Chapter 980: Chapter 361: Strange Acquaintances (6k)_3
Magga continuously consoled, although she wasnāt very familiar with machinery, she could understand the markings on the map.
The places she had just destroyed were all areas she had carefully selected on the map, mostly ordinary compartments.
"Hmph! Say what you will, but who knows what corner might contain technologies we havenāt grasped yet...
In case there are areas we havenāt mastered, by the time we have to repair them...
Forget it, are you Jin Bai?"
Bai Yi also knew that trying to communicate with Magga, this specialized magic genius, wouldnāt get her anywhere, so she stopped there and turned her gaze to Jin Bai on the main seat.
The gains this time were not just the capture of this warship; these visibly tangible gains were just the smallest part of the harvest.
The real prize lay in the two Pharmacists and Jin Baiās assets!
Of course, Bai Yi was also interested in the beginning and end of this event, and who exactly leaked her information.
"Itās me, Lord Jin Bai, I know Iāve lost. As long as you donāt kill me, I will cooperate as much as possible.
Do you want my territory? Or I can also choose to voluntarily give up the title of lord, becoming a Hero Unit under your command."
Jin Bai appeared very calm, accepting this result and preparing to fight for a better outcome for himself.
Itās just about yielding when necessary, this isnāt called abject submission, itās knowing when to bend and when to stretch.
Even though a few minutes ago he could still unhesitatingly fire at Fan Mao, attempt to eradicate these high-tier ones associated with Fan Mao, using every vicious method possible.
But this didnāt stop him from immediately offering his utmost sincerity in surrendering after his defeat.
He had seen such situations long before he became a lord, moments before battling fiercely with other companies for his own benefit, if things fell apart, surrendering was also for his own benefit.
After running through the business world for so long, he had long understood one truth, that all benefits in the end were ultimately for oneself.
Even though heās willing to pursue those benefits and gamble bravely, even putting Life on the table for it, as long as thereās a chance, he would also trade all his chips to reclaim his Life.
"Of course, I wonāt kill you; you have greater value.
Tell me, I need to know everything from beginning to end, why did you attack me, was it really the two Pharmacists who contacted you and then funded you?
And what exactly was your source of intelligence? How did you get hold of information about my capabilities?
I can tell if youāre lying, and even if you could lie, your memories cannot."
"As you wish, just as Lord Fanmao guessed, it all started when Madison approached me through an intermediary that day..."
Jin Bai faithfully recounted everything he knew without the slightest concealment; he was already in someone elseās hands, and lying was pointless.
Perhaps lying could indeed cause Fan Mao some trouble, letting him derive some pleasure, but ultimately the cost would still fall on him. In that case, rather than making things difficult for himself, itās better to express enough sincerity.
Of course, this was all based on him confirming that there was indeed an opportunity under Fan Mao.
After all, under Fan Maoās command, there was an example evident for all to see. Since that expeditionary army could independently make a name as a lord, why couldnāt he?
He even planned to create a name for himself under Fan Mao!
Anyway, it wasnāt the first time he had been subordinate to someone else; he was already familiar with this business.
Haha, speaking of which, seeing Fan Mao up close now, indeed feels somewhat familiar, as if he resembles an old acquaintance...
But who on earth is it?
Just now, he didnāt have the idea to think about this, but now wanting to form a closer rapport with a future superior, itās best to figure out who it is...
Jin Bai donned his signature smile, but in his heart, he began to search through his memory.
"An intermediary from inside a Paradise? I canāt say the name, but seeing the Contractors you hired this time were all from the Holy Paradise, it must be Fan Li...
I was wondering why he specifically approached me last time; turned out he managed to sneak away with a part of the intelligence.
But how did he do it, exactly?
He really did manage to steal something, no wonder I felt like I gained a āconnectionā that day, though what was stolen wasnāt complete, still some things were indeed taken...
Holy Paradise...
Is it some kind of Divine Arts effect from a God?"
Jin Bai chose not to interrupt, even though Fan Mao had already guessed, the constraints of the Contract still prevented him from admitting it.
"Forget it, perhaps Iāll find another opportunity to ask Gaye and the others."
Bai Yi threw this thought to his Star Sky Avatar, then turned his attention back to the present.
Compared to Fan Liās side, clearly, the current gains were more important.
Including Jin Bai, there were no less than seven high-level strong persons present!
The 8th Rank Madison couldnāt be converted, but these Seventh Rank individuals faced no such restrictions, even though she already had nearly three hundred high-level strong persons, a few more would never be unwelcome.
Moreover, the high-level strong ones present all had identities of their own.
A Starry Sky Pharmacist, a Seventh Rank lord, and five Contractors from the Holy Paradise, each could bring enough value.
Even the poorest lord, reaching the Seventh Rank regardless of the means, represented enough utility value.
