Du Long's Wolfish Ambitions

When the massive Titan Warship docked on the Ilo Star, many people in the harbor turned their gazes towards it. Many had seen five-star grade spaceships before, but none were as large as this. Many were speculating about whose ship this was.

When Gu Ding and his group disembarked from the spaceship, many people were surprised because the team was so young.

The leader was naturally Gu Ding, with Tagore sitting on his right shoulder, his eyes slightly narrowed, looking like he was about to fall asleep. Blue, on the other hand, had found a better place. He was in the pocket on Gu Ding's left breast, his two front paws pawing at the edge of the pocket, craning his neck and looking around.

To Gu Ding's left and right were Liliath and Elsa. Although the two girls looked young, they were not weak in any way.

Dokter and Bigge stood on either side. Dokter was quite tall and looked like a young man in his early twenties. After receiving the Crimson Blood Beast's inheritance, his body became even stronger, especially after his tribulation; his aura became increasingly sharp. Bigge, on the other hand, looked like a burly, forty-year-old man. The two of them standing together gave off a somewhat bodyguard vibe.

Robert followed at the very back of the group. His height, even greater Bigge's, attracted a lot of attention.

"Is this a member of some powerful family?" Some people who didn't know Gu Ding's name couldn't help but ask.

This scene does resemble the outing of scions of wealthy families, with two young girls accompanying them on either side, two bodyguards, and a high-end, all-purpose home robot in the background.

Some people recognized Gu Ding, saying, "This is the Gu Ding Pirate Crew, the team that was wanted by the Federal Government Headquarters for hundreds of millions of Universe Crystal on the second day after entering the Universe Sea."

Ignoring the stares of the crowd, Gu Ding and his companions, guided by the Sea Emperor, headed straight for the Free Market.

But news of Gu Ding Team arriving on Ilo Star quickly spread.

On the Ilo Star, in a palace, a dark-skinned, burly man sat on the throne. To his left sat a tall, one-eyed man.

If the Sea Emperor noticed this place, he would definitely recognize him. That one-eyed man was Dulong, who had entered the Oul Ruins with Gu Ding and the others and ultimately ranked Du Long in Merit Points. Du Long's high Merit Points were due to his killing of many powerful humans and the plundering of their Merit Points.

"Mr. Brave, we've known each other for a while now. The Gu Ding Team has already arrived on Ilo Star. If we miss this opportunity, we may never have another chance." Du Long's tone was seductive.

"Du Long, I know that Gu Ding and his group possess enormous wealth, and their ancient civilization spaceship is worth a fortune. But you've gone to great lengths these past few days to persuade me to take action against Gu Ding and his group. I want to know, what benefits will you gain from attacking Gu Ding Team?" Brave turned to look at Du Long, his dark Bald Head gleaming faintly in the light.

"To be honest, I had some conflicts with the Gu Ding Team in the Oul Ruins, but they outnumbered me. I was all alone... Besides, given their current momentum, if they don't fail, I'm worried that I might have a hard time getting by in the Universe Sea in the future." Du Long said this while putting on a pitiful look.

Brave stared at Du Long for a long time, then waved to the two guards at the door, "Show him out!"

"Mr. Brave, what do you mean by this?" Du Long, of course, knew what it meant to see the guest out.

"While I certainly desire the wealth of the Gu Ding Team, I am unwilling to be used as a pawn without my consent. If you want me to take action, make your position clear. Otherwise, I will have to ask you to leave." Brave gestured for him to leave.

"Brave wasn't this smart before. Has he suddenly become enlightened?" Du Long wondered to himself, but said aloud, "Alright, I admit I have ulterior motives. I have a special secret technique that can steal other people's memories. I hope that Mr. Brave and your team can capture Gu Ding so I can find an opportunity to read his memories and learn the secret of his ability to fight across ranks. As for the wealth I plunder, I don't want a single penny."

"I never imagined you possessed such a secret technique..."

Hearing Brave's tone, Du Long knew that the other party had already set his sights on his secret technique, so he quickly said, "This secret technique is actually a powerful Curse Power, and the price of practicing it is extremely high, with a very high mortality rate. I paid the price of one of my eyes back then."

As he spoke, he removed the blindfold covering his left eye, revealing a withered hole without an eyeball. The marks around the eye socket looked like it had been burned, the remaining scars a horrifying sight. But from the Black Hole within the eye socket emanated an eerie and ominous aura.

Seeing this, Brave completely gave up the idea of seizing this secret technique and took the initiative to change the subject, "I can meet your request, but I also have a condition."

"Please speak." Du Long put his blindfold back on and nodded.

"I also want to know the secret behind how the Gu Ding Team can fight across ranks," Brave made his request. "I'm not greedy. As for the other secrets, you can keep them to yourself, and I won't ask. I just want to know the secret behind their ability to fight across ranks."

"Okay!" Du Long knew he had no choice, so he nodded and agreed to the other party's condition.

The reason he agreed so readily was that he still wasn't telling the truth, or at least not the whole truth. His Special Divine Power not only allowed him to read his opponent's memories, but also to seize his opponent's supernatural abilities and claim them as his own.

Meanwhile, Gu Ding and his friends were browsing the free market, completely unaware of what was about to happen.

But the Sea Emperor saw everything.

"Someone will come looking for trouble later," the Sea Emperor whispered in Gu Ding's ear.

"Who is it? That Brave?" Gu Ding guessed immediately, but he was also a little curious. "I don't recall ever offending this person. Why would he attack us?"

"He took action because that guy named Du Long kept stirring things up in his ear." The Sea Emperor also looked down on Du Long's behavior.

"Du Long? Isn't that the one with only one eye that we encountered in the Oul Ruins?" Gu Ding hadn't forgotten the other's name.

"That's right, it's him!" Sea Emperor gave an affirmative answer.

Just then, a group of people in uniform rushed towards Gu Ding and his group, blocking their way. "You're the Gu Ding Gu Ding Pirate Crew, right? Our boss invites you to the Imperial Palace for a chat."

With the Sea Emperor's reminder, Gu Ding naturally knew the other party's intentions, but he did not make a move. Instead, he calmly nodded and said, "Lead the way!"
