Elder brother's garrison

Page 1042

The aura emanating from the black-clad ship girls following the middle-aged admiral was significantly stronger than that of the black-clad ship girls that Xiaobai and the others had encountered alongside President Jiang the previous night.

To give an example, if the black-clad ship girls we encountered last night were all level 60, then these ship girls are all level 90 or higher.

Furthermore, the ship types exude a very strong aura, and it appears that most of them are large ships.

—It seems so.

This admiral sent out all the weaker ship girls around him to protect President Jiang's transaction, while leaving all the powerful ship girls behind to protect his naval base.

Just as Xiaobai was observing these black-clad ship girls.

These black-clad ship girls were also observing the aura emanating from Xiaobai and the others.

The black-clad ship girls cast a barrage of gazes at Xiaobai and the others, but then, as if sinking into the ocean, there was no response whatsoever.

This reaction.

Generally, either the enemy is too powerful, or the enemy has almost no training, making it impossible to detect their presence.

Obviously.

The black-clad ship girls are referring to the latter type by default.

The black-clad ship girls silently withdrew their gazes.

Just as Xiaobai was silently observing the black-clad ship girls, the middle-aged male admiral who entered the waiting room chuckled and walked step by step toward Xiaobai.

"Hahaha, I'm so sorry, I was upstairs processing some documents and couldn't come to greet you right away. Sorry to keep you waiting." The middle-aged admiral apologized, but there was no remorse on his face. He stood on the ground not far from Xiaobai and then pointed to an empty seat in the waiting room. "Sit, sit, everyone, please sit."

"..." Xiaobai looked at the strange admiral with some confusion.

"Uh...you know us?" Dai asked with a puzzled look.

"Hmm? Of course we should get to know each other...but..." The middle-aged admiral's gaze lingered on Ooi for a moment, "May I ask this young lady's name..."

"Ooi." Ooi said his name without any hesitation.

“…Ooi…Oh.” The middle-aged admiral’s gaze lingered on Ooi for a moment, then he nodded, a knowing expression on his face. “Ooi from Fish City? I think I’ve heard your name before. You’re a traveling ship girl from Fish City, right? So the one next to you is Kitakami?”

"???" Ooi looked at the middle-aged admiral with a puzzled expression.

“I am Kitakami.” Kitakami, who was next to Oi, nodded.

"When I first heard about you two, it was through a rumor brought to me by Xiao Jiang. He said that a few traveling ship girls seemed to have come to Fish City a few years ago, but they were very well hidden. We didn't know what they looked like, only their names... I never expected that you two would be working under Xiao Jiang, hahaha..." The middle-aged admiral rambled on.

Daii and Kitakami turned their heads and looked at Xiaobai at the very back.

The three exchanged glances.

at last.

Suddenly I understood.

——I understand.

Xiao Bai finally understood why, since arriving at the Black Flame Garrison, his group had not only been unimpeded by anyone, but had also been welcomed by the garrison itself, to the point that the admiral had even personally received him.

Xiao Bai recalled his previous conversation with President Jiang, during which President Jiang mentioned that all his contact with the Black Flame Garrison was conducted offline, leaving no electronic traces.

If that's the case, then I guess after each transaction with Deep Sea Information, the money obtained is handed over to the Black Flame Garrison by President Jiang, right?

Judging from the scene before us...

It's highly likely that when President Jiang is transferring cash, he rarely comes to the Black Flame Garrison in person, but instead sends his subordinates to make the transaction.

The reason they were so enthusiastic was because the commander of the Black Flame Garrison thought of him as General Jiang's subordinate!

"Oh...I see." Ooi and Kitakami exchanged a glance and nodded with a sense of understanding.

"You've come from afar, how about you stay for a meal or two at my naval base? Ah, of course, we need to finish our business first." The middle-aged man chuckled, thinking he was being humorous, then patted his belly and looked at Xiaobai, who was surrounded by ship girls and seemed to have a sense of being the backbone of the group. "Uh... may I ask, did you bring the materials from this transaction with you?"

As the middle-aged admiral finished speaking, his gaze lingered on the hands of the ship girls and Shiro, and he was still somewhat puzzled when he did not find any combination locks or briefcases.

"Huh? Material... material..." Xiaobai was stunned for a moment. She subconsciously patted her waist and was about to speak.

"The goods for this trip are here." Iowa picked up where Xiaobai left off, took out a combination lock box containing Xiaobai's clothes from her ship equipment space, and placed it beside her. "Admiral, this is 90% of the total, 900,000."

"Oh? This one is also a ship girl?" The middle-aged admiral looked at Iowa with surprise as she took out a briefcase from her ship equipment space.

"I'm just a nobody ship girl, following along with Ooi and Kitakami-neechan," Iowa replied to the middle-aged admiral, pursing her lips without batting an eye.

"Hahaha, when did Xiao Jiang start collecting ship girl subordinates... Is he trying to become a freelance admiral? Maybe he's jealous of the ship girls I lent him, hahaha." The middle-aged admiral laughed.

Iowa turned her head, winked at Xiaobai, and smiled.

Iowa's eyes are very expressive, as if they can speak.

With just a glance at Iowa, Xiaobai seemed to be able to see in Iowa's eyes a question that seemed to say, "Since we're already here, why don't we just play along for a little while and try to get some honest information out of him? Maybe we'll make some unexpected discoveries."

"..." Xiaobai gave a bitter laugh.

Iowa's meaning was very clear.

Didn't we agree to just go all out today?

Why are we acting again...?

