Chapter 733: Chapter 594, Russia’s Call for Help Chapter 733: Chapter 594, Russia’s Call for Help Several days later, Gold and Silver Island.

The Phantom Train appeared out of nowhere, and Wu Heng, accompanied by Skeleton, slowly walked down from the train.

He walked into town and hailed a carriage to head home.

Pushing the door open to the manor, three maids quickly ran out from inside the room.

They threw themselves into his arms, cooing softly, “Master, we’ve missed you so much.”

Wu Heng hugged the three, “I’ve missed you too.”

The three were overjoyed as they walked into the house, asking, “Is Sister Wen Mansha doing well? Has the baby been born yet?”

“Still a month to go, but her belly looks quite big,” Wu Heng said.

Mini said, “Why didn’t you bring Sister Wen Mansha over? This place is much better than Lundham City.”

“I’ll ask her in a few days. If she wants to come over, I’ll go bring her here,” Wu Heng replied, patting Mini’s hair.

Then, Robey went to cut some fruit, and Annette went upstairs to prepare bathwater.

Mini sat on the sofa, reporting the changes on Gold and Silver Island during the days he was away.

“In the days you were gone, two issues of the newspaper have been published. The day after tomorrow should be the next issue. Sister Veera said that the newspaper has been quite effective, and several more merchant teams signed newspaper subscription agreements at the city hall,” she reported.

“Sister Shanela came over twice. Knowing you weren’t here, she stayed to chat with us and kick the shuttlecock around. We’ve all been quite happy. Just yesterday, Philippa said that the new battleship has been armed and went out to patrol the seas this morning, taking Sister Shanela along,” Mini recalled.

Mini thought for a moment, “Other than that, there’s not much else. The island has been quite quiet, with no special situations occurring.”

Wu Heng nodded, feeling relieved in his heart.

The arrangement and development of Gold and Silver Island were quite alright, even in his absence, it didn’t affect the normal operations.

Of course, his absence was still not something to reveal to outsiders.

The enemies were still numerous, but without a clear understanding of the situation on Gold and Silver Island, they couldn’t cause any disruption.

He chatted with Mini in the room for a while.

Annette’s voice came from upstairs, announcing that the bathwater was ready.

Wu Heng told Mini to contact Wen Mansha and assure her of his safety, while he himself went upstairs to bathe and soothe the travel fatigue.

At dusk, Andre Willow also returned from the city hall.

The group dined together, and Andre Willow also updated Wu Heng on the situation, which wasn’t much different from what Mini had reported.

In short, there was nothing much at all.

After dinner, the maids underwent training.

Wu Heng then went upstairs, back to his study.

…

Inside the study.

Three ghosts were released, and Xiao Xiao went to watch cartoons, while Glenda conscientiously flew to the desk to open the Great Detective collection and continue rewriting.

The newly joined Bella looked around curiously.

Wu Heng spoke, “We’re in the Island Lord’s Mansion on Gold and Silver Island. At night, you can go invisible and look around, just don’t stray too far to avoid any danger.”

Bella stuck her head through the wall and peered outside, “Are we going to live here in the future?”

“I’m the Island Master, similar to a City Lord. I’ll mostly need to stay here,” Wu Heng said.

“You’re really impressive. When we first met, you would spend a long time looking at the drink menu,” Bella said with a smile.

“That was because I wasn’t familiar with the taste of the drinks and wanted to choose something conservative,” Wu Heng explained, then continued, “From now on, we’ll be one family. Just consider this place as your own home.”

Bella smiled and nodded, “Thank you.”

After settling Bella in, Wu Heng went back downstairs.

He glanced at the maids training on the first floor.

Then called out, “Veera, Mini, go back to your room and rest.”

The two maids dropped their weapons and ran over, each clinging to one of his arms.

They headed toward the bedroom.

…

The next day, at the association.

Wu Heng stood in front of the Steward’s Office door, knocked lightly, and upon hearing a response, he directly entered.

Xi Ligui looked up at him, “Haven’t seen you in several days.”

“Miss me?” Wu Heng asked with a smile.

Xi Ligui glanced sideways, organizing materials, but with a smile sneakily watching Shi Yali from the corner of her eye, she scolded, “Stop talking nonsense.”

Wu Heng sat down, and continued, “I went out a few days ago and encountered a bishop from the Heaven Destiny Cult; I just killed him on the spot.”

Xi Ligui’s expression turned serious, “Why did you go out on your own? That’s very dangerous.”

“It was initially just some other matters; I didn’t expect it to involve the Heaven Destiny Cult,” Wu Heng explained, then briefly recounted his encounter.

