Chapter 1426: Chapter 1426: Gained His Own Power_1

The pirate leader, Dave Hill, had never expected to encounter such a formidable person. As he stood there watching his men approach the villa unobstructed, a smile spread across his face.

However, just as his smile surfaced, a sonic wave suddenly hit, and he watched as his men collapsed one by one.

Dave Hill, too, collapsed a little later, also overcome with confusion.

Ten minutes later, Peter Brown turned off the sonic device and walked out of the villa. When the door opened, he saw the butler had also fallen there.

Peter Brown took out the silver needles he had prepared and stuck several into the butler. Regardless of the butler’s loyalty, Peter felt compelled to restructure his brain domain.

On this matter, Peter was all too familiar; he didn’t hesitate at all. After injecting the needles, Peter said a few words to the old man, ensuring his loyalty before moving on to the two cooks.

Indeed, the two middle-aged women had also collapsed there, and Peter adjusted their consciousness with his needles.

After instilling loyalty in the three people closest to him, Peter finally stepped outside.

Looking across the area in front of the villa, he saw a swath of people lying down.

The power of technology is truly awesome!

Witnessing his entire pirate army defeated, Peter once again realized the impact of technology on the mortal world.

He continued down the road, restructuring people with his needles.

Luckily, Peter had ample stamina; doing so many people would have been life-threatening for anyone else.

After making his way through the crowd, Peter arrived in front of Dave Hill.

Looking at the pirate leader, Peter couldn’t help but be amused—the pirates in the area were all his now.

It took Peter almost two hours to deal with everyone there.

By the time he finished, the pirates gradually regained consciousness.

However, their gazes towards Peter were now filled with respect.

"From now on, you must be loyal to me, as my private army!"

After saying this to Dave Hill and the others, Peter instructed Dave Hill to take roll.

"Attention, Master, all 126 people I brought are here," Dave reported.

"Take your men and seize the big ship, then bring the people on board to me."

Once Dave Hill had left, Peter glanced at the other pirates, shaking his head—you could tell from their ragged clothes that they were not faring well.

Thanks to Dave Hill’s help, Peter easily won over the newly arrived personnel, bringing his number of subordinates to 138.

"You all take people to empty your dwellings and gather here," Peter told Dave Hill before sending the Pirate Army on their mission.

After the pirates departed, Peter had the cooks prepare a meal and sat down, eating while deep in thought.

For Peter, his current objective was to continually grow stronger, then use his power to benefit more people.

After winning over more than a hundred people, Peter checked his achievement points and found they had barely increased.

This showed that altering their wills didn’t truly earn him achievement points—the points must come from giving, with gratitude received in exchange.

After eating, Peter walked over to the village.

Along the way, Peter observed the villagers’ surprise. He didn’t believe the villagers were unaware of last night’s events; they were likely debating why the pirates hadn’t overrun him.

As he looked at each family’s home, Peter shook his head again—the living conditions were so poor that it was heartbreaking, which explained why so many turned to piracy.

Peter didn’t make any grand speeches to the villagers; his philosophy was to address problems step by step.

After looking around for a while, Peter called Reynard Johnson.

In fact, Reynard hadn’t slept well last Night either, too aware of the situation here. The Johnson Family had originally wanted to turn this place into one of their bases and even built some villas, but after completion, they realized development was impossible due to constant pirate raids and the loss of so many family members. No one dared to stay on the island anymore, which led to the sale to Peter.

According to the Johnsons’ analysis, Peter would be facing a pirate attack just a few days after his arrival on the island.

They even had word from a pirate insider that a pirate leader named Dave Hill planned to lead an assault on the island.

Though Dave Hill was a minor pirate figure, his well-equipped men posed a significant threat to the island.

Reynard had considered dispatching police officers but Peter had refused, leaving him puzzled.

Answering Peter’s call, Reynard urgently asked, "How are things on your end?"

"Nothing serious. I plan to invest heavily in development and want to redesign the island. I’m planning to build a city here, but I lack a construction team."

Reynard replied, "You would need the Army for protection; otherwise, the construction workers will be too scared to come."

Peter realized this was true—only with Army protection could there be development. "For now, I just need some Active Panel Houses for people to live in; that should be doable, right?" he asked.

"That should be fine for the short term. I’ll send police officers to maintain order, after all, that place is a town. Delivery of Bulldozers, Excavators, and other equipment should enable quick completion, though it’s going to be costly."

"Money is not an issue. I’ll put 100 million into it," Peter declared.

"With 100 million, I believe quite a few construction teams would be willing. I’ll arrange that for you." Reynard was supportive in this regard, viewing Peter as part of the Johnson’s influence and curious to see how Peter would develop things.

After finalizing the plans, Peter waited on the island.

After a day, Dave Hill arrived with several large ships, followed by chests of treasures being moved into Peter’s villa. The pirates had completely relocated there, swelling their ranks to several hundred.
