Chapter 542 Take Over (1)
?Captain Free Sword spoke without having any intention of moving from his spot, "I humbly apologize for my previous offense, and this time, I've come with sincerity. I invite Miss and Sir to my humble ship to show my hospitality!"
'Not leaving your turtle shell, huh? But you're only inviting the wolf into your house...' Jacob smiled coldly, as he had already predicted this outcome.
Captain Free Sword would naturally not leave the safety of his ship and crew after knowing Jacob's strength, and he would feel secure with them, so he invited them over.
But Jacob was also ready, and a gray disc appeared under his feet before he began to fly towards the ship. Captain Free Sword's eyes contracted to see this, but he didn't panic.
On Jacob was on the same height as Captain Free Sword, he looked down on the guy, making him uncomfortable, and said, "Since you show yourself, I'll naturally return the courtesy. Led the way."
'So, he is the one in charge!' Captain Free Sword's eyes shimmered with understanding as he had already suspected this since this giant was too powerful. How could someone like him listen to an epic?
Sofie was just a front to keep him hidden, which was completely justifiable since Captain Free Sword would do the same.
"Please." Captain Free Sword didn't pay attention to Sofie anymore and directly led him into the Ship's meeting hall.
Jacob nonchalantly entered, and he also felt many eyes on him; Immortika was right in front of him, and he confirmed that Captain Free Sword wasn't a puppet and all the crewmates were hidden and keeping a close eye on it, ready to react the moment he showed any malice.
Jacob smiled slightly as he asked, "Tell me, how did you end up here?"
Captain Free Sword didn't find this question unreasonable and replied, "My comrades betrayed me, and they disclosed my whereabouts to a powerful enemy, so having no choice, I was forced to use a trump, and I ended up here." Although he was subtle, he still gave a reasonable answer.
"Since your enemy was willing to spend so much time with you, then this could only mean you have something that interests them, or you've done something unforgivable, right?" Jacob asked.
Captain Free Sword smiled bitterly and masterfully dodged the question, "Sir, you should know we star pirates are outlaws, and there are hefty rewards in our heads, so anyone would be interested in calming them. I'm just a little pirate, just living in fear of others. How could I interest others? It's just that some people wanted to be heroes by dealing with a bunch of nobodies like us. We are not evildoers.
"On the other hand, I'm quite curious about how someone like sir is doing here, and what do you want from a nobody like me? As long as I can do it, I'm willing to work for you since all I want is to go back." He quickly changed the topic.
'What a sly bastard. He clearly has something that others want, and he is forced to flee. It seems he is hiding something terrible.' Jacob thought as he easily saw through Captain Free Sword's fa?ade.
Even an idiot could tell that Captain Free Sword was hiding something, which forced him to use something important that could send him directly to the epic star ocean. So, it wouldn't be just some random item.
In the end, Jacob decided to capture him first before taking his sweet time investigating it. He had already won some of Captain Free Sword's trust by lowering his guard.
"How is it?" Jacob questioned Nyx.
"Yes, he's not powerful enough to even detect my seed entering his dreamscape realm. Now, even if he runs, I can easily find him." Nyx confidently replied.
This was Jacob's true goal from the start. Even if Captain Free Sword could teleport away, Nyx's seed would be in his mind, and he couldn't escape Jacob's tracking no matter what. He was now completely in his palm.
The next moment, a ruby color cube appeared in his before crimson light flashed past Jacob's eyes as he used his hex, "Slumber Hex!"
