Although he didn't know what instructions Lord Zi Long had, Ye Cangtian still followed him onto the small boat.
This small boat was not large; it was the kind that fishermen usually used to go out to sea to fish.
There was a diesel engine at the stern, and its speed was no slower than those two cargo ships. They soon separated from the two cargo ships.
Only Ye Cangtian and Xuan Jiu were on the boat.
"Brother Xuan Jiu, is Lord Zi Long nearby?"
Ye Cangtian looked around. There were many small islands nearby. Some only had a few reef rocks exposed, some were as large as a football field, and some were even larger, covered with wild grass and trees.
The location of such dense small islands was also special. Slightly larger ships could easily hit hidden reefs on the seabed.
Only small fishing boats like the one they were on could freely navigate.
Xuan Jiu nodded and said, "Because the ruins are a satellite signal blind spot, Lord Zi Long has set up a base nearby for communication with the outside world."
"Then why did Lord Zi Long suddenly summon me?" Ye Cangtian probed.
"Heh, don't ask me, how would I know?"
Xuan Jiu rolled his eyes and then looked at him with a half-smile. "Don't worry, no one knows you did that!"
Ye Cangtian's body trembled, and he looked at the other person.
"What do you mean?"
"Don't pretend in front of your brother. You saved those Chinese professors and that beautiful girl, didn't you?" Xuan Jiu chuckled.
This fatty had indeed guessed it!
Ye Cangtian took a deep breath and said faintly, "So you're taking me to see Zi Long to expose me, this traitor?"
Since the other party already knew it was him, denying it was useless.
As for being exposed now, he didn't care. With his strength, it was impossible for the other party to keep him.
Ye Cangtian even had the intention of silencing him!
"Little brother Xuan Jiu, don't be so murderous, we don't need to be like that!" Xuan Jiu said with a smile, showing no concern about being silenced.
This fatty was not simple!
Ye Cangtian exhaled, then smiled easily. "It seems you and I are on the same path. Back in the meeting hall, I saw you couldn't bear to see those ordinary people. It seems you are also a traitor."
Xuan Jiu quickly waved his hand when he heard this. "Don't you dare slander me, I am loyal to the organization."
"But don't worry, I won't tell Lord Zi Long about your affairs. It has nothing to do with me anyway, so just pretend you don't know anything!"
"..." Ye Cangtian glanced at this guy.
Whether this guy was a traitor or not, he couldn't tell for sure. But the fact that he was an undercover agent was already known by the other party!
If the other party was truly from the Dark Association, wouldn't they be afraid of him escaping midway if they exposed him now?
Of course, he couldn't believe everything this fatty said!
If anything happened later, it would be best for him to escape immediately!
Ye Cangtian remained silent with a grim expression.
Xuan Jiu, however, looked relaxed and happy, gazing at the many small islands standing nearby. The beautiful scenery made him sigh with emotion, "It's better in places like this. If there were no disputes, it would be wonderful to clear a piece of land on these small islands and live a life like an immortal!"
Ye Cangtian didn't want to bother with him, but looking at this paradise-like place, he felt a sense of shared feeling!
In the future, when he got tired of life outside, he could take Tang Xinwan and find a place free from worldly disputes to live a carefree life. That seemed pretty good.
Counting the time, he had been away for almost ten days!
He wondered if that girl had been eating properly in his absence, and if she was still staying up late working every night.
While he was lost in thought, Xuan Jiu's voice came from beside him: "Little brother, we've arrived. What are you spacing out about!"
Ye Cangtian then looked around.
At this time, the small boat had already stopped by the shore. In front of them was an island of considerable size, surrounded by at least dozens of islands of various sizes. This place was the center of this archipelago.
As the two of them got off the small boat, two Yellow-level members emerged from hidden spots.
"Greetings, two stewards!"
"Yes, quickly take us to see Lord Zi Long!"
Soon, the two Yellow-level members led them into the dense jungle island. Although the island was not large, it was covered with trees everywhere, making it easy to hide.
Even with satellite observation, it was impossible to see what was inside through the dense trees!
After passing through a dense forest, they reached the center of the island. Beneath the trees, there were indeed a few bungalows, and they were guarded by Yellow-level members all around.
Entering one of the bungalows, Ye Cangtian once again saw this Earth-level powerhouse.
"My Lord!" Xuan Jiu and Ye Cangtian stepped forward.
"Mm!"
Zi Long nodded faintly and casually asked, "Have all the people been evacuated from the ruin island?"
Xuan Jiu replied, "Everyone has been evacuated, and all facilities and passages on the island have been destroyed. Except for our organization's members, all others have also been dealt with. The outside world absolutely cannot know what we are doing on the island!"
Zi Long shook his head. "It can't be kept secret! The other factions are not fools, and they can naturally guess our purpose in kidnapping scientists from various countries."
The Dark Association had always remained hidden. This time, a large number of them appeared on a small island overseas and kidnapped scientists from various countries, which was bound to arouse suspicion.
Moreover, the Chinese Dragon Group had rescued several scientists, so this ruin would naturally not be kept secret!
Xuan Jiu was stunned and subconsciously asked, "If that's the case, why did we withdraw from the island? If other factions find the entrance to the ruins, then these ruins..."
Zi Long sneered, "The ruins will take another half a year to open. Even if they find the entrance to the ruins, what of it? Moreover, this ruin is too dangerous. Wouldn't it be better to have someone share the risk for us?"
Seeing that Xuan Jiu still wanted to speak, Zi Long didn't want to discuss this matter further. He waved his hand and said, "We'll talk about this later. I summoned you two here this time because I have something for you to do!"
"Xuan Qi!"
Zi Long looked at Ye Cangtian and said with a smile, "According to the organization's regulations, for Yellow-level members to be promoted to Xuan-level stewards, two requirements must be met: first, possessing a certain level of strength; second, accumulating certain merits!"
Ye Cangtian had also heard that his promotion this time was indeed considered quite lucky, as in Zi Long's eyes, he possessed neither.
"As for strength, I will find a way to help you improve with resources. Therefore, what you need now is merit. Complete a mission for the organization!"
"Lord Zi Long, please give your orders. Your subordinate will do his best!" Ye Cangtian showed a loyal expression.
"Very good!"
Zi Long nodded, then said directly, "I order you to go to the Saudi royal family and help Prince Sam ascend to the throne!"
"..."
Ye Cangtian was stunned. The Saudi royal family? Wasn't that Hibiya's family?
Why was the Dark Association getting involved in such matters now?
