Lin Xuan acted swiftly, directly placing a collar around Roswald Saint's neck!
As for the female Celestial Dragon, Charloss Saint, she didn't escape the same fate.
However, neither Lin Xuan nor Uchiha Madara laid a hand on her.
Uchiha Madara chose a far more humiliating method—using genjutsu to control her father and brother, forcing them to put the collar on her themselves!
Charloss Saint screamed in terror, "No! I don't want to wear this! Father! Brother! Get it away from me! I am a noble Celestial Dragon—I can't wear something like this!"
Even with her limited intelligence, she understood that once this thing was around her neck, removing it would be nearly impossible. The explosive device inside could threaten her life at any moment.
More importantly, this was the mark of a slave. Even if she managed to remove it later, she would forever be a disgrace among the World Nobles, never able to hold her head high in front of other Celestial Dragons again.
Unfortunately for her, Uchiha Madara had no intention of caring about her protests.
After a futile struggle, with a click, the third Celestial Dragon slave was born!
Seeing all three Celestial Dragons now collared, Lin Xuan nodded in satisfaction. "You know, these collars actually look pretty good on you!"
"You—!"
Roswald Saint and his son were released from the genjutsu, and upon hearing Lin Xuan's words, they nearly fainted from sheer rage!
This was the ultimate humiliation!
Compared to the severe injuries they had just suffered, the shame they felt now was ten, no, a hundred times worse!
They had always prided themselves as descendants of the world's creators, revered by all, enjoying countless privileges. They took pleasure in enslaving others at will—never had they imagined they would one day be collared and turned into slaves themselves!
The thought of becoming laughingstocks among the Celestial Dragons drove Roswald Saint into a frenzy. "You're finished! The Marine Headquarters will kill you two damned bastards! They'll definitely kill you!"
Charloss Saint also shrieked, "You lowly scum! How dare you insult us like this?! You'll die horribly—the Marines will turn you into swiss cheese!"
Lin Xuan remained unfazed by their curses. In fact, the more they raged, the more it proved how deeply his actions had affected them, which meant even more reputation points for him. He was practically delighted.
Moreover, Lin Xuan was already considering his next move to further amplify the impact of this incident.
This opportunity to earn reputation points was too rare to waste. Just moments ago, the fleeing bystanders had already spread the news, likely causing an uproar across the entire Sabaody Archipelago. Lin Xuan had already gained 100,000 reputation points, and the number was still climbing!
So now, he had to seize this chance to harvest even more reputation points!
Uchiha Madara, however, grew tired of the Roswald Saint family's endless cursing.
"Enough! You're just repeating the same nonsense—aren't you sick of it? I sure am!"
With that, he strode forward and delivered a brutal slap to each of them, sending them flying and tumbling across the ground. Only then did peace finally return.
Meanwhile, Lin Xuan suddenly turned to Rayleigh with a grin. "Hey, old man Rayleigh, want to buy a couple of Celestial Dragon slaves for fun? Since we're so close, I'll give you a discount!"
Rayleigh: "..."
Should I say what I'm really thinking?
Who the hell is 'close' with you two?!
In the end, Rayleigh chose to say nothing and simply turned to leave.
He had no desire to stay entangled with Lin Xuan and Uchiha Madara any longer. If he lingered until the Marine fleet arrived, escaping would become impossible!
Lin Xuan didn't stop him, letting him go freely.
After all, the old man had already contributed all the reputation points he could today. In Lin Xuan's eyes, he was no longer useful.
Once Rayleigh was gone, Lin Xuan cheerfully called out to Uchiha Madara, "Alright, let's head out!"
Uchiha Madara frowned. "Are we running? I thought you said a Marine Admiral was coming?"
As he spoke, he shot Lin Xuan a disdainful look.
For a moment, he had thought Lin Xuan was as lawless and unrestrained as he was. But now, it seemed the guy was just a coward!
Lin Xuan, realizing the misunderstanding, wasn't offended. He simply replied, "Relax, I won't let you miss the chance to fight a Marine Admiral. But no matter how fast the Marines move, it'll still take time. Don't you think, instead of waiting here, we should take these three Celestial Dragon slaves for a stroll? Let everyone get a good look at them?"
As he spoke, he thought to himself: Such a great tool for farming reputation points—how could we waste it?
"WHAT?!"
The Roswald Saint family, who had been pretending to be unconscious, immediately jolted awake at Lin Xuan's words.
Until now, they had clung to one last hope—that once the Marines arrived, they would kill Lin Xuan and Uchiha Madara, rescue them, and then silence everyone who witnessed this incident to protect their reputation.
But if they were paraded around in public like this, wouldn't the entire Sabaody Archipelago learn that they had been collared like slaves?!
The mere thought of it made them forget their injuries. They scrambled to their feet, desperate to flee.
Unfortunately for them, Uchiha Madara wasn't about to let them escape so easily.
