Chapter Fourteen: Father Mark

Pirate Jeff was so frightened by the masked man's shocking sword that he no longer dared to hide anything.

If the "forbidden item" that was entrusted to be stolen is lost, there must be an excuse to find an excuse.

Thinking about it, he carefully described the entire process of Raymond's drug test.

"Um...Sir, maybe that kid took that notebook away..."

It now appears that the explosion in Deputy Commander Youke's laboratory was not an accident at all, but a deliberate murder.

Only an extraordinary prophet of the mystical system can accurately find the route in this complex ventilation duct, complete the beheading operation, and then take away the notebook.

Only if the employer in front of him believes this statement can the Vulture Pirates have a chance of survival.

"You mean, you rashly prepared the magic potion formula in the forbidden object, and after testing the potion, one person actually survived?"

After listening to the pirate leader Jeff's trembling narration, the man with the iron mask's eyes shone with a complicated light, which made him feel a little incredible.

These little pirates are really fearless, they have no idea what they are doing.

How dare they pay attention to banned objects?

This "S-class" banned object is a top-level dangerous object that even the world government has a headache...

How dare these little pirates dare to test taboos at will?

The iron-masked man touched his chin with a strange smile in his eyes.

Gee, but now it seems that things are getting more and more interesting.

He originally planned to get the notebook and then rescue and kill these little pirates.

Now it seems that we have to let them live a little longer.

Judging from the traces at the scene, the three people detained here escaped in two directions.

One team escaped through the ventilation duct to another prison area, and the other team was rescued by a shadow guard and escaped through the main entrance.

The masked man pondered for a moment and said: "Since the shadow guard who rescued people is one of Philip's men, you should send someone to chase him. It's best if you can catch him. If you can't catch him, you can lurk in Philip's territory. You must find out

Whose hands did the 'forbidden object' end up in?"

"Understood, sir."

Jeff felt relieved, after all, it still had value, and his life was saved.

The masked man pondered for a moment and continued to ask: "Who is being held in the other prison area? Why did the 'prophet' boy you mentioned go there to look for him?"

"I don't know...it seems like the slaves the squad leaders grabbed from anywhere."

"Haha, slave? Someone who can crack an explosive collar without causing any damage must have extremely high attainments in engineering. You actually treat him as an ordinary slave?"

The masked man held the intact explosive collar and shook his head.

As expected, we can't expect too much from these junk pirate reports.

However, there were so many strange things happening in this pirate group that the man in the iron mask instinctively felt a little cautious. He always felt that some key clues were missing and everything seemed so unexpected.

A supernatural meat ticket who is suspected of awakening the "prophet", a mysterious slave who specializes in advanced engineering...

And Ghost Ship Island, how come they are all so coincidental together?

Moreover, the theft of the "forbidden object" this time has been exposed. If that thing falls into Philip's hands again, it may not be so easy to get it out again.

It seems that we have to think of other solutions.

When the masked man was deep in thought, you could hear a needle drop throughout the cabin.

The group of pirates kept silent, and no one even dared to take a deep breath.

Pirate Jeff didn't know this powerful man who suddenly came to the Black Sea and could kill giant sea kings with one sword.

But if Raymond were here, he would definitely recognize him at first sight.

The true identity of this masked man.

A legendary bounty hunter with a bounty of 1.345 billion quarks.

The World Government has specially named the great swordsman and "Moon Slayer" Andre J. Hawke as the "Shichibukai".

...

Philip's territory was very large, divided into twenty-four blocks.

Each area is an independent steel city with all the necessary internal organs.

The cities are connected by floating rails on the sea, and intercity steam trains shuttle between various urban areas to transport materials and circulate people.

This is a steampunk world, and the air in the neighborhood is always filled with a faint smell of coal smoke.

The shape of the castle made of steel has a very obvious European medieval Gothic style. The houses framed by iron plates and rivets are row upon row, cold and crowded, prosperous and chaotic.

Sailors and adventurers can be seen everywhere on the street with muskets and polished daggers in leather holsters on their waists.

The shops on both sides of the road are very dense, and the shouts of merchants selling their energy come and go.

This is a prosperous maritime territory, a city of steel.

.......

Raymond lives in the 23rd arrondissement, which is a real "slum".

This is a gathering place for the lowest workers, sailors, thieves, gangsters, vagrants, and war refugees, a mixed mix.

Every block requires countless huge steam boilers to supply energy.

Mark's father has been a boilermaker for his whole life and is responsible for adding coal to energy boilers.

He used to be an ordinary widower, impatient, stingy and petty.

But after he picked up a baby named Raymond at the door more than ten years ago, he gradually became cheerful.

Later, I don’t know if it was because I was lonely, but the year before last I found a woman as a companion.

It was "Bella," a mean widow with three children.

A family of six lives in a steel hut of more than 30 square meters on Rum Street in the 23rd District.

...

It has been three days since Raymond was kidnapped. Old Mark has been anxiously waiting for the news for three days.

At this moment, Bella, a housewife, roared and announced her dissatisfaction.

"Mark, it's been a few days and you're still staying at home and not going to work? Do you want the whole family to starve to death?!"

Old Mark looked worried and listless, and responded: "My little Raymond was captured by pirates. I want to wait for news about him..."

"Don't think that I don't know what you want to do with borrowing money these days! Let me tell you, with just this little money, those pirates won't look down on it at all! Don't even think you can redeem it!"

Bella put her hands on her hips and said in a very rude tone, "Don't waste your money... Your good-for-nothing son might have been taken by pirates and fed to the sharks!"
