At the mention of Jinping, Aaron's face became ugly, after all, no one likes a person who always calls himself garbage.

"That guy is now a royal guard in the Dragon Palace, and he won't come back to live for a long time." Aaron replied angrily, even in front of Tiger.

"Well, I didn't expect this kid to become so promising now." Tiger had a surprised look on his face, which made Aaron even more upset.

"What about you? Stinky boy, are you still fooling around here? Tiger shifted.

"Ahaha! Big brother, you also know that I don't have any ability, I can only see it with all my strength, but I don't want to go to the Dragon Palace to be restrained by that, where else can I go except here! Aaron laughed awkwardly.

......

After chatting with these former brothers for a while, Tiger got up and said, "Okay, if it's okay, I'm going to go to the Dragon Palace, if there's anything you want to ask, you can wait until I get back." ”

"Big Brother > Big Brother Tiger Walk Slowly!" Aaron and the other fish people waved goodbye.

Fish-Man Street is very large, and Tiger's location is far away from the Dragon Palace, even with his footsteps, it took him half an hour to reach the gate of the Dragon Palace.

"Stop, the Dragon Palace is important, and idlers and others are not allowed to trespass without permission." When he arrived at the gate, Tiger was stopped by the guards of the Dragon Palace.

Tiger was stopped by a very young fishman, and even Tiger, who grew up in Fishman Street, didn't have the slightest impression. At this time, the young fish-man was holding his spear tightly, nervously facing Tiger, and glaring at Tiger fiercely with his eyes, trying to make him retreat.

This situation made it difficult for Tiger to deal with it, he didn't expect that there would be a fishman who didn't know him. Fortunately, another fish-man who was guarding the gate with the young fish-man recognized Tiger after careful identification, and shouted excitedly, "Big Brother Tiger! Is that you? You're finally back! ”

The cheers of his companions made the young fishman look confused, and he stiffly withdrew the spear in his hand, and he forced a smile back to his post without understanding what was happening.

"Big Brother Tiger, you wait here for a while, I'll go find Boss Jinping now, he can bring you into the Dragon Palace." Excitedly, the fishman didn't wait for Tiger to reply, and happily trotted all the way to the gate.

"Uh, oh." Tiger opened his mouth dryly, with some helpless guard's enthusiasm.

There were no fish-man guards who both knew each other, and Tiger and the young fish-man had nothing to talk about, so they stood at the gate and stared at each other, and the atmosphere was silent.

Fortunately, the rest room of the Dragon Palace guards was not very far from the gate, and the fish-man guards quickly brought Jinping out.

"Brother Tai, you're back!" From afar, Jinping's excited roar came. With the sound of the voice, a fat, muscular fish-man ran towards the gate at a speed that did not fit his size.

"Haha! You're still the same! Jinping. Seeing a familiar face again, Tiger was overwhelmed with emotion.

"I don't know what happened to Big Brother Tai when he came to the Dragon Palace?" After the greetings, he calmed down his excitement and asked businessmanlikely.

"I have an important matter to discuss with King Neptune and Princess Otohime, and this matter may have something to do with the relationship between the Fish-People and humans." Tiger paused as he spoke, deliberately accentuating the words fish man and human, and looked at Jinping with a sincere gaze.

Feeling the heaviness and sincerity in Tiger's eyes, Jinping chose to believe in this big brother he had admired since childhood, and finally said: "Brother Tai, I'll take you there!" ”

......

Fishman Street

In a small but cozy café, the mermaid Xia Li is cleaning used cups. She loves the feeling of removing the stain from her belongings little by little, so she cleans it up every time she finishes her coffee.

Suddenly, a feeling of palpitations made Xia Li feel in a trance, and the picture from the prophecy of a year ago resurfaced in her mind, and this time it was clearer.

"Is it about to happen?" Xia Li held on to the counter weakly, sweating profusely, and gasping softly.

Some people may envy Xia Li's ability to predict the future, but in fact, this ability does not bring Xia Li happiness, but brings her pain. When she was very young, she had foreseen her father's death, but she could do nothing about it. Just like this prediction now, what can she do if she knows, no matter what, she can't change the established future.

This feeling of knowing but not being able to do it is the most painful.

......

In the Dragon Palace, after learning of Tiger's return and having important matters to discuss, King Neptune and Princess Otohime, who had just given birth to the little princess Shirahoshi, took time out of their time to come to the main hall.

As the former leader of Fish-Man Street, Tiger has made great contributions to Fish-Man Island, impressing many Fish-People with his own personality charm, and anyone who knows Tiger Fishman and Merfolk maintain respect and trust for Tiger, as well as the Dragon Palace royal family.

"First of all, I still have to welcome Mr. Tiger back, Fish-Man Island still needs Mr. Tiger to be in charge of peace and stability!" Neptune sat on the throne and greeted politely, while Tiger sat down on the floor below.

"His Majesty the King has won the award, I am just an ordinary fish man, how can I afford such words." Tiger bowed his head slightly and said modestly.

On the side, Princess Otohime sat on another smaller throne, as a goldfish mermaid who was born to awaken the domineering sight and hearing of sight, she could sense Tiger's sorrow from the depths of her heart, so she spoke: "Mr. Tiger, if you have any difficulties, you can feel free to say it, there are no outsiders here. ”

If it weren't for Princess Otohime's direct picking, these two people wouldn't know how long they would be polite, but it was also Tiger who wanted to get to the point as soon as possible.

"Then I'll be blunt." Tiger pondered his emotions for a moment, and his expression gradually became heavy, "In fact, in the three years since I left, I was captured by the Draconians and became a slave. In Mary Joy, I lived a purgatory-like life every day, humiliating, abusing and beating, gladiatorial fights, everything they could think of was inflicted on us slaves. They simply treat people other than them as toys and throw them away when they are used up. ”

"I've had enough of those days, and I waited three years before I finally found a chance to escape from there. But there are still thousands of slaves left there to suffer, and they are still suffering from my past. I'm going to get them out! Free all the slaves there! Revenge on the Draconians! ”

After telling what happened to him, Tiger Tiger eyes widened, tears in his eyes, and he trembled with excitement, one hand clenched into a fist and pounded on the solid floor.

On the throne, Neptune and Otohime looked at each other speechlessly, and their hearts were shocked.

In contrast to Neptune's skeptical attitude, Princess Otohime completely believed what Tiger had said. The anger and sorrow that rose from Tiger's heart could not be faked, and the intensity of emotion that Otohime had never been exposed to before.

"Is there anything we can do to help you?" Otohime asked softly.
