Chapter 195 You'd better not cause any more trouble!
"Wait a minute! Admiral Simon! You probably don't want the rest of the Empire to know that your Second Legion is colluding with our Roronoa Pirates, do you?"
As he said this, his eyes were fixed on Simon.
That's all he has left to control the other party.
He knew that once they broke off relations, the Second Legion wouldn't treat them well either, but it was enough that they were safe for a short time.
Once he finds out who the bastard who tricked him is, he'll make that guy spit out everything he took from him!
As for other space pirate groups, they are not a threat at all.
Once he gets the resources from those space pirate groups, will he still have trouble defeating them?
He can beat these scoundrels even when he's penniless. Once he has all the supplies ready, what will he have to be afraid of?
Simon's eyes instantly turned sinister. "Are you threatening me?"
He stared coldly at Roronoa. "You think I'd be threatened by you? Do you really think our Second Legion is just a pile of mud?! You think you can just manipulate us however you want?!"
Simon's tone was unpleasant, and Roronoa's tone was naturally no better.
He scoffed, "Your Second Legion is certainly not made of mud, but we, the Roronoa Pirates, are not to be fooled either! Since we're having a hard time, your Second Legion shouldn't expect to have one either!"
Roronoa, upon saying this, suddenly felt more confident.
They were originally wandering insects outside the Empire, but the insects of their Second Legion were different.
They come from aristocratic families and still care about their reputation.
Those space pirates are absolutely fearless, having nothing to lose!
Simon was furious with him, but seeing Roronoa's smug look, he suddenly stopped being angry.
Having a foolish opponent might be a good thing.
He sneered, "Fine, I can agree to your previous cooperation requests, but you'd better not cause any more trouble!"
Upon hearing this, Roronoa finally felt a sense of relief.
He looked at Simon with a forced smile. "Sure, sure...we'll have a pleasant collaboration!"
...
Less than a day after the heated negotiations between the two sides ended, the news reached Eli's ears.
It wasn't that the informants he had planted with Simon were particularly capable, but rather that the mechanical bugs he had placed in Roronoa to keep an eye on the pirate crew quickly overheard the message and then sent it to the mechanical bugs at Tan Chi's house.
The mechanical insect immediately informed Tan Chi, and Eli naturally found out.
"I never imagined that you, who were only kidnapped once, would actually manage to plant a spy within the Roronoa Pirate Corps?"
Eli looked at Tan Chi with eyes that could only be described as "fiery".
Tan Chi's lips twitched. "Brother, I'm talking to you about something serious."
Do you have to keep praising him like that? He'll get embarrassed, okay?
Eli frowned immediately. "How is this not important? You were kidnapped so suddenly, and you managed to do so much in such a short time. You're amazing!"
Tan Chi: "..."
Okay, if his older brother says so, then so be it.
He worried that if he became even more modest, his brother would probably feel sorry for him again.
Tan Chi coughed lightly before saying, "Brother, let's talk about the Second Legion's collusion with the Roronoa Pirates. I bet they're up to something!"
Eli raised an eyebrow. "If I'm not mistaken, the reason Simon was able to take in the Roronoa Pirates this time might be related to what you did before."
"Um?"
Tan Chi raised his eyebrows in confusion.
He did so many things, both openly and secretly.
He couldn't ask directly right now, so he could only pretend to be deep in thought as he looked at Eli.
Then I heard him slowly say, "Do you remember the auction you told me about before?"
Eli assumed that Tan Chi had been busy taking care of Letekar recently, which was why he had forgotten about these more important matters.
He blurted it out naturally, and then explained, "I had some bugs watching Laneta's side before, and then I found out that in addition to the bugs on our side, there was another group of bugs watching Laneta's side. I did a little investigation and found out that the bugs watching them were Simon's side of the bugs."
Tan Chi frowned. "What are they doing, staring at Ranetta's side?"
Eli shrugged. "Who knows what that old man Simon is thinking? Probably trying to cause trouble for Letecar, or looking for some loophole in the Lanetta family? Who knows?"
Although he didn't know what they wanted to do, they were very clear about what they were going to do now.
Tan Chi pursed his lips slightly, his disgust for the Lanetta family growing even stronger.
This family is utterly useless except for giving birth to his wife.
If he weren't waiting for his wife to personally deal with the Lanetta family to vent her anger, he would have wiped them out long ago.
Seeing that Tan Chi didn't speak, Eli continued, "Don't worry, with our insects watching, he won't be able to make any big noise."
Tan Chi nodded. "Brother, you just said that Simon came for the auction. Could it be that they want to snatch this bait that was specifically set up for the Lanetta family?"
His dark eyes narrowed slightly, showing a hint of displeasure.
This was a trap his wife set specifically for the Lanetta family. Why did that old man Simon get involved?
Seeing his expression, Eli understood everything.
He chuckled and patted Tan Chi on the back to comfort him, "Don't worry, we definitely won't let them ruin the plan this time."
Tan Chi naturally had confidence in Eli, after all, as long as his brother-complex didn't kick in, his intelligence was always on top.
He had heard about his older brother from Letekar before, and he was sure that his abilities were beyond question.
"So, brother, what are you planning to do?" Tan Chi rested his chin on his hands and looked at Eli, intending to completely give up and wait for his brother's plan.
If his older brother doesn't have a perfect solution, he'll just go and empty the Thomas family's coffers.
Anyway, he can tear through space at any time, so it would be easy for him to launch a sneak attack on the Thomas family.
He just didn't want the cleanup to be too much trouble, which is why he's been putting it off.
Eli glanced at Tan Chi indifferently, then suddenly laughed, "The previous asteroid auction price could only rip off the Lanetta family, but if... Simon insists on joining in, then let's include him and raise the price."
Tan Chi's eyebrows suddenly rose, and he looked at Eli with some uncertainty, "Won't doing this give us away?"
He knew that most asteroids were valued at auctions.
The valuations are all based on the results of asteroid surface exploration.
After all, even the most sophisticated instruments can't detect what's inside, so auctioning an asteroid is similar to gambling on ancient blue planet stones.
