"Between my sense of security and yours, which do you think is better?"
Holding the Electromagnetic Cannon, Duke aimed its muzzle at the Syren and playfully spoke to Miss Fortune Sarah, who was sweating profusely and forcing a dry laugh.
"This… this….."
Sarah's eyes darted around, her mind searching for a countermeasure. Duke, having displayed his power, aimed the cannon at the Syren, the meaning of which was already self-evident.
"Oh, little brother, don't be so scary!"
Sarah's face regained a smile, and she spoke, feigning composure: "Sister, wasn't I just joking with you?"
"We aren't unscrupulous merchants who force sales. Since you have proven you have enough strength to protect yourselves, then even if the deal doesn't go through, goodwill remains!"
"We will escort you for free!"
Sarah walked towards the gangplank, intending to temporarily withdraw with her people. She had hunted geese all her life, but today, she was pecked in the eye by a goose.
"That won't do. I can't possibly let you suffer a loss, can I, Sister!?"
Duke quietly turned the barrel of the Electromagnetic Cannon, aiming it at Miss Fortune, whose hair stood on end as she felt the threat of death.
If this thing fired, she and her ship would instantly turn to dust.
"Besides, we are a scientific research vessel from Piltover.
We are all artisans, unable to lift with our hands or carry on our shoulders, delicate and frail!"
"Sister, we still need to buy that sense of security!"
Duke, holding the Electromagnetic Cannon and speaking reason, was spouting nonsense with a straight face, not blushing in the slightest.
Miss Fortune maintained the smile on her face, but in her heart, she was furiously complaining: "Artisans?
Where are there artisans who carry so many heavy weapons?"
"Unable to lift with your hands or carry on your shoulders?
Your strength has already surpassed that of humans!"
"And delicate and frail? If you're delicate and frail, Gangplank is a model good person!"
"What do you say, Sister?" Duke's eyelids drooped as he stared at Miss Fortune, Sarah, with a fake smile.
The aggressive situation Miss Fortune had created earlier had now completely reversed!
"Then what do you want to do?" What else could Miss Fortune, Sarah, say?
She could only grit her teeth and force out a sentence, but when she saw the rails of the Electromagnetic Cannon in Duke's hand begin to charge, a smile reappeared on her face, though it was extremely forced and tinged with a hint of gritted teeth.
Trying to run?
Don't be ridiculous, you've delivered yourself right to my doorstep, how could I possibly let you go? Although she's a bit older, she should be very useful!
Don't forget, Duke came to Bilgewater not only for the field testing of the Hexgate but also to deal with that scoundrel, Gangplank.
He needed to find a way to take down Gangplank and then support a new Pirate King to protect his and the Ferros Family's interests.
Sarah was an excellent choice: she had a bottom line, she had cunning, and she had a deep hatred for Gangplank!
Utilizing her would likely be very convenient!
Duke hadn't forgotten what Camille had said about half of his research funds being on that seized ship!
A value of ten million, converted, was a million wealth points.
Enough to unlock all of the Iron Man template!
He wanted the money, and he wanted the person!
No one was leaving today.
"On the high seas, dangers lurk everywhere; no one can say whether accident or tomorrow will arrive first!"
Duke's finger, pressing the trigger, did not relax in the slightest, and energy flowed freely along the rails.
"I feel that traveling alone is too dangerous for me, so Sister, please stay and protect me closely, providing a sense of security!"
