Let’s Squander A Billion First!

Chapter 2126: Chapter 2126: King of the Pirates (17)

The Third Island Lord couldn’t even get on the stage, let alone fight her, so all he could do was stare.

However, Chuzheng’s chaotic actions continued, catching the Third Island Lord completely off guard.

She suddenly started distributing silver to the islanders.

Third Island Lord: ”????”

”Capture them, and you’ll be rewarded.” Chuzheng pointed gracefully at the Third Island Lord and his men.

The islanders were visibly startled. This...

Confronted with the island masters, the islanders hesitated and did not dare to act.

Chuzheng stood above, mysteriously declaring, ”This is the will of Lord Sea God.”

Islanders: ”...”

”What are you doing!” The Third Island Lord rebuked, ”Don’t forget who led you to the life you have now!”

”Stop!”

”Block them!”

”Everyone stop!”

The Third Island Lord’s rebuke had no effect; the islanders began to pounce on them.

There were far more ordinary residents on the island. Although the pirates were skilled, they had family mingled among the people.

Moreover, with more islanders, a few holding down one person created a chaotic scene. In the disorder, who could guarantee they could break free?

The Third Island Lord retreated, protected by his men, only to run into another batch of islanders who had heard the commotion.

”Hurry! They’re rebelling!” The Third Island Lord took the initiative, trying to rally these islanders to his cause.

The islanders looked at the pursuers and did not move.

Among them were their relatives and friends.

”What’s happening?”

”Why is there a fight? Wasn’t there supposed to be an execution of traitors?”

”Why is the Third Island Lord being chased?”

”What are you all doing!” The Third Island Lord raised his voice: ”These people have gone crazy!”

”...”

The pursuing islanders quickly shouted, ”It’s the will of Lord Sea God! Lord Sea God wants to capture the Third Island Lord. Third Island Lord, we’re sorry, please come back with us.”

Lord Sea God!

The islanders’ reverence for the Sea God clearly surpassed their loyalty to the Island Master, so when these words were spoken, people began to stir.

Third Island Lord: ”...”

These fools!

-

The islanders chased the Third Island Lord away, leaving the square significantly emptier. Chuzheng crouched in front of the Great Island Lord, resting her chin as she gazed at the sky and casually chatted with him: ”Do you think they can catch the Third Island Lord?”

The Great Island Lord ground his teeth: ”You’re not the Sea God, you’re a devil.”

Chuzheng tilted her head to meet the Great Island Lord’s eyes, which were filled with hatred, speaking calmly: ”If that’s what you think, there’s nothing I can do.”

Great Island Lord: ”...”

”Don’t worry, I won’t kill you.” Chuzheng reassured the Great Island Lord, she wouldn’t even consider it.

”...”

Is she planning to humiliate him then?

Clearly, the Great Island Lord overthought it. Chuzheng waited for the islanders to capture the Third Island Lord, merely imprisoning them once caught.

Then...

She reportedly went to ask the islanders for pearls, completely disregarding them.

The Great Island Lord nearly died from anger.

Humiliation!

That was humiliation!

-

Who would have thought that in just half a day, the whole Phantom Island would change hands?

Zhuang Ping didn’t expect it either.

He thought he was doomed, but who knew he’d not only survive but snag a steward position.

Heaven and hell are truly just a thought apart.

If he had panicked and betrayed her when caught, he might already be beyond saving.

The capture of the Great Island Lord and the Third Island Lord drew many from the pirate group to her side, as Chuzheng used the ’Sea God’ as a guise, exerting little effort.

But...

[Main Quest: Progress to become the Pirate King 48%]

Why!

Hasn’t she already become the Pirate King?

Why is the progress only so little!

The wretched game must be broken!

Chuzheng kicked the table in frustration.

Startled, Zhuang Ping quickly retreated: ”Miss... Miss?”

Chuzheng contained her anger: ”What do you want!”

”...” Why does she seem scarier than before? ”The people at the Island Lord’s Mansion have been counted, but... Miss Ye Xiuxiu, what should be done with her?”

Chuzheng replied matter-of-factly: ”Give her to her father, or do you want me to take care of her?”

”... But the Great... is imprisoned in the dungeon.”

”Then send her off, don’t break up their family.” Chuzheng waved her hand, motioning for Zhuang Ping not to bother her.

Zhuang Ping: ”...”

Can that phrase be used like that?

Zhuang Ping, nervous, dared not ask further.

Can Ye Xiuxiu really survive if sent away like this?

Zhuang Ping doubted it.

”Oh, right, Miss...” Zhuang Ping remembered something else and quickly spoke: ”The Second Island Master isn’t on the island, he took a group back, and when he returns, there’s bound to be trouble.”

”What’s there to fear? By then, the entire island will be ours; just take care of him at the dock,” Chuzheng boasted.

Zhuang Ping: ”...”

”Anything else?”

”Nothing else.” Zhuang Ping swiftly left the room, and as soon as he exited, the window was pushed open, Mi Yun climbed inside, his soft sword pointed at Chuzheng.

”You came again, grandson.”

”...”

Mi Yun’s hand trembled; was this never going to end?

He had only spoken offhandedly then!

”I knew you were up to no good!” Mi Yun righteously shouted: ”I didn’t expect your appetite to be so big, wanting the whole island.”

Chuzheng glanced at him, lazily pouring tea: ”Are you any good?”

”Of course I...” Wait! She’s leading me astray! ”What are you really up to?”

”Haven’t you seen? Setting up my own territory.” Haven’t I made it clear enough?

”...” Do you even know what you’re doing with ’setting up a territory’? ”Where are my elder brother and Third Brother!”

”In the dungeon, do you want to join them?”

”Absolutely...not!” Mi Yun felt his hand tiring and withdrew the soft sword: ”I’ll tell you where the island’s treasure is, but in return, you have to promise me something.”

He didn’t have any regard for the Great Island Lord and the Third Island Lord.

To Mi Yun, whoever became Island Master didn’t matter much.

His wish was to leave here and explore the outside world... but they always captured him, trying to indoctrinate him with some nonsense.

Mi Yun was fed up.

”...”

Who cares.

Anyone who throws money is a devil! Must be eradicated!

Chuzheng gestured for him to leave, or she’d lock him in the dungeon.

”You’re not after gold, silver, or jewels... what are you doing! Stop!” Mi Yun hurriedly climbed out the window, as a chair hit the window frame, breaking apart, the pieces falling inside.

Mi Yun popped his head in: ”What’s wrong with you, I’m helping you here!”

”No need, if you don’t leave now, I’ll imprison you,” Chuzheng coldly threatened.

”...”

Mi Yun’s expression was indescribable as his head withdrew and disappeared.

”Can’t you let me say a few words?” Mi Yun’s head popped back: ”My brother hasn’t returned yet, he took quite a few people with him, when he comes back...”

Chuzheng interrupted icily: ”When he comes back, it’ll be time to collect your corpse, why don’t you tell me what kind of coffin you want, and I’ll pass the message.”.

”... No need for that.”

Mi Yun retreated, this time truly gone.
