Chapter 212 Shuangwei and Feihuo plot together in the Parti Islands
After emerging from the deep sea onto land, the once sparsely populated coastline is now bustling with survivors, and the docks are filled with countless ships.
Originally, the island had fewer than 50,000 survivors and natives, but now the population has suddenly surged to more than 100,000.
Many survivors are still on their way.
It's not just survivors, but also many caravans, bounty hunters, and pirates.
The once lifeless island suddenly became lively.
This is the impact Chen Qing has had.
No wonder the Barbara family insisted on using Chen Qing to raise their banner.
However, Barbara, who came to find Chen Qing, was not very happy to see such a prosperous scene on the island.
Things were far beyond her expectations; far too many people had come.
In the battle against the Delugu family, even at the height of their power, the Barbaro family was defeated, let alone now.
With so many new members suddenly joining the Red Team in the Faroe Islands, I'm afraid the Drugu family might do something...
Barbara felt a growing unease; the situation wasn't looking good.
She certainly didn't care about the survivors' deaths, but Barbara worried that it would cause her to lose the last remaining territory and personnel of the Barbara family.
Chen Qing's thoughts were similar to Barbara's. With so many more survivors, the Delugu family would definitely intensify their offensive against the Barbara family's two islands.
However, this has nothing to do with Chen Qing.
Since they took advantage of her fame, they should naturally bear the corresponding consequences.
Chen Qing had expected that many survivors would come to the island, but she didn't expect that even Shuang Wei and Fei Huo would come here.
This was unexpected.
Chen Qing had little contact with these two people; he had only met them twice.
This bounty hunter duo, who are almost inseparable, were mingling in the crowd, squatting under a coconut tree eating boxed lunches. Their idle and roguish appearance made them look like street thugs.
That's really down-to-earth.
Shuangwei has sharp eyes and immediately spotted Chen Qing and Barbara.
"Oh."
She quickly finished her lunchbox and greeted Chen Qing.
"..."
For some reason, Chen Qing sensed a smell of poverty emanating from these two people.
She was very familiar with this taste.
"What happened to those two?"
Chen Qing turned his head to look at Barbara beside him and asked.
Aren't these two always working as mercenaries for those big corporations?
She didn't think the Barbara family could afford to hire both of them.
"I heard that Shuangwei lost a lot of money at the Blue Crystal Island Casino in Gem Sea."
“A very large sum.”
Barbara emphasized this point.
"..."
If Barbara emphasizes that it's a very large sum of money, then it must be a lot.
Gambling, prostitution, and drugs are indeed harmful.
"What about Scarlet Flame?"
“Hikaru and Futami always act together, but she doesn’t have that habit—”
Barbara suddenly frowned. There had never been any news like this before. With Scarlet Flame watching over things, Shuangwei shouldn't have caused such a thing.
It seems there's more to this than meets the eye.
Regardless of the inside story, both Shuangwei and Feihuo are now penniless.
"Long time no see, Chen Qing. I heard you've been getting pretty close with Shang Jia Yougu lately."
Shuangwei and Feihuo came up to greet Chen Qing and Barbara.
"..."
Fei Huo looked at Shuang Wei speechlessly. "Listen to what you're saying. You're just trying to provoke me right away."
"She means you've been doing well lately."
The Scarlet Flame Gang's Shuang Wei explained.
"Yes, yes, yes."
Shuangwei nodded quickly. She had never been good at emotional intelligence, but she didn't need this thing anyway.
"Is there something you need?"
"You two are planning to take action against the Delugu family, right? Count us in."
Shuang lowered her voice and said excitedly.
"..."
Hibiki rubbed her forehead, looking utterly dejected.
"From now on, please shut up."
She reached out and covered Shuangwei's mouth, stopping her from speaking.
“We received word that the Dlugu family has sent the twins, Nelly and Zibel, here. They should be on Dawn Island by now.”
"Barbara, you should know how strong these twins are. Your chances of winning against them are not high."
Apart from those few pirates, no one else knew about the information Chen Qing received from the law enforcement officers.
They wouldn't gossip about Chen Qing for no reason, so people outside don't know that Chen Qing has a super henchman.
"I heard they also dispatched quite a few survivor groups, Chen Qing, you should be quite familiar with them."
"Just like Shuangwei said, we want to join your operation this time, and we will do our part wherever we can."
"With the two of us here, those twins won't be paying attention to you."
