Chapter 12 - Chapter 12: The Mayor's Invitation

The huge sea king class squid was instantly killed, and countless ink was discharged from its body.

There was no place for Xia Luo to land.

He could only step on its body.

Seeing that their leader was instantly killed, the other two sea kings also flicked their tails and plunged into the sea, disappearing instantly from Xia Luo's keen Observation Haki.

Xia Luo stepped on the floating squid corpse and looked at the pitch - black sea around him.

He had killed five sea kings, and the rest had run away.

Looking at the messy sea surface, Xia Luo plopped down on the squid's body.

Continuous high - intensity outbursts had taken a great toll on his physical strength, and he was extremely tired.

Xia Luo sat on the squid's corpse and didn't call his subordinates to pick him up. Instead, he was recovering his strength.

Moreover, the sea was full of the corrosive ink of the squid, so Xia Luo didn't dare to ask them to drive the boat over.

After about half an hour, the ink on the sea finally faded a bit.

Only then did Xia Luo wave his hand towards the four ships.

The lookouts on the four ships, who had been observing all the time, immediately saw Xia Luo's signal.

Immediately, one ship sailed out from the four ships and slowly headed towards Xia Luo.

Before long, Xia Luo jumped onto the ship.

"Quick! Drag these sea king corpses up and leave this area of the sea immediately."

After Xia Luo got on the ship, he immediately started giving orders.

He was afraid that if they stayed here for too long, those large sea kings would come.

He was already struggling to deal with those hundreds of meters long ones. If a thousand - meter - long one came, Xia Luo might as well just give up.

"Yes! Boss!"

A dozen crew members on the ship threw out hooks one after another, hooked the sea king corpses, and then steered the ship towards their other three ships.

There were only a dozen people on the four ships, so the action was a bit slow.

It wasn't until the four ships were connected that they towed four sea kings towards their island.

There were originally five, but one of them was contaminated by the squid's ink, and Xia Luo didn't dare to take it back to eat.

The four ships quickly left this area of the sea.

And this area of the sea returned to tranquility.

It was as if nothing had happened.

The navigator was in charge of watching the route.

Xia Luo wasn't worried that the ship would go off - course.

At this moment, Xia Luo was sitting at the dining table, gobbling up food.

He needed to replenish his energy.

Although they had hunted four sea kings this time, they hadn't achieved their predetermined goal.

However, considering that the sea kings might come back, Xia Luo decided to return.

Moreover, although the number of sea kings hunted this time seemed small, their sizes were extremely large.

They were all around a hundred meters long, which would be enough for Xia Luo to eat for a month.

After a month, Xia Luo would bring people here to hunt again.

Overall, this sea voyage was very successful.

They had captured a very new pirate ship and the bounties worth more than ten million. They could send someone to the Navy G - 8 Branch to exchange for the rewards later, which would also be a considerable income.

The ship soon reached the island where they had set off.

Looking at the tiny black dot on the horizon, they all knew that was their home.

The moment they saw the island, many young men who were on the sea for the first time burst into tears.

They almost lost their lives this time. If it hadn't been for their boss, they would have been buried in the ocean long ago.

Suddenly, the followers' eyes were filled with admiration as they looked at Xia Luo.

Xia Luo also felt the emotions of his followers but didn't say anything. He continued to gobble up the prepared food.

The ship soon docked in front of the port.

Countless townspeople, dock workers, and merchants crowded around to watch.

Some of them were confused about the origin of the fourth ship, and they were also amazed that there were four giants being dragged behind the four ships.

Yes, in the eyes of these townspeople, the nearly hundred - meter - long Sea Kings were like giants.

If those merchant ships or fishing boats were to encounter these Sea Kings, they would basically end up with their ships destroyed and the crew dead.

It was the first time they had witnessed someone hunting Sea Kings.

After the ship docked, Xia Luo was the first to jump off.

Ivan, who had received the news, had already brought more than twenty big guys in black suits and was standing on the shore.

There were also five pretty maids standing respectfully to one side behind Ivan.

As soon as Xia Luo got off the ship, Ivan immediately stepped forward.

"Boss, how was the trip? You must have got a big haul, right? Why did you come back so early?"

Ivan asked, bowing slightly.

Xia Luo was picking his teeth with a toothpick while pointing behind him.

"Not bad. It was a bit dangerous, but I managed to turn the tables. I got four Sea Kings about a hundred meters long, and seized a pirate ship. You can take the pirate captain's head later and exchange it for some bounty at the nearby G - 8 branch."

Xia Luo said as he walked towards the shore.

Ivan quietly followed beside Xia Luo and took notes.

After Xia Luo finished giving instructions, Ivan said,

"Okay, boss. I'll arrange for someone to do it right away!"

Thanks to Xia Luo, the Wild Wolf Gang was developing very rapidly, and there were many more members. Ivan didn't have to do everything himself anymore.

"Yeah! Go and prepare some food. I'm going to take a bath!"

Xia Luo said again.

Ivan nodded and looked behind him. The five maids following immediately understood and headed towards the villa first.

"Mr. Xia Luo!"

"Mr. Xia Luo!"

Along the way, there were greetings from the townspeople and merchants.

Xia Luo was used to it by now.

"Mr. Xia Luo! The mayor wants to see you!"

Just as Xia Luo was about to go home, a man in a security uniform suddenly appeared and said respectfully to Xia Luo.

Xia Luo knew this man because he often dealt with him because of the Wild Wolf Gang.

"The mayor?"

Xia Luo was a bit confused when he heard this name.

What did the mayor want from him?

Although confused, Xia Luo still followed the security captain.

He also wanted to see what the mayor wanted.

Last time when he eliminated the pirates who came to cause trouble, the mayor didn't even receive him. But today, he was called by the mayor. He was curious about what it was all about.

Waving goodbye to Ivan, Xia Luo followed the security captain away.

Shortly afterwards, the security captain took Xia Luo to a coffee shop.

Xia Luo walked in. He didn't see the mayor, only a middle-aged man covered in jewels.

After the security team captain brought Xia Luo in front of the middle - aged man, he bowed and then stepped back.

"Who are you?"

Xia Luo frowned when he looked at the middle - aged man. He was a bit annoyed.

His intuition told him that this man was not a good person.

"Hahaha, I've long heard that there's a hero on our Cameo Island. This is our first meeting. My name is Randolph Chamberlain. I'm the new mayor of Cameo Island. Nice to meet you, hero of Cameo Island."

Randolph Chamberlain stood up and reached out his hand, wanting to shake hands with Xia Luo.

Xia Luo was also startled after looking at the outstretched hand. Then he reached out and shook it.
