From Under One Person: Sincere Journey Through the Heavens

When everyone thought Jiang Liu would be ignored or politely rejected by King Nathan, Feng Baobao spoke up directly and said, "Okay, no problem."

In an instant, everyone froze on the spot, including Elijah and Alfonso—this was not part of the plan.

Zhang Chulan's lips trembled as he worried for Feng Baobao, thinking to himself, "Sister Baobao, you're just pretending to be King Nasen, not the real King Nasen. How could you agree to this?"

Seeing that King Nathan seemed particularly easy to talk to, Ron also had an idea. He raised his wine glass and said to Feng Baobao, "Your Majesty King Nathan, I wonder if our Behemoth can cooperate with Nathan Island? You have come out in person this time, presumably to cooperate with outsiders?"

"cooperate?"

To everyone's surprise, Feng Baobao directly refused, saying, "I don't know you, why should we cooperate?"

They made it sound like it was a given.

Ron's eyelids twitched, and he pointed at Jiang Liu, saying, "You know him?"

"We know each other, so what?"

Feng Baobao countered, "Do I need to report to you?"

Upon hearing this, Ron opened his mouth, wanting to explain, but he didn't know how to explain. After all, the dignified King Nathan didn't need to explain to him, and even if he did explain, he wouldn't be able to explain it clearly.

Furthermore, Feng Baobao's attitude remained completely calm, as if she didn't take Ron seriously at all, which made the others feel intimidated.

After all, King Nathan's behavior seemed to be supporting Jiang Liu. Considering that King Nathan chose to meet them in Shenzhou and that King Nathan has an Eastern appearance... could it be that Nathan Island is going to cooperate with Shenzhou and this is to announce it?

In an instant, representatives and high-ranking officials from other countries' supernatural management organizations reached a consensus without prior communication.

This collaboration must be sabotaged!

Zhao Fangxu also realized that the atmosphere was not right. Just as he was about to speak, Xiao Zizai, who was disguised as a waiter, whispered, "Chairman Zhao, why don't we turn the tables on him, take care of King Nathan, and then let our people take over Nathan Island? I think this is a good idea."

Don't think I don't know what you're thinking!

Zhao Fangxu was a bit of a headache—Xiao Zizai didn't care at all whether or not he took over Nathan Island; he just saw an opportunity to kill someone. "Go and keep an eye on the real Nathan Queen, and make sure nothing happens to her."

Xiao Zizai pursed his lips.

Stop acting cute!

Zhao Fangxu spoke in a deep voice, his eyes unfriendly, "You're an old man now, do you think you're so cute? I'll just say one thing: don't cause trouble! We respect everyone's independence, and our people won't be on the island! Taking over Nathan Island? Don't even think about it!"

"What about Jiang Liu?" Xiao Zizai also put away his playful expression. "He's definitely going to Nathan Island. Does that mean he's one of ours?"

"He's not a company employee," Zhao Fangxu said quietly, glancing at Jiang Liu.

“But the company needs to fight for his permission to go to the island, right? Are you going to talk to Nathan Wang in private?” Xiao Zizai asked.

"You seem to be talking a bit too much," Zhao Fangxu said, squinting.

"No, I was just thinking, if Jiang Liu is to be allowed to come to the island, could you arrange for me to come along?" A hint of murderous intent flashed in Xiao Zizai's eyes—everyone on Nathan Island... he could kill them all, right? That was practically his paradise!

"Don't even think about it!"

Zhao Fangxu denied it outright, but then he heard Jiang Liu say to Elijah and Alfonso, "Hey, Elijah, did you hear that? Your king has granted me free access to Nathan Island."

Elijah frowned, but could only sigh and step forward, saying softly, "Whatever the king says goes."

Alfonso hesitated, but after a meaningful look from Elijah, he ultimately said nothing.

This was just a joke.

Don't take it seriously!

Elijah's words only reinforced the belief among those present that King Nathan intended to collaborate with the All-Treasury of China. They immediately issued strict orders to their subordinates to investigate the details of the collaboration so that they could later plot to sabotage it.

Jiang Liu had been waiting for this very sentence. He produced a contract, the main contents of which were that Jiang Liu could go to Nathan Island to search for lost items and some other related matters.

He handed the contract to Feng Baobao and said, "Dear King Nathan, we are friends, but in order to convince the dignitaries present, why don't you sign it? And have your henchman sign it as well?"

It has been jointly certified by King Nathan and Nathan Guard.

I imagine no one will doubt my subsequent search for the lost item on Nathan Island.

"Makes sense."

Feng Baobao took the contract, wrote "Feng Baobao" on it, and then handed it to Elijah.

Elijah: "..."

In the end, Elijah signed his name.

I won't sign.

The fact that King Nathan was not actually present will be exposed.

Signed —

This is just a joke, and it will eventually end, so it doesn't matter.

and.

