Chapter 419 Last Words
Angel subconsciously made way, letting Danitz fall forward on his own. However, after realizing that he was indeed seriously injured, he reached out to support him and gently laid him flat on the ground.
"What's going on?"
She asked, and checked the other person's injuries. She found a total of three wounds, but the fatal one was a blunt penetrating wound on the right chest. Broken ribs and internal organs could be seen deep inside, and blood foam was spurting out with gas.
It's a serious injury. Even a Beyonder would die in ten minutes at most. But I can...
Just as she took out the magic pocket watch, she heard Danitz cough violently a few times. After coughing up a mouthful of blood and phlegm, his dark blue eyes, somewhat unfocused, looked at her and said very quickly:
"Help me, help me, tell the captain that Old Lynn has been exposed, the contact point has been occupied by 'Steel' McVitie, and they are here for the treasure..."
After arriving in Bayam, Angel had carefully studied pirates with bounties over 3,000 pounds, and immediately recalled the pirate he was referring to: the second mate of "Blood Admiral" Senior, whose value was the same as hers.
"...ask her to help me get revenge," Danitz continued panting, unaware of the excited glint in Angel's eyes that represented gold pounds. "Also, I've saved all my money to buy Bayam's property, on Fragrant Tree Avenue, numbers 12 to 16. The supporting documents are in the basement of number 13...I've asked her to help me sell it and bring the money to my parents in Nosier, Intis. I'll tell them I've made a fortune at sea..."
"...say that I became a brilliant adventurer...and, please help me say I'm sorry..."
After he finished his last words, Danitz's final resolve to not fall finally faded. He slowly loosened his grip on Angel's trouser leg, letting out a "huh" sound as blood foam gushed out of his throat. He looked towards the gradually darkening sky, his pupils losing their light, as if he had seen his elderly parents whom he had not seen for many years.
Dad…Mom…
He moved his lips soundlessly.
Just before his death, Danitz heard a voice that seemed to come from far away:
"Are you playing with your hands or your feet? Left or right?"
What?
Due to blood loss and lack of oxygen, his brain had become dull and he was unable to understand the meaning of this sentence at all. He subconsciously raised his left hand.
The next second, the blonde woman in his eyes was holding a brass pocket watch in one hand, and stroking his chest with the other hand, then pressing on his left arm.
"Hoo, hoo, cough cough—"
The rise and fall of his chest immediately became strong and powerful, and a big hole was broken in his lungs, which were unable to maintain breathing. He struggled to inhale the salty and fishy air from the seaside, helping him cough up the bloody phlegm in his throat, but his left hand, which was touched, felt as if it was broken and began to hurt violently.
What...what's going on?
Danitz took a few deep breaths, feeling his soul returning to his body. He then struggled to sit up and looked at his aching left arm. This arm, bent at an odd angle, was bleeding continuously under his sleeve. However, his chest, which had just been hit by Maiviti's punch, was now intact.
He slowly shifted his gaze to the woman squatting in front of him. He saw a smile on her lips. The brass pocket watch in her hand had just been closed, and its rough surface shone beautifully in the setting sun.
"You, just saved me? But why, not earlier?"
He asked in surprise.
"I want to see what other treasures you have hidden besides the property. Besides, it's polite to hear someone's last words."
Seeing that Danitz had recovered from his serious injury, Angel stood up, looked in the direction he came from, and answered casually, but there was an unconcealable smile on the corner of his mouth.
Over there was the dock. Thick smoke was already rising from the Golden Dream's contact point. It was unclear whether it was caused by the destruction during the battle between Danitz and "Steel" Maiviti, or whether the other party was angry and angry about letting the target go and burned the house to vent their anger.
But the alley was empty, and no one from the Blood General came after them.
Angel lowered his head again and saw that Danitz's face had flushed red, even the paleness from the blood loss was covered by anger. But in the next second, he successfully adjusted his mood, slowly got up from the ground, patted the dust off his body with his healthy hand, forced a smile and said:
"Thank you for your courtesy."
The feeling of being back on the White Agate made the "pain" potion in Angel's body digest a little. She nodded slightly and asked:
"Do you have a place to stay? Or are you planning to find another place to hide?"
Danitz also covered his injured left arm and looked in the direction of the smoke and fire. After a moment, he replied:
"I have a temporary residence, but it's likely already been discovered. 'Steel' McVitie and his men will definitely be searching for me throughout Bayam to prevent me from informing the captain of their actions. I need to leave as soon as possible, otherwise..."
He suddenly froze.
Wait, why should I continue to run away?
"Iron" Maiviti was only Senior's second mate, a Sequence 6 at best. Of course, that was still much stronger than me... But the woman in front of me was a powerful Beyonder who could easily take out the Bishop of the Church of Storms and hang me out of the porthole with one hand. Her... her... was a crazy adventurer just as dangerous as she was. They definitely wouldn't be afraid of Maiviti...
The most important thing is that McVitie has a bounty of 6,000 pounds, and he has several other vicious men under his command whose bounties exceed 1,000 pounds!
Taking a deep breath, Danitz recalled the social etiquette the captain had taught him, as well as the little tricks on "how to impress others." He opened and closed his mouth, finally spat, and said with a vicious look:
"Are you interested in collecting the 6,000-pound bounty on 'Steel' McVitie?"
