Chapter 364: Going To The Royal City

Poseidon’s lips trembled as he watched Watson’s actions. His expression was filled with excitement and disbelief.
As the sea folks’ Empress, she was very familiar with their records. She knew that the Sea God would have their own kingdom. It was called the Kingdom of God—it was where gods were invincible. No mortal could harm them.
The Kingdom of God’s records mentioned that they would use faith as an anchor and spells to cast barriers, use keys to open the kingdom, and send divine light down to earth. That was the same as the Kingdom of Sea that Watson created.
Unfortunately, Watson’s kingdom was not fully formed yet. It was not stable enough; it would gradually collapse. With Poseidon as the leader, the few sea folks who knew the Kingdom of God looked regretful, especially Owen. He felt a little guilty.
“What level of expertise is Watson? From the looks of it, he must have just advanced to the diamond tier. But he could grasp the divine kingdom that only the legendary gods could get? Furthermore, becoming a diamond-tier at that age is too heaven-defying. Doesn’t that mean he will become a starlight-tier elite and become a god?”
Initially, Owen felt that it was strange that there were millions of angels who believed in Watson. However, at that moment, he did not think that it was weird at all. Those angels were created by Watson, but even if they were real angels, they would probably put down their dignity to protect him when they saw a young and promising youth like Watson who had the potential to become a god.
“It’s a pity that I don’t have enough rules for now. Otherwise, I would be able to build a complete divine kingdom.”
Watson looked at the dissipating divine kingdom in front of him with some regrets. He could feel that the divine kingdom dissipated because there were not enough rules. The power of faith was the bricks of the divine kingdom, while the rules were the foundation. No matter how many bricks there were, they would just be a piece of loose sand without a structure.
“I only have hundreds of rules for now. I need to master at least tens of thousands of rules to be able to build a complete divine kingdom successfully.”
What was Watson thinking? He was somewhat impressed with the starlight-tier gods. If one wanted to enter the stars, one had to master ten thousand rules at the diamond tier. To become a diamond-tier expert was already a rare genius, and those geniuses were usually lucky enough to master two or three diamond-tier rules. If one wanted to master ten thousand rules in their lifetime and enter the starlight-tier, one had to be a genius among geniuses.
After lamenting for a while, Watson restrained the aura on his body and landed in front of the sea tribe and the angels. He waved his hand and said, “Get up.”
Watson was no different from an ordinary person. There was no trace of aura emitted from his body, but his every move was filled with affinity, making people subconsciously want to be close to him. Watson did not use his abilities, but the people who heard his words stood up spontaneously. They did not understand why they had to be so obedient toward Watson’s words.
“I have stayed here long enough. Since I have become a diamond-tier elite, I shall head to the royal city next! The rest of the work will be left to you. I hope that you will not disappoint me.”
“Please rest assured, Young Master Watson. We will not disappoint you. ”
The 100,000 angels and tens of thousands of sea creatures all responded at the same time.
Their voices reverberated in the ocean, causing the seawater to swell into massive waves.
Watson nodded in satisfaction. He took a step forward and disappeared from the spot. There was not a trace of energy fluctuation. It was as if he had entered through a crack in the rules. No one could even guess where he had gone after that step.
“That’s great. When can I enter diamond-tier?” Looking at Watson’s handsome figure, Owen’s face was filled with envy. At that moment, someone beside him pulled his arm. He turned his head and saw that the person pulling him was Alice. She was pouting.
“Uncle Owen, didn’t you say that you wanted to destroy the floating city and then tie up Brother Watson and put him in front of me, never to let him leave again? But Brother Watson still left. You lied to me.”
Alice’s words made Owen’s face reddened, and he felt a little ashamed. He had made such an oath before he attacked the floating city, but who knew that Watson was such a monster that could uproot the floating city with just a clone? He had successfully stopped the battle between them and the Ptolemy family.
So, he had not tied up Watson and put him in front of Alice. Instead, Watson had become the object of their faith, and they had become the ones who were enslaved.
“Alice, I did not lie to you. Even though I did not tie Watson up and keep him here, he has now become the god who protects us. We will have many more opportunities to meet him in the future.”
Owen comforted her. Alice knew that what he said made sense. Her lips gradually relaxed, and her expression became gentle. Her eyes never left the place where Watson had disappeared. “I wonder how long it will take for Brother Watson to go to the royal city. I really hope that he can come back soon! I can’t stay idle while I wait for Brother Watson. With the brand new elements and combat techniques, I can become stronger. As long as I become stronger, I can help my brother, and I can always be by his side.”
Alice clenched her fists as if she had made up her mind.
….
At that moment, Watson returned to his hotel in the floating city.
The city had regained its peace. The previously damaged floating city buildings had been repaired, and the entire city looked as if nothing had happened.
“Honorable Young Master Watson, that is the Severed Fingers Gang’s property in the floating city. Those are their remaining nine leaders.”
