Chapter 715: Internal Change

    

. Just wait for me here obediently, and I'll be back soon..." After saying that, she smiled and waved at him with the hospital's hot water kettle in hand.Junzhi Mu looked at her and couldn't help but..."Leader, you cannot kill the young miss." Elder Two suddenly led a group of people into the room.

During the chief's mealtime, no one would dare barge in uninvited unless summoned.

The chieftain's face darkened with fury. He hated being challenged, and instantly roared, "Get out of here!"

"Chief."

"Chieftain, we cannot kill the young lady."

Elder Two and the remaining five elders stood at the other end of the table, lowering their heads with gritted teeth. They just didn't leave.

All matters, big and small, on the island are subject to the leader's word. They have the absolute power of life and death. For important matters concerning the island, these elders still have to step forward.

"Miss" The chieftain, seeing these old stubborn guys so persistent, his face turned red with anger, and he sneered instead, "I didn't admit her, the miss from inside!"

Accompanying Gu Ruqing at the dining table also raised her head and said sternly, "Do you want to rebel You actually speak to our leader in such a tone."

“That girl's life is ours to give, and even if her father wants her dead, it's only right.”

Elder Two's celestial frame was imposing, his features dark and fierce. He glared menacingly at Gu Ruqing, "Madam, the young mistress is the master of the Blood Pact of the Staff, she cannot be killed!" Although he called her 'Madam,' there was no respect in his tone whatsoever.

The Great Leader's face was grim. He hadn't expected these old stubborn ones, led by the Second Elder, to notice the abnormality of the staff so quickly.

According to the records in their ancestral library, the owner of the scepter is also the master of the island.

Elder Vasko, with a thoughtful expression on his face, took a step forward and approached the Second Elder. "…Andre, for an outsider who has just appeared, you led others to openly defy and disrespect the leader. What are you trying to do!"

Although Elder Vesko was only five feet tall and had an unattractive appearance, his eyes were sharp and piercing. His position on the island was undisputed.

Over the years, the Seven Elders of the island, led by Elder Two from the conservative faction, have been increasingly dissatisfied with the current leader, Augustus. They find him obstinate, tyrannical, and driven by personal feelings rather than reason. He acts impulsively and selfishly, disregarding the common good and failing to contribute to the island's development.

The second elder secretly hopes that Raphael will take over, hoping to bring new opportunities to the island. But the current leader is young and strong, and he has the full support of the Great Elder.

Elder Two's voice boomed, "Fresco, our ancestors have lived on this island for generations. This island is our land, and we should revere its ruler... However, today Nagah spoke his words clearly to us all. The leader is not the owner of the scepter. According to the ancient texts, the owner of the scepter is the one we should revere..."

The Elder rebuked, "She's just an outsider. It's very likely she'll betray us. What if she brings people from the outside in Our island could be destroyed by modern artillery, and our thousand-year-old civilization would be destroyed by those ambitious outsiders."

The other elders were also moved by this, in fact they didn't believe in the sudden emergence of this leader's daughter.

Elder Two stubbornly continued to argue, “No matter what, we absolutely cannot kill her. We can observe her and make a judgment later.”

The elder and second elder argued until they were red in the face.

"Shut up—"

The Great Chief, unable to bear it any longer, was enraged. He slammed his staff onto the floor with a heavy thud, the sound of metal resonating through the air.

Everyone immediately bowed their heads in fear.

Even the Second Elder didn't dare to openly argue with the First Elder, but he was still unconvinced in his heart.

On this island, the chief could rule with force, but he also had to win hearts and minds. The great chief knew how to persuade elders like the second elder, who were set in their ways.

"Andre, what do you think that girl could possibly bring to our island" the chieftain asked.

Elder Two thought for a moment, then shook his head.

They knew nothing about that woman.

As you said, our ancestors have lived on this land for thousands of years. We live in order and peace, and the most annoying thing is being disturbed by outsiders.

“And now, a great disaster is consuming our land, threatening our very lives. Underwater volcanoes erupt, and tsunamis sweep in, leaving coastal areas in ruins. This third island is the only relatively safe place right now. But we all know countless meteorites are falling from the sky. Then, we, and our island, will be buried forever at the bottom of the sea.”

When mentioning the disaster, the elders' faces turned grave. It wasn't just the sudden arrival of the calamity; they wouldn't have needed to leave their comfortable lives on the second main island.

Their island is going to sink into the sea.

The magnetic field of this island is very special, with the center located at the position of the sarcophagus on the third island. It was Raphael who moved the sarcophagus, disrupting the entire island's magnetic field and triggering a natural disaster.

"Bring Raphael here!" The chieftain said flatly to the guards outside.

The elders looked at each other in surprise, stepping aside left and right to make room for Raphael in the middle.

Raphael strode in, his spine straight, staring at his father across the table. Even though he was using someone else's body, his eyes still radiated disdain and resentment.

"Where is the sarcophagus"

The Great Chief never spoke to him about filial piety, treating him just like a subordinate as he coldly reprimanded him.

When the elders heard their leader question them like that, they immediately understood. They all turned to Raphael, realizing that the most pressing issue wasn't who owned the staff but finding a way to stop the island from sinking.

Raphael wasn't a well-behaved son at all. He sneered, said nothing in response, and retorted, "Where is the Fountain of Resurrection"

It's clear that Raphael doesn't care if this island sinks beneath the waves, taking everyone with it. He'd be happy to see them all buried together. They want to know where the sarcophagus is, and he knows the location of the Fountain of Rebirth.

Legend has it that if the three sections of the three-tiered staff are reassembled, the Fountain of Resurrection can be obtained, but Raphael couldn't figure it out.

The Great Chief, of course, knew why his good son wanted to revive the spring. He was silent, staring hard at this is the child that Elisah gave birth to for him.

Elder Two seized the opportunity to step forward and whispered, "Young Master, you should learn to prioritize the greater good."

Raphael laughed, a mocking sound. “I have no such power. I can’t even protect one person, how could I guard this island of miracles”

Eldest Brother immediately felt very disappointed in him. Rafael's personality was so arrogant, how could he possibly inherit the rule of the island in the future

The chief turned his head and whispered something affectionately into the ear of Madam Gu Ruqing. Everyone immediately guessed what was going on, after all, Madam Gu, who was always favored, was being treated with special attention. No one knew what they were talking about.

Gu Ruqing was first taken aback, leaning close to the chief's ear and asking again. Upon receiving confirmation, Gu Ruqing's expression stiffened for a moment before she broke into a radiant smile.
