Chapter 1006

"Such a generous reward…"

"Truly enticing."

Lu En's eyes slightly narrowed as he let out a soft laugh.

His gaze shifted.

He regarded with interest the middle-aged noble who looked like a fat pig.

"You're the one offering one hundred million berries to hire me as your bodyguard?"

"To make me serve you for life?"

"Is that right?"

Lu En's smile carried a teasing edge.

His eyes grew deep as he silently regarded the middle-aged noble.

"Well?"

"Aren't you eager to sincerely thank me for granting you such a once-in-a-millennium opportunity?"

"No need to thank me—just serve me well from now on, and I'll guarantee you wealth and honor for life."

"Follow me, and you'll never regret it."

"Remember, I am a Wang Shiguizu of the Gama Kingdom!"

"Across this entire sea, how many would risk everything just to follow me? Even fight to the death for a chance? Such people are countless, beyond measure."

"Yet I have refused them all!"

"Had it not been for today's incident, I would never have offered you this chance."

The nobleman burst into loud laughter, his face brimming with pride.

"So…"

"Shouldn't I thank you properly?"

"Then…"

"Are you teaching me how to act?"

"Who gave you the nerve? Who gave you the courage?"

"A noble?"

"Pathetic!"

"You're nothing but a mindless, overgrown worm!"

"You want me to be your bodyguard?"

Lu En smiled faintly.

Then,

he gazed deeply at the middle-aged noble, his eyes holding an enigmatic glint.

"What I want to ask is…"

Do you truly have the qualification?

His words ended.

The atmosphere fell silent.

Strange!

Fink and the other pirates stared oddly at the rotund middle-aged noble, their expressions twisted with dark amusement.

"That fat pig…"

"Has he lost his mind?"

One pirate whispered low.

"Does this fat bastard not know how terrifying that five-year-old boy is? How dare he try to recruit him? To make him his bodyguard?"

"What is he?"

"That boy possesses terrifying strength!"

"A mere royal noble of a kingdom—before such a monstrous powerhouse, he's nothing but a joke."

"He dares to demand that boy become his bodyguard? Where does he get such nerve and courage?"

"That's why all these so-called nobles across this sea are just stupid, mindless worms! They've lost all rational thought."

"They should all be slaughtered!"

One pirate after another whispered among themselves.

"Boss, what do you think?"

Someone asked.

"That dead fat pig…"

"He probably doesn't know how terrifying the boy he's trying to recruit really is—how fearsome a being he is!"

"His recruitment plan will surely end in failure."

Fink shook his head.

A being who makes even him tremble in fear—would he be recruited as a bodyguard by two hundred fat noble bastards?

Impossible!

A warrior of that caliber fears no noble's constraints.

A mere noble—trying to bind such a powerhouse?

Ridiculous!

Across the sea, the number of nobles is countless.

But such powerful强者 are rare to find.

"Before absolute power…"

"All nobles will be nothing but insignificant ants."

"Only power is the foundation of everything!"

"This dead fat pig clearly still doesn't understand the situation."

"He still thinks his so-called noble status can make countless people fawn over him. Unfortunately, today he has met a terrifying强者."

"A强者 with sufficient strength!"

"His so-called noble status is utterly meaningless before the other party, not worth mentioning."

Fink said.

"Is that boy really that strong?"

A group of pirates stared blankly, their spirits shaken.

Before that boy…

Is nobility merely a decoration?

"Is nobility really this cheap?"

Someone asked weakly.

Before they went to sea and became pirates, in their minds, nobles were insurmountable, invincible titans.

They were also their greatest nightmares.

"It's not that nobility is cheap."

"It's that…"

"That boy is a prodigy!"

"In his eyes, there is no such thing as nobility."

"Because he is too strong."

"His strength has grown so great that he can ignore the vast majority of nobles on this sea. Thus, that dead fat pig wants to recruit such a monster as a bodyguard? It's a ridiculous joke."

Fink said.

"So that's how it is."

A group of faces filled with shock.

On the other side,
