Chapter 231 Hunters and Pirates Hold a Grand Meeting
Following Shangjia into the conference room on the Demon Dragon, Chen Qing sat down to Shangjia's left, with Yougu directly opposite him, and Shuangwei sitting next to her.
Although the reef area is home to many pirates, hunters, and survivors, only a handful of people are truly qualified to board the Dragon Ship and enter the conference room.
Even the main table in the conference room wasn't full.
Thanks to Chen Qing, Chen Cheng got on the ship, but unfortunately, he wasn't allowed to enter.
The meeting officially began only after the pirate captain, bounty hunters, and a few survivors who had been invited aboard the ship arrived.
To be honest, how formal can a gathering of a bunch of hyenas really be?
"Shangjia, did you gather us together to find out who did it?"
Hunter Huangwu crossed his arms and asked with a frown.
"There's a clue."
He casually crossed his legs and put them on the table.
Chen Qing looked around and understood what was going on, but she remained silent.
"Since you have a lead, just tell us already, stop keeping us in suspense."
"that is."
"You'll know once you see who's missing."
A hint of disgust flashed in Shangjia's eyes as he said coldly.
"Who's missing?"
Shuang Wei frowned deeply; who else could be missing?
Why is kidnapping ordered by strength?
Why don't we see those families and nobles being kidnapped?
"You mean those large families and nobles?!"
Shuangwei's eyes lit up. That's right, only powerful families and nobles could kidnap so many people on such a large scale!
"Hmm... half right."
What Shuangwei said wasn't entirely wrong; the mastermind behind it all was definitely a noble family or a powerful clan from the Deep Blue Sea.
However, besides them, there was one person they overlooked.
"You're not talking about... Bai Xian, are you?"
One of the hunters had a complicated expression, but apart from Bai Xian, it seemed that no one else possessed such power or such deep cunning.
They're always stirring up trouble.
"..."
Everyone present fell silent instantly.
That damned Bai Xian, they didn't even offend her!
Are you sick?!
It's her.
He added with certainty.
This matter is absolutely inseparable from Bai Xian. Even if Bai Xian is not the mastermind, she definitely pushed this matter forward!
Chen Qing was not surprised, judging from the network of relationships among the missing persons.
Considering the situation on Rena Island in the Parthia Islands, and the fact that Hakusen later abducted Rena.
Something big must have happened here.
"Bai Xian probably wants to provoke a war between us and the nobles, so that we will have no choice but to join forces with her to deal with those nobles."
Chen Qing slowly opened his mouth and expressed his thoughts.
Upon hearing Chen Qing's words, the hunters and pirates present immediately expressed disbelief.
"What does she want to do? End the war prematurely?"
"Are you kidding me? That guy wouldn't be that kind."
"Exactly, that guy's heart is like it's been poisoned,"
Despite being infamous in the deep blue seas, Hara is actually the most unpopular among hunters and pirates.
Those present had suffered many losses at Bai Xian's hands, and quite a few pirates or hunters had died at her hands.
Shangjia looked even more disgusted, as if he had been touched by something unclean.
It's disgusting that they would actually stand on the same side as Bai Xian.
Bai Xian's calculations were spot-on; she precisely seized the lifeline of everyone present.
To ask Chen Qing to give up saving Chen Miao... to be honest, she really couldn't do it.
If Chen Qing couldn't do it, no one else could either.
"Have you found out who did it?"
Yougu looked at a bounty hunter, Gushan Shoutu, and asked in a low voice.
She was the most well-informed among them.
"A noble of the Elemental Sea".
Koyama Hisato's expression wasn't very good. Getting involved with the nobles of the Elemental Sea, those magical families, was really giving her a headache.
Are you sure?
Upon hearing this, everyone present couldn't help but frown.
The Fuyu Sanhai family is not to be trifled with, especially since Gushan Jutu's family is not explicitly identified.
This means that all families are involved!
But as soon as I thought about how those bastards took the people away, I didn't care about who was easy to mess with or not...
There's no one in this world they wouldn't dare mess with!
If these people were timid and hesitant, they wouldn't have reached their current positions.
"Um."
Koyama Tomoto lit a cigarette, and amidst the swirling smoke, she nodded slightly.
Shangjia leaned back in his chair, biting his nails with some anxiety.
She wasn't worried about the power of those families, but rather about the lives of those who had been captured.
"If it's them, then... are they still alive?"
Huangwu had a bad feeling, a very strong feeling.
In the silence, the captain of the Witch Hunter pirate crew spoke up.
"What, you think you can just let this go after they're dead?"
Shang Jia scoffed. "What a joke! They kidnapped their people and now they want to pretend nothing happened?"
Do you really think these hunters and pirates are spineless?!
Considering the character of those nobles, they must have really disregarded the Shangjia, otherwise they wouldn't have gone so far as to kidnap so many people at once.
"Those nobles may often be arrogant, but they are not brainless."
"They dared to offend so many of us at once, it must be because the profits they could gain from kidnapping those people are enormous!"
Shuangwei, unusually quick-witted, rapidly analyzed the situation before her.
The hunters and pirates present looked around, exchanged glances, and realized it was the Elemental Sea.
Of the three seas, this is the richest.
"..."
Everyone remained silent, and no one spoke first.
"What?"
Chen Qing put down his crossed legs, stood up, looked down at the crowd, and spoke in a cold voice.
"Let's do it!"
With its jaws wide open, the sharp shark teeth looked as if it were about to tear its prey to shreds.
Count me in!
Shuangwei slammed her hand on the table. Damn it, how dare they mess with Fei Huo! If she didn't twist the heads off those nobles and kick them around like footballs, she wouldn't be Shuangwei!
"Father, it's time to let those noble families in the Deep Blue Seas truly understand the strength of our impoverished Three Seas!"
Without hesitation, Yougu chose to stand on Chen Qing and Shangjia's side.
Those who gathered in the reef waters, whether pirates or hunters, all came from impoverished seas.
The nobles of the Elemental Sea are quite selective in their people.
In their eyes, the poor in the Three Seas are even more inferior than the rich in the Three Seas.
"I'm going all out! I'll kill those bastards!"
"Rob money, rob grain, rob land!"
With Chen Qing and the other two taking the lead, the remaining hunters and pirates immediately stood up and responded to their plan!
The others waiting outside seemed to sense the chilling atmosphere of war, and suddenly erupted in a deafening roar.
A bloody storm is about to break!
