The boss of a foreign organization called the police, claiming that he was defrauded by me

The fact that the Great Zhou Dynasty opened this place might mean they're hiding in the shadows, waiting to expose their true colors.

Therefore, you must not reveal your intentions until you are absolutely certain.

Tiffany understood Jesse's thoughts and said, "Lord Jesse, please rest assured. I reckon there are definitely people who are more impatient than us and will go directly to cause trouble for the Great Zhou Dynasty."

Those people were standing not far away, and Tiffany could hear their conversation clearly.

To cause trouble for the Great Zhou Dynasty at this time is simply courting death, like offering your neck to be chopped off.

They would never do something so foolish.

In addition to people from their own country, people from India also came here.

They scoffed at the state of development here.

“Everyone says this place is so powerful, but in my opinion, it’s nothing special. It seems the rumors are indeed unreliable!” one of them said.

"I think the adults are right. This place isn't much better than our country. I really don't know why the king sent us here."

“You fools, you have no idea what the king means. He sent us to this country not only to assess their strength, but also to teach us something. And it’s not just people from our country who are here, there are people from other countries as well.”

The person speaking was very tall, nearly two meters.

A pair of dark eyes swept across the crowd and immediately identified those who were not ordinary people.

There are not only military personnel here, but also powerful mercenaries mixed in, all disguised as ordinary civilians to hide their identities.

Their only goal was to seize this opportunity and enter the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Galawa didn't know what these people's motives were, but it suddenly occurred to him that the fact that the tickets sold out as soon as they went on sale was likely related to these people.

Ordinary people can't compete with these people. The tickets were sold out in just a few seconds. He doesn't believe that there were no special methods involved.

Galawa quickly looked away; he had come on the king's orders.

Send him to investigate the Great Zhou Dynasty, and if possible, try to be on good terms with them.

Even if that's not possible, try not to become enemies with them, and try to learn their advanced technologies and bring them back to your own country to implement them.

This is a very difficult task, and he may not be able to handle it.

But now that he had accepted the task, he would do his best to complete it, and he could not bring shame to the country, nor could he disappoint the king.

Galawa instructed the people around him, "I've heard that the King of the Great Zhou Dynasty is an easy-going young man. We haven't found out what he likes yet. So once we're inside, you should observe him closely and try not to make enemies with the people there."

That's what he thought, but his subordinates didn't think so.

“I don’t think we need to be so careful. He’s not as powerful as we think. Why give him face?” Diva said dismissively.

Diva is also considered the captain here, so Galava can't make all the decisions.

He also has a say here.

There is a personal grudge between the two; Galawa's current wife was once Diwa's girlfriend.

However, the two had to break up for various reasons. Now, she is not only Galawa's wife, but also has given birth to his adorable twin sons.

When Diva learned of this, he was so angry that he smashed everything in his house. From then on, the two became enemies and could not get along with each other in anything.

Unfortunately, this mission put them together.

Therefore, when Galawa was assigning tasks, Diwa was unwilling to follow his orders at all.

Not only that, Diwa also started fanning the flames, accusing Galawa of being too cowardly and unfit to lead the mission.

“If you continue to be so timid, then you are not qualified to lead us. We haven’t even set foot on the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty yet, and you’re already so scared. What qualifications do you have to lead us?” Diva seized the opportunity to stir up trouble, trying to incite the people around him not to follow Galava’s arrangements.

Galawa naturally understood Diwa's intentions. He said, "Don't try to provoke me here, and don't stir up trouble. I hope that everyone can prioritize the overall situation during this mission and not let personal grudges get involved."

Galawa was determined to prioritize national affairs and would never put his compatriots in danger because of personal grievances.

Kediva ignored his explanation and retorted, "Don't spout nonsense. I'm just saying this because I think you're too cowardly."

Galawa was so angry that he grabbed Diva by the collar, wanting to give him a good beating, but he managed to suppress his anger and said, "You'd better not cause any more trouble here. If something really happens, none of us can afford to take responsibility."

