Chapter 659: Capital Investigation Team
Thinking this, Su Jiu yawned and her gaze followed to the other side of the sea. It was still a crimson sea. She paused and continued asking, “Do you know what organization those pirates belong to? Or specifically, how many strong individuals there are?”
“I only saw pirate flags, I couldn’t tell what faction they were from. According to Teacher Lin Chujiu, their leaders should be High-Rank Battle Kings. We only have her as a High-Rank Battle King here.”
On the other end of the phone, Su Ze’s voice was accompanied by fragmented discussion. He quickly replied, his tone carrying a hint of helplessness, “Our route is from the East Sea to Tokyo Bay. We are currently near the second to last large island in the Izu Islands.”
“Alright then, I’ll go to Tokyo to wait ahead of time. I’ll have my employees pick you up now.”
Lowering her voice, Su Jiu donned her sunglasses, crossed the window, and landed steadily on the ground. She looked at the restrained small boats on the shore, waved her hand lightly, and whispered:
“Shadow One, Shadow Two, and General Feng… come out.”
She planned to visit the largest embassy in Tokyo to see if she could exchange some points for High-Grade Magic Crystals or Top-Grade Magic Crystals. She had checked the government App on her phone earlier, and in such large embassies, she could arrange for precious items to be sent over from the New Year.
High-Grade Magic Crystals cost 100,000 points each, and Top-Grade Magic Crystals required 600,000 points. After giving gifts and shopping, her accumulated miscellaneous points reached nearly a million.
The moment she waved, thin black lines appeared behind Su Jiu, stretching past her. Following their path towards the small boats, two figures appeared—Shadow One and Shadow Two.
One was responsible for steering the boat, and the other for finding the map’s direction.
Then, red mist slowly descended from the gourd onto the boat, and General Feng’s figure gradually appeared. He gripped the sword in his hand, and his physique stood on the boat like an iron tower, giving the impression of a wandering swordsman in the heart of a swordsman.
Su Ze on the phone was stunned for a moment, then anxiously interrupted, “No, cousin… this place is very dangerous. Relying solely on your subordinates… employees won’t be able to handle it. If possible, please try to call for support from the local Tokyo authorities.”
He had never heard that Su Jiu had started a company! These employees are they… Yierlin Tao Er Ling VII Teacher Ba Ling Meng what the heck?
Blinking her eyes, Su Jiu said softly, “Big Cousin Su Ze, don’t worry. With their strength, dealing with these pirates is more than enough.”
“This…” The male voice on the other end of the phone became bewildered, unsure how to respond.
“Teacher Su Ze!! Did you get through to them on the phone?”
“Quickly have the person on the other side help us call the local government…”
A student’s voice exclaimed on the other end of the phone, sounding a little anxious, with a slight tremor in their words.
“Su Jiu…”
Just as Su Ze was about to say something, on the other end, Su Jiu tossed the communicator to General Feng and loudly commanded, “The task is yours. Bring everyone back safely.”
“Yes, Boss!”
Three voices sounded almost simultaneously. Shadow One immediately started up the yacht, instantly pushing away the red floating object, her arm trembling slightly with excitement.
She had always wanted to drive this modern small boat after watching Su Jiu drive it these days.
“General Feng’s strength is enough to fight even a slightly weaker Beginner War God.”
Watching the three spirits depart, Su Jiu yawned again and then ambled towards a nearby aircraft station. It was still some distance to Tokyo, and she didn’t want to be conspicuous like E Huo. Taking a plane to Tokyo was the most reasonable choice.
…
Over the vast crimson tide, the sounds of large monsters occasionally echoed, their colossal figures occasionally revealing shadows in the water, causing the sea to churn with waves, making the gentle sea breeze tense.
On the surface of this crimson tide, more than a dozen light cruisers surrounded a huge passenger liner. If one looked closely, they would find that the light cruisers bore faction insignia of two different colors, but both were related to local pirates. Clearly, they had their sights set on the cargo of this large liner and intended to carry out a kidnapping.
