After finishing his sentence, the masked man ignored the remaining people and flew towards the main ship using Geppo. The criminal had been captured, and he believed there were no other accomplices. However, this was not his decision; whether to stay or leave was up to the leader of the Holy Knights. Therefore, he needed to report the current situation to them.
The masked man quickly arrived at the warship's cabin and truthfully informed Renka of the entire situation, including a vivid account of how the men had surrendered without resistance. He only needed to explain the situation; Renka could handle the judgment.
"Although they surrendered voluntarily without resistance, is it possible that this was to cover up the mastermind among them?"
Wasn't that woman pleading for the people on the island? The main culprit might still be hiding on the island; wouldn't this organization just rise again after we leave?
Even if we capture everyone and there are no hidden individuals left, is it possible that they have already leaked the research?
This is extremely important to us Celestial Dragons; we can't afford the slightest mistake. We can't let go of anyone on the island who might know anything, no matter how small. Detain these few people on the warship first, then interrogate them later. As for the rest of the island... leave no one alive! Send men over!"
After listening to the masked man's report, Renka said calmly, "Every three years, the Celestial Dragons destroy an island and wipe out all the people on it, as well as the Celestial Dragons they have abandoned."
He felt no sympathy or pity for the destruction of the island; instead, he felt a hidden excitement, because he had already stood up after speaking, ready to participate personally.
This is why he was certain that Vic would come to the island. Before coming, he had already planned to wipe out everyone on the island, and then lure Vic, who opposed the plan, to the island so that the two could have an epic battle!
The masked man made a phone call to all the commanders on the warships and sent most of them to the island, leaving only a few people on the warships in case anyone tried to swim away.
If anyone witnesses the massacre on the island and is too terrified to try to escape by swimming, those on the warship will not hesitate to shoot them dead. No one will be spared. This is the cruel consequence of one sentence from Renka, the Celestial Dragons!
"You don't need to send anyone to follow me. I'll naturally return when I've had my fill."
Renka said something to the other CP0 member beside him and then used Geppo to fly towards the center of the island. With his strength, he didn't need anyone's protection at all; having someone by his side would only be a burden and affect his killing mood.
" Barnett! Who was that person who flew away? I didn't expect them to have another powerful member. Three powerful individuals and they still wouldn't dare fight Vic?"
With so many people deployed, haven't the criminals been caught yet? And who are those people tied up on the shore?
Rebecca and her team on the warship's deck noticed Renka flying away. They could sense the powerful aura emanating from Renka, but they had never seen him before. He wasn't wearing a white suit and cape, nor was he in a black suit; he seemed somewhat out of place among the other agents.
"I don't know them either. It was that masked man who came to talk to me when something happened. I've never been on their ship!"
They didn't specify who the criminals were, but those few should be the ones; they're already being transferred to the warship. As for why so many people were sent to the island, it's probably because there are still some who haven't been caught!
Barnett was also clueless, as the masked man hadn't told him what the specific mission was; he could only offer a wry smile and speculate.
The group was merely curious; they were essentially bystanders on this mission, though some were itching to participate. So, apart from Vic, everyone else stayed on deck to watch the spectacle.
But the more they looked at them, the uglier their expressions became. Some people who tried to force their way into the sea were shot dead by the agents!
Moreover, more and more civilians have gathered on the beach, as if a ferocious beast has appeared in the center of the island. The civilians have been driven to the shore, and many have rushed into the sea without regard for anything else.
There were too many people. Even with the agents firing continuously, many managed to escape. Many had already swum close to the warship. Apart from the people on the Vic warship, the agents on the other warships were shooting at civilians who approached the warship. This scene stunned Rebecca and her companions, and their anger rose steadily!
" Flying Finger Pistol!"
"What's going on with you guys? Didn't we tell you to take precautions? How did so many people swim outside the blockade line? Now you don't need to arrest anyone. Shoot anyone who tries to escape. Get all the naval personnel on the warships moving! This is an order from the World Government!"
The masked man from CP0 saw many people swim out of Vic's blockade of the warship, while the navy on the warship did not make any move.
So he flew directly to their warship using Geppo, and with a series of flicks of his fingers, shot down all the civilians who swam out of the circle and showed their heads, then gave Barnett and the others a good scolding.
Because the marines on the Vic warship did not shoot civilians, more civilians swam in that direction. If left unchecked, more and more people would escape the encirclement. If even a portion of them survived, the World Government's actions would be publicized.
Every time the World Government destroys an island, it covers it up. Like the God Valley Incident more than 20 years ago, very few people know about it, and it was suppressed in the newspapers. Although the World Government has always been eliminating dissidents, it is also very careful about its reputation. Generally, it kills people to silence them and eliminates them completely!
"Get out of my way! What gives you the right to order us around? We only listen to Vic! Barnett! Go wake Vic up. He's too engrossed in his training and knows nothing about what's happening on the island. I don't believe he'll just sit idly by and watch all this!"
Rebecca was already furious at the sight of the civilians being shot, and now this masked man was ordering them to kill again. How could she possibly stand it? She immediately yelled back, and didn't forget to ask Barnett to wake up Vic, still retaining some rationality to prevent her from going berserk!
"Good!"
Barnett was also furious, but things had gotten out of control. He thought they were just playing a supporting role, but instead they were launching a major attack, ordering them to slaughter civilians. He couldn't get over that, and he wanted to inform Vic as soon as possible!
"Calling anyone else won't help; this is a mission assigned by the World Government, and Dark Dragon must carry it out!"
The masked man from CP0 did not stop Barnett, because it was a mission from the World Government, and even the Fleet Admiral of the Marine Headquarters would have to carry out the order.
The masked man knew he could no longer command the navy; he could only personally shoot the ever-increasing number of civilians.
" Vic! Something terrible has happened! This time, it seems they're coming to massacre the entire island!"
