Chapter 710: Brother and Sister

Jo Bao'er leaned on Raphael, barely managing to rush out of the passage. The moment they stepped into the sunlight outside Shui Lian Dong, they were surrounded by armed personnel.

"Hand over the staff!" Grand Elder Vesko threatened, his voice booming.

When they saw the complete golden scepter in Qiao Baoer's hand, they couldn't help but show expressions of shock. This legendary artifact, the supreme scepter of Strozi Island, was finally appearing before the world again.

Raphael stared intently at the man in fine clothes and imposing bearing who led the group, while Qiao Bao'er was still caught off guard. She had just escaped from a snake den and now found herself inexplicably surrounded by strangers.

Although Baihu was injured in the leg by falling rocks inside Shuilian Cave, he still bravely walked up to Qiao Baoer and Raphael. Baihu bared his teeth and stared down at the armed group, showing no signs of backing down.

Joe Baoer was momentarily flustered, but luckily Raphael was by her side, so she wasn't too nervous. Deep down, she was certain that she hadn't offended these people, so they must have come for Raphael.

He got implicated again.

"Who are you"

A middle-aged man in a noble robe of pale gold, with complicated eyes and a hint of speculation, stared intently at Qiao Bao'er.

A strange young woman was holding the Strozzi family's rare scepter in her hand. The golden scepter represented noble status and supreme power.

The leader was in no hurry to deal with them, they were like turtles trapped in a jar.

The beautiful woman beside his good son was of great interest to the leader. His son Raphael was cold-blooded, cruel, and extremely extreme in nature, so it was surprising that he had a woman by his side.

Love The chieftain immediately scoffed at this ridiculous notion. His son didn't understand love.

And she could clutch the golden scepter tightly, she was...

Qiao Baoer felt very uncomfortable being stared at by this strange uncle. She was about to ask Raphael beside her in a low voice, who this person was.

"Are you, Qing'er's daughter" The chieftain pondered for a while before coming up with an answer.

At her age, with her looks, she resembled Gu Ruqing's youthful beauty at its peak. This child's eyes held an additional touch of resoluteness.

At that moment, Raphael whispered in her ear with a mocking tone, "Your own father."

He's also his biological father.

Joe Bao'er's clear eyes showed obvious surprise, and any emotion she felt was easily seen on her face.

The chieftain frowned slightly. He had just seen Raphael talking naturally and intimately with this woman, which only deepened his confusion. He asked again in a low voice.

"Are you, Gu Ruqing's daughter, my daughter"

Qiao Baoer felt very resistant inside and didn't want to answer this question.

Her hand gripped the staff tightly, her gaze unwavering as she stared into the eyes of this unfamiliar father. "You surrounded us," she demanded, her voice ringing with defiance, "What is your purpose Do you only want this staff This was ours after years of hardship!"

This group of people just want to reap the benefits without doing any work, it's really shameless.

She didn't answer directly, which meant she acquiesced. The chieftain and the elders were all astonished. Gu Ruqing actually still had a hand up her sleeve, giving birth to a daughter outside the island, but remained silent about it for so long.

The chieftain had never been particularly fond of his own kin, and what surprised him even more was that Gu Ruqing's daughter was so close to Raphael. It was truly an unusual sight.

Whether it was his good son who used some sorcery, or his daughter living abroad who was simply too dimwitted, Gu Ruqing's daughter collaborating with Rafael was undoubtedly playing with fire. It was like dancing with wolves and seeking tiger skin for oneself.

The chieftain didn't even bother asking the name of his newly acquainted daughter, his tone was stern and commanding as he declared, "The scepter belongs to the Strozzi family. Hand it over, and you may live."

Qiao Bao'er and Raphael, one clumsy and naive, the other bearing inner wounds, plus a seriously injured white tiger barely clinging to life.

One cannot overcome a crowd alone.

"What should we do" Qiao Baoer panicked.

She urged Rafael beside her to come up with a solution quickly. At some point, she had unknowingly begun to rely on this younger brother of hers for advice and action.

"If you can't win, what else can you do,"

Raphael glared at the crowd before him, his gaze lingering especially on his esteemed father who met his eyes. "Tell them," Raphael said with a mocking sneer, "that you were forced by me. Beg your own father to bring the spoils across and maybe, just maybe, you'll earn yourself the title of 'Lady.'"

"Don't think I won't!" Qiao Baoer had enough of his sarcasm.

Rafael spoke coldly, shooing her away.

Raphael was badly wounded, he couldn't even stand without her supporting him. Despite this disadvantage, he still dared to be arrogant.

"Foolish!"

Jo Bao'er finally had the chance to throw those two words back at him, giving him a look of disdain.

"You!" Raphael was furious.

Elder Frasco saw Gu Ruqing's daughter talking to Rafael amiably, and immediately felt something was wrong. According to Gu Ruqing, this young woman should be hostile to Rafael, after all, Gu Ruqing and Rafael had been fighting tooth and nail against each other.

It's not a good thing that Gu Ruqing's daughter is so close to Raphael.

The Great Elder sensed something was amiss and, fearing trouble, urged them repeatedly, "What are you waiting for Immediately go up and apprehend them!"

These heavily armed personnel, equipped with modern weaponry, surged forward.

"If you take one more step, I will detonate all the explosives here immediately!" a familiar male voice suddenly roared.

Qiaobaer's heart filled with joy, she immediately turned to look. At the bottom of the waterfall, several familiar figures quickly surfaced from the water.

They were hiding here all along.

"Explosives"

The chief and the elder glared at Junzhimu with anger in their eyes. They were over half a century old and had met many people, so they could tell at a glance that Junzhimu was a difficult man to deal with.

As they spoke, Jun Zhimu emerged from the lake, his body soaked through. He stood straight beside Qiao Bao'er, while Lao Gui and the others glared with sharp eyes, each holding a gun, ready to fire.

“The explosives we lost last night were stolen by you,” the leader roared, his anger escalating.

Jun Zhi Mu's eyes were sharp, and he said in a cold voice, word by word, "You know best, that batch of explosives could easily blow up this waterfall. With the massive mountain collapsing, none of us would escape."

"...And that big snake inside will come out too." Junzhi牧 added, a sneer curling his lips.

Once the serpent god Naga escapes the suppression of the waterfall, it will be the greatest disaster for this archipelago. All civilizations will have to be rewritten, and as the leader of the islands, naturally, they wouldn't want to see that happen.

The chieftain, hearing the threat of the Shepherd of the Island, was indeed enraged and his face changed dramatically. But after a moment, he burst into laughter, “You are just people from the outer islands, who came to our island after much hardship for sightseeing. Now you want to die with us here You bunch of people are truly determined to die. It seems you came here with the intention of dying.”

They are all working so hard just to survive, to get off this cursed island. The leader naturally knows their thoughts, and deliberately speaks in reverse to provoke them.

The chieftain chuckled, "Then you detonate the Great Falls. None of us could escape, we'd all be buried here together. It would make for a scenic grave."

The heads of the Strozzi family, they aren't easy to deal with.illed with rage. With all her might, she punched her right fist into her left chest, feeling her ribs creak under the strain.Gritting her teeth, she wanted to fight back, but Jun Zhiyan directly sat o...
