Chapter 539 Freedom or Profit?
After his first meeting with Captain Free Sword, he had come a long way from being a tier-1 epic to tier-9 unique, and he was finally at this point where he looked down on the other guy for being utterly helpless.
"What is your plan?" Sofie asked with a hint of apprehension. She had no idea what kind of scheme Jacob was hatching, but she knew if even Jacob was so careful, then the other party was to be trifled with.
She also knew her role was very important in this, and if she messed up, she might be the first one to die. However, she didn\'t complain. She wanted to show her resolve to follow Jacob through thick and thin so he could accept her.
Jacob plainly said, "If the person I\'m aiming for is really in that ship, then I\'m going to put him to sleep. But if it is not, then I\'m afraid it\'ll be a bloodbath. In fact, I\'m not afraid of him, but there is a person who can affect my movement, so capturing him would make it even easier to deal with that person.
"I\'m even hoping he would be foolish enough to take that person with him here, which would free me from those restraints. Then there\'s no need to play tricks, and it seemed luck is on my side." He said ambiguously.
Sofie was astounded and asked, "What kind of restrain?"
Jacob merely glanced at her and replied, "It doesn\'t matter anymore."
Sofie didn\'t pry further if Jacob was unwilling to reveal it.
At this moment, Jacob\'s eyes narrowed as he spotted a figure covered in a cloak like them standing on the dock of the ship, and he seemed to have spotted them as well.
\'Who do you bring, and did you dare to come yourself?\' Jacob wondered as he was hoping it would be Masha since Harold was already gone, and he had a feeling that Masha should be next in command, and her ability of charm would make her an ideal candidate for this trip.
As for Captain Free Sword, as long as he appeared, he was as good as Jacob\'s dinner tonight, and Masha would be imprisoned until Autarch was done with her.
Lastly, Jacob would get rid of the entire crew of Captain Free Sword and take over his massive ship and all the treasures they had ever plundered. This was for revenge as well as for the unimaginable profit he would get from it.
Furthermore, Jacob wanted Captain Free Sword\'s ship because that ship has sailed the star ocean of unique plains, and it might be the safest ship in the entire epic plains for the voyage towards the Unique Plains.
Jacob stopped the ship at some distance from the other ship before the other person on the other deck beckoned them to come. His heart raced as he sensed something now that he was this close.
They both jumped on the ship and landed on the wide deck.
The cloaked person seemed to be looking at the unusually granitic figure of Jacob with astonishment and great interest.
Jacob\'s heart thumped when he appeared so close to this figure, and his lips curled up, \'She\'s really here!\' He instantly knew it was Masha because he could sense Autarch\'s presence in her head as clear as day.
Now, all that was left was to confirm if his other target was here or not.
"You, my friend, are really a giant!" A familiar, jolly voice of Captain Free Sword rang as he walked out from the cabin and looked at Jacob with fascination. Even he wasn\'t as tall as him.
From that familiar snarky voice, Jacob glared at Captain Free Sword icily, but he didn\'t react and summoned his trump card, Cursed Immortality, to make a final confirmation!
"Tell me, is this ogre tier-8 unique or not? And this other person, is it a Charm Siren Race?" He directly questioned since he clearly remembered Captain Free Sword and Masha\'s traits.
Although he was clear about Masha, it couldn\'t be said the same for Captain Free Sword because that guy might play some trick.
Immortika laughed as usual before playfully wrote, "Oh how long you\'ve waited for this, huh? Revenge is a dish best served cold; what a good way to put it.
"But I\'m afraid you have to wait more to get it even colder. This ogre is not tier-8. In fact, it isn\'t an ogre at all. Heck, there isn\'t even a second person present in this place. All you see is a puppet made with runes and wearing a very well-
crafted skin, and to make it even more real, the Charm Siren is using her bloodline ability to cast a charm on the puppet, which makes it look as good as the real thing.
"As for the actions, this puppet is voice and controlled by a real person far away from here. Hahaahahaha, I had to admit this guy is really something. He\'s even wary of someone whom he considers an ant. Now, what will you do? If you take down this woman, you\'ll be free, but this might scare away the guy, and your plans will fall apart. I love this kind of choice…"
Jacob\'s expression changed as killing intent flashed past his eyes. He never expected Captain Free Sword to be such a turtle. But he was also impressed by his cowardliness. He knew his ten men had been captured, which meant even he wasn\'t a match for his enemy, so he decided to remain hidden and send Masha to make this puppet appear even more realistic.
Now, if he dealt with Masha and this puppet quickly, Captain Free Sword might really be scared away, and it would be very hard for him to find him in the star ocean.
However, when it comes to his freedom, he is very decisive, and profit means nothing. Besides, it\'s not like he wasn\'t prepared for the worst already. He still has another method to draw Captain Free Sword\'s ship.
So, without hesitation, he looked at Masha with killing intent, sending chills down her spine, and both Captain Free Sword and she sensed the strange atmosphere with Sofie and Jacob\'s lack of reaction.
Alas, before they could do anything, Masha was already falling on the deck while Jacob appeared in front of the puppet and threw a full power punch, blasting it into smithereens!
