If they simply try to avoid the issue, it’s clear that they have sothing to hide. It’s not hard to deduce that they are already aware of the relationship between the Zhang family and the pirates.
In that case, the Zhang family will surely act as quickly as possible, and the three major families of Jinling will likely not be able to resist them.
On the other hand, if they pretend not to know anything and go onto the island anyway, who knows what tricks the people from the Zhang family might use?
After all, it was the Zhang family who sent the pirates to attack the ships, which ans they have been eyeing Wang Yue and his group for a while.
Out in the open sea, they can simply block the signal and act whenever they want.
Wang Yue is not afraid of the people on the island; after all, it’s unlikely that they would send soone at the level of a "Degradation Realm" expert to search the entire island. And those below the "Degradation Realm," Wang Yue doesn’t think anyone could pose a threat to him.
However, if he were to kill these people as well, even if the signal is blocked and no ssages can be sent, it would an admitting that both the pirates and the people from the Zhang family were eliminated by him. After all, such coincidences are unlikely.
As for subduing them and then letting them go, Wang Yue hasn’t even considered that option; he still needs to keep his strength hidden at this ti.
Just when everyone was at a loss, Wang Zhiting suddenly said, "There’s a way to do it."
"What way?" Wang Yue asked eagerly. He had high hopes for his younger cousin; she, like her mother, was a renowned talented woman in Jinling.
By "talent," I don’t an just her knowledge; she also has an extrely high IQ, though she usually doesn’t show it off much.
"Live streaming," Wang Zhiting replied with a smile. She turned on the communicator on her left wrist, and a virtual cara appeared instantly.
First, she focused the cara on the Zhang family’s ships for a mont, then turned it towards the island, and said loudly, "Friends, we have now arrived at Island 0853. I didn’t expect that besides us, there are other ships here. And judging by the markings on the ships, they belong to the powerful Tianhai Zhang family. To et such important people during our adventure is truly fortunate. Congratulations, everyone!"
Great! Wang Yue and the others imdiately gave Wang Zhiting a ntal thumbs-up.
By live streaming, many people would see what was happening. Even if the signal was blocked as soon as they landed on the island and sothing went wrong, people would imdiately assu that it was the people from the Zhang family who attacked Wang Yue and his group.
Although the Tianhai Zhang family is powerful, they cannot control everything. If this incident beca known, they would have no way to explain it to the Warriors Alliance.
Even though the Warriors Alliance is not monolithic, they still need to maintain their reputation.
So by doing this and making the people from the Zhang family aware of it, they would not dare to act recklessly.
"Cousin, since when have you started doing live streaming?" Wang Qianqian couldn’t help but ask.
Wang Zhiting signaled her to be quiet, then continued loudly, "We are about to land on the island now. Let’s go and explore its scenery and perhaps even encounter so wild animals."
Soon after, the yacht slowly approached the shore, and everyone used lightness techniques to jump onto the island.
"Hmm, why is there no signal on this island?" Wang Zhiting exclaid in surprise as soon as they landed.
Su ngqing quickly added, "That’s the case in so places."
"I need to let my fans know," Wang Zhiting said. She jumped back onto the ship and said into the communicator, "Unfortunately, this is an island without a wireless signal. I can only record what’s happening here and show it to you later."
She then reassured her fans for a while before returning to the island. However, the virtual cara on the communicator remained active, recording everything that happened.
After landing on the island, they walked along a sandy beach for about ten ters before entering a dense jungle. As soon as they entered, they saw a group of people standing there, led by a tall, dark, and muscular man.
"Are you friends of the Tianhai Zhang family? I’m Su ngqing from the Jinling Adventurers Association. Nice to et you," Su ngqing said, stepping forward and performing a warrior’s salute.
The dark, muscular man ignored Su ngqing and frowned at Wang Zhiting, asking, "What are you doing, little girl?"
"Recording. There’s no signal on this island, and my fans on live streaming are very disappointed. So I’m recording it and will show it to them once we find a place with a signal," Wang Zhiting said innocently. "Uncle, don’t you mind being recorded?"
"Yes, just cut off the recording when you show it later," the man said. "Have you been doing live streaming all this ti?"
"Yes, for the past few days. I stopped only after we landed on the island and lost the signal," Wang Zhiting replied.
"You must be from one of the three major families of Jinling. You’re warriors after all. Why are you doing sothing like live streaming, which ordinary people do?" the man frowned, not realizing that he was actually expressing dissatisfaction with warriors lowering their status.
Su ngqing said sheepishly, "It’s just a hobby, young lady. Please don’t mind."
The burly man with dark skin nodded and introduced himself, saying, "I’m Zhang Hong from the Tianhai Zhang family. I’ve co to this island to collect so materials. What brings you here?"
"We’re also here to collect materials," Su ngqing replied.
"Hmm, I heard that the genius scientist Yan Fangfei has been working for your Su family. It’s natural for you to be collecting materials, but where is Yan Fangfei herself?" Zhang Hong asked.
According to the information he had received earlier, Yan Fangfei, as well as Su ngqing’s four teammates, had all boarded the ship. However, the number of people now did not match what he had been told.
"There was an unexpected problem in Sister Yan’s laboratory, so I asked my four teammates to escort her back first," Su ngqing explained. "It seems you are quite familiar with our situation, sir."
"No, of course I am. After all, she’s a genius scientist; it’s only natural for us to pay attention to what’s happening to her," Zhang Hong said with a laugh.
Then he added, "The seas have beco quite turbulent lately, and pirates are becoming more and more active. Have you encountered any of them on your way here?"
"You’re joking, sir. If we had encountered pirates, would we even be able to make it here?" Su ngqing laughed.
Zhang Hong noticed that one of the girls present looked sowhat uneasy, and imdiately asked, "That little girl... Did you encounter pirates?"
"No, not at all," Wang Shanshan said, looking confused, but then she beca excited as well. "Uncle, do you know where pirates can be found? I’ve never seen one before; I really want to see one."
Anyone who knew the mbers of the Wang family would realize that it wouldn’t be strange at all if Wang Qianqian had said such a thing, but Wang Shanshan would never do sothing like that.
Clearly, this cunning little girl was using this thod to dispel Zhang Hong’s doubts.
Sure enough, upon hearing what Wang Shanshan said, the five parts of doubt that Zhang Hong had in his heart were instantly reduced to none at all.
After all, Wang Shanshan looked both innocent and adorable; she certainly didn’t seem like soone who would lie.
