From Pirates to Sweeping the Worlds

Seeing Ain's attitude, Xia Jieren shrugged and didn't care.

Every wrongdoer has his head, and every debtor has his own owner!

It’s all the World Government’s fault for spreading rumors. The World Government will pay a sufficient price in the future.

Following Ain, Xia Jieren came to a simple reception room.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw Zefa holding a can and sucking something.

Seeing this, Xia Jieren thought, "It seems that Zefa's asthma has become very serious."

"You're here!" Putting down the spray in his hand, Zefa raised his eyes and said lightly: "Sit down!"

Xia Jieren smiled and nodded.

After both parties sat down, before Zefa asked about the purpose of their visit, Xia Jieren said straight to the point: "Mr. Zefa, I once again sincerely invite you to join the [Netherlands Kingdom]. You can propose any conditions you want. If you disagree, please give me a firm answer."

Zefa stared at Xia Jieren quietly for a long time before he spoke faintly, "It seems... the situation on the front line of the [Netherlands Kingdom] is very unfavorable."

"That's right!" Xia Jieren admitted openly, "Compared to the deep foundation of the [World Government], the [Netherlands Kingdom] is still far behind, especially in terms of high-end combat power."

Zefa knocked on the table and said in a serious tone: "The Kingdom of the Netherlands, or... what kind of world do you want to create?"

"A world of peace, relative equality and fairness." Xia Jieren looked straight into Zefa's eyes without hesitation.

"Oh~, why is it relatively equal and fair?" Zefa frowned.

Xia Jieren raised the corner of his mouth and said with a hint of sarcasm: "Because absolute fairness and equality do not exist!"

"Everyone has different abilities and contributes differently to the world, so naturally they are treated differently. To force absolute equality and fairness is tantamount to self-destruction."

Hearing this, Zefa fell into deep thought.

Xia Jieren then added: "What I can guarantee is that everyone can have the opportunity to change their own destiny."

"How can you guarantee it? How can you guarantee that you or your descendants will not become the new Celestial Dragons?" Zefa asked back.

Xia Jieren spread his hands and said, "I really can't guarantee it!"

"After all, no matter how much I say, I can't prove that there won't be any unexpected changes in the future."

"But...if it comes to the situation you described, I believe there will be a new hero who can defeat this evil dragon like me."

"Believe in the future!" Xia Jieren said very calmly.

The atmosphere was silent again.

Xia Jieren did not disturb Zefa's meditation and waited quietly.

half an hour.

Zefa raised his eyes and said seriously: "Okay! I agree to join the [Netherlands Kingdom]."

Hearing this, Xia Jieren smiled, while Ain and Binz on the side widened their eyes, "Teacher Zefa!"

Zefa turned his head to look at his two students and sighed, "Alas... Iin, Binz, I don't have much time. Finally, I hope to find a place for you to settle down. The navy is no longer suitable for you."

Ever since the [NEO Navy] accepted funding from the [Kingdom of the Netherlands], the [NEO Navy] could never go back.

The [World Government] is not a fool, and neither is Zephyr.

When Ain, Binz and the others returned to the Navy Headquarters, the best outcome would be that they would be put on ice.

Given the conflict between the [Netherlands Kingdom] and the [World Government], the chances of being attacked are even greater.

"Zeff...Teacher..." Seeing that the teacher was thinking about them, Ain and Binz choked up.

"Are you...willing to join the [Netherlands Kingdom] with me?" Zefa asked with a smile.

After making the decision, Zephad felt relieved.

"Of course! I will always follow Teacher Zefa." Ein and Binz said in unison without hesitation.

Zefa smiled with relief.

It was not until this time that Zefa realized that his greatest achievement at this time was not making a name for himself as the Black-Armed Zefa, nor was it training the three admirals of the navy, but rather having a group of loyal students.

Zefa looked at Xia Jieren with wide eyes and asked, "Please give my students guidance in the future."

Xia Jieren smiled and nodded, "Thank you very much Mr. Zefa for choosing our [Netherlands Kingdom]."

Then, Zefa asked seriously: "What do you need to do to join the [Netherlands Kingdom]? Join the war?"

Xia Jieren shook his head and said, "There is no rush for now. The most urgent thing is to heal your injuries first."

"Can it be cured?" Ian asked anxiously.

"Of course no problem!" Xia Jieren replied affirmatively.

"That's great!" Binz exclaimed happily.

"And...you must wear this thing close to your body!" As he said that, Xia Jieren took out a box from his pocket and handed it to Zefa.

Zefa took it curiously, opened the box, and saw a ring lying quietly in the middle of the box.

"What is this?" Zefa looked at Xia Jieren in confusion.

Xia Jieren explained with a smile: "This is a ring inlaid with [pure gold]. As long as you wear it for a long time, you will have no problem living for another few hundred years."

"【Pure gold】?" When Ian and Binz heard the word pure gold, their eyes widened and they exclaimed in surprise.

Zefa's hand holding the box trembled slightly, and his heart was shaken.

"Is this... true?" Zefa took a deep breath and said in a trembling voice.

Xia Jieren nodded heavily and looked at Zefa with a smile.

"This is too expensive!" Zefa wanted to refuse.

Ain and Binz were immediately anxious, "Teacher Zefa... just accept it! At worst, we will do good things in the future to repay... Xia Jieren... Master."

Xia Jieren consoled him, "Don't worry, Mr. Zefa. This is just a small gift. As long as you make enough contributions, anyone in the [Netherlands Kingdom] will have the opportunity to receive it."

"I'm just giving you an advance. Don't feel any psychological burden."

Hearing this, Zefa exhaled lightly and said in a deep voice: "If that's the case... then... I'll accept it."

Seeing Zefa put on the pure gold ring, Xia Jieren ordered: "The [NEO Navy] will then head to the [Netherlands Kingdom] controlled area. Someone will receive you there."

"You two should take a break for a while and heal your hidden injuries first."

"Okay! Everything is up to you." Zefa nodded heavily.

After discussing some details with Zefa, Xia Jieren said goodbye and left.

Next, he needs to go and recruit Kuzan.

【Volcanic Island】

This is a rare hot spring resort. Even though the world has become so chaotic, the heat here remains undiminished.

According to the information from [Fire Eyes and Golden Pupils], Kuzan is now recuperating on this island.

Xia Jieren has been in a high position for many years and has seen all kinds of scenes. He is no longer surprised by hot springs and the like.

As soon as Xia Jieren landed, he headed straight for his destination.

Arriving in front of a remote, slightly old hotel, Xia Jieren paused and said, "This is it!"
