Chapter 255 Private Meeting
"Their subordinates should all be members of the World Government, but they should be the lowest level people. It's not them who are here, but people from the royal family."
After Vic dealt with Zero and the others, he was just about to go find the king to have a chat, so it was a relief when the royal family came over.
"Grandma! What's wrong with you, grandma? Woo woo!" Xiaonan only found out that her grandma was unconscious after Fredek walked into the cabin. She had been in an excited state before that.
Vic and his team eradicated the cancer on the island. This was a big event that the whole country celebrated. Xiaonan was naturally happy. The country was saved and her grandmother was cured. It was a double happiness. However, she didn't expect that her grandmother would fall down the next moment. Xiaonan's mood went through many ups and downs.
"Don't worry, I'm here to take your grandma to see a doctor on our warship. If you're worried, you can go with me." Fredek comforted the tearful little girl.
"Okay! I'll go with you!" Xiaonan came to her senses when she heard about going to see a doctor. She now trusted the people with Rebecca.
"Sister Xiaonan, I'm sorry, I haven't fully developed my abilities yet and haven't cured grandma's illness!"
When Ian saw the old lady fainted, he felt very guilty. He wanted to help but failed to do so completely. Ian's obsession with developing the fruit reached a new level, and this time it was no longer for personal reasons!
"It's okay, Ain. At least grandma felt relaxed during that time, and that's enough. You go find Rebecca and the others, and I'll take care of my grandma!" Xiaonan didn't mean to blame Ain. Instead, she was very grateful. She knew her grandma's pain, and it was a blessing to be able to relieve it for a moment.
"But! Sister Xiaonan, don't you still have a scar on your butt that you want to ask Brother Barnett to treat? Aren't you going to treat it now?"
Ai En's sudden words made Xiao Nan blush. There was a grown man next to him. Even a child couldn't say such embarrassing words. Can't he say it when he got back? It's not like there was no chance to cure it. Xiao Nan really regretted not covering Ai En's mouth in advance.
"Ah! Haha! Well, let's talk about this later! It's more important to treat my grandma first, let's talk about that later, let's go!"
Xiaonan was a little embarrassed and told Fredek to leave quickly, saying that the right thing to do was to stay away from this hateful kid.
It didn't matter to Fredek, it was just a girl's butt, he didn't care much about it.
After Fredek carried the old lady and Xiaonan out of the cabin, Ian quickly ran towards Vic and the others. She didn't want to stay alone.
When Ian ran to Vic, he saw a large group of people appearing at the edge of the ruined flower field. Leading the group was a white-haired old man wearing a crown, followed by several people dressed as ministers wearing hats, and behind them were many soldiers in leather armor.
But everyone looked unhappy and listless. The leather armor seemed a little big on them and looked a little funny. Ian came to Vic silently, grabbed his cloak and observed him secretly.
Vic didn't look back. He reached his hand behind him and gently stroked Ian's head, his eyes always looking at the king in the crowd.
The king was not in a very good spirit either. It was not known whether it was because of his old age or because of the pollen from the fireworks, but the elderly in this country looked more tired than the young people.
People of Xiaonan's age can still work in the flower fields picking flowers and leaves, but older people are nowhere to be seen. They basically stay at home and rarely care about anything happening in the outside world.
The older ones were in even worse shape and were almost all confined to bed. Vic guessed that the pollen from fireworks put a greater strain on the bodies of older people, and they were exposed to these fireworks almost from the very beginning, when they were already quite old. Xiaonan's grandmother almost died.
When the king and his men came to Vic, they all looked at the heads of Zero and the Ninth who had turned back into human form, as well as the bodies of the Third and Fourth. Their bodies were trembling and their eyes were red.
The soldiers' eyes were filled with hatred. The king stepped forward and knelt down in front of Vic without saying anything. The ministers and soldiers behind him followed suit and knelt down.
Vic did not stop it. This was indeed a favor of saving the country. They deserved this kneeling. Seeing that Vic did not say anything, Rebecca did not speak either. Barnett was treating Wendy's injuries and had no energy to pay attention to these things.
However, when Wendy saw this scene, there was a light flashing in her eyes, so dazzling!
"You are the king of this country, right? What are you doing? I killed the protector of your island and destroyed so many flower fields. Are you begging me not to kill again? I am a navy and I will not kill innocent people!" Vic saw that the king did not get up for a long time and asked pretending to be ignorant.
"No! You are our savior hero. Those people deserve to be killed. Well done. They deserve to die. They control all the food and trade on the island.
All the children were imprisoned as hostages, just to force the civilians to plant this evil flower that poisoned humanity.
If this country is gone in a few years, it will be gone forever. You are the heroes and saviors of the kingdom!"
The king still didn't get up. He straightened up and looked up at Vic, his face full of wrinkles and tears.
He looks like a good king, not the greedy one as the fourth brother said. Eyes can't lie. Vic is a little confused. Why is the king completely different from what the fourth brother said? But Xiaonan's grandmother also said that the king has changed?
"This might be a coincidence. We came to the island and just cured an old man's illness, but they kept coming to kill us. We had no choice but to fight back.
Who knew they would be so relentless and determined to kill us? We had no choice but to kill them. We never expected them to be such evil people. We can only say that justice has come to us. All of you, get up!"
While Vic was speaking, he winked at the old king. The old king seemed to understand what he meant. He nodded implicitly, then stood up with everyone.
"No matter what, even if your actions were unintentional, it is a fact that you saved the country. We must thank you very much. However, I have something I want to ask this navy brother in private. I don't know if it is convenient for you!"
The old king looked at Vic and said, with an anxious look in his eyes.
"Okay, let's go to the cabin!"
This was exactly what Vic meant. Vic also had something to ask and something to say.
Rebecca pulled Ain over to Wendy and the others, but she had no intention of approaching them to talk.
"I wonder if you want to ask something by the gesture just now?"
Although the old king had something to ask Vic, he did not speak directly. After arriving at the cabin, he asked Vic instead.
