Under one person: I will add money to become a layman, working from 9 to 5

"Okay, Xiao Zhou, I get it. Well done. I've asked Mr. Huang to pick you up. We'll talk about other things after we return home."

Zhao Fangxu, who had figured it out, said to Zhou Fengliu.

"Understood, Mr. Zhao."

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Fengliu briefly summarized what he had gained from his trip to Nason Island to collect wages.

In addition to the one million US dollars recovered from King Nathan and the bonus for this mission, there is still a lot of gold and US dollars in his bag, plus the immovable land of the entire island of Nathan Island... It can be said that he has made a fortune.

...

Just as Zhou Fengliu was talking to Zhao Fangxu, King Nathan and others finally shifted their attention from Zhou Fengliu's hand-made Qi-guided missiles to sink the Behemoth aircraft carrier.

Now there is a question that King Nathan and Nathan Wei have not figured out...

That is...who broke the golden branch?

Although the sacred tree was uprooted and destroyed with the appearance of Zhou Fengliu, it was still strange that the golden branch was broken under the supervision of a group of Nasen guards.

Unless the person who broke the golden branch was very powerful and could evade the surveillance of so many Nasen guards, sneak into the royal city and come to the sacred tree to break the golden branch...

Otherwise, it would be impossible for ordinary people to sneak into the royal city quietly.

Several Nason guards chatted in front of King Nason, wondering whether the person who broke the golden branch was Behemoth's man, or a traitor within Nason Island.

Listening to the conversation of several people, the expression on Elijah's face changed slightly.

The sacred tree is gone. As a traitor from Nathanwei, I need to be more sincere, right?

Elijah asked himself in his heart.

Although the sacred tree was not destroyed in his hands, his act of betraying Nathan and breaking the golden branch was real.

He could just pretend nothing had happened and continue to be his Nathan...

But...the trees are gone, what is there to do with Wei?

Elijah, who decided to self-destruct, spoke calmly in front of everyone:

“I folded it.”

"?"

Hearing his words, the several Nathan guards present were all stunned and did not react for a while.

"Elijah, what are you talking about?"

"I said...I broke the golden branch with my own hands, and became the challenger of the king."

Elijah stretched out his left hand as he spoke, and a branch emitting golden light appeared in everyone's sight.

It also appeared in front of Zhou Fengliu who had just returned from a phone call.

"!!!"

The moment they saw the golden branch, all the Nathan guards present felt as if their cerebellum was atrophying.

The traitor... is right next to them?!

The most loyal guard! He actually did not protect the king of Nathan, but became the king's challenger? This is really the first time in Nathan's history.

Everyone was speechless after seeing Elijah's self-destructive behavior.

"Elijah, tell me...why?"

King Nathan looked at the golden branch in Elijah's hand with mixed feelings. She suppressed her anger and asked Elijah if he had any difficulties.

Facing King Nathan's questioning, Elijah took a long breath, looked at the somewhat gloomy sky of Nathan Island, and told a story as if he was reminiscing.

He was indeed dissatisfied with Nathan Island and the operating rules of the tree, but if it weren't for that incident, he might have hesitated for a long time before taking action.

...

After Elijah's story, everyone present learned that there was a group of very crazy people from China who were trying to get Elijah to take them to land on Nason Island and take away a man named Seventeen.

Elijah did not agree.

After all, the rule between Nasen Island and the outside civilized world is that once you step onto Nasen Island, you automatically become a resident of Nasen Island and cannot leave the island again.

However, after being rejected by Elijah, this group of Shenzhou people came up with an even crazier idea, which was... to break the golden branch.

By forcibly utilizing the rules of Nasen's succession to the throne, open Nasen Island, and thus bypass the rules of Nasen Island.

After learning of the group's thoughts, Elijah, as a Nathan guard, naturally killed them in an attempt to put an end to this crazy idea.

It's just that... this group of Shenzhou people seemed to be brainwashed and not afraid of death. They threatened Elijah and said something:

"If you have the ability, just kill them all. There will be a constant stream of people trying to break the golden branch, and they will become stronger and stronger until we break the golden branch first."

Elijah, who had dealt with this group of people, knew how crazy they were and that what they said would never be spoken casually.

So... because of the existence of this group of people, Elijah made a decision that went against Nathan Island, that is, he broke the golden branch himself, brought the seeds of destruction to Nathan, and openly let the civilized world pay attention to Nathan Island...

As long as he destroyed the sacred tree, the rules built around the sacred tree would be gone, and no one would be able to threaten Nasen Island with such a ridiculous reason as breaking the golden branch to find someone.

Dig up the roots!

Rather than letting the ambitious Behemoth take advantage of the opportunity when the Shenzhou people broke the golden branch and opened up the island to invade Nasen Island, it is better to let him be the chess player in this game.

Provide clues to Behemoth, thereby confusing Behemoth's people and ultimately destroying the sacred tree.

Enter the game with your own body, break the game with your own body...

Elijah was willing to perish with the sacred tree, and the sacred tree responded to him and did not regard his breaking of the golden branch as a betrayal.

...

After listening to Elijah's story, Zhou Fengliu, as a bystander, felt more and more that the group of Shenzhou people who threatened Elijah looked like those brainwashed by Qu Tong...

Qu Tong is also a talented person.

For Ruan Feng, he first sent people to threaten Nasenwei, and then sent people to the island to find...

In the end? He was the mantis stalking the cicada, while the oriole was waiting behind, and reaped the fruits of victory.

When Zhou Fengliu thought of this, he suddenly felt a little bit like an inhuman.

...

Just as Zhou Fengliu was guessing, King Nathan, who had heard the story, could not control himself and stared at Elijah and began to speak:

"Just because of the coercion of a madman, you are going to destroy the sacred tree with your own hands..."

"As a Nasen Guardian, aren't you betraying the sacred tree? You're also betraying the king?!"

Listening to King Nathan's question, Elijah asked back:

"What else? Should I allow them to take the islanders away? Do you think this behavior is more acceptable?"

Queen Nathan found it difficult to empathize with Elijah, so she answered:

"Let them break the branches! Protect the king and kill the ones who break the branches. This is your duty as the Nasen Guards!"

Elijah's behavior is like playing a MOBA game. Just because the enemy hero wants to push his crystal, before the enemy can push to the doorstep, he blows up his own crystal...

And he even put it in a nice way: As long as I blow up my house, no one can blow up our house again!

If this isn’t the posture of a “sleeping dragon”, then what is?

Listening to King Nathan's words, Elijah shook his head and then said:

"The behavior of that group of people is totally unpredictable. I cannot believe that they broke the golden bough just to find someone's guarantee."
