Chapter 286: Cooperation
The Treasure City is Luth. The Treasure family's private territory has a lot of power here, but Rank, the lord of Treasure City, is not a member of the Treasure family. Ronk was born in the Ninth Legion of the New Human Empire, and after retiring from the army, he became a member of the Ninth Legion. Treasure's guard, and at the age of fifty, he was appointed Lord of Treasure City by Luth. Rank's strength is as high as Rank B, and coupled with Luth's trust, it is not surprising that he has the position of Lord of Treasure City - but what makes people feel confused is Luth's attitude.
Ruth has always been a woman who values blood, and all important positions in the twin stars are held by members of the Jumbo family. Even the men she had favored were forcibly changed by her to make them a part of the Jumbo family. But in this way, Rank's existence becomes extremely strange, he is not Luth's lover, and he does not get the surname of "Treasure", but he holds a position that only important members of the Treasure family can get!
Ranke didn't care what others thought, all he cared about was the tasks assigned to him by the lord. The people of the Jumbo family had always acted arbitrarily, and he had been used to it for many years, but this time it was a bit excessive. These guys actually used the strongest "Treasure Death Guard" in Treasure City to fight privately, and also seriously injured two family members, forcing the other member to flee, and Ronke suddenly felt the urge to beat people.
"Lord of the City, Miss Duffy has ordered us to search for Miss Jenny throughout the cityβis that all right?" In the City Lord's Mansion, a tall female secretary reported to the City Lord Rank.
"Let her search!" Ronk shook his head helplessly, and casually agreed.
"Yes, Lord Castle!" The female secretary breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, and immediately hurriedly retreated.
"These bastards!" Ronke scolded unceremoniously before he politely shouted behind him, "Come out, Miss Jenny!" β
Jenny walked out of the room in embarrassment and politely called out to Rank, "Uncle Rank! β
"Are you getting better?" Ronk glanced at Jenny with concern, and then comforted: "Miss Jenny can recuperate with peace of mind, and I will arrange for the spaceship to let you leave as soon as possible!" β
"Thank you, Uncle Rank!" Jenny breathed a sigh of relief.
Others don't know that Jenny, as one of the heirs of the Jumbo family, knows a lot of secrets within the family. It seems that Rank, the lord of the city, is not a member of the Treasure family, but his status in the heart of his mother Luth is far better than that of ordinary lovers, and he is also one of the few subordinates who can entrust him with important responsibilities. And as the city lord of Treasure City, his words are naturally very weighty, and he can't tolerate Du Fei's crazy girl talking nonsense.
"The miners have all been arrested, what are Miss Jenny going to do?" Although Jenny was asking for help at this time, Ronke was used to keeping a low profile, asking Jenny for advice on what to do with the miners.
"Humph!" Jenny snorted coldly and said indifferently: "Kill them all!" β
"Since Miss Jenny thinks so, then I'll execute them as soon as the ship returns!" Ranke said with a blank face.
"......" Jenny looked at Rank's flat expression, and suddenly felt a trace of curiosity, so he asked, "If it were Uncle Rank, what would you do with this batch of miners?" β
"If it were me, I would take a group of old, weak, sick and disabled miners and kill them, and throw the others back into the mine, and then double the amount of tasks and squeeze out all their surplus value!" Ranke gave a bland account of his approach.
"Isn't that too cheap for those bastards?" Jenny asked with some understanding.
"Cheap them! Is that because Miss Jenny simply doesn't understand what they are really afraid of? A cruel look flashed across Rank's face, and he sneered, "For them, returning to the mine to prospect is more terrible than dying!" β
"Then let's do it the same way Uncle Rank!" Jenny was slightly stunned when she heard this, but at this time, her heart didn't care about those minions at all, and her heart was full of thoughts of leaving Jumbo and returning to Gemini.
"I'm afraid things are not as simple as I imagined!" Seeing that Jenny respected himself so much today, Ronke couldn't help but think a little more: "The other party has made so much effort to rescue these people, I'm afraid there will be follow-up plans next." Maybe we've fallen into each other's trap now! β
"How is it possible, aren't they trying to use these miners to confuse us?" Jenny thought about it for a moment and found that he couldn't guess what the other party was thinking. These miners were worthless in her eyes, and who would waste so much effort to save them?
