Chapter 5420
A few days ago, Archfiend Antigonus had forced Morticia to confess that the baby's father
was Darryl. Archfiend Antigonus was furious at the time, but he could not bear the thought
of executing Morticia. Finally, he locked Morticia in the ship and assigned Forsythe to
guard her.
Forsythe had just arrived at the harbor. He was gloating when he noticed the guards still
guarding the ship. Fortunately, the Eternal Life Palace Sect and the others concentrated
their efforts at the Wishing Star Tower, and no one paid attention to the boats.
Forsythe picked up speed and boarded one of the ships.
"Leader Forsythe," the Dragon Sea Palace elites guarding the ship called out respectfully,
each with a complex expression.
That was because they saw Forsythe's body was stained with blood, and he looked weak.
They presumed he must be hurt.
"Leader Forsythe." After they had greeted him, one of the disciples came running up to
Forsythe's side and carefully asked, "Are you okay? What happened at the Wishing Star
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtTower?"
The harbor was not far away from the Wishing Star Tower. They could hear the shouting
and fighting from there while on the ship. They thought about checking it out, but they
resisted leaving the boat due to their responsibilities.
Forsythe did not respond to the question. Instead, he asked solemnly," How is the
Empress?"
The winning opportunity at the Wishing Star Tower had passed. He was only concerned
about Morticia's safety at that point.
Since Forsythe avoided answering the question, the disciples did not suspect anything was
wrong. He answered immediately, "The Empress did not leave the cabin over the last two
days."
Forsythe nodded and said no more. Then he said, "Send my order. All the ships are to
depart to Dragon King Island now. We have to hurry."
Nobody knew how long Archfiend Antigonus could hold out after the Four Profound
Heavenly Generals trapped him in the formation. Once Archfiend Antigonus was
apprehended, the Heaven Watcher's godly soldiers and generals would undoubtedly
eliminate all Sea Dragon Palace members in Donghai City. As a result, before the battle, he
must transport Morticia and the rest of the ship's crew. They could plan the next step once
they were back on the island.
"But-" The disciple hesitated and was in a difficult position. "But His Excellency ordered us
to stay put. And the battle at the Wishing Star Tower is still ongoing. Isn't it inappropriate
to leave now?"
Forsythe looked angry as he said, "What? Are you questioning me now?"
His eyes sparkled with a cold ray.
The disciple was terrified and said quickly, "I don't dare. I will do as you said now."
Then he dashed to the harbor to gather the others. Soon after, all the ships in the harbor
sailed back to Dragon King Island. As the ship set sail, Forsythe washed the blood stain on
his face and changed into fresh clothes before entering Morticia's cabin.
He could not help but sigh as he entered the cabin to see what was in front of him.
Morticia was sitting there quietly, looking upset. She was no longer the all-powerful ruler
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmwho had once united all pirates. She was just a frail woman who missed her baby at the
moment.
"Forsythe?" When Morticia saw Forsythe, she was stunned. "Why are you here? And why
did the ship set sail?"
While speaking, she did not forget to examine Forsythe. She noticed Forsythe's face was
pale, with weak spirits, implying that he was hurt.
"Your Majesty." Forsythe smiled bitterly and said, "We could have killed Ambrose and the
Carter Mansion once and for all, but the circumstances had changed. The Heaven Watch of
the Godly Region had arrived. The leader of the four generals formed a formation and
trapped His Excellency. I figured things had gone south, so I quickly ran and came back
here. The godly soldiers and generals from the Heaven Watcher are far too strong. So I
asked them to prepare the ships to sail back to Dragon King Island..." What? Morticia's
body trembled, and she thought the earth was spinning so fast she passed out. "His
Excellency is trapped at the Wishing Star Tower? They failed to find the baby, and now
Archfiend Antigonus is in danger. What should I do?"
As Morticia struggled to maintain her balance, Forsythe quickly placed his hand on
Morticia's waist to prevent her from falling. "Don't worry, Your Majesty. Let's return to
Dragon King Island to plan our next move."
