Chapter 515 Wharf Chaos
The dock in the northern part of Paraguay, the largest dock in South America, sees no fewer than ten thousand cargo ships coming and going daily.
It is also the only export outlet for mineral resources to the north.
The Knights of the Round Table took control of this dock long ago to ensure a steady flow of these resources to their headquarters.
When Chen Yu arrived, the dock was already in chaos.
Not only were the Gana Family's ships trapped here, but so were other merchant ships.
The Childe Family had taken over the entire dock, seemingly intending to package up and take away all the ships here.
Chen Yu cast his system outward and quickly detected several supernatural power wielders on the dock.
The magnetic fields they emitted were incredibly strong; combined, they could even control the behaviors of everyone on the dock.
This explained why many merchant ships willingly sailed their vessels into the Childe Family's dockyards.
Following the direction of the magnetic fields, Chen Yu quickly located an extremely crude iron ship.
Eight people were sitting around, blending their magnetic fields together before releasing them.
"So you really are here!"
Chen Yu jumped directly into the cabin, and a blue-white glow was released with him.
The eight individuals hurriedly stood up, and when they saw that the newcomer was Chen Yu, their faces were filled with fear.
As the most unique member of the Knights of the Round Table and currently the Sect Leader of the Xuanqing Sect, they of course recognized Chen Yu's profile.
The youngest Knight of the Round Table and also the current Sect Leader of the Xuanqing Sect – facing such a being, how could they not be afraid?
Chen Yu casually picked up a chair from the side and sat down.
"No need to be nervous, I'm just here to discuss some practical matters with you!"
The eight relaxed a bit seeing Chen Yu sitting there but still didn't dare get too close.
"What do you mean?" asked a relatively handsome man in his twenties, tentatively.
Chen Yu took out a token from his person and placed it on the table.
"You are the darlings of this world, possessing powers beyond its scope. Why must you work to the bone for others?"
"You should find a place to quietly develop your innate talents to their fullest."
The eight exchanged glances and, with some uncertainty, the man who had spoken earlier stepped forward and picked up the token.
It was a Sect Token of the Xuanqing Sect, which would grant unhindered access to Tianhu Mountain.
"Are you suggesting that we join the Xuanqing Sect?"
Chen Yu didn't deny it and simply pushed the token towards him.
"Whatever the Knights of the Round Table can offer, the Xuanqing Sect can too, and I can give you something they cannot."
Looking at the token before them, the eight were visibly swayed.
The first time they joined the Knights of the Round Table, they were placed in laboratories as experimental subjects. Due to their standout abilities, they were granted special privileges.
Even so, after completing their tasks, they still had to return to that cage to endure endless experiments.
"Can you give us freedom?" The youngest girl suddenly stood up. "And after joining the Xuanqing Sect, can you guarantee that the Knights of the Round Table won't come after us?"
Chen Yu chuckled twice.
"I don't necessarily want you to join the Xuanqing Sect, I'm just providing a place for you to develop your potential. As for the Knights of the Round Table, it won't be long before they disappear from this world and stop bothering you."
The emotions of the eight individuals gradually relaxed. Wasn't this what they had been dreaming of?
While they were speaking, two middle-aged men barged in arrogantly.
"What's going on with you guys? Why did the magnetic field cut out again? Do you have any idea that those bastards could take control and reclaim the dock if we're not careful?"
They had just shouted when they saw Chen Yu sitting there.
"Who are you? How did you get in here?" Enjoy new stories from My Virtual Library Empire
Chen Yu's lips formed a strange curve, and his eyes turned icy cold.
"I'm also a supernatural ability user. Is it strange for me to be here?"
The two men immediately sensed that something was amiss and pressed their hands to the weapons at their waists, but before they could act, a blue-white light flashed over, knocking them both unconscious.
Chen Yu flicked his wrist and walked over to the eight people.
"There's a small plane on the dock's airstrip about to take off. With your abilities, you should be able to control it! After leaving, whether you choose to go to the Xuanqing Sect or someplace else, that's up to you. I'll handle things here."
The eight individuals had longed to escape that cage-like life, and now that they could leave, they couldn't have asked for more.
Packing away the Token Chen Yu had given them, they happily left the dockyard.
Without the production of the magnetic field, the dock became even more chaotic.
Many were baffled as to how their ships ended up in the Childe Family's dockyard for no apparent reason, and some were inexplicably carrying large bags on the dock.
In a moment, various forces clashed together in utter disarray.
A few members of the Childe Family stood on the control tower, angrily watching the scene unfold before them.
"What the hell is happening? Send someone to check if those beasts are slacking off. Why does the magnetic field keep cutting out?"
They had barely raised the alarm when Chen Yu appeared at the top of the tower, slowly walking towards them.
"First of all, those kids aren't beasts, and secondly, they've already left. There will never be a magnetic field on the docks again."
The sudden voice startled the group, and the man in the lead instantly drew his long sword.
"You are Chen Yu?"
Chen Yu smiled faintly, and the blue-white light emanated from him, shocking those people into unconsciousness.
Though the dock seemed in extreme chaos, this situation wouldn't last long. It would soon revert to its previous order.
After all, these people were here to do business, with no time to waste. Even if they were puzzled by their mysterious displacement, they wouldn't dwell on it for too long.
Many of the merchant ships carried perishable goods, which would be ruined if they stayed too long at the dock.
Chen Yu didn't linger there. He also didn't return to the Ghana Family but instead found a small plane at the airport, planning to head directly to the Childe Family.
But just as he was about to board the plane, a middle-aged man wearing a mask suddenly appeared behind him.
The man was enveloped in an extremely strong magnetic field and a surge of purple electricity.
He wore the emblem of the Childe Family on his chest and was incredibly fast, reaching Chen Yu in the blink of an eye.