"That's what I thought at first!" Ranke smiled wryly and said, "But then I checked the situation in the mine and found that it was empty. If the other party didn't have a purpose we didn't know about, maybe that guy was really a good guy! β
"That's right! If it was simply bait or trouble, there was really no need to save everyone. Jenny also thought deeply: "If you just want to save people, then you need a spaceship, right?" β
"Didn't we just send the ship over?" Ronk said playfully, "It's just that I really can't figure out how the other party can seize control of the spaceship and the rights of the star voyage, unless ......"
"Unless we help him!" Jenny also figured out the crux of the matter: "But how is this possible?" β
"yes!" Ronk sneered and said, "I want to see his methods!" β
"Lord of the Castle!" At this moment, the female secretary who had just left broke in in a panic and shouted nervously: "Miss Du Fei is leading someone to search the City Lord's Mansion!" β
"She's crazy, she actually dares to search the City Lord's Mansion!" Ronk was furious.
"She said that the lord of the city asked her to search for it, and said that Miss Jenny is here!" The female secretary hurriedly said.
"She really doesn't take me seriously!" Rank's eyes flashed with coldness, and he said to Jenny beside him, "Miss Jenny, you hide first, I'll deal with Duffy!" β
It was not surprising that Duffy could guess that Jenny was in the City Lord's Mansion, after all, this was the private leader of the Treasure Family, and there were not many people who dared to disobey the Treasure Family. So Jenny is looking for someone who can protect her and dare to fight against Duffy. But what Lunk didn't understand was that Duffy's self-confidence actually dared to face himself, a B-rank powerhouse. You must know that Jenny's status in the Jumbo family is higher than that of Duffy, and if she really fights, she can only help Jenny, no wonder she has the confidence to defeat herself and Jenny teaming up!
Moments after Jenny left, Duffy led a group of people to the hall of the City Lord's Mansion. When Ronke looked at the people behind Duffy, it was none other than the Treasure Guard, the strongest warrior in Treasure City. But what kind of method did Duffy use to make these treasure guards obey her orders, and not listen to the orders of Jenny's concubine?
"Uncle City Lord, hand over Sister Jenny - little Duffy really doesn't want to fight!" Duffy said pleadingly.
"Miss Duffy, why are you chasing Miss Jenny?" The city lord asked with a dark face.
"Uncle City Lord, Sister Jenny, she's a bad person!" Duffy said angrily, "In order to retrieve the lost Blood Energy Gem, she actually instructed the Treasure Death Guard to kill me, Sister Liv, and Father Geronte - it's so bad! β
"Yikes!" Ronke couldn't help but be secretly taken aback when he heard this, this was different from the version Jenny said, so he hurriedly asked, "What about Miss Liv and Mr. Geronte?" β
"Fortunately, I got new strength, and I finally saved Sister Liv and the two, and now I am preparing to bring Sister Jenny back to Gemini with me and let my mother do it!" Duffy explained in a wordy manner.
"Is Miss Jenny really trying to kill you?" Ranke hesitated.
"Of course!" Duffy nodded earnestly, and shouted loudly to the back, "Bring them up!" β
As soon as the words were finished, the Jewel Dead Guard walked in with the two of them, and it was indeed Liv and Geronte on the stretcher. It's just that at this time, the two guys are already dying, and they are almost dead!
"I knew that there was the best medical equipment in the City Lord's Mansion, so I brought Sister Liv and them here! Uncle City Lord wants to know the truth, just ask. Du Fei said confidently: "And there is also a monitoring system in the Earl's Palace, as long as the city lord's uncle tunes up the video and watches it, he will know if I am lying!" β
"......" Seeing Du Fei like this, the city lord felt that the other party was not lying. At least what is certain is that on the surface, this matter is definitely the fault of Jenny. As for what the truth is, honestly he doesn't care himself!
"Uncle City Lord, if you are still not at ease, then we can immediately contact Gemini's mother and let her distinguish between right and wrong!" Duffy made a proposal that Ranke couldn't refuse.
