The Highest Bounty

Chapter 144 - Female Korazan Gorilla



Chapter 144 Female Korazan Gorilla

Inside the Golden Eagle, two Interstellar Pirates that had been imprisoned in the dungeon could be seen constantly looking down at the intelligent ring on their fingers. They were waiting for the time to reach midnight. The moment the number on their rings hit ’12’, all they heard was a soft click, and the shackles on their arms and legs came loose in an instant.

Even the star core collars that were around the necks of those ruthless people came undone, and they regained their freedom.

Some of them could not fathom what had happened. “Was there a malfunction in their electronic lock system?”

Just then, a short, bearded man waved at everyone. His name was Ralph and he had been an Interstellar Pirate for more than ten years. His bounty was at 8.3 hundred million Star Credits. He was quite popular with many friends, and he had a reputation within the community.

“Listen up, everyone. Gu Ding helped free us in hopes that we will help him with his night raid on the Army at the port. We will attack from both the inside and outside. Those on the outside have already started making their

are any of you who would like to take this opportunity to run away with your tail between your legs, I won’t stop you. However, are you really going to just forget about how the Army aggressively oppressed us for the past two days? I certainly won’t! I won’t talk too much, so those willing to give us their strength, follow me.”

Ralph pushed open the doors of the dungeon. They were able to escape so easily as Neptune had unlocked all the locks inside the Golden Eagle.

Ralph and his group bare-handedly got rid of several guards that they met along the way.

They were quickly spotted by members of the Army that were guarding the port as they rushed out of the Golden Eagle. After all, it was hard for them to avoid being noticed as they were a large group of people heading toward the same location.

Ralph and the others were not worried about being found out. They did not plan on running away anyway. From the very start, they had planned on facing the people from the Army head-on.

Gu Ding and his entourage also made a glorious appearance. In the face of drunkards lying all over the ground, as well as members of the Army who had jelly-like feet, Gu Ding’s group of more than two hundred people seemed almost invincible. The scene turned into a massacre and what was supposed to be a grand feast for the Army very quickly turned into a bloody banquet.

Emily, who was sprawled across the wine table, heard the commotion and turned her body around. She lifted her eyelids, and her mind, which previously had been numbed by alcohol, sobered up immediately. Unfolding right before her eyes was a scene that she could hardly believe. Those Interstellar Pirates were actually conducting a night raid on the port and were slaughtering her fellow Army members in a frenzy. She stood up, thoroughly expelling the alcohol in her body, and grabbed the silver-colored handgun that hung from her waist with her hand. She raised her right hand and aimed her gun at the head of the closest Interstellar Pirate next to her before pulling the trigger. Then, without stopping to look at what was the outcome, she locked onto her next target and opened fire again. Right after that, she moved on to the third person… She fired seven shots in the blink of an eye, disposing of several Interstellar Pirates that were in her sight. Shortly after, she leaped onto the roof of a spaceship and lifted her gun once again.

The gunshots had alerted Gu Ding and the others of Emily’s presence.

“That woman is a Rank 10 Gene Body, she’s also a gunner who’s really good at long-ranged attacks. Our attacks won’t work on her even if we attack from all sides. Our best bet is to have someone with extraordinary strength to restrict her,” Mi En voiced her opinion.

“I got it.” Gu Ding nodded his head. He knew Mi En was referring to Biggie. “Lili, Biggie, both of you go!”

Liliath reluctantly put on the spirit-enhancing metal hat and followed Biggie toward Emily’s location.

As a gunner, Emily had excellent eyesight. Therefore, she was able to spot two figures, one tall and one short, making their way toward her. It has to be said that she spotted them under the dark sky of the night. Nevertheless, she could not make out their faces clearly and could only roughly guess that the larger figure was Biggie. On the other hand, she was not too sure about the shorter figure. According to the information she had received, Biggie was the only one among the Interstellar Pirates at Great Divinity that was suspected to be a Rank 10 Gene Body. As for the others, they were Rank 8 Gene Bodies at most.

As the two figures got closer, Emily finally realized that the young girl who looked to be twelve or thirteen years old was actually Liliath, a member of Gu Ding’s crew like Biggie. Nevertheless, she could not comprehend the reason why Biggie had brought along a burden such as her with him.

Compared to Biggie, Liliath was actually much calmer. She carefully scrutinized Emily who was standing under the light. The fur on the woman’s body did not seem to match her age. Liliath’s gaze then shifted from the other’s face to her chest area. When Liliath saw the two perky mounts on her opponent’s chest, she grumbled, “What does a woman who can’t even get married need such big boobs for? Are they for decoration?”

Lilith’s words made Emily’s veins bulge. Instantly, she had the urge to blow up Liliath’s head with a single shot. Nevertheless, her female instincts steered her to retaliate verbally instead, “At least I’m not like a certain someone who only has a small, flat chest even at the age of fifteen. According to this big sister’s experience, someone like you won’t have much hope even at 150 years old.”

“Aunty, I think you’re getting old. You’re just looking for someone to chat with, aren’t you?” Liliath shot back, unwilling to be outdone even by a bit. She then turned around and paid Emily no heed.

Biggie also turned around and their eyes met for a moment. Emily did not know why but she

guys such as Biggie like young ones.”

