“It depends on my mood.”

Watson snorted, stood up, and walked out. Elena and the other two followed him, encompassing Alice in the middle as if they were afraid she would run away. They walked out together with the hundreds of slaves that Watson had bought.

The auctioneer did not feel angry at Watson’s arrogance. Instead, he looked around as if it was normal.

“Dear esteemed guests, I’m very sorry, but that auction has ended. I hope that everyone can leave this place in an orderly manner and come back again next time.”

He planned to wait for Watson to leave before clearing that place and handing the statue of the goddess of misfortune to the higher-ups. Perhaps the higher-ups from the Severed Fingers Gang would see the platinum-tier items he had paid and would be so happy that they rewarded him with tens of thousands of gold coins or even gave him a promotion and a raise. The auctioneer’s eyes lit up, and he began to fantasize about his beautiful future.

The wealthy people on the scene stood up and looked at each other with strange expressions. They did not feel sorry or sad because they did not get the item.

They learned an important piece of news—the Ptolemy family had come for the mermaid princess time, and they were willing to fork out tens of millions of gold coins for her, and their second young master was not so cowardly.

“It seems that we have underestimated the Ptolemy family’s second young master. He is not a coward, and he is also very good at planning. His strength is not weak either. At the very least, he is not an ordinary person who can conjure gold coins out of thin air. He must be a powerful mage.”

“Previously, everyone in the floating city felt that the eldest young master would inherit the Ptolemy family. Therefore, many people turned to Mike, and many of them were my friends! Now it seems like Casey is just hiding his true self. I want to tell my friends about this so that they can choose their side carefully.”

The Ptolemy family did not hand over such an important matter to the eldest young master, Mike. They had chosen Casey instead. The reason for that was very intriguing.

No matter what, Casey was in the limelight; many people had seen him. Perhaps that news would spread throughout the floating city, renewing everyone’s impression of that useless young master.

Watson had already arrived at a spacious street outside the Iris Flower Tavern; he was unaware of what the wealthy people in the auction house had thought about the matter.

“Elena, I did not disappoint you. I helped you rescue Alice. Now you are free to go.”

“Thank you, Young Master Casey.”

Elena and the other two thanked him excitedly. If it were not for the people coming and going, they would have knelt and bowed to Watson.

If it were not for Watson, they would not have been able to save Alice. That was their first reaction after entering the auction house. In terms of wealth, they were inferior to the rich people there. In terms of strength, they would not have been able to rescue Alice out in front of everyone. Many of the staff members there were gold-tier elites.

“You’re welcome. This isn’t a safe place either. You guys should leave.”

Watson shook his head and was about to say something when a cold hand gently grabbed his shoulder. He subconsciously turned his head and realized that it was the youngest mermaid.

The mermaid stared at him with her big round eyes. The corners of her mouth curled up slightly. “Brother Watson, thank you for everything you’ve done for me. This is the second time you’ve saved me.”

“You know who I am?”

Watson was a little stunned.

“Yes, when I was locked in the fish tank and transported to the stage, I heard your voice and knew that you were here. Your voice is different from others—it has a special charm to it. Every mermaid is an expert singer, so I can hear the difference! After seeing Sister Elena, I am even more certain that you are Brother Watson.”

The sea folks generally hated humans, especially Elena and the others. The humans had captured and sold their people; their hatred toward humans was deep-rooted. It was impossible for them to travel with a stranger, let alone a human who had captured them before.

“Alice, I did not expect you to be so smart. I had no choice but to look like that. I hope you won’t tell anyone.”

Watson gave her a silent look, and Alice immediately understood. She tightened her grip on his shoulder, and the smile on her face became even sweeter.

“Young Master Casey, what do you plan to do with those slaves?”

Elena interrupted the conversation between Alice and Watson, pointing at the group of numb-looking slaves behind her.

“If we release them, they will be captured again if they are still in the floating city. We might as well solve the problem now! Elena, please send them away. If any of them are unwilling to live with the sea tribes, send them out of the city. As for where they will go after that, it’s up to them.”

“Young Master Casey, are you serious?”

Elena and the slaves were shocked when they heard Watson’s words. As slaves. They had heard of Casey. They had thought that he bought them because he wanted to torture them twice as much to earn back the money he had spent on them. They were still worried about their fate. Unexpectedly, Young Master Casey had decided to let them go.

“When have I ever lied to you? Leave before I change my mind.”

