Chapter 4206 - 4225: Your Yan Country Map Isn’t That Long Either

"Lin Chen, my father is awake!"

Lin Chen was sleeping when suddenly there was a knock on his room door. Upon opening it, he saw Talina with a face full of delight.

The King Qingchuan Sea is awake?

Lin Chenxin wasn’t particularly surprised, considering that compared to the relatively simple-minded Talina and the obviously calculative Sean, the cunning old King Qingchuan Sea, who has played power games for so long, is indeed harder to deal with.

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "Isn’t this good news? How’s the recovery?"

Talina’s eyes sparkled with joy, "A bit better than originally expected; currently still holds Star Nebula Second Layer strength."

Star Nebula Second Layer?

Luo Si should be able to slap down the current King Qingchuan Sea, right?

Lin Chen quietly breathed a sigh of relief; from his perspective and interests, he does not wish for the King Qingchuan Sea to fully recover and regain complete strength.

If King Qingchuan Sea fully recovers, then in the Qingchuan Sea Territory, who else would dare to stir up trouble?

Augustus would likely be directly suppressed, and his army might entirely revolt, restoring everything to its original state, rendering Lin Chen of little value.

He’s currently only Level 9, so he needs to at least become a Nebula Martial Artist and fuse Immortal Path and martial path to discuss next steps.

"Father wants to see you."

"Alright!"

The King Qingchuan Sea recovering and wanting to see him was no surprise to Lin Chen; it was expected.

Inside the room, Lin Chen met the awakened King Qingchuan Sea.

King Qingchuan Sea Silas lay on the bed; he seemed somewhat weak, but his eyes were open, appearing deep and commanding.

Lin Chen greeted, "Hello, Mr. Silas."

Although Sean has not "restored" Lin Chen’s freedom, nominally, he already pardoned Lin Chen and Qiu Chan’s slave status, given that Lin Chen was an asset and his abilities were valuable, not to mention being a senior Federation official, unlike ordinary people.

Thus, Lin Chen naturally wouldn’t continue playing the role of a slave; who likes calling others their master every day?

Silas’s eyes lingered for two seconds on the shackle ring around Lin Chen’s neck, before a smile appeared on his face, "Lin Chen, I’ve heard about your situation from Talina; you’ve done us a great service."

Lin Chen calmly replied, "Miss Talina bought us from slave traders, helped us greatly; had we fallen into ruthless hands, it would’ve been quite troublesome."

Silas laughed softly, "I heard you saved Luo Si, a Star Nebula Sixth Layer powerhouse?"

Lin Chen nodded, "I happened to run into him during the evacuation, so I saved him."

Silas followed up, "How is Luo Si’s injury recovery?"

Lin Chen coldly chuckled inside, the dagger after poem reveal?

Your Yan Country map is a bit too short, isn’t it?

"He’s mostly recovered but needs some more time for full recovery."

Silas nodded, "What are his plans next?"

Lin Chen didn’t hide anything and told about Luo Si’s plans for revenge and intimidation; Silas’s eyes brightened, "He wants to become a Cosmic Mercenary?"

Lin Chen nodded, "Yes."

Anticipation filled Silas’s eyes, "If I finance him to follow us to Xiyue Star, would he be willing?"

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "I wouldn’t know; Mr. Silas can ask him directly later, although he might not have time temporarily. First, he needs time for injury recovery and second, he will seek revenge on Eagle Ridge to arrange a future for the people of Black Witch Territory."

Silas laughed generously, "There aren’t many people in Black Witch Territory. If Witch Star doesn’t have a suitable place for survival, they could move to Xiyue Star, where I could help care for them."

Is he helping or just coveting Luo Si’s strength?

Eric said that Silas was heavily injured; even if he recovers, his strength will decline significantly, and there’s little hope for short-term recovery.

Silas was once betrayed and stabbed during a dispute, almost dying. Now that he’s alive, if he returns to Qingchuan Sea Territory, would other Sea Kings tolerate him?

Silas’s strength is compromised, with no chance for recovery, seeking backing and assistance.

Luo Si, with Star Nebula Sixth Layer strength, is considered a powerhouse in the Magita Empire; if he agrees to help as a mercenary, Silas would have support.

Lin Chen hopes Luo Si agrees, for he’s not yet ready to leave Xiyue Star; he can remain in Qingchuan Sea Territory for a while, waiting for his next promotion.

If Luo Si truly goes to Xiyue, given Lin Chen’s life-saving deed and Luo Si’s character, surely, he’d protect Lin Chen should anything happen.

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "Mr. Silas can meet with Mr. Luo Si for detailed discussion."

Silas eyed Lin Chen, striking while the iron’s hot, "He’s in your space magic treasure, right? Is it convenient to meet now?"

"Sure!"

Lin Chen openly took out the Tao Ding, allowing Luo Si to emerge.

Luo Si appeared in the room, glanced around, and smiled, "Talina, your father is awake?"

Talina bowed slightly, "Thank you, Mr. Luo Si, for your help."

Luo Si casually waved it off, "No need to thank me; I barely escaped with my life. Eric was only saved thanks to your own abilities. Had you come later, Eric might have returned, and I might have been dead."

Silas spoke up, taking the conversation, "Mr. Luo Si, I’m Silas, one of the four great royal families of Xiyue Star, known as King Qingchuan Sea."

Though they exchanged pleasantries, it was evident that Luo Si was straightforward, disliking complex maneuvers; his words were quite lively, while Silas remained mature and stable, deeply scheming, speaking politely, one line after another.

Lin Chen slightly curled his lips; isn’t this guy supposed to be the royal head, Star Nebula Fifth Layer, yet with this tone?

Silas then mentioned taking care of Luo Si’s people, and Luo Si flat-out rejected, "No need; they’re accustomed to life here. Changing to a new place means starting from scratch; the environment is unfamiliar, and they have no kin, so they surely wouldn’t adapt."

"I’ve let them benefit from my place; if they don’t do something for me, it doesn’t sit well with me."

Silas, settling for less, inquired about the mercenary matter, and Luo Si promptly agreed, "Fighting? Sure, but I have two conditions."

Silas was overjoyed and quickly pursued, "What conditions?"

Luo Si replied, "First, the payment must be sufficient; second, it must wait until I’ve sorted out the Black Witch Territory affairs."

Silas’s eyes lit up, and he nodded eagerly, "I need some time to recover and then return to Xiyue Star; this period should suffice for Mr. Luo Si to handle his territorial matters. As for your compensation to accompany me back, you can set the price as you desire, and I will comply!"

Luo Si Haha laughed, "Deal!"