Xiao Bai rubbed his forehead, feeling a subtle, throbbing pain in his testicles.

"Come on, everyone, let's finish the usual routine first, then we'll talk later." The middle-aged admiral raised his hand, winked at the black-clad ship girl beside him, and said to Xiaobai and the others.

The black-clad ship girl silently stepped forward and reached out towards the briefcase in Iowa's hand.

Just a second before the black-clad ship girl touched the combination lock box.

Iowa suddenly pressed the combination lock button, avoiding the black-clad ship girl's touch.

"Hmm?" The middle-aged admiral frowned. "Friends, what's going on here...?"

"Please don't mind, we have a few small things to discuss, is that alright?" Iowa said with a smile.

"A trivial matter?" The middle-aged admiral withdrew his hand, a hint of doubt appearing in his eyes.

Iowa looked at Xiaobai with a smile.

Xiao Bai sighed, raised his head, and spoke to the middle-aged admiral.

"Uh... well... how should I put it?" Xiaobai hesitated for a moment, organized his thoughts, and tentatively spoke to the middle-aged admiral, "During this transaction, we encountered the world's number one mercenary group, and that mercenary group offered a lot of money and said they would take over all our deep-sea information... and asked us to contact you."

The reason Xiaobai used was the same reason he had given to President Jiang before.

However, that reason did not fool President Jiang at the time. Instead, it made President Jiang see through Xiao Bai's false identity, forcing Xiao Bai to use violence to make him submit.

at this time.

Although President Jiang has already been taken to the police station for questioning by Xiao Bai, since she came to this garrison as President Jiang's subordinate, using this reason again should be much more convincing, right?

However, before Xiaobai could finish speaking...

What awaited Xiaobai, however, was a burst of laughter that thoroughly amused him.

"Hahahahaha—" The middle-aged admiral burst into laughter for some reason after hearing Xiaobai's words. "He actually wants to monopolize all deep-sea intelligence? Hahahahaha—"

Xiaobai and the other ship girls didn't understand the middle-aged admiral's strange sense of humor for a moment. They just watched him laugh heartily by himself.

The entire waiting room.

Only the middle-aged admiral was laughing loudly, as if he had heard the most ridiculous joke in the world.

The echoes came one after another.

At last.

Seemingly finally sensing the slight awkwardness in the situation, the middle-aged admiral wiped away the two tears that had been brought up by laughter, let out two sighs, and finally let out another sigh.

"Oh my... this is hilarious." The middle-aged admiral muttered under his breath.

"...Excuse me, what's so funny about it?" Bei Shang asked, puzzled.

"Where's the joke? Hahaha... The joke is that he can't afford all my deep-sea information!" the middle-aged admiral laughed.

“But that mercenary group is very rich,” Xiaobai said.

"Hahaha... It's one thing for these two newly arrived traveling ship girls not to know, but how come you, Xiao Jiang's trusted subordinate, don't know either?" The middle-aged admiral raised his chin and revealed a disdainful smile. "It's not about money, but that there's no limit to the amount of information I have in the deep sea."

"Quantity limit?"

“Yes.” The middle-aged admiral spread his hands. “Although you ordinary people wouldn’t understand even if I explained it to you.”

Under the watchful eyes of Xiaobai and the others.

The middle-aged admiral took a proud, deep breath.

"but."

"All my deep-sea information was created by having my ship girls infuse the wreckage of deep-sea amphibious ships, imbued with deep-sea energy, into ordinary, safe waters!"

"In other words, my deep-sea information can be created indefinitely!"

"How could they possibly afford it, hahaha!!!"

Madoka Kaname: "Shut up!" (Starts running)

"And why are there so many mysterious figures with different motives around you?!"

Mami Tomoe: "Stop talking!" (Screams)

"All of this—is because of you, Ye Xiao. You will become the Demon King of Dawn, capable of both good and evil, and destroy everything!"

"Euler!!!"

Ye Xiao propelled Homura Akemi's body, and together with his Stand, knocked down the mocking assassin in front of him with a single punch.

"F*** you! It's absolutely strange and impossible for someone as kind, righteous, and handsome as me to become a demon king in the future!"

My friend's new book is climbing the charts, I'll add it to my favorites tonight to show my support. Thanks everyone!

Chapter 1350 You're beyond saving.

In the huge waiting room.

Before a large number of black-clad ship girls.

Under the watchful eyes of Xiaobai and the others.

He said it.

He said it out loud.

The middle-aged admiral said it with a proud look on his face.

The echoes of the middle-aged admiral's words seemed to still linger in the air.

The echo slowly faded away.

For a while.

Xiao Bai and the others, who had heard what the man said, froze on the spot, involuntarily stunned for a few seconds.

The entire waiting room became incredibly quiet.

“…Wh…what?”

Of all those present, Pompeii was the first to react.

Pompeii's face turned noticeably pale in an instant. She gasped, staring at the middle-aged admiral in disbelief, and asked in a trembling voice, "Tell me, where did all that deep-sea information come from???"

Pompeii's voice, affected by the speaker's urgency and extreme astonishment, involuntarily became somewhat high-pitched and trembling at this moment.

"Oh? Is this also a traveling ship girl from Fish City?"

The middle-aged admiral was drawn by Pompeii's voice. He lowered his hand and silently examined Pompeii from head to toe, revealing a rather confident smile. "The traveling ship girl from Fish City... she really amazes me. It makes me want to visit Fish City myself. That's right, I created all this deep-sea information."

Under the watchful eyes of Xiaobai and the others, the middle-aged admiral silently raised his hand.
