Extraordinary Rise: Starting Contract with the Silver Dragon Countess

Chapter 260 The Wronged Cohen—The Dangerous Beauty, Belmoody’s Torture!
If only we could find the Saint of the Star Clan and talk to her about cooperation.

As for the hatred between the human race and the Star Clan?
Cohen has no psychological burden about this.

Racial hatred is nothing more than an excuse for the uneven distribution of interests.

If the Star Tribe is willing, he can immediately reach a cooperation with them.

As for the criticism and hostility from outsiders... in three to five years, when the memories that Daphne sealed away loosen, Effiin, who possesses a complete divine nature, will immediately become the target of criticism from the entire continent.

At that time, what would it matter if we colluded with the Star Clan?

Cohen doesn't have any ridiculous idea that those who are not of the same race must have different hearts.

If we really talk about the difference in race, Windsardler is an elf, Asuna has dragon blood, not to mention that Princess Grace has the blood of the devil flowing in her body.

Cohen concealed his thoughts, looked at Baron Marin, and asked one last question:
“Write down for me the identities of the Star Tribe members active in the human continent that you know of.

Don't worry, I won't do anything bad to them. I have no prejudice against the Star Tribe!
Also, if you have the opportunity to meet your Saint in the future, please tell me that the King of Effiin is very interested in cooperating with the Star Tribe."

Marin widened his eyes and couldn't help but blurt out:
"Aren't you afraid of being accused of colluding with alien races?"

Cohen looked at Baron Marin strangely:
"What is an alien race?

You know me well, don't you know that there are several non-humans in my harem?"

Marin was stunned for a moment, his lips moved, and he said:

"The elves and dragons are different. They are friendly to you humans..."

Cohen said with an intriguing expression on his face:

"Then why don't I just turn you Xingmang people into a friendly race?
Are you Saints single? If you marry our Effiin, won't we become a friendly race?"

Baron Marin showed an angry look on his face, then he immediately closed his mouth, stopped talking, and buried his head in writing the list.

After writing the list, Cohen took it in his hand, looked at it, put it away, and said:

"Okay, that's all about your identity as a member of the Star Tribe.

Now let's get down to business. I came to see you today for something else!"

Baron Marin was startled, staring at Cohen and asked:
"You...you have something else to ask me?"

Cohen snapped his fingers and said:
"Of course, discovering your identity was just an accident. I came here today because of the Dark Tide Ghost Pirates!"

Cohen pointed at the captain who was still unconscious and said:
"Isn't this the main purpose of your coming here today?"

Baron Marin sighed and said:
"I believe that His Majesty already knows everything about the Southern Territory."

Cohen did not hide it and said:
"Yes, this captain explained it much more efficiently than you did, without much effort.

I will keep track of your Prince Charles's account first and settle it later.

First, tell me, what is your relationship with the core leadership of the Dark Tide Ghost Pirates? "

Baron Marin didn't know what Cohen was planning, so he could only reply honestly:

"I have been communicating with the Dark Tide Ghost Pirates as Prince Charles' representative.

I have met all three leaders of the Dark Tide Ghosts.

Why, Your Majesty still wants to take action against the Dark Tide Ghost?"

Cohen smiled faintly and said:
"Then you must have been to their main base and know the exact coordinates?"

Baron Marin looked at Cohen in astonishment and thought to himself, this King Effiin is really planning to attack the pirate group. I really don't know what is going on in this man's mind all day long.

As a king, not only does he run around outside every day, but why is he suddenly planning to attack a pirate group?

Baron Marin nodded:

"Yes, I've been there a few times."

"write down."

Baron Marin wrote down a coordinate and gave it to Cohen.

After Cohen took it and looked at it, he said to Marin:
"I'm going to offer you a new job. I wonder if Mr. Marin is willing to accept it?"

Baron Marin sighed:

"Do I have the right to say no?"

Cohen smiled:
"Obviously, not."

As he spoke, Cohen handed the other party a soul contract and said:

"From today on, you will be the Director of Intelligence at the Military Control Commission's Quesaung Station. Your direct superior is the station chief of Quesaung Station...Julian Singh!"

Baron Marin looked at Cohen in disbelief with deep shock on his face.

"Singer...Mr. Singh is actually your man?"

Cohen patted Baron Marin on the shoulder and did not answer his question. Instead, he reminded him:
"I hope you can cooperate with Stationmaster Julian in the future. Don't worry, my current target is only the Kingdom of Ceylon. I won't do anything to you, the Xingmang Clan.

You only need to provide me with information about the Kingdom of Ceylon."

Hearing this, the resistance on Baron Marin's face became much less.