On the deck of the large liner, a large group of students dressed in golden scholar robes stood nervously, their faces filled with panic.
Their gazes were now focused on the young man at the bow of the ship. The young man held a tomato-like alchemical item, stood still for a few seconds, and then hurriedly shouted into it:
“Hey! Cousin?”
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, followed by a Dragon Country dialect with a strong Japanese accent: “Please calm down, sir. The Boss has already left…”
Upon hearing this answer, Su Ze’s expression became grim. He hurriedly advised, “Didn’t you hear me say there are High-Rank Battle Kings here? If you don’t call for local government support, you’re simply courting death!”
The other end of the phone seemed not to understand his words at all and no longer replied. Instead, it placed the phone aside, and only the faint sound of an engine could be heard.
“Damn it!”
Su Ze called out a few more times. Seeing that he received no reply, he became utterly frustrated and slammed the communication device onto the ground.
His cousin didn’t seem like an unreliable person. Why did she have such unreliable subordinates?
“Teacher Su Ze, I heard from my Grandpa that your cousin is a rather legendary figure. Given her usual style, she would absolutely not act rashly.”
At this moment, an equally sweet-looking, petite girl approached and bent down to pick up the communicator. She looked young but wore a teacher’s outfit similar to Su Ze’s.
The girl had long wine-red hair that cascaded down her back to her hips, with slightly curly ends. She wore a half-golden long dress paired with sheer white stockings, making her calves appear quite shapely.
She looked very much like Su Jiu, also liking to wear those black platform shoes to heighten her stature.
She tilted her head slightly, revealing a gentle smile that exuded warmth. “She even participated in that World Championship and helped Dragon Country win. Have more confidence in your cousin.”
Su Ze fell silent. He actually didn’t know Su Jiu as well as this principal’s granddaughter. Whenever he asked her:
What kind of person is Su Jiu, and why does she receive such high praise from the Principal?
She would always use the excuse of the season’s competition to dismiss his curiosity. However, Su Ze felt that the Principal’s attitude when talking about Su Jiu was strange—not like discussing an accomplished junior, but like discussing a peer.
The old principal of the capital once smiled and said, “Su Ze, your Su family has produced an extraordinary individual.”
Su Ze looked through the formation shield of the large liner at the faces of several Asians on the other side. Those faces seemed to have noticed their situation and let out muffled laughter.
The big bearded man in the lead, with a square face, showed a hint of smugness. He rubbed the broadsword in his hand, which was emitting flames, and spoke a few words in common tongue:
“Heh heh, hand over your liner’s cargo and women, and I can let you all go…”
Upon hearing this, the expressions of everyone on the ship changed slightly, especially the girls, whose faces turned a little pale. Lin Chujiu lightly stepped onto the deck, reaching the front of the ship, and said softly:
“You can’t be pirates. Even the most rampant Redbeard in the nearby waters wouldn’t dare to easily intercept students from Dragon Country’s universities. They would at most demand a toll.”
On one of the light cruisers, the big bearded man narrowed his eyes, a hint of cold light flashing through them. He chuckled and said calmly, “Can’t other pirate factions attack you? Have you been surrounded for so long that you’ve become stupid, little girl?”
As soon as he finished speaking, the pirates on the opposite light cruiser all let out lewd laughter, as if mocking Lin Chujiu’s wild guesses…
“Heh heh, no need for that. I saw Redbeard’s flag on your ship. What are you trying to do? So hard to guess~”
Lin Chujiu maintained her lazy and unhurried demeanor. However, what she said caused all the pirates’ laughter to cease abruptly. The eyes of the bearded pirate leader showed a look of shock. He instinctively glanced towards the inside of the ship behind him, but found nothing. Realizing something, he turned and growled, “You damned bitch is trying to trick me?”
“Heh heh…”
Lin Chujiu smiled even brighter. She was not afraid of the pirates’ anger. If they could break in, they would have already done so without wasting time here trying to persuade them to surrender.
