Chapter 237: Western Port
At the Western Port of Kronos Kingdom, luxurious giant ships continuously docked.
With the World Government flag fluttering, a World Government Official wearing a black suit walked at the front.
Two masked CP Agents stood behind him, one on his left and one on his right.
This was the official delegation from the World Government!
The entire Port was bustling with merchant ships from various Factions in the New World; some had even established Temporary Bases there.
Goods transported from all over the New World were shipped to the Four Seas via Kronos Kingdom's Island Turtles.
There, they were exchanged for or used to purchase other goods, which were then sold back in the New World.
Kronos Kingdom possessed three open Super Ports, located in the western, southern, and eastern parts of the Kingdom respectively.
To the north lay the dangerous Primitive Mountain Range, and the Northern Sea Area was constantly patrolled by five Marine Bases.
It was precisely because of this danger that it was even more secluded.
To prevent anyone from infiltrating Kronos Kingdom through the Northern Jungle, numerous traps and detection devices were set up along the internal Coast.
Any approaching outsider would be detected.
The Navy and Army would then act simultaneously.
The three Ports were entirely controlled by the Military and the Official authorities.
The Commercial Streets and Entertainment Streets above them were also specifically established by the Kingdom.
These three Ports were exclusively for the purpose of trade.
Ordinary residents were few.
Especially with Kronos Kingdom's rapid development in recent years, control over these major Ports was extremely strict.
Foreign Factions were prohibited from entering the non-controlled areas of Kronos Kingdom.
These Factions were basically long-term collaborators with close connections to Kronos Kingdom.
Whether from the underworld or legitimate businesses, they were all aware of Kronos Kingdom's strength.
During the rebellions instigated by Kronos Kingdom against the World Government, most of them also helped Kronos Kingdom hinder the World Government.
This was an Interest Group centered around Kronos Kingdom.
Anyone who could trade with Kronos Kingdom here could be called a trade partner of Kronos Kingdom.
It wasn't easy for outsiders to join.
Like a special club, it required not only joint recommendation from several Factions but also passing Kronos Kingdom's assessment.
When these Factions gathered, they formed a powerful force that astonished others.
At the eastern Port, the figures of the Giant Tribe often appeared.
Kronos Kingdom had a very close relationship with the Elbaf Giants.
Kronos Kingdom had a Stronghold in Elbaf, and the Elbaf Giants were also important trade partners with Kronos Kingdom.
Especially as the number of Giant Tribe members in the Pluto Pirates increased, reaching fourteen, the Pluto Pirates' influence in Elbaf further expanded.
An important point was that the Kingdom of Elbaf Giants, supported by Kronos Kingdom, had completely unified the entire strength of the Giant Tribe.
The core Kingdom of Giants continuously conquered the Giant Tribe Villages that had not yet submitted.
This included the stability brought by the Rocks Pirates.
Without interference from external Factions, the Elbaf Giants formed a unified entity under the dominance of the Giant Tribe, ending years of division.
Just how terrifying was a strong, unified Elbaf!
All of this began with the formation of the Rocks Pirates, and also with the birth of the Giant Tribe's "Monster" Prince, Loki.
Therefore, Loki possessed a terrifying Prestige in Elbaf, similar to Hades's in Kronos Kingdom.
Loki was like a Son of Heaven, bringing peace to Elbaf.
After the destruction of the Rocks Pirates, the Kingdom of Giants, unwilling to let other Factions on the Great Sea interfere with the Giant Tribe's internal affairs, united strongly to engage in trade with various Factions.
And Kronos Kingdom had currently become Elbaf's largest trade partner.
Continuously gaining interests and developing along this trade chain, none of them wished for anything to happen to Kronos Kingdom.
Seeing the World Government's merchant ship arrive, their hearts couldn't help but tighten.
Only after receiving the reply from the local Kronos Kingdom Officials did they breathe a sigh of relief.
However, they were also somewhat curious: What was the World Government here for? It was highly likely related to That Person, "Pluto" His Highness.
He was about to succeed to the Throne.
Hades's identity was naturally no secret to these trade partners.
However, Kronos Kingdom had not invited any Factions to Hades's Succession Ceremony.
What they didn't know was that only the Kingdom of Elbaf Giants had received an invitation.
Stepping onto the Port, the World Government Official's legs trembled slightly.
His inner state was clearly not as peaceful as it appeared on the surface.
Even with two CP Agents behind him, it couldn't bring him a sense of internal security.
After all, this was Kronos Kingdom.
And the World Government had instigated rebellions twice, causing unknown amounts of losses.
Kronos Kingdom and the World Government were in a hostile relationship.
As an important World Government Official belonging to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, he knew a lot of intelligence about Kronos Kingdom.
Including Kronos Kingdom's approximate strength, its influence in the World, and the considerable trouble it had caused the Marines and the World Government.
The young Monster who would soon become the King of Kronos Kingdom, the "Son of Jaeger", "Pluto" Hades! This was Kronos Kingdom, not a place where he could act recklessly just by relying on the World Government, as he used to.
Calm down, calm down.
Smile, smile.
Quickly adjusting his mindset, the Official forced out what he considered a comfortable smile and walked forward.
This mission needed to be taken seriously.
The Five Elders had specifically reminded him that it must be accomplished.
If he failed, he wouldn't need to go back.
The two CP Agents protecting him would immediately become his death warrants.
Moreover, his entire family in the Holy Land would be annihilated, and his wife and family would all become slaves.
