Chapter 404: Impersonating the Pirate King, Baron Bapon Goes on Hunger Strike
Metatron arrives at the Bronze Flower Mansion.

The butler came out to greet him: "Mr. Sage, the young lady has gone to bed. What can I do for you?"

Metatron asked, "Miss, do you go to bed so early these past two days?"

"Yes, usually at this time, she would be in the basement doing research."

Metatron certainly knew the reason. It was probably because Michael released her soul from Valhalla to drive a robot, which caused her to become abnormal.

Let's get straight to the point: "Did Baron Modern come over tonight?"

The butler sighed, "Yes, the modern baron always wants to please the young lady, but the young lady does not appreciate his hairstyle, but she can't bear to say it out loud."

At this moment, Tifa's voice came from upstairs: "Butler, ask Mr. Sage to come to the tea room upstairs."

The housekeeper was stunned for a moment, then said, "It seems that the young lady hasn't rested well either. Mr. Sage, please."

Metatron arrived at the tea room, where Tifa was waiting in her pajamas, her legs crossed. Suddenly, a black cat sat under her chair.

Tifa asked directly, "Any news about the Imperial Frigate and the Pirate King?"

Metatron said, "No trace of the Imperial frigates has been found, but there are mixed reports about the Pirate King. Some say he's preparing to attack our Bronze City, while others say there are both real and fake pirates."

Tifa was stunned: "Is there a fake Pirate King?"

Metatron said, "It is said that this is also necessary for the tavern to sell information conveniently..."

I have to say that Xila's information came at a very timely moment.

Tifa frowned. "If there are fake Pirate Kings, then the Pirate King who attacked the City of Silver, raided the Remya Mansion, and stole the Imperial Frigate could also be a fake?"

"That's...right. It depends on who benefits. For the pirates, a fake benefit can help them avoid massive retaliation from the Golden Empire. For Silver City, a real benefit allows them to shirk responsibility."

At this point, Metatron hastily turned the topic to the black cat: "Miss, have you got a new pet?"

Tifa said calmly, "No, actually. Baron Modern sent it to me, but the little guy refused to pay."

After saying that, he picked up the cat and threw it into Metatalon's arms.

Metatron didn't hesitate and took out his all-seeing eye to scan the black cat. There was nothing unusual?
Tifa added, "I asked the housekeeper to look up the cat's origins. It seems to be the cat of a wizard who died unexpectedly. The wizard's death may be related to the biker gang leader."

Metatron was stunned: "Who is the Mage?"

Tifa said in a deep voice, "I don't know! It might have happened more than ten years ago, but I can be sure that this wizard was very powerful, otherwise he wouldn't have raised such a smart cat."

Metatron sensed something was amiss. "So, Miss wants me to investigate this wizard and the biker gang?"

Tifa shook her head. "What I want to say is more important. Our shipbuilding project requires a lot of money. Where will the money come from?"

Metatron had actually said this before: "Of course, find a few cities to borrow money, and we sages will put it into operation."

Tifa frowned. "Do you think that's enough? Can the project still be kept secret after raising debt?"

Metatron was stunned for a moment, then instantly thought of the Pirate King and the leader of the Biker Gang she mentioned, and suddenly realized: "Let the Pirate King steal money from the Biker Gang?"

Tifa had a strange smile on her face. "Do you think this is feasible, Mr. Sage?"

Metatron's eyelids twitched wildly. "The biker gang leader colluded with the nobles to engage in smuggling and undermine the city's justice. The people are extremely resentful. Of course it's feasible! As for this pirate king, of course he could be real or fake!"

Tifa said comfortedly, "How about you handle this matter in secret?"

Metatron said solemnly: "Leave it to me."

"Then, let's start the investigation and preparations immediately."

After leaving the mansion, Metatron couldn't wait to greet the group: "Everyone, we have a source of funds for our shipbuilding. Let's see the intelligence of the Bronze Flower..."

Michael was surprised. "She's saying we should play the pirate king and rob this biker gang?"

Sariel laughed. "If we really follow this line of thought, we can rob more than just one biker gang. We can rob all the chambers of commerce, gangs, and even the Golden Empire!"

Metatron was anxious: "Don't be too aggressive! Let's practice with this biker gang first."

Xila laughed. "It's hard to imagine this is that wild and simple biker girl, isn't it? If you say this plan was thought up by the Black Iron Flower or the Silver Flower, I'd be quite convinced."

Metatron sighed, "The Black Iron Flower? Actually, I always feel that this incident is too strange. My first reaction is that it is related to Dachun, but compared with our shipbuilding plan, it seems unimportant, right?"

