Poverty makes me capable of anything.

"What else?"

"Or you'll all die together!"

Boom! Boom! Boom! Suddenly, more than a dozen gun barrels and cannon barrels appeared, surrounding Anran and Ella from all directions.

"!!!"

"Who are you trying to scare?"

He gave a soft hum.

An Ran curled her lip in disapproval: "Behave yourself, I've already kidnapped this so-called third brother. Don't even think about taking him away without paying the ransom!"

"You want a ransom?" the bearded man said.

"I see your equipment is quite valuable, so you must be worth a lot. I'll reluctantly accept 20 million from you. If you don't pay, don't blame me for killing you!"

The bearded man said, "Do you think you can leave after tearing up the ticket?"

"What do you think?"

"I don't think so, come out!"

Then two more people appeared behind them, and one more person appeared behind An Ran.

Including the muscular guy, there are seven in total.

"No one who dares to mess with our Hunter Star Pirate Crew has ever survived!" The bearded man's face was filled with ruthlessness.

pirate?

An Ran was startled when she heard the word. It was a very familiar profession, and she never expected to run into it again here.

When she was still the leader of the Anran Pirate Crew, she could wipe out such an unknown and shabby crew with a wave of her hand. Pirates of that level were trash, not even as good as her underlings.

But things have changed, and now even this kind of guy is jumping in front of her to act arrogantly.

I'm so angry! My master-level character was turned into a weakling by the storyline!

"Then I'll give it a try!"

The third brother, a muscular man, is level 46; the leader, a bearded man, is level 47; and the others are level 45 for three and level 46 for one.

They are indeed very strong, but...

"Boom boom boom—"

Crossfire!

The chairs suspended beneath the six people suddenly began firing bullets.

Holy crap, are they really going to kill their teammates too?

The muscular man was shot twice, and An Ran's clothes were pierced with several holes, but fortunately, the combat suit had an armor level of 1050, so it could withstand a few more hits.

Upon witnessing the other party's ruthlessness, An Ran immediately pulled the muscular man into the air, with Ella following closely behind.

"Stunned now, you idiots!" An Ran gave the six people the middle finger, then without looking back, she soared upwards, giving them no chance to react.

"Ding! Special quest triggered: [So angry I want to punch someone], accept?"

I'm so angry I want to hit someone.

Mission Brief: You, once a pirate overlord, are being threatened by mere pirates! You're so angry you want to punch them! Go and take them down!

mission rewards:

1. 30 Free Experience Points/person

2. Destroy the Hunter Star Pirate Crew, reward: Oath Certificate, 200 million Free Experience Points, and a set of Elimerian Empire Infantry Firearms Blueprints.

Task repeatability: unique

Holy crap, the game has already prepared my thoughts for me?

Although it doesn't have a mocking mode like the previous evaluation system, it still feels a bit strange.

Alright, I'll still accept this mission. There are no bad consequences, and even if I fail to complete it, it won't matter. At worst, I'll still get 30 experience points by taking down the muscular guy in front of me.

Once completed, the experience reward is generous, the weapon blueprints are very useful, and the Oath Certificate, which is equivalent to a summoning book, is also good, as it can temporarily summon a group of pirates, which can be very useful in critical moments.

"Big brother!"

The other five people all looked at the bearded man.

"Chase her! Don't let her get away!" the bearded man shouted.

After saying that, he piloted the "floating chair" and took the lead in chasing after them, with the others immediately following.

They followed An Ran's silhouette and flew upwards, but as they flew, they realized that An Ran was getting farther and farther away from them, and soon she became a small dot, until finally she disappeared completely into the night. If it were daytime, they might have been able to chase her a little further.

"..."

Oh shit!

The bearded man was furious.

I thought everything was going smoothly, but who knew they could fly.

They can fly too, but the problem is they can't fly as fast or as high as others.

Eat lemons.

Enraged, he fired several shells, instantly creating a chaotic area with a radius of over 60 meters in the forest below.

The shells were small in size, but very powerful.

……

"Cough-cough-"

The muscular man coughed incessantly, but the sound was so faint that it was almost drowned out by the wind.

"If you keep pretending to be dead, I'll throw you off this cliff."

Hovering in mid-air, An Ran spoke coldly to the muscular man.

In the personal status section, the muscular man's status is [Bleeding] and [Weak], but there is no [Seriously Injured] effect, which means that although Ella ripped open his stomach, his injury is not actually serious.

"!!!"

The muscular man immediately stopped coughing.

Anran and Ella supported him from both sides.

"If you let go, you will fall."

“According to my calculations, even with your muscle strength, you would definitely break apart if you fell from this height of 1 meters,” Ella said seriously, looking at the muscular man.

"..."

You don't need to calculate that!

The 400-pound Ella flew into the sky, creating a very different atmosphere.

Having reached level 31, she now weighs 223KG.

However, even if it's lighter, if the equipment hasn't been upgraded and it's still the same jetpack, it still won't be able to carry Ella.

“Alright, let’s begin the aerial interrogation now,” An Ran said.

The wind was a bit strong, so she had to shout to speak.

This made the muscular man very uncomfortable. He was really weak right now, and he was also worried about his wounds being exposed to the wind.

It seems that Anran and Ella have no idea about changing locations.

"Let me first introduce that Hunter Star Pirate Crew," An Ran said.

"..."

"They're all going to kill you, and you're not still clinging to some brotherhood, are you? You don't seem that old-fashioned, bro!"

“Anran is very fierce. You’ll suffer even more if you don’t speak up,” Ella shouted.

Hey, I know you're trying to help me, but what do you mean by that?

Actually, I'm not fierce at all!

I'm just a bit too straightforward.

"..."

"???"

"Watch out or I'll chop you up!"

"..."

I can't get it out!

It was all blocked by the wind!

The muscular man roared inwardly.

You two are healthy and energetic, but I'm really injured and weak!

“Anran, Anran, he seems unable to speak?” Ella looked up at Anran.

"..."

Yes, that seems to be true.

"Let's go somewhere else then."

So Anran took Ella and flew away to a lower, more central location, where the interrogation of the muscular man began again.

It wasn't really an interrogation; An Ran barely asked any questions before the muscular man revealed everything he knew.

"The Hunter Star is a pirate crew active in the western part of the Blue Forest. Including myself, there are seven leaders in total. The entire pirate crew has 482 people, one medium-sized destroyer, and six modified civilian ships. Their headquarters are in the Hakata asteroid belt."

"Tell me about the pirate group's armed forces, and also which organizations and individuals the pirate group is colluding with."

"..."

"Don't try to fool me. I understand pirate crews just as well as you do. I don't believe that a pirate crew of this size can survive for so long without someone supporting them."

"It's Danshuihe Mining Company."
