Reiju had a good idea:
Golden Lion and Garen were both legendary powerhouses. Once they started fighting, it would surely be an earth-shaking battle that neither could break away from. It would probably take days and nights before a winner emerged.
By then, Garen would naturally have no time to worry about her and Yonji, much less take care of the frail Dr. Kentucky.
Then she and Yonji could seize the chance to deal with Kentucky and eliminate any future trouble for good.
Thus, without a second thought, Reiju answered:
"Senior Shiki!"
"That Garen really is on this island. We even fought him a few minutes ago."
"Oh?"
The smile on Golden Lion's face grew increasingly vicious, and the killing intent leaking from him made even Reiju, a veteran mercenary, feel faintly afraid.
"Good!"
"That brat had an admiral by his side before, so I couldn't do anything to him."
"Now that he's alone in the North Blue, let's see whether he can still act so arrogantly in front of me!"
As he spoke, the two ghostly flames in Golden Lion's eyes burned ever brighter:
"He destroyed my body and stole my legacy."
"Today, I'll tear that Garen into a thousand pieces!"
When he said this, there was not a single flaw in Golden Lion's emotions, expression, or tone.
Because this was simply his true nature on display, and what he said was mostly what he truly felt.
Then Golden Lion looked toward Reiju and said casually:
"Little girl, take me there!"
"Uh..."
"Garen is on the island right now. You can see him yourself if you go over there."
Reiju hesitated.
She did not want to appear alongside Golden Lion. She only wanted to provoke Golden Lion and Garen into fighting, then quietly complete her mission.
"That won't do."
