In the alliance, the more they attack me, the stronger I become!

But Cheng Xiao seemed completely unaware.

Just as Sarah was wondering, the strange woman took off her hood.

A face so white that it could be described as "pale".

She is very beautiful, but the temperament revealed between her eyebrows makes people feel that she is very cunning and difficult to approach.

Sarah rubbed her eyes, trying to get a closer look at the woman's features.

But the next moment...

She actually saw a man's face.

That guy... is deformed?

From a woman to a man?

Chapter 114 Fire at me!

The fleet of Pirate King Gangplank slowly approached the shore under the watchful eyes of the crowd.

The North Shore Docks of Bilgewater welcomed its owner, and the Hook Gang and several other follower gangs also gathered on the dock and cheered.

Planck was threatened by Cheng Xiao and stood on the deck of the Abyss, with his arms open to the residents of the city.

Today's incident was a major event, and every Bilgewater resident knew about it. Everyone stopped what they were doing to gather and watch the Pirate King battle the Noxian fleet—though they didn't dare to approach rashly, standing some distance from the dock.

They witnessed the defeat of the Noxians and the fallen Noxian general Darius... They saw the mysterious man who defeated Darius board Gangplank's ship - he made a big fuss at first, but then calmed down after seeing Gangplank himself.

Everyone speculated that the mysterious man was probably Gangplank's subordinate—a top thug he had recruited during his absence from Bilgewater. He was very powerful, but also had a very bad temper.

Gangplank, who is already powerful, now has a monster that can easily crush an entire ship... The throne of the Pirate King will probably not change hands until Gangplank dies.

Some gangs that had been stirring during Gangplank's departure quieted down.

Everyone was looking at Planck.

Watching the figure slowly approach, then slowly walk down the dock.

For a moment, the entire North Shore was in an uproar.

But...some people went from being noisy to being quiet.

Graves is the most direct representative.

He looked at Drizzt, who had regained his freedom, with hatred gnashing his teeth yet feeling helpless. Then he looked at the mentally ill young man and the threatened Gangplank, and he felt that the world had inadvertently become strange - what had happened to the world during the ten years he had been in prison?

Graves realized that his revenge might fail... and even cost him his life. A deep sense of frustration almost knocked him down. He couldn't understand why the betrayer could have a good ending while his good brother who had persevered until the last moment had to die?

He couldn't figure it out. He could only stare at Drizzt fiercely.

It seemed as if his eyes could penetrate the beast's body like a bullet.

Until Trist turned around and happened to meet his eyes.

"You beast... I should have pulled the trigger the moment I saw you and killed you, you damn beast!" Graves cursed as soon as he opened his mouth.

But Drizzt seemed very calm.

Before, he had no way to escape and felt that he was going to die, so he didn't bother to say anything more, but now that he was free again, he felt a little pity for this poor fool.

He removed the stinky boots that the other person had spit out of his mouth, then slowly squatted down and said:

"Graves, whether you believe it or not... I really didn't betray you, nor did I abandon you. My people and I tried to save you—many times. But we failed every time, and they met with accidents one after another."

"Bullshit!" Graves cursed again. "Everyone knows that you, a beast, are best at running away. Tell me, why did they all get into trouble while you were still alive and well? Why were you the only one who was fine?"

Hearing this, Trist fell silent again.

After a moment, he ignored the other party's insults and questions and continued, "You know, the prison you are in is the most terrible prison in all of Bilgewater. It is extremely difficult to rescue people from there."

"Then tell me why I—"

"Why were you able to escape from prison alone again? Alas... Don't you understand, Graves? We have all been deceived."

"If there's ever a time when someone can deceive you, it's when you're thinking of betraying them!"

"I'm so glad you think so highly of me." Drizzt smiled helplessly. "Think about it, why was it that when you escaped from prison, I happened to receive a reward so high that I couldn't refuse it? Why did you happen to know my whereabouts from someone else?"

"That's because you, a beast, are greedy—"

"We're all just pawns." Drizzt interrupted Graves's curse words. "I can't get you out of that prison, you can't, no one cunning guy can... but an entire organization can. Like Gangplank's gang, like-"

Drizzt paused, then sighed. "Things like Gangplank's rival gangs, those who want Gangplank dead and don't care whether we live or die... Do you understand? Our grudges, whether we live or die, are of no consequence. We were all fooled."

"..." Graves finally calmed down and tried to think about these words with his simple brain.

But unfortunately, he couldn't figure it out - or rather, he still wanted to kill the gambler in front of him.

"Lady luck is not on our side this time, Graves."

Trist picked up his hat from the ground and put it back on, but the brim, deflated by the water, made him look less elegant.

"But...brother, you have to know that every time you get into trouble, I am always trying my best to help you solve the problem."

After saying that, Trist walked straight towards Cheng Xiao.

Graves was stunned for a moment, and a strange thought - a thought that he had suppressed before, came to his mind again.

He loudly demanded to know what the other party meant by this, but he received no answer.

"Come back here! Explain your situation clearly! You bastard! What the hell do you mean?!"

Trist waved his hand and stood beside Cheng Xiao.

The latter had already walked down the pier and randomly selected a lucky audience member.

"I'll give you five gold coins and get me a deck of cards in one minute."

