What life or death struggle, it doesnât count at all.
Even if many people do die, as long as the final benefits are sufficient, this conflict can also be erased.
"So do you understand now?"
The Pirate Leader now didnât dare to say more, and replied honestly, "Understood, but since you have such abilities, why involve us in the task?"
"Some things must be done by people with the appropriate identity. You are the nearest and also the most suitable person, thatâs all."
"Alright, youâve asked enough, now tell me your thoughts. Do it, and follow me, donât, and die here."
The Pirate Leader didnât hesitate at all and replied, "Do it."
"Very good."
As Chen Mingâs words fell, the engines of the Mule Level Destroyer where the Pirate Leader resided suddenly returned to normal, beginning to power the entire ship.
Some equipment on the spaceship also began to restart.
In the Pirate Leaderâs stunned gaze, Chen Mingâs voice continued, "Iâve restored your ship, but the control of the spaceship is now in my hands."
"Iâll secretly send you to where you need to go, and beyond that, itâs none of my business."
"Tell your subordinates on the other ships to keep quiet. Iâll restore the other ships later, and then send them all off."
The Pirate Leader calmed his racing heart and said, "I understand, but can I ask you one last question?"
"Speak."
"Does the task that the big shot asked me to do have anything to do with Dusk?"
Chen Mingâs mouth twitched slightly. He didnât know how the Pirate Leader came up with such an idea, so he simply said a clichĂ©, "You can think of it that way."
The thoughts in the Pirate Leaderâs mind became more complicated at once. He thanked Chen Ming, hesitated a bit as he pressed a button on the terminal, but ended the communication anyway.
The Pirate Leader walked out of his room with the terminal, pulling over the wild Maintenance Master who only knew a bit of simple repairs on board and asked, "Whatâs going on?"
The Maintenance Master, sweating profusely, responded, "I donât know, the shipâs engine just suddenly came back on, but we completely lost control of the ship."
"What equipment on the ship is still functional?"
"Nothing, nothingâs working, weâre still trying to figure it out."
The Pirate Leaderâs hands trembled involuntarily and he said, "Donât bother with it. Call everyone to the captainâs room, I have something to say."
Although the Maintenance Master was very puzzled, he still complied.
A few minutes later, in the captainâs room, the Pirate Leader explained roughly what Chen Ming had said to his subordinates, and also informed the other ships through the communication channel.
After explaining, everyone on the Mule Level could feel the ship suddenly start to move, despite no one being on the bridge.
Under the preemptive warning from the Leader, no one dared to say anything about it.
The Pirate Leader suddenly sighed deeply, his eyes filled with complex emotions.
He knew he wouldnât die for the time being, but after helping that big shot with his task, it was uncertain.
He could only hope that the big shot would take a liking to him, and continue to assign him other tasks afterward.
At least he could live a bit longer.
If his performance could really be appreciated, maybe he could live better than being a pirate.
The Leader sat bewilderingly in the captainâs room chair, imagining possible futures.
Little did he know he was actually walking into a trap set by Chen Ming.
Chen Ming could guess some of what the Pirate Leader was thinking, but he didnât care at all.
Anyway, everything he said was nonsense, just to stall the Pirate Leader, stall until he could deliver the man completely and alive to his boss, and the rest wasnât his concern.
As long as the Pirate Leader could come back, whether he came back alive didnât matter.
If it werenât for Chen Ming worrying that other people on the pirate ship might drag the Pirate Leader down after knowing they were going to die anyway.
Or that the Pirate Leader might notice that only he was needed and find it suspicious, Chen Ming wouldâve preferred to leave only the Pirate Leader.
Otherwise, Chen Ming wouldâve acted directly, instead of saying so much.
Now he could only let the pirates on the departed Mule Level live a little longer temporarily.
But the other pirates on the other ships werenât so lucky.
Once the Mule Level is sent off, it means the communication between the Pirate Leader and the pirates on other ships is cut off.
The remaining people were no longer able to affect the Pirate Leader, but they would affect what Chen Ming had to do next, so they all had to die.
Chen Ming controlled the Iron Ore No., taking control of each of these remaining pirate ships one by one.
He could observe the condition of these pirate ships through the panelâs 3D imaging.
Although he couldnât see the people on the ships, he could see the objects on the ships, even visualize an entire Protective Suit walking within the ship on the 3D imaging.
Initially, Chen Ming wanted to equip the Iron Ore No. with Electromagnetic Spear, using the high penetration of the weapon to kill one by one through 3D imaging.
But after thinking it over, he found a more effective way.
Disassembly.
This was a new ability on the panel after Chen Ming controlled the Refraction Level and his Spiritual Power broke the limit.
It worked on any parts of the ship, and the ship itself as well.
Chen Ming set his eyes on a most ordinary Frigate.