……

In the war room of the Scarlet Island main base, Flint Blackfang described his plan to Cohen.

Behind him were three deputy commanders, the think tank Beckman, the vanguard general Babos and the young and energetic Will.

As the former Vice Admiral of the Imperial Royal Navy, Flint's combat command ability is unquestionable. After Cohen obtained the precise coordinates of the main base of the Dark Tide Ghost Pirates, Flint began to formulate a combat plan.

Today is the time to discuss the details with everyone.

Of course, Cohen and Flint have not yet announced the specific target of the operation to the three. They only mentioned that it is an ancient ruin somewhere in the sea, where some pirates from a small force are guarding it.

Beckman and the other two were a little confused when they saw Flint talking in front of the battle map and stopping from time to time to ask Cohen for his opinion.

In just a few days, Flint's attitude towards Cohen took a 180-degree turn.

After Flint finished speaking, the three of them looked a little strange.

Most of it was because of the action plan Flint had just finished talking about.

Beckman was the first to say:
"Master Captain, Boss Flint, I don't know how big this so-called treasure is, but isn't it a bit too risky to move our Scarlet Island main base to conduct the battle?

Can't we send a few more fleets to attack from the outside?"

The core of Flint's combat plan is to take advantage of the cross-space teleportation feature of the Scarlet Island main base and teleport directly to the vicinity of the target point to attack.

This plan was a little unbelievable to Beckman and the other two.

In history, the Scarlet Island main base has carried out three long-distance teleportations, each time for strategic transfer.

This is the first time we have taken the initiative to attack.

Flint replied in a deep voice:
"The enemy's forces are also quite strong. If we start our sweep from the periphery, it will easily attract the attention of the remaining large pirate groups.

Directly moving the main base to attack is the most effective and quickest method."

Babos asked:
"How important is this treasure? Is it worth spending such a huge price to obtain it?

Every time we move the main base, we consume a huge amount of resources, and the group's inventory doesn't seem to be very high."

When mentioning this topic, Cohen said:
"I can personally bear half of the resource loss."

When they heard this, they were shocked and became more curious about Cohen's true identity.

You know, the resources consumed are not a small amount, and the team leader can actually bear half of it personally. Could he be the heir of some big chaebol family?

Or maybe he is from the Pale Wings?
Everyone concealed their thoughts and looked at Cohen and Flint, who had obviously made up their minds, and it was not easy to offer any other opinions.

Cohen finally said:
"Please prepare well when you return. This will most likely be a fierce battle, but as long as we can successfully capture this treasure, the Scarlet Plunderer will experience a qualitative leap.

I can tell you clearly that the day when we dominate the coastal waters of the northwest continent is not far away!"

Upon hearing this, the three deputy captains looked at Flint and found that the boss also had a serious look on his face, which made them feel more confident.

At this time, Cohen also took out the "Scarlet Skull Flag" passed down from generation to generation by the Scarlet Plunderers.

Seeing this weapon, everyone's eyes showed envy.

With just one weapon, the combat effectiveness of three thousand pirates can be enhanced to the "conventional level". This is definitely the artifact that every pirate dreams of.

Cohen handed the flag to Beckman in front of everyone and said:

“I’m not good at naval warfare, so naturally, things should be handed over to people who know how to use them.

Flint has another mission, so this flag will be temporarily given to Deputy Captain Beckman for use.

From now on, your contributions will be counted annually, and based on your contribution, you will be given the right to use this flag for one year."

After hearing what Cohen said, everyone, including Flint, was shocked.

Cohen actually generously shared the weapon that symbolized the leader's power and made it available for use. Several people couldn't help but feel a sense of identification with Cohen.

After Flint handed the specific combat arrangements to the three deputy captains, the three of them left and began to mobilize the pirates under their command to prepare for war.

Especially Beckman, he also has to prepare for the space teleportation of the Scarlet Island main base. This is a huge project and it cannot be completed without ten days or half a month.

Only Cohen and the other man were left in the operations room.

Flint said in a deep voice:
"They were here just now. For the sake of confidentiality, I didn't mention some things. Now there is a key issue that needs to be resolved."

Cohen motioned for Flint to speak directly.

Flint said slowly:
"The news that we have captured the Dark Tide Ghost Pirates' headquarters must not be leaked.

At least it can't be leaked before we get the psionic core and move the Scarlet Island main base for the second time.

Otherwise, it would easily attract the attention of other pirate groups, and the Dark Tide Ghost's forces stationed outside would also come back to rescue, and then things would be out of control.

The Dark Tide Ghost Pirates are on par with us in strength, so a protracted war wouldn't be worth it. "Cohen nodded in agreement,"
"You're right. According to my estimation, it will take us at least a month to obtain the psionic core.

