Chapter 588: Garrett in Fear
The position in which Garrett was lying was so awkward that when she realized this she immediately raised her head as if she had received an electric shock.
Her eyes met with Jiger who was looking down at her, and the air seemed to freeze at that moment.
Fortunately, Giger's physique is completely different from that of ordinary people. Even if he suffered such a fierce headbutt from Garrett, it would not break his defense, or make him become a "Wudang Sect" like a conditioned reflex.
Garrett's face turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye. She propped up her limp body and said with her head down,
"I am extremely sorry. I am being rude, Tianlong... Lord Jiger."
Jiger waved his hand nonchalantly and said,
"It's not your fault just now, go sit down."
Garrett's legs were still shaking, and she obviously hadn't recovered from the impact of the Mark of the Void just now. The same was true for Bovair.
The two sisters supported each other and found two chairs to sit down, then looked at Jiger who was sitting high on the throne of the sky.
Thinking of the extremely terrifying feeling of oppression just now, a layer of fine cold sweat appeared on Garrett's forehead.
In her understanding, it was a domineering color that far surpassed the one that the old lady had when she went crazy. In front of that domineering color that was like a golden ocean, it really made people feel like they had turned into a speck of dust in the universe, small and humble.
Beauvoir was even more unbearable. She was wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes with her hands. She was actually scared to tears just now.
Seeing the pale faces of the two women, Jiger himself felt a little helpless, because he indeed had not experienced the power of the Mark of the Void, so that as soon as he sat down, he unconsciously released the power, making it seem as if he was going to destroy the Dessert Islands.
In fact, when Ziger arrived at first, he was still a little angry, because he heard that Garette wanted to hand over the throne to Katakuri. You know, he wanted Garette to sit in this position, and before he had the idea of replacing someone, even Garette herself could not abdicate without authorization.
It can be said that except for a few people in this world, Jiger is extremely domineering towards everyone else.
It's just that Garette was really scared just now, and Giger had a good impression of Garette, so he didn't intend to pursue her further on this matter.
After Garette and Beauval had calmed down a little, Giger smiled and said,
"Garrette, I heard that the Dessert Islands have been developing very well in recent times. It is very different from the previous pirate family model. It seems that you are very capable."
Garrett didn't expect that Jiger would praise her right away. She was flattered and responded quickly.
"Actually, I just want everyone to do what they are best at. Just don't be a pirate anymore..."
"Really? Is it really that simple?"
Jiger smiled meaningfully and tapped his fingers on the golden armrests of the Sky Throne a few times, creating circles of transparent ripples on it.
"Didn't you order the execution of the seven members of the Charlotte family? You personally executed the former Minister of Finance, Charlotte Nozette. All seven of them are your brothers and sisters. I never thought you would be so capable."
Garrett bit her lip and said,
"I don't want to do this either, but if I'm not ruthless, they will sooner or later put the family into a desperate situation, especially Nozette, he..."
"He threatened to kill me to avenge Charlotte Lingling?"
"That's right. Although he was drunk that time, he is guilty of a capital crime if he said such a thing. If I don't take some strong measures, the outside world may think that I am tacitly approving of this. If I am caught and investigated, the family that I have saved with great difficulty will be completely ruined!"
Jiger looked at Garrett with admiration and said,
"Yes, you handled it very well. I am very satisfied. However, they are your brothers and sisters after all. It would be too inhumane to kill them directly. Next time, if something like this happens again, just break their limbs and put them in jail."
Garette didn't know how to respond for a moment. Beauval on the side secretly clicked his tongue. According to what Giger said, the method would be like making people live a life worse than death. It would be better to kill them with a knife.
Jiger propped his chin with one hand and suddenly asked,
"Garrette, do you know why I kept the Charlotte Family?"
Garrett was stunned by Jiger's sudden question. After thinking for a moment, she tentatively asked,
"Because we can also create some value for you, such as paying Tianshang Gold..."
Jiger laughed when he heard this and said,
"Which country in the world doesn't pay the Heavenly Gold? Mary Geoise is such a small place, how much Heavenly Gold can be used every year? Do you think it's still short of what the Charlotte family pays?"
Garrett naturally understood this, but she really couldn't think of any other reason, so she simply lowered her head and said,
"I'm sorry, Master Jiger, I can't understand your intention."
Giger chuckled, stood up from the chair, and slowly walked towards Garette below. Seeing Giger coming, Garette hurriedly stood up and pulled up Beauvoir who was still in a daze.
Until Jiger walked up to her, Garrett didn't dare to look up, and stood there in a humble posture with her back half bent.
Jiger pinched Garrett's chin and lifted it up slightly. Looking into Garrett's confused eyes, Jiger said,
"Of course it's because of you. Well, if it wasn't you who received Stussy at that time, the Charlotte Family would have sunk to the bottom of the sea along with the Dessert Islands."
Hearing what Jiger said, Garrett was struck by lightning, her body trembled violently, and a look of disbelief appeared on her face.
Jiger pinched Garrett's chin and gently moved his hand upwards until it touched Garrett's beautiful red lips, fiddling with them as if playing with them.
Garrett's emotions also fluctuated with the movement of Jiger's fingers. She didn't dare to move, so she had to tense her body and freeze in place like a stone statue.
"Butter Queen... this title is really interesting. Just for this title, the throne belongs to you. Don't even think about giving up the position, or I'll be really angry."
As he spoke, Jiger narrowed his eyes slightly, and Garrett quickly spoke up,
"I'm sorry, Master Jiger, I will never have such thoughts again!"
"Haha, that's right, um... you are so capable, but I haven't given you the reward you deserve yet..."
After saying this, Giger turned his gaze to the silent Beauval and said softly,
"Garette, Beauval is your only sister, right?"
