Kela looked at Lin Chen, her eyes no longer held the previous disdain: "Looks like we were all blind and missed that you're a master."

Lin Chen said calmly: "The one who acted against you today should be a Soul Master. You're no match for them. If you don't want to die, it's best to return to your Northern Europe."

"A Soul Master, no wonder that Cook guy is so arrogant." A trace of seriousness flashed in Kela's eyes.

After all, a Soul Master is enough to wipe them out, and if Lin Chen hadn't intervened today, the consequences would have been disastrous.

"Was it you who defeated him just now?" Kela asked in a deep voice.

"I didn't defeat him; we didn't even engage, he just left." Lin Chen said blandly.

Upon hearing Lin Chen's words, Kela and the others present were startled.

The two sides didn't start fighting, and yet the adversary left, what does this imply?

This indicates that the adversary clearly did not possess the ability to kill Lin Chen; otherwise, given their ruthlessness, how could they possibly spare Lin Chen?

"Alright, I've said all I needed to say. Going will be your death. It's better to go back now and still preserve your lives."

Lin Chen's words were harsh, but Kela knew it was the reality of the situation.

The Northern European pirate group, those guys, since they attacked once, they'll certainly strike again, and amongst these people, Kela is the strongest, yet even she cannot handle that Soul Master.

"We won't go back, if we go back like this, our captain will surely die." Kela stubbornly said.

"If you stay, you all might lose your lives." Lin Chen shrugged.

Kela pondered for a moment, then suddenly bit her silver teeth, saying: "Mr. Chen Lin, can you help us?"

Now Kela was out of options, Lin Chen was their only hope.

Since Lin Chen was able to make the Soul Master retreat, it shows Lin Chen's strength is not weaker than the adversary. So, if Lin Chen makes a move, there's a chance to defeat them.

"Help you? I'm very busy, not that idle." Lin Chen said blandly.

"Hey, why are you so unreasonable? If we weren't kind enough to give you a ride, you might have died in the swamp long ago." Mei Na said angrily.

Lin Chen calmly said: "Firstly, it was Mu Ya who took me in, I owe her that favor. If it's any debt to you, I've repelled the Soul Master earlier, that favor is repaid. Now we owe each other nothing."

These days, while Lin Chen stayed here, these people hadn't even treated him well. For such forces, Lin Chen naturally wouldn't take risks for them.

"You..." Hearing Lin Chen's words, Mei Na was rendered speechless with anger.

"By the way, I'll be responsible for protecting Mu Ya, as for the rest of you, your lives have nothing to do with me." Lin Chen said looking at Mei Na calmly.

Mei Na stomped her foot in anger, but she dared not provoke this demon king and could only fume in silence.

The others' faces also turned somewhat unsightly, thinking about how cold they had been to Lin Chen these days, they indeed went too far.

Now Kela was facing a dilemma with nowhere to go.

Advancing would likely result in everyone dying, retreating, the captain would die too.

The captain is their spiritual backbone, just like a father, how could they just watch him die?

However, now Lin Chen's attitude is very firm, which means he won't care about anyone except Mu Ya who helped him.

This can't be blamed on Lin Chen's heartlessness, given that they were cold to Lin Chen first, and now they want him to risk his life for them, which is evidently unlikely.

Mu Ya is a very sensible girl, she didn't speak up from the side.

Although she wanted Lin Chen to help them, she also knew such a request was too much.

Lin Chen obviously noticed Mu Ya's difficult expression, thought for a moment and said: "Of course, I can help you, but there's one condition."

Upon hearing Lin Chen's words, Kela's face lit up with joy, and she quickly asked: "What condition?"

Lin Chen thought for a moment and smiled faintly: "Very simple, one thousand pills."

"What, one thousand pills? You dare ask for that!" Mei Na said angrily.

Kela frowned upon hearing this.

One thousand pills exceeded her limit.

Lin Chen smiled faintly: "If you don't agree, so be it, but consider well, which is worth more, one thousand pills, or Spirit Fruit and your lives?"

Upon Lin Chen's words, everyone was instantly speechless.

Knowing that the Spirit Fruit concerns the captain's life, and once they enter Wanling Island, the Northern European pirate group is bound to act, based on past confrontations, they are likely to be annihilated.

Kela pondered for a while, then said in a deep voice: "Are you sure you'll help us once you receive the thousand pills?"

Lin Chen nodded: "Naturally, taking people's money, relieving their disasters."

Kela gritted her teeth and nodded: "Fine, I hope you keep your word."

Lin Chen laughed: "Okay, deliver first."

"Hey, Chen Lin, do you have no shame? What if you run off after we give you the pills?" Mei Na said angrily.

Lin Chen's gaze turned cold, and he said coldly: "You seem to have forgotten what I just said, do you want to die?"

Seeing Lin Chen's icy gaze, Mei Na's face changed, hiding behind Kela, not daring to speak further.

"If you can't deliver the pills first, then sorry, I can't assist you." Lin Chen said, turning to leave.

However, just as Lin Chen took two steps, Kela suddenly called out to him: "Fine, I agree, but we need to gather them first."

Lin Chen stopped and smiled: "Alright, I'll wait."

About ten minutes later, Kela came up to Lin Chen holding several bags.

"Here, a not less than a thousand pills." Kela said with some pain.

Lin Chen took the pills without reservation and directly put them in his pocket: "Alright, deal. Rest assured, I'll help you get the Spirit Fruit."

With that, Lin Chen, without caring about the others' gaze, directly entered the car.

Actually, Lin Chen had his own plan, after all, he was alone now, but entering the island required a Token, which was a problem.

Even if they reached the island, Lin Chen would be alone, but if he allied with Kela, at least he'd have some support.

Meanwhile, Kela took a deep breath; this time Lin Chen indeed managed to extort quite a bit from them.

But if Lin Chen did help them get the Spirit Fruit, the price wasn't expensive.

"Captain, is this guy credible? What if he runs off once on the island?" Mei Na said discontentedly.

Kela snorted coldly: "Do you have any other way? Do we have a choice?"

"This..." Mei Na was rendered speechless.

"Also, behave yourself and keep your mouth shut, if you provoke Lin Chen, and he kills you, we can't do anything." Kela said coldly.

Kela took a deep breath looking at Lin Chen in the car: "Chen Lin, we're counting on you this time, hope my choice isn't wrong!"
