Ocean Lords: Start Harvesting Double from Dice Rolls

Chapter 576: Chapter 297: Lanyun’s Maze, One-Week Promise_3

Now, these mages have appeared in front of the Sovereign.

The Sin Domain’s former inhabitants escaping and wreaking havoc… Could it all be a drama orchestrated by Sovereign Lanyun?!

At this moment, the Sovereign gazed at the group of mages before him, then nodded slightly and softly spoke: “Thank you all for your efforts in the previous matters.”

The leading mage, adorned in the most lavish attire, stepped forward and shook his head gently: “Just alleviating the Sovereign’s worries. Our previous attack was carried out on the Sovereign’s orders, merely causing destruction without significant casualties.”

The Sovereign nodded slightly and continued: “With your cooperation, once everything settles, I will naturally grant you legal identities as per your requests, allowing you to escape the Ocean Court’s pursuit.”

“Yet, given the sensitivity of your identities recently, it’s not appropriate for you to appear publicly. I must ask you to temporarily reside in the inner halls of the parliament.”

Upon hearing Sovereign Lanyun’s words, the mages quickly bowed respectfully, and the leader nodded with a smile: “After so many years in the Sin Domain, we have long realized that the era’s transformation is irreversible.”

“In the future, rest assured Sovereign, even with legal identities, we will integrate into the Lanyun Sea Country, contributing our efforts without any desire to revive the era’s glory.”

The Sovereign smiled, saying nothing more.

Seeing this, the group understood the Sovereign’s intention to send them off and promptly departed the hall quietly, led by the Sovereign’s Personal Guard.

Leaving Sovereign Lanyun alone sitting in the hall, his entire figure gradually enveloped in shadow.

It is unclear what he is thinking.

After a while, the Sovereign’s voice echoed through the hall:

“Wang Fu, continuously report Fang Yu’s itinerary to me.”

“The bait has already been cast… It’s just a matter of when the fish will bite…”

“Yes! Sovereign!”

Though the hall clearly contained only the Sovereign’s figure, another man’s voice suddenly rang out, eerily startling.

After this voice sounded, the light in the hall seemed to flicker slightly.

Only after a while did the hall return to normal…

…

“The Sovereign certainly wishes to suppress the influence and power of the northern and southern military factions, thereby grasping actual control over both factions.”

At this moment, Fang Yu is walking on the port road where his sea ship is docked.

The Power Suppression Bracelet on his hand has been removed.

The Sovereign granted him a week of freedom to find evidence of Hua Yu’s substitution, proving a misunderstanding between the Duorong Federation and the Lanyun Sea Country.

And to demonstrate that the Sin Domain’s release was contrived by someone’s scheme.

Thus, Fang Yu was able to reclaim his sea ship.

However, despite gaining freedom, Fang Yu does not intend to flee far away during this week.

Because he cannot be sure whether the Sovereign has planted some kind of mark on him, enabling him to be found.

Before a peak captain, playing any tricks is pointless.

In the face of absolute power, even if Fang Yu escapes to the ends of the earth, he would be found and killed by Sovereign Lanyun.

Therefore… at this moment, for Fang Yu, the most crucial thing.

Is to obtain evidence and the truth of Hua Yu’s substitution.

However…

Fang Yu feels something is amiss…

If Sovereign Lanyun wishes to suppress the southern military faction, he should make a great fuss over the fact that Meng Biao once gained control over southern faction troops.

What could be more sensational than an enemy nation’s officer having controlled one’s own troops?

Merely the act of taking over and investigating would seize control over the military factions.

But just now, when mentioning this matter, Sovereign Lanyun only glanced over it, seemingly uninterested.

Furthermore, he even let the southern faction investigate the matter.

Investigating oneself, can it yield any results?

If the southern faction is allowed to continue the investigation, not only might the truth of Meng Biao’s command over the southern troops remain unrevealed, but the truth might even be entirely hidden by the southern faction, never to be uncovered.

Unless…

Hmm?

At this thought, Fang Yu suddenly paused, a ludicrous idea emerging in his mind.

Unless… what Sovereign Lanyun desires… is the obscured truth?

What… exactly does he intend to do?!