One of his informants had been killed by the opposition.

He went to investigate and ended up running into the Heaven Destiny Cult.

Xi Ligui listened intently, and even though Wu Heng spoke lightly with some jokes in his story,
dealing with an 18th-level professional was definitely not an easy matter.

It was even more tense and dangerous than he described.

“Next time something like this happens, let me know in advance. Don’t always think about adventuring on your own,” Xi Ligui said seriously.

“Okay,” Wu Heng continued, “I also saw Babuzzi, the captain of the Flying Fish Pirate Group, whom we had sent out from the Heaven Destiny Cult.”

“He actually found the Heaven Destiny Cult? That’s pretty impressive,” Xi Ligui said, somewhat surprised.

“More than impressive. He didn’t send out a single piece of intelligence and got fat off their food…” Wu Heng was annoyed every time he thought of him.

It was mainly a contrast.

Bella was killed because of the intelligence, while he, who was supposed to redeem himself through his actions, ended up doing quite well.

Given more time, he could probably become a Great Knight.

Xi Ligui found this somewhat amusing since it was Philippa who had requested his release, and it was also for the sake of Wu Heng’s reputation that he was given a chance.

“So, did he come back with you?”

“No! There are two more Heaven Destiny Cult branches outside; I asked him to continue investigating,” Wu Heng explained.

“That works. It’s better if there are results, but even if there aren’t, with the Bishop killed, this sect won’t last much longer.” Xi Ligui nodded.

“That’s what I thought too.”

Xi Ligui picked up her cup of water, took another sip, and continued, “Tell me about your plans going forward, so you don’t always act on your own.”

Wu Heng leaned back, “No real plans, but yes, I want to assemble a fleet. Help me screen a few vice captains who are good in water and have clear backgrounds.”

“Only choosing vice captains?”

“For the captain, I’ll appoint a Skeleton. With so many Pirate Leaders turned into Skeletons, it’s fine for them to be captains!” Wu Heng said with a smile.

“Alright, I’ll arrange that for you in the next few days,” Xi Ligui responded.

After sitting at the association for a while, Wu Heng left the association.

…

He called a carriage and headed for Lighthouse Street.

In the shop, he picked two introductory books for Bards.

One was called “Resounding Words,” which could enhance one’s voice to make it more captivating.

The second was “Generic Performance,” a skill to train one’s own acting abilities, which did not solely mean performing onstage as a celebrity.

It included disguises, deception, and intimidation all as parts of performance.

The more proficient one became, the better the effects were.

Both books were intended for Xiao Xiao’s mother, in hopes of unlocking Xiao Xiao’s “Unfinished Wish” more quickly.

After purchasing the books.

He changed his appearance and had lunch at a tavern.

He listened to a Bard tell the story of Wu Heng, the Great Detective.

At first, due to borrowing someone else’s story, he felt somewhat embarrassed, but as his fame greatly increased,
he stopped feeling that way and even considered collecting more books for Glenda to rewrite.

After lunch.

Wu Heng then took the carriage back to the Island Lord’s Mansion.

…

He rested downstairs for a while.

Then he returned to the study, opened the boundary door, and headed to Zombie World.

After stepping out of the boundary door.

He heard the sound of pattering rain.

Glancing out the window, he saw the sky was dark and the fine raindrops formed a continuous sheet.

It had started to rain here too.

Picking up the walkie-talkie, he called Qi Hancai.

Before long, there was a knock on the door, and Qi Hancai, wearing a tailored woolen coat with a small owl on her shoulder, walked in.

“How have things been recently?” Wu Heng gestured for her to sit down.

Qi Hancai said, “Everything is going smoothly. The two Skeleton Teams have moved into the next city. Supplies and rescued personnel are being continuously brought over.”

Wu Heng nodded, “Good.”

“Oh, the Skeleton Team from Yahong’s sister’s area has entered Heihe City. They heard that there are Russian researchers contacting them via radio, asking for help,” Qi Hancai recalled suddenly.

“Russian?”

“Yes, it’s a good thing we found some foreign language operators earlier, so we could understand what the other party was saying. Basically, they’re asking for help, no longer expecting a local rescue team,” Qi Hancai explained.

Has our operation spread overseas?

“What are these researchers studying?” Wu Heng asked further.

Qi Hancai responded, “They said it’s a new project called an electromagnetic cannon, not sure if you’ve heard of it.”

An electromagnetic cannon?

Are the Russians developing this too? It hasn’t been mentioned in the news.
