Malicious Existence, Resources in Hand, and Rush to War (3)

Less than two days after the shipwreck, Ari and his group once again boarded a Crown of the Ocean warship.

They would part ways with Ji Chen halfway, following their agreement to head to the Maple Principality, while Ji Chen and his team would proceed to the Starshine Islands, and then make their way towards the northwest coast of the Central Ocean, where both nations were located.

Ari had no objections to this plan; it seemed the sooner they reached the Maple Principality, the better for him.

Two days later.

Both parties arrived at their designated separation point.

Ari expressed his gratitude to Ji Chen, saying, "Thank you, Your Excellency, for extending your hand to us. If you ever come to the Kingdom of Ugisai, I will surely repay your generosity."

Ji Chen nodded with a smile, appreciating the desert dweller whose identity was not entirely clear.
