Chapter 435: Chapter 338: Pirate King’s Treasure and Such Matters

Uriel’s information was limited, so he could only report to Michael: "Boss, we’ve confirmed that the new Beelzebub has also reached the Golden Divine Throne."

Michael was quite troubled: "That means yet another possibility, the new Beelzebub disguising as the old Beelzebub to perform a substitution?"

Uriel said: "But the good news is we’ve confirmed the existence of a new rookie, which makes filtering them out not too difficult."

Michael sighed: "Indeed, the basic dynamics of society is selection! I’ll specifically arrange some preferential tasks targeting the new Beelzebub, surely it will appear, and once we find it, tracking down the old geezer won’t be hard."

Sariel’s report also came: "Boss, we discovered the completely plundered Silver Baron Hagen and Silver Earl Gerald ships in the accident area. The crews are in deep sleep, completely unaware of what happened, identical to the previous incident."

Michael raised an eyebrow: "So just like before, there’s no sign of the Sirens?"

Sariel said: "Exactly! There are warships from the Golden Empire patrolling the three flanks as well, but nothing was found."

Michael pondered: "These Sirens, where have they taken the ship’s cargo? The Thousand Islands Pirates alone couldn’t possibly accomplish such a clean, swift job."

Raphael wondered: "Last time we thought they took it to Plague Island, but reconnaissance yielded nothing. Now the incident location is even further from Plague Island, so is it possible the Sirens gathered a bunch of Sea Race and dumped the minerals straight into the sea?"

Sariel sighed: "Impossible. Our fleet includes the Giant Whale, which handles underwater reconnaissance. There are no dumped minerals or Sea Race nearby."

Raphael sighed: "This Giant Whale is after all customized by the Divine Team, is there a chance it’s lying?"

Sariel was taken aback: "What?"

Metatron spoke: "I feel chasing the trail of the minerals isn’t very meaningful. The key is, the hypnosis by these Sirens is really effective, imagine hypnotizing a main warship from the Golden Empire—"

Sariel’s spirit surged: "That would breach the sunken ship’s protection, allowing us to dismantle the power units on the spot! Then we could have our own super warship!"

Everyone was in an uproar: "What kind of inside-out collaboration would it take to achieve this?"

Gabriel cleared his throat: "Like Chun? After all, the pirate Sirens came specifically to save him? He might count as an external factor capable of connecting with the Sirens, but we can’t discuss this openly with him, he’ll need to figure it out himself..."

Sariel was anxious: "Just with him? Does that mean we have to release him? Impossible!"

Michael sighed: "Let’s not consider impractical tasks. The key is that the two mineral ships being hijacked raises doubts among citizens, among the Church’s opposition, and within the Empire regarding the role of the Mermaid Guardian God. Sariel, find a way to resolve this matter."

Sariel muttered: "For now, all I can do is generate publicity to exaggerate the mermaid’s achievements."

Michael said: "Perhaps the focus could be shifted by launching publicity, like collaborating with Fafnir’s pirate treasure map activities. From the dream hypnosis earlier, I gather that some treasure maps might truly be left by the Pirate King, triggering the appearance of a second-generation Pirate King."

Sariel: "Understood."

Gabriel said: "Then let’s create a buzz in our city taverns."

Raphael: "I’m on board!"

...

PM.

Chun was woken up from a hazy sleep by the cybercafe attendant’s knock: "Brother Chun, time for dinner!"

Chun quickly got up to open the door: "Ah, thank you!"

The attendant spoke mysteriously: "Brother Chun, something big happened this afternoon, the pirate king’s golden treasure myth and various divine artifacts are being circulated throughout the cities!"

Holy shit, Aziza’s pulling off something this grand?

Chun asked again: "Anything else?"

"Now Black Iron City’s Baka also started fully deciphering the treasure map. The Great God and others are restless, they want Brother Chun’s guidance on this?"

What a trap! Chun immediately instructed: "It’s a trap, don’t bother! Let them continue with the Hidden Warrior task in the boxing gym instead."

"Got it, nothing else, Brother Chun, enjoy your meal."

Chun opened the food platter, and it was lobster and red wine again!

Holy shit! To be honest, Chun was anxious to know what major developments transpired during the hours he slept, no leisure to slowly savor lobster, especially as someone in detention, unworthy of such fine dining.

Better to send Director Zhou a text, ordinary fast food is sufficient.

Zhou Qing promptly responded: "Ah, I thought Brother Chun’s detention might be less hectic, allowing for a leisurely meal! Fine, fast food tomorrow then."

Ah... So that’s what she thought? Makes sense, I actually don’t have much going on.

After dinner, Chun resumed his online activities.

——System prompt: Welcome to the Golden Continent, the current time is 5:36 AM Golden Continent Time...

His main account remained lying flat on Aileen’s second-floor bed, but Aileen was nowhere to be found.

To be honest, this lying flat lifestyle frustrated Chun greatly, nothing beats the tangible rewards from mining AFK.

Better to focus on the alt account.

Chun switched views, and Earth Lotus greeted: "Father’s here, I’ve rested a lot. Bobo arranged tasks for newcomers, you can check her records in the book. I haven’t noticed anything unusual."

Oh! It’s possible to review surveillance footage?

Chun wanted to see how the new rookie was managed, immediately replaying from Bobo leaving the sewer. Then discovered the surveillance video could fast forward, finding she seamlessly teleported to a rather lavish bedroom.
