"Welcome aboard the Skyfish flight. Next stop: Gendaya Royal Court, Trident Archipelago, Origin Island - Eastern Capital Airport. Please take necessary safety precautions..."

Shortly after the sweet announcement, blue energy jets shot out from the bottom of the massive, streamlined aircraft.

Under immense wind pressure, the airflow howled, and gales rose one after another.

With a sharp, explosive sound, the behemoth rapidly ascended into the air, accelerated, and left a conspicuous white shockwave in the sky before disappearing into the sea of clouds.

The first-class cabin was spacious and beautifully decorated. Logo leaned back in his leather seat, tilted his head slightly, and looked out the window at the rapidly receding white clouds.

The old count sat to his right, opposite Caesar and Crassus, who were his rivals. Caesar sat on the side closest to the aisle.

It's funny, these two are always bickering, but they always seem to like being together.

This is probably how best friends get along: they hate each other, yet they're always together.

"Boss, would you like a cup of black tea?" Caesar asked solicitously with a beaming smile.

After transforming into a different kind of True Dragon, Caesar possessed many of the Dragon Clan's abilities, one of which was Polymorph. At this moment, he transformed into a handsome blond-haired, Green Eyes man, without revealing his True Dragon form to avoid attracting attention.

Logo didn't speak, but nodded slightly.

Caesar then looked at the old count and smiled, "Are you also drinking black tea?"

The old count waved his hand. "I don't like tea. Give me a strong drink."

The Gendaya People generally have a fondness for alcohol, and the old count was no exception; he was addicted to alcohol. Logo was a rare exception.

"Alright, you two wait a moment, I'll go prepare it right away." Caesar said, standing up and getting busy at the self-service counter.

"Tch, lackey, bootlicker!" Crassus scoffed, his beard swaying, looking utterly disdainful of associating with Caesar.

Logo glanced at him and said slowly, "Crassus, go see if there are any snacks or anything, and bring some over."

"Okay, boss, just a moment, the snacks will be here soon!"

Having said that, Crassus stood up, strode confidently to the bar, pushed past Caesar who was making tea, and began rummaging through the lockers.

Caesar wasn't annoyed and resorted to his signature move, "Oh, isn't this the noble and virtuous cat gentleman? What? You think I came running here like a puppy just because you said one word, boss?"

"Mind your own business, you rascal! Don't be a busybody."

"A mouse? Huh? You finally admit you're a cat?" Caesar looked shocked and astonished.

Crassus's face darkened; he had been utterly defeated in this verbal sparring match once again.

The conversation between the dragon and the tiger echoed throughout the cabin. Tiffany was overjoyed, holding her own snacks and enjoying them while watching Crassus and Caesar's verbal battle.

Sherlock smiled and shook his head, holding a magic book in his hands, looking every bit the model student.

In this harmonious atmosphere, time slowly passed, and in the blink of an eye, two hours had gone by.

"Attention passengers, this flight has left the airspace of Angedora Bay and entered public airspace. The journey to our next destination is estimated to take another 8 hours..."

"Breaking news! The Frenzied Clamor Pirate Crew have been surrounded and attacked by a multinational coalition force and have fled to the Whirlpool Sea. Anyone with relevant intelligence is welcome to report it to the relevant countries immediately. The reward is as follows..."

The broadcast ended, and the old count, legs crossed, sipped his wine and chuckled, "It seems that Annula and his Frenzied Clamor Pirate Crew are just a rabbit's tail; they won't last long."

Upon hearing this, Logo's brow furrowed as he recalled the information about Annula.

Annula Seka, a humanoid race, hails from a small country in the Light-Bathed Sea. She possesses Transcendent talent, is ruthless, and incredibly lucky, enjoying smooth sailing throughout her life and establishing her own pirate crew at a young age.

Perhaps it was this experience that shaped his unruly and Lawless and Heaven-Defying personality.

This guy first defected to the Winter Empire, becoming the orcs' black glove, and then helped blow up an important stronghold of the Dawn Empire.

The orcs thought, "Wow, this young man is quite capable; we should cultivate him."

Thus, the high command of the Winter Empire waved their hand, and a large amount of supplies and weapons aid flowed into Annula's hands, leading to the rapid development of the Frenzied Clamor Pirate Crew.

Having tasted success, Annula began to frantically help the Winter Empire against the Dawn Empire.

Because he truly possessed a talent for guerrilla warfare, coupled with the protection of the Winter Empire, the Dawn Empire hated him to the core, yet was powerless to do anything about it.

