Now, the physical accounts have been mostly settled.

So next, we should consider the psychological aspect.

"Really?!"

Upon hearing Lin Yan's words, Little Hancock's eyes immediately lit up with surprise.

After all, it was for this moment that she suppressed her fear and did not run away with Fisher Tiger, but instead stayed in this terrifying place!

Now, I can finally go save my sister!

For a fleeting moment, a look of bewilderment crossed Little Hancock's face, but then her eyes filled with intense emotion as she looked at Lin Yan.

All hope comes from this older brother in front of me...

"Alright, let's go."

Seeing Little Hancock's almost tearful expression, Lin Yan couldn't help but smile knowingly.

She truly lives up to her title as the future Empress of Amazon Lily.

At such a young age, she possesses such courage and gratitude. Lin Yan believes that if this tragic experience were erased from her life, Boa Hancock's future achievements would be even greater.

So, what happened next is pretty self-explanatory.

After leaving the looted Celestial Dragons' treasure vault, the journey was uneventful.

Before long, the two arrived at the residential area of the Celestial Dragons in Mary Geoise.

"..."

However, Lin Yan's expression darkened.

The reason is quite simple.

At this very moment, every Celestial Dragons's residence was guarded by a varying number of guards, and these guards were clearly not ordinary people, exuding a powerful aura.

"Tsk... Looks like I'm not too stupid after all."

Lin Yan couldn't help but smack her lips.

It's obvious.

After the previous chaos, some of Mary Geoise's guards should be digging deep for themselves.

The other group came here to protect the Celestial Dragons.

That's why Lin Yan and Little Hancock didn't see any guards when they went to the vault.

Feelings are guarded here...

But that's only to be expected.

The entire Holy Land Mary Geoise exists solely for the Celestial Dragons.

The Celestial Dragons are the true core here.

The slaves escaping only caused the World Government to lose face, but what if something happens to the Celestial Dragons here...?

The consequences are self-evident.

"Big, big brother... what should we do?"

Seeing the menacing guards at the mansion's gate, Little Hancock quickly panicked and helplessly tugged at Lin Yan's sleeve.

"... It seems we'll have to wait a while longer."

Lin Yan couldn't help but sigh.

With his strength, it's not impossible for him to force his way in, but under the protection of such a powerful force, it would be very difficult to protect Little Hancock.

Even Lin Yan wouldn't dare to make a guarantee.

You have to understand that Little Hancock is practically defenseless right now. If anything happens to him, Lin Yan won't even have time to cry.

Moreover...

"I don't believe you can stay on guard forever."

Looking at the guards constantly patrolling around her, Lin Yan's face showed a cold smile.

As the saying goes, even the most meticulous plans can have a flaw.

No one can stay vigilant forever, not even these trained agents. Once the turmoil in Mary Geoise subsides, these people will inevitably become complacent.

And when that time comes, it will be his chance to strike with lightning speed!

Thinking of this, Lin Yan turned to look at Little Hancock.

"Sorry, Little Hancock, now doesn't seem like a good time to act. Could you wait a little while?"

"Okay, I'll listen to my big brother."

Seeing Lin Yan's calm demeanor, Little Hancock gradually calmed down as well. After thinking for a moment, he nodded his little head heavily.

She is a very intelligent girl.

He understood that if he asked Lin Yan to help at this moment and failed, not only would he himself be harmed, but the older brother in front of him would also be in danger.

Little Hancock. would absolutely not allow this to happen!

Therefore, she could only suppress her longing for her sister and her hatred for the Celestial Dragons, and quietly wait for an opportunity.

"... Isn't this child a little too mature?"

Seeing the hint of determination on Little Hancock's face, Lin Yan couldn't help but scratch his head. While he did like well-behaved children, wasn't this just a little too heartbreaking?

Thinking of this, Lin Yan sighed and reached out to pat Little Hancock's head.

"Don't worry, it won't be long."

"Yes, I believe in my older brother..."

Little Hancock nodded quietly, taking one last look at the Celestial Dragons ' living area, as if she wanted to etch it all into her mind.

After finishing this task, Little Hancock turned around and tugged at Lin Yan's sleeve.

"Big brother, let's leave now."

"..."

Lin Yan didn't speak, but sighed softly. Then she picked up the Little Hancock in front of her, and transformed into a bolt of lightning, disappearing from the spot in an instant.

Three days later, in Holy Land Mary Geoise.

"Still haven't found them?"

The former CP leader now sits in his spacious office, coldly looking at his subordinates below, a hint of murderous intent flashing in his eyes.

Three days!

It's been three whole days!

Still nothing found!

Not only were they completely unaware of the culprits who unleashed their powers and caused chaos in Mary Geoise, they also failed to stop the escaped slaves.

Utter disgrace!

This is an absolute disgrace!

If she weren't quite well-mannered, she would have sworn out at this moment.

Even so, the CP leader's gaze towards his subordinates remained extremely cold.

It was as if they were looking at a group of dead people.

"Is this person some kind of ghost that appeared out of thin air? We've mobilized so many people and still haven't found anything... Tell me, what use are you all to me?"

"..."

The agents standing below were all pale-faced, and none of them dared to utter a word.

After all, their leader may have a gentle expression, but anyone who knows him even a little knows just how cruel and ruthless he really is.

"Alright, you can all leave now. Supervise the reconstruction of Cell Number One."

After a while, seemingly getting annoyed, the CP leader waved his hand, dismissing his subordinates.

The agents, as if granted a pardon, quickly left, as if their leader were some ferocious beast.

However, what they failed to see was...

Watching them leave, the man's eyes were devoid of any emotion.

The indifference was frightening...
