“You’re more horrifying than a Tyrannosaurus.” The girl noticed the bloodcurdling aura oozing out of Zhang Lisheng unwittingly when he was talking to the point that he actually caused several aborigines around him to take a few steps back, trembling in unison as they bared their teeth in a defying manner. They then lowered their heads deeply with a strange look in their eyes. “But you’re more attractive than Iron Man…”

When Maddie was complimenting her big boss, a beautiful black female officer who had an extraordinary disposition came out of a semi-permanent military camp in the ‘gathering place’ before striding to the beach port.

As she was walking, every officer who saw the red and blue sash on the female officer immediately saluted her. Without stopping, she returned the salutes continuously and headed straight towards the beach where the bloody conflict occurred.

With the sunlight of the setting sun, she crouched down to look at the sandy area carefully—at the rough beach sand, the bloodstains that gave off a thick bloody scent after it was moved, and the various-sized footprints. Everything seemed to be so ordinary and normal.

After observing for a few minutes and did not observe anything strange, the female officer stood up with a pair of sore legs and right at that instant, a small amount of sand on the edge of the bloodstain caught her attention.

If one did not have superb observation ability and special training, it would be impossible for an ordinary person to notice that such a small pile of fine sand mixing in the rough sand would be of any difference.

However, when the female officer reached out her hand to pick up that small pile of sand from the ground to rub them between her fingers, her eyes narrowed as she looked at her fingers that showed more than ten tiny wounds in astonishment.

“Just how much strength would it need to grind the coarse sand here into fine sand?” Dumbfounded, she muttered to himself before giving out her orders through the walkie talkie, “Sanitary Officer, you guys may come to do your clean up now.”

Then, as though nothing had happened, she strode towards Zhang Lisheng who had managed to obtain great loot in the distance.

“Sir, I’m Alison K. Ambel, the duty officer in the gathering place. I saw you have traded a lot of things with the aborigines, so I’d like to remind you that if you don’t intend to stay on this island, all of the local specialties here are not allowed to be taken outside.”

“Oh, thank you for your reminder…” Zhang Lisheng looked at the military rank of the beautiful female officer who had just walked up to him. “Miss second lieutenant, I don’t have the intention to take these things away with me. I just wanna observe them properly here on the island.”

“Observe them? The things you’re exchanging are all sorts of strange insects, so what is there… Oh, wait a minute! Could it be that you’re a biologist? But you don’t seem to be old enough to be one though.”

“I’m indeed studying at the Biology Faculty at Stanford University,” the young man said with an innocent smile.

“Oh, so you’re a rocket scientist!”

“A rocket scientist?”

“It’s a slang. It refers to those genii who are very young like you who do research at a prestigious school. It sounds better than being called scientist weirdo, right? Speaking of it, you’re a rocket scientist and on top of that, your luck is so good as to be arranged to come to the island on the first day of its sea route launching…”

“I’m sorry, Miss second lieutenant, my boss is not arranged to come to the island on the first day. Instead, he’s the future investor of this island.” When Maddie who was beside them heard that the conversation between the female officer and Zhang Lisheng was getting more and more private, a smile gradually formed on her face as she suddenly took the young man’s arm. “Lisheng, look at Mr. Charlie! He has already been standing on the land he has his eyes on for a long time already. Let’s go ask him how much money will the land cost.”

“Okay, Maddie. I’ll see you again, Miss second lieutenant.” Zhang Lisheng nodded and waved at the female officer before walking towards the entrance of the gathering place with the girl. Watching his disappearing silhouette, a deep look of contemplation appeared on Alison’s face.

“Maddie, why do you think that female officer asked me so many things?” Indistinctly sensing the staring gaze behind him, the young man asked casually. He was lifting up a long string of supernatural realm’s insects tied onto a piece of tree bark rope with his left hand as he observed them in detail.

“It’s already so obvious, so do you really want me to say it out loud? She’s trying to strike up a conversation with you! Some of these black-skinned women like Asian boys…”

“Striking up a conversation with me? The hell? I don’t think she’s that silly.” Zhang Lisheng stopped the girl’s absurd assumption.

Looking at one of the supernatural realm’s insects similar to a ladybug that had long fangs and had a body size several dozen times bigger burst into a pile of flesh with a “pop” sound, he sighed and turned his attention on another insect that looked like a horned beetle but was brown in color without saying anything more.

After they got close to the only entrance of the gathering place that linked to the outer world, he looked up at the hedgehog-like cannons on the wall before turning to look at the dense jungle a few hundred meters outside of the entrance as he muttered to himself, “There are cannons but no guards. This is…”

“Oh, powerful Guardian of the Tudenan! Oh, great Son of the Sea Zhang Lisheng! You’re actually in this foreign tribe! God really blesses our tribe!” Without warning, a few aborigines who had just walked into the gathering place through the entrance while carrying animal skins and raw meats that were still dripping with blood suddenly knelt down on the ground and shouted with both sorrow and joy.

