Please read this chapter.

- A key figure from the water tribe is captured.
- Strategic planning is underway for a significant acquisition.
Bibo Island, Residence of the Island Lord.
Shen Tianhai sat in his study, playing with a jade thumb ring with a pale golden luster on his hand. The thumb ring felt warm and smooth, with beautiful sea water patterns carved on its surface.
It was carved from a piece of jade that had been submerged in the sea for thousands of years, and was a trophy he snatched from a water tribe elder in his youth.
His gaze penetrated the carved window grilles, fixed on the sea that was slowly getting darker outside.
The evening light from the setting sun was like liquid gold splashed on the sparkling water, dyeing every wave a dazzling golden red, but it was unable to penetrate the depths of his deceitful and calculating eyes.
A faint smile crept across his lips, a smile like that of an old cat after a full meal—lazy and content, but with a hint of certainty that its prey would soon be caught.
As his fingertip traced the pattern on the jade thumb ring, every touch felt like caressing a piece that was about to be obtained.
Lan Tide, the most outstanding young member of the water tribe and Shui Wuhen’s favorite nephew, was currently tied to a stone pillar in the central square of Bibo Island, becoming his best pawn in controlling the water tribe.
As long as he held this thing, he would not only take one Sea Soul Pearl, but the entire Sea Soul Pearl mine.
There was a soft knock on the study door. Three gentle taps, with a steady rhythm, is Mr. Liu’s unique code.
Shen Tianhai did not turn his head, but only said, “Please come in.”
The door hinges turned with a slight creak, and an old man in a gray robe slowly walked in.
The old man had a thin face, high cheekbones, and sunken cheeks, but his eyes were as sharp as an eagle’s, as if he could see through other people’s hearts. His aura was calm and controlled, and his cultivation as a peak-level Great Luo Golden Immortal was as immeasurable as an abyss. He was none other than Master Liu, Shen Tianhai’s most trusted strategist.
Having followed Shen Tianhai for 7,300 years, he had long understood the island lord’s thoughts and knew the cruelty behind every step of his calculations.
Master Liu walked to the table, bowed slightly, and spoke in a respectful yet calm tone: “Island Master, the aquatic tribe has returned, but there is no news about them exchanging Sea Spirit Pearls for humans. Since they don’t exchange humans, why not take action on the spot?”
Shen Tianhai gently placed the jade thumb ring on the table, producing the sound of rattling jade. Then he picked up the teacup, opened the lid, and thin steam rose upwards, carrying the fragrance of Longjing tea.
He took a sip of hot tea, his voice sounding calm and confident, even a little mocking: “Of course they won’t act.”
The old water turtle, Shui Wuhen, had lived for tens of thousands of years. He is very hesitant and indecisive in his actions.
