Wow! The item-dropping rate is really high!-Chapter 951 - 667: Bonds

Just as they were talking, the ship's communicator suddenly rushed in to report.

"Boss! Boss! Their Blood Claw suddenly asked us to come over."

The one-eyed woman's gaze instantly sharpened, filled with danger, "What does he want to do again?! What's there that can't be spoken over the voice channel?"

"I heard... they've obtained a key clue, and fear voice communications might be monitored. Such important intelligence needs to be exchanged face-to-face, so they've invited us over to discuss strategies. It's not just us, they've also contacted Rusted Hook."

"Key clue?" The woman frowned in thought, then asked, "Where's the meeting point?"

"On an asteroid..."

Pirates don't trust one another; going onto someone else's ship could mean ambush and betrayal, only a temporarily selected uninhabited asteroid puts them at ease.

Moreover, during the meeting, all three factions' ships would aim their main cannons at the asteroid. If their own leader encounters danger, they'd immediately fire and self-destruct, dragging the leaders of the three factions down together.

The woman tapped her fingers on the chair's armrest, nodded after a moment, "Alright, got it. Tell Blood Claw we will accept the invitation."

Then she looked at her deputy, "Got more work, have Guang come with us this time."

At their first meeting, this seemingly fair-faced and youthful-looking big boy saved her.

Although the crisis was only entertainment during her leisure, the boy's own strength is not to be underestimated.

At least currently on her ship, apart from tactical command, this boy is also the ship's number one fighter.

...

On the asteroid.

"Where's the key clue you mentioned?"

"Clue? What clue?" Blood Claw sneered.

Being Bai E's pushed forward puppet, he quickly accepted his persona.

As a pirate, he knows well that the strong are revered.

With Bai E's strength, anywhere he goes he can become a boss, right?

He is stronger than him now, so just follow him.

Until the day he shows weakness, that's when he'll turn on him, but for now...

Blood Claw is Bai E's most loyal dog!

"Today I've invited you over just to say one thing... Surrender or be destroyed. You don't have a third option."

The crippled Rusted Hook Leader glared at Blood Claw, "Are you mad?! Up there are my two warships' main cannons along with Night Owl's aiming at you, you dare make a move against us?!"

"If I dare say these words, naturally I have my own confidence. You only need to choose... surrender or be destroyed." Blood Claw felt quite pleased putting on tough words.

Normally he wouldn't have the ability to say such words to leaders of pirate groups of similar scale.

But now, he can just boast, for the words he says, someone will help him realize them.

"Humph!" The cripple snorted coldly, stood up.

Although it's incredible that the other dared say such words with two warships' main cannons aimed at him, since he dared say it, maybe he really has some means.

Feeling vaguely apprehensive, he stood up to leave, "I don't have time to play these boring tricks with you, since Captain Blood Claw does not want genuine cooperation, then our cooperation ends here. In this inheritance competition, we're not allies anymore."

"Did I allow you to leave?!" Blood Claw shouted furiously, as a figure moved faster than his words.

Almost before anyone could react, a shadow had already shot to the cripple's side.

Completely unresponsive, the cripple felt a sharp pain in the limbs, and was pressed under someone's single hand.

The Night Owl female leader's pupils shrank, her first reaction reaching for her waist weapon.

"Take action!" The cripple's men reacted swiftly too, yet in the next moment, they felt a terrifying pressure descend from the sky.

Spiritual Energy enveloped the area like a tangible substance, the dreadful pressure making nearly everyone present unable to lift their heads.

"What are you waiting for?!" The Night Owl female leader shouted with difficulty, her movements suppressed.

At this time, apart from Guang having the capability to break the stalemate, no one else can be relied upon.

"Wait!"

Xu Ruoguang suddenly stepped forward, staring intensely at Bai E as he shed his disguise and showed his cold side profile.

"Ma... master?"

Bai E turned to look, his icy demeanor slightly cracking.

"Xu... Xu Ruoguang?" He recalled the name from his memory.

"Yes! It's me!" Xu Ruoguang's face immediately grew excited, "I've finally found you, my lord!"

The sudden twist left everyone present unexpectedly, Blood Claw looking at Bai E with increasing astonishment.

They've been rivals for years, he clearly knows the level of the Night Owl's female leader.

Yet this guy named Bai secretly planted his man inside their team without anyone knowing, and even became a core member... terrifying indeed.

"Save the reminiscing for later..." Bai E temporarily didn't have the time for past discussions, "Right now..."

He was unsure what changes these players had over time whilst dispersed. After encountering vast forces in the universe, whether they still recognized him as Li Ming's leader was unknown.

However, right after his words fell, Xu Ruoguang suddenly kneeled on one knee, his voice resolute, "Li Ming, Xu Ruoguang, swears allegiance to my lord till death!"

Night Owl's female leader's fingers froze, her deputy beside her trying hard to pull her sleeve, "Boss! I said this pretty boy wasn't trustworthy..."

Before the words were even finished, she reversed and pinned the deputy's hand.

Seeing the fervent expression in Xu Ruoguang's eyes from the side, her mouth curled into an understanding smile, ordering, "Night Owl members, lay down your weapons! From today onwards, obey only this lord's commands!"

Rusted Hook Leader's face turned livid.

The triangular balance has been broken, Night Owl has defected, solo resistance is tantamount to suicide.

"I... I surrender too."