Naturally, Zhang Lisheng, who had made gestures with the supernatural realm’s aborigines when he was bartering for the sake of pulling the wool over everybody’s eyes, could understand what they were saying. Not only that, but he also had some impression on one aborigine who was taller and stronger compared to the other ordinary aborigines among them.

However, the young man was mistaken by the Tudenan’s hunting team as a sea beast from the supernatural realm. When he became the Tudenan’s guardian by mistake, he was still in his three-meter giant form covering in dense scales. Now that these aborigines recognized him in just one glance, he became perplexed.

“Lisheng, these aborigines seem to be bowing at you and calling your name too…”

Zhang Lisheng who was still in the midst of baffling contemplation, whether he should communicate with these supernatural realm Tudenan aborigines in the human’s gathering place or not, was shocked by Maddie’s words. Cold sweat broke out from his forehead.

He had somehow told his full name in the Tudenan tribe in a rather baffling manner. Despite the inaccurate pronunciation from these kneeling aborigines, one could still clearly make out the pronunciation of the name ‘Zhang Lisheng’.”

Secretly communicating with the Tudenan might seem to be eye-catching in this human’s gathering place, but it was still much better than having a group of indigenous midgets kowtowing while calling out his name directly.

“Warriors of Tudenan. There’s no need to salute me. Go carry out what you’re supposed to do.” Seizing the chance that he had yet to attract much attention, Zhang Lisheng stamped forward and the iron-like thigh muscles in his dark casual pants bulged out without warning, showing countless blue veins. As he stomped onto the ground and sent out his force, the kneeling aborigines trembled till they involuntary stood up.

However, the instant the aborigines stood up, they immediately kneeled down again and cried out sorrowfully, “Guardian Zhang Lisheng! Tudenan tribe has already fallen to a state where it’s on the brink of extinction with very few survivors. The reason we’ve climbed over countless mountains and reached this legendary foreign tribe is so that we can preserve our tribe’s heritage and prevent it from being destroyed. The sacred totem has already collapsed. You’re one of the only hopes of our tribe’s revival…”

Upon hearing their cries, only then that Zhang Lisheng realize that despite not being covered in wounds, these few Tudenan aborigines appeared to be pallid looking. There seemed to be a vague expression of apparent sorrow on their ugly faces.

Even so, no matter how terrible the Tudenan people’s situation was, the young man no longer cared about it anymore. When he saw that more and more people started to pay attention to them, he whispered and snarled to stop the aborigines from continuing their sorrowful story. “The Tudenan’s enemy had long infiltrated into this big city, so your current actions now will only lead to the complete demise of the tribe. Go into hiding here and wait for my call. By the time I’ve found strong support, I’ll surely bring all of you together to revive the tribe.”

Then, he proceeded to turn around and brought Maddie, who stood in place as she gazed dumbfoundedly, away from the great entrance of the gathering place in huge strides.

Only a few Tudenan aborigines were left there. Their eyes lit up with a pleasant surprise and hope as they gradually concealed themselves in the crowds quietly.

At the same time, when they went into hiding, Maddie, who Zhang Lisheng took away, whispered, “I know already! I know already! They’re your devotees! The descendant of God! That’s right! You’re God’s descendant! You have already launched your own sect in the supernatural realm, so in that case, it’s actually you who first discovered this world earlier than the US government or perhaps i-its…”

“Stop guessing at random, Maddie. It’s not what you think it is.” Zhang Lisheng looked at the girl next to her who showed an expression of realization before whispering irritatedly, “I plan to stay at the berth until the ship comes. Either you go stroll around by yourself like what Charlie and Edward are doing now or stay by my side in total silence.”

“I’ll choose the second option,” Maddie replied and made a gesture to zip her mouth.

After that, the girl walked to the beach with the young man and watched him refine the insects he was carrying in his hand with the spell ‘assimilate’ till they died one by one. When the last insect burst in Zhang Lisheng’s hand with a splat, the outline of a giant ship riding on the waves just so happened to appear on the sea.

The time for the return voyage had finally arrived. Zhang Lisheng, who originally planned to refine the supernatural realm’s insects he traded with the aborigines one by one to try testing his luck, did not become upset over the death of all of his insects. Instead, after a period of tranquil contemplation, his agitated feelings had now calmed down.

After he embarked on the cruise, he looked at the human gathering place on the supernatural realm’s island that had 300 to 400 settlers remaining behind. Tapping on the ship’s side as he was lost in thought, he suddenly said, “Charlie, I think this giant island gives off a feeling of unlimited business opportunities. What do you think about investing some money in making a cruise ship business from New York to the supernatural realm? ”

“C-Cruise business? We’ve never come in contact with this industry before though.” If it was somebody else who suggested the LS Group, which had been operating in the slaughter industry all this while, to do this completely unrelated cruise business, Charlie would have long spat on his face. However, now that Zhang Lisheng voiced out this suggestion, of course, the meaning would become completely different. Weighing the pros and cons, he added, “Even though the group’s fund is abundant now. The recent expansion is unprecedentedly huge as well. If we use this time to…”

“Alright, Charlie! I don’t want to hear too many explanations. You can tell me directly whether it’s feasible or not!” The young man frowned.
