Witch, I'm really not an ancient god of the deep sea!

Chapter 71 Big News

The sudden appearance of the blonde woman plunged the Black Rabbit Gang's meeting room into a brief silence.

The blonde woman leaned back on the sofa and said somewhat languidly:
"Why did it suddenly become so quiet? What do you want to explain to the Black Whale Gang? Keep talking!"

The aura of the newcomer indicated that he was a first-tier transcendent being.

A valiant member of the Black Rabbit gang suddenly kicked over a chair, pulled out a black pistol, and pointed it at the woman's head.
"You dare to barge into our Black Rabbit Gang's important meeting? You're asking for it! Brothers, grab your weapons!"

Snapped!
The next second, the gang's second-in-command, a bespectacled man, suddenly stood up and slapped the gang member hard across the face, knocking him to the ground.

"Are you out of your mind?"

Immediately afterwards, the bespectacled man stood up, straightened his suit, and whispered to the gang members:

"She has a powerful background, we can't afford to offend her, so we'll just have to bear with it."

At this moment, under the lights, everyone could finally see the face of the newcomer.

She had beautiful short, golden hair, cat-like blue eyes, and a camera in her hand.

She was no ordinary person; she was none other than Peru, the chief reporter of the Moonstone City White Dove Times, a miracle reporter!
However, at this moment, Peilu's hair was messy, and she also had some dark circles under her eyes.

In the legends of Moonstone City's gangs, although Peru was only a first-tier transcendent, all the gangs that tried to oppose her paid a heavy price.

Despite causing a huge disaster, there's always someone to clean up after Peluru.

People speculated that she might be a mad princess expelled from the royal family of Bel, a witch with demon blood, or the daughter of the director of a mental hospital.

There are countless urban legends about her.

Upon meeting Peluru, without a powerful background, resistance would be a suicide mission; she could either obediently accept the interview or run away.

The bespectacled man naturally knew this, and he skillfully bowed at a ninety-degree angle:

"Miss Perle, I apologize. My subordinate was rude just now. Please forgive him."

"She's quite sensible."

Peroo stepped forward, looked around, and then found the most luxurious chair in the room and sat down.

That was the chair that their Black Rabbit Gang leader cherished!

Only the leader of the Black Rabbit Gang dares to sit in this chair.

The Black Rabbit Gang's underlings were shocked. Their boss had only been dead for a day, and someone had already taken his place.

Peilu crossed her legs, took out her manuscript and pen, and casually said:

"Just a heads up, something very serious is happening right now, so you'd better just do your job and give this interview."

Something very serious has happened! Could it be that the guards outside have met with misfortune...? The bespectacled man slowly straightened up and asked:

"Miss Perle, may I ask what this very serious matter is?"

Peluru picked at her ear with a pen:

"I'm in a bad mood today."

"..."

The bespectacled man choked up.

Is being in a bad mood a very serious thing?
The next second, Pelouch looked at the dim image on the projector, frowned, and then said:
"Do you know what? I searched for the Flower Witch for three days, but I only got a few clues."

Besides that, the jerk in the company who can only draw women's and men's bodies has seen his newspaper sales hit a new high, almost surpassing mine.

Not only that, after three sleepless nights, I wanted to go to the beach and have a meal of moonfish made by my lovely fans, but that guy had disappeared somewhere.

An extraordinary chef, yet utterly unprofessional and money-grubbing!

Judging from Peilu's tone, her irritability was palpable.

The bespectacled man calmly said:
"With the arrival of the Crack Tide, the supply of Moonfish has indeed been limited recently, which is a very bad thing."

"Yes! Of course, the most important thing is that I haven't had any good news lately."

"I have no choice but to come here to interview you about your dealings with the Black Whale Gang. I hope your messy affairs will make it into my newspaper."

As she spoke, Peilu turned her head and placed the pen on the manuscript paper.

The usually composed bespectacled man clenched his fist at this moment.

The gang's kidnapping, extortion of protection money, and other evil deeds were all permitted by the higher-ups.

As long as they don't cross the line, law enforcement agencies in the third district often turn a blind eye.

However, the fact that they colluded with pirates is a completely different matter!

Colluding with pirates, specifically with the Black Whale Pirates, the most notorious of the four major pirate groups!

With the recent naval reorganization, the nation is determined to regain control of the seas!
If this were happening today, it would be an extremely serious crime!

They might even be sentenced to punishments more severe than the death penalty, becoming experimental subjects for special institutions in the country.

They can't say it easily.

