"...Then, once again, it was a pleasure doing business with you, Miss Black Cat."
The person before her was a famous slave trader in Roge City, named Tainan—and he was also Witch Miss's buyer this time.
This wasn't the first time Witch Miss had done similar business with him. All in all, in her identity as Miss Black Cat, the Great Pirate, she had dealt with Tainan sixteen or seventeen or eighteen or nineteen times by now!
Of course, Tainan wasn't the only slave trader in Roge City capable of swallowing an entire flagship from the Tian Nan family's merchant fleet... There was another reason she had come to him this time.
Besides running a thriving slave-trading business, this fellow also dealt in materials, and the quality was fairly reliable.

Tainan shook his head. "Miss Black Cat, I'm afraid you won't find even a single gram of Z-P alloy anywhere in Roge City right now. Someone has swept it all up."
The witch's gaze froze slightly, and she blurted out, "Who bought up all the Z-P alloy here in one go...? Don't tell me
