Given that so much had happened that night, Chu Sect would undoubtedly take action after Tang Xian and the others returned.
Meanwhile, after that evening's battle, no doubt, Ye Fan's whereabouts had been completely exposed. Under such circumstances, he had no choice but to leave.
As such, Ye Fan and his group kicked off their journey and headed toward the borders.
When those men who were sent by Chu Sect to guard the borders spotted the ten-thousand strong army marching toward them, they escaped back to Chu Sect to report at once, scared out of their wits.
At the same time, at the pier, Oska had gotten ready several massive cruise ships that were enough to accommodate Ye Fan's troops.
“Aren't you coming with us?”
Li Er and the rest had already boarded the ship, ready to depart.
However, Oska remained standing by the shore as he bade farewell to Ye Fan and the others.
By the looks of it, the man had no intention to leave with them.
“Dragon Master, I will be staying here. This is my hometown and where most of my work is. Dragon Master, if you make a comeback in the future, I will gladly serve you again.” Oska waved goodbye to Ye Fan with a smile.
Indeed, he did not intend to leave with Ye Fan.
Oska was not a martial artist. He did not have exceptionally strong capabilities, nor was he talented in business.
His greatest asset was his army of five thousand soldiers.
As such, the man knew that he would lose his value if he followed Ye Fan back to China.
Ye Fan might find some work for him out of gratitude and appreciation of his loyalty, but that was not what Oska wanted.
He did not conceal his identity for so many years just to live a pathetic life as a nobody.
As such, the man chose to stay behind and remain in charge of his five thousand men-strong army.
“But you do know that you will be severely punished when your superiors get to know about what happened the previous night, right? It is a major crime to deploy troops without permission. Have you thought about the consequences that you would have to bear?” Ye Fan reminded worriedly.
Oska dismissed the man's concerns with a wave and replied placidly, “Don't worry. I have been in charge of this area for many years and have established a pretty good relationship with both my superiors and subordinates. I will be fine. On the other hand, Dragon Master, you should be more careful. Even though you will be able to avoid clashes with most members of Chu Sect by traveling via the sea route, that's not enough to stop their top fighters. If they manage to catch up with you, you will be in a dangerous situation.”
Oska reassured the man and gave him a word of caution.
Ye Fan nodded in response.
He was already aware of everything Oska told him.
However, out of all the options available, taking the sea route was the safest.
At least, they would be able to avoid all the fighters below the Supreme rank.
As for the rest, he planned to leave it to fate.
“Since you've already made up your mind, I won't try to persuade you any further. Take care! I hope to see you again the next time I come here.”
Ye Fan patted Oska's shoulder before turning around and boarding the ship, sailing away with the others under the glow of the evening sun.
Meanwhile, on the bank of the ocean, Oska stood at attention and raised his right hand to his forehead, giving a military salute in Ye Fan's direction.
“Farewell, Dragon Master!”
Oska's booming voice rang out in the sky.
Whoosh!
Instantly, those five thousand soldiers behind him followed his lead and saluted as well.
“Dragon Master, that would be our last goodbye...”