Fei Huo and Shuang Wei meant that they would help share the firepower, and in exchange, Chen Qing and his team would take them along on their mission.
They are both really poor now, much, much, much poorer than Chen Qing.
At least Chen Qing had family assets, while they were bachelors with nothing but their own strength.
While on Blue Crystal Island, Shuangwei was also framed.
Neither of them wanted to take sides. Being mercenaries was fine, but completely siding with one side was absolutely unacceptable!
The income from robbing pirates can no longer keep up with the rate at which they spend money and accumulate debt, unless they go and rob pirates of the caliber of the Ghost Bone Pirates.
Suddenly you can make tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars.
However, while targeting Yougu and her group yields substantial profits, the corresponding expenses are also terrifying.
If those pirate crews were so easy to deal with, they wouldn't have been able to roam freely until now.
The war between the Red and Blue factions is not only what is on the surface, but also a behind-the-scenes struggle, with both sides desperately trying to drag the entire deep blue sea into the fray.
Bounty hunters of the caliber of Futaba are highly sought after by them.
With Shuangwei and Feihuo vouching for him, many bounty hunters will surely flock to him.
On the high seas, the stances of bounty hunters and pirates are always wavering, while adventure groups and exploration teams always have a stable patron.
They are very powerful, and both the Red and Blue teams want to win them over.
To be precise, it's about exploitation and oppression.
The reason why Pella Sakaki, who was captured by the Demon Dragons, was able to obtain such a large ransom for them was not because the Sakaki family feared the power of the Demon Dragons and their pirates.
If this person falls into the hands of the Red and Blue factions, they will definitely be able to extract even more valuable benefits from the Sakaki family.
Instead of simply goldfish, scrolls, skills, factories, and the like.
Give them to Demon Dragon and her pirate crews; this is a one-time deal.
If it were the red and blue teams, it would be a relentless, gradual squeezing of resources.
Anyone would know which option to choose, which is why the Dragon Pirates obtained the ransom so easily.
Both sides were fully aware of the situation.
Shuangwei was rather unlucky; as a top bounty hunter, she was set up, but luckily she had a close friend who was willing to help her.
The two tried every possible way to escape.
How dare they scheme against them? Do they really think their titles as two top bounty hunters were bought?
Once this matter is resolved, they will make sure the people behind the scenes thoroughly understand how they managed to get to where they are today!
However, their immediate priority is to seize a large sum of money, as both Shuangwei and Feihuo are extremely short of cash.
"Your original plan was probably just to plunder the Faroe Islands, right?"
Scarlet Fire revealed Chen Qing and the others' original plan.
"You want to go to the Parthia Islands."
Chen Qing affirmed.
"Oh, right."
Scarlet Fire snapped her fingers and smiled slightly.
The Faroe Islands were emptied out by the Delugu family long ago; even if some resources were left behind, they wouldn't be worth much money.
However, if it were the Parti Islands, where the Delugu family resides, they could easily rob hundreds of thousands of goldfish.
"Don't worry, there's more than just the two of us here."
Shuangwei and Feihuo have good reputations and hold high positions among bounty hunters. They naturally have many hunter friends, all of whom are sworn brothers.
"Besides us, there's Mingmeng, Matthew,..."
All the names that Scarlet Fire mentioned were very famous bounty hunters.
It's not just Scarlet Flame and Twins who are being targeted by the red and blue teams; there are other bounty hunters as well.
These bounty hunters are not only targeting the Blue Team's Dlugu family, but also the forces of the Red Team.
After they've made a fortune in the Delugu family, they'll go after them one by one!
What do you think?
Barbara turned to look at Chen Qing and asked.
She would certainly be happy to see the Delugu family suffer a major blow, but whether or not she would agree depended on Chen Qing's opinion; she was the one who made the decision.
"Can."
After thinking it over for a moment, Chen Qing agreed.
Compared to the Faroe Islands, the Parthia Islands are a better fit for Windshadow Emerald to unleash its power.
She can take more things with her.
"What about the twins?"
Barbara asked with some concern, "Those twins are no kind people; their methods are extremely cruel."
"They've got people to deal with them, don't worry."
Scarlet Flame curled her lips into a smile and gave Barbara a look.
The Dlugu family has so many enemies; just picking a few would be enough to give them a run for their money.
"Shall we set off now?"