Watson’s expression was calm. He was still Casey, and those slaves were his property. No one would stop them from leaving the city.

“I understand, Young Master Casey. Later, I will ask those people for their opinions. I will see who is willing to leave with us. If they agree, I will bring them to the sea so that they will not be harmed by humans again.”

Elena glanced at the slaves with a pitying gaze. After being a slave for so long, they were touched when they heard that someone had allowed them to be free. How hateful were those people who imprisoned those girls!

“Speaking of the sea, Young Master Casey, the two people who were bidding against you at the auction, they are—”

Whoosh!

Before Elena could finish her words, a piercing sound rang out. Then, a sky-blue arrow condensed from water elements flew out from the air and flew straight toward Watson’s chest. The arrow had yet to touch his body when the powerful force created a ravine on the ground, causing gravel to fly everywhere.

Watson frowned and stomped his feet. Immediately, a fire-elemental law domain appeared beneath his feet. A flaming volcano erupted like a mountain, forming a wall of fire around him. The wall of fire and the water arrow collided, canceling each other until only a wisp of white smoke remained.

“Who is so bold to attack the Crystal Palace?”

The passersby screamed as they fled. As they ran, they looked around them angrily. The Crystal Palace had a rule about grudges—they were not allowed to attack there. Otherwise, they would face the combined pursuit of the Ptolemy family and the Severed Fingers Gang. The Crystal Palace was a place for entertainment and was also the primary source of funds for the various factions; they knew that a stable environment was more conducive to development.

While everyone was searching, the attacker soon revealed himself. It was a burly man in a black robe. He was holding a longbow made of water, and the bowstring was still trembling. Obviously, he was the one who shot that arrow.

“A law domain? I can’t believe it! So many people had criticized the Ptolemy family; they said that the second young master was not even an iron-tier elite. Yet, he is actually a platinum-tier warrior!” The burly man spoke with great interest. Three water arrows appeared in his right hand again, and he placed them on the bowstring.

The three water arrows shot toward Watson at the same time. The three arrows fused in mid-air, turning into a long, thick blue whale that spanned dozens of meters. It raised its head and roared, swinging its tail as it smashed down toward Watson.

The houses along the way were relatively close to each other. The roofs were overturned by the blue whale made of water elements. The ground where the whale passed by had collapsed. Waves shot out from the ground, converging into an ocean in mid-air as similar blue whales appeared in the water, one after another. The passersby on both sides of the road were terrified. Then, they covered their mouths and noses. The anti-gravity force on their clothes rose, and they could not breathe.

In just an instant, the ground had turned into an ocean, making people feel as if they were in the middle of a storm and a whirlpool.

“Platinum-tier secret skill of the sea tribe, Sea Spirit’s Breath.”

The man with the bow released a violent aura from his body. It blew the hood off his head, revealing a man with a rugged appearance and blue curly hair. Two teardrop-shaped gems were hanging on the man’s ears, and there were three white wave-shaped tattoos on his face. He looked very rough.

The most surprising thing was the aura on that man’s body. It was the kind of aura that only platinum-tier elites would have. The space around the man was the most viscous area of the sea—bubbles rose and twisted.

“It’s the sea tribe; he’s from a sea tribe elite!”

Some of the people recognized the man and wanted to speak. However, the moment they opened their mouths, a mouthful of seawater poured and stopped their words.

With the burly man’s feet as the center, the seawater shot out from the ground and spread in all directions. The water was too fast. Initially, the Crystal Palace had used the power from the sea god’s trident to form a waterless land. At that moment, because of the burly man, that dry land was like a balloon filled with water.

The crowd was at a loss because of the rapidly spreading water flow, not to mention Watson, who was at the center of the attack. The blue whales formed were rushing in his direction; the impact of each of those whales was not weaker than a landslide. Hundreds of blue whales rushed toward him, and even more so when he was in the water. An invisible vortex had already wrapped around his arm.

The only ones who could move freely in the water were Alice, Elena, and the other sea folks. However, they were also anxious at that moment.

“No, Lord Owen! That is not the real Casey! He was the one who saved us. His name is Watson!”

Elena shouted in her native sea tribe language. Her voice was transmitted toward the burly man named Owen. The sea tribe language could be spoken in the water because it was used in such situations.

“What did you say?”

The burly man’s expression changed. He wanted to stop, but his speed was too fast and fierce. He could not stop.. He could only watch as hundreds of giant blue whales stacked on top of each other and swallowed Watson.
