If you traveled back to ancient times, while others ate Guanyin clay, you would actually have giant

Zhou Wu was now fairly certain that the old man hadn't come to seek revenge; otherwise, given the old man's methods, Zhou Wu wouldn't have had any chance of winning.

"Old man, what brings you here? I don't believe you just came to see me."

Now that he was no longer in mortal danger, Zhou Wu became bolder.

"Not completely stupid."

The old man was utterly despicable, but Zhou Wu could only endure it, since he couldn't beat him.

"Hehe, you're right."

Faced with absolute power, Zhou Wu could only grovel and endure humiliation to survive.

"I got tired of staying on the island, so I came out for a stroll. But I've heard so much about you, so I was curious and came to see for myself."

"Oh, so are you planning to stay on the island permanently or just visit for a while?"

Zhou Wu is now worried that the old man might stay in the South China Sea and never leave, which would be troublesome.

"Of course we should have some sightseeing."

“YES~~”

"However, if it's fun, I wouldn't rule out staying there permanently."

"Depend on."

"Just arrange a place for me to stay, don't worry about the rest, I'll take care of it myself."

"Oh~"

. . . . . . . .

The old man was quite strange. Zhou Wu arranged a courtyard for him, and after the old man moved in, he really didn't cause any trouble for Zhou Wu.

However, Zhou Wu still arranged for people to keep a close watch on the old man from a distance. After all, it was better to be cautious with such a time bomb by your side.

"Sir, is this old man really that powerful?"

Zhou Wu summoned all the senior executives. He still felt it necessary to tell everyone about the old man's situation so that they would be careful and avoid getting into trouble later.

Niu Er felt that Zhou Wu had gone too far. An old man, no matter how strong, was already starting to deteriorate. How could he defeat a strong man?

"You can shatter a distant lantern into pieces with a single wave of your hand?"

Zhou Wu simply recounted what had happened that day, which made Niu Er even less credulous.

"Brother, are you kidding me? How could that be? Have you been listening to too many storytellers?"

“Niu Er, the master may not be exaggerating.”

Just when everyone was doubting Zhou Wu's words, Madam Lin expressed a different opinion.

"Lady Lin, what do you mean?"

“Back when I was still in the pirate crew, I heard the older generation of pirates say that they had once visited a mysterious island near the South China Sea. It was full of cultivators, each with supernatural abilities, capable of flying and taking things from a distance.”

"Really? Could it be the Island of Immortals?"

"Everyone should be careful. We should try to avoid provoking this kind of person and instead befriend them."

Lin Niangzi had heard about it before, and combined with what Zhou Wu said, this old man must be from that mysterious island, so she still advised everyone to be careful.

"Alright, whether it's true or not, the old man's skills are definitely superior to everyone here. Let's not provoke him. If the old man behaves himself, that's fine, but if he goes too far, we musketeers aren't pushovers either."

Zhou Wu made the final decision and immediately expressed his opinion.

"Yes~"

"Yes~~"

. . . . . . .

Over the next few days, the people monitoring the old man reported from time to time that he was indeed wandering around every day without any unusual behavior.

This put Zhou Wu at ease, since it was best to remain peaceful.

"Then let's just ignore it. We can't keep focusing on this forever."

After listening to his subordinate's report, Zhou Wu said calmly.

Then he waved his hand, signaling his subordinates to continue monitoring, while Zhou Wu himself devoted himself wholeheartedly to the construction of the new city.

Just as everything in the South China Sea was returning to normal, two uninvited guests arrived at the South China Sea port.

“George, do we really need to come all this way to deal with a yellow-skinned monkey?”

Because of the opening of maritime trade in the South China Sea, there are many foreigners in the South China Sea, so the two people did not attract anyone's attention after disembarking.

"Damn it, Robert, can't you keep your voice down? How do you know these people can understand us?"

The two tall, handsome men, one blond and the other brown, were none other than the famous Shichibukai of the Sea, the Cross Pirates.

Not long ago, a large number of warships entered Southeast Asia, and it was they who slaughtered the Ruan brothers, the second-ranked of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

It's unclear what their purpose is in coming to the South China Sea this time, but their appearance is clearly not a good thing.

“George, your worries are really unnecessary. These yellow-skinned monkeys can understand the great English? What a joke. I heard they still eat with two twigs.”

"You'd better shut your stinking mouth. If you ruin the commander's plans because of your foul mouth, you'll be in for a world of hurt when you get back."

Robert only calmed down after George brought out the commander.

"We've finally managed to get out of here, let's stay and enjoy ourselves for a couple more days."

George seemed moved by Robert's words. Reflecting on the dullness and boredom of the base camp, this place did indeed seem much more colorful.

The streets on both sides are lined with shops and goods, and street vendors sell all kinds of delicious food and snacks. Of course, there are also beautiful girls. Although the yellow-skinned monkeys don't like the look of them, the girls have a gentleness and charm that is different from European women.

"However, the commander's mission cannot be delayed."

"Oh, okay, George, we've come all this way, let's have a couple more days of fun. As long as we get the group leader's business settled in the end, he won't mind."

Robert had been working with George for many years, so they knew each other very well. George had been speaking incoherently, which was a sign that he was hesitant. So George immediately pulled him to go to some fun places in the city.

Somewhere in Europe.

In a castle by the sea, John, the captain of the Cross Pirates, was standing at the highest point of the castle, looking down at the dozens of large warships docked on the sea pier. If Zhou Wu were here, he would definitely recognize these warships as the Raven-class ships that he had captured in Fusang.

However, the number here already far exceeds the number of warships in Zhou Wu's possession.

"Commander, the sales of our Raven-class warships still can't compare to the sales of the Great Dragon's Bull Demon King-class."

The secretary beside him flipped through the ledger in her hand, then said somewhat uneasily.

"why?"

John remained standing by the window, gazing at the dock, his emotions completely unmoved.

"Commander, my analysis is that it might still be a cost issue. Our Raven-class is half a level lower in overall performance than the Great Dragon's Bull Demon King, but its selling price is almost one-third higher. Normal people would probably choose the Bull Demon King. So far, the only person who has purchased the Raven-class is Su Yuan from Fusang, because he has a grudge against the Great Dragon, so he has no way to purchase the Bull Demon King."

"What Da Long is wearing."

"Dalong's ships are now being purchased not only by Dalong itself, but also by people throughout Southeast Asia. Many middlemen even sail these ships to Europe to sell them, because of their excellent performance, they are in high demand and short supply in Europe."

Upon hearing this, a murderous glint flashed across John's sinister face.