“She’s just a female Korazan gorilla that likes throwing rocks. Kill her!” Liliath set the image in Biggie’s mind.

Nevertheless, Emily was not aware that Liliath was using hypnosis and only thought Liliath was insulting her through metaphors. The female Korazan gorilla was a giant, large-boobed mammal that had an ugly face and an explosive temper.

Emily refuted once again, “You’re an Ariat rib monkey!”

The Ariat rib monkey was a type of small-sized monkey that had a pair of enormous eyes, short limbs, and a chest area so skinny that its ribs were prominent. Appearance-wise, there was not much difference between the males and females of its kind when one looked at them from the front since both of them were flat-chested.

“Kill her!” Hearing herself being compared to such a creature, Liliath was outraged.

Biggie finally made a move as he put one hand on the handle of his saber. Without any warning, the saber was unsheathed, and a sharp, black-colored blade materialized out of thin air. Then, a giant, black-colored crescent wildly shot out toward Emily. Emily noticed that her opponent had attacked without any warning and was going all out right off the bat without the intention of testing her limits. Hence, Emily put up her guard.

Emily felt that the black blade was somewhat stronger than Sharp’s previous blade. Hence, she retreated immediately. When it came to close-ranged combat, she was no match for a swordsman. Only by putting some distance between herself and her opponent would she have an advantage. Nevertheless, the blade narrowed in on Emily at a high speed and quickly caught up to her. Left without a choice, Emily shot back with her gun, and three spiral energy-filled bullets flew out from the barrel of her gun. One after another, they clashed against her opponent’s blade. Finally, the attack finally stopped and the blade dissipated. Meanwhile, the bullets that had been shot were seen to have shattered into pieces.

Nevertheless, the next moment, Biggie was already right beside Emily as he swung his saber once again at her waist. Biggie had no intention of giving Emily a chance to catch her breath. Similar to before, Biggie’s black-colored blade cut through the air with overbearing power. However, this time, his attack was much swifter and fiercer than his last one.

Panic flashed in Emily’s eyes as she was not expecting such agility from Biggie’s attacks. It was to the point where she was barely getting away with her life. Even as a gunner, her opponent’s movements were definitely not any weaker than hers. She could not seem to increase the distance between them.

Emily gritted her teeth and backed off once again. While in mid-air, she raised her arm and pulled the trigger several times. Spiral energy-filled bullets shot out continuously from her gun, and they once again clashed with the surface of the black blade.

However, the blade did not vanish until it was right in front of Emily. Gu Ding had the video of Biggie’s battle playing this whole time and was paying attention to the situation of the battle. An Luo and the others saw that Biggie was the one with the upper hand in his battle against the general, and they were quite shocked at his combat

envious of Gu Ding for his luck to be able to get such a powerful member to join his crew.

In actual truth, Gu Ding was not worried about Biggie. What he was worried about was Liliath’s condition. Although the metal hat-like device made it possible for her spirit to increase by two hundred-fold, the increased power was not being taken from her body naturally but through technological means. Hence, Gu Ding could not help but be worried due to the divination from before.

“Don’t worry, she’ll be fine. If she starts overworking her spirit, I’ll remind her immediately. Let her control Biggie this time. After all, Biggie’s role is to restrict Emily. They just need to buy us some time.” Neptune noticed that Gu Ding was worried. “If Liliath can’t hold out, we’ll stop our operation. I’ll also notify the others to retreat together.”

“I understand.” Gu Ding nodded his head. “If she insists on overworking her spirit, let me know immediately. I’ll talk to her.”

“Mhm. If that happens, I’ll notify you as soon as possible,” Neptune answered. He knew that Liliath could be very persistent at times, and Gu Ding was the only one who would be able to talk some sense into her.

Back at the port, the night raid continued. Emily, who was the strongest person from the Army, had been restricted. All the Army members, excluding those that were on duty at their posts, were dead drunk. Even though they were large in number, they were no match for the Interstellar Pirates who were completely sober. Hence, they were easily slaughtered.

As for Emily, she was caught in a crisis. Biggie’s offensive power ferociously increased with each attack he performed. Not only did his powerful, black blade possess astonishing destructive power, but it also allowed him to attack from abnormal angles. Emily, who could not seem to increase the distance between them, was forced to take all his attacks head-on. She was only a gunner; no matter how great her close-combat skills were, there was no way she could be compared to Biggie. Within a few minutes, Emily’s body was covered in multiple wounds.

Biggie’s saber struck from an abnormal angle once again. The speed of his attacks was not affected by his large build in any way.

At such a close distance, all Emily could do was try and block the incoming attacks. Nevertheless, the impact of the attacks eventually caused her arm to be dislocated, leaving her with a fatal vulnerability.

Biggie noticed the opening and leaped forth, the tip of his saber aimed squarely at the left side of Emily’s chest. However, just as it was about to pierce through her, a powerful force clashed with the tip of his saber. That bout of force shook Emily and allowed her to withdraw from the battle.

Biggie took a step to his right and cast his gaze toward the person who had intercepted his attack. The person who had done so was not particularly tall. However, the serious expression on that person’s face could be seen slowly turning into a look of excitement.

Liliath’s eyes widened. She recognized the person. It was Sharp, and he had appeared in front of them without so much as a sign…
