They don't want me to try anymore.

Richard rubbed his forehead and said, "So? Do you agree to my plan?"

"No problem, I agree, but..."

Veronica suddenly stood up, walked to Richard's side, rubbed her calf against his calf, and pressed her lips to his earlobe, whispering, "Does that mean you're now going to play the role of my prisoner and bread?"

"..."

"We can't let that spy spot any flaws, Your Highness, don't you agree?"

"..."

Richard sensed something was off!

"So, why don't you bark a couple of times?"

"..."

"Oh, or how about we try some bondage in bed?"

"Captain Veronica, you..."

"Don't rush to refuse, I'll be very careful. Or, you can tie me up yourself, handsome prince~"

"...Maybe I should just call him."

"Hmm, I'll decide what to call you then. I've heard too many cries of pain, they're boring. How about you shout: 'Please continue whipping me, Lady Veronica,' what do you say?"

"I reject!"

"Haha, just kidding."

Before Richard could lose his temper, Veronica gave in first, but then she brought her lips close to Richard's neck.

"But at least... once you're in my room, shouldn't you leave a hole in your neck? Relax, the process is quite pleasant, and I'll savor it, Your Highness~"

Ok……

Surrounded by the woman's fragrance, Richard regretted his actions.

I should have taken the opportunity to tie you up!

But then again, does the process of a vampire sucking blood really look like giving someone a hickey? Veronica, were you doing this on purpose? Don't you know that this process can easily lead to a ruptured carotid artery...? Okay, then it seems you were indeed doing it on purpose.

A few minutes later, Richard walked out of the captain's cabin looking exhausted (mainly mentally).

The other prisoners couldn't help but whisper among themselves.

"He must have been tortured terribly by Veronica!"

"Damn it, those bastard vampires!"

"My turn is coming soon, what am I going to do? Waaaaah..."

Katyusha and White also became worried.

"Your Highness, how are you?"

Richard covered the hickey on his neck and said, "It's barely there, but thankfully it wasn't exposed."

"Should we run away now?"

"Let's wait a bit longer. I'm tired, and I also want to observe Veronica and her gang for a while longer."

White was a little nervous: "But I'm next..."

"Believe me, White, a real man can get through this!"

After receiving Richard's encouragement, White swallowed hard, his heart filled with resentment.

He had initially thought it would be an easy and promising job!

Accompanying the young master to experience life, just strolling around on the naval flagship, shouldn't that be very safe?

Who knew that this guy, who was a champion, was so reckless, actually went deep into the tiger's den and turned him into a vampire's prisoner as well!

Sigh, why is it so hard to earn a few hundred yuan?

However, judging from Richard's appearance, although he was in pain, he probably didn't suffer too much.

Maybe I'll be fine then...

Hoping for a lucky break, White also entered the captain's cabin about twenty minutes later.

He didn't see Veronica.

Instead, he was dragged into the lower cabin by two burly men.

"What...what are you trying to do?"

"The captain said he's tired today, so we'll take good care of the remaining prisoners."

One of the burly men grinned maliciously and pulled out a large stick from behind his back: "You don't look very energetic, let me give you a boost!"

"No!"

That night, different people on the Pearl S. Buck received completely different fates.

at the same time.

A seagull flew to the eastern coastline and eventually turned to ashes on the roof of a luxurious mansion guarded by soldiers.

Beside him, a well-dressed man, pretending to admire the starry sky, squatted down, picked up a note from the ashes, and read it carefully.

"He ran off to the middle of the ocean? He really likes to cause trouble. How could Henry II have given birth to such a child..."

The man's name was Walter.

He is the de facto director of Standard Fruit Company responsible for affairs in the Southwest region.

Of course, in the eyes of others, he is the uncrowned king of Connaught.

Under his leadership, Standard Fruit Company, with the power of the empire, has suppressed the Connaught royal family and all other Connaughts who wish to rebel, accumulating blood debts and soaring profits.

This is why he was able to easily plant spies around Richard.

However, looking at the intelligence at this moment, this uncrowned king only felt a headache and could not laugh at all.

As a high-ranking executive at Standard Fruit Company, he was well aware of Richard's hostile attitude, so he was eager to cause trouble—but Richard was too different from the other Connaughts, and he couldn't handle him!

Exceptional talent, formidable strength, status as a student of Saint Goethe, and a camaraderie with the Sword of the Empire and the young lady of the Tory family...

Faced with this champion with a powerful background who had shocked the Empire at the Resurrection Festival competition, the money and power tools he usually used as an Imperial lackey were rendered useless.

Even if he were to risk everything and attempt an assassination... come on, even William Clinton of the Highland Legion couldn't defeat him, so where does he get the confidence to hire a few mercenaries to kill him?

After thinking it over, Walter let out a long sigh.

Let the old Dulles and his ilk worry about this guy.

Anyway, this kid's arrogance will only last for a while, and in the end... it will definitely be the victory of our empire!

As for myself, I should focus on doing my job well first.

"gentlemen!"

At this moment, his cousin, who was also his trusted secretary, went up to the top floor and whispered, "Captain Joseph has arrived."

"Oh? He finally agreed to my conditions?"

Walter's face lit up with joy. He straightened his collar and prepared to go downstairs.

The secretary was still somewhat worried: "Sir... are you really going to hand that map over to them? Our family has clearly studied it for a long time..."

"You've been researching for a long time but haven't found anything, have you? You might as well sell it for a good price."

Walter shook his head and said to his nephew behind him, "Kid, the only real benefits are those that can be eaten. Besides, everything has to be prioritized. What we need most right now isn't treasure, but..."

“…Kill that person.”

Chapter 107 A Male and Female Team Up, Let's Get Him Shot

"That Charlie guy has been called to the captain's cabin again."

"That's terrible! Being summoned three times in two days? He must have been severely whipped!"

"I was covered in wounds after just one visit. As for him, he's probably already become nothing more than bread for vampires, hasn't he?"

"If it were me, I definitely wouldn't be able to endure such torture..."

Morning, on the deck of the Pearl S. Buck.

While resting after work, the captives of the Black Shark Pirates talked about one of their unfortunate fellows, shaking their heads and sighing.

Katyusha, hidden among them, frowned slightly.

She missed Veronica last night because of her "good luck," and now she can only imagine the vampire's methods of tormenting people based on the comments of those around her, and the more she thinks about it, the more worried she becomes.

She whispered to White beside her, "Is that Veronica really that scary?"

White, looking dejected, rubbed the bruises on his body and said, "Just encountering her henchmen yesterday was worse than death for me. I imagine the person in question must be even more ruthless..."

"So, Your Highness is suffering?"

The little girl couldn't hold back any longer: "Why don't we make some noise so that His Highness has a chance to escape..."

"Don't you dare!"