This made Annula even more arrogant, and her subordinates became increasingly reckless, burning, killing, and plundering at sea, committing all sorts of evil deeds. At the same time, the pirate group's reputation also grew, attracting more and more experts from the evil faction to join, and its power expanded rapidly like an inflating balloon.

But, when you walk by the river, you're bound to get your shoes wet.

The rapid development speed is an advantage of the Chaotic Faction, but its disadvantage is also obvious: its subordinates are prone to causing trouble.

The loose internal order could not restrain the rampant ambition and greed of the Frenzied Clamor Pirate Crew members.

Finally, one day, a subordinate force of the pirate crew hijacked the Corte Alliance's fleet and discovered a breathtakingly beautiful High Elf and many ordinary elves on board.

Needless to say, the next day, this High Elf completed her transformation from a young girl to a young woman.

The other spirits were also quickly divided up.

This action undoubtedly enraged the Corte Alliance, which sent men to wipe out the Frenzied Clamor Pirate Crew.

However, by this time, the Frenzied Clamor Pirate Crew were much stronger than before, and the orcs were very protective of their own, so the matter was eventually dropped.

However, unexpectedly, this High Elf gained Annula's trust through feigned intrigue and ultimately escaped successfully.

After that, she rose through the ranks in the Korte Empire, becoming a general and wielding great power. She then began to use various methods to cause trouble for the Frenzied Clamor Pirate Crew.

During the match, both sides had their share of wins and losses, but neither could gain the upper hand.

Normally, after offending the Dawn Empire and the Corte Alliance, two major imperial powers, Annula should behave herself and cling to the Winter Empire.

But what makes this world interesting is that it's filled with all sorts of people.

They are like undercurrents beneath a calm sea; no one knows where they will go next.

Annula soon made a puzzling move. Under the guise of the Crimson Alliance's generous offers, he betrayed the Winter Empire on a certain matter, causing the latter to suffer huge losses.

As everyone knows, straightforward orcs hate betrayal the most.

Annula's actions enraged the high command of the Winter Empire, who dispatched a large number of powerful warriors to eliminate Annula.

However, the Crimson Alliance proved to be reliable, and under the Alliance protection, Annula ultimately weathered the crisis.

Perhaps this guy realized he had offended too many people, so he decided to leave Planet Oklo.

With the approval of the Crimson Alliance, Annula led her Frenzied Clamor Pirate Crew away from Planet Oklo, becoming a space pirate and acting as the Crimson Alliance's black glove.

If things ended there, it wouldn't be surprising.

However, Annula's ability to cause trouble is, undeniably, exceptional.

Not long after, this guy offended the Soaring Dragon Empire of Planet Vist again and was chased back to Planet Oklo.

As one of the five high-magic planets, even if the various forces on Planet Oklo dislike Annula, they would never allow the powerful figures of the Soaring Dragon Empire to enter the planet to enforce the law.

The Soaring Dragon Empire had no choice but to give up in resentment.

After returning to his hometown, Annula went back to his old ways, relying on the Crimson Alliance to continue being a pirate.

But for some reason, not long after, Annula caused another incident of crazy Dragon Hunting, specifically targeting young dragons of the Gold Dragon and Silver Dragon races, resulting in the deaths of at least thirty Dragon Clan.

Dragon Island is furious!

The old dragons are going absolutely crazy.

Even though the Crimson Alliance and Dragon Island are mortal enemies, they have never dared to do such a thing.

After all, nobody wants a complete breakdown in the outcome.

Annula's actions were a devastating blow to the Dragon Clan.

Unless a full-scale war breaks out, assassinations of the younger generation by opposing forces are conducted within limits.

Annula's actions prompted the Crimson Alliance to quickly sever ties with him and secretly express to the Dragon Clan their willingness to help Dragon Island capture criminals.

This was originally intended as diplomatic rhetoric to comfort the Dragon Clan, but Annula took it seriously.

Enraged, Annula blew up an important laboratory of the Crimson Alliance.

Along with them, more than a dozen Mage from the Tia Empire were also killed.

Recalling this, Logo's lips twitched.

There are only six major imperial-level powers on Planet Oklo, and this guy named Annula has managed to offend them all by himself.

He was very curious: how did this guy, who was courting death, manage to survive until now?

Caesar and Crassus, seeing their usually calm and collected leader looking as if he'd seen a ghost, were quite curious and pressed him for details.

Logo then told them about Annula and the Frenzied Clamor Pirate Crew ' "glorious deeds".

Upon hearing this, Crassus exclaimed, "Wow!"