"Send Miss Liv and Mr. Geronte out of the first aid!" Ronk commanded helplessly.
The female secretary immediately led several Treasure Dead Guards and carried Liv and the two into the treatment room at the back. Rank, on the other hand, pondered whether to do what Duffy had said. In the end, he thought that his strength was as high as the B rank, and he was the strongest warrior in Treasure City, and it was basically impossible to suppress the two women with his own strength, so in the end, he nodded and agreed.
"Miss Duffy, you let the Jumbo Dead Guard leave the City Lord's Mansion first, and I'll bring Miss Jenny to confront you face to face!" Despite his absolute self-confidence, Ranke is still very cautious.
"No problem!" Duffy waved his hand and let all the Treasure Dead Guards leave.
Seeing that all the dead guards had left, and only himself and Duffy were left in the hall of the City Lord's Mansion, Ronke shouted to the back, "Miss Jenny, come out!" I'll deal with this matter fairly. β
There was silence behind the ...... hall, and there was no sound.
"Miss Jenny?" Ronke frowned unconsciously.
"Hehe, it seems that Sister Jenny can't trust the city lord's uncle, and ran away alone!" Duffy said sarcastically.
"How is that possible?" Ronk blushed and rushed into the back hall to find Jenny. Unfortunately, in the end, Rank's mobilization of all the people could not find any trace of Jenny, as if she had never been there at all.
"I've said a long time ago that this time it's Sister Jenny's fault. But Uncle City Lord, you don't believe me, how can you explain it to your mother now! Seeing that there was no clue after looking for him for a long time, Duffy glared at Ronke dissatisfied.
"Can I be blamed for this? You little bastards are doing all the same, who knows what you've done," Ronke scolded in his heart.
"Lord of the city, it's not good!" At this moment, the female secretary ran over in a hurry.
"......" Seeing the nervous appearance of the female secretary, Ronke couldn't help but shudder: "What happened to you this time?" β
"The slave ship that arrested the mine slaves has been hijacked!" The female secretary said in a panic: "As soon as those spaceships returned to the city, they were cut off from contact before they could unload those miners, and they headed directly for outer space!" β
"Without Star Airlines' permission, they can't run away!" Du Fei on the side sneered and said: "Notify the base of the Seventeenth Army and directly use the starry sky annihilation cannon to bomb them all!" β
"Do as Miss Duffy says!" Ranke said this, but there was a bad premonition in his heart.
After a while, the female secretary ran back with a surprised face, and stopped talking to Duffy and Rank, as if she didn't know how to speak.
"What happened?" Ranke asked angrily.
"The 17th Army base does not agree to open fire!" The female secretary whispered.
"Why?" Duffy was taken aback and asked suspiciously.
"Because those spaceships all have star navigation permits and belong to normal navigation, the base side refused the orders of Miss Duffy and the city lord!" The female secretary explained.
"Hmph, what about normal sailing!" When Duffy heard this, he immediately became angry. She shouted, "You immediately contact the Seventeenth Army again, and let them immediately fire and bomb those ships down for me!" β
"Calm down!" Ronk suddenly came to his senses at this time, and he calmly asked, "Is it because the Seventeenth Army refuses to carry out our orders because the people who signed the Star Airlines permit have higher authority than us?" β
"Yes!" The female secretary nodded and replied, "It's the permit signed by Miss Jenny, and now there is no one in the city with higher authority than her, so the base of the Seventeenth Army does not agree to attack!" β
"She's crazy!" Duffy exclaimed in shock.
"Yes, you're driving me crazy!" Ronke said secretly in his heart.
"Hey, hey, great!" Suddenly, Duffy laughed happily, and then walked directly to the communication room of the City Lord's Mansion. Ronke glanced at Duffy suspiciously, and immediately followed. A short time later, the three of them appeared in the communication room, and Duffy connected to the private line of the Earl's Court on the Gemini side. Jumbo spoke: "Mother, Sister Jenny released the miners of the cave without permission, and took them out of Jumbo Star ......"
"You're too ruthless, you're going to kill them all!" Rank, who was behind Duffy, shuddered involuntarily when he heard this, and had a new understanding of the little girl in front of him.
