Chapter 108: Chapter 89: Son of the Black Whale

Spiritual Power emerged at the foot of the man in black gloves, as he lightly stepped onto the water and said:

"It wasn't those minor characters who leaked the information, but rather intelligence about Hunter operations and the Witch, and as a result, our Black Whale Group has lost an important officer."

Lil' Raven maintained his usual back-talking stance:

"That officer really was unlucky, he died a terrible, pitiful death. So, what does this have to do with us?"

It probably wouldn't be discovered... Lil' Raven focused on putting the Black Whale Blood into the glass bottle.

The man in black gloves stood up straight, his voice cold:

"Of course it concerns you, Lil' Raven."

"?"

The air had frozen solid in an instant.

The man in black gloves took out a whale ring from his pocket:

"An officer has died, and now, his place is yours, Lil' Raven.

This is Father Whale's command, now you too are a child of Father Whale, an officer of the Black Whale Group."

Lil' Raven gaped open-mouthed: "Me?"

The other two men present were also extremely shocked.

An officer of the Black Whale Group, also known as a child of Father Whale.

To become a child of Father Whale was extremely difficult.

It required not only outstanding contributions to the Black Whale Group but also the personal approval of Father Whale.

Like the Black-eyed Captain, he had been in the Black Whale Group for at least twenty years, evolving from a young Englishman abducted forcefully by a matron to the formidable middle-aged man he was now.

Even after having dedicated his entire youth to the Black Whale Group, the Black-eyed Captain was still just an ordinary captain, and had never received the recognition of Father Whale.

Becoming a child of Father Whale meant eligibility to access the secret information of the Black Whale Group and more resources.

In the future, it also opened up the possibility of promotion to the Fourth Rank.

In the eyes of others, the Fourth Rank was known as a Legend, whose power appeared godlike to ordinary people.

An ordinary person's endpoint, reaching the Third Rank, would consume half of their life savings.

In this era, where high-order cracks were completely monopolized by nobility.

The door to the Fourth Rank was a massive wall insurmountable to ordinary people.

Once one became a Fourth Rank, it meant eligibility to join the Shell Country's guilds and workshops, becoming someone who shaped rules and touched immortality.

"Why?"

Even though his subordinate had become an officer, the Black-eyed Captain felt a confluence of emotions, indescribable at this moment.

Lil' Raven also asked in disbelief, "Why? I haven't really done anything substantial. In the Hunter operation, we haven't even found the Deep Sea Hunter's treasure yet."

The eyes under the man in black gloves' mask shifted:

"Indeed, Raven, but it's not your fault, it's all the Black-eyed Captain's fault!"

"You have the ability to extract Black Whale Blood, and you even sent two research papers on Sea Beasts to Bei Country Royal University, including the origins of Sea Beasts and the classification of monster blood.

Having such a deep understanding of monsters is a talent, a hard to replicate talent.

Before you, no one could refine Black Whale Blood with a concentration over fifty percent."

"Just because I can extract Black Whale Blood with a concentration over fifty percent?"

Lil' Raven challenged.

"Yes, the Black Whale Blood in your hands is something that can change fate."

The man in black gloves handed her the Black Whale Ring symbolizing her new status:

"This is the raw gemstone of talent, Lil' Raven. From now on, you are like me, an officer of the Black Whale Group, and we will rise together to the crest of the waves."

Lil' Raven slowly accepted the ring.

The Black Whale Group somehow knew about her having sent papers to Bei Country Royal University.

If it weren't for the Raven mask, they would see a panicked bird.

Having been undercover for several years, she had actually mixed her way into becoming a core officer.

And possibly the youngest core officer in the Black Whale Group.

She was still such a naïve kid!

Lil' Raven touched her hair, knowing that, as an officer in the Black Whale Group, the salary and resources she received now far exceeded those provided by her undercover identity.

The man in black gloves clapped his hands:

"Congratulations, Lil' Raven. In the future, concerning the forbidden creation of Meat Cutting Bone Breaking, we will likely also need your help."

"To be able to participate in that event…"

The Black-eyed Captain felt a chill in his heart, unable to describe his feelings at that moment.

Human joys and sorrows do not coincide.

Initially, he had taken a notorious black doctor on board, who now actually qualified to step into the Domain of Legends.

And he had just recently lost his Black Blade, searching for it all over the Moonstone City Islands to no avail.

Once again, the image of a black-haired boy surfaced in his mind, a frail boy sick to the marrow, an unfortunate boy parasitized by a Sea Beast and sunk into the depths of the sea.

Missing him!

How wonderful it would be to see him again, how wonderful… The Black-eyed Captain sighed deeply.

The Black Glove paid no attention to the Black-eyed Captain's mood:

"By the way, Black-eyed Captain, don't worry anymore. Sooner or later, you too will qualify to become a son of the Whale Father.

For now, I have a new mission for you here."

The Black-eyed Captain looked curious, "A new mission?"

The Black Glove looked around Black Beard Land:

"Yes, according to the latest news from the Eye of Long Voyage, the place we are now, Black Beard Land, not only has Black Whale Blood but was also once the residence of a Witch."

The Black-eyed Captain cast aside his dejected expression, "A Witch's residence? Are you sure?"

"No mistake, although it's a low possibility, we can't rule out the chance of a Witch coming.

Your Sawshark will just be responsible for guarding here, and incidentally, checking if there are any new mutant creatures."

"Is there any compensation?"

The Black Glove coldly replied, "None."

The Black-eyed Captain's expression turned fierce, and he clenched his fists:

"Isn't this just letting us rot here! I still have to pay my crew."

The Black Glove spoke fiercely:

"Black-eyed Captain, don't think that you, having failed repeatedly, still have a say.

I'm telling you, don't think I don't know about the young man because of whom you lost the Black Blade!

You're not some pampered pretty boy kept by a granny.

If you want compensation, show some results!"

Each of the Black Glove's words, like a blade, struck the soft underbelly of the Black-eyed Captain.

Damn it! The Black-eyed Captain clenched his teeth hard and could only swallow his anger:

"Fine, but just so you know, I'm not good at locating people."

The Crow's gaze glanced briefly at the Black Beard, then quickly changed the subject:

"The possibility that a Witch would live here seems too low, doesn't it? The Witch couldn't have already arrived, could she?"

"What are you talking about, Crow…"

The Black Glove knew that the Crow was famously jinxed.

Just then, a sea breeze blew.

The Black Beard swayed slowly like reeds.

It was so quiet… The Black Glove became alert.

Besides the three of them as admirals, there should be other pirates nearby.

Moreover, they had just heard some strange noises.

"Gentlemen, something seems off, we might have encountered something strange again."

The Black Glove concentrated a pitch-black shadow at his fingertips, entwining like a small snake.

Gazing directly at this small snake made one feel cold, and stirred intense feelings of inferiority, hatred, and sadness.

He lightly tapped the surface of the water with his fingertips. Sёarᴄh the NôᴠeFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Shadow Wave, a type of explorative magic, could detect high-spirit entities within a hundred meters.

A jet-black wave of spiritual power spread from that spot, sweeping over the spiritual entities within a hundred meters.

"How is it?"

The Crow focused his gaze on the Black Beard, asking.

The Black Glove slowly stood up, spoke with a serious tone:

"The game is on, gentlemen, a Third Rank master with a Floral Appearance is approaching us."
