Chapter 713

"In short."

"Don't just say me—even if Father the King were here, facing that person, he wouldn't dare put on any royal airs, but would treat them with sincerity."

"Just from this, you can imagine how exalted that person's status is."

Bruce continued speaking.

He was afraid his younger brother and sister might provoke that person…

He had to emphasize again and again: "When we meet them, don't you dare anger that person. Otherwise, even I can't protect you."

"Even."

"Even if Father himself arrives, that person might still not give him the slightest respect."

"Don't think that because you're prince and princess, you can look down on everyone and ignore the whole world. This sea is vast and immense."

"There are many people we cannot afford to provoke."

"Otherwise, we'll be facing disaster."

"The person we're now welcoming is precisely a terrifying entity we absolutely must not provoke!"

"Remember this clearly!"

As soon as these words ended.

Whether it was Nalisi or Jiake, their hearts were deeply moved.

"Even if Father himself arrives…"

"Dare not put on any airs before that person?"

"Is that person really this terrifying?"

The two exchanged glances, revealing their inner shock.

Huh!

They let out a heavy breath,

and nodded solemnly, heartily understanding: "Third Brother, rest assured—we won't provoke that person at all. You needn't worry."

A being who could earn such a high evaluation from Third Brother was certainly not one they could lightly provoke.

Gradually.

During their wait.

Ahead, the endless sea.

Suddenly appeared a small sailboat.

The sailboat sailed toward them,

approaching the edge of the harbor shore.

The current drifted, spreading ripples.

Splash!

Waves crashed against the coastal rocks, producing a crisp, pleasant sound.

At the same time.

When Bruce saw the sailboat approaching, his face lit up with joy.

"Here it comes!"

He took a deep breath and solemnly warned, "He's here!"

Turning his head,

he gazed at all the guards and servants behind him, and began issuing orders with grave seriousness.

"Listen carefully."

"Next…"

"Get ready to receive that person with the utmost solemnity!"

"Remember!"

"Under no circumstances may you be negligent! Or disrespectful!"

"I want you to welcome that person with the highest royal protocol of the Gaoa Kingdom!"

Before all eyes.

It was seen that,

The small sailboat gradually neared the harbor shore.

Finally—

The sailboat docked at the shore's edge.

From the deck,

A young figure clad in a Navy Justice coat leapt down.

As his feet landed steadily,

Lu En slowly raised his head, gazing with a strange expression at the group of strangers at the harbor.

Correct!

The one who sailed the sailboat to the harbor right now was Lu En!

Seeing this group of strangers solemnly welcoming some great figure, Lu En couldn't help shaking his head.

It must be…

Pure coincidence—he'd happened to arrive just as some great figure was returning.

"Such a grand reception?"

"Who could they possibly be welcoming?"

Lu En pondered silently.

Having just landed ashore, his heart burned with longing to return home, so he did not linger long at the port.

No matter who these people were welcoming, it had little to do with him.

Thus,

With this thought in mind, he took a step, preparing to leave the shore.

But just then.

What Lu En did not "one-one-three" expect was…

The moment he took a step, hundreds of pairs of eyes locked onto him at once.

Pairs of eyes filled with awe, unease, and restraint all fixed upon him simultaneously.

Instantly,

His steps came to a sudden, jarring halt, and he could not help but pause.

Immediately after,

Before Lu En could speak,

A thunderous voice rang out, echoing through the heavens.

"Welcome, my lord, back home!"

The voice boomed,

Resounding in all directions.

Everyone present bowed deeply, gazing toward Lu En.

Seeing this,

Lu En was stunned.

So…

These people were welcoming… him?!"

He had not anticipated this at all.

"Could it be…"

"Did my cheap old man overthrow another kingdom?"

"Are these people, sent by that kingdom, here to thank me?"
