"What else do you have to say? The wanted criminal has been found, and now I suspect that one of you is his accomplice. Guards, keep an eye on them. This ship will now be taken over by the Fifth Fleet, and we'll talk about it after we investigate the facts! " Delano laughed smugly, and waved his hand to get his subordinates to step forward to detain the sailors of The Star.
However, just as Delano and the others came out of the cabin with the so-called wanted criminal, Julio knew that the matter was not going to end well. Hence, he immediately secretly arranged for a sailor to leave The Star secretly to report to Lin Li.
Due to the fact that Helena Port was not close to the Gilded Kingdom, the sailor still had to rush there even though he was not weak. It took him nearly two days to finally get there.
By the time Forcus snapped back to his senses, the sailor of The Star had already bypassed him, and entered the door of Lin Li's residence. Seeing this scene, Forcus dared not delay, and hurriedly rushed over in a bid to find out what exactly had happened so that he could think of a solution.
However, before Forcus could step on the stairs, Lin Li and the sailor had already walked out. He scurried forward, and anxiously said, "President Felic, there must be some misunderstanding here. Please rest assured, I'll handle this matter for you immediately."
In fact, at this moment, there was no need to investigate at all, because Forcus already had an answer in his heart. Apart from that bastard Delano, no one else would do such a thing. Looking at the calm expression on Lin Li's face, Forcus felt like a storm was brewing, and he really wished he could kill Delano at this moment.
Of course, Forcus was just thinking about it. In fact, what he was really worried about was that President Felic would kill Delano in a fit of anger. If the one who caused trouble was another minister or noble, Forcus wouldn't be as worried as he was now. At most, he would just have to sacrifice a few people to make amends.
However, although Delano was incompetent, he had a good father, High Priest Poer, who was also a Sanctuary powerhouse whose status and influence in the Gilded Kingdom were not inferior to King Bradlor's. Otherwise, how could a good-for-nothing like Delano become the commander of the Fifth Fleet? If Lin Li really killed Delano, High Priest Poer would definitely not let it go. If neither side was willing to give in, a war would probably be inevitable.
It was precisely because of these worries that even if Fawkes was unwilling, he still wanted to take responsibility for this matter. When the time came, he would investigate a little and pick a few of Delano's subordinates to take the blame, and this matter would probably be resolved.
However, Lin Li glanced at Forcus calmly, and said, "It's just a small matter, you don't have to worry about it."
Normally, such a sentence would just be an ordinary polite sentence, but at this time, it made Fox shiver all over. Although he could not feel any anger from Lin Li, he knew that things were developing in a direction that he could not control. How could anyone provoke a Sanctuary powerhouse!?
Lin Li didn't even have to guess to know who the culprit was. Although he wasn't too angry about it, he couldn't pretend that nothing had happened. The gods would not forgive blasphemers, and similarly, the Sanctuary powerhouses would not be magnanimous enough to forgive all the insignificant ants who had offended them. Otherwise, everyone would dare to step on their heads. This was not the time to be forgiving. This concerned the dignity of a Sanctuary powerhouse, and the reason why the gods would punish blasphemers was the same.
"President Felic, I know that we are responsible for this matter. I just hope that you can give me some time, and I will definitely give you a satisfactory explanation." Forcus was really anxious, and he no longer said that it was a misunderstanding. Instead, he directly took all the responsibility, and hoped that Lin Li could let him handle the matter.
After all, to Forcus, as long as he was the one to handle the matter, it would be equivalent to holding the initiative. Regardless of how much responsibility he had, he would at least have some leeway to maneuver. However, if the matter was completely handled by Lin Li, Forcus would be in a passive position.
"It's not that our President didn't give you a chance when you went to welcome him previously, but now that something like this has happened, it's obvious that your so-called solution is useless." Hordak, the sailor who came to report the news, couldn't help but be infuriated when he saw that Forcus wanted to take the blame.
