N-A-A Chapter 403: Join the Fatui
Chapter 403: Join the Fatui
Outlying Islands...
When the first ray of morning sunlight shone on Aratake Ichito's face, the man finally took action.
He faced the salty sea breeze, humming an unknown melody softly, with his hands in his windbreaker pockets and walking at a leisurely pace, looking like a bard swaying in the wind.
A Thunder Hammer vanguard on patrol saw the uninvited guest and immediately shouted a warning.
"Hey, this place is temporarily taken over by the Fatui. It is not open to the public. Anyone coming is prohibited... uh..."
When the last word was spoken, the voice of the Thunder Hammer Vanguard Army stopped abruptly.
His eyes were covered by the mask and it was hard to see clearly, but from the cold sweat running down his forehead and the twitching corners of his mouth, it could be seen that he was a little panicked.
Arata Ichito raised his head and looked directly at the other person, smiling warmly, "Hey, sorry brother, I haven't been here for a long time, and I don't know the situation here."
"Uh...it's okay, you don't have to pay attention to these little things..."
The deep voice of the Thunder Hammer Vanguard Army dropped by more than a degree, with a hint of panic, and the originally casual standing posture unconsciously turned into a standard military posture.
Arawaki Ichito scratched his head. He was sure that the other party was afraid of him, but he couldn't figure out why he was afraid of him.
It seems that he has never provoked the Fatui before. Today is the first time he has caused trouble.
"Um..." he asked, "Have we met before? I feel like you know me."
The Thunder Hammer Vanguard Army spoke cautiously, "Before, you brought a child here, and I scolded you. Then my superior scolded me again after you left."
Arata Ichito suddenly realized, "Oh, it's you! I thought so!"
It’s not that Huang Long Yidou is face-blind, it’s just that each type of Fatui soldier looks the same and it’s really hard to tell them apart.
"But you are quite honest. You answer everything I say."
Arata Ichito smiled and said, "Okay, I won't talk to you anymore. Can you call Karan over to me? I have something to ask him."
"Well...Okay, I'll go and inform you right away. I hope you won't move."
The Thunder Hammer Vanguard Army hesitated for a moment, but decided to obey the other party and trotted off to find their superior.
Aratake Ichito tilted his head. He felt that the words sounded familiar for some reason.
After a while, Karan appeared in front of Arata Ichido.
"Nice to meet you again, sir." Karan smiled politely.
"Well, Karan, I remember you." Aratake Ichito also smiled and nodded.
"Sir, I heard that you came to see me for something important?" Karan asked straight to the point. He was not a person who procrastinated.
Arata Ichito smiled and said, "Don't worry, it's nothing serious. I just want to borrow something from you."
"what?"
"A big boat."
"........."
The atmosphere seemed to be stagnant for a moment, making people feel suffocated.
Karan's face twitched, but he maintained his usual gentleness, "Are you kidding, sir? This kind of thing is not something I can decide on my own."
Arata Ichito pointed at the fleet on the shore and said, "I'm not kidding. I just want to borrow a ship that can accommodate hundreds of people."
"I don't have such authority. Sir, I'm afraid you have found the wrong person."
Karan shook his head, then asked, "But I dare to ask, sir, why do you want to borrow a boat? As far as I know, this kind of thing is of no use to you, right?"
Arata Ichito shrugged, "It's different now. For some reasons, I have to leave Inazuma and avoid the limelight. I guess I won't come back often in the future. But I don't have a boat, so I can only look for you guys."
"This... is a bit too much..."
Arata Ichito still smiled, "Ah, then you can also think of it as me robbing you, don't worry about it."
As soon as these words came out, the Thunder Hammer Vanguard beside Kalan swallowed his saliva, clenched the giant hammer with both hands, took a step forward resolutely, and blocked the commander behind him.
"Back off." Kalan said softly without changing his expression, and pushed him away.
"Sir..." The Thunder Hammer Vanguard Army hesitated, but still stood aside obediently.
"Hello... sir, may I ask your name?" Karan asked.
"Arataki Ichito."
"Okay!" Karan nodded. "Then Mr. Yidou, although I don't have the right to fulfill your request, I have a suggestion that can help you. Why not listen to it?"
"Just say it." Arawaki Ichito replied.
Kahlan smiled and said, "Join the Fatui, Mr. Ichito."
"What do you mean?" Arawaki Ichito said thoughtfully.
Kalan's eyes were burning as he spoke confidently, "Inazuma was blind and forced a strong man like you away. This is a loss for this country and also proves the stupidity of those in power here."
"But we fools are different. Here, ability is everything. As long as you have the ability, money, power, status, and glory will all be within your reach!"
"I can see that you, Mr. Yidou, are a man who is unwilling to be mediocre. At the same time, I believe in my own vision. With your strength, you will definitely be famous in the Seven Kingdoms in the future!"
"Only we, Solstice, can give you such a stage. Our Fatui executives are proof of this. If a strong person like you were to go to other countries, I'm afraid you would even lose some of your freedom and privacy, let alone be reused."
"In this regard, I sincerely want to invite you to join the Fatui. Please believe me, this is a match made in heaven!"
Karan spoke with passion and blood boiling, and his tone was devilishly seductive.
Arata Ichito pondered for a few seconds and gave the other party an affirmative smile, "I have to say, I am convinced by you."
"Okay, I'll join."
Karan finally smiled happily, "I knew that Mr. Yidou is a smart man."
He extended his hand, "Then from now on, we will be colleagues."
Arata Ichito shook his hand firmly, "Of course, but you still have to take the ship. I won't change my request."
Kalan was stunned. "Uh, Mr. Yidou, excuse me, why do you insist on being on a ship? Since you are going to join us, your family will naturally be protected by the Fatui. Tell me the names of your family members and I will send someone to pick them up now. Even if the Three Magistrates make trouble for the Fatui, it will be useless. You don't have to be so anxious."
Arata Ichito shook his head, "No, they are here."
Under Kalan's puzzled gaze, Huang Long Yidou snapped his fingers, and the figures of Lei Hu, Ling Hua and others slowly appeared beside him.
"Hi." Kamisato Ayaka waved and greeted.
Karan instinctively took a step back, his pupils suddenly contracted, and then returned to normal.
"Is this... Mr. Yidou's work?"
Arata Ichito smiled and said, "It's okay, just a little trick. I'm leaving first. As I said before, just think of it as something I stole."
After that, he led everyone towards the fleet.
"Hey! Wait a minute!"
Seeing that the situation was not good, Karan hurriedly stopped everyone.
"Why are you in such a hurry? We, the Fatui, will definitely ensure your safety."
Arata Ichito rolled his eyes, "Who said I was leaving?"
"Ah? What are you doing?"
"Looking for someone, Scatterer, I'm sure you know him."