There is also a Sirens tribe guarding the area, so the news must be kept secret for a month."

Flint's expression darkened slightly as he said:

“If that were the case, it would be even more difficult.

Everything else is easy to deal with, except for David Moss, the leader of the Dark Tide Ghost Pirates. He is a Legendary, and he must be eliminated."

Killing a legendary, at least for the previous Scarlet Plunderer, was not realistic.

It was also because of the existence of Mr. Modow that Flint felt that this plan was feasible.

Cohen frowned slightly, and after a moment of silence, he said:
"I see. No problem."

Flint looked at Cohen in surprise. In order to completely destroy a legendary, at least three legends were needed.

Otherwise, if a legendary person tries to escape at all costs, no one can stop him.

Seeing Cohen's confidence, Flint stopped dwelling on the topic and continued:

"If you, Captain, are confident that you can kill the leader of the Dark Tide Ghost Pirates, then the rest will be easy.

Pirates have always believed in the truth that fists are the most powerful. For the middle and lower levels of the pirate group, it is not too difficult to get them to change sides as long as they are paid enough.

As for the rest of the hardliners, just kill them.

If everything goes well, the news of our capture of the Dark Tide Ghost Pirates' headquarters won't leak out in a short period of time."

Cohen said:

"The time is set for late at night ten days from now, and all actions will be under your command.

Mr. Modo and I will arrive at their base camp first and ascertain their defenses for you. Please pay close attention to the information on the communication stone."

Flint nodded, then suddenly thought of something and asked:

"Also, communication is important. We need to ensure that the other party cannot immediately transmit information when under attack."

Cohen waved his hand and said:

"Don't worry about that. I'll take care of it. Just make sure no one leaves the battlefield alive."

Seeing Cohen's confidence, Flint stopped talking, and his voice became more mysterious:

"Master Captain, if this time it really goes as you said, then from now on, you will be the undisputed leader of the Scarlet Reavers!"

……

The question raised by Flint is very crucial. In order to ensure that the secret is not leaked, the legendary leader of the Dark Tide Ghost must be killed.

With Mr. Modo's strength, teaming up with Flint, it would be no problem to deal with a low-level legendary, and even seriously injuring him would be easy.

But after all, the other party has been operating in the Endless Sea for many years, and no one knows what life-saving trump cards he has in his hand. If he slips away without you paying attention, all your efforts will be in vain.

After much deliberation, Cohen still felt that it would be safer to find another legendary helper.

Who should I go to?

If I look for a legendary person in Effiin, it will be easy for Flint and others to find out my identity. Now is not the time to reveal my true identity to them.

Cohen fell into deep thought and soon thought of a suitable person.

Cohen took out the communication stone and contacted an old friend who was far away in the "Lost Land".

The Lost Land, the Mysterious Island, the top floor of the Wizard Tower.

The cursed witch Belmodi Wynyard discovered that the long-silent communication stone suddenly became sensitive.

There is only one person in the entire continent who can contact this communication stone.

Sure enough, soon, a familiar male voice sounded over there:

"Mr. Witch, are you free?"

Hearing Cohen's voice, Belmoody immediately recalled the blushing and heart-pounding "gifts" that Cohen had given her before leaving!
Suddenly, he was furious and replied coldly:
"I have something to say!"

Hearing Belmodi's cold tone, Cohen was a little confused. The witch seemed to be in a bad mood.

However, this matter was of great importance after all, so he still gritted his teeth and told Belmoody about it.

After hearing this, Belmodi complained in his heart, wondering why he should just be a king and go to the Endless Sea to be a pirate leader.

What a natural troublemaker.

She could hear from Cohen's tone that he took the matter seriously. Although she was annoyed by his actions, she did not refuse.

Not to mention the relationship between him and his sister Rosalina, Cohen's current status and strength alone are enough for her to take the cooperative relationship between the two seriously.

But agreeing to help is one thing, but teasing me last time is another.

Since I have to go there, I might as well settle the score with him face to face!
Her Majesty the Witch acted extremely quickly. Three days later, Cohen received the location sent by Her Majesty the Witch, and she also stated that only Cohen was allowed to see her.

Cohen was a little puzzled as to why the Witch Lady didn't come directly to the Scarlet Island base, but instead went outside to meet him alone?
Could it be because of Rosalina's matter, or what Mavis said to her?

However, since the beauty took the initiative to invite him, Cohen naturally had no reason to refuse and went to the appointment alone.

The place Belmodi agreed to meet was on a deserted island not far from the main base of Scarlet Island. As he stepped onto the beach, the shell fragments under his feet suddenly began to resonate.

