Lou was so furious he could have coughed up blood!

He wanted nothing more than to cleave this Great White Shark in two!

Lou leaped backward, his lean, powerful Physique like that of a Leopard. The combat skills he had accumulated over countless years were magnified tenfold in this moment. Despite possessing only a third of his Strength, he brandished the military saber in his hand, clashing with the Great White Shark at Luoshua Port.

His mind was filled with a single thought—

’The little rabbit can only be mine! Mine! Mine!’

’She can only carry my cubs! My cubs! My cubs!’

Lou recalled his time in Paradise, having to fight Louis tooth and nail every day over the one and only little Spider. Fucking hell, he couldn’t even win against him. Lou felt so wronged he could have died—

’I should have been faster. The first time in Paradise—no, back when I seized control of the body in the Lost Tower on Zero Star Street—I should have gotten the little rabbit pregnant with my cub. Although, back then, I was more interested in killing her—’

’I regret it to death, you know!’

’One step late, always a step behind!’

’I should have gotten her pregnant earlier and made her exclusively mine. If not then, then I should have claimed her for my own when we first met that little turtle at the beginning of the hunting season!’

If Lou had known he would become so infatuated with this little female from the Rabbit Clan, he never would have let her go when they first met.

In the Paradise Temple, he should have pinned her down and bred her nonstop every day, making her bear at least thirty Spider cubs.

Even if the other personalities woke up—

Lou could only accept sharing the little rabbit with the other two inside his body.

But any male other than Louis and the Spider who dared to touch the little rabbit? He would be driven mad with the desire to kill them!

Like this arrogant, conceited, and smug Great White Shark—

The young man’s swordsmanship grew increasingly vicious, his moves almost too fast to see. The deafening clang of weapons erupted along the shore. The guards from the small tavern were scared to death; they never expected Louis to be so insane!

—He actually dared to provoke Lord Shen He!

Aaaah! Does he have a death wish?!

But what shocked them even more was that Louis didn’t immediately fall into a disadvantage. Instead, he was trading blow after blow with the Hai Giant Shark!

VMM! VMM!—

The military saber in his hand hummed and trembled. In the end, the ordinary blade could not withstand the Hai’s long saber and shattered with a CRASH.

The guard who had offered him the saber felt his throat tighten. He subconsciously gripped his scabbard— ’Ah, you can’t blame my blade for being no good. After all, his opponent is the Imperial Marshal. Even the most divine weapon would be nothing but scrap metal before him.’

Most importantly, this was happening on land.

If they were in the sea—

Lord Shen He’s Strength was truly impossible to estimate. This was also why the people of the Deep Sea Empire had unshakable faith that he could expand the Empire’s territory and bring eternal peace to the Sea Clan!

Lou’s saber was broken. His brow furrowed, and an irrepressible power erupted from within him. His body flipped backward, landing steadily. Louis briefly seized control of their body, but just as Lou was barely suppressed, the Spider also began to surge out frantically—

"Enough," Louis’s tone was unprecedentedly stern.

Inside him, the powers of Lou and the Spider intertwined, both attempting to seize the body and fight the Great White Shark to the death.

The crowd watched as the young man, kneeling on one knee, had pupils that flickered constantly between green and black.

His body began to tremble uncontrollably. He covered the left side of his face with one hand, and a pained expression slowly crept over Louis’s face.

His singular rationality was desperately trying to suppress the two frenzied personalities—

Behind him, the Moon Rising Soldiers wearing Knight Alliance armor realized something. They hurried forward, knelt, and said with utmost respect, "My lord, forgive our transgression!"

With that, they pulled the young man behind the Knight Order’s lines.

Before their arrival, the Moon Rising Soldiers had received two orders—

First, to disguise themselves as Knight Alliance soldiers and assist the Knight Alliance in blocking the Great White Shark’s Tracking.

Second, to look after the Lord of Paradise and prevent him from having a mental breakdown.

Louis finally regained control of his body. He was drenched in sweat, his damp bangs clinging to his forehead. His dark eyes stared at the boots on his feet as the sounds of clashing Battle Halberds filled his ears. The battle between the Knight Legion and the Great White Shark had officially erupted...

He knew the Hai Giant Shark would not be able to pass through this, the only pursuit route.

The Knight Alliance could stop him for a time.

But what could truly keep him here...

...were the "secrets" Louis had discovered in the heart of Chelsea.

Louis had already arranged for someone to deliver a message to the Hanhai Army’s stationed warship. Before long, Shen He should receive a secret report from the sea.

He would have to go back.

Unless he was willing to accept the deaths of all the Hanhai Soldiers stationed at Black Tide Harbor.

If this matter wasn’t handled properly, allowing that group of smugglers in Chelsea to grow unchecked, the first to be affected would be the Deep Sea Empire.

Louis stood up, brushed the dust from his clothes, and walked toward the far end of the long street.

He didn’t spare the guards a single glance as he passed the small tavern.

It was as if he had never seen them before.

Inside the small tavern, the guards who had fled from Chelsea looked at each other in bewilderment. ’Louis seems so different now. But... was he hiding his true strength all along?’

’No wonder our ordinary little squad managed to escape from the heart of Chelsea!’

The youngest guard in the squad chased after him, but unfortunately, Louis’s figure was already out of sight.

The carriage continued on its way.

Finally, they reached the border of Valoran.

The air suddenly grew fresh. Yu Zhizhi lifted the curtain and saw the scenery by the roadside transform from desolate to bustling. The familiar styles of dress stirred her memories.

Geoffrey rode on horseback beside the carriage, munching on a sweet pear. "Duke," he said, "the stop is just ahead. Our steam airship is ready, and the route is completely clear. We can fly directly back to the Valoran Imperial City."

Only now, at this point, were they finally safe.

From here, they could openly switch to the airship and take the aerial route back without worrying about being ambushed along the way—

Of course, the steam airship was registered under Geoffrey’s name as a jewel merchant. No one could know that the Duke had left the Imperial City.

The greatest danger was not external, but within Valoran’s own borders.

The Duke had long been prepared.

He instructed, "You must escort Ms. Zhi Zhi safely back to the Duke Mansion."

Geoffrey swallowed his pear. "Understood!"

At an intersection, they helped Yu Zhizhi out of the carriage.

She looked in surprise at the Duke, who remained seated in the carriage with no intention of joining them. "Aren’t you coming with us?"

The Duke leaned back lazily in the carriage, his fingers rolling some dry tobacco and packing it into his pipe.

"You go on ahead. I still have some matters to attend to."

Yu Zhizhi slowly nodded. "Oh..."

Geoffrey sighed inwardly. ’The Duke must be afraid of running into trouble on the road. By splitting up, he’s making himself the target so that Ms. Zhi Zhi can return to the Imperial City safely.’

There were people up ahead to meet them. He could only hope the Duke would return safely.

Geoffrey bowed.

After bidding the Duke farewell, he left with Ms. Zhi Zhi.

Yu Zhizhi followed behind Geoffrey. The border of the Valoran Empire was bustling, and she couldn’t help but ask, "Geoffrey, are there many people from the Cat Clan in the Imperial City?"
