CHAPTER 134
Kramer's words only confirmed his bad premonition.
"Captain! It's bad news!"
"Franco and Harry were both defeated by Vilin — they're probably already dead!"
Hearing Kramer's report, Blite's body shot upright. His eyes burned with rage as he stared at Kramer.
"How is that possible?" "Absolutely impossible!" "You were three people — and only you escaped back!"
Seeing Blite explode with fury, Kramer hurriedly explained the entire operation.
After hearing Kramer's detailed account, Blite gradually calmed down.
Learning that Vilin's strength had surged dramatically in this period and now reached Quasi-Admiral level, Blite's expression immediately turned grave.
He fell into deep conflict.
Thinking back to the five monsters who had previously besieged him — all now at Quasi-Admiral level — he couldn't help but feel worried.
He sensed that the Rocks Pirates had grown far too powerful. Moreover, this failure had cost him two executives, which made Blite's heart ache intensely.
While Blite was deep in thought devising countermeasures, Vilin had already returned to Cake Island aboard the Flying Bird.
Cake Island, inside a luxurious castle.
Vilin had been back for over ten days now. What surprised him was that Rocks still showed no movement.
Vilin didn't mind — he simply continued his daily routine, living quite leisurely.
The next day, Vilin walked around the castle with the pregnant Shakky in his arms, then headed toward the castle where Rouge, Olvia, and the other women lived.
As soon as he entered, Vilin saw his women chatting and playing cards, bursts of cheerful laughter ringing out from time to time.
Seeing Rouge and Olvia sitting on the sofa talking, Vilin walked over with Shakky, planning to join their conversation.
Seeing Vilin arrive, warm smiles appeared on Rouge's and Olvia's faces.
Vilin approached the sofa where the two women sat with Shakky, ready to chat together.
"Come on, the weather is nice today — let me take you all out for a walk!"
Hearing Vilin's invitation, Rouge and Olvia felt tempted and immediately stood up.
Just as Vilin was about to leave with the three women, Otohime suddenly came down the stairs.
"Wait for me!"
Reaching Vilin, Otohime directly jumped onto his shoulder and flashed him a sweet smile.
Vilin couldn't help smiling wryly at Otohime's antics.
Vilin's family arrived at the spacious, tidy garden and saw the four little ones playing happily.
Seeing Rouge arrive, Shirayuki showed a pure, innocent smile.
"Auntie Rouge!"
Seeing Shirayuki so well-behaved, Rouge couldn't help rubbing her head.
"Little Shirayuki, want to come play outside with us?"
Hearing Rouge's invitation, Shirayuki thought for a moment and politely declined.
"Thank you, Auntie Rouge!" "My mom is waiting for me to go back!"
"Alright then!" "Tell your mom to come visit often when she's free!"
"Mm~"
Watching Shirayuki run toward Kat's house, Rouge and Olvia directly took Naz and Robin by the hands.
Vilin also picked up Esdeath from Aurora's arms.
Feeling the warmth in Vilin's embrace, Esdeath quietly settled down, resting peacefully against him.
With the children in tow, Vilin's family headed outside.
Naz and Robin, the two little rascals, held Rouge's and Olvia's hands while mischievously playing around — though they were quickly subdued by the two women.
As Vilin's family stepped onto the bustling streets, they were soon captivated by the lively and prosperous scenery.
Looking at the island that had become even more vibrant and beautiful, happy smiles appeared on their faces.
But Vilin always felt something was missing from this island.
Soon he realized the key issue — the entertainment facilities were far too lacking.
This made him involuntarily turn his gaze toward Shakky.
"Shakky, don't you think the entertainment facilities here are really too scarce?"
Hearing Vilin's words, Shakky fell into thought.
After a moment, she nodded in agreement.
"So what should we do?"
"How about we directly find a professional to design it?" "You're well-connected anyway." "Have your people check where the best entertainment cities are built." "Just find a designer who specializes in entertainment venues." "The entertainment industry here will definitely make a fortune."
Hearing the word "money," Shakky's eyes instantly lit up.
"No problem." "Leave all matters related to this project to me from now on." "I'm going to spread entertainment venues across the entire Atlan Sea!" "And these entertainment spots are perfect for gathering intelligence too."
"Alright then, I'll leave this to you." "You can recruit all the personnel yourself."
"Hahahaha, no problem — leave it to me with confidence!"
"Oh, by the way, you can have Annie accelerate the growth of an Al-Mangrove tree on one of the nearby islands around Cake Island!" "We can directly build a Bubble Park in the New World!"
Hearing Vilin's idea, Shakky couldn't help showing a look of longing.
After the two finished their discussion, Vilin and the others continued strolling.
Ever since the Aitrias Pirates settled here, the area around Cake Island had become increasingly safe.
This also caused immigration to Cake Island to rise steadily.
Nowadays, the Aitrias family already wielded tremendous influence across the Atlan Sea. If Vilin wanted to fully occupy this place, the islanders would almost certainly support him wholeheartedly.
While they were strolling, Shakky's Den Den Mushi suddenly rang.
Bru~ Bru~
As Shakky answered the Den Den Mushi, her expression turned grave.
"Vilin, Rocks has left Beehive Island!"
Just as Shakky's words fell, Vilin's Den Den Mushi also rang.
Soon a somewhat manic laughter came from it.
"Hahahahaha! Hahahahaha!" "Vilin, I've decided — we're going to make a move on the Iron Wall Pirates!" "This time, our gathering point will be Toren Island in the central New World!"
Hearing Rocks' words, Vilin immediately agreed.
"Got it — I'll prepare."
"Hahahahaha!" "This time the Rocks Pirates will become the true overlord of the New World!" "Hahahahaha!"
As the Den Den Mushi fell silent, a grave expression appeared on Vilin's face.
"It's finally coming?"
Just as Vilin gripped his fist with some excitement, Shakky suddenly handed him a newspaper.
Taking the newspaper from Shakky, Vilin saw a striking headline:
Roger Pirates break through Navy pursuit and enter Sabaody Archipelago! Roger Pirates are about to enter the New World! Will they become another overlord after the Rocks Pirates?