Sariel smiled. "Why bother with a guy in jail? Let's discuss how to play the role of pirate! Anyway, if anything goes wrong, Dachun will be blamed for colluding with pirates."

Gabriel also laughed: "Dachun has such benefits, why not extradite him to our Oak City, and your fake Pirate King will take the opportunity to help me snatch a few gangs..."

……

Kamimae Team Headquarters.

The voyeur was monitoring the late-night activity in the southern canyon village, bewildered by the sight of tens of thousands of Chinese players digging and burning torches all over the canyon. Meanwhile, he was investigating the Black Dragon God's movements in the western fortress, but was completely clueless.

Actually, it's not like there's no clue at all. The second person, Sariel, had revealed that Tata War God had used his internal staff to gain clues about the Black Dragon God, so it was very likely related to Tata War God. However, Tata War God was looking for a dog in the slums?
Of course, what is also frustrating is that Wei Shen from the Dachun Gang has not appeared since he disappeared from the back door of the Night Rose Tavern.

At this moment, the monitoring team reported: "Two scouts at the Night Rose Tavern were suddenly hypnotized. The reason is unknown."

The candid photographer was suddenly startled and immediately rushed to the tavern.

At this time, not only two low-level team members were hypnotized, but also many drinkers.

The candid cameraman immediately ordered: "Replay all the videos in the city within the past 10 hours!"

Then the candid photographer immediately came to Vivian's counter and asked, "Ms. Vivian, is there anything unusual?"

Weiweian was surprised and said, "Yes, you should go back to the Baron's Mansion to visit Baron Bapon. He is feeling very uncomfortable tonight and has not eaten dinner."

The candid photographer was stunned. There are times when fat people don’t eat dinner? But, he’s not the focus!

He secretly filmed and pointed at the drunken patrons: "I mean, is there something unusual in this store?"

Vivian said unhappily, "Isn't it normal to get drunk in a tavern? Go ahead. You're the vice president, don't delay your work."

Having no choice but to take the photo secretly, he had to return to the Baron's Mansion, where he saw the butler looking worried.

"Mr. Butler, Mr. Baron?" The butler said helplessly: "I'm not sick, but I can't eat a single bite. I don't know what's going on. Maybe you can find a solution."

The camera was secretly taken in the dining room. The fat man was facing the table full of sumptuous dinner and had no idea what to eat, even though it was already past dinner time.

"grown ups!?"

The baron trembled and said, "I don't know why, but I feel like I'm going to starve to death!"

The candid photographer was stunned: "Is the food not to your liking?"

The baron was bewildered: "Maybe!"

The candid photographer thought for a moment and said, "Sir, should we immediately hire various well-known master chefs to prepare a meal for you?"

The baron was stunned for a moment, then muttered to himself: "I have never eaten a meal prepared by a master chef! No, I have never eaten top-quality ingredients! I want a top chef, I want to eat top-quality ingredients, no, I want to eat royal ingredients..."

The housekeeper was anxious: "Sir, even if we can invite a master chef, we can't find royal ingredients!"

The baron was anxious: "I have spices. I'll trade them. You guys figure out a way! Quick, Vice President, you have to figure out a way. I'm starving to death!"

A red light suddenly flashed before my eyes—System prompt: Warning! The Chamber of Commerce President, Baron Bapon, is suffering from a mysterious illness. We must contact the Royal Ingredients before he starves to death. If the President dies, the Shangri-La Chamber of Commerce will replace the legal representative.

I was stunned. Was I really going to starve to death? If I died, would I have to resign from my position as Vice President after such a hard-fought victory? However, a baron still wanted royal ingredients. He was dreaming!

This kind of thing is actually beyond my own ability and the capabilities of the Shenqian team. I can probably only report it to the young master, and then the young master will seek help from the Ten Lords.

The young master took the recording very seriously and immediately contacted Sariel...

While they were waiting, the monitoring team's investigation results came back: "Captain, a nun of unknown origin has appeared on a nearby street. Previously, this nun had a conversation with the Tata War God at the church entrance and had also traveled to the dark alley."

It turned out to be the God of War Tata causing trouble!

……

At this time, Sariel, who was planning a fake pirate king plan in the chat group, received a message from the young master in front of God.

Sariel was stunned: "Everyone, something strange happened in Black Iron City. What's going on?"

Michael was stunned. "I've never heard of this strange disease. Xila, do you know anything about demons? Is this related to demons?"

