Chapter 44 A big surprise
Seeing Stussy's back walking out of the meeting hall, and as the thick red painted door slowly closed, the five old stars remained silent.
The boiling tea continued to emit white mist, and the magnificent hall suddenly became extremely quiet.
"Do you believe what she said?"
At a certain moment, Saint Satan, who was wearing a black flat hat, suddenly spoke in a hoarse voice.
A faint sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.
The eyes of the other Five Old Stars also showed a hint of amusement.
"The lone wolf is dead, and there is no evidence of his death... But with his character, he would not dare to leak that list."
"That's right, the woman who is most suspicious is Stussy."
"But that doesn't matter."
"She has now obtained a new list... If the hunt for Shichibukai candidates is really related to her, she will definitely continue to leak it after she obtains the new list."
"The truth will be known then."
"Holy Damocles, your method is indeed brilliant... You are truly the sword of wisdom and judgment for our Celestial Dragons."
Saint Damocles smiled confidently and calmly:
"If Stussy is innocent, then we can continue to reuse her."
"But if she has that traitorous heart and tries to continue hunting candidates..."
A flash of cold murderous intent flashed through his dim pupils.
"——She will receive a big surprise."
…
Under the leadership of the soldiers of the Holy Land Guards, Stussi walked out of Pangu City tremblingly.
After she got on the carriage and rode the carriage until she left the Holy Land of Mary Gioia, she breathed a long sigh of relief, her tense muscles relaxed, and she leaned her back against the carriage and gasped for air.
The pressure of the world government's supreme power is not so easy to withstand.
Especially when Stussy herself was "ghostly", she was afraid that the five old men with such terrifying and suffocating aura would find out some clues accidentally, so she lived on tenterhooks every minute and every second.
But now...
"Finally I got through it."
Stussy let out a breath and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
She held the brand new list in her hand tightly, her beautiful eyes filled with brilliance.
After mastering this list, I will definitely be able to discern the opportunity, and I will definitely win the bet when the time comes!
"Just wait, Darren."
Stussy gritted his teeth and said:
"I will definitely win."
Thinking of this, she opened the list again and looked at it.
…
The warship sailed at an unhurried speed, plowing a white trail on the sea.
In the cabin, the oil lamp swayed tenaciously and the light danced.
Darren sat there, half of his body hidden in the darkness, looking extremely mysterious.
The flying squirrel's deep voice came out from the military phone bug in his hand:
"So, the government is launching an investigation?"
Darren lit a cigar casually and said with a relaxed smile:
"Yes, but I am the one responsible for the investigation now."
Flying Squirrel: "..."
The corner of his mouth twitched, and he was silent for a long time before he muttered:
“A very reasonable choice.”
"Who says it's not?"
Darren smiled.
The flying squirrel pondered for a moment and asked:
"Now that the investigation has begun, do we still want to continue our operations?"
Darren exhaled a stream of smoke and frowned:
"Don't worry. If I'm not wrong, the government has probably made a new list now."
"Our previous actions were too big, and the government will definitely take precautions next."
The flying squirrel was slightly startled, and quickly realized something, and whispered:
"Do you think there might be something weird about this new list?"
Darren said: "Maybe there is, maybe there is not. Apart from the five immortals, no one probably knows."
"But to be on the safe side, it's better to keep a low profile in the short term. I don't want you to encounter the so-called 'Dragon People's Strongest Shield' when you are hunting the target on the list."
At this point, his eyes narrowed dangerously.
He has never been in the habit of underestimating his enemies, especially when the opponent in the game is the World Government, which has dominated the world for eight hundred years, Darren will of course be more cautious than usual.
Hearing these words, the flying squirrel on the other side of the phone shrank.
Indeed, their previous actions were too big.
The world government cannot sit idly by.
They left no clues or flaws in their actions, so if the government wants to deal with them, it can only set traps to lure prey into taking the bait.
If they are not careful, their next hunting target might be CP0 placed on the new list by the World Government.
"I understand, let's pause here first."
The flying squirrel said solemnly.
"Well," Darren nodded, and then said, "You can go back to Beihai first and deal with the military affairs of the fleet. I will take care of it here."
The flying squirrel was stunned, and his eyes suddenly lit up:
"Are you going to take action?"
Darren smiled and said:
"Well, it's time to go talk to those brats."
After hanging up the phone, Darren slowly walked out of the cabin and came to the bow of the warship.
There, Porusalino lay on a beach chair as usual, basking in the sun leisurely.
This investigation was of great importance. In order to show the importance of the Warring States Period, he also sent his adjutant Porosalino to accompany him.
But looking at Porusalino who looked like a salted fish in front of him, Darren felt that Seng Guo simply didn't want to see this guy.
"Do you think we'll get something done this time, Darren?"
Seeing Darren walking out of the cabin, Porusalino adjusted his sunglasses and asked seemingly casually with a smile on his face.
Darren shrugged and said:
"Who knows about this kind of thing? I'm just following orders. I can only say that I will do my best... Are you right, Lieutenant General Porusalino?"
Porusalino smiled and said:
"Of course, but I do think that no matter who the murderer is on the kill list, they probably won't show up again in the short term."
"If they dare to risk it again, the government may have prepared a big surprise for them..."
Hearing these indicative words, Darren immediately narrowed his eyes and said with a half-smile:
"I thought so too, so I didn't have high hopes."
"Yes……"
Porusalino yawned,
"Anyway, just take a quick walk like this, I won't run around anymore."
He picked up the hat and covered his face, adjusted his sleeping position, and the curve of the corners of his mouth was exposed from the brim of the hat.
"So if Lieutenant General Darren has anything to deal with, you can leave with confidence... I will always stay here and watch the warship."
Darren took a deep look at this guy and said with a smile on his face:
"Then I'll trouble Lieutenant General Porusalino."
