Chapter 1044 - F***! She Was Going To Kill Him!

While Momo, Linda and their gang were busy crying for more, Landon was already down at one of the dock warehouses, going over some items for his trip, alongside Lucia, Javis, Andrew, a few Zalipnians and his secretary Brian.

They only had a week and a half left before they set off.

So everything had to be ready before then!

Javis looked at the list before him and nodded in satisfaction.

Of course, some adjustments need to be made too.

"Brother Landon, we would like for more items like mops, cleaning detergents, and even the solar washing & drying machines to be added by this amount.

We also like items for beddings, writing, and a few others to get doubled too. 

Don't worry. When we get to Zalipnia, we'll take out the price difference too."

Landon didn't see any problem with it.

In fact, they might not even have to make up the difference because from what he knew, there were some rare herbs, animals, fruits and food that only existed within Zalipnia and some other territories in Romain.

Of course, he hoped to import all these as fast as possible and facilitate trade.

Zalipnia had a lot to offer, which would make it stupid if he allowed such an opportunity to skip past him.

For sure, he would never do anything illegal or morally corrupt.

All he wanted was trade.

It would also benefit the Zalipnian economy too.

And as a fair man, he would pay his export taxes when he took things out of Zalipnia.

Because when they, in turn, started importing goods from Baymard, he expected them to pay the fees too.

Landon believed in a just and fair society.

Anyway, he'll first have to sign the treaty with them before going into all this.

.

Lucia looked at the list and was delighted with it.

Yay!

There were T.vs, books written purely in Roma, movies that had Roma subtitles in them and so on.

She had also taken some books and educational programs that taught people how to speak Pyno too.

She thought it was a wise thing to do.

Only now did she know that there were so many other Continents in Hertfilia.

The Pirates that controlled the seas had ensured that many regions were separated from one another.

So They mostly knew about the continents around Romain, like Zohl, Dania, and Lampe (which was now called Adonis, after the temple of Adonis.)

Of course, she and her people had heard that there were many other continents out there.

But who would risk going forth to explore?

It was a known fact that those who did leave never came back.

And those who did succeed in coming back came back with brutal injuries from the seas.

Honestly, Lucia didn't know how she and her brothers managed to make it this far.

With what they experienced, it should've been impossible for them to get this far.

Right from Romain, they had experienced so many pirate fleets that they felt like the entire world might belong to the pirates.

She felt like it might've been divine intervention that kept her alive.

Or, how else could she explain it?

Even with the harsh winter storms that made them wash up on a pirate island and the countless battles they fought week after week, they still managed to survive miraculously.

When all hope seemed to be down, some miracle always happened, saving them.

That's why she felt like everything was in the eyes of the heavens, preplanned or preordained to be so.

Or, could she be wrong?

.

After inspecting Landon and writing down all the changes that need to be done, Landon took them back to the palace, where he also invited some military personnels too.

They were indeed going for what, so they had to fully know the ins and out of the matter.

"Alright. Let's go."

With that, they were off, with Brain driving the car.

[Warning. Warning. Enemy blade against the tracked victim's neck.

Warning. Warning. Enemy blade against tracked victim's neck.]

Landon's eyes dilated in alarm when he tuned in and saw the scene on the monitor.

Eh?

Wasn't that Josh?

F***!

What should he do if something happens to Josh?

Landon focused on the scene and felt his hair standing up.

Okay. He, Landon Barn, was finished!

.

Meanwhile, in a dark, moist room, several men were seated calmly within the dark, while watching the scene before them sternly.

At the center of the room was a man who stood directly under the only light source in the room, chained with his hands upward.

'Uggghhh~ Uggghhh~.'

The steady, yet painful breathing of the man, could make anyone take in several gulps of saliva in horror.

The light shone from the hole above, illuminated the man's blood-coated figure, making him a truly gruesome sight to behold.

It was so gut-wrenching and disturbing that one might think that he would die any moment from now.

And standing before the chained-up man was another burly man who had a club in his hand.

No... It wasn't just any ordinary club.

The club had sharp pointy nails sticking out of it that was guaranteed to make its victims scream in agony.

The entire scene was quiet, as many dared not breathe even at this moment.

Some within the room rolled through tongues to release some of the tension from it all, while others just squinted their eyes calmly as several thoughts passed through their minds in a flash.

Everyone looked at the man's bloodied face deep in thought after getting all the information they had about him.

Now, they all wanted to know just one thing.

Where the hell is Hamunaptra?