"What do you mean by that?" Diva felt that Galawa was threatening him.

"The king gave us instructions when we came: if we reveal our identities and do anything detrimental to the country, we can forget about going back."

In other words, once they lose their usefulness, they will be ruthlessly abandoned by the state.

One can only imagine the difficulties a person facing abroad who cannot return home. If they were to encounter an enemy, they might not even be able to save their life, let alone deal with trivial personal grudges.

Hearing this, Diva gradually regained his composure. Seeing that Galava didn't seem to be lying, he said, "Alright, I'll cooperate with you once we're inside. But after the mission is complete, I want to fight you one-on-one and rightfully reclaim my happiness."

"Stop daydreaming. You were the one who gave her up in the first place. Don't you find it ridiculous that you're bringing this up now?" Galawa rolled his eyes at Diva, not wanting to waste any more time on such an unreasonable person. He needed to get ready quickly.

Meanwhile, in another corner, Su Liang gazed into the distance, his heart filled with anxiety, feeling that the short half hour had passed by in an incredibly long time.

Hunter and his family were also waiting anxiously.

Just as everyone was discussing this, a loud bang suddenly came from afar.

Everyone's attention was instantly drawn to it, as a Jiaolong warship was sailing towards them.

The size of this Jiaolong ship far exceeded their expectations.

Those who had previously looked down on the Great Zhou Dynasty were stunned by the scene before them, and it took them a while to recover.

Diva's face turned bright red, as if he had been slapped hard across the face. His words just now seemed incredibly embarrassing.

He always thought his country was powerful enough that he didn't need to take the small Zhou Dynasty seriously.

But now, seeing the Jiaolong ship sent by the other side to pick him up, he realized how naive and ridiculous his idea was.

He felt utterly stupid to have even considered such a foolish idea. Looking at Diva's speechless expression, Galawa knew he was stunned by the scene before him.

In fact, wasn't he the same? Seeing such a huge dragon ship, decorated in a magnificent manner, even the beads inlaid on the outside were huge luminous pearls, emitting a dazzling light.

He couldn't describe his feelings at that moment, only that his country was far inferior to the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Perhaps by infiltrating the Great Zhou Dynasty this time, he can obtain more valuable information. If he can figure out how the other side developed their country into such a powerful nation in such a short time, maybe his own country can catch up.

Thinking of this, Galawa was filled with excitement, and suddenly felt an even heavier responsibility on his shoulders.

Li Minghao, Zhou Yang's henchman, was so excited that he was gesturing wildly and didn't know how to express his feelings.

"Big brother, this is so cool! This Jiaolong ship is absolutely amazing!" Li Minghao looked at the lifelike Jiaolong ship, feeling as if it would come to life at any moment. Such a massive ship, quietly resting on the sea, could probably fit all the people here on board without any problem.

Zhou Yang said calmly, "The Great Zhou Dynasty has many things that will amaze you. Don't act like you've never seen the world before. After all, you're still my little brother."

Li Minghao scratched his head sheepishly. To say he was naive wouldn't be an exaggeration. He had seen it all when he was out in the world.

Seeing such a massive Jiaolong ship still filled him with excitement. The fact that it was so luxurious just to pick them up made it hard to imagine how prosperous the Great Zhou Dynasty must be.

"This is just the tip of the iceberg. Once you come inside with me, you'll see what it means to have your eyes opened."

Zhou Yang enjoyed seeing their naive and unsophisticated appearance.

However, the main purpose of this trip back was to show them the magnificent scenery of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Li Minghao grinned and turned to his group of underlings, saying, "Did you all hear what your boss just said? When you go inside, behave yourselves. Don't act like you've never seen anything like this before, or you'll embarrass us."

The underlings behind him nodded repeatedly, but in reality, their minds were entirely on the Jiaolong ship that was gradually approaching in the distance. They didn't take Li Minghao's words to heart at all; they just let them go in one ear and out the other.

