Nathan Island.
In a simple square near the residential area of the islanders.
Although the people on this island did not understand Lucifer's thoughts, and had never thought of getting rid of the supervision and control that they were under, they still had some respect for Lucifer, the king who had saved all of them.
Therefore..,
After being informed that the king had something important to announce, everyone immediately put down their livelihood matters and gathered in the relatively spacious open space with doubts. Even the ordinary people who were responsible for assisting the islanders in their lives were no exception.
However..,
After counting the number of people gathered in the open space, the King that they respected the most in their hearts stood on the wooden platform and didn't say a word …
Then, just when the islanders were feeling uneasy because of the king's silence, a large amount of black smoke suddenly began to gradually pour into the open space from the surrounding jungle and quickly surrounded the islanders on the open space as soon as it appeared, slowly forming a strange scene that seemed to cover the sky and the sun.
The islanders gathered on the open space noticed the appearance of the black smoke. Facing this mysterious thing that seemed to be everywhere in all directions, they naturally understood that if this thing was something fatal, then everyone present … would have nowhere to run.
But..
Even though the islanders did not understand what the black smoke was, why the king remained silent on the high platform, and why Windsor and Charles, who were beside the king, were looking at them strangely, they did not panic at all because of the trust in their hearts.
They didn't think that the powerful and noble king would suddenly do something vicious that was disadvantageous to his own people …
So..,
As the black smoke in the distance was still slowly approaching, the crowd on the open space didn't even move. They just watched as the black smoke approached them. From time to time, they looked at the king on the platform with puzzled eyes, as if they wanted to know what was going on with their king today.
Until..
Some of the islanders couldn't hold back their curiosity, and a small number of islanders standing outside the crowd either took the initiative … or accidentally came into contact with the black smoke!
There were no screams of pain …
The islanders witnessed their companions who came into contact with the black smoke had the black smoke invading their bodies through their skin. In just a few breaths … they collapsed to the ground with ashen faces and completely lost all signs of life.
Seeing this,
The crowd on the empty ground began to panic. But more than that … they were puzzled by the King on the high platform. They couldn't understand why the King that they respected the most in their hearts suddenly wanted them to die without any warning!
"Dead! Dead? Kells and the others were killed by the black smoke! "
"Quick! Those outside, quickly retreat! Don't touch the black smoke! "
"Ugh … Daddy, I'm scared. Ugh …"
"My King! What was going on? What was this black smoke? You … What happened to you?! "
"Why? Why are you hurting your own people! King … What did we do wrong?! "
"Windsor! Charles! You … What exactly is your King trying to do? "
"My King! Answer me! Answer us! Answer your people! Why … did you do this?! "
For a moment,
The islanders who were surrounded by the black smoke on the empty ground quickly became agitated as they sensed the terror and danger of the black smoke.
Confusion, confusion, fear, anger … and questioning of the culprit kept appearing under Liu Xiaojiang's nose. He also heard the cries of some children in the crowd below.
But …
Liu Xiaojiang looked at the islanders' behavior before they died with Lucifer's face. He listened to their incomprehensible questions about their situation, but in the end, he still didn't intend to answer any of their questions.
He stood on the wooden platform and looked down at the noisy crowd below. He wouldn't be angry because of the people's curses, nor would he feel sympathy because of the children's cries, nor would he take the initiative to withdraw the steel knife on people's necks because of his soft-hearted heart.
At this moment …
Liu Xiaojiang was a cold and merciless executioner. Even if his subordinates were strangers he had never seen before, he still didn't hesitate … to play his role as a tool of the superior.
Gradually …
The noisy crowd below gradually calmed down. The corpse poison had completely enveloped everyone on the empty ground. In the end, when it was mixed with some scarlet aura and floated into the air, what was left … were thousands of lifeless corpses on the ground.
Plop …
Windsor looked at the peaceful scene below and couldn't help but kneel on the ground with a sorrowful expression. Apparently, she had overestimated her determination before she did things. She still felt sad for the deaths of the old, weak, women, and children.
"This is too much …"
Hearing this,
Charles immediately glanced at Liu Xiaojiang cautiously. When he found that Liu Xiaojiang didn't blame Windsor for her 'unintentional words', he felt slightly relieved and silently heaved a sigh of relief.
Liu Xiaojiang noticed Charles's small action, so he looked at him calmly. Then, he ignored Windsor, who was kneeling beside him, and looked at the black smoke mixed with red light above the empty ground again.
Then …
Just like when he was at Chicago's 13th Street, he slowly opened his arms with a slightly indifferent expression and retracted the special air above the empty ground into his body.
But this time …
Liu Xiaojiang didn't have an obvious improvement in his strength like before. Instead, it was like a river flowing into the sea. It was difficult to detect if there were any changes in the sea.
A moment later …
Liu Xiaojiang slowly put down his open arms, turned to look at the silent Charles beside him, and said, "Prepare the fuel for the ship.
"Prepare the fuel for the yacht. We'll leave this island now and look for the islanders who are responsible for guiding the awakened ones. While we're at it … we'll destroy the training base of these tools."
"Windsor, she …" Charles couldn't help but shiver when he saw Liu Xiaojiang's gaze. "Yes! I'll go prepare now! "
After that, regardless of Windsor's mood, as an old friend, Charles irresponsibly left the place and immediately ran back to the port to prepare the fuel needed for the ship …
After Charles left …
Liu Xiaojiang first looked at Windsor silently. Because the other party had been kneeling there and looking at the corpses below, she had no intention of leaving with him. Then, he couldn't help but take the initiative to remind her,
"Windsor, we should go …"
Hearing that …
Windsor looked back at Liu Xiaojiang, who had a calm expression, and said with lifeless eyes,
"In your eyes, aren't Charles and I the same as the corpses on the ground? We're all almost dispensable humble existences …"
"… It's time to go," Liu Xiaojiang reminded her again.
Windsor was indifferent to this. "Master, what are we …"
"After the matter is done, all of you will go back with me and eventually become my private force. And as long as you don't intend to betray me, in the future … you will regain your freedom."
"Is that so …"
"Yes, live freely like an ordinary person …"
