Damu only saw a Shadow flash by and reached out to block it.
Barnett, Primo, and Philip saw Damu suddenly reach out, and their bodies also screeched to a halt.
"What do you want to do?"
Damu stood in front of his three brothers, looking at the silver-haired man before him, his eyes filled with vigilance.
Given the speed the other party displayed, Damu knew that if a fight broke out, he and his companions would definitely not be able to defeat this person, so he could only use words to negotiate and avoid a battle.
Renoli saw that the person leading these four had actually caught a glimpse of his movements, and he knew that even if this person wasn't very strong, he was very likely a super-powered individual.
"Don't be nervous, I have no ill intentions."
"My name is Renoli, a Tier 2 Bounty Hunter. My companions and I are here to pay our respects to Void God Kassadin."
"Did you also see the message Void God Kassadin spread and come here to seek power?"
"If so, perhaps we can chat."
"Maybe we'll become companions in the future, who knows?"
So Renoli's attitude was extremely friendly; he spread his palms and took two steps back.
Damu heard Renoli say he was here to seek power, and his eyes flickered. He had originally intended to say that he had already received the Void's Blessing.
"My name is Damu, from the Xandar City Guard."
"We are indeed here to seek power."
However, Damu recalled Mr. Kassadin's reminder in his mind and spoke.
He kept Mr. Kassadin's words firmly in mind: to get along, one must adapt their words to their audience.
Furthermore, for the past month, he had to hide his strength, which made Damu more cautious.
Barnett, Primo, and Philip regarded Damu as their leader, and hearing these words, they remained silent and obedient.
"That's good then. We arrived this morning and are now planning to fish for something to eat."
"Wait for us; we can exchange some insights then?"
Renoli said upon hearing Damu's words.
Although these people claimed to be from the Xandar City Guard, that didn't necessarily mean their identity was genuine.
Now that Lacey was alone at the temple, if they went there and encountered Lacey, something bad might happen.
Even a not-so-powerful super-powered individual is still very different from an ordinary person.
This wasn't because Renoli was cynical, but because in this remote and vast primitive island, many things could be done without ever reaching the outside world.
"Alright, we'll exchange some insights then."
Damu heard that the other party was going to fish for food, and since he was off duty and had plenty of time, he didn't refuse.
Although he was wary of Renoli, he wasn't overly afraid, because he believed My Lord Kassadin was definitely observing them.
"What's going on, Renoli?"
Kyle came to Renoli's side and asked.
"Lacey is alone at the temple right now, and I'm not comfortable with them going directly there."
Renoli whispered.
"You're worrying too much. This island is, after all, controlled by Kassadin."
"As visitors hoping to join the Void God Cult, even if we don't succeed, Kassadin shouldn't intentionally watch Lacey, an ordinary person, encounter trouble at the temple, right?"
"This is his territory."
Kyle didn't seem too worried upon hearing these words.
"What if Kassadin doesn't care about these things? Better safe than sorry."
Renoli whispered.
Although Lacey was famous for making money with her body at the Bounty Bar, willing and forced are completely different.
Since Lacey came with them, then regardless of whether they succeed or not, he must ensure Lacey's safety before he leaves here.
Damu's current hearing could easily pick up the slightest breeze within a hundred meters, so he naturally heard Renoli's deliberately lowered voice.
After hearing this, he temporarily let go of his vigilance.
"Let's go fishing together. How about we see who catches more?"
Damu said with a smile on his face.
"Okay, how about the loser buys the winner a drink?"
Renoli heard this, and his competitive spirit rose, setting a small wager.
"Alright."
Damu agreed.
Renoli hoped to join the Void God Cult. If he succeeded, they would have plenty of time to interact.
Even if Renoli didn't succeed, he would become stronger and stronger, and in the future, he wouldn't be afraid that differences in strength or status would prevent them from being friends.
The few of them agreed and went straight into the sea to fish, shirtless and in their pants.

Inside the Villa, Harvey was eating while observing everything.
Although Renoli, Kyle, and Prophet had not received his blessing, they didn't seem particularly anxious; instead, they appeared to be planning to stay there and wear him down.
However, Harvey didn't immediately agree to let them join the Void, intending to let them wait a bit longer.
If the three of them still hadn't left after a few days, he would grant them an opportunity to join the Void.
He could give anyone a chance to join the Void, but the opportunity was reserved for those who were prepared and truly yearned to become stronger.
As for Damu and the others, he would leave them be for now.
"Mr. Kassadin, the Gravity Devices you asked me to purchase will be delivered tomorrow morning."
"How do you plan to use them?"
Sonia stood by and asked.
Mr. Kassadin could move freely in the gravitational chamber, which was a hundred times more effective than conventional Gravity Devices.
She couldn't imagine what Mr. Kassadin intended to use those conventional Gravity Devices for, unless they were for other instructors who joined the Void God Cult.
"Just find a place to put them, and tell me where they are. I'll have a use for them in a few days."
Harvey said upon hearing this.
He hadn't returned to Blue Star in several months. Once he finished with the busiest period after initially spreading the news, it would be time for him to return to Blue Star for a visit.
He established the Void God Cult on Xandar not only because the environment here was relatively similar to Blue Star and had a large population, which was conducive to spreading the Void's doctrine.
More importantly, Harvey didn't need to actively seek out the Infinity Stones.
In just a few years, Star-Lord would deliver the Power Stone into the hands of the Nova Corps on Xandar.
At that time, if he wanted to obtain the Power Stone, he only needed Sonia to send him a message, knowing that Ronan had arrived on Xandar, and he could directly obtain the Power Stone.
Give him a few more years to grow, and by then, Thanos, who would have only just begun collecting the Infinity Stones, would absolutely not be able to snatch the Power Stone from his grasp.
"Okay, I will place them in Storage Room No. 1 in the basement after receiving them."
Sonia immediately replied upon hearing that she could put them anywhere.
