After hearing Xiao's mother say those words to him, Arthur felt a little sad. After all, no one wanted to see something like this happen in front of them.
Now that Ike had taken over this small island, it meant he was claiming it as his own. However, since this island belonged to everyone, he had no right or ability to take it for himself.
Thinking about this, Arthur looked at the two people in front of him. Then, 02 smiled at them and said:
"Don't worry, I'll definitely kick Ike out and make this island peaceful again. But before that, you need to decide who will be the true king of this country."
After hearing Arthur's words, the people nearby became curious. It had been many years since they last saw someone from the Blue Sea come here.
But after hearing what he said, they looked at each other, and soon, a few of them started laughing.
To them, Arthur's words were hard to believe. After all, Ike had ruled this island for a long time.
They thought Arthur and his group were just trying to follow the same path as Ike. Even if they managed to defeat him, they would still want to take his place as king.
This island was rich in natural resources, so many people who came here to challenge the Love Class also wanted to become the next ruler. Because of that, they were used to hearing words like Arthur's.
After he finished speaking, they quickly assumed he was just another person like that.
Xiao saw that everyone was looking at Arthur with contempt, which made her angry. She turned to face them and said,
"Arthur said he wants to help us defeat Ike, and I believe he will! No matter what, we shouldn't doubt him. I'll tell Arthur exactly how Ike came to this island. That way, he can get rid of Ike as soon as possible."
Arthur was touched by Xiao's words. However, the people of the island didn't seem eager to get rid of Ike. It was as if they had already accepted his rule, and they didn't care much about fighting back.
This felt strange to Arthur. Normally, if an outsider took over someone's homeland, they should feel angry and want to take it back. He himself wanted nothing more than to drive Ike off this island. That was the most logical thing to do.
But why did these people seem so indifferent about it?
"Give up. It's useless," a voice said. "Others have promised to help us before, but in the end, no one ever could. So don't get your hopes up."
At that moment, the village elder stroked his beard and walked over. His old voice caught Arthur's attention, and Arthur turned to look at him, feeling a bit surprised.