Seeing Angel's eyes light up, he knew that he had made the right bet.
"Come to our place first and tell us about his situation in detail, but..." Angel suppressed his desire for gold pounds and looked at his normal pocket watch. "In about seven minutes, you may have to help me find a small path without gas lamps."

Whoosh whoosh…
Unexpectedly...
This woman is actually afraid of fire now?
Standing in a corner of the dim living room, Danitz could barely suppress the smile on his face as he watched Angel curled up on the sofa, avoiding the light streaming in from the window. Even the pain from his broken left arm seemed less noticeable.
He wanted to use his extraordinary ability to draw out a bright flame right now to see what extraordinary behavior the other party would do out of extreme fear.
Then, see if you are polite?
But the last bit of rationality in his mind stopped him.
She endured the negative effects of the magical item in order to save me... Ask yourself, if a pirate I'm not familiar with is about to die in front of me, and I need to endure the negative effects for a long time to save him, I probably won't be able to make up my mind... Danitz pondered and suppressed the hand that was about to raise and release the flames.
Of course, this gratitude is only part of the reason, well, about 10%.
The remaining 90% of the reason was provided by Herman Sparrow, who was standing behind Angel's sofa, having taken off his top hat and tweed coat, and staring at him with a bad face.
If even a spark flashes from my fingertips, he'll swallow me whole in the next second... Danitz inexplicably had this premonition and quickly put away his teasing thoughts. He said seriously,
"We, I mean the 'Golden Dream', once found a huge black iron key in a shipwreck. It was almost as big as the steering wheel and could only be held with both hands. It had been submerged in the sea for who knows how many years, but it had not rusted at all.
"Before the captain had time to figure out what it was, word leaked out, and countless pirates believed it was the legendary 'Key of Death', which could unlock the treasure left by Death, granting immortality and immense wealth.
"We tried to clarify, but no one believed us. Now, even 'Admiral of Blood' and his lackeys have joined this group of lunatics. His second mate, 'Iron' McVitie, attacked the contact point today and detained several sailors who were going to cancel their leave. He's lying in wait for me to come..."
"And then you were almost killed."
Klein spoke softly, his tone calm, but it sounded extremely sarcastic to Danitz.
"Yes," he nodded and answered honestly, "I used a magical item to evade pursuit and was rescued by Miss Angelica. This gave me an idea..."
"I can provide information about McVitie and the men he brought ashore. Their combined bounty is at least eight or nine thousand pounds. My only request is that you eliminate all of them, leaving no one behind."
He endured it silently and didn't even care about the other party's ridicule. His purpose was to retaliate and get rid of "Iron" McVitie who killed Old Lynn and other sailors!
At this moment, Danitz hoped that the man and woman in front of him were really as powerful and crazy as they appeared.
After all, knowing that the opponent is the "Blood Admiral" who is famous for his cruelty, even the captain who is also a pirate general will act cautiously and even consider giving up revenge temporarily.
"Tell us about the 'Blood Admiral' and his men. Who are they, what abilities they have, and what evil they have done. Then we can make a decision."
Angel looked at Danitz, whose expression kept changing, and said in Klein's tone, feeling a little amused.
From each other's narration, the two soon learned about the "heroic deeds" of "Blood Admiral" Senior, one of the seven pirate generals.
This general did not follow the rules set by Nast, the "King of the Five Seas". After every robbing of a passenger ship, he would allow his men to slaughter the captives wantonly. He also liked to ravage beautiful girls and sell them to corners of the archipelago where the navy and the Storm Church had no control.
Supporting his evil deeds is a pirate fleet consisting of eight ships, with the flagship being the "Tree of Flesh and Blood". The Beyonder, suspected to be a Sequence 5, can cause those who face him to die strangely, such as strangling themselves, detonating bombs, jumping into boilers, and can also make Senior turn into a phantom, pass through the cabin, and directly attack the enemy from the rear.
He has ten pirates with bounties under his command: the flagship's first, second, and third mates, as well as the captains of each ship. Their "worth" is ranked accordingly. This time, it is his second mate, "Iron" Maveti, who came to Bayam to search for clues to the "Key of Death".
The latter's body is as hard as steel, and his fist can directly penetrate the body of the Extraordinary. He is invulnerable to swords and guns, not afraid of fire and drowning, and can also awaken corpses and make them into puppets.
This time when he went ashore, Maiviti also brought several of his men, all of whom were Sequence 8 or Sequence 7 Beyonders. Together with the zombie puppets he controlled, the team was large in number and not weak in strength. Even the local "Manufactured Punishers" team would find it very difficult to deal with these pirates without the Sealed Artifact.
After sharing everything he knew, Danitz looked eagerly at the two people in front of him, expecting them to give a response.
"bite--"
After openly performing a coin divination in front of him, Klein nodded to Angel, who understood and said with a smile:
"The Blood Admiral is a bit far away from Bayam. I don't think I can do anything about it for now..."
Seeing Danitz's disappointment evident in his expression, she slowly added:
"So, let's take Iron Maiviti's head and the reward first."
