Chapter 274: CCLXXIV. Blackmail

"I did indeed do this job, but I’m not taking it anymore. Mmm... Heroic Level adventurer, exemption check strong plus 8, Reflex plus 7, Will plus 11. Strength 18, agility 15, Constitution 14, Intelligence and charisma let’s just say 0 for now, possessions: likely to drop junk and human flesh."

Morison spoke these cryptic words, influenced by a card game, he had become a doomsday survival fanatic.

"Don’t go adding random character traits to yourself, hey! That’s what you get from playing card games."

Mika couldn’t understand at all. Why would anyone drop human flesh, hey, what’s the use! Influenced by the card game from Lostra, Morison had lost his wits, gone crazy. He didn’t want to be a director, didn’t pursue luxury cars and beauties, instead, opting to be a stay-at-home geek from the anime world.

"Wow! You look so impressive!" Rein was baffled, Brother Sha’s skill was profound, his greatsword had no edge, his mastery of the craft was unparalleled, his combat power detector was ready to burst, maybe Morison really had such abilities, "Is it like some sort of high technology similar to Frieza?"

"Frieza’s not bad."

Mika was greatly shocked, he had an epiphany. He had said that Dragons were legendary creatures, unseen in a person’s lifetime, not so easily found. It turned out that Liszt had already collected the seven Dragon Balls and summoned Fafna!

Here it comes! He wished to have millions of hospitals, to shelter all the world’s prostitutes and make them happy!

"Check for me, how much am I?"

Rein was extremely curious.

"What’s there to see about you, of course it’s those two pairs... no, those two beauties."

Mika, now of a higher status, coughed twice, put on airs, donning a flashy outfit from head to toe in a pink suit. Now that he could find any woman he wanted, as an adventurer, he directly provided for them.

The Female Archer felt disgusted; this person’s gaze was so blatantly lecherous it made her skin crawl.

The other Female Mage seemed intrigued, licking her upper lip with her tongue. She was open to advances, and that Werewolf of hers must be sizable too.

Fisher felt something was off, completely unable to understand what they were talking about, but for some reason, he found it terrifying.

"Do you still remember me?"

Honor Level adventurers greeted Morison; though it was a level he had trained up to, with the support of a few bosses by his side, he was not afraid.

"I always have no impression of minor characters. What do you want from me?"

Morison twirled a dagger playfully. These people were coming on strong. It might be a good opportunity to test Maple Forest; a few of them seemed capable fighters.

"That’s the thing, although you don’t remember, I’ve worked with this young fellow before. We’re adventurers heading for the New Continent."

While speaking, Fisher casually wiped the blood off his legs, not giving it any thought, "I heard on the island that a guy named Qi Li said that Liszt is the big boss around here, wanting to talk to him about a partnership."

As pirates who roamed dangerous areas year-round, Morison and the rest had sharp instincts. They might be there to discuss anything, but definitely not a partnership.

"About the partnership, it doesn’t matter who you talk to here. I’ll just state my terms. You guys don’t look like you have a ship, so the price has to be lower. For your group, five Golden Dragons a month, how you split it is up to you. Whatever goods you get from the New Continent must be sold through us, and we will pay."

Mika spoke seriously for once.

"Is it that simple..." Fisher felt helpless. It seemed like these people were set on preventing him from meeting Liszt. Talking to these minor players was futile; he needed to meet the top player for a real challenge, "I have a distant relative on the third batch test operational train, you see..."

Having said that.

The Black Sail crew all had a slightly more threatening look in their eyes.

"Please."

Morison said, smiling without mirth.

Five minutes later.

The bedroom on the upstairs of the inn.

"Are you ready?"

"Hmm..."

Liszt had already finished warming up through the clothes in front of him, and was now preparing to take from both front and back, shooting from both sides.

Mo Yutong had her hands propped on the table, hair disheveled, wanting to glance back, but decided against it.

Just as Liszt was about to undo her cinched waist belt, an untimely knocking at the door came, but he couldn’t care less about any knocking.

Mo Yutong shook her head at him, indicating there would be other opportunities.

Liszt felt like he was going to spit blood.

Two minutes later.

Liszt came to the second floor of the inn, where Fisher and his companions were already sitting, having learned their lesson from before, they did not act too boldly, still hoping for a peaceful resolution, to just take the money and leave. Simple as that.

Many core members of Black Sail were out and about, only a few were present, creating an atmosphere filled with dread. The whole room was filled with the smell of gunpowder, ready to explode at the slightest ignition.

"You must be Liszt, not much resemblance to your picture in the Warrant. Gawain, you really are not a true friend, calling us to Aran, then sending us away. Now that you’ve made it, passing by your door, you don’t even offer a bowl of congee, that’s pretty lame."

Fisher sat upright with a dignified demeanor, commanding respect from people like Doringger, though it was unclear if it was genuine or not.

"This is my... an acquaintance of mine, as you know. Back in Aran, I wrote letters to others, and they’ve guessed the gist of it—it’s about money."

Gawain swiftly changed the subject. He had already tried to persuade Fisher but to no avail, for Fisher seemed to have backup plans in Aran.

Lu had met this man a few times during her travels with Gawain and knew he wasn’t good news.

"I don’t understand. Heaven Port is my turf. Are you planning to extort me on my own ground?"

Liszt also found it somewhat amusing.

"We’re all straightforward people, so let me be direct. There are specific Aran government officials forming a pursuit team, investigating this matter. Although they publicly claim it was a malfunction, other newspapers have already spread the news that it was a robbery. And this pursuit team, who knows how far along they are? Maybe clueless. If I can’t leave through this door, my friends in Aran, they have loose lips, like to snitch, sorry about that."

Fisher’s face looked sinister to the extreme, casually sipping his drink, indifferent even though he had been given the crappiest cut-rate booze.

"Damn impressive."

Shadi didn’t know what else to say; Liszt should have been prepared for this, he was such a shrewd person, he must have anticipated such a scenario.

Liszt mused for a moment. This guy brought so many people with him, several of whom were Heroic Level adventurers, not ordinary folks. If it were outside, he’d need to be cautious, but did they see who he had in his crew?

Although Dreya took the lion’s share, say ninety percent chance, Liszt also counted himself among those who had single-handedly taken on the Twin Group and Skull Club. Not to mention Brother Hai, who stood tall and claimed he was, for now, something of an Undying Body.

Undying Body, what kind of concept was that? Liszt dared not imagine.

Fafna’s little face carried confusion as she looked at the sinister tattoo of a deadly serpent on Fisher’s neck, even creeping up onto his neck. How cool!

"I want one!"

Fafna pointed at Fisher’s neck.

"What do you mean by ’get one’? He’s just really into playing Genshin Impact."

Wolman scolded her. These past few days, Fafna had eaten all the Red Crystals from Morison and Mika, she couldn’t withstand such recklessness. About twenty Red Crystals, four thousand Golden Dragons... Sister, such an amount of money had to be put to good use, she must be well-educated to grow up with knowledge, virtue, and fitness.

However, Liszt asked an unexpected question.

"How much do you want?"

He posed the question to Fisher.

Not that Liszt really intended to pay, he just wanted to see how big these people’s appetites were. Now short on manpower, acquiring a few free laborers wouldn’t be bad.

Moreover, he did have some concerns. The Aran Officials, those personalities, weren’t on the same level as these wild characters. A few Marcuses and Joshuas and he’d be done for.