The Iron Hook Gang member who took the money was in disbelief - five gold coins could be exchanged for a warehouse of playing cards, was there such a good thing?

He quickly looked at Planck who was standing not far away, and after getting the other party's approval, he hurried to get a deck of cards.

Cheng Xiao took the cards and handed them directly to Drizzt beside him. "These cards should be enough for you to kill me, right?"

"As long as you are not made of diamonds, sir." After getting the card, Trist immediately became calm and composed. Even though he looked very embarrassed, he regained his gentlemanly elegance.

As long as he has cards in his hand, he has the confidence to deal with any trouble.

"Well, you can start now." Cheng Xiao put his hands behind his back and gave one last reminder: "Remember to leave a card for yourself."

"Ok?"

"Everything here will be engulfed in artillery fire soon. You have to keep a card to escape... Well, you don't have to keep it. I will save you after I die anyway - our agreement."

"Artillery fire..." These two words confirmed Trist's guess.

He did not attack Cheng Xiao immediately, but glanced back first.

After a moment's silence, he said in a relieved tone, "Can our agreement... be changed, sir?"

"How do you want to change it?" Cheng Xiao did not refuse.

"I can use the cards to get away myself, you go and save that idiot."

Trist didn't mention any specific names or point to anyone, but Cheng Xiao understood what he meant.

"Okay." Cheng Xiao nodded in agreement.

To him, it didn't matter whether Graves lived or died; it didn't matter whether he saved him or not.

Besides... he could understand the brotherhood between the two.

That is not the gay love that some people on the blue planet understand, but a real and respectable brotherhood.

If Drizzt was willing to risk his own life to save his brother, then he wouldn't mind helping out.

"Thank you very much." Drizzt bowed slightly, a card flying up and down between his fingers, gradually emitting a blue magical light. "Well... but if it is possible, could you please take action now instead of waiting until you die?"

"...It's really troublesome to do business with you." Cheng Xiao raised his eyebrows, showing his displeasure.

Trist suddenly felt a terrible pressure.

But he still gritted his teeth and didn't back down.

Fortunately, Cheng Xiao did not make things difficult for him in the end and waved her hand to show her agreement.

"I hope Graves can understand you."

Cheng Xiao walked up to Graves again, broke the chain on the latter with a casual pull, and then grabbed the idiot amid a burst of noisy curses.

Finally, he threw it directly into the distant sea.

"Is that okay now?"

"Yes, sir." Trist finally let go of his last worry, and the blue card in his hand happened to be brewing to its peak.

A magical aura, not too strong but sharp enough, surged in the air.

Then he stabbed straight into Cheng Xiao's chest.

Snap! The moment the card touched the skin, a violent burst of magical power erupted.

This damage is higher than that of ordinary muskets.

Even though Cheng Xiao's body was extremely strong, he still bled under the attack of this card - but not much, and far from being fatal.

Trist immediately drew out a second card, and the enchantment speed was extremely fast, taking only three or four seconds.

At the same time, under Cheng Xiao's previous instructions, Gangplank began to preach to everyone, trying his best to publicize his majesty as the uncrowned king of Bilgewater.

Of course, he was also secretly looking for a way to save his life.

The "accidents" on Cheng Xiao and Trist's side also gave him hope - although he didn't know what happened, but Trist seemed to be beating up that weirdo, and that weirdo didn't fight back at all?

One card, two cards... eight cards, nine cards... the weirdo was already covered in blood. Could Trist really kill him?

Everything in front of him surprised Planck, but it did not affect his preparation to escape.

But what he didn't know was that while he was secretly watching what was happening with Cheng Xiao and Trist, there was also someone in the distance who was secretly watching him.

Sarah saw that Planck's speech had reached its climax and almost everyone in the city had gathered... She realized that it was time to take action.

Although she still hadn't figured out who the "woman who turned into a man" was, nor did she understand why Cheng Xiao was being beaten for nothing...but she knew Cheng Xiao's strength, and she also knew that the man wouldn't do anything stupid.

He must have his reasons for doing that.

And he also knew what he was going to do next, and he had already made all the preparations.

"Strange little brother... you're covered in blood. Are you going to ask me to give you some personal therapy when you come back?"

Sarah imagined the intimate scene that might happen soon, and she wasn't disgusted at all.

Firstly, she wished she could use this opportunity to keep Cheng Xiao by her side forever - with such a powerful helper, wouldn't she be able to do whatever she wants in Bilgewater in the future?

Secondly...that cute little brother is not only powerful, but also looks good. Maybe she will get the better of him then.

Thinking of this, Sarah was ready.

She gently shook the bell in her hand, and dozens of men guarding the cannon immediately entered the final standby state.

Now, Gangplank, Drizzt, Cheng Xiao, and Sarah, all four of them were waiting anxiously...

The one who broke the deadlock was a sailor who looked timid.

The same one Sarah had noticed earlier.

He walked silently behind Cheng Xiao and pulled out a silver dagger from his waist.

Although Cheng Xiao was looking forward to death at this time, the magical aura on the dagger still caught his attention.

He immediately turned around and grabbed the dagger that was stabbing at him with his hand.

The moment blood flowed from his palm, the man holding the dagger revealed a strange smile.

Cheng Xiao recognized this smile.

It can even be said that it is very familiar.

"You're still so cautious... and you still love to ruin your body."
