Watching Lin Chen's formidable strength, Kala let out a long breath.

With Lin Chen present, their power was already among the best, and so they had some confidence in vying for the Spirit Fruit this time.

Lin Chen glanced at Yi Lu lying on the ground, then turned his gaze to the sinister-looking Cook nearby.

"I'm not someone who takes things for free. Since I've accepted benefits, I have to do the work for them. Anyone who dares to challenge the Snow League is against me."

Hearing Lin Chen's words, everyone drew a breath of cold air.

Especially Cook, whose expression turned even more sinister.

Standing next to Lin Chen, Kala felt a shiver run through her.

She saw fear in the eyes of everyone around.

Cook stared at Lin Chen, his eyes filled with murderous intent, but soon he laughed.

"Chen Lin, good, very good, your arrogance is impressive. Since you choose death, there's nothing I can do. You'll regret your decision today."

Cook snorted coldly, pointing at Lin Chen: "Kid, let me warn you, though you're strong, opposing our Nordic pirates is beyond your reach. But if you submit to us, work under me, I will offer you a reward ten times greater than that of the Snow League."

Listening to Cook's words, Kala and the Snow League members were shocked.

A tenfold reward was enough to tempt Lin Chen.

Moreover, in their eyes, Lin Chen seemed like someone motivated solely by money.

However, under the allure, Lin Chen merely smiled faintly.

"A tenfold reward is indeed tempting, but unfortunately, I don't help just anyone. You're not worthy of my service."

Hearing Lin Chen's words, Cook's gaze became even more sinister.

"Kid, do you know what happens to those who dare provoke the Nordic pirates? No matter where you flee, even to the ends of the earth, you will be pursued by the Nordic pirates' hunting orders. I'm afraid you won't find peace in this lifetime." Cook threatened.

Lin Chen suddenly laughed: "Cook, did you think I grew up being scared? Your threats might work on others, but they have no effect on me."

In fact, Lin Chen didn't care about Cook's threats at all, as his appearance and identity were fake. With his current strength, even if he couldn't win, he'd be able to leave, and they wouldn't be able to stop him. So he had nothing to fear.

"Good, good, boy, you'll regret this." Cook said coldly.

At this moment, the ship had already set sail, and in about half a day, they would reach Wanling Island.

Cook pointed at Lin Chen and then returned to his cabin with his men.

Beside him, the youth with a baseball cap who was chewing gum lifted his head, and a sinister smile flashed across his pale face. He made a provocative gesture towards Lin Chen, then turned to follow Cook.

"Sam, I will make sure this kid dies," Cook said coldly as he walked.

"Don't worry, he is my prey. Killing him will make for an excellent zombie puppet."

Sam's laughter was incredibly sinister.

Cook nodded, his eyes filled with icy and violent murderous intent.

Lin Chen had repeatedly thwarted his plans, and now his hatred for this pesky Chinese boy was deep-rooted.

"Lin Chen, thank you for offending the people of the Nordic pirates for us," Kala said with some guilt.

If it weren't for them, Lin Chen wouldn't have had a conflict with those people. Now, looking at the situation, the conflict seemed irreconcilable.

Lin Chen smiled: "I am a person of principle. I take people's money and solve their problems. Don't worry, I will help you get the Spirit Fruit."

Wherever you are, it's the world of the strong. Only by showing enough strength will others fear you, or else you'll only be trampled underfoot.

Lin Chen had just acted strongly, not only to show Cook but also to deter other strong opponents.

Looking at Lin Chen, Kala shook her head helplessly. His strength was incredibly formidable, far beyond the initial stage of the True God Realm. The battle prowess Lin Chen displayed was even comparable to a high-level True God Realm powerhouse.

Now, Kala realized that she increasingly couldn't see through the young man before her.

"What's your exact strength, Lin Chen?" Kala asked curiously.

Lin Chen smiled lightly: "I'm strong enough to help you get the Spirit Fruit, and that's enough."

Looking at Lin Chen, Kala sighed.

This kid was truly too mysterious. If it were before, she would think Lin Chen was boasting, but now, she had no choice but to believe.

Lin Chen's gaze swept the entire cabin as he said calmly: "There are quite a few strong opponents vying for the Spirit Fruit on Wanling Island this time, indeed."

Kala nodded, her eyes flashing with a serious look.

Her gaze turned in several directions, her brows furrowing more and more.

"Chen Lin, our difficulty this time isn't small," Kala said seriously.

As she spoke, she pointed towards the frontmost part of the cabin: "Do you see those people?"

Lin Chen looked in the direction Kala indicated and saw a group of people in tailcoats sitting there. The leader, wearing a black tailcoat, had a pale face.

"Those are members of the vampire clan. I heard their special abilities are incredibly strong, very fast, and quite difficult to deal with," Kala said, taking a deep breath.

Lin Chen nodded. He had interacted with these vampires before and had some understanding of their strength.

"Look at those people by the window; they're also tough to deal with," Kala continued.

Looking in that direction, Lin Chen saw those people wearing mage robes, clearly members of the Magic Alliance.

"These guys have elemental abilities and are very troublesome," Kala continued to explain.

"Oh!"

Lin Chen also had some grudges with the Magic Alliance, but this time they only sent a senior mage, whose strength was just at the high level of the True God Realm.

At this point, Kala pointed to a young man sitting not far from them.

"Look at those guys; their bodies have been modified. They are half-human, half-machine. Their arms and legs are mechanical. These people are very cold-blooded and ruthless in killing."

Listening, Lin Chen shifted his gaze to those people. Indeed, their arms had been modified, looking like real hands and feet on the surface, but inside, they were mechanical.

Especially the leader, apart from the head and some main organs of the body, was actually made up of mechanical structures.

Lin Chen clicked his tongue in surprise; this vast world indeed had all kinds of people. That person's combat strength was surely not weak, making him a very difficult opponent.

At that moment, the mechanized man's gaze suddenly turned toward Lin Chen.

A cold aura shot through his eyes towards Lin Chen.

Lin Chen stared back indifferently, with no waves on his face, nor a hint of fear.

The murderous aura emanating from the opponent, though strong, was insignificant to Lin Chen.

Lin Chen had once been a Demigod Realm powerhouse, only injured in body, and otherwise, such people were nothing to him.

The mechanized man stared at Lin Chen for a moment, then a sinister smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
