Poverty makes me capable of anything.

"What are you doing?" Franks reached out to snatch the item back, but An Ran reacted quickly. Even though he was level 49, he still couldn't keep up with An Ran's speed.

"If you move again, I'll throw it in your crotch!" An Ran said.

Franks stopped abruptly, his expression shifting between anger and uncertainty.

It’s over.

An Ran took a bottle of water out of her backpack, opened the cap and poured it out. The water splashed onto the button, and to most people's surprise, the button exploded.

Splash!

It exploded on the back of Anran's hand.

"Oh no..."

While a bullet can deflect safely from Anran's chest, it's a different story if it's a bomb.

Glick dashed into the mist and found An Ran standing there unharmed, not even her hair was messed up.

These button bombs are incredibly powerful, but their ability to explode upon contact with water is quite interesting.

After a brief period of panic, everyone on the field calmed down again.

Once they came to their senses, they immediately realized the problem.

"It's you!" Edgar glared at Franks.

Franks knew that there was no point in arguing at this point.

If he hadn't been intimidated by An Ran's words, he might have been able to offer some explanation.

"As expected, this is the work of you Crimson people."

The Shadow Pirates immediately grabbed their weapons. The negotiations were going well, but these bastards were causing trouble off the field and trying to frame others.

"How could that be?"

Many of the people on the Crimson side were still in shock. The fact that the bomb belonged to Frankenstein caught them completely off guard.

But since the Shadows had already rolled up their sleeves, they certainly couldn't back down.

"Quickly, quickly, the situation has escalated, notify the regimental commander immediately."

"Don't be impulsive, don't be impulsive. Fighting now would only give the Empire an opportunity."

Lenoras quickly stepped in to break up the fight. Damn it, these pirates are up to no good. They've started causing trouble before anyone else has even arrived. It seems that if we want to stand up to Vesa, we'll need the pirates from the park to step in.

The two sides were facing off when the gate to Zola's courtyard finally opened.

The two walked into the square surrounded by a group of people.

"Commander."

"Boss!"

Neither side laid down their weapons, but the tense atmosphere eased slightly.

Frank looked around, seemingly lost in thought.

"What's going on?" The first person to speak was not the one with the crimson lines on his clothes; it seemed to be Thohir, the leader of the Shadows.

"Commander, this is what happened..."

Immediately, someone explained the whole story.

Thohir stared expressionlessly at the crimson-faced commander, Marjorie.

"I need an explanation for this."

Marjorie nodded, then turned and said, "Franks, come here."

"Boss, I just..."

"Come here," Marjorie emphasized.

Franks could only walk over, but as he went, he said, "Boss, I'm just angry that the Shadows had so many requirements when they invited us to join the Federation, so I..."

boom!

Marjorie punched Franks in the chest.

Frank took a few steps back, managing not to cry out, and gritted his teeth as he said, "I'm just a..."

boom!

However, at that moment, Marjorie pulled out an oversized pistol and fired a high-explosive round directly into Franks' head.

It's over.

Enron, Lenoras, and Glick were all dumbfounded.

After a series of numerical values ​​appeared, no more small values ​​appeared, which can only mean that Franks' health bar has been depleted.

That's how it's explained?

"This……"

Everyone else was speechless too.

"Boss, why..."

Marjorie waved his hand: "Larry, you will be taking over Franks' position from now on."

"Yes, yes, thank you so much for your trust, boss." Larry, who had been pressing for answers, quickly retreated, overjoyed.

Frankl is dead, so be it. He wouldn't have gotten the job if he hadn't died.

I rub.

"Franks has already defected to Visa's side," Marjorie suddenly dropped a bombshell.

"what?"

"Today's meeting was actually deliberately set up for you to see. Crimson and Shadow reached an alliance agreement three days ago. As for the evidence, we'll show it to you when we get back."

After all that, for the time being, no one was dissatisfied with Frank's death.

As Marjorie and Thohir shifted their gaze, everyone else turned to Anran.

"..."

Although the people below are of varying quality, these two leaders are cunning wolves with sharp eyes.

"I heard you want to make a deal with us."

“That’s right.” An Ran nodded.

“Give me the list,” Thohir said.

Anran sent the purchase list over.

“I’m very curious about your identity,” Marjorie said. “You came to Planet Mawei with the Wangchuan Pirate Gang, right? But I don’t remember the Wangchuan Pirate Gang having anyone as powerful as you besides Qingling.”

"..."

As expected, they couldn't escape their surveillance.

However, An Ran was not flustered at all when her secret was exposed. From the beginning, she had no intention of deliberately hiding it, otherwise she would not have circled around Mawei Star before landing.

Glick and the others were surprised by An Ran's identity—a member of the Forgotten River Pirates?

So, she came here ostensibly to make purchases, but was she actually here to discuss the Pirate Alliance?

"Ding!"

Just then, an unexpected game notification sounded in the minds of Anran, Glick, and the others.

The faction war in the Nagria border region has unexpectedly begun at this time.

Even more surprisingly, this time the factions are not two, but 2+N.

Faction 1 is represented by Visa, Faction 2 is represented by the Pirate Alliance, and Faction N is represented by the Pirate Crew in Paradise.

"..."

This faction division reveals a lot.

The pirate crews in the park will not only not join the Pirate Alliance, but will also have conflicts of interest with the Pirate Alliance.

This is the player's foresight advantage.

Some people say that a certain NPC is like a bug, but the real bug is actually the player.

"Should we choose a faction now?"

"no."

An Ran suppressed her thoughts; it wasn't the right time yet.

"To be precise, I'm not a member of the Wangchuan Pirate Gang, but I'm currently cooperating with them," An Ran said.

“Cooperation? What do you mean?” Thohir asked.

“I come from the Blue Ocean Forest,” An Ran said in an ambiguous statement.

But this sentence was like a bombshell, and the imaginative viewers on the field immediately started to wildly speculate.

Could it be...

Chapter 02 The Avengers (For Real)

They come from the Blue Ocean Forest and have a temporary cooperative relationship with the Forgotten River Pirates. They then approached the pirates under the guise of buying materials.

It's no wonder that Thohir and Marjorie had so many ideas all of a sudden.

There has been so much news about Hailan Forest lately. The latest news about the capital city dates back 16 days, saying that the emperor's illness has improved, but he is temporarily unable to govern.

Anyone with eyes to see knows what really happened.

The emperor's illness was definitely incurable, but his physical condition might be able to be maintained for a while longer with medical support, but his mental illness was beyond saving.

We can't let an idiot sit on the throne, otherwise who knows how chaotic the country would become.
