Chapter 17: Overreaction, Savage Attack
After laughing for a while, Fuya stopped and looked at the boy in front of her curiously. She said, "Are you hungry? Actually, you don't have to eat secretly. Come on, I'll take you to the restaurant."
Olin stopped laughing and took a step forward to pull the squatting boy up.
Unexpectedly, the boy suddenly jumped back like a frightened beast, and his back hit the shelf heavily with a "bang", breaking the shelf into pieces.
At the same time, the boy's eyes instantly turned blood red, filled with cold murderous intent, and he stared at Olin with great vigilance.
The air suddenly became quiet.
The first one to react was the boy himself. As the blood color in his eyes faded, a look of confusion replaced it. Then the boy struggled to swallow the food in his mouth.
Looking at the shelf he had smashed, the boy said in a panic, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to do that."
Olin and Fuya couldn't help but look at each other. They no longer had the mood to have fun. Instead, they saw strong heartache and reluctance in each other's eyes.
The boy's condition is not normal. Such a strong stress reaction is usually only seen in people who have suffered severe mental stimulation.
Fortunately, the boy's thinking seemed to be normal, and this boy was Luke who escaped from the Kingdom of Lafia.
The reason why Lu Kai behaved so strangely was because Olin's aura was too strong, much stronger than Tara's, and far beyond what he could compare to now.
This powerful force caused Lu Kai's instincts to constantly send out strong warnings. Lu Kai, who had already been mentally stimulated for a long time, suddenly exploded uncontrollably when Olin approached him.
However, the kindness emanating from Olin quickly brought him back to his senses, but the shelves behind him were already scattered all over the floor.
"Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you." Olin's tone softened instantly, and he said softly, "You're hungry, aren't you? I'll take you to eat."
Feeling the kindness of the young man and the girl, Lu Kai took a deep breath and nodded.
Seeing this, Olin smiled slightly and led the way consciously. Fu Ya followed. After hesitating for a while, Lu Kai also followed with his head down.
In the flagship restaurant, dishes were served one after another. Lu Kai couldn't control himself and ate voraciously. His eating manners and appetite shocked Olin and Fuya.
They had never seen anyone's desire for food reach such an extent. It was like a starving ghost reincarnated.
Olin and Fuya didn't say a word during the whole process, they just looked at Lu Kai quietly.
Only after Lu Kai had finished the meal for twenty people did he gradually slow down his movements, and then he finally stopped, looking at Olin and Fuya very embarrassedly.
"Are you full? If not, there's more." Fu Ya said very considerately, as if she was afraid that Lu Kai would not eat enough, even though Lu Kai's appetite had already scared her.
"I... am full." Lu Kaiqi wanted to say that he still wanted to eat, but he knew that was just a psychological effect, because his body was indeed full and he felt extremely satisfied.
“By the way, my name is Fuya, and this is my brother Olin.” Fuya introduced herself with a smile.
"My name is Lu Kai."
"How did you get to our ship?" Fu Ya asked curiously.
"Um... I was lurking on the sea not far from the port first, and then I sneaked up after seeing your fleet set sail." Lu Kai answered truthfully.
"Then do you know who we are?"
Lu Kai shook his head.
"Then do you know where we are going?"
Lu Kai shook his head again.
"So do you have somewhere to go?"
Lu Kai finally nodded and said, "I want to go to the Kingdom of Flowers!"
Lu Kai wanted to go to the Kingdom of Flowers naturally to try his luck.
Although Tara said that 'Pointed Cone' Green Pepper had led his main forces to leave the West Sea and head for the Grand Line, and might not come back in a short time, but what if?
By then, as long as Lu Kai makes his relationship with Tara clear, with his strength at this age, he will most likely be able to join the Babao Navy.
By then, with Qingjiao's guidance, Lu Kai's strength will definitely improve faster.
Hearing Lu Kai's words, Fu Ya couldn't help but look at Aolin, and said apologetically: "Little Lu Kai, I'm afraid we can't send you to the Kingdom of Flowers for the time being."
Olin also frowned and said, “Little Luke, you don’t know that our fleet is heading to the Kingdom of Itachisia, which is the opposite direction of the Kingdom of Flowers.
"If it was before, we could have sent you there, but this time the cargo our fleet is transporting can only be stored for two months at most. This round trip...
"But don't worry!" Olin seemed to be afraid that Lu Kai would be sad, and he quickly promised, "Next time I will take a special trip to the Flower Kingdom for trade, and I will definitely send you over."
Lu Kai was not disappointed when he heard this, but was relieved instead, because he could feel that Olin and Fuya really wanted to help.
But if this entire fleet of 12 ships and four or five hundred people were to waste several months just to make a special trip for him, Lu Kai would never accept it even if everyone was willing.
How could he deserve such a great favor for no reason?
For people who work in shipping, time is money.
The brother and sister did not mind him stealing food, and even treated him to a full meal, and were even willing to take him in temporarily, which was a great favor.
If he makes any more demands, it would be sheer ingratitude.
"By the way, little Lu Kai, are you from the Kingdom of Flowers?" Fu Ya asked with concern.
Lu Kai shook his head and said, "No, I have never been to the Kingdom of Flowers."
"Um...then why are you going to the Kingdom of Flowers..." Fuya asked.
"I heard that there are many masters in the Kingdom of Flowers, and I want to go there to learn from them." Lu Kai said seriously.
...
Fuya and Olin were speechless. Could this be a passionate young man who ran away from home?
Because of a conflict with your family, you ran away from home in anger, planning to learn some skills to impress your family?
But at this age...
After hesitating for a while, Fuya couldn't help but ask, "You didn't run away from home?"
Lu Kai smiled and said, "You don't even have a home, so how can you run away from home?"
Fu Ya's heart trembled when she heard this. Although Lu Kai said it with a smile, Fu Ya could still hear the loneliness that was hard to conceal in Lu Kai's tone.
"I'm sorry..." Fu Ya apologized quickly.
Lu Kai shook his head indifferently and said nothing more. Olin and Fu Ya also fell silent, and the atmosphere suddenly became very depressing.
After a long time, Fu Ya finally asked, "Then why did you appear in the sea?"
"I..." For a moment Lu Kai didn't know how to start.
"It's okay, just talk about it when you want to. It's okay if you don't want to talk about it." Fu Ya waved her hand quickly and said very considerately.
"There's nothing to hide, I just escaped."
"Escape?"
"Well, I wanted to seek revenge on my enemies, but I was chased and intercepted by the guards in the high city of the Lafia Kingdom. In the end, I took advantage of the loophole in the opponent's defense and escaped by luck."
Upon hearing Lu Kai's words, Fu Ya's eyes widened immediately, and Olin's face was also full of disbelief.
"Then...then the incident of savages attacking nobles that we heard about in the Kingdom of Lafia these days, was it you who did it?" Fu Ya stood up suddenly and asked quickly.
The incident of the barbarians attacking the nobles? Lu Kai chuckled and nodded.
"Oh my God..." Fu Ya took a deep breath, sat back in the chair, and looked at Lu Kai, who was only seven or eight years old, with disbelief on her face.
