Chapter 172

Benji's words made Liliath frown slightly. She was about to say something when Annie, who was next to Benji, spoke up.

"Let's talk on the ship. It's just me and Benji." Annie patted Benji, hinting that they should not continue discussing the topic in public. "Anyway, the two of us can't do anything on your Golden Eagle spaceship. You don't have to worry about it."

The Golden Eagle spaceship was made of special materials and could only be damaged by people with Rank-12 combat effectiveness or above. It was a good place for negotiations.

"Brothers, go back and wait for news. Annie and I will definitely bring the boss back safely. "Benji shouted at his men." Carry those who haven't woken up back for treatment. "

Although the men were reluctant, they still chose to leave.

Benji's eyes dimmed slightly as he watched the Marauders leave dejectedly. This was the second time they had failed recently. This time, even the boss had been taken hostage. It could be said that they had lost completely. It was no wonder that everyone reacted this way.

After watching the other crew members leave the port, Benji and Annie followed Gu Ding and the others into the spaceship.

"Benji is the vice-captain. I'm the financial planner of the crew. My name is Annie." Annie introduced herself. She seemed much more rational than she had been during the battle.

"I've already offered a price when I was outside." Liliath turned her gaze from Benji to Annie.

"We don't have that much money." Annie did not look like she was lying. "Our crew had some financial problems after we were robbed by Kohld Blood. That's why we targeted your Golden Eagle. We don't want your Golden Eagle to exchange for our own spaceship. We want to sell it for money. "

"She's not lying." Neptune could easily tell that she was telling the truth from the bioelectricity in her body.

Liliath frowned slightly when she heard Neptune's judgment. If the other party really did not have money, then the deal was doomed to be a loss. "If you don't have money, then there's nothing to talk about. Although we won't sell him to the Federal Government, there should be people who want him if we sell him to other pirate crews. There might be people who are willing to pay a high price. "

Benji also knew that his crew had made a lot of enemies. If Gu Ding's crew really wanted to sell Yarrow, other crews might really want him. If that happened, Yarrow would probably be chained up with a star core collar and subjected to all sorts of humiliation. This was not something he wanted to see. "We really don't have 800 million. Even if we sell all our spaceships and other valuable things, we might not be able to gather that much. If your price is a little lower, there is still a possibility. We will try our best to think of a way. "

"How much money do you have?" Gu Ding asked curiously.

"We have less than 150 million left in our team's savings. If we include everyone's personal savings, we should be able to reach more than 200 million, but definitely not more than 250 million," Annie replied calmly.

At that moment, Neptune's voice was heard again. "I've checked their bank accounts. The situation is similar to what she said."

"Don't you have anything else of value?" Lilliath was still not satisfied.

"The spaceship is worth about 300 million, but we can't sell it. He also had a dagger that he had obtained from an ancient civilization ruin. Even if it was not a demigod item, it was worth at least a billion. However, Kohld Blood snatched it away. " Although Annie was reluctant to admit it, based on the team's current financial situation, she was not qualified to be a financial planner.

"Ask them if they found anything else in the ancient civilization ruin," Neptune reminded her.

"Did you get anything else from the ancient civilization ruin?" Neptune wanted her to ask the question that had been on his mind.

"Yes, but they weren't anything valuable. They weren't very useful to us." Annie did not hide anything. "That's why we sold them at the auction. We sold them for 1.1 billion Universe Credits, but Kohld Blood snatched away one billion. "

"Didn't you save the money in your bank account? Did he force you to transfer the money? "Lilliath was reluctant to believe Annie.

"They have a very powerful hacker who was able to find our bank account through our communicator code. Then, he cracked the code and transferred the money. The whole process took less than half an hour, and they transferred a total of one billion Universe Credits from our bank account. We only found out about it after the battle ended, "Anne gritted her teeth as she spoke of this matter.

"Let's do it this way. Gu Ding bought the Golden Eagle for 670 million. I'll lower it a little more to 600 million. That's my reserve price. If you still think that the price is too high, then there's no need for us to continue this discussion. " Lilliath lowered the price by 200 million. "600 million. Although it's a little challenging for you, I believe you can still raise it. I'll give you … three days. "

Benji and Annie's faces darkened when they heard Lilliath's reserve price. This price meant that their team would have to sell their spaceships …

"You can raise the money now. The sooner the better!" Lilliath even asked them to leave.

