Sarah

(He) Jiang Chuan was playing a game with (he) Kog'Maw, and (he) Jiang Chuan increasingly felt that (he) Kog'Maw was like a dog. Perhaps (he) Kog'Maw was originally a Void puppy, who could say.

Just as (he) was happily playing with (he) Kog'Maw, (she) Miss Fortune arrived.

(She) Sarah's bright red hair was incredibly eye-catching. (Her) beauty was as famous as (her) killing skills. One had to admit that (she) Sarah was a hot and sexy woman.

(She) Sarah looked at (he) Jiang Chuan and frowned, "Sir, did you steal my prey?"

(He) Jiang Chuan smiled without looking back, "I haven't taken it to the bounty cashier yet, have I?"

(She) Sarah walked over to the corpse of the Slut Ripper and said, "How did you deal with her? Her hands are gone!"

(He) Jiang Chuan stopped his little game with (he) Kog'Maw and turned back to her, saying, "With the method that can kill Gangplank."

(She) Sarah played with the gun in (her) hand. Within this distance, if (he) Jiang Chuan made any unusual move, she could kill (him) with one shot.

(She) Sarah looked at (he) Kog'Maw and said with disgust, "Your pet is so ugly and disgusting."

(He) Kog'Maw seemed to understand (she) Sarah, letting out an uneasy growl from (his) mouth.

(He) Jiang Chuan soothed (he) Kog'Maw, saying, "Oh oh oh, Miss Sarah, your words have made him very unhappy."

(She) Sarah looked at (he) Jiang Chuan and smiled, "You know me?"

(He) Jiang Chuan said indifferently, "Everyone in Bilgewater knows about the beautiful bounty hunter who kills without blinking recently."

(He) Jiang Chuan looked at the flintlock in (she) Sarah's hand and smiled, "Is this the gun that even Gangplank couldn't get? If that idiot had paid, there wouldn't have been so much trouble."

(She) Sarah did not let down her guard, looking at (he) Jiang Chuan and saying, "Pirates aren't all stingy, are they?"

(He) Jiang Chuan dispelled Kog'Maw's summon. He had eaten enough this time.

Looking at (she) Sarah, (he) smiled, "You can take her head to claim the reward."

(She) Sarah smiled, "What do you need, or rather, what do you need me to do?"

(He) Jiang Chuan clapped his hands and smiled, "I like dealing with smart people, it's easy."

(She) Sarah sat on the bed and smiled, "Idiots don't live long in Bilgewater."

(He) Jiang Chuan lit a cigar, took a puff, and spat it out, "This thing is like dried branches. I want to take down Gangplank with you."

(She) Sarah smiled, "Taking down Gangplank isn't something two people can accomplish."

(He) Jiang Chuan held up one finger and shook it, "No, no, no, my dear, my power is more than just one person. My abilities are enough to send the Abyssal Ship to the bottom of the sea a hundred times."

(She) Sarah burst into laughter, "Hahaha, you want to take down Gangplank by yourself? I think you're telling me a joke."

(He) Jiang Chuan smiled, "I know you won't believe me. Do you need me to show you? I think you should know what Gangplank did at the Serpent Blade Temple in Ionia. The Shadow Order won't let him go."

Sarah said disdainfully, "So what? Can you call people from the Kink of Shadows all the way from Ionia?"

Jiang Chuan snapped his fingers and chuckled mysteriously, "I wonder if Zed, the leader of the Kink of Shadows, can kill Gangplank."

With a flash of white light, a ninja wearing a mask sat cross-legged in front of Jiang Chuan. The blade in the ninja's hand showed that he was not someone to be trifled with.

Zed stood up and looked coldly at the two people in front of him through the mask's eyes, saying, "Tell me, where is this place, stranger."

Jiang Chuan said lightly, "Bilgewater, Gangplank's hometown. You wouldn't forget Gangplank, would you, Zed!"

