Chapter 518: The longer you are in prison, the more pirates appreciate you?
Michael came to Valhalla again and entered the Fafner Mansion as a butler again.

I saw Fafner practicing swordplay in the courtyard, her anger evident in her slashing and stabbing.

It has to be said that compared to other city beauties who have good main jobs besides being mages, Fafnir's ability seems a little weak. Perhaps she can only pick up her family's profession, but after all, she can never really reach the level of a warrior.

Michael knew that he must not interrupt her at this time, so he just waited quietly for her to finish venting.

Finally, Fafna put away her sword and let out a long breath.

Michael brought towels and iced drinks in due time.

Farrna sighed, "Let's have a glass of iced Brandy instead."

Michael casually changed the wine: "Miss, you have drunk a little too much tonight."

Fafna sighed, "I just went to the Bronze Prison to visit the city's new talent. I didn't want to go, and I really wouldn't have gone if I had known."

Michael asked, "How's the rookie going?"

Fafner swallowed her drink. "How can I save my dignity if Tifa and Leah saw this shameful thing?"

Michael deliberately asked, "What scandal?"

Fafna smiled helplessly: "Even you, you get excited when you hear about something scandalous!"

Michael Khan said: "I'm sorry, this..."

Fafna sighed, "He's dreaming about the image of that Black Iron Creditor, Biliana! It doesn't matter, actually. He's destined not to be a positive person, so let's train him as a negative person. It doesn't matter if he spends more time in jail. The more serious the crime, the more the pirates will appreciate him..."

At this point, Fafna's tone turned cold. "How hateful that bitch Leah is for being nosy! What kind of health treatment is this? It's not necessary at all. Even if it's treated, it will only ruin him!"

Michael was stunned and immediately asked, "Miss, what is the identity of this Biliana?"

Fafna said in a deep voice, "She's the granddaughter of Black Flag Island's Biyander, and she's 100 years old! She's registered with the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and her creditor's bills are real."

It was the first time Michael knew Biliana's age and he was a little shocked: "But she is very young. Is she still human?"

Fafna chuckled. "There's a profession among humans, or rather, a race called witches. They suck the blood of young men and women to stay young. It's quite normal."

Michael was surprised and asked, "But the Dark Soul Witch who was wanted in Gem City a few days ago was very old?"

Fafna snorted coldly: "That's a low-class witch."

Michael offered Oak Flower's perspective: "Is it possible that after realizing Dachun is in jail, Biliana has lost his value to training and has exploited him relentlessly, leading to Dachun becoming wheelchair-bound and ultimately completely ruining him?"

Fafna was stunned. "That's impossible! The longer you're in jail, the more the pirates should appreciate you!"

Michael offered his argument, "But pirates are also very practical. If they can't offer sufficient benefits, she might not even see Dachun out of prison. Besides, Dachun isn't capable of collecting the debt for her. A few days ago, during the court trial, a powerful pirate who tried to rescue Dachun was killed. Overall, aside from his undeserved reputation as the 11th-ranked pirate in the world, Dachun has actually caused more harm than good to the pirates, right? Why would the pirates still admire him?"

Fafna was stunned on the spot, frowning: "What should we do then?" Michael was stunned by the question. He originally planned to get the information she knew, but he didn't expect that she didn't seem to know much about pirates?

Gabriel in the chat group laughed. "This Fafner's intelligence is quite interesting. If you throw a difficult question to her, she'll ask it back! Now let's see how the boss handles it!"

Sariel laughed and said, "This kind of rhetorical questioning is actually a sign of low intelligence! The other four beauties don't have this problem."

Xila said unhappily, "The boss is thinking, don't interrupt!"

Michael was helpless and could only reply, "It's really difficult. Let's wait and see. I might suspect the wrong pirate."

Fafna let out a long breath and slowly stood up. "Okay, let's wait and see. Let time give the answer. I'm going to rest. It's almost midnight. Butler, you should also rest early..."

"Good night, miss."

Michael exited Valhalla and began a group chat. "This conversation yielded two important insights. One is that Dachun's future direction is to deliberately serve time in prison and lower his reputation in order to gain the pirates' appreciation. The other is that the opinions of the Black Iron Flower and the Oak Flower are opposite. Which one is correct?"

Xila sighed, "The Black Iron Flower's abilities can't be compared to the other city flowers. She's colluding with pirates, yet she doesn't know much about them. She's a bit of a young lady, naive and foolish. Of course, this is a good thing for me, as it will make it easier to gain her trust. Let this witch drain Dachun dry and cripple him, and I'll take his place."

Metatron said, "But there's also a possibility that this Siren Witch won't drain Dachun dry. This is just Oakflower's speculation. Perhaps she has selfish motives and is deliberately saying this in order to obtain a research toy."

Sariel frowned. "So the idea that the longer this fly is in jail, the more the pirates appreciate him is valid?"

Michael sighed, "If that's the case, then it's too annoying. Even if he's locked up for a year, he'll still be able to secure a high position in the pirate group after he's released. Compared to the resources his position can mobilize, his own strength is actually unimportant."

Metatron was getting a little impatient. "Now that we know his development strategy, it's simple. Then we can do the opposite. Instead of putting him in jail, we can send a few puppet robots to push his cart around the streets, giving him good food and drink. We can then mobilize the citizens and nobles to praise him, and make the pirates suspicious and distrustful of him."

The crowd booed, "Do you really have to go from one extreme to the other?"

Metatron said unhappily, "I'm just a mechanical geek anyway, and I don't want to get involved in intrigue in this area."

Sariel was speechless: "Then you also have to consider what to do if the pirate gang comes to rescue him after pushing him into the street?"

Metatalon snorted coldly, "I'll have Tifa set a bunch of bombs on his wheelchair. If you try to save him, they'll explode."

Xila was excited: "Bombs are great! We can deliberately spread the news. Dachun deliberately cooperated to lure the pirates to rescue him, just in time to make him lose the trust of the pirates. Once they lose trust, this siren witch will not hold back. She will squeeze him dry even if she doesn't want to!"

Everyone laughed: "This is an interesting idea."

Michael smiled. "Whatever method you use, let's give it a try. The only prerequisite is to ensure that Dachun can't escape."

Metatron: "Don't worry."

Xila snorted coldly, "Even if Metatron is useless and really runs away, we can still spread the word that we deliberately let Dachun escape so that he can infiltrate the pirate organization as a spy. That way, the pirates will still not trust him, and they may even take the initiative to capture Dachun and collect the bounty."

The bosses: "Interesting! Worth a try..."