Zhou Yang continued, "I will take you to tour the sights of the Great Zhou Dynasty, but before we go, I must give you a heads-up. Once inside, no one is allowed to cause trouble. The rules there are very strict, and you mustn't have any ulterior motives."

Although we're all like brothers and know each other's personalities, he's the one who brought the person in, so there are some things that need to be made clear beforehand.

If something goes wrong and we can't even find someone to take responsibility, that would be a real problem.

Li Minghao patted his chest and solemnly promised, "Big brother, you can rest assured! I guarantee that once these little brothers are inside, they'll all behave themselves, as obedient as little mice. If anything happens, I'll take them and leave immediately."

They went in just to see the scenery and appreciate the grandeur of the Great Zhou Dynasty; they never intended to cause trouble inside.

Moreover, they don't have the guts right now; they just want to be honest and law-abiding citizens and live a peaceful life.

Seeing his repeated assurances, Zhou Yang felt relieved and said, "It's good that you think that way; it's not in vain that I've kept you by my side all this time."

Besides their own excitement, Hunter and his family were also incredibly thrilled.

They'll be able to take over their fiefdoms soon, which means they can live there. If the Jiaolong warship is this luxurious, imagine how luxurious their fiefdoms will be.

Hunter felt that bringing his family here was a wise decision.

Just as everyone was filled with astonishment, the Jiaolong ship slowly docked at the shore.

Everyone rushed over immediately, afraid of being left behind and forgotten.

Actually, they didn't need to be in such a hurry, because there were people on board who were responsible for verifying identities.

Ticket inspector Amei and her colleagues stood at the entrance, and only those who passed the inspection were allowed to board the ship.

There is a professional military stationed on the ship, and anyone who dares to cause trouble here will be immediately driven out.

Whether you have a ticket or not, as long as you behave yourself, you'll be fine.

Amei checked very carefully, so when someone tried to sneak in unnoticed, she caught them immediately.

"You don't have a ticket, you can't go through here."

The man trying to sneak in without a ticket was a middle-aged man who was as thin as a monkey. He was skin and bones, and his skin was so dark it looked like it had been coated with soy sauce.

His face was covered in wrinkles, looking like pine bark.

Even as he was caught, he refused to admit his mistake, desperately trying to justify himself: "This is the ticket I bought, why are you saying I don't have a ticket?"

As he spoke, he took out the ticket in his hand.

Amei knew immediately that the ticket was counterfeit, and the ink on it wasn't even dry yet. She couldn't understand how he had the nerve to use it to deceive people.

"Uncle, your ticket is fake. You didn't buy it from us."

Amei spoke quite directly, and some curious people around her pricked up their ears to listen.

The middle-aged man felt embarrassed, having been exposed in public by a young girl.

"Nonsense! I bought this ticket with real money, what makes you think it's fake?"

In fact, he forged the ticket himself; he drew it with ink.

He believed his forgery technique was flawless; even if the real ticket maker stood in front of him, they wouldn't be able to tell the ticket was genuine.

Unfortunately, he overlooked one thing: he was in such a hurry when drawing the ticket that the ink wasn't even dry, which is why Amei noticed the flaw.

"Sir, could you please make way? There are many people waiting to board the boat."

Amei saw that he was quite old and didn't want to argue with him.

If it were anyone else, they might have been arrested by the Imperial Guards and imprisoned long ago.

But the more she said that, the more the other party took advantage of her and didn't take her words seriously at all.

"No, I have to get in today! I have a ticket, and your rules here say that as long as you have a ticket, you can get in. Just because I'm an ordinary citizen doesn't mean you can treat me like a human being!"

The uncle spoke with tears streaming down his face. He already looked pitiful, and when he started crying, some people around him couldn't bear to see him like that.

Some even started advising Amei: "Young lady, why don't you let him go up? I think there's plenty of room on the boat, one more won't make a difference." (End of Chapter)
