Chapter 1047

Soon,

The phone worm was disconnected by Lu En himself.

Huh!

With the phone worm disconnected, the Navy Captain couldn't help but exhale again, raised his right arm to wipe the faint beads of sweat from his forehead, and felt the cool sensation spreading from his back.

Even through the phone worm, as he spoke with Lu En…

It still brought him an overwhelming sense of pressure!

It made his body and mind taut.

"Is this, really our Navy's first genius in history?"

The Navy Captain's eyes were filled with reverence.

Next,

He returned the phone worm to the female Navy officer beside him.

Then,

He walked into the Budeda Sect's lobby.

He ordered the female Navy officer: "Immediately assemble all Navy personnel—I have an important mission to assign."

"Yes, Captain."

Upon receiving the order, the female Navy officer immediately gathered the branch's elite Navy personnel as instructed.

Moments later,

Roughly three hundred elite Navy personnel stood before the Navy Captain.

They stood in perfect formation,

Fully equipped and ready,

Alert and spirited.

"All of you, follow me!"

At once, the Navy Captain led the group out through the Budeda Sect's main gate.

Behind him,

Over three hundred elite Navy personnel marched closely behind, with great fanfare.

Emerging from the Budeda Sect's main gate,

The group of over three hundred elite Navy personnel, led by the Navy Captain, moved with great momentum toward Lu En's designated location.

A full-fledged Navy Captain personally leading a contingent to clean up the corpses left by those villains—

Who could believe it?!

A Navy Captain going to collect corpses?

All of this, because of one sentence from Lu En!

One sentence from Lu En carried immense weight.

It compelled a Navy Captain to personally lead a mission to collect the corpses of those villains.

Meanwhile,

As all the elite Navy personnel deployed, it naturally drew the attention of every resident and visitor on the streets of Seven Water City.

They all stared at the group of elite Navy personnel with puzzled expressions.

"What happened?"

"The Navy Headquarters has deployed so many personnel at once?"

"Is something big about to happen?"

"I've never seen the Navy Headquarters make such a grand display."

"What's going on?"

Everyone was baffled.

No matter how hard they thought, they couldn't figure out a reason.

So,

They quietly, stealthily followed the Navy personnel, hoping to uncover the truth.

Half an hour later,

The Navy arrived at the destination.

Under the Navy Captain's orders,

Over three hundred elite Navy personnel quickly set to work handling the corpses scattered everywhere.

"What the hell?"

"The Captain himself leading this? I thought something huge had happened."

"Turns out…"

"He just brought us here to clean up these corpses?"

"This is such a minor task—why did the Captain need to lead us personally? What's really going on?"

One by one, the elite Navy personnel whispered among themselves, their expressions confused.

They couldn't understand it either.

Why would such a minor task warrant such serious attention from a Navy Captain?

One Navy officer who had noticed a few clues voiced his guess: "I think it's because of that call just now—the person who contacted the Captain must be some enormous figure."

"Exactly."

"Even a Captain of such high status and power was forced to personally lead us here to clear these corpses, all because of that person's command."

"Then the question arises."

"Who is this person the Colonel contacted? Who has this kind of weight? To make a full Admiral of the Navy come here personally to clean up corpses?"

Voices buzzed with speculation.

All kinds of guesses began to emerge one after another.

Someone, recalling a rumor, asked timidly in a trembling voice: "Do you think it might be General Lu En, who just arrived in our Seven Water Capital?"

As soon as the words fell.

The entire crowd fell silent.

Hisss—

A group of Navy personnel, after a brief moment of stunned silence, suddenly gasped in shock, their eyes wide, faces filled with awe.

"Come to think of it."

"Now that you mention it, I think it really might be General Lu En."

"The strongest genius in Navy history!"

"I suppose only someone of General Lu En's caliber could make the Colonel come out personally to handle these corpses?"

"That's exactly right…"

"If it's General Lu En, he certainly has the authority to command the Colonel—and the Colonel would obey without question."

"General Lu En, only five years old! Our Navy's future standard-bearer! Universally recognized as the most terrifying monster of the sea!"

"Out on the open sea, they call General Lu En the Fist Demon."

"…"

The group of Navy personnel wore expressions of awe, reverence, and admiration.

Knowing the truth, they worked even harder at their tasks.

At the same moment.

The residents who had quietly followed the Navy to investigate the truth, upon seeing the soldiers cleaning up the corpses, all showed expressions of shock.

"The Navy came here in full force just to clean up these corpses?"

"But…"

"Don't you think a few of these corpses look oddly familiar?"

"I remember now!"

"Aren't these guys the notorious villains of our Seven Water Capital?"