As soon as they entered the city, Elven walked out from the street corner and handed Watson a thick stack of documents. At the end of the papers were portraits of nine men, women, and children of different ages. Next to them was some basic information such as names, home addresses, and so on.
“You’ve helped me a lot, Elven.”
“Master, you flatter me. As your humble servant, that is what I should do.”
Elven bowed respectfully to Watson, her tone fearful.
“Next, I’ll have to trouble you to continue staying in the floating city and help supervise the Ptolemy family. At the same time, you can keep an eye on the sea folks to prevent further conflicts between the two sides.”
After memorizing the information of the nine leaders, Watson rubbed his fingers. The portraits burned into ashes, and the remaining ones were handed back to Elven.
“Please rest assured, Master. I will make a big change in those industries and strive to earn a lot of money.”
“You don’t have to earn much. Just be consistent.”
Watson gave a few instructions to Elven. He looked up and saw that Nightingale and Denise had packed up large and small packages outside the hotel. They put them on the carriage pulled by the Heaven-devouring Rat King and helped Antonio onto the carriage. During that time, Nightingale came to the front of the carriage with the reins in her hands. She turned her head and waved at Watson. “Young Master Watson, we should go.”
“Coming.”
Watson turned around and entered the carriage. Before getting into the carriage, Nightingale watched as Elven, wearing a hood and hiding her face in the shadows, left with a puzzled look. “Watson, who is that?”
“She’s one of my subordinates in the city. After all, I’ve gained a lot here. It would be a pity if I didn’t find someone to manage it,” Watson replied ambiguously. Nightingale did not ask further; she drove the carriage out of the city.
After more than a week, Watson finally left the floating city. When he was there, the city was surging with undercurrents. At that moment, everything was gone. It seemed that the river under the bridge had become much clearer.
….
At the Ptolemy’s family.
“Master Daniel, are you really not planning to return the slaves we lost in the Crystal Palace to us? Now that the Severed Fingers Gang has been destroyed, the Ptolemy family has become the rulers of the floating city. However—”
“However what?”
Daniel’s eyes flashed as he asked about the request made by the head of another family in front of him.
“It’s nothing. I don’t need the Ptolemy family to compensate me for those slaves at 50 times the original price. I only need compensation at the original price. Can the Ptolemy family do that? Master Daniel, think about it carefully. I won’t disturb you for now.” The head of the noble family also had a lot of assets in the floating city. At that moment, he patted Daniel’s shoulder, adjusted his clothes, and left with a smile.
Daniel was left sitting on the sofa. He picked up the teacup and took a sip. However, he quickly threw the teacup on the ground, revealing an uncertain expression. Compensation for the slaves? There were tens of thousands of slaves who had disappeared. According to the cost of one slave, it was the price of tens of millions of gold coins. How could the Ptolemy family afford it? “D*mn it, do those people think that the Severed Fingers Gang’s resources will belong to the Ptolemy family just because they’re gone?”
Even though the Severed Fingers were gone, Elven was still there. She even ascended to diamond-tier. Even if Daniel wanted to kill her and seize her properties, he would not be able to do so, and the sea tribe would not be able to touch her either. He had heard that the sea tribe had obtained many benefits after becoming Watson’s subordinates. The key was Watson’s strength. If he were to touch the sea tribe, it would be equivalent to offending Watson. He was courting death.
Having lost the channel to buy and sell slaves from the sea tribe, the Ptolemy family did not become stronger. Instead, they became weaker.
“Master Daniel, something terrible has happened.”
At that moment, a man dressed like a butler rushed in from outside. He knelt on the ground with a terrified expression, and his handlebar mustache trembled as he spoke.
“What happened? Did the rich and nobles in the city set up a trick to prevent our family from suppressing them, controlling the prices of goods in secret, and suppressing our family’s goods?”
“No.”
“Then did the sea tribes do something strange?”
“Not really.”
“Did something happen in the secret chamber where the Sea God’s Trident was stored, and someone had taken it?”
“No.”
The man could see that Daniel had been troubled by too many things. Daniel did not need to continue guessing. The butler swallowed his saliva and said, “It’s something related to Young Master Casey.”
“Casey? Him again. What’s wrong with him? I’ve already sent the best doctor in the city to treat him. Although his subordinates can’t fully recover, they can still recover some of their abilities. After doing so many stupid things, it’s already not bad to have such an outcome. What mistake did he make again? Did he harm another woman in the city again?” At the mention of Casey, Daniel was furious.
“Young Master Casey did not go out. This time, it’s not Young Master Casey who started anything. Someone heard that Young Master Casey saved the floating city and came here to challenge him.”
After the butler finished speaking, Daniel frowned. “Are you sure that someone wants to challenge him?”
“Yes.”
