When disaster struck, I became a big shot surviving in the ocean.-Chapter 335 - 231: Hunter Pirate Holds a Conference
Following Shang Jia into the conference room on the Demon Dragon Ship, Chen Qing sat down at Shang Jia’s left, directly across from You Gu, with Shuangwei seated next to her.
Although the reef area gathers many pirates, hunters, and survivors, only a handful truly qualify to step aboard the Demon Dragon Ship and enter the conference room.
Even the main table in the conference room wasn’t fully occupied.
Thanks to Chen Qing, Chen Cheng boarded the ship, but unfortunately, he didn’t qualify to come inside.
The meeting officially started once the pirate group captains, bounty hunters, and select survivors invited aboard had arrived.
Honestly, how formal can a gathering of ’Hyenas’ be?
"Shang Jia, you gathered us here because you’ve figured out who made the move, haven’t you?"
Hunter Huang Wu asked, crossing his arms and frowning.
"Got some clues."
Shang Jia stretched his legs leisurely onto the table, very relaxed.
Chen Qing glanced around, already understanding, but she stayed silent.
"Since there are clues, just hurry up and tell us, don’t keep us in suspense." 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖
"Yeah."
"You’ll know by just noticing who’s missing among us."
Shang Jia’s eyes flashed with disdain, speaking coolly.
"Who’s missing?"
Shuangwei furrowed his brow, wondering who could be missing.
Isn’t kidnapping supposed to follow some sort of ranking by strength?
Why haven’t any families and nobles been kidnapped?
"You mean those families and nobles?!"
Shuangwei’s eyes lit up, right, only those powerful families and nobles could orchestrate such large-scale kidnappings!
"Hmm... You’re half right."
What Shuangwei said wasn’t incorrect; the mastermind is definitely a noble or a large family from the Deep Blue Sea.
But besides them, there’s someone else they’ve overlooked.
"You mean... White Immortal?"
A hunter’s expression turned complicated, but besides White Immortal, no one else had such vast energy and calculating schemes.
Always stirring trouble.
"..."
The room fell silent at once.
Damn that White Immortal, they haven’t even offended her!
This is ridiculous!
"It’s her."
Shang Jia confirmed.
This definitely has ties to White Immortal, even if she’s not the mastermind, she’s certainly furthered this agenda!
Chen Qing wasn’t surprised; looking at the network of the missing people.
Linking it to the previous situation with Lian Nai on the Parati Islands and how White Immortal abducted Lian Nai later.
There certainly must be something big going on.
"White Immortal probably wants to spark a war between us and the nobles, forcing us to ally with her against those nobles."
Chen Qing slowly spoke, sharing her thoughts.
Upon hearing Chen Qing’s words, hunters and pirates were instantly skeptical.
"What, she wants to end the war early?"
"What a joke, would that person really have such good intentions?"
"Exactly, that person has a heart like it’s been soaked in poison,"
Though Shang Jia is notorious in the Deep Blue Sea, among hunters and pirates the least popular was Yuan Fei.
Many here have suffered secretly because of White Immortal, and many pirates and hunters have met their demise at her hand.
Shang Jia showed disgust as if encountering something unclean.
It’s truly distasteful, to stand on the same front as White Immortal.
White Immortal calculated very accurately, precisely gripping everyone’s lifelines here.
Getting Chen Qing to abandon rescuing Chen Miao... frankly, she couldn’t bring herself to do it.
If Chen Qing couldn’t do it, then no one else could either.
"Figured out who’s behind this?"
You Gu looked at bounty hunter Gushan Shoutu, asking quietly.
She was the most informed among them.
"The Elemental Sea nobles."
Gushan Shoutu’s expression wasn’t pleasant; dealing with the Elemental Sea nobles, those magic families, she’s really harassed.
"Are you sure?"
Hearing this, everyone frowned involuntarily.
The families from the Three Rich Seas aren’t easy to provoke, especially as Gushan Shoutu hasn’t specified which family.
This means, all families are involved!
But once realizing it’s those scoundrels who did the kidnapping, what is easy or hard to provoke...
There’s no one in this world they don’t dare to provoke!
If these people were timid and overly cautious, they wouldn’t have reached their current position.
"Hmm."
Gushan Shoutu lit a cigarette, nodding slightly amid the smoke.
Shang Jia leaned against the chair, anxiously biting her nails.
She wasn’t worried about those family influences, but about the lives of those who were captured.
"If it’s them, then... are they still alive?"
Huang Wu had an uneasy premonition, this feeling was strong.
In the silence, the Witch Hunting Pirate Group captain opened his mouth to ask.
"What, are you planning to brush this matter aside if they’re dead?"
Shang Jia sneered, what a joke, kidnapping them and then acting as if nothing happened.
Do they really think these hunters and pirates wouldn’t have any reaction?!
Judging by those nobles’ actions, they truly didn’t put Shang Jia or the others in their eyes, otherwise they wouldn’t have executed such a large-scale kidnapping.
"Those nobles often act arrogantly, but they’re not brainless."
"They dared to offend us all at once because the benefits from taking those people are incredibly huge!"
Shuangwei’s intelligence rarely kicked in, quickly analyzing the situation.
The hunters and pirates present glanced around, making eye contact, Elemental Sea ...
The richest among the Three Rich Seas.
"..."
Everyone fell into silent contemplation, none willing to be the first to speak the words.
"What now."
Chen Qing dropped her previously crossed legs, stood up, overlooking everyone, her voice cold.
"Do it!"
Shang Jia grinned, her sharp Shark Teeth seemed ready to tear the prey into pieces at once.
"Count me in!"
Shuangwei slapped the table, the damned one’s, daring to touch Fei Huo’s body, if she didn’t twist those nobles’ heads off to use as soccer balls, then she’s not Shuangwei!
"Damn, it’s time those noble families in the Deep Blue Sea truly understood the power of our poor three seas!"
You Gu didn’t hesitate, immediately choosing to stand on Chen Qing and Shang Jia’s side.
Gathering in the reef area, whether pirate or hunter, everyone was without exception from the poor three seas.
The Elemental Sea nobles were good at selecting targets.
In their eyes, people from the poor three seas were indeed inferior to those from the Three Rich Seas.
"I’m laying it all down too! Crush those bastards!"
"Rob money, rob resources, rob territories!"
With Chen Qing leading, the remaining hunters and pirates leaped up, instantly following through with their plans!
Those waiting outside seemed to sense the war’s lethal atmosphere, suddenly emanating a torrent of
bloody sea storms, coming soon!
