Chapter 608: The Clash of Geniuses

a sentence.That night, Junzhi Mu very calmly returned the jade pendant to her. He didn't get angry, didn't break it, and was as calm as he wasn't like himself.She stood rigidly before him, her whole..."Quiet!" Jun Zhi Mu glared at everyone around him.

The Old Ghost and the others didn't dare to shout or jeer, they shut up sheepishly.

“...Inventory the food, weapons, fire-starting equipment, and lighting. Prepare to land.” Junzhimu issued the order, no one dared to disobey.

The Lord Shepherd decided to land on the island.

Whether or not the old ghosts trust Raphael's words, they will do as he says.

Raphael glanced at the person beside him who started tidying up, a smirk growing on his lips.

"Where is she now"

The shepherd of men spread the map flat, his voice cold.

Raphael knew he was being asked, and in his opinion, the only one on the whole ship with a lick of sense was this Captain Mu. He strolled over with his hands in his pockets.

Lowering his gaze to glance at the ancient hand-drawn map, he clicked his tongue. Strozzi's ancestors had personally drawn and treasured it for so many years, yet it had ended up in the hands of outsiders.

Raphael's current flesh-and-blood master, Tang Yu, is also quite capable. While Raphael was still in a hazy state of consciousness, he managed to get the Count to do his bidding and hand over the Strozzi Islands map to his little sister, Qiao Baoer.

But Raphael's eyes, Lu Qinan immediately cried out in a flustered manner. "Don't give him Qiao Ba'er's map."

Raphael glanced at Lu Qinan's left eye, which was bruised from the hit. He sneered disdainfully, "The map of the Strozzi archipelago How did it end up in the hands of you outsiders"

"Raphael, do you still want that shipment of weapons from me" Junzhimu asked impatiently.

Rafael, hearing about the weapons, immediately sobered up and looked at him with a serious expression.

It's clear he cares about that shipment of weapons.

Lu Qinan had always disliked him. Looking at his arrogant and conceited expression, occupying Tang Yu's body, and even instigating them to come to this desolate place, the thing in front of them was not even human, it was some kind of evil spirit or ghost.

Raphael, if you don't bring us Qiao Bao'er first, we'll blow up all of your pathetic islands with these weapons.

Lu Qinian clutched his left eye in pain and finally seized the opportunity to roar at him, his voice full of anger.

Raphael narrowed his eyes, a hint of suppressed anger in them that contrasted with his usual aloof demeanor. "The Earl will go to find her."

Raphael made a concession.

Count

When Junzhi Mu and Lu Qinian heard the word, they were both slightly surprised. They actually brought the cat.

Count, then there's only the spiritual black cat.

At that moment, a monkey walked in from outside the control room carrying a black metal box. "Jun Shao," he said hurriedly, "there's a cat."

At this time, the Earl was completely disoriented from the previous storm. As a spirit cat, he couldn't handle the bumpy ride and looked very weak and exhausted. He lay in that black box without moving.

Raphael reached out and lifted the Earl's cat by its scruff.

Rafael glanced at the earl with a cold look in his eyes, as if confirming that he was still alive. "Hmm, not dead yet," he muttered to himself, his tone devoid of any sympathy or pity.

Cats are most afraid of water, especially when encountering deep seas during a big storm. They would be in real danger.

As Raphael's beloved pet, Count quickly recovered his strength. He shook his head and sat up straight, as if accustomed to maintaining an air of noble dignity at all times.

"...If you insist on finding my little sister, then we'll split up. Send some men to follow the Count, and they'll lead you to her."

Raphael's voice was languid, his flippant tone showing that he didn't take the life of his so-called 'little sister', Qiao Bao'er, seriously at all.

"You want us to believe a cat" Lu Qinan thought he was joking.

The voice of the Lord Shepherd was cold and solemn. He suddenly said, " Qiao Bao'er is not on this island."

Jun's words were affirmative; he was very certain that the island before them did not hold the person he sought. Raphael remained evasive, never giving a direct answer to his question.

Raphael raised an eyebrow, but said nothing.

Raphael's playful eyes told Junzhimu that finding Qiao Baoer wouldn't be easy, and this island before them was far from where he wanted to go.

Send the Count to find Qiao Bao'er.

To everyone's surprise in the control room, Jun Zhi Mu narrowed his eyes, pulled out the gun from his waist with lightning speed, and aimed it at Count Black Cat who was crouching on the control panel. He fired several shots—

The count's cat fur stood on end, and he froze, not daring to move even a claw.

A bullet hole had pierced the electronic panel, emitting a sizzling sound of electrical disruption from the device. The bullet holes were small, circular ones, and the black cat Count sat in the middle of them, just barely surviving this close call.

The lord's icy gun was still trained on the earl; there was not a single bullet left in his hand.

Raphael was furious, "If you're looking for Qiao Baoer, she's on the Wild Island!"

He rarely got angry, roaring in fury. Had it not been for the need to work with this shepherd of men, Raphael would have definitely made them pay dearly.

"The Island of the Savages."

Jun Zhi Mu's cold eyes glared at Raphael and the Earl, his lips moving silently as he muttered to himself, his face growing even more somber and grim.

No wonder Raphael has been avoiding his questions and unwilling to tell him where Qiao Bao'er is.

"An island of savages, with savages living on it" Jun Zhi Mu asked coldly again.

This time, Raphael's mouth curled into a cold smile, a wide and dazzling one. "Yes, many, many savages. Crude and barbaric, uncivilized people are savages. They eat raw flesh and live off blood."

Lu Qinan heard Raphael's words and knew that this bastard was definitely saying it on purpose, but Qiao Baoer being on a savage island was really worrisome.

"How is she now" Junzhi Mu questioned with a stoic expression.

"Still alive."

Raphael still answers like that.

Lu Qinan suspected him, "Did you lie to us or not They've been on the island for seven or eight days, and she now…" Can she last that long

Even if Qiao Bao'er encountered any misfortune, Rafael would definitely not tell them the truth.

The Strozzi family members have a telepathic connection, Raphael seems to have inherited an incredibly powerful ability. His presence is eerie like a demon or malevolent spirit. He can see Qiao Bao'er's current situation with his eyes closed.

"...My younger sister separated from the others. Their cargo ship was caught in a storm and broke apart in mid-air. She was washed ashore, alone."

Raphael seemed to have nothing to hide, so he simply told the truth. Part of it was also his malicious nature wanting to see how frightened Junzhi and Mu would be.

As expected, Jun Zhimu and Lu Qinan's faces grew even more anxious and unsightly when they heard him say that.

Lu Qinan angrily shouted at him, "Didn't you say at the beginning that Gu Ruqing had taken her away Didn't you say that Gu Ruqing wouldn't abuse her Didn't you say that Gu Ruqing knew how to leave the island and knew how to return safely You mother**er are talking about this now Qiao Bao'er has been on that island for seven days!"

Jun's shepherd was vaguely flushing, he knew Raphael was deliberately provoking him, but he wasn't lying. At this moment, there was no other choice but to believe him.

Raphael said, she was alive.

Although the cruise ship can still operate normally, the severe damage to the energy compartment means it can only travel another 1000 nautical miles at most. A portion of the crew must remain behind to carry out repairs.

While the sun had not yet set, Jun Zhimu led a group of people to attempt landing on the island to scout it out.

The rest began to distribute supplies, preparing dinner and a place to rest for the night.or people, but unexpectedly, she was quite willing to spend time here.They had lunch in the tea room and immediately spotted the imported espresso machine in the corner—a good thing, with high-quality...