Having been held back from speaking by Hikaru, Futami finally saw that they had finished talking and could finally speak, asking impatiently.
"Um."
Chen Qing nodded in agreement.
The curse on her body had just been lifted, and the power she had lost had returned to her, making her full of fighting spirit.
Chen Qing felt like fighting.
The Parti Islands, owned by the Delugu family, are not far from the Faroe Islands, only a flight distance of three or four hours.
The group quietly boarded a merchant ship, where other bounty hunters were already waiting.
Chen Qing also saw several people with their faces covered. They did not want to reveal their identities, so she did not introduce them.
As for the others, everyone had basically seen them in the daily newspaper, and they just exchanged greetings and that was it.
This operation was initiated by Scarlet Fire, so she will be the one to introduce it.
The main attackers are her and Shuangwei.
"Our target this time is the Parti Islands."
"The island of Parti is inhabited by Rias Delugu. She is the most extravagant member of the entire Delugu family, so her vault contains the most money and treasures."
"wrong."
Chen Qing rejected Fei Huo's opinion. Fei Huo, whose conversation was interrupted by Chen Qing, was not angry. Instead, she looked at Chen Qing and gestured for her to express her thoughts.
Everyone's goal is money, and she's open to any good advice.
"The most valuable thing right now isn't goldfish, it's supplies."
"Combat machinery, weaponry, medical resources—these are what we should be seizing."
Chen Qing took out a distribution map from his spatial storage, glanced at Barbara, and Barbara nodded almost imperceptibly.
As the distribution map unfolded, all the information about the Parthia Islands came into view.
“We entered from the three islands. Laru is the easiest one to deal with in the Drugu family.”
“If we kill him, the Dlugu family might not even have time to react.”
Chen Qing looked up, his gaze sweeping over everyone.
With all of them combined, Laru would have absolutely no chance to retaliate or ask for help.
"The Delugu family has built a large number of underwater tunnels and underwater structures. After killing Laru, we can quickly enter the Seven Islands through these tunnels."
"Seven Islands are the richest islands in the Parthia Archipelago. We'll spend some time here. If we have enough time, we can visit Eleven Islands. If not, we can leave directly from Seven Islands."
"But how are we going to take all this stuff with us?"
Mingmeng hesitated. Chen Qing's plan was good, but he had overlooked one problem.
That is because spatial items are rare, and even they don't have many spatial items in their possession.
They could only pick out some of the best items to take with them, which is why they set their sights on the Parti Islands.
"I have."
Chen Qing said slowly.
The interior of the Wind Shadow Jadeite is extremely spacious, and Chen Qing brought it here to store more things.
Inside the Wind Shadow Jadeite are quite a few Sailor Rabbits and Titanium Crystal Flying Ants, all of whom are laborers responsible for moving things.
"You mean, the group of Wind Shadow Emeralds that are currently following us?"
"right."
Chen Qing nodded.
The group's eyes lit up instantly. If that was the case, then what they had stolen from the Parthia Islands was far more than they had originally planned.
“If that’s the case, then I suggest we go to the Thirteen Islands before going to the Seven Islands, where a large number of prisoners are held.”
A sly smile appeared on Mingmeng's face, and two dimples were faintly visible.
Those prisoners were prisoners as defined by the Dlugu family.
"Mingmeng, you're a little bad, but I like it."
Shuangwei winked at Mingmeng and burst into laughter.
"Then let's do it this way. First we'll go to the three islands, then the thirteen islands, then the seven islands, and finally the eleventh island."
Scarlet Flame sealed the deal.
"How are the profits calculated?"
Barba suddenly said.
The Fengying Jadeite was provided by Chen Qing, who clearly came prepared. She also had some, so they couldn't just share the spoils equally, could they?
"Same as always, whoever takes it keeps it. We'll lend Chen Qing's Wind Shadow Jade to store things, and whoever uses it will give Chen Qing a usage fee."
"Can."
"No objection."
Everyone agreed to the idea, and Chen Qing gave each of them a Wind Shadow Jade head to temporarily use for loading goods.
However, Emerald Windshadow will not enter the Parti Islands with them, but will appear when they are almost ready.
The Wind Shadow Jadeite is too large a target and easily discovered.
After discussing the plan, everyone went back to their rooms to rest and await the next battle.
Chen Qing returned to his room and opened the World Encyclopedia.
She hasn't claimed the rewards from the World Encyclopedia yet; now's the perfect time!