Xila was bewildered. "The demon associated with food is Mammon, but Mammon is only gluttonous and would never go on a hunger strike like this!"

Michael was surprised and asked, "Could it be the evil god lurking in Black Iron City?"

Xila smiled: "If that's the case, I really need to pay attention to it."

Sariel suddenly remembered something: "There are still royal ingredients. When I captured the mermaid's gift pack at the beginning of the server, I killed many sea monsters she summoned, and a lot of top-grade ingredients were blown out at that time. As a result, the summoned whales snatched most of them. Some should still be left at the scene. I retreated without time to clean up the battlefield. When I came back, I met the four treasure hunting ships, the Sea Otter and the Sea Serpent. They should have cleaned up the remaining ingredients. They are very likely the Pirate King's forces, so -"

Xila smiled and said, "Let the Baron offer a high reward worldwide. Then they might bring the ingredients to Black Iron City for delivery. Then I'll have a chance to meet the Pirate King!"

Michael laughed and said, "It's been more than ten days. Won't the pirates eat the food themselves?"

Xila smiled and said, "What if I don't eat it? It's always okay to try."

Michael smiled and said, "Then let the Shenqian team issue the reward notice first."

……

Dachun was woken up by the network administrator knocking on the door to deliver lunch. Only then did he realize that he had slept until noon. Good, this nap was very restorative.

The young man said: "Weishen is still in the final sprint, don't worry, Chun Ge."

Dachun was stunned for a moment: "Don't rush him, there's really no rush!"

The young man continued to report: "Then the Baga Chamber of Commerce president got a strange disease and is starving to death. There's a huge reward for top-quality ingredients from all over the world, and even the fishermen in Black Iron City are out. There's nothing else to worry about. Brother Chun, enjoy your meal."

What the hell? Is the Fat Baron going to starve to death? Could it be that because he killed two Mammons, he's also affected?
Anyway, let’s put the fat guy’s life or death aside for now. I’m really hungry.

Dachun opened up today's lunch and saw, oh, vegetable, tofu and shrimp soup, and two large pieces of sea cucumber fried rice! This is really a combination of homely and high-end, the boss really cares!

After dinner, I came online and immediately saw two rows of system messages:

—Black Iron City World Announcement: Baron Bapon, President of the Shangri-La Chamber of Commerce, is offering a high reward...

——System prompt: Your break is over! It's midnight shift time, please be sure to return to your assigned workstation.

Then there was a rumbling sound around, and it was Ailian who took control of his body and returned to machine tool No. 3 to wipe the oil stains.

Holy shit! A midnight shift? Am I a worker or a prisoner? Prisoners aren't supposed to do this!

Ai Lian said unhappily, "My dear, you're here. I was sleeping soundly when you woke me up."

Dachun was quite distressed: "Everything will be fine now that I'm here, go back to sleep dear."

Ailian sighed, "Alright, let's get to the important matters first. There's news from Bilianna. They've successfully suppressed the two Mammon demon souls with their bloodline. They discovered that they were both clones and had already devoured their hosts' souls. Then the news from the Shangri-La Chamber of Commerce also reached the village, so it's very likely that another Mammon is inside the Baron, and is the original form of these two clones."

Dachun was stunned. "So, it's really the killing of the clone that affected the original? But since I was seriously injured, I should be eating a lot. How could I possibly starve to death?"

Ellen said, "There's probably only one possibility. The Baron's soul hasn't been devoured yet. He realized that Mammon has weakened, so he wants to regain control by going on a hunger strike."

That's right! Dachun recalled that time when Fei Peng and I slapped each other on the street. At that time, Fei Peng was actually teaching me the skills of stunning and resisting stunning very consciously. However, the final blow must have been delivered by Mammon, who used the power of the devil to directly cripple me, and I have lived a happy life in a wheelchair ever since...

Dachun asked again: "Since you are on a hunger strike, why do you still want to eat top-quality ingredients?"

Ailian sighed, "Who knows how the Baron and the Mammon Demon Soul fought? I'm going to sleep first..."

"Have a good rest, dear."

No matter what, Fatty is the branch president of our Black Flag Chamber of Commerce, and Fafna is the behind-the-scenes director. Fafna should know about it, right? She is trying to find a solution, right?

In short, do your own thing first. I have already reached expert level in mopping on the Chifanda machine, so I can definitely reach master level on the task machine.

However, Dachun suddenly found that he was not very capable!
Holy shit, I was caught without dinner! My hunger level caused all my attributes to drop!

But it doesn't matter, it's just a Hunger Style training method...