Peluru yawned:
"Hurry up and tell me. After I finish interviewing you, I need to go back to the newspaper office to submit the article to the review team before I can go home and sleep."

Oh, right, I also need to find time to grab a meal; time is precious.

The bespectacled man bit his lip, his hand resting on the gun at his waist, looking extremely conflicted.

The arrogant woman in front of me may have a powerful background, but in the end, she is just a first-level superhuman!
This is their territory.

She was just flesh and blood; once the bullet pierced her skull, she would become a corpse. If the boss were still alive, even if he killed her, he would be hunted down by the powerful connections behind her.

They could also escape to the sea and remain at large.

And their Black Rabbit Gang will become a notorious gang in Moonstone City because of killing Peru.

If the leader hadn't encountered the coastal overlord, if their leader had set sail on a different day, if the leader were alive...

They all had the confidence to take action.

But now, the entire Black Rabbit is buried in the storm at sea.

The eldest brother cannot be brought back to life.

The Black Rabbit Gang is already defunct in name only. They cannot bear the crime of killing even a civilian, let alone killing Pero.

They could only obediently kneel down and let Peilu do as she pleased.

There was no room for resistance, no room for negotiation... After realizing the truth, the bespectacled man collapsed to the ground.
I'll tell you everything.

Three months ago, our leader, Black Rabbit, met a middle-aged woman from the Black Whale Gang by chance in the city's red-light district. Eventually, at her suggestion, we decided to join the Black Whale Gang.

The Black Whales told us that a dramatic change would occur in the entire ocean in about three months, and that they needed a large number of people to let the navy know who the master of the Witch Sea was, so they extended an invitation to us.

So, under Black Rabbit's arrangement, we began preparations to set sail.

"The old lady? That pirate old lady who keeps a hundred handsome men, your leader and she finalized the deal in the red-light district to join you and the Black Whale Gang. How many people were involved in this?"

"Ten people, all the leaders of our gang participated, and we almost got caught by a navy officer."

#Gang members and pirate leader "old lady" engaging in forbidden acts in the red-light district, drawing the attention of the Navy#
Perlu wrote the title on her manuscript paper, thought for a moment, and then changed the title.

As the top-selling reporter in Moonstone City's newspaper, she had no reason to use such a deceptive headline.

She rested her chin on her hand and twirled her pen:

"So, the Black Whale Group knew three months ago that the Rift Tide was about to arrive. That's interesting. Even the Bei Kingdom Meteorological Bureau didn't know that."

Anything else?

The bespectacled man swallowed a mouthful of water:

"That's all. Many things were decided by our leader, Black Rabbit. Unfortunately, he is currently at sea and has been attacked."

"Should we blame all the crimes on the dead?"

By the way, he died at sea, and it wasn't a faked death? Isn't there any more interesting information?

Many gang leaders fake their deaths before leaving their gangs to avoid being hunted down.

Peroo slowly wrote down the message.

In fact, the Black Rabbit Gang was not the only gang that cooperated with the Black Whale Gang.

Other newspapers also reported on the matter.

The news about the Black Rabbit Gang can only be considered minor news.

The bespectacled man said helplessly:
"It wasn't a faked death. The Black Rabbit encountered the coastal overlord, Black Mud. We have evidence. This may be the final fate of us gang members."

"The chances of encountering the near-shore overlord and the black mud are extremely low. Your gang is really lucky."

Peru became interested and walked over to the projector.

The projector in front of me was still playing the scene at sea on a loop.

The sea was gray, the storm was howling, the black mud was like waves, and the terrifying coastal overlord was a menacing creature.

This scene is far more interesting than those boring gang members.

Perlu watched it intently once more:
"Hey, is there any possibility of internal strife happening on your Black Rabbit?"

"Internal strife? That's unlikely. What's wrong, Miss Peru?"

The bespectacled man asked, puzzled.

Peru bent down, a glint of light flashing in her eyes.

"Did you encounter a shipwreck?"

She replayed it again, staring intently at the scene before her.

"No, no."

She murmured to herself:

"The image is blurry, but many people in the image are clearly looking at a target, a target that they fear."

The black mud on the boat showed signs of being trampled in a short period of time.

Moreover, a figure flashed across the edge of the image.

Your leader, lying on the ground, had knife wounds that were barely visible on his body, besides the black mud..."

The crowd was still somewhat puzzled after listening to Peilu's analysis.

"Miss Perle, what are you trying to say?"

Peroo's eyes flashed, and then she uttered a speculation that shocked the gang members present.

"Someone on this ship took advantage of the chaos to murder your Black Rabbit Gang."