Elijah's biggest worry was Jiang Liu, whose strength was extremely powerful. He hadn't witnessed Jiang Liu's punch causing a storm and turning the canyon into a highway, but he had felt the shockwaves after leaving the Twenty-Four Solar Terms Valley... If it was possible to avoid conflict, it would be best to avoid conflict now.

After putting away the contract, Jiang Liu got up from the dining table, stretched, and bowed to Feng Baobao, saying, "My dear King Nathan, may you sleep soundly tonight."

Afterwards, to everyone's astonishment, Jiang Liu walked straight out of the hall, and it wasn't until the door closed again that everyone realized he was gone.

and so--

Who exactly is that person?

Why was Zhao Fangxu brought here?

Everyone turned their attention to Zhao Fangxu.

Zhao Fangxu also didn't quite understand the current situation.

To act alongside Feng Baobao?

But is it really necessary to sign a contract or something?

It was clearly just a joke, a performance! Although we don't know King Nathan's true purpose, since it's a performance, it will eventually come to an end.

and many more!

Is Jiang Liu leaving now to kill King Nasen, turning this charade into reality and making the charade last forever?

Depend on!

Xiao Zizai was just joking...

Jiang Liu might actually do that! But the situation on Nathan Island is different from that of a normal government!

# Chapter 640 This was just a "joke" (Part 2)

"Speaking of a good night's sleep—"

Feng Baobao felt that Jiang Liu had given her a hint earlier, so she said to Zhao Fangxu, "Chairman Zhao, I'm a little sleepy. Have you arranged a room for me to take a nap?"

"It's all arranged! It's all arranged! Please follow me!"

At that moment, Zhao Fangxu felt like cursing.

Most of the people present could understand Chinese to some extent, and Feng Baobao addressed him directly as "Chairman Zhao," which drew meaningful glances from them.

A peaceful sleep?

Tonight is probably going to be a sleepless night!

However, Zhao Fangxu also knew that even without Jiang Liu's actions, tonight would certainly not be peaceful. Just the fact that King Nasen used his cunning to have Feng Baobao attend the banquet in her place proved that something big must have happened on Nasen Island, which was very likely related to the Divine Tree.

Previously, Elijah, as a mercenary, had smuggled himself into China to go to the Twenty-Four Festivals Valley, a fact that was also discovered by the All-Knowing Telescope...

Now, as Nathan's guards accompanying King Nathan, they have once again arrived in the land of China...

They've already visited China twice in a short period of time!

It's no coincidence!

Elijah must have had some other purpose...

···

"Hey beautiful, are you eating barbecue here all by yourself?"

Tianjin Snack Street.

Nathan was sitting at a wooden table near a roadside stall, eating kebabs, when he saw a young man walk by. He sat down as if they were old friends, picked up the menu from the corner of the table, and said to the stall owner who was grilling kebabs, "Boss, give me a serving of chicken and bone skewers, a skewer of lotus root with intertwined tendons, and nine skewers of broken tendons and bones."

"okay."

The stall owner laughed.

"Boss, you're quite good at naming things," Jiang Liu joked after ordering.

"These days, if you're running a roadside stall and it's not a century-old establishment, you have to come up with an attractive name for your dishes. Otherwise, no matter how good your skills are, not many people will come." The owner wasn't annoyed by Jiang Liu's teasing. Instead, he chuckled and explained, "Wait a minute, there are too many people."

"It's okay, take your time."

Jiang Liu wasn't in a hurry to eat, but turned to Nathan Wang and said, "Beautiful lady, would you mind sharing a table? All the tables around here are full."

"do not mind."

As King Nathan, he was also a cultivator. Although he was not skilled in combat, he could still distinguish between ordinary people and extraordinary people.

In her eyes, Jiang Liu's breathing was similar to that of a normal person. He had neither the steady breathing of an Eastern Qi cultivator nor the profoundness of a Western alchemist. He was just a teenager with a relatively perfect physique. She smiled slightly and said, "It's a bit unfair of me to occupy the whole table by myself."

When the dish, with its flesh still attached to the bone, its tendons still intertwined, and its bones broken into pieces, was served by the stall owner, Jiang Liu thanked him, sniffed it, and said, "The owner's cooking is quite good."

"It's passable, nothing like the chefs in those fancy restaurants." The stall owner laughed heartily, quite pleased with the compliment.

"Bone and meat connected" refers to spare ribs, which are brightly colored and fragrant; "lotus root with intertwined threads" refers to a piece of lotus root about the thickness of a forearm, filled with minced meat; and "tendons and bones broken into pieces" refers to beef tendon and grilled meat skewers.

Jiang Liu picked up a string of broken bones and handed it to King Nathan, saying, "Here, consider it payment for your willingness to share a table with me."

"Thank you."

King Nathan didn't stand on ceremony. He took the skewer, took a bite, and said, "This place is really nice. I can eat meat every day."

Judging from your accent, you're not a local, are you?

Jiang Liu, biting into a piece of pork rib, spoke clearly and asked with a smile.

"Your accent doesn't quite match."
