Time Travel: Age of Discovery

With his brows slightly furrowed, Teya vaguely sensed that the other party seemed to have some intention. Was he trying to force him to stay?

"Please stay, Your Excellency Carlos." Adilheid also stood up, his expression more serious than before. "I still hope you will reconsider. Perhaps all your requests will be granted."

Who would believe such vague words?

Teya turned his back to Adilheid and couldn't help but sneer to himself.

"All I ever wanted was adventure and freedom, and fortunately, I now have both."

"Wouldn't it be a greater adventure to join a pirate group and venture into the new world?"

Teya was startled when he heard this, and turned to look at the other party with a thoughtful look on his face.

Seeing Teya's reaction, Adilheid felt a glimmer of hope and continued, "If you're just looking for adventure, wouldn't it be better to join a powerful pirate group? It's better than wandering the sea alone."

It was Adilhayd's plan to secretly cooperate with the pirate group.

Ever since the incident with the "Operation Fruit," his prestige among the black market rulers has greatly decreased. After all, that incident completely shattered the already fragile relationship and alienated the World Government he relied on.

Although the black market seems scattered, in fact, each party occupies a certain area and has great power. Only the "black market auction" is spread all over the sea, widely circulated, and jointly organized by all parties.

The "Lake Bottom Dome" where Teya visited last time happened to be a private branch of a black market lord. It was like a branch of the main store, but it was responsible for its own profits and losses.

Adilheid has a cooperative relationship with the ruler of the lake bottom dome, but the "Surgery Fruit" is enough to turn allies into enemies.

He used ruthless means to drive out the arrogant "Dark Side" organization, replace it, and rearrange the situation.

Although he seemed badly damaged afterwards, Adil Haider was secretly planning his own grand plan.

That is to become the real master of the black market, unify the scattered black markets, and bring them all into one's own hands.

He used to make a living by taking on tasks for others, and his hands were already stained with blood. Until he met Betty, the trajectory of his life was rewritten.

That night, he took Betty away, and by the campfire, he wiped his sharp weapon.

Although Betty was a little afraid, she still approached and asked, "Do you have any family?"

Adil Haider glanced at Betty and said calmly, "No."

"Then I will be your family from now on."

The hand that was wiping the weapon suddenly stopped, and Adilheid's expression changed slightly. Betty did not notice, but instead told him everything that had happened to her.

Adilhaid did not interrupt and listened silently until Betty fell asleep while talking.

"Are you here to forgive me?"

Holding the cross around his neck, Adilheid looked at the sleeping Betty, sighed and shook his head.

From then on, he began to teach Betty martial arts. He didn't know how long this boy who loved to dress like a girl could stay with her, but one day, he might go on his own.

A turbulent life is difficult to sustain. Even he cannot guarantee that he will see the sun again tomorrow.

He had cruelly abandoned Betty many times, but as time went by, he could no longer bear to do it.

Betty's intrusion made his heart gradually warm.

By chance, he joined the black market with Betty and climbed up step by step to this point.

However, he realized that his ambitions went beyond that, he wanted to become the strongest.

So he secretly joined forces with the pirate group, spread spies, sold intelligence, and used every possible means, but he also established a reliable alliance network.

He gave far less than he received, and most importantly, he was the manipulator behind the scenes.

Teya glanced at the confident Adilhaid, and it seemed that the other party did not know his identity.

However, there is much more to Adilheid than this.

There are only a few pirate groups that can travel to the New World. Teya asked, and the answer was not unexpected.

"I'm sure you've heard of the Beast Pirates. To be honest, many people who come here have already become members of the Beast Pirates, and their status is quite high."

No wonder this place is like a stone lion, with people only able to enter but not exit. So that's how it is.

Teya's doubts were all dispelled, and he looked at the other party with a smile, grateful that the other party had saved him the trouble of investigating.

"However, I refuse."

Teya's answer made Adilhaid's face stiffen and his anger grew.

The atmosphere indoors was quietly solemn.

"Hahaha!"

Adil Haider suddenly laughed, patted Teya's shoulder, and his expression was no longer serious.

"I didn't expect Mr. Carlos to be so courageous and resolute. It would be inappropriate to stop him. Since that's the case, I won't force him, but..."

Letting go of Teya, Adilhaid turned around and thought for a moment, then turned to Teya again: "I have an unwelcome request, I hope you will agree to it."

Teya was quite curious: "Oh? Please tell me."

At the same time, on the hillside outside Fuxi Island, several men in black and white clothes stopped and looked at the town in the distance.

"Quickly investigate all sources of intelligence, especially the origins of the two children related to the man in the arena."

"As ordered!"

The crowd dispersed and headed towards the town.

Inside the store, Tina sat at the counter, looking after the store.

The boss took Smoker out shopping and he hasn't returned yet.

Tina originally wanted to go with them, but when she thought about what might happen if someone came to the store to shop and found that no one was there, she decided to stay and watch the store.

When she was bored, she found a book that was used as a footstool under the small cabinet next to the counter. It looked a little worn.

At first, Tina didn't pay much attention to this tattered book. After all, it was used as a stepping stone and must not be a good work. But by coincidence, she knocked the pen off the table, and when she squatted down to pick it up, she took another look at it.

This glance attracted Tina's attention to the book.

The title is covered in dust and is difficult to discern. It can only be identified by its shape, as it is covered in dust and dirt due to its age...