Caesar clicked his tongue in disapproval, "That guy named Annula, really! He won't drink when his older brother offers him a drink, he turns the table when his older brother picks up food. He's incredibly stubborn, the number one stubborn kid on Planet Oklo, no doubt about it!!"

"It is said that Annula has amassed a vast fortune through years of burning, killing, and looting. If we could obtain it, that would be wonderful," the old count remarked.

Crassus's eyes lit up. "How about we send someone to scout it out? Anyway, the Whirlpool Sea is right next to the Xiya Archipelago, and there's a passage from the Underdark to the Xiya Archipelago, isn't there?"

Caesar rolled his eyes, scoffed, and said, "What are you thinking? The Frenzied Clamor Pirate Crew have offended so many forces and haven't been wiped out yet. There must be Epic expert in charge, and most likely more than one. There might even be Demigod hiding inside. If we go up there with our strength, wouldn't we just be offering ourselves up as food?"

Crassus retorted, "If we can't get meat, at least we can have some soup, right? And who knows, we might even get some good stuff."

Caesar was about to speak again, but Logo frowned and said, "Alright, you two stop arguing. I have my own plans for this."

With the leader speaking, neither the dragon nor the tiger dared to say anything more, but their eyes widened as they stared at each other, their gazes shifting and their expressions changing, as if they were exchanging barbs in their own unique way.

Logo ignored the two men and, after a moment's thought, made his decision.

"Let Yarwei and the others handle this matter; it's the mercenary group's first mission."

Half a month ago, Logo sent Yarwei and Windsor back to prepare skilled members of the Dark Elf Clan, intending to have them form a force belonging to the family's dark side, acting as the family's black gloves.

One of the great advantages of the Dark Elf of the Underdark is their secrecy; no one knows where they come from, allowing them to do many things that their families cannot do openly.

As for the means to control these Dark Elf, Logo had already made all the necessary preparations.

First, only send out Dark Elf with families; those with attachments are the easiest to control.

Second, let them take alchemical poison. Logo never expected loyalty from the Dark Elf, so he didn't mind using ruthless methods. Some races always fear power more than virtue, so this method might be more effective.

Third, plant a traitor and let everyone know of the traitor's existence, so that they will distrust each other. Once their thoughts cannot be unified, betrayal will be out of the question.

Fourth, the lure of resources; the Black Blood Potion is the most typical example.

If Logo were to use four binding methods in combination and still choose to betray Dark Elf, Logo would consider himself unlucky.

"Judging by the time, there are only five days left before the Dark Elf mercenary group is released from the Underdark. Hopefully, they can assess the situation..."

After chatting for a while, the old count changed the subject to the clan gathering.

Every five years, the Gendaya clans, scattered across various regions, would gather in the Eastern Capital with abundant resources and outstanding young men, under the coordination of the Royal Court.

The purpose of this gathering is as follows.

First, select talent and concentrate resources on training them.

Secondly, the various clans exchanged resources and helped each other, especially the clans that Outposted Faction.

Some clans thrived, while others suffered greatly. Mutual assistance helped the clans establish themselves in this cruel world.

Third, for Slaughter Knight to break through to Legendary, they need to return to the Eastern Capital, undergo the baptism of the Sea of Slaughter, and awaken their Legendary- level professional abilities.

Fourth, the Martial Arts Tournament.

This is a grand battle for the Transcendent.

The Martial Arts Tournament held by the Gendaya Royal Court is very famous throughout the entire Planet Oklo. At its peak, forces from all over the plane would send people to participate, making it an unprecedented spectacle.

Although the Gendaya Tribe has declined, their Martial Arts Tournament is still considered one of the fairest and most just competitions.

Because the Gendaya People hold an almost pious attitude towards Combat Skills, they absolutely do not allow any underhanded tactics.

Therefore, the Gendaya Martial Arts Tournament, held every five years, is a grand event on Origin Island, attracting Transcendent professionals from all over the planet and even from different planes.

The Gendaya Royal Court can earn an extremely substantial income solely from the broadcasting fees of this event, not to mention the service industry development it stimulates.

For Logo, this Martial Arts Tournament also had another important significance: to make a name for himself throughout the Royal Court.

"It's said that the White Wolf Kingdom has sent their Sword of the Kingdom to this Martial Arts Tournament, and the Dawn Empire also has a so-called super genius participating. It seems they're preparing to humiliate our race again." The old count sighed, a complex look flashing in his eyes, especially when he spoke of the White Wolf Kingdom.

Seeing this, Logo placed his hand on the old count's knee, smiled slightly, and said, "Don't worry, this time, it's different..."
