With Adam's face, Liu Xiaojiang stood behind Windsor and Charles. Looking at the inexplicably panicking Nason islanders, he finally opened his mouth and said something that suited his character.
"Everything … will wait until we meet the King. Then, the King will decide how to resolve this matter. After all, the matter can't be reversed. No matter how much we say now … it won't help the matter at all."
After that, he looked at the Nathan Islanders who asked him a question. "Where … is the King?"
Hearing that.
The Nason islanders turned silent. The person who was questioned knew that the king valued Adam's ability, thus he replied.
"The King … should still be fishing."
"Things are just like what Adam said. Everything should be decided by the King …" Windsor saw that Liu Xiaojiang asked about the King's whereabouts and immediately stopped talking to the Nathan Islanders. It was obvious that she was annoyed by these guys.
"We will personally report the specific details of this matter to the King. As for whether we will be punished for failing this mission, it shouldn't be up to you guys to decide …"
After that, she and Charles immediately brought Liu Xiaojiang away without caring about the Nathan Islanders' expressions. They seemed to be worried that if they stayed too long, Liu Xiaojiang's identity would be exposed.
Seeing that.
Although the Nathan Islanders gathered here were annoyed with Windsor and worried that they would be implicated by the failure of Windsor and the others, they didn't say anything after thinking about the King's existence.
Because.
They believed that no matter what happened, as long as the King was on Nathan Island, he would definitely not let the ordinary people act recklessly. They would definitely be able to live on the island safely …
…
After a long time.
Liu Xiaojiang followed behind Windsor and Charles. They slowly walked through the forest area connected to the simple port, bypassed the large residential area behind the forest area, and arrived at the relatively open coast on the other side.
After walking on this island for so long, he naturally realized that the living environment on the island wasn't comfortable. It could even be considered to be a relatively bad situation.
Furthermore …
There did not seem to be another residential area on the island, nor was there any preferential treatment that suited the identity of a 'king'. It was as if even that being who was like a savior to the islanders was still living together with the ordinary islanders.
A king wasn't a king, but he was able to do something that even a 'king' would find hard to do …
Liu Xiaojiang followed Windsor and Charles to the shore. When he saw the figure sitting on the shore with a fishing rod in his hand, the doubt and confusion in his eyes became even stronger.
"Windsor, Charles, and Adam …" As though sensing the movement behind him, the man on the wooden bench said without turning his head.
I'm glad that the three of you returned safely. This time, I wasn't able to welcome you at the port like the others … You won't blame me, right? "
"King …" Windsor and Charles brought Liu Xiaojiang behind the man, then they habitually knelt on one knee and said,
"We're really sorry this time. Not only did the mission fail, but even Captain Jeffrey and the others were also left there. After that, only the three of us shamelessly came back …"
"Alright, it's not your fault. Blame the enemy for being too strong." The man interrupted with a smile without turning his head.
"In fact, after hearing the whole story from those guys, I was actually surprised that the three of you returned safely. As for what the others were worried about … most likely, it won't happen."
"After all, they didn't think about how much benefits our relatively convenient existence had brought to those guys over the years. If those guys still have the intention to destroy us, perhaps it's just some kind of plan against me."
"Now …"
"Miss Gabriel is dead. They no longer have the power to restrain me. Destroying me … is only a matter of time."
"…" Windsor.
"…" Charles.
"Because you don't want to be an Inhuman and become expendable for the benefit of those ordinary people?" Liu Xiaojiang stared at Adam's face and used Adam's voice to say something that Adam would never say.
Besides.
Just now, when Windsor and Charles were kneeling on the ground, he didn't submit to the man like the two of them. It was as if the moment he saw the man, he had already achieved his goal of disguising himself.
Upon hearing that.
The man placed the fishing rod in his hand on the rack, then slowly stood up and faced Liu Xiaojiang and the other two. His gaze was fixed on Adam's face from the beginning to the end.
"But now, I'm the only one who still thinks so. Those guys who I hope to live like humans will always be willing to become expendable for those ordinary people because of the small benefits given by those ordinary people, or purely for their own safety."
"You're smart and confident …"
Liu Xiaojiang looked at the young man in a suit and tie. The illusion in his heart about Nathan King's appearance was instantly shattered. He didn't expect him to be such a young guy.
Moreover.
In a place like Nathan Island, where the living environment was harsh, this person was wearing an almost spotless black suit. No matter how one looked at him, he would give off an extremely strange feeling …
"Although most people on this island don't know, Adam is indeed a child that I personally picked up back then. It can even be said that he is the only successor that I regard as my own …" Seeing that Liu Xiaojiang didn't speak, the man immediately explained.
"Your disguise as him is indeed very realistic, but if you want to deceive me, the father who watched him grow up … it's not enough."
Hearing such words.
Liu Xiaojiang's eyelids suddenly twitched. This wasn't because he was afraid of the man in front of him, nor did he care about his identity being exposed. It was just that he considered the things that he wanted to ask next. He might not get a clear answer because of Adam's death … He was a little hesitant.
Because …
He could almost be considered as the enemy who killed his son. Even if the other party didn't say a word until he died due to hatred, it would be normal …
"Although it's a pity, Adam is indeed dead …"
Under the man's gaze, Liu Xiaojiang changed back to his original appearance. Then, he said slowly with a calm expression.
"But, speaking of this matter, you don't seem to be young anymore, but you still maintain such a youthful appearance …"
"And …"
At this point.
Liu Xiaojiang's pupils instantly flashed with a glimmer of golden light. Looking at the young man in a suit, he couldn't help but gradually narrow his eyes.
"I see …"
"You're actually not a human …"
"I haven't told anyone my name for a long time …" The man wasn't surprised that Liu Xiaojiang saw through him at a glance. Instead, he continued with an extremely calm smile.
"I'm Lucifer, just like Gabriel, a child of God … a demon."
