The dock.
A small cargo ship with the Yamashita family logo was pulling up.
The five men got off and walked towards the dock, led by the old man, and as soon as they arrived, they were immediately greeted, "Third Elder, everything is ready as you requested. There is enough oil on the cargo ship for you to make three round trips from Japan to South Vietnam!"
"Well done." The old man patted his shoulder and said.
"Just following the elder's orders." Being praised by the old man obviously made the man a little flattered, and he bent his head and nodded repeatedly.
"I remember there are quite a few shops at this dock, so go ahead and get whatever you need, if not, let's board the ship and get ready to depart." When the man had retreated, the old man said to the crowd with a smile.
"Surely Brother Chen won't let us spend money frivolously!" Bai Xiaofei was eager to go and buy a little snack, but knew that Chen Ge didn't like him to eat such things. So he spoke with some complaint.
"Spending money? Who said anything about letting you guys spend money?" The old man's smile grew even bigger.
"What do you mean?" Bai Xiaofei scratched his head.
"This dock in Japan is one of our Yamashita family's properties, I already greeted them last night, all the shops feel free to pick and take whatever you want, as long as the ship can fit, you can get it all up there." The old man pointed to the shops that were open around him. In a low voice he said.
"There is no need for food and drink, I think the ship should be prepared, instead go and get some clothes, not only do we have to go to South Vietnam this time, but we also have to find the You Long Island directly, it is not a trouble that can be solved in a day or two, don't let the clothes stink on you by then."
Chen Ge pondered for a while and said.
This time, he was going to rescue his parents and sister, and maybe he would also spy on the Sun Alliance, and to meet his family, he always had to be clean and dry. He couldn't wear such clothes, otherwise when he met his sister, he would definitely get a lecture about being unkempt.
Chen Ge remembered that when he went to the mud pond to play as a child, he would be dragged by the ears and thrown into the washroom by his sister every time he came home. Thinking of these past events, Chen Ge could not help but have a smile float to the corners of his mouth.
"There is indeed plenty of food and water on the boat, so go get your clothes and say that the third elder of the family told you to go." The old man waved his hand, and after he finished speaking, he leapt up and jumped directly onto the top of the deck.
"Ho!"
Seeing the old man's stance, both Bai Xiaofei and Feishu were a little surprised.
At a height of five metres, even a soldier king like them might not be able to make it, but looking at the old man as he jumped up, it was clearly very easy. It was like jumping onto a bench.
Chen Ge didn't follow them and went to the nearest clothing shop to pick up some random clothes before returning to the ship.
Inside the cabin. The old man was sitting on the deck drinking tea, and when he saw Chen Ge enter, he swiped a new cup. Making piping hot tea.
"Old man, I don't know your name yet." Chen Ge asked as he casually tossed his clothes aside and sat down in front of the old man.
"It's just a name, you can just call me Old Man Zhou." The old man waved his hand, seemingly not caring about the name, counting, he hadn't used his real name for decades, to him, the name was just a code name. It didn't mean anything at all.
"Old Mr. Zhou." Chen Ge nodded his head and wrote down his surname.
"What are your plans this time?" The old man nodded along with him.
"No plans." Chen Ge sighed and shook his head." I know very little about You Long Island right now, I only just learned that the secrets of the Hai Dong clan were placed in an ancient magic relic in South Vietnam, so if I'm unlucky and the secrets aren't recorded about You Long Island, then there's nothing I can do."
"And beyond that?" The old man frowned slightly, he did not expect Chen Ge to know so little about his old friend.
"Nothing more." Chen Ge shook his head again.
But he suddenly raised his eyes. From the inner pocket of his jacket, he pulled out a vellum-like item, "And there is this Sea Heart Map."
"This is the legendary Sea Heart Map." The old man took it from the Chen Singer and examined it carefully on it.
"Old man knows it?" Chen Ge was a little curious.
"Of course. I was once a cultivator in China, and I have heard of such things as the Sea Heart Map. Legend has it that this map contains a secret treasure in the sea, and if you get it, you can have great wealth.
The old man reached out his hand and pointed at the island in the centre of the Sea Heart Map.
"What? The secret treasure in the sea?" The old man's words however caused Chen Ge to freeze a little.
"I shouldn't have remembered it wrong, could it be that this Sea Heart Map has some other purpose?" The old man was also a little curious.
"This is a special map that records the location of the Phantom Dragon Island. I once saw the island appear on it by coincidence, but it only lasted for ten seconds or so before it disappeared, as for the secret treasure in the sea. I have never heard of it at all." Chen Ge shook his head and told all that he knew.
"So it seems that the Sea Heart Diagram should serve more than one purpose." The old man stroked his goatee and said, "But the Secret Treasure in the Sea should be real, and if you have the chance, you should go and take a look."
"I've been to that place." Chen Ge pointed to an island in the middle of the Sea Heart Map and said, "I once thought this was the You Long Island, so I ascended there, and it was the place of the Chen Family's Zong Clan."
"The clan family, how interesting." The old man laughed helplessly.
"When I was on that island, Chen Doucang sent his men to test my strength. Later, Chen Wu sent someone to assassinate me, I think there were three times." Chen Ge recalled for a moment.
"Who is Chen Wu?" The old man asked.
"It's someone adopted by Chen Ducang, he should be about my age. According to the information I know, this person was worried that my appearance would steal his status as the heir to the Chen family patriarch, which is why he went against Chen Ducang's wishes." The moment he thought of this matter. Chen Ge had some tears and laughter.
"That's interesting." The old man stroked his goatee and laughed, "Chen Ducang just wanted to test your strength but didn't want to kill you, while the people under him wanted to kill you, it seems that this Chen family of his isn't very peaceful."
"All these things have nothing to do with me, I simply wanted to save my parents and sister." Chen Ge shook his head, the position of the Chen family patriarch, even if Chen Ducang himself wanted to give it, Chen Ge would not be interested.
"What about your parents, how long have they been captured?" The old man continued to ask.
"A long time." Chen Ge took a deep breath.
"Chen Ducang didn't hurt them?" The old man filled Chen Ge's tea.
"I heard that no, they seem to be locked up inside the room at the very back of the Chen family's Zhuang Yuan. Some days ago Chen Wu sent someone to the Japanese country to assassinate me, and I learned something from that person's mouth."
