Chapter 136 - - 136 The Fox Borrows the Tiger’s Fierceness_1

—————✧✧✧✧—————

“What skill?” Duge asked.

“Bro, can you pull out the knife first? Otherwise, by the time I finish talking, I might be done for,” Vito said with difficulty, “Besides, I can’t beat you anyway.”

Duge pondered for a moment and then pulled out the curved knife.

Accompanied by a muffled grunt, blood spurting from the wound, Vito’s body violently shook, and he quickly spoke up, “Captain, I’ve never seen such beautiful knife work, swift and fast. When it went into my heart, I didn’t feel any pain at all, like a red-hot iron plunged into the snow. You’ve perfected a merciful blade technique…”

As he spoke, he sneakily observed Duge’s expression.

Seeing that Duge’s face remained inscrutably amused.

Vito finally fell into despair and, with no other choice, continued to awkwardly flatter in an attempt to heal his wounds.

When the other party isn’t fooled by the skill, talking like this is really embarrassing.

Why is he so unlucky?

Just bumping into someone turns out to be his nemesis.

…

Moments later.

Vito’s wound had completely healed, and looking at Duge, he revealed a sycophantic smile, “Captain, I have to say, your willpower is exceptionally strong, not affected by the rainbow cannonballs in the slightest.”

Already affected!

It’s just that by chance I have two keywords!

Duge muttered under his breath, asking, “Now, can you tell me what your skill is?”

Vito sighed and admitted honestly, “My first skill, Rainbow Cannonballs: When I flatter others with sycophantic language, they lower their guard and enter a euphoric state.”

More than euphoric, they’re virtually at your beck and call!

Duge complained, then asked, “And the second one?”

“The Fox Exploits the Tiger’s Might,” Vito said, “Using the prestige of my superiors to issue orders, all those governed by the superior will believe it without a doubt.”

Huh!

Duge was stunned.

That’s called The Fox Exploits the Tiger’s Might?

That’s clearly regency, usurping authority!

If he had only the second skill, conveying such orders might only work once, but combined with the first skill, one could safely take control of a team and become the actual leader of a certain team…

In his own little pirate crew, he could be the second-in-command.

Joining Mahamadu’s massive pirate crew, he could slowly work his way up to be the second-in-command as well.

Second only to one, above tens of thousands.

Easily planning the entire world, this is a keyword worthy of entering the top ten in the simulation field.

A divine skill!

Duge soon understood why Vito confidently claimed the second skill could help him.

His plans would only take effect once the rumors spread.

In such a world, relying on an innkeeper to disseminate information is too slow.

But with this guy’s cooperation…

The spreading rumors would quickly turn into a terrifying storm, sweeping across the entire world.

Just by sending him into any pirate crew like Mahamadu’s or Safra’s, he could even use a single order to plunge the whole world into chaos.

In Mahamadu’s name, even with a strange order like “seize the Ocean Horn,” if a pirate crew was sent out to attack others, Mahamadu’s subordinates would carry it out with conviction.

Once war starts.

Whether the affair is real or not, it becomes real.

This guy’s combined skills make him comparable to the grand eunuchs Zhao Gao, Zhang Rang, Liu Jin, and Wei Zhongxian!

Flattery is much more powerful than intrigue.

You could grasp the situation of the entire world when it is absolutely controllable…

…

After Vito had been touched by her, he was considered as her private property, so the chaos he caused and the fun he stirred up should count as her credit.

But.

Private property is different from loyalty. If she really released him to wreak havoc on the world, once this guy grew up, he might turn on his master…

To use or not to use?

Duge fell into deep thought.

“Captain, your keyword is chaos, right?” Vito asked cautiously.

“Hmm,” Duge glanced at him, “why didn’t you use your first skill to assassinate me?”

“Once I make a move, the target would wake up instantly,” Vito gave a dry laugh as he explained, “My attributes are not high right now. If I really attacked you and the others came to kill me together, I would be finished. Besides, my keyword isn’t violent. Unless the target is a simulation player, killing doesn’t benefit me at all.

Everyone has to know their place, right?

Just like you, Captain, aren’t you also trying your best to make this world more chaotic?

To be honest, you’ve perfectly used Sea Demon Selma to conceal the source of your power, you even fooled me.”

Like private property, when life is threatened, the effect of skills would be significantly weakened or even disappear.

Understanding his skill’s effects, Duge pondered for a moment, looked Vito up and down, and suddenly licked his lips, saying, “Take off your clothes.”

“Huh?” Vito was stunned for a moment, he looked at Duge, his face showed embarrassment, but still obediently began to take off his clothes.

Standing naked in front of Duge, he blushed and twisted his body stiffly. He took a deep breath, struggling one last time, and said, “Captain, I don’t know how you figured out I’m a woman. But I have to remind you, in this world, I’m a man, and moreover, quite dirty—I haven’t showered in three days…”

“I don’t care whether you’ve bathed or not. Go find a set of clean clothes in that chest to change into, wipe up the blood on the floor, and then, throw your old clothes into the sea.” Duge glanced at him, “You come into my room, your clothes covered in blood and you leave unhurt. What would others think? Should I tell them that you’ve made a deal with Selma too?”

Vito’s face turned red, realizing he had misunderstood.

He hurried over to the chest, found a set of clean clothes, and quickly put them on. Then he used his old clothes to wipe the bloodstains off the floor.

While wiping halfway, he suddenly looked up, excitedly asking, “Captain, does this mean you agree to cooperate with me?”

“Of course, my keyword is chaos, and your advanced skill can rapidly throw the entire world into chaos. Why wouldn’t I agree?” Duge shrugged and smiled, “However, you must not expose my identity and do anything that endangers me.”

To undress, to clean.

One action involved dignity, the other execution, and Vito completed both without any barriers, not even realizing it.

Then this person was truly worth using.

Previously,

he had ordered Barry and Wayne to fight each other.

And in the end, didn’t both of them obediently return to his ship?

Fortune favors the bold.

It’s just about carrying out an undercover mission; it shouldn’t threaten his life.

In theory, Vito, who had already been branded as a slave, would not betray her…

“Of course, I never betray my partners,” Vito said, “Captain, I’ve been through three simulations, coming out on top in each one. In every simulation, I’ve built my own team. We worked together perfectly, and every member achieved great results.”

“Hmm, so have I,” Duge laughed, “Anyway, we’re still drifting at sea, you’ve nowhere else to go. For the next few days, we’ll get to know each other better and see how the situation in the world unfolds. Then, I’ll find a way to send you to Mahamadu’s territory where you will stir up wars among several pirate kings. It would be best if you could also use those pirates to eliminate the other candidates. The world is too small with too many candidates around.”

“What a coincidence, that’s exactly what I was thinking too,” Vito stood up, excitedly saying, “Captain, my original plan was to become the second-in-command of a pirate group, to recruit more elites, use others’ strengths to fight and eventually find a way to get rid of them.

However, since the Captain wants to make the world more chaotic, I will definitely cooperate fully. After all, that aligns with both our interests. The more chaotic the world becomes, the greater the effect my keyword can have…”

…

That very night.

Vito stayed in Duge’s room until midnight, leaving with Paul’s clothes on.

Wayne saw it, Wendy saw it, William saw it too…

And so,

the next day, even if Vito didn’t utter those flattering words, Barry and the others didn’t make him work. Sometimes, when he passed by, they would even whistle at his rear end with a wink…
