chased them away. After all, the Four Seas Escort Agency's name was still there. If these people didn't keep their mouths shut and spoke carelessly, it would be easy for them to cause trouble. Even if it was just for his image, Boundless Sea had to maintain his impartiality.
However, the Heaven's Equal Escort Agency and Ling Yi were two different matters. Cheng Haonan was right. He hated Ling Yi to the bone!
The Four Seas Escort Agency had fallen from being the overlord of the escort agencies that was at its zenith to its current state of being overshadowed. It was ranked third on the scoreboard, almost falling out of the top five. This was the main culprit behind all of this. It was Ling Yi.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that out of the 670 points that the Heaven's Equal Escort Agency had obtained, at least 500 points had come directly from Ling Yi. This person's ability was so abnormal that it could not be viewed with common sense.
After suffering at his hands twice in a row, even Boundless Sea had to admit that as long as Ling One was there, the chances of his Four Seas Escort Agency turning the tables were minuscule. But now, a hired thug had delivered himself to his doorstep. He didn't mind adding fuel to the fire and killing with a borrowed knife.
During the day, Boundless Sea had seen the conflict between Long Kuiba and Ling Yi. Therefore, they believed that they had the foundation to become allies. However, before that, they had to first figure out the specific situation. Otherwise, it wouldn't be like using a borrowed knife to kill someone. Instead, he had become the knife in the other party's hand.
"Chief Escort Hai, you might not know this, but our Dragon Boat Escort Agency and the Poison Eye Mercenary Group are located in the same city as their Heaven's Equal Escort Agency. We've always been incompatible like fire and water. It's not the first time we've fought and killed each other. "Long Kuiba hurriedly explained.
"Haha, there can't be two tigers on one mountain." Boundless Sea raised his eyelids. This wasn't strange at all. People of the same trade were enemies. With two escort agencies squeezed together, it would be strange if they could get along!
As for the Poison Eye Mercenary Group, there was an unwritten rule in the South Continent's seas. All the so-called mercenary groups were actually the original pirate groups that had been whitewashed. Therefore, there was usually a blood feud between them and the local escort agencies. It was normal for them to be like fire and water.
"Not only that, my only son, Qin Tian, died in the Heaven's Equal Escort Agency. He was killed by this Ling One. Chief Escort Hai, tell me, how could I let this bastard go?" Cheng Haonan added, gnashing his teeth.
"Oh? There's such a thing? " Boundless Sea was moved. The hatred of his son's death was absolutely irreconcilable. Looking at Cheng Haonan's expression, he wouldn't joke about this.
"Chief Escort Hai, in front of me, I don't dare to lie. Therefore, in order to avenge my son's death, I beg Chief Escort Hai to open the door of convenience and let me kill my enemy. This Cheng will be eternally grateful." Cheng Haonan was a smart person. He no longer talked about the hatred between the Four Seas Escort Agency and Ling One. Instead, he shifted the blame to himself.
"Your request is reasonable …" Boundless Sea's expression was unfathomable. Long Kuiba and the others thought he was going to agree and were overjoyed. They didn't expect him to suddenly change the topic. "However, although our Four Seas Escort Agency suffered some losses in the Grand Meeting, this doesn't mean that we have to take revenge privately. It's taboo to destroy the public for personal reasons. The fairness of the Southern Continent Escort Agency's Grand Meeting will not be destroyed in my hands. Not in the past, not now, and not in the future!"
This dignified official reply left Long Kuiba and the others dumbstruck. They couldn't help but look at each other. Wasn't this change a little too quick?
Seeing that Boundless Sea was still speaking righteously and didn't seem like he was faking it, the three felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over their heads. They were immediately disappointed. Their Little Rou already had the resolve to be the knife. They took the initiative to let the other side borrow the knife to kill them, but the other side didn't accept the knife. How were they supposed to play?
Looking at the Southern Continent Escort Agency's Grand Meeting, only the five judges from the Five Great Escort Agency had the opportunity to play tricks in the open. The others were far from qualified.
Unfortunately, Cheng Haonan and Wu Bao Liang, these two amateurs, didn't need to be said. Even Long Kuiba himself, because the Dragon Boat Escort Agency had always been weak, couldn't climb up to the higher branches of the Five Great Escort Agency. Now that he finally had the chance to use Ling One, a common enemy, to ask for Boundless Sea's help, he didn't expect to hit a wall.
Things had already reached this point. Staying any longer would only make a fool of themselves. Long Kuiba and the others looked at each other and could only salute Boundless Sea with flagging interest. "If that's the case, then we won't disturb Chief Escort Sea any longer. We'll take our leave now."
"Wait." Boundless Sea suddenly stopped them. "For the sake of justice, I definitely won't use my position to avenge a private grudge. However, seeing that you have a blood feud with me, this matter is pardonable. I can agree to help you secretly, but I can't be too biased. Do you understand?"
