Chapter 2163 The First Encounter with Martin


    As such, everyone surrendered themselves to the feast without any lingering doubts after Martin''s


    continuous reassurance and their inability to reject such high-quality ingredients. They were pleasantly


    surprised that the taste and delectability of the Silver Snow Sturgeon had surpassed that of other


    sturgeons avable in the market even though the Sturgeon had been refrigerated for approximately a


    week.


    Midway through the meal, Martin ordered his subordinates to bring out another Silver Snow Sturgeon,


    which was nearly identical in size to the first one, in order to ensure that all his guests could indulge


    without any concerns. This grand gesture sparked immense jealousy among the guests, who gradually


    shifted their perception of Martin.


    After all, the provision of these rare Silver Snow Sturgeons served as concrete evidence supporting


    Martin''s ims. Excitement filled the air as everyone began envisioning the wealth of gold mines that


    "Martin, let''s have a detailed discussion about Sky Ind and the Cold Trench Ocean?"


    "We''re ready to cooperate with you on this matter. You just have to tell us what we need to do."


    "You know well that the Land of Divinity is undoubtedly at the forefront when ites to maritime


    technology. As such, we''re more than happy to provide our expertise."


    Those who had previously looked down on Martin suddenly became extremely respectful toward him in


    the face of tremendous temptations and interests. Even the elders from the Sky Pce, who had been


    at odds with Martin before, instantly changed their attitudes. They were now demanding the injured


    disciple to make up for his mistake.


    "You idiot brat, I''m so ashamed of your arrogant behavior. Who do you think you are to behave like that


    toward Martin? Apologize to him now. "


    The disciple, who had been injured by the Phoenix, had no choice but to step forward and bow as low


    as he could under the indignant gazes of hispanions.


    "Martin, I deeply regret my disrespectful words earlier. Please forgive me," the disciple apologized


    humbly.


    "Oh, don''t fret over it. We all have moments where words slip out unintentionally. I am not one to hold


    grudges," Martin responded, disying his benevolence.


    The crowd immediately showered him with ttery upon hearing his forgiving words.


    "What an undeniably worthy King of Rivenia. Your magnificence knows no bounds."


    "Your broad-mindedness sets an example for all of us martial arts practitioners. Youngsters, take note


    and learn from Martin, understood?"


    Indeed, money has the power to influence even the most unexpected. Martin maintained a polite


    demeanor as he observed the crowd''s pretentious behavior, feeling nothing but disdain toward their


    disingenuous faces. Still, he knew that he had to dangle a tempting bait to finally hook the big fish.


    ...


    On the opposite side of the world, Matthew finally managed to have a brief reunion with his wife after


    arriving in Eastshire. Regrettably, the couple didn''t even have the opportunity to sit down and share a


    proper meal before he found himself hurrying off to attend Martin''s banquet alongside Master Levi.


    Matthew pretended to doze off during the journey to the banquet, using the time to reflect on the


    information Sasha had shared with him during their brief encounter. Sasha had informed him that


    Mouse had managed to trace Lord Voodoo, although they were uncertain of his whereabouts. The only


    certainty was that Lord Voodoo was still alive after being taken captive.


    He chose to keep the information about Mouse''s findings to himself since he was already suspicious of


    Master Levi''s involvement in the relocation of Lord Voodoo. He needed to keep hisposure


    throughout the journey, so that he would not raise Master Levi''s suspicions in any manner.


    Undeterred, they continued walking toward thergest warship, which was encircled by a fleet of boats.


    As they stepped onto the warship, a man with a majestic Phoenix perched on his shoulder approached


    them.


    "Levi, it''s been too long since ourst meeting!"

    "Martin! Indeed, it has been a considerable length of time. I have eagerly anticipated your invitation,


    and atst, it has arrived."


    Martin burst intoughter upon hearing the remark. "Well, since you never once made an effort to seek


    me out, I decided to take matters into my own hands." The two engaged in a friendly conversation as if


    they were cherished friends reconnecting after a long separation. New chаpter av?ble on

    On the other hand, Martin naturally noticed Matthew''s gaze and turned his attention toward him. Their


    eyes met, and with a brief exchange of nces, they acknowledged each other, as if silently greeting


    one another.
