Flashing a brilliant smile at Boot, Clover calmly said to him, "So, you refuse? Not that I was expecting otherwise. I just wanted to see how you would react. As expected, you didn't disappoint me."
Clover spoke calmly and without any hurry. He was clearly not angry at Boot's rejection. But it was also difficult to tell how he really felt about it.
Anyway, Boot just had a bad feeling that Clover was not just going to end things like this.
Just as Boot expected in the next moment, Clover suddenly shot a playful look at boot and asked mischievously.
"So what if you refused to accept my offer? Do you think I won't be able to get your treasures if you don't tell me their location? Don't forget, you're not the only member of your pirate gang still surviving. There are still quite a few of them left who would probably be more than willing to accept my kind offer in your stead."
As Clover spoke, he gestured towards the other pirates that he had kept alive
Clover was having a headache. This matter was already becoming very troublesome to handle. The troublesome part wasn't being unable to find the pirate's treasures. It was the fact that Boot was being too disgusting right now.Truly, what they said about a man being unrestrained and unafraid of anybody and anything when he was about to die was incredibly correct. Right now, Boot was the perfect example of somebody who was not afraid of anything since he was about to die.Facing the prospects of death, Boot truly lost his inhibitions and was determined to offend a powerhouse like Clover. Something like this. There was nothing that Clover could do about it.No matter what actions Clover took, it would likely please boot very much. If Clover was actually angered by Boot to the extent that he was forced to slap him to death, then Boot would be happy with that outcome because he wouldn't have to worry about his corpse being eaten by a wondering space beast or being us
The method Clover mentioned dealing with Boot naturally involved using the obelisk. The obelisk was a top-tier soul artifact that could be used to absorb and refine the souls and life-force of living beings before purifying it for further use.This artifact naturally had a suppressive effect on the souls of living beings and it was especially effective when used against undead creatures. That was why when clover revealed a trace of the obelisks aura from his body, Boot's had felt a terrible feeling from his soul and he had been greatly frightened.Unfortunately, although the obelisk had a natural advantage over souls, it could be used to interrogate the souls that were captured in it, and it wasn't an artifact that specialized in torturing souls. Its only function was to refine and purify souls so other living beings could absorb them in order to increase the strength of their own souls and lengthen their life spans without any side effects.If Clover intended t
Clover ignored Boot's ramblings and directly asked Ktulu if what he said was true. Not daring to delay, Ktulu quickly answered, "Everything I say is the truth and nothing but the truth. If I lie, may my soul forever wander the void, unable to find rest!"Ktulu swore an oath that he was telling the truth. He felt that this was the only way to assure Clover of his sincerity.Clover ignored the oath Ktulu made. He pointed at boot who was still rambling like a madman and asked once again, "You say you know the location of the treasures and he says that there is nobody except him who knows the location of the treasures. Who am I supposed among the two of you now?""Do you think swearing on your soul is enough to convince me that you're telling the truth? Come to think of it, you're very suspicious too. Why didn't you come out when I asked all of you previously and it was only when I was about to kill you all that you decided to show up? Do you think I am easy to fool
Clover was, of course, only scaring Ktulu, and he didn't have the intention of killing him. At least not anymore and not now. If it turns out that Ktulu was just lying to save his own skin, it was not too late for Clover to kill him then.Looking at the pitiful Ktulu that was cutting a sorry figure and begging to be spare, Clover finally put away the ball of energy in his hand to calm him down. It would be a pity if this person broke down due to fear before he could tell him the location of the treasures."Alright, you can stop begging now. I have decided to temporarily spare you, so you'd better cherish this kindness and obediently tell me the location of the treasure. Depending on your answer, if I like what I hear, I might just allow you to follow me from now on. That means I won't have to kill you, and not only that, if you perform well for me in the future, I will not mistreat you. Your life would definitely be better than it is now as a lowly pirate. do I make my
Clover took a very good look at Ktulu for the first time and he reevaluated his previous expression of him in his mind before.How was this a boorish pirate that knew nothing but killing and plundering?Ktulu was obviously a skilled person who could definitely make an honest living with his ability. How did he end up like this in the first place?Clover was puzzled, but he put that question aside for the moment. Instead, he quickly praised Ktulu for a job well done."Well-done Ktulu... you have made me very surprised. I didn't know you were so skillful. You don't look like it at all, and you really had me fooled."After saying that, clover turned to look at boot who was still silent at the moment.Clover could not see his face, so he didn't know what his expression was like. But from the way his body was trembling forcefully, Boot was clearly enraged.He didn't seem to be able to hold himself back anymore, and he immediately started t
"Yes, it is indeed very pitiful," Clover replied to Ktulu."In fact, after hearing your story, I believe you have more of a grudge with your former boss here than I do. Although he tried to rob and kill me, which is unforgivable, and he has to die, compared to you whose life had been completely derailed by him, mine grievance with him pales in comparison.""That's why I think you should be the one to kill him!" Clover said finally."Eh!"Ktulu was surprised... he could wrap his head around what Clover was saying."what do you mean, Lord?" Ktulu asked doubtfully, as he couldn't believe what he had heard just now."I mean exactly what I just said. You should be the one to kill him. It is just right since your grievance with him outweighs mine by a lot. So go on, I won't interfere at all. I will just watch from over here... or would you like me to hold him down for you?"Hearing lover's words again, Ktulu could finally believe that what
With the death of boot and the rest of the pirates, it put an end in this short episode of Clover's journey through the green river middle realm. Next, clover needed to fix the 'Going Broke' and set a course for the Houndclaw Space Station.Clover flew back to his spaceship while Ktulu followed behind him. Now that Ktulu had killed boot, he was very relaxed, as if a load had been taken off his shoulder. But when he thought about how he would be serving Clover from now on, Ktulu started to become nervous even more.This couldn't be helped... after spending many years with the Turk pirates and scheming to bring Boot down, Ktulu had cultivated a cautious personality and he always liked to overthink things a lot. Just like now, Ktulu was thinking about what kind of master Clover would be, and if he had any special habits and hobbies. He also wondered what his temper was like if Clover was easy-going or quick to get angry and if he would suddenly strike him dead should Ktul
Just as Clover ordered, Ktulu stayed in a corner and didn't move at all. He didn't dare to! The only thing Ktulu could do was watch Clover as he worked on preparing the ship.In the end, Ktulu realized that Clover really didn't need his help at all. He was fully capable of fixing the ship on his own.As a cosmic Lifeform, Clover's strength was extraordinary, and he didn't need to fear going into space with his body at all. Unlike Ktulu who would need a spacesuit to be able to breathe in space and protect him from the cosmic and radioactive energies in space which would be very troublesome, Clover could just head out with his bare body to fix the external part of the ship that needed repairs.There was also Trudy who could run multiple calculations at the same time to repair and improve the core systems of the ship that had suffered damage and she could also carry out automated repairs on the ship by herself. As long as there were materials to use for the repairs
