"System, can I get Phoenix Blood under these circumstances?"
In the hotel room, Mislanda could not help asking.
[ Ding, no! ]
[ Only after a genuine relationship between a man and a woman occurs will this system grant Phoenix Blood. It will not be granted under any other circumstances! ]
"Alright!"
Mislanda felt somewhat disappointed.
If he could get a dose of Phoenix Blood now, Hancock would not only make a full recovery, but her strength would also improve further!
By then, what would Mislanda still be waiting for? He would just devour Hancock whole!
But an idea was just an idea, after all!
"Sigh, looks like now isn't the time!"
Mislanda stroked Hancock's hair, feeling a little regretful!
Suddenly, Mislanda thought of something and had Hancock stop.
"System, exchange a storage ring for me!"
[ No problem. One spatial ring, with one hundred cubic meters of space, costs one thousand Strongest Points. Would you like to exchange it? ]
"Exchange it!"
Looking at his 3,200 points, Mislanda did not hesitate.
Mislanda could now only obtain Strongest Points by defeating opponents above Star Glory, but where could he find people of that level so easily?
So he should spend when it was time to spend, especially when he was spending it on his own people!
The next second, a gem-studded ring appeared in Mislanda's hand.
It held a ruby, and the band was engraved with strange symbols!
"Here, Hancock. This is for you!"
Mislanda handed the ring to Hancock.
When she saw the ring, Hancock covered her mouth in disbelief.
Could this be the legendary... proposal?
Was she going to become Mislanda's wife!?
I'm not dreaming, am I?
For a moment, Hancock was enveloped by an overwhelming sense of happiness!
"Accept it. From now on, you're my woman. I promise you that you'll become the happiest woman in the world!"
"Mhm!"
Hancock accepted the ring and put it on her finger!
Night!
That's right, you weren't seeing things. It was nighttime.
The two of them had spent most of the day in the hotel room before finally coming out!
Hancock clung to Mislanda's arm, looking incredibly happy!
When they returned to Shakky's Rip-off Bar, Rayleigh, Shakky, and Hancock's two younger sisters were sitting at the table, ready to eat!
"Did buying clothes really take that long? What were you two doing?"
Rayleigh immediately asked.
Mislanda's bounty poster had just been issued, and Rayleigh could not help feeling worried!
"We didn't do much. We bought some clothes, had Hancock try them on, and then I treated Hancock to something to eat!"
At that, Hancock immediately buried her face against Mislanda's shoulder!
Shakky and Rayleigh were both stunned at the sight!
What was going on?
They had only been out for one afternoon, yet their relationship seemed to have progressed quite a bit!
"Wait!"
Suddenly, Shakky noticed something and quickly went over to Hancock.
She pulled Hancock's hand over and looked at the ruby ring!
"Oh my, who would've thought? Our Mislanda is quite the impatient one!"
"In such a short time, you've already won Hancock over!"
Hearing Shakky's words, Rayleigh looked over as well.
Then he could not help being surprised!
"Aunt Shakky, I... ah!"
Hancock felt like her cheeks were about to catch fire and hurriedly covered her face with both hands!
"Hehehe, why are you still embarrassed?"
"Come on, tell Aunt Shakky. Were you at the hotel just now? How far did things go?"
Shakky relentlessly pressed her!
Honestly, she was a little envious right now.
It had taken nearly ten years for her and Rayleigh to get together, yet Hancock had gotten together with Mislanda in less than a day!
Anyone would feel a little upset about that!
"Alright, Aunt Shakky, stop teasing Hancock!"
Mislanda interrupted them and pulled Hancock over to a seat!
He sat down, then had Hancock sit on his lap!
"It's nothing much. Hancock is my woman now. As long as everyone knows that, it's enough!"
At that, Shakky looked at Rayleigh with extreme dissatisfaction in her eyes!
It was as if she were saying, look at your son, then look at yourself. Why was the difference so huge?
If Rayleigh had been even half as proactive as Mislanda, she would not have had to wait so many years!
Feeling Shakky's gaze, Rayleigh shuddered!
He did not dare look at Shakky and instead looked at Mislanda.
"As long as you've made up your mind. Hancock is a very good girl, so don't let her down!"
The women of Amazon Lily were deeply devoted. One only had to look at Shakky to know that, and Rayleigh understood it well.
Once they set their hearts on someone, it was almost for life!
"Don't worry. I'm not like you, cowardly as a mouse!"
"You brat, who are you calling that?"
Rayleigh was a little unconvinced!
But Mislanda merely glanced at him with some disdain!
The meaning was obvious!
"Alright, enough of that. I just read the newspaper!"
Mislanda said.
"I really didn't expect the Marines to be so generous. They gave me a bounty of five hundred million right away. That was surprising!"
Five hundred million was already an extremely high bounty among pirates!
At the very least, Rayleigh had never seen someone under eighteen with a bounty exceeding one hundred million, much less five hundred million!
"You need to be careful from now on. I have no idea who has such a good memory that they still remembered you're my son!"
The newspaper had written it clearly: besides Fisher Tiger, the Fish-Man adventurer, the mastermind behind the slave liberation was also the son of Dark King Rayleigh!
After thinking it over, aside from that incident at Ohara, there had been no other exposure at all!
"It should be Aokiji. After all, he was the only one who witnessed my abilities back then!"
"Perhaps it was him!"
Aokiji was now an admiral candidate, and his strength should have reached the King level.
Mislanda, however, was only at the Star Glory level right now, so he was still no match for Aokiji in a one-on-one fight!
"By the way, Aunt Shakky, can you still contact anyone from Amazon Lily?"
"I have things to do next, so it won't be convenient to bring Hancock with me!"
Hancock was still not strong enough.
Mislanda would have no problem protecting himself from the World Government's pursuit alone, but it would be different with Hancock added to the equation!
Besides, Hancock had just escaped from prison. What she needed now was rest and recuperation.
He had already told Hancock this at the hotel.
Though she had been very unwilling, she would not disobey Mislanda's words!
"Amazon Lily..."
Thinking of her hometown, Shakky sighed.
She had not returned for a long time either.
"Leave it to me. Besides me, there's another elder from Amazon Lily living outside right now!"
"She told me not long ago that she wanted to return home and retire. Let her take Hancock and the other two back!"
