Chapter 276

I never expected to hear it from the Five Elders.

This sea, there are still beings they dare not provoke lightly!

Too terrifying!

It completely shatters all understanding!

"That four-year-old prodigy named Lu En…"

"What kind of terrifying background does he truly have?!"

King Rosed IV's throat tightened, his lips trembled slightly, his voice quivered.

He actually tried to recruit such a terrifying being into the Rosed Kingdom?

How absurd is that?

A being even the Five Elders dare not provoke lightly…

How could he possibly look favorably upon the Rosed Kingdom, a vassal state?!

Thinking of this,

King Rosed IV couldn't help but feel overwhelming terror and heart-pounding dread for his prior actions.

No wonder he looked down on the Rosed Kingdom…

Of course!

That four-year-old monster possesses a heavenly-level background and origins!

"If there's nothing else, then that's all."

"Let me warn you one thing…"

"Do not set your sights on that child."

"Otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable!"

Remember this!

"That child is not someone you can provoke. You, alone, are nowhere near worthy!"

Finally…

The Den Den Mushi was hung up.

King Rosed IV, clutching the Den Den Mushi, stood frozen, face pale, eyes vacant, as if his soul had been stolen.

Beside him,

the Crown Prince also wore a look of horror, stunned and terrified.

"F-Father…"

"We almost provoked an incredibly terrifying being!"

"It could bring annihilation upon the entire Rosed Kingdom."

The Crown Prince said, voice trembling.

"I know."

King Rosed IV trembled as he set down the Den Den Mushi.

A being that makes even the Five Elders fear…

What kind of terrifying background does he truly possess?!

At this moment,

after speaking with the Five Elders,

King Rosed IV's worldview had completely shattered and collapsed.

Rosed Kingdom.

Sallara City.

A tavern named Uncle Kachi's.

Ruki returned here.

Facing him…

Was still that familiar middle-aged tavern owner.

"Lord Ruki."

The tavern owner stepped forward, bowing deeply in respectful greeting.

As a peripheral member of CP, his status was naturally far lower than Ruki's.

At the very least,

Ruki was one of CP's most valued prodigies and elite!

Even though he had not fully joined CP, his status and position still dwarfed that of peripheral members by countless times.

Peripheral members of CP were like those with no combat power and no potential—those discarded after CP's brutal selection process.

"Please report to the organization that the rescue mission has been completed successfully."

Ruki spoke.

"Lord Ruki, shortly after you left, two officials from CP0 came looking for you."

The tavern owner hesitated, then chose to report the truth.

"CP0?!"

Ruki's pupils shrank slightly, his expression subtly changed.

He knew perfectly well what kind of organization CP0 was!

It was the ultimate organization he had dreamed of his entire life, yet always remained out of reach!

Unexpectedly…

A CP0 executive actually took the initiative to come find him?

Why?

Just as Rob Lucci was full of confusion.

Suddenly.

Two tall, thin men dressed in pure white clothing appeared in the tavern.

Tan En was, as always, wearing that mysterious look with a white animal mask.

These two were naturally Jorul and Lei Si.

"Rob Lucci?"

The moment he appeared, Jorul spoke to Rob Lucci.

"You two are…"

Rob Lucci's face was full of suspicion, his brows tightly knit.

Such a peculiar, mysterious outfit—across the entire sea, besides members of CP0, who else would have the qualification to wear clothing like this?

"We are the graders responsible for your assessment trial."

Lei Si, standing to the side, answered directly.

"Graders…"

"Assessment trial…"

With Rob Lucci's keen mind, he naturally quickly pieced these things together.

He took a deep breath and asked: "Then may I ask the two of you, how did I score in this assessment?"

As he spoke these words, he had not a shred of confidence in his heart.

Only because…

He knew.

This so-called assessment trial—he was purely just freeloading along!

He had won lying down for no reason at all!

If it weren't for Lu En, he might have died miserably in this trial.

"This trial, due to the appearance of irresistible, unforeseen factors…"

"Therefore, this trial does not count."

Jorul said.
