Chapter 2163 The First Encounter with Martin
As such, everyone surrendered themselves to the feast without any lingering doubts after Martin's continuous
reassurance and their inability to reject such high-quality ingredients. They were pleasantly surprised that the
taste and delectability of the Silver Snow Sturgeon had surpassed that of other sturgeons available in the market
even though the Sturgeon had been refrigerated for approximately a week. Midway through the meal, Martin
ordered his subordinates to bring out another Silver Snow Sturgeon, which was nearly identical in size to the first
one, in order to ensure that all his guests could indulge without any concerns. This grand gesture sparked
immense jealousy among the guests, who gradually shifted their perception of Martin.
After all, the provision of these rare Silver Snow Sturgeons served as concrete evidence supporting Martin's
claims. Excitement filled the air as everyone began envisioning the wealth of gold mines that lay ahead.
"Martin, let's have a detailed discussion about Sky Island and the Cold Trench Ocean?"
"We're ready to cooperate with you on this matter. You just have to tell us what we need to do."
"You know well that the Land of Divinity is undoubtedly at the forefront when it comes to marittechnology. As
such, we're more than happy to provide our expertise."

Those who had previously looked down on Martin suddenly becextremely respectful toward him in the face
of tremendous temptations and interests. Even the elders from the Sky Palace, who had been a odds with Martin
before, instantly changed their attitudes. They were now demanding the injured disciple to make up for his
mistake.
"You idiot brat, I'm so ashamed of your arrogant behavior. Who do you think you are to behave like that toward
Martin? Apologize to him now.
The disciple, who had been injured by the Phoenix, had no choice but to step forward and bow as low as he could
under the indignant gazes of his companions. "Martin, | deeply regret my disrespectful words earlier. Please
forgive me," the disciple apologized humbly.
"Oh, don't fret over it. We all have moments where words slip out unintentionally. | am not one to hold grudges,"
Martin responded, displaying his benevolence.
The crowd immediately showered him with flattery upon hearing his forgiving words.
"What an undeniably worthy King of Rivenia. Your magnificence knows no bounds."
"Your broad-mindedness sets an example for all of us martial arts practitioners. Youngsters, take note and learn
from Martin, understood?"
Indeed, money has the power to influence even the most unexpected. Martin maintained a polite demeanor as
he observed the crowd's pretentious behavior, feeling nothing but disdain toward their disingenuous faces. Still,
he knew that he had to dangle a tempting bait to finally hook the big fish.
On the opposite side of the world, Matthew finally managed to have a brief reunion with his wife after arriving in
Eastshire. Regrettably, the couple didn't even have the opportunity to sit down and share a proper meal before
he found himself hurrying off to attend Martin's banquet alongside Master Levi.
Matthew pretended to doze off during the journey to the banquet, using the tto reflect on the information
Sasha had shared with him during their brief encounter. Sasha had informed him that Mouse had managed to
trace Lord Voodoo, although they were uncertain of his whereabouts. The only certainty was that Lord Voodoo
was still alive after being taken captive.
He chose to keep the information about Mouse's findings to himself since he was already suspicious of Master
Levi's involvement in the relocation of Lord Voodoo. He needed to keep his composure throughout the journey,
so that he would not raise Master Levi's suspicions in any manner.
The journey proceeded in silence, and upon reaching their destination, they discovered a gathering of numerous
large and small boats that resembled a small island from afar. Alas, they were one step too late, as the banquet
had concluded by the tthey finally arrived at the scene.

Undeterred, they continued walking toward the largest warship, which was encircled by a fleet of boats. As they
stepped onto the warship, a man with a majestic Phoenix perched on his shoulder approached them.
"Levi, it's been too long since our last meeting!"
"Martin! Indeed, it has been a considerable length of time. | have eagerly anticipated your invitation, and at last,
it has arrived."
Martin burst into laughter upon hearing the remark. "Well, since you never once made an effort to seekout, |
decided to take matters into my own hands." The two engaged in a friendly conversation as if they were
cherished friends reconnecting after a long separation.
Matthew had not paid any attention to the person in front of him initially until he heard Master Levi address him
as Martin. At that moment, his heart skipped a beat, and he could not help but wonder if the man before him was
the renowned King of Rivenia.
On the other hand, Martin naturally noticed Matthew's gaze and turned his attention toward him. Their eyes met,
and with a brief exchange of glances, they acknowledged each other, as if silently greeting one another.
Subsequently, Martin pulled Master Levi to the side, indicating his desire for a private conversation over a few
drinks, as it had been a considerable length of tsince they last met. Meanwhile, Matthew took the
opportunity to explore the warship on his own.
