"Boss, look at those legs, wow, and that waist, the women on Hope Island are so beautiful." The bald man stretched his neck, staring at her with his eyes, and his saliva seemed to be flowing down.

Seeing that everyone in the distance was looking over, Johnson picked up the spoon in the thick soup and hit him in the face, "Do you think this is a brothel in the dock area? Be restrained!"

Others are residents of Hope Island, and I am from an outside island. If anything goes wrong, I know without a doubt that the sheriff will help that side.

"That's all, thank you." After handing the menu back to the waiter, Lily turned her head to look at the warships in the distance. She looked at those ships with longing in her eyes.

"Lily, stop looking. What do you think about what I told you a few days ago?" Dr. Jennifer, who had a small mustache, asked her daughter.

Lily's face suddenly showed a bitter face, "Dad, please forgive me, I really have no plans to get married for the time being."

"Daughter, I didn't ask you to get married right away. This is not just an acquaintance. What if it works out? His military rank is major."

"Major is so great?" Lily said, making faces at her brother.

The mother at the side showed a trace of helplessness. She reached out to hold her daughter's hand, patted it and patiently explained: "My daughter, there are several types of upper-class circles in Hope Island, but no matter how it changes, there will always be a navy. As long as you marry him, our family will squeeze into the upper-class circle of Hope Island."

"If I really want to break into the upper class circle, why don't you let me marry the Governor of Hope Island directly? Wouldn't that be better?"

Oliver shook his head. "The Governor's position is too high. It's simply not something that people of our status can compare to. Besides, the Governor is already married."

"What?! You actually considered it?!" Lily widened her eyes in surprise.

"Don't worry, I've met that kid before, and he's really good. If his personality and appearance don't meet my standards, how can I bear to let my daughter get in touch with him?"

Listening to her mother's earnest persuasion, Lily leaned her elbow on her chin and nodded listlessly, "Okay then. I'll go and see him."

"Crash~" There was a sudden sound of glass breaking nearby. Lily subconsciously looked over there and found a bald man standing up in shock, looking at the glass window next to him, "Boss! Look! All those boats have disappeared!

Hearing what he said, the others on the third floor looked towards the dock in the distance at the same time, and were surprised to find that all the ships that were there before had disappeared.

"What's all the fuss about? The boat is gone, of course it's gone."

"Boss! This is impossible! I used to be a sailor. The bigger the ship, the harder it is to turn around. How could so many big ships just drive away! It just disappeared!!"

Seeing that people around him had started talking, Johnson, with a frown on his face, reached out and pulled the bald man back and asked him to sit down.

He wanted to know what was going on, but there was no need to ask, as the people around him would soon tell him the answer.

Johnson's attention was first drawn to the girl's family in the distance. Judging from their decent attire, they should be wealthy people from the center of the island, and perhaps he could get information from them.

"Lily, don't stand, sit down quickly. As a lady, do you think it's appropriate to kneel on a stool and look at the dock?"

Lily sat up straight again. She looked around and whispered to her family, "Dad, I heard from others that the navy that went out on the expedition said that the Shining God can teleport many ships away. Maybe this is what He did."

Hearing her daughter's words, Lily's mother shook her head slightly at her, signaling her to stop talking. There are many people on the island who believe in the Shining God, and if his followers knew about it, it would cause trouble.

Oliver shook his head with a frown on his face. "Don't believe in rumors without any basis. It's not good to talk about the Governor casually. I met the Governor a long time ago. He is a human being."

"But look, so many ships disappeared in an instant. No one could have done that except God." There was a hint of excitement in Lily's voice, as if she had discovered some unspeakable secret.

Oliver did not reply. In fact, he had heard these rumors that had been circulating for a long time, and he was inclined to believe them. This was why he wanted his daughter to get closer to the upper class circles of Hope Island.

Johnson, who was standing next to him, heard all their words. There was a hint of fear in his eyes. The governor of Hope Island was a god? Was he kidding

He subconsciously felt that this must be fake, but the ships disappearing in the distance forced him to believe it.

In the following time, Johnson no longer had the heart to eat, his mind was full of thinking about this problem. Now he seemed too nervous, and his previous calmness was gone.

What Johnson didn't tell the others was that he had seen a god before and he came back to life, which was very rare even on Earthsea, so he knew how terrifying the gods really were.

"Go! Go to the dock!" Johnson's lips turned pale and he walked towards the dock with deep fear in his eyes.

On the busy Second Street, Johnson was speeding up. He had only one thought in mind: no matter if it was true or not, he had to leave Hope Island, now!

"Ding~" An extended version of the car with a pure white exterior and golden wheel frames drove towards us. This kind of car definitely does not look like something that an average rich person can drive.

When Johnson saw the pedestrians next to him taking off their hats and saluting the car, his face instantly became extremely bad.

At this moment, Nini, his companion, had just walked up to him when she was stopped by Johnson.

"Excuse me, kid, whose car is this?"

Nini turned her head and looked, "That's the Governor's car."

Looking at the approaching car, Johnson felt cold all over in an instant. The deepest hidden picture in his mind directly occupied his mind, and he fell into a state of extreme panic.

Just as the car passed him, Johnson finally couldn't hold on anymore. He instantly fell to the ground and curled up into a ball. His body trembled with fear and he kept shrinking back.

His mouth was wide open, saliva was dripping unconsciously, and he looked as if he was about to pass out from fear.

Johnson's other subordinates were also horrified when they saw their heads move in this way, and they looked at the car in front of them with extreme horror.

At this time, Nini next to him spoke again, "But I heard from Shanshan that her father doesn't like riding in a car, so the Governor should not be in this car."
