Chapter 284: CCLXXXIV. Indestructible Union
Flado’s face was ashen.
"You get your hands dirty for me, and I will invest in your trade company."
Flado had been watched over by Taylor since he was young, and Taylor did not wish to kill him personally.
"Mr. Tai, you must keep your word."
Liszt’s eyes shone bright; Taylor’s arrival meant that another big shot would surely follow suit.
"Come!"
Flado hated Liszt to the core, and now, pushed to madness, his face was fierce and twisted.
However, Liszt merely gestured with his hand.
Female Archer Violet had already shot an arrow through Flado’s head, the force so great it completely penetrated his skull.
"What era are we in that we’re still using traditional bows and arrows?"
Bang!
Morison fired his double-barreled shotgun, the shotgun shells exploding out and blasting Flado’s not-yet-fallen body overboard into the sea.
Taylor’s voice carried a tone of reluctance, but his eyes followed the execution process emotionlessly, unreadable, uncertain whether he felt a sense of loss or had resolved some internal struggle.
Liszt had now truly seen how fierce the Magic God and Sea God could be.
"Damn it, let’s take on Doringger directly when we get back to shore."
Liszt believed they could have taken Doringger down in a second, though he was just talking tough.
Meanwhile, Ben from the underworld was also watching the situation unfold. He felt there was no need to hesitate any longer. Although Liszt still couldn’t beat Doringger, the potential here was immense. Showing loyalty now meant he would become a core member with an official title and nobility. After this battle, he completely appreciated the prestige of Black Sail, and with Taylor investing too, how could the blessings be small?
"Such a decision cannot be made."
Ben proposed, mentioning the Peak Competition Pirate Group, General Beima, and the Evil Mages—all just the tip of the iceberg. You can’t imagine Doringger’s capabilities.
Time passed quickly.
Three o’clock in the afternoon.
Rein and Mika did not come to the rescue because they did not know about it at all!
The Twin Group’s hotel had been handed over, some basic medical equipment had been purchased, including infusion devices, stretchers, of course, various drugs, and an alchemy platform.
In the Western Continent, mixing plant extracts with various new pharmacological solvents and experimental works called for an alchemy platform.
With a place and the equipment, it was naturally time to recruit people.
Mika knew someone.
Known as... the Queen of Streetwalkers in Heavenly Fairyland!
She was a big deal.
The name was not given lightly.
In Heaven Port, there were certainly sex workers forced into slavery, fed hallucinogens to foster addiction, or were outright violently controlled.
However, about seventy percent of the sex workers were free agents.
In a place where the less physically strong women could not find decent jobs due to the education gap, they naturally had to engage in traditional professions, trading their services willingly, simply wanting to make money to lead a better life.
But often, you couldn’t just decide to sell yourself; you had to ask if the local gangs agreed. Without someone to protect you, selling yourself in Heaven Port meant a dire outcome, where no law existed, and no one would care if someone killed you—in every sense of the word.
And the said Queen of Streetwalkers in Heavenly Fairyland was rumored to be the widow of a prominent gang leader in the Western Continent. After the Triad Gang leader’s death, to avoid the ensuing chaos, she fled to Heaven Port with her personal guard and wealth. She had many tough women under her command who were proficient fighters, covering a significant part of the island’s sex workers, ensuring their freedom to trade. Anyone who mentioned her name and paid her dues on time was kept in her good graces.
Mika found this queen since he didn’t know where else to recruit from, considering the volume of people needed.
In Inner City, within a building imbued with the style of the Far East Islands.
She was around forty years old, still radiating charm, one of the Yisu people, with purple fox ears and a tail. For her age, her skin was incredibly firm, clothed in a split-qipao, elegantly holding a smoking pipe.
She looked at Mika with that kind of gaze reserved for complete idiots—if Mika weren’t a major sponsor, her supreme VIP here, she would have kicked him out already.
"Big sis, that’s just the way it is, for the girls here, you should find some more serious work, too."
Mika smirked mischievously.
Rein let out a weird, cackling laugh.
He dared not even imagine it! A hundred nurses serving him alone, kneeling pillows, an assembly line of kneeling pillows!
That wasn’t just some dynamic light wave, that was an energy bomb!
Kame Kame Ha!
Mika went back to tinkering with his special drug concoctions, unlimited firepower, different strokes for different folks, you name it, he had it.
The pipe-smoking woman’s jaw dropped.
"You two...did you come here after taking drugs?"
She took a deep drag on her pipe, judging by their mental state, that was the only conclusion she could draw.
And a few young girls were massaging her shoulders and back, a dainty sex worker speaking in the dialect of some place in the Western Continent cooed, "Oh my, you talk tough, but are you playing or not?"
At this, Mika’s soul nearly melted.
"Play, of course, I’ll play."
Mika was ready to cause a stir.
And the pipe-smoking woman was well-informed about the island’s events; a Shield Maiden clad in leather armor, with a fierce face and a robust build, came in and spoke to her about the strange happenings at the port.
Liszt returned to shore with a bloodied Taylor.
"Liszt, huh...isn’t this the new Boss? You two seem to be Liszt’s people," the pipe-smoking woman remarked indifferently about the power struggles. It made no difference to her who came out on top.
"Ah?"
Rein was confused, why did he always learn about big events from outsiders?
Seven in the evening.
Inside Taylor’s manor, a luxurious banquet had already been set up to entertain the Black Sail crew.
All this was thanks to Tani’s fierce intuition, as well as her swift judgment and execution.
Had Liszt and the others arrived a few minutes later, the situation at Heaven Port would have been entirely different.
Because it was an emergency gathering, Claude, who had been preparing for his wedding, had not made it to the rescue.
When Taylor found out that someone in Black Sail was getting married, he was incredibly generous, offering that the wedding could be held at his estate.
Claude readily agreed, satisfying both him and his wife, ensuring safety, dignity, and since the attendees were all acquaintances, there would be no issues.
The banquet hall within the manor was elegantly decorated, with a herringbone patterned floor, fluorite chandeliers casting a soft glow, and during the new year, the long tables covered with silk tablecloths were laden with delicious food; the cutlery was all silver.
But the Black Sail folks weren’t fussy, Morison started eating with his hands, dazzled by how delicious it was, thinking that after this meal, he would be thoroughly pummelled by Doringger.
"Caroso acting as your witness, and the Heavenly Punisher from the Holy Spirit Church is giving the blessing, isn’t that a stroke of fortune?"
Archer was there with a big drink, naturally following along, teasing Claude.
Liszt was speechless, that caveman, damn him, had been trailing from Londen City all the way to now; he had to pick a day to really turn his guts over, charging at Doringger and taking the lead was a must.
Caroso, also rarely joining in the fun, had heard they brought Fafna over and was inquiring about her performance, extremely satisfied with the outcome.
But this Dragon Girl was a bottomless pit, the Holy Spirit Church gained a reputation, Liszt provided the funds, it seemed quite good.
Although it was a hospitality banquet, of course, there were serious matters to discuss. Liszt wiped his mouth, preparing to go with Taylor to the side room to hash things out when...
Tani came over to his side.
Liszt swallowed, feeling something significant was about to happen.