Zed said in a hoarse voice, "I'm more interested in you than Gangplank. What did you do?"

Jiang Chuan shook his head, "I just summoned you here to let this beautiful Miss Sarah know that I have the ability to destroy Gangplank."

Sarah was caught off guard by Zed's sudden appearance. "Are you a Mage?"

Jiang Chuan chuckled, "No, I'm a Summoner. He's the Mage, isn't he, Zed?"

As soon as Jiang Chuan finished speaking, Zed's blade was at his throat, only five centimeters away. Yet, those five centimeters felt like a mountain, and no matter how Zed thrust, he couldn't advance an inch!

Jiang Chuan chuckled, "It's no big deal, Zed. No need to be so nervous. Your apprentice would laugh at you if he saw you like this."

The cold blade was already at Jiang Chuan's throat. Zed said coldly, "How do you know these things, Summoner?"

Jiang Chuan smiled dismissively, "I know more than you do yourself. Take your blade back."

Zed said coldly, "What if I don't?"

Jiang Chuan dispelled the summon and said, "You won't? Then goodbye. It's as if you can do anything to me."

Jiang Chuan smiled at Sarah and said, "Well, do you believe now that I have a way to deal with Gangplank?"

Sarah asked doubtfully, "What method do you have to control Zed?"

Jiang Chuan smiled, "Why would I control him? The three of us are in a cooperative relationship. Zed and you both want Gangplank dead. The enemy of my enemy is my friend."

Sarah put her gun back into its holster, "Then what about you? What is your goal?"

Jiang Chuan smiled, "My goal is just to help you defeat Gangplank."

Sarah didn't believe him. "It's that simple?"

"It's that simple."

Sarah said indifferently, "Alright."

Jiang Chuan packed up the corpse of the Slut Ripper and slung it over his shoulder. "Let's go collect the bounty. From now on, I'll be your subordinate."

Sarah said nonchalantly, "I won't give you a salary."

Jiang Chuan carried the corpse and said, "I think we need to pick up the pace. This corpse is a bit too heavy."

The two arrived at the bounty cashier and threw the Slut Ripper's corpse on the ground. Sarah smiled and said, "This is the Slut Ripper's corpse. You can inspect the goods."

The cashier inspected the corpse, confirmed it was the Slut Ripper, then tossed over a bag of Silver Serpent Coins and said indifferently, "This is your reward. Welcome back anytime."

Sarah led Jiang Chuan to an inconspicuous tavern in Rat Town. Upon entering, Sarah called out, "Boss, two bottles of good wine! I'm going upstairs to change."

Jiang Chuan sat in a chair, observing the people in the tavern. There were people telling stories for a drink, and others quietly watching the show. The noisy sounds, the mixed smells, Jiang Chuan didn't understand why Sarah wanted to come to this tavern. This tavern gave Jiang Chuan a terrible feeling!

A drunken burly man laughed, "Sarah brought back a Pretty Boy." He eyed Jiang Chuan as he laughed, as if contemplating how to toy with him.

Jiang Chuan said coldly, "I'll give you three seconds to disappear from my sight!" Jiang Chuan really disliked being looked at like a lab rat. It was simply the worst.

The burly man tugged at Jiang Chuan's clothes and laughed, "Yo yo yo, the poor Pretty Boy is angry. What are you going to do to me!"

Jiang Chuan took Roland's old Shotgun Firearm from his embrace and fired a shot at the burly man's hand.

"Ah! My hand! What the hell did you do, you damn bastard! What are you all standing around for!" The burly man rolled on the ground clutching his hand, still shouting curses.

Jiang Chuan pressed the gun to his forehead and said coldly, "Make another sound, and your head will need to relocate."

The burly man looked at Jiang Chuan with a pale face, his curses stuck in his throat.

Many people were stunned by Jiang Chuan's sudden shot. Sarah came down from upstairs and said, "This is my new little brother. What was your name again?"

Jiang Chuan said faintly, "Roland."
