The annihilation of the Dark Tide Family caused a huge stir in the Port City; the people here never expected Red Hawk Andy to actually return to this country.
Although the gangs usually oppressed the common people, now that the Dark Tide Family had been eliminated, they didn't seem particularly happy.
Because many people here depended on the gangs for their livelihood.
These mafias in West Blue, though sometimes antagonistic towards each other, also maintained very close ties.
They controlled most of the businesses in West Blue, and many countries relied on the business brought by the gangs to survive.
If even countries were like this, there was no need to mention the common people.
Now that Red Hawk Andy had eliminated the Dark Tide Family, although their oppressors were gone, they truly didn't know whether to cry or laugh.
But this had nothing to do with Andy.
He had now entered the forest, and for the time being, he hadn't figured out how to deal with the matter of his birth mother.
It was very difficult for women to survive in this world.
At that time, a prince of a country, and even the future heir to the throne, confessed his feelings to her; for a better life and to escape the unstable life at the bottom, she had no reason to refuse.
After all, her marriage to Andy's father was also somewhat forced and out of necessity.
But she owed one person, and that was her son, Andy.
Andy's childhood was no different from that of a beggar, but his mother never once inquired about him.
It was impossible for Andy not to harbor resentment in his heart.
Now, regarding this mother of whom he had no impression, Andy didn't know what she was thinking, but knowing she was still alive and where she was, he couldn't pretend not to know.
He just didn't know how to handle this problem yet.
"Ah~ so annoying!" Andy sighed deeply, clasped his hands behind his head, and lay down on the grass.
Through the gaps in the dense foliage of the forest, he gazed at the azure sky, his mind a chaotic mess.
After lying for a moment, he suddenly stood up abruptly, his expression calm and silent, and slowly walked towards the capital city.
——
In the capital city, Tie Xiong had already assembled the kingdom's most elite guard army; a large group of people mounted their warhorses and galloped like the wind towards the Port City.
Accompanying them was also a group of officials who were about to take over the Port City.
King Tie E looked at his son's receding figure, a satisfied smile appearing on his resolute face, as if he had already envisioned Red Hawk Andy being slain by Tie Xiong and the Port City being smoothly taken over.
Just then, a beautiful woman dressed in luxurious attire ran out in a panic.
This person was none other than Queen Vera; she ran directly to Tie E and anxiously asked, "Your Majesty, what is Tie Xiong going to do? Is he going to deal with Red Hawk Andy?"
Her eyes, hiding a hint of allure, were now filled with urgency, fixed intently on Tie E.
Tie E was somewhat surprised to see the Queen so anxious.
One must know that this Queen was usually gentle and quiet, with very few emotional fluctuations; it was precisely for this reason that he had elevated this married woman to the position of Queen.
However, he quickly recovered and comforted her:
"Don't worry, Queen, that Red Hawk Andy is not as formidable as the newspapers boast; this is merely a common tactic used by the World Government. Tie Xiong is leading the kingdom's most elite guard army; dealing with him will be as easy as turning over one's hand."
"But... but..." Vera was burning with anxiety, because Red Hawk Andy was her biological son!
But at this moment, with so many people around, she truly couldn't reveal the truth, her face flushing with urgency.
Seeing Vera still worried, Tie E simply assumed she was concerned that Tie Xiong might not be a match for Red Hawk, so he continued to console her kindly, and then led her back to the royal palace.
——
"What?! You mean Red Hawk Andy is your one-year-old son from back then?!"
After returning to the royal palace, Vera confessed Andy's true identity to Tie E, who was so shocked his eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief.
Vera nodded repeatedly, tears in her eyes, choking out:
"Yes, Your Majesty, Red Hawk Andy is indeed my son; I recognized him instantly from the photos in the newspaper.
I cruelly abandoned him back then to return to the capital city with you; I already owe him too much. How can I now stand by and watch Tie Xiong go to kill my other biological son?"
As she spoke, she couldn't help but sob softly.
Tie E looked at the crying Queen, his heart also in a turmoil.
He had known that Vera had a child, but at that time the child was only one year old, and Vera had never shown any concern for the child over the years, so he hadn't taken the matter to heart.
But now, this child had reappeared as Red Hawk Andy, and had become famous in West Blue, which left him at a loss for what to do.
According to his original plan, eliminating Red Hawk was the best option.
This way, the future business of the port could smoothly fall into the hands of the royal family, and it would also silence other gangs.
But he never expected that Red Hawk Andy would be the Queen's son...
After a long deliberation, Tie E hardened his heart; Red Hawk Andy must die, otherwise, once this matter was exposed, the prestige of the royal family would suffer a severe blow.
However, the Queen must never know about this.
He gently comforted Vera:
"I understand, Queen.
I will immediately send someone to catch up with Tie Xiong and tell him not to attack Red Hawk Andy, but only to drive Andy out of Cortes Kingdom.
And Queen, don't blame me; a pirate with a bounty over 100 million staying in our country will sooner or later cause great trouble.
Don't worry too much either; he is now the famous West Sea's Ultimate Evil - Crimson Owl Andy in West Blue; with his strength, he will surely be safe on the high seas."
"I... I understand, thank you, Your Majesty!" Vera believed him and was filled with gratitude.
Meeting him was impossible, and she didn't dare to meet Andy now; her current status made it impossible to face Andy.
She only hoped that Andy could live safely now.
Although her heart was now filled with guilt towards Andy, what she could do was limited, and she could only silently pray for Andy's forgiveness in her heart.
——
In the forest, after walking for a while, Andy cursed himself for being an idiot, having so many ready-made mounts but insisting on walking himself.
Truly a life of hard labor!
Then he subdued a three-meter-tall, nearly ten-meter-long (including its tail) white-browed tiger with spotted eyes that had been following him, wanting to eat him; this was a very suitable mount.
Andy even kindly gave it a name: Wang Zhi.
After experiencing the eerie aura of Demon Blade Zhu Chi, the white-browed tiger very willingly became Andy's mount.
After all, it didn't want to be drained of its blood by that blade.
Subsequently, the man and the tiger left the forest and returned to the main road, slowly and leisurely heading towards the capital city.
Along the way, everyone who encountered them was greatly frightened; wherever the man and the tiger arrived at a crowded location, it would immediately cause a commotion.
Until they encountered a team of guard army.