Just as the butler finished speaking, there was a commotion outside the door. Two strong men in armor were pushing and shoving the guards as they rushed into the courtyard. They shouted at the top of their lungs. “I heard that Young Master Casey was previously slandered as a good-for-nothing. When the floating city was in danger, and Young Master Casey was the first to step out and save everyone. He even fought against a platinum-tier sea folk for 300 rounds! We admire his courage. I am a swordsman from the capital. I hope that Young Master Casey can fight with me.”
“You’re right. I also admire Young Master Casey very much. As a hero, I believe that Young Master Casey will not reject our request, right?”
His companion spoke as well.
It was not uncommon for the two of them to challenge the famous heroes of the kingdom as wandering swordsmen. After all, it was difficult for wandering swordsmen even to eat before they became famous. The best way for them to become famous was to challenge the strong. If they were lucky enough to win, they would make a huge profit. Even if they could not win, they would still have the ability to boast about it no matter where they went in the future, like how they had fought with that person or how they had lasted 300 rounds with another person, and so on.
Casey had saved the floating city and displayed platinum-tier strength. He was undoubtedly an excellent target. As for Watson, who had also made a name for himself in the floating city, he would not in their consideration. The reason was simple. Casey had saved the city to obtain glory. Watson had previously elevated the city to intimidate the Ptolemy family and the sea folks, leaving a bad impression in the hearts of the residents.
“Young Master Casey, what’s wrong? Why are you ignoring us? Are you afraid?”
“If that’s the case, we can announce to the public that Young Master Casey is afraid of us and that we have won without a fight.”
The two vagrant swordsmen wanted to continue shouting, but they were held up by a few guards who could not bear to watch any longer and were ruthlessly thrown out.
Not long after that, the door to the living room was pushed open. Casey limped in with a cane and walked in with a face full of grievances.
“Father, I can’t take it anymore. I can’t stay in this city any longer. ”
A week ago, the sea tribe’s platinum-tier warrior, Jana, had crushed his private parts. He should have recovered after a week of recovery, but it turned out to be the exact opposite. During that week, many wandering warriors wanted to challenge him because they wanted to be famous. In the end, his injuries did not heal, and instead, he was beaten even more miserably by those people.
Casey did not fight or even scold them back. He hoped those people would wake up and realize that he was not the one who had saved the city, so they would not beat him up. However, a rumor circulating in the city had shocked him.
“The reason Young Master Casey did not make a move was that those people were not worthy of him. The only thing that could make Young Master Casey make a move was when the city was in crisis. He was a real hero.”
Some residents glorified him, saying that he did not make a move because he was not afraid but because he did not want to hurt those ignorant challengers. Those rumors caused many challengers to leave, but they were interested again. Many people passionately discussed the lucky person that allowed Casey to break the first rule and take action.
When he saw his son’s face full of new and old injuries, Daniel’s heart ached a little, but he asked without showing any emotion, “If you don’t want to be here, where can you go? If you’re here, you still have the protection of the Ptolemy family, so others won’t beat you up too badly. If you go to other cities, I won’t be able to protect you.”
Casey also revealed a troubled expression. That was right. If he were not in the floating city, where could he go?
Just as he was in a dilemma, Lana, who was wearing a sun hat and carrying a large box, walked into the living room. “Greetings, Father. If Second Brother is worried, why don’t he come with me? I’m preparing to go to the royal city to attend the Royal Academy’s enrollment ceremony. If he comes with me, he can also take care of me. I heard that the Royal Academy is a closed academy, so outsiders can’t enter at all. Furthermore, there are elites from all over the kingdom. Their achievements are not inferior to Second Brother. There shouldn’t be anyone who wants to challenge him there.”
“Yes, why didn’t I think of that? Father, I want to go to the royal city with Sister, but I don’t want to go to school. I just want you to find me a place to live in the academy.”
Casey’s eyes lit up. Daniel’s mouth trembled with anger. “Find you a place to live? Do you think I’m own the Royal Academy? With your behavior, it would be difficult for you to pass their entrance examination. I’ve decided that you will go to the royal city with Lana to take the entrance examination. On the way, let Lana tutor you. If you can’t get into the Royal Academy, then find a place to bury yourself. The Ptolemy family doesn’t need a good-for-nothing like you who only knows how to destroy things.”
“Why are you doing this?”
Casey’s face was filled with disappointment. He had wanted to go to the royal city to avoid the elites who had gone to the floating city because of him. He wanted to enjoy himself there. However, it seemed like his father wanted him to suffer.
That was his father’s decision, and he could not refuse.
“Second Brother, if you are ready, go pack your things. The carriage is already outside,” Lana urged. Her gaze looked through the window and saw a very distant place.
‘Watson, will you be surprised to see me in the capital?’
‘You’ve only been here for a few days, but you’ve already turned the floating city upside down. That proves that you’re an interesting person. I hope you can maintain that personality when you’re in the capital.. Don’t make me feel bored.’
