LGHTNOVELBOOK Chapter 215: Join Us, Black Hunter!_2
"The weaklings of the Blood Blade Pirate Group should remember," the Gunfire Queen said, "the Black Whale Group's strategy is always a step ahead of you. We have already obtained quite a bit of data from the naval research base. If there's an opportunity, your ships might end up surrounded by a swarm of Black Pig Sharks...
And the entire Blood Blade Pirate Group might be devoured by the wave of monsters we've been researching."
The notion of being surrounded by a swarm of Black Pig Sharks shocked everyone in the Blood Blade Pirate Group.
Though it was evident that the Mage exaggerated a bit, the signs indicated that such an event wasn't impossible.
After all, the Mage, who wasn't just a Beast Tamer, had managed to keep a fierce Shell Dragon calm at the moment.
If there had been a Legend Beast Tamer, he could have controlled hundreds of Black Pig Sharks.
The only one who wasn't worried was Chen Qi.
What's this guy up to... Chen Qi glanced at the dazed Shell Dragon.
Like the Black Pig Sharks, it had been implanted with some kind of device, which is why it could be controlled by the Mage in front of him.
"Wuuuu—"
The Shell Dragon suddenly lurched forward, looking pitiful, wanting to get closer to Chen Qi.
Chen Qi couldn't help but step back from the creature's seaweed-covered, hideous dragon head.
"Don't rush, don't rush~"
The Mage squatted down and gently stroked the Shell Dragon beneath his feet:
"My little dragon, now is not the time to go to war."
The instant the Shell Dragon was stroked by the Mage, it moved closer to Chen Qi.
Ah, such a murderous monster, have you chosen your target already... the Mage stood up:
"Alright, everyone, time is pressing. I am here to propose a trade."
A trade? Fenrir roared loudly, trying to regain the upper hand:
"I have no interest in whatever trade the Black Whale Group is proposing!"
The corners of the Mage's mouth curled up slightly:
"Why the hurry? Wouldn't it be better to listen to the offer first?"
Then, he pointed his blood-colored finger at Chen Qi and the Flower Witch.
He wanted the two of them!
"Give us those two, and we'll trade the information from the research base and fifty million Shell Coins, plus this Shell Dragon under my feet! And we'll pull out of this operation at the naval base!"
Sigh...
Want us? Chen Qi and the Flower Witch were momentarily stunned.
This Mage had gone to great lengths just to target them.
Moreover, pulling out of this operation meant the Black Whale Group would suffer an unimaginable loss.
Chen Qi was inwardly shocked, the value placed on him and Fen was truly high!
"Get lost!"
Fenrir, as a Warrior of the Blood Blade Pirate Group, didn't hesitate at all when he shouted in rage.
The Mage spread his hands helplessly:

"How impolite. Well then... We'll not take the Witch, how about it, Black Hunter, join the Black Whale Group instead?
As a bridal gift, we're willing to give the Blood Blade Pirate Group fifty million Shell Coins, plus a Shell Dragon. We're also willing to sign a Shell Contract, agreeing not to attack the Blood Blade Pirate Group for the next three days!"
To join, a bridal gift... Chen Qi listened, bewildered once again.
Shouldn't they be buying my life? Why do they want me to join?
Although the tone wasn't kind, it seemed like the Black Whale Group wanted me to join them... Chen Qi thought carefully.
On the Bounty Order, the Black Whale Group's demand for him was also to capture him alive.
Could it be that the Black Whale Group really wants me... Chen Qi speculated in his mind.
The Mage immediately flashed a smirk:
"A small Hunter from the vast ocean, in exchange for such a substantial reward? Quite appropriate, right?
And don't worry, Hunter, we mean no harm. We're just interested in your reputation. If you join the Black Whale Pirate Group, we won't shortchange you.
I know the Blood Blade Pirate Group values allies, but right now, I'm simply offering Mr. Hunter a better opportunity, a chance to conquer the seas with us.
As long as you join us, money, beautiful women, Skill Cards, the latest Transcendent weapons—everything you could dream of."
Everyone fell into a brief silence.
Even the relationship-oriented Fenrir was dumbfounded.
The Black Whale Group's size could be attributed to their relentless recruitment efforts.
Many people like Chen Qi, who had made a name for themselves, ended up being incorporated into the Black Whale Group.
The Gunfire Queen Carol, the Black Hunter, the Dragon Tamer King Jie, the Black Death Doctor...
Once, they were all terrifying legends known throughout the seas.
Fenrir didn't speak for a moment.
And worry bloomed above the Flower Witch's head in the form of small blue flowers.
The rewards offered were extremely impressive!
Fifty million Shell Coins, plus a powerful Shell Dragon, and three days of truce.
Most importantly, the three days of truce.
In those three days, the Blood Blade Pirate Group could make significant strategic changes in the war.
An immense, invisible pressure weighed on Fenrir's shoulders like a boulder.
Lately, the situation for the Blood Blade Pirate Group wasn't good... Fenrir glanced at Chen Qi for his opinion, seeking his consent:
"Mr. Hunter..."
Fen also sprouted a tiny flower of shock on his head.
Chen Qi fell into deep thought.
He was no longer a slave to be thrown away at will; through various deeds in the vast sea, he had caught the attention of the Black Whale Group.
In fact, joining the Black Whale Group wouldn't lead to immediate death; on the contrary, his strength would soar.
If his Deep Sea Affinity talent were revealed, the unscrupulous Black Whale Group would value him even more, nurturing him as a core member of their team!