"Wait!" Benji struggled for a moment as if he was struggling with something in his heart. After a while, he said, "200 million and a treasure map to the ancient civilization ruin. Once you enter the ruin, you just need to take something out and bring it to the auction. It won't be difficult to sell it for 600 million Universe Credits. "

Lilliath looked at Gu Ding. Gu Ding nodded. He was not a greedy person. Moreover, he was a little worried about leaving Yarrow on his spaceship. No matter what, that guy was a Rank 11 Gene Body. He was a huge threat to everyone on the spaceship, including Gu Ding.

"Sure, but we'll verify the authenticity of the treasure map. If we find out that the treasure map you provided is fake, the consequences will be severe," Lilliath threatened.

"Don't worry, we won't do something like that," Benji said as he projected the treasure map.

After scanning it, Neptune came to a conclusion. "This treasure map is real, but he only sent out a part of it. It looks like only one-ninth of it."

"What about the rest?" Gu Ding asked after hearing Neptune's explanation.

"Return our boss to us and we'll send you the rest immediately. Also, Annie will transfer the money to you immediately. "Benji looked very vigilant.

Gu Ding grabbed Yarrow's collar and threw him in front of Benji.

Benji bent down and checked his body. When he found that Yarrow was fine, he was finally relieved. Then, he stood up and sent all nine copies of the map to Gu Ding's mailbox.

As promised, Annie transferred two hundred million Universe Credits to the account Gu Ding had specified.

After the transaction was completed, Benji and Annie quickly left the port with Yarrow, afraid that Gu Ding and his crew would go back on their word.

The onlookers outside watched as Benji and Annie left with Yarrow. They secretly speculated how much money they had spent to buy back their captain.

Gu Ding and the others did not realize how big of a sensation the battle had caused. They were still minding their own business, doing what they usually did after dinner.

Gu Ding was practicing his primary power proficiency, Lilliath was chatting with Ayesha, Biggie was looking at new recipes, and Robert was still tinkering with something in his room. He was always busy.

At this time, the video of the battle between Gu Ding's crew and the Marauders had spread across Border River. More than twenty people had filmed the battle from beginning to end, so it was clear from different angles.

These videos also attracted many comments on Skynet.

"This newbie Gu Ding seems to be really strong!"

"Everyone underestimated their crew. They thought the newbie was easy to bully, but they ended up kicking a hard iron plate."

"The Marauders aren't weak. Among all the Interstellar Pirates in Border River, they're definitely in the top eight. How did they get beaten so badly this time? "

Many other crew powerhouses in Border River had also seen these videos.

Throughout the entire process, they were most concerned about the battle between Gu Ding and Yarrow. Some of them even noticed something.

"Yarrow seems to have gotten weaker … Could he have been injured in the battle with Kohld Blood?"

"According to these videos, Gu Ding's defense is really strong. He's completely immune to Yarrow's attacks."

"Gu Ding's attacks are a little strange. Yarrow didn't seem to be hurt in the first few punches. It wasn't until the last punch that Yarrow's defense was completely broken … Could it be an ability to double his attack power? "

Many people began to analyze Gu Ding's special ability.

Meanwhile, some of Gu Ding's old friends in Border River had also seen these videos.

Bart had just made a name for himself in Border River. When he saw the videos, he thought his eyes were playing tricks on him.

In the video, Gu Ding collided with a Rank-11 Gene Body. At first, he was sent flying with a single blow. At the end, he rose and knocked out the other party with one punch. That was not all. Gu Ding even publicly asked the other party to pay for their boss' ransom. As for the final outcome of the negotiations, naturally, no outsider knew.

Bart was very surprised by Gu Ding's growth. After all, ten days ago, Gu Ding had to rely on a mech to barely deal with the Rank-10 Gene Body Emily. Now, Gu Ding could fight a Rank-11 Gene Body head-on without even using a mech and still win. In comparison, Bart's own progress was somewhat insignificant. What made him even more envious was that Gu Ding had recruited another Rank-10 Gene Body member with terrifying combat effectiveness.

Late at night, Gu Ding's crew members fell into a deep sleep. They had no idea how many people were suffering from insomnia because of the commotion they caused.
