In the main ship of Carefree Sword Star Pirates, an enraged roar reverberated like thunder, shaking the entire ship.
"Bastards! You dare to stab me in the back!"
In the captain's room, Captain Free Sword's complexion was pale as blood was trickling down from the corner of his mouth, and his bloodshot eyes were emitting bloodlust. It was the result of losing connection with the puppet, which held a trace of his blood and connected to him by mystic signature.
Not only did he lose an extremely valuable, advanced, unique rank, Mimic Puppet, but he also lost Masha, who was more useful than the other members of the crew right now.
But what Captain Free Sword couldn't understand was how Masha suddenly lost consciousness without even being able to activate her teleportation talisman. No, more importantly, who did those two see through their guise?
Furthermore, when Captain Free Sword thought about how that giant blew off the Mimic Puppet with a signal punch, he felt a chill running down his spine.
"He is a peak rank, unique! Just what in the hell is Dark City doing here?" He muttered with coldness creeping over his skin.
Vile Horn was also silent with an ugly expression. He didn't think they would encounter this kind of situation in the epic plains, of all places. Not even unique plains had ever dealt this kind of damage to them.
Now, they had lost eleven strong men in just two weeks, which was completely unacceptable. Furthermore, they were still in completely dark about their enemy's might and trapped in this place.
At this moment, Captain Free Sword finally calmed down and frowned darkly when he sensed something, and the next moment, a glowing vermin transponder appeared in his hand.
His expression grew extremely ugly because this call was from his enemy. Grounding his teeth, he activated it.
"I'm very disappointed in you, Mr. Pirate. I thought we had an understanding between us, yet you dare to trick me with some puppet? Do you think, since I'm from epic plains, I'm easy to deceive?" Sofie's cold voice rang.
Captain Free Sword and Vile Horn's expressions went even more ugly as they knew their opponent had really seen through their tricks. They had really underestimated the Dark City, and they finally understood why no one dared to mess with them.
Now all they could do was to blame their own damn poor judgment to poke this hornet nest.
"I'm willing to compensate you for this transgression, and I still want to negotiate with you. Please give me another chance, and this time, there will be no tricks." Captain Free Sword stated with suppressed killing intent in his eyes. He felt an ant of epic plains had shattered his pride. He has been bested!
"Hehe, so you seek forgiveness again? It is your second offense, yet you still dare to seek partnership with me? What a shameless little coward you are." Sofie's voice was filled with disdain and mockery.
Vile Horn trembled with rage, while Captain Free Sword was on the verge of spitting blood with anger. No one had dared to ever talk with him like that.
"Sigh… I really need a coward like you this time, so I'm willing to give you another chance. Come here, I'm waiting for you in the same spot, but you have an hour before you won't get another chance.
"Don't make me send information about you back to the unique plains. I know, since you guys are hiding like cowards here, you had a pretty nasty enemy back there. I wonder if they hate you enough to cross the star ocean to hunt you down. Furthermore, I'll get rewards the same so, this is really your last chance. Hehehe…" The call ended with her mocking laughter.
Captain Free Sword and Vile Horn's expressions changed when they heard about the last part. They didn't think about this problem until now.
"This bitch is too much!" Vile Horn gritted his teeth as he never expected he would feel like this for someone from the epic plains.
Captain Free Sword muttered darkly, "We are dealing with a true big wig. Whether it's in epic plains or unique plains, these people had minds of crooks, and they never let benefits go. This woman knows what she's doing, and from start to end, everything is under her control.
"She even dared to stay, and this time, she didn't say to come alone or with my entire crew. She just said to come. At least this confirms that she is not afraid of our crew and really needs something from us."
Vile Horn's eyes narrowed as he felt a sense of danger, "So, is it really okay to go there? What if she is just baiting you there?"
Captain Free Sword's eyes when deadly cold as he replied, "Yes, there are high chances of this as well. But we have no enmity between us, and she knew I needed something from her, so she probably wanted to take advantage of our situation. We are more useful alive than dead to her. So, there is a 70% chance she will talk.
"But if she's really just trying to play hunter, she's too green to make me her prey. Go, sail the ship in her direction. Let's meet this wily bitch and find what she's after." He ordered Vile Horn while he left toward a secret room to prepare for this meeting.
Captain Free Sword wasn't an idiot, and he cherished his life more than anyone else, so he had to make sure nothing happened to him. If he sensed even a trace of danger there, he'd escape without hesitation!
On Masha's ship, Jacob smiled looking at blushing Sofie as she felt embarrassed from her acting in front of Jacob. But she tried her best, and it seemed the other party really fell for it as well.
"You did great. Now, let's see if he comes alone or with his entire ship. If it's the former it would be troublesome a little, but if it's the latter, I need you to escape through the sea. I'm going to claim that ship for myself, and this battle is not something you could participate in. I'll find you once I'm done." Jacob ordered.
Sofie hesitated for a moment before she nodded and agreed to this arrangement. After all, earlier, she felt Jacob's power when he blasted that puppet for a moment, and she knew this man was probably invincible!