The salty sea breeze suddenly stagnated, and he couldn't help but look up. Under the moonlight, a stunning figure appeared—

Belmodi lazily raised her waist, and the sexually charged movement caused the hem of her dark purple robe to split, revealing her porcelain-white thighs.

The purple runes winding up from the roots burned with an eerie glow on the fair skin.

The body presents a perfect proportion that defies nature - the waist is narrowed like the diameter of an hourglass, but explodes into a breathtaking arc at the hips.

The purple robe was supported by the fullness of her breasts, forming wavy folds, which rose and fell with her breathing, creating star-like shimmering patterns.

Her face was still shrouded in mist, but from the exposed plump red lips and fair chin, one could imagine what a charming face hidden beneath the mist.

Before, Cohen always thought that among the few people, the oldest Princess Grace was the model of a mature woman. But after seeing Belmoody fully releasing her charm tonight, he was surprised to find that Her Majesty the Witch was the well-deserved top-notch mature woman.

Suddenly, Cohen felt the fire of desire in his chest erupt uncontrollably.

He was slightly surprised. It didn't make sense. His willpower attribute was already maxed out. Normal charm was useless to him... unless the Witch was actively seducing him.

Cohen was even more puzzled. Why would the Lord of Sequences, the Cursed Witch, who was always dignified and arrogant, suddenly play such a joke on him?

Almost in an instant, Belmodi appeared in front of Cohen, and Cohen could almost smell the faint body fragrance coming from the witch.

Finally, a lazy and hoarse voice sounded:

"Does it look good?"

Cohen was stunned, and before he could answer, the right shoulder of Belmoody's robe suddenly slipped off, revealing a breathtakingly tender white.

Cohen stared at the moving curve reflexively, but then a strange rune appeared on the surface of the witch's skin and suddenly exploded.

Cohen's optic nerves began to twitch uncontrollably, and then his expression suddenly became stiff and dull.

Under the cover of fog, a blush appeared on Belmodi's beautiful face. She put on her robe again, raised her hand to put her hair behind her, and pressed her slender fingers on Cohen's warm chest.

The red lips moved slightly, and the voice was cold and solemn:
"Who bought those clothes you gave me before you left?"

Cohen was stunned. He didn't expect that Belmoody would go to such great lengths to charm him and ask such a question.

When he saw Belmodi's exposed thighs, he realized that the other party was preparing to cast a charm on him and control him.

But he was not worried because he had already reached the maximum level of willpower. As long as he was willing to resist, Belmodi's charm would be useless to him.

He didn't know why Belmodi suddenly did this, so he pretended to be controlled by her, wanting to see what she was doing.

However, I didn't expect that after the other party controlled himself, he would ask this question.

Cohen's face was still dull, and his voice was very mechanical:

"I bought it."

Belmodi clenched her hands tightly, and her voice was filled with a subtle anger:

"You've already deceived Rosalina and provoked Mephis!
Are you planning to take advantage of me again now?

What on earth do those clothes you bought mean?"

Cohen was stunned, really stunned.

He didn't understand why Belmodi was so angry. He remembered that it was normal for those clothes to be there. It was just a few pieces of clothes for her. How could it be considered as having intentions towards her?

Cohen continued:

"I have no intention of targeting Your Excellency the Witch. Isn't it normal to give some clothes to an elder?"

Belmodi was furious. Since the other party was also under control and would not have any memory of this in the future, he simply asked directly:
“Giving clothes is normal, but what kind of clothes did you give?
Suspender skirts, deep V evening gowns, riveted nude high heels, various styles of stockings, and even sexy lingerie!
Are these the clothes you should give to your elders?!"

All I can say is that the clothes Cohen gave to Belmoody were so impressive that the Witch Lady remembered every single one of them clearly.

Cohen's eyes widened in disbelief, and then he immediately realized something, and a thousand alpaca horses roared in his heart.

Damn it, I got ripped off.

He now finally understood why Belmodi was so abnormal today!

He remembered that when he was preparing a gift for Belmoody, he asked Grace's cousin, the executive of the Flaming Red Lips Trading Company, to help prepare it.

This executive is a relative of Grace and is Grace's cousin. It was she who arranged for Cohen to become the personal secretary of the chairman of the "Flaming Lips" Trading Company in the Kingdom of Ceylon.

When Cohen explained this to her, he only said that it was for a slightly more mature woman, but he didn't say who it was specifically.

The executive must have thought he was referring to Grace.

Needless to say, because he had become Grace's personal secretary, this executive most likely considered himself Grace's lover, and this gift was for his lover...

At this moment, Cohen just wanted to cry out that it was unfair!
