From the perspective of Zheping's identity, Kaede Sato had come to Kaina City to seek shelter from a relative, an uncle whom he had not contacted for many years.
In fact, the most difficult thing for Zheping was that he had contacted this uncle, whom he had never met before, to ask for help.
Unfortunately, this uncle of Zheping, who had already established a foothold in Kaina City and had a small family business, simply looked down on his poor relative. When it came to borrowing money, the other party began to play dead and was unwilling to lend even a penny.
In the end, even when Zheping was hospitalized and in a vegetative state, his uncle still did not come to see him. It was true that the tea cools when the person leaves.
From this, it could be seen how much Zheping's uncle disliked his poor relative.
Therefore, Kaede Sato had no intention of seeking shelter from this "uncle." This time he came to Kaina City, he just wanted to settle down in the most prosperous city in the Plentiful Edge Region, and then start the road to the Alliance in the Plentiful Edge Region.
However, now that he had set foot on the road to the Alliance in the Plentiful Edge Region, he first had to register as an alliance trainer. The Alliance Competition was always only open to registered alliance trainers. Similarly, the path to promotion within the alliance was the same.
In general, the alliance was similar to other forces, very exclusive.
The question was, how could a commoner trainer like Zhe Ping, who had no background, become a real trainer in the Alliance?
Generally speaking, there was only one way, and that was, Kaede Sato had to first go to the Wisp Center to register as a registered trainer in the alliance, then complete some tasks arranged by the alliance. When a certain number of tasks were completed, Kaede Sato could automatically become a peripheral member of the alliance (in other words, a non-direct trainer).
Although he was only a peripheral member of the alliance, he still had the qualifications to participate in the Alliance Competition. At the same time, he also had the right to freely choose tasks issued by the alliance, and the right to use the alliance's internal currency to purchase alliance goods.
However, now the situation had changed. Kaede Sato now had a very powerful letter of introduction.
As long as he had this letter of introduction, he would be able to skip the first step and directly become an outer member of the Alliance. He might even become an inner member of the Alliance (a direct trainer).
Indeed, this recommendation letter had been given to him by the old captain, Regou. Regou was also a trainer in the Alliance, and as a former Heavenly King trainer, his status in the Alliance was not low.
It was because of this that Kaede Sato was confident that he would be able to use this recommendation letter to quickly become a registered Alliance Trainer, and one with a Heavenly King Stage Trainer as his backing.
According to Captain Regou's last words, Kaede Sato was now going to the Ocean Research Institute in Kaina City to look for an elf doctor named Todd, and then he would give him this letter of introduction from Regou.
Kaede Sato listened to Captain Regou's introduction. This elf doctor named Todd was his old friend. In that chaotic era, the two had been comrades who had gone through life and death together.
Todd's hometown was Kaina City. He was a top figure in the field of Sea Fairies, and he had published many famous papers. Within the Alliance, his status was much higher than Regou's.
Therefore, Captain Regou told Kaede Sato with certainty that as long as he handed this letter to Todd, his desire to become an Alliance Trainer would not be a problem at all.
The Ocean Research Institute was located in the upper right corner of Kaina City. It was built on a high cliff along the eastern coast of Kaina City. Kaede Sato was unfamiliar with the place. He asked many people along the way before he found this research institute that was far away from the hustle and bustle of the city.
However, when Kaede Sato came to the gate of the Ocean Research Institute, he found that the entire Ocean Research Institute was completely closed. Even if he rang the doorbell outside for a long time, no one would open the door.
In the end, Kaede Sato had no choice but to use his mental power to observe the situation inside through the door. Then he found that there was no one in the research institute now.
"What's going on? What the hell happened here? How come there is no one in such a big research institute? "
Kaede Sato looked at the huge but empty research institute in front of him and thought with a strange expression on his face.
It was obviously useless to wait here. Kaede Sato had to turn around and leave with a trace of disappointment.
However, he did not choose to give up. He walked around and finally found a person who knew something about the Ocean Research Institute in a small fishing village nearby.
"Sir, are you saying that the people in that research institute have mysteriously disappeared in front of everyone?"
In front of the small fishing village's canteen, Kaede Sato handed a bottle of high-grade beer worth 50 Alliance dollars to the greedy old man in front of him and said with a look of surprise.
"Yes, it happened in the past few days. It's very strange. Overnight, the people in that research institute disappeared. If it weren't for the people who delivered supplies in the morning, no one might have found out for a few days …"
The old man quickly took the beer handed over by Kaede Sato. After gulping down a few mouthfuls, he explained in detail to Kaede Sato the reason why there was no one in the Ocean Research Institute now.
"I'm really unlucky. They didn't come late or early, but they just had to disappear when I came. This is too unlucky. Could it be that opening the treasure chest has consumed all the luck that I've accumulated for a long time?"
After listening to the old man's words, Kaede Sato couldn't help but feel disappointed with his luck.
According to the old man, the whereabouts of the people in the Ocean Research Institute were still unknown. Although the police in Kaina City were almost all dispatched because of this incident, and even one of the Four Heavenly Kings was alarmed, they still haven't been able to find the whereabouts of the missing people in the Ocean Research Institute.
"It's impossible for them to disappear for no reason. I guess the people in the research institute were kidnapped, and they were kidnapped in a situation where they couldn't fight back. If this is the case, this matter has completely exceeded the scope of my ability."
Kaede Sato analyzed the content of the old man's summary and finally came to a conclusion that made him feel extremely helpless.
Dr. Todd of the Ocean Research Institute was once a comrade who went through life and death with Captain Regou, so his strength was obviously not bad. Even if he was old and his strength had declined, he definitely still had the strength of a Quasi-Heavenly King.
According to the introduction of the old man in the fishing village and what he learned about the Ocean Research Institute with his mental power detection, there was no sound or any trace of fighting in the Ocean Research Institute.
That was to say, the people in the institute should have been kidnapped without any resistance or being unable to resist.
"By the way, on the night the people in the institute disappeared, I happened to be walking by the sea. I seemed to have seen a ship leaving quickly on the sea. The speed of the ship was really fast. It disappeared in the blink of an eye."
Soon, the old man in the fishing village finished the 500ml bottle of high-grade beer. He took a sip and then said to Kaede Sato drunkenly.
