Ling Tian's words stunned everyone. They were a bit confused, not understanding what he meant. Little did they know, Ling Tian was about to do something astonishing.
"Ling Tian, I'll go with you!" Xuanyuan Tangfeng stepped forward.
"Count me in!" Situ Leisheng was not to be outdone.
Ling Tian shook his head. "Gentlemen, you won't be able to help. Moreover, if I were to leave alone, I could manage. But if I had to bring two more people, I wouldn't have the strength!"
Ling Tian's words were polite, but they meant that the two of them would be a burden and couldn't help at all.
Xuanyuan Tangfeng and Situ Leisheng felt very awkward. Although Ling Tian was speaking the truth, it was a very hurtful truth.
Su Dacheng turned to look at Xuanyuan Jie and Zhuge Tianji with an anxious gaze, hoping his two old partners would speak up and persuade Ling Tian.
Xuanyuan Jie sighed. "Little Su, let's respect Ling Tian's choice!"
"But..."
"There's no 'but.' Ling Tian must have his reasons for doing this. Let's respect his choice!"
Since the senior leaders had spoken, Su Dacheng could only reluctantly agree.
"Alright, Ling Tian, I'll remind you again. If things go south, retreat quickly. You must remember that many people's lives depend on you. You are a doctor, and saving lives is your primary duty!"
Ling Tian nodded. "Okay, I understand. You all should leave quickly!"
Under Han Liang's control, the yacht's engine roared, and it instantly sped away at thirty nautical miles per hour.
Ling Tian turned and headed towards the orderly zone. As he walked along the beach, he soon spotted a group of people running frantically in the distance.
Ling Tian focused his gaze and realized it was a group of people chasing a woman. Ling Tian was also familiar with this woman; it was Aurora!
It turned out that Aurora had gone to the Chinese team's encampment seeking help, but upon arrival, she found it deserted!
Aurora was momentarily lost, unsure where to go. However, she knew she had to leave quickly, as the fake Mario Cuiet would not let her go.
As expected, she soon discovered that the island's guards were searching for her. Aurora was well aware of the island's defenses, especially in the orderly zone, which was covered with surveillance, leaving no place to hide. Therefore, she could only flee towards the free zone, as it would take her a long time to recover her powers.
But she was soon discovered, and the guards relentlessly pursued her. Just as Aurora was falling into despair, she was surprised to see Ling Tian.
Ling Tian did not dodge but ran directly towards Aurora.
"Hurry, Mr. Ling Tian, they want to catch me!"
"Don't worry, Miss Aurora, leave these people to me! With me here, they won't dare to do anything to you!"
Ling Tian strode forward, facing the guards. Soon, the guards also saw Ling Tian. Their leader was someone Ling Tian knew, the guard named Royce.
"Stop!" Ling Tian shouted. His shout was effective; all the guards stopped obediently.
On Hell Paradise Island, Ling Tian was now a legend!
According to statistics, the number of people who had died by his hand had long exceeded a hundred. Furthermore, rumors outside exaggerated, with some saying Ling Tian had achieved a thousand kills! Especially his bizarre methods on the arena that day had left a very deep impression on everyone. These guards were merely employees; they didn't want to risk their lives.
Royce stepped forward, saying somewhat awkwardly, "Mr. Ling Tian, we are carrying out Mr. Mario Cuiet's orders. Please do not interfere with our actions! You are a guest on the island, and you must also abide by the island's laws!"
Ling Tian sneered. "Is harming Miss Aurora also part of your island's laws?"
"Miss Aurora was instigated by someone and attacked Mr. Mario Cuiet. Such an act is unforgivable! We just want to escort Miss back for an investigation and to reveal who instigated her!"
"Heh, there's no need for such trouble. If Miss Aurora has an accomplice, that person is me! If you want to capture Miss Aurora, it's not impossible, as long as you defeat me!"
Hearing Ling Tian say this, Royce was completely disheartened. Ling Tian was not someone who could be easily defeated! Although he had more than a dozen men, if Ling Tian went berserk, his men would suffer heavy casualties. As mentioned before, although they were island guards, they were just employees, not loyal servants of Mario Cuiet.
"Mr. Ling Tian, you must understand that your actions will not only affect you but also bring trouble to your Chinese team! I think you should consider carefully. Even if you don't consider yourself, you should consider your compatriots."
"Haha, are you threatening me?" Ling Tian looked at Royce with a playful gaze.
"You can understand it that way!"
"My compatriots have already left Hell Paradise Island. What can you do to them?"
Royce was somewhat incredulous upon hearing Ling Tian's words.
"How is that possible? It's impossible! All the boats on the island have been destroyed, unless you swam away from Hell Paradise Island."
"Believe it or not, you can search the island. If you can find my compatriots, I lose!"
Royce's expression was filled with surprise and uncertainty. He didn't know what to do. He had thought of threatening Ling Tian with the safety of his compatriots, but now that trump card was gone.
"Royce, we've had a good relationship during our time on the island, so I don't want to lay a hand on you. But don't force me! I have a bad temper, and when I get angry, I like to cremate people."
As he spoke, Ling Tian raised his right hand, and one fire ball after another emerged from his hand, then circled above his head. Soon, twenty fire balls floated in the air, a spectacular sight. The guards on the island were also esper users with rich combat experience, and they could sense the immense energy contained within these fire balls and the danger they were about to face!
"Mr. Royce, you have 10 seconds to decide your fate. It's time for you to make a choice!" Ling Tian said this with a smile on his face, appearing calm and composed, but Royce knew very well that if he refused, these fire balls would all rain down on him and his companions!
