Chapter 126 Mu Tong's Ambition

Somewhere outside the kitchen of the tavern, the miserable slaves were squatting there.

Hou Qi squatted among the group with a resentful look in his eyes, his tone tinged with envy, "Haru is so lucky, he actually managed to get into the restaurant to eat with those little brats."

"Yeah, yeah, this Haru looks dumb, but unexpectedly he's quite smart. He actually knows that relying on children is the most effective way to help you."

The other simple-minded and strong-limbed pirates nodded eagerly, not understanding the other meaning in the skinny monkey's tone, and simply expressed their envy.

After these few days of tossing and turning, they have lost a lot of their anger.

At least in the past, if they had seen such a good restaurant and such delicious food, they would have rushed up to plunder it, but now, they dare not do so.

Dog online humble.

They were afraid of being caught and having another record of the offense, and then being punished with electric shocks. It was freezing cold, and they might not be able to recover before they felt as cold as the icy snowflakes.

Zach's face was frozen blue, and he didn't care about Haru or not. He looked at the road outside with tired eyes and frowned, "Why haven't Jason and the others come back from picking Danmu fruit yet?"

He covered his rumbling stomach and couldn't bear the anxiety. He felt like his entire stomach was about to be burned through.

The other pirates were the same, staring eagerly in that direction, their heads swollen with hunger. "Yeah, that's enough time for them to run back and forth. Now we're the only ones picking the Danmu fruits, they won't be delayed because of fighting with others, right?"

Hou Qi's eyes rolled around, and he glanced at the downtrodden Zack beside him, mumbling to himself, "Big Boss, when do you think Second Boss will be able to come rescue us? Jason and the others only have three days of labor reform left. After the remaining two days of touring, can we go out and report to Second Boss about our situation?"

"Huh?" Zach's rough face was blank for a moment, then he frowned tightly. "This global village is so strange. Even if my second brother is smart, it would be difficult to rescue us. Let's not get them into this too."

Zack was very wary of the Global Village, so he hid his special abilities. These past few days, he had been doing his tasks cautiously following the system's prompts, and he didn't dare to escape directly with his special abilities.

To be honest, every time he passed the village gate, there was no one guarding it and he was only a few steps away from freedom, but he had a hunch that if he stepped out of the village without permission, his end would definitely be miserable.

It was precisely because of this beast-like intuition that he had been able to serve as the leader of the space pirates for so many years without failing, so he did not dare to act rashly.

Hou Qi sneered in his heart. The boss was still so stupid. Even if he didn't accidentally fall into the Exile Planet this time and was not accidentally captured and made a slave by the Global Village, he was afraid that he would not live long.

Mu Tong's ambition is written all over his hypocritical face, but the boss can't see it and treats him as a good brother wholeheartedly.

But he still had to rely on the big boss, so he continued to pretend to comfort him, "Don't worry, big boss. The second in command is very resourceful and will definitely not fall into their hands as easily as we did. Besides, it's been a few days, and the second in command knows the direction we disappeared. Now Jason and the others are here too. Maybe the second in command is already lying in ambush outside, planning how to rescue us."

He looked at Jason, who was returning with a bunch of Danmu fruits, and deliberately shouted, "Don't you think so, Jason? Are the Second-in-Command and his men already planning to rescue us? So they sent the six of you in first to scout the way?"

Jason's face froze, and he even slowed down his pace a bit. He said awkwardly, "This..."

As the confidant of the second-in-command, how could he not know what the second-in-command was planning? If Blackbeard from the Black Bear Tribe had not wanted to find out the truth about the Global Village, he would not have been sent out this time. He would have followed the second-in-command to Chaos City long ago.

Moreover, as his confidant, he tacitly knew that the second in command wanted to set up his own business, but he could not say it out loud, and now he could not let the first in command know it.

So he quickly changed the subject with an averted look, "Boss, you guys must be hungry, eat quickly, this Danmu fruit will rot in an hour if it leaves the tree."

A group of starving pirates didn't notice his change of subject and rushed over as soon as they saw the red fruit.

"Hurry up, give me one, I'm almost starving."

"Hey, I've been sweeping snow all morning. I'm tired too. I really want to go back and have a good sleep. Being a slave is so damn hard!"

"Boss, you eat, you eat"

The complaints and nagging directly drowned out Jason.

Hou Qi curled his lips, snorted, and followed suit to get one and squatted down to chew on it.

But he still didn't let Jason go. He kept asking while eating, "Jason, you haven't answered the boss yet. When will the second boss come to rescue us? We are almost dying here. The boss is such a noble man, how can he be condescended to be a slave here?"

Jason glared at the monkey with resentment, his face stiff and dry as he said, "Second, Second Commander is also in trouble. We encountered a magnetic core storm before, and Second Commander took us to hide in the Black Bear Tribe. Now Second Commander is not feeling well, I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to get here for a while."

Tsk, that kid Mu Tong probably thought they were dead and was not feeling well, but he didn't even come up with a good excuse. Jason, who was full of foul language, even used aristocratic tongue twisters. I knew something was wrong when I heard it.

Hou Qi thought while cursing.

But their boss, this fool, believed it.

"What? Second brother is injured? Where is he injured? Is it serious?"

After Zack finished eating a fruit, the burning sensation in his stomach finally eased a lot. He then frowned and looked at Jason nervously and asked.

Jason glanced at them with a guilty look and took a few steps forward. "Well, it's nothing. I just had some issues with my powers. You know the Second-in-Command has psychic powers and is easily affected by magnetic core storms. His powers were damaged while he was protecting us, but the Second-in-Command said he'll be fine after some rest."

Hearing this, Zack breathed a sigh of relief. "That's good, that's good. When you get out, tell my second brother not to rush to rescue us, but to cultivate his superpowers first. Although this global village treats us as slaves, it doesn't intend to kill us at the moment. We won't die yet."

Jason quickly nodded in agreement, "What the big boss said is true. The big boss is sensible. The second in command will definitely be very touched when he hears this."

After dealing with it, Jason's back was almost covered in sweat in the cold weather. His eyes darkened and he secretly cast a resentful and vicious look at Hou Qi.

It’s all this kid’s fault. He almost got exposed in front of the boss.

Hou Qi snorted and glared back, cursing in his heart, "What an idiot Zack is. He actually believed such an easy-to-see-through lie."

But he was not afraid of Jason. The punishment facilities of the Global Village were still very reliable. He was not worried that Jason would kill him secretly when the boss was not paying attention.
