Chapter 730: Lu En: You Hurt My Brother? You

Lu En's voice rang out,

echoing in all directions.

At this moment,

Ace, under Lu En's gaze, was utterly ashamed and lowered his head in silence.

Shame!

This time, I was truly too reckless and impulsive.

Otherwise,

I wouldn't have dragged Little Lufei and Sabo into this!

Ace, who had once been entrusted by Lu En to care for Little Lufei, thought of how he had endangered Little Lufei, forcing him into entering a desperate situation and facing imminent death, and could no longer face Lu En before him.

Ace kept his head down, deeply dejected and helpless.

Even someone as proud as him had no reply to Lu En's reprimand.

After a moment,

the proud Ace opened his mouth, his voice thick with apology: "I was wrong."

With those words spoken,

Sabo beside him was stunned.

What the hell?

This guy Ace actually admitted fault?

Are you serious?

Ace, such a proud man?

How could he admit fault to someone else?

This isn't logical!

Sabo was bewildered.

Is this really the Ace I know?

Are you sure they didn't swap people?

How could Ace admit fault?

"That boy…"

"Is he really Little Lufei and Ace's older brother?"

"He even made Ace admit fault on his own!"

"That boy is truly extraordinary."

"I've never seen Ace, such a proud man, admit fault to anyone."

"This is incredibly rare."

Sabo's mind raced with thoughts.

This was the first time he'd ever seen Ace admit fault.

Considering all this,

he believed,

that Ace's voluntary admission of fault was not simply because he recognized his own mistake.

The most likely explanation was…

That boy!

That boy was the key to Ace's admission of fault.

It was clearly evident,

that the boy held immense authority in Ace's eyes.

That was why Ace had admitted fault.

If it had been anyone else, Ace's pride and self-respect would never have let him yield so easily.

"Only before that boy…"

"Ace dares not act out of line!"

Sabo's throat felt dry.

The more he thought, the more stunned he became inside.

Good grief…

What kind of deep impression had that boy left on Ace?

Even after a full year without seeing him,

Ace still held such deep respect and awe for that boy!

Unbelievable!

"It's all my fault."

"Big brother…"

"I've failed your trust."

"I'm willing to bear your punishment."

Ace, bound to an iron pillar, shouted toward Lu En hundreds of meters away.

Beside him,

Sabo seemed frozen in shock.

He turned pale with alarm.

"Wu... Wucao?!"

"Let Ace officially recognize you as big brother?"

"Really?"

"Are you insane?!"

His face was filled with shock and loss of composure.

On the other iron pillar, Little Lufei was bound as well.

Upon hearing Ace's voice, he struggled and shouted loudly: "Big brother!"

Although he had never met his big brother Lu En...

But through Ace's repeated introductions and explanations...

Little Lufei knew.

That he had another blood brother out there, roaming the open seas.

For this obscure big brother of his, Little Lufei had always felt intense curiosity.

Today, he had finally seen him as he had wished.

Hearing the voices of Ace and Little Lufei, Lu En couldn't help but smile brightly.

"Just for those two words—'big brother'..."

"I won't let you be killed by these bandits."

"Moreover."

"I will make them pay a terrible price!"

"Come to think of it, you're really weak."

"Even these worthless trash could easily capture you. You're pitifully weak."

"Next..."

"Open your eyes wide and watch how I deal with these bandits. Watch how I slaughter them all."

"Don't you dare blink!"

After withdrawing his gaze,

Lu En calmly looked at the bandit leader before him.

At this moment,

The bandit leader, long ignored, glared coldly at Lu En with fury.

As the ruler of Trash Mountain, he had never before been so utterly disregarded by anyone!

Naturally, this filled him with intense rage.

Flames of fury burned fiercely within him.

"Kid..."

"You have enormous audacity!"

"I'm standing right in front of you, and you dare ignore me?"

"Who gave you the nerve to do this?"

"Do you know what terrible fate awaits you for angering me?"

The bandit leader roared in fury.

He gripped his large cleaver tightly; the blood-stained blade radiated a sharp, lethal aura.

A powerful aura of pressure slowly emanated from his body.