Previously, when Forcus went to welcome The Star, he encountered Delano causing trouble on The Star. In the end, he apologized and guaranteed that the matter was over. In Hordak's opinion, after this incident, Forcus should at least warn that fellow called Delano, or just transfer him away. However, only a few days later, Delano arrested all the sailors on The Star on the grounds of arresting criminals, and took control of The Star.
Hearing the sailor's words, Forcus really couldn't defend himself apart from cursing Delano in his heart. He couldn't possibly tell Hordak that he couldn't do anything to Delano, right? Otherwise, Hordak wouldn't let him handle the matter.
"President Felic, I will immediately report this matter to His Majesty and my teacher. This time, we will definitely give you a satisfactory explanation." Seeing that he obviously couldn't gain Hordak's trust, Forcus brought up the king and his teacher. Didn't you say that I can't handle this matter because of my status? In that case, His Majesty and Teacher Zumar should be enough, right?
However, no matter what Forcus said, Lin Li did not respond. Instead, he took out the Summoning Lamp, and released the Lord Devourer, Garl. Garl's massive body was like a huge hot air balloon that floated above everyone's heads, casting a shadow over the entire area.
"My Master, Garl awaits your orders!" Garl said to Lin Li respectfully after appearing.
In fact, when Garl was first forced to sign the Soul Contract by Lin Li, he wasn't very convinced by his young human master. However, in the following period of time, he saw Lin Li's strength increasing rapidly almost every day, and he had already reached the high-level of the Sanctuary-realm.
His human master had such terrifying strength at such a young age, and he was even superior to the Immortal King and Geresby. Hence, Garl didn't dare to show the slightest bit of dissatisfaction. Hence, when he was summoned again, Garl immediately adjusted his position, and was as respectful as he could be.
Seeing that Lin Li had suddenly summoned such a monster, Forcus could feel the terrifying aura emanating from it even though he didn't know the origin of the monster. That immediately made him even more anxious, and he almost begged, "President Felic, please give us a chance to salvage the situation. Delano must have taken the initiative to do this. Give me some time, I'll immediately ask His Majesty to bring Delano to you, and let you deal with him as you see fit! "
In Forcus's opinion, as long as he stepped forward to get The Star and the sailors to come out, and then bring Delano to apologize to the president of the Tower of Dusk, all the problems would be solved perfectly. After all, to the president of the Tower of Dusk, Delano was just like an ant, and as long as he sincerely apologized, the other party probably wouldn't take it to heart.
However, if the Tower of Dusk were to intervene personally, the nature of the entire matter would change, and it would really become a diplomatic incident. It would no longer be a matter between the president of the Tower of Dusk and the insignificant Delano, but a dispute between the Tower of Dusk and the Gilded Kingdom. In fact, it might even affect the relationship between the entire Breezy Plains and the Gilded Kingdom. After all, the Tower of Dusk had a dominant position in the Breezy Plains, and almost all the forces in the Breezy Plains followed their lead.
However, Lin Li was completely indifferent to Forcus' pleading. He raised his head to look at Garl who was in the sky, and said, "You already know what happened. No matter what method you use, make them hand over our ship and sailors. Go."
"Please rest assured, Master, I will make them hand over your ship and sailors obediently." As soon as Garl heard that Lin Li did not restrict him from doing what he wanted, and did not care about the process, he immediately became extremely excited. Hence, after agreeing to Lin Li's request without hesitation, he flew towards Helena Port with his large and bloated body at a speed that was unbefitting of his size.
"President Felic!" Seeing this scene, Forcus knew that it was useless for him to say anything else. Judging from the menacing look of the monster, he was obviously not going to negotiate with Delano. Forcus knew that he could not delay any longer.
With a bitter expression, Forcus hurriedly bade farewell to Lin Li, and used his Power of Flight to fly towards Helena Port. His only chance now was to get The Star and its sailors out of Delano's place unscathed before things got out of hand.
However, to Forcus' surprise, he saw Delano arrogantly leading a team of warriors towards him before he even left the city. Seeing that Delano still dared to appear there, Forcus immediately flew into a rage. Hence, he immediately stopped and landed in front of Delano. He hollered angrily, "Delano, what the hell are you doing? Did you ignore what I said!?"
