Me and My Cold CEO Wife

Chapter 2157 - 2146: Visitors Arrive on the Island

"What are the orders?"Ning Fan stated without turning his head, "Kill!"

"Hehe..."

Looking at the distant gigantic battle ship, Vivian's eyes glimmered with golden light, "I wonder what treasures might be on board?"

"Mr. Ning."

Upon seeing Ning Fan's arrival, Sangganda was somewhat surprised.

"I'm feeling a bit uneasy."

Ning Fan whispered, "Later on, don't address me as mister; just consider me one of the villagers."

He had already advised the villagers, leaving only Sangganda unaware.

"That might trouble you, sir."

Ning Fan shook his head, took a step back, and stood behind Sangganda.

The battle ship, being massive, wouldn't easily dock at an unfamiliar harbor, and this one showed no intention to approach either.

At this point, the ship had anchored about two hundred meters away from the coast.

Then a team of five flew over from the ship.

In the center of the five-person team was a middle-aged mage holding a magic wand,

The cyan gemstone embedded on the wand was releasing a half-transparent light shield like water ripples.

Ning Fan secretly noted, "It's the Wind Series Magic known as Levitation."

In these recent days of constant exposure, he had gained a systematic understanding of magic.

As for the other four warriors dressed in plate armor, each carrying heavy swords on their backs, Ning Fan merely glanced at them before looking away.

"At most Fourth Rank warriors. Useless!"

If it were a five-person team composed entirely of warriors, he wouldn't need even a second to eliminate them all at once.

At this time, the team of five was already nearby but showed no intention of descending,

Among them, a blond man arrogantly asked from above, "Who's in charge here?"

Sangganda bent in a servile smile, "This old man is the village chief."

"You're the village chief." The man continued asking, "So, what place is this?"

"Hill Village under the jurisdiction of West Harbor City."

"So that means West Harbor City isn't far from here!"

Noticing the hidden delight in the man's words, Ning Fan guessed that this battle ship must have, like him, accidentally discovered Hill Island while straying into this sea region.

This was why a battle ship appeared here because Hill Island is not on the maritime routes.

"Replying to you sir, West Harbor City is just ahead."

As he spoke, Sangganda pointed southwest with his hand.

"Rude."

Speaking, the blond man suddenly drew the heavy sword from his back.

The heavy sword's fierce strike stirred waves over the sea.

Seeing the glances from Lum and others, Ning Fan sternly glared, scolding softly, "What are you looking at me for?"

After that, Ning Fan drew a sharp breath, muttering to himself, "What a terrifying combat technique."

Lum was startled, then he widened his eyes and even started trembling, others followed suit.

"The acting is so unconvincing. Shaking like a sieve, is it necessary to be so exaggerated? Look at how well the old man can act."

Sangganda's mouth was wide open, as if his throat was stuffed with an egg, unable to speak for a long time.

"M-Master, I don't know why the master is angry?"

The blond man coldly huffed, "Hmph! You audacious plebeian, how dare you mock me."

"Even if this old man had the gall of a lion, I wouldn't dare mock you, master."

"You casually pointed and claimed it to be West Harbor City, isn't that mocking us?"

"To tell the truth. When I was younger, this old man visited West Harbor City and thus knows the rough direction."

Saying this, Sangganda took out a greyish iron badge with trembling hands, "This is my Mercenary Badge."

After glancing at the badge, the blond man laughed to the others, "Didn't expect to find a fellow in the same trade."

The other three immediately burst into laughter, their laughter naturally derisive.

Only that middle-aged mage remained unsmiling, unsure if he was busy casting spells, or if it's just his nature.

"Old man, notify the villagers to come here and gather."

The blond man threatened coldly, "If I find even one missing, don't blame me for being merciless."

"This old man understands."

Sangganda nodded repeatedly, then said to Lum, "Quick, inform everyone to come here."

As the villagers gradually gathered, the four acted as if assessing goods, commenting on the women of the village.

"I can't wait to go back. I'm almost at my limit."

"Why not have some fun here? Hehe."

"So dark, with a bony figure. Not fun at all."

...

Listening to these frivolous remarks, Ning Fan truly wanted to kill them right then, but seeing the twelve Magic Crystal Cannons directly opposite, he could only clench his fist and endure.

The quality of these warriors was extremely poor, but the ship's alertness was very high,

Not only did they dispatch a small squad to examine, but the distant Demon Crystal Cannons were also in a battle-ready state.

Should unrest occur here, Ning Fan had no doubt about their determination to fire.

At this moment, the mage spoke up, "Is everyone from the village here?"

"Reporting to you sir, everyone is here."

The middle-aged mage scanned over the crowd, then stopped on Sangganda, saying flatly, "Are you a mage?"

"This old man is untalented, a Third Rank Mage."

"Hmm!"

The middle-aged mage nodded, then said, "Du Wei, stay here on guard. I'll inform the young lady."

"Have a safe trip, Wilton steward."

Hearing this title, along with the sycophantic grin on the blond man's face, Ning Fan knew they weren't all one group.

He also noticed that the pattern embroidered on the mage's robe was the same as that on the battle flag, all depicting a Gorgon's head.

The four, including the blond man, should be mercenaries hired by the battle ship.

After the middle-aged mage left, these four became increasingly flagrant, seemingly with intentions of impropriety.

"Don't misbehave. Remember the woman's rules."

"Speaking of which. The young lady is really beautiful. If I could play with her, I'd die willing."

Upon hearing the blond man's words, the other three's expressions changed dramatically, "If you wanna die, don't drag us down."

"Relax. So far away, who knows what I said."

Saying this, the blond man's sinister gaze fixed on Sangganda, threatening, "What did you hear?"

"This old man doesn't understand what the master is talking about."

"Hmph! Smart."

Soon, five small wooden boats were lowered from the battle ship.

The warriors and mages aboard the other four boats were escorting the boat filled with ladies in the center.

Above this boat filled with ladies, the mage encountered earlier was flying above accompanying the boat.

In the waters surrounding the boat, there were also people diving to escort it.

These people were protecting the central boat in a coordinated sea-air-ground formation.

Seeing the wooden boat drawing nearer, the blond man Du Wei scolded, "Step back, don't pollute the air here."

"This old man understands."

Ning Fan watched this scene with a stoic expression.

On Earth, there's a saying, poverty makes even breathing a sin.

This phrase also applies here, only turning into a factor of power.
