Chapter 544: The Empress

The Empress looked at Locke's eyes, seemingly considering his words. Finally, she said coldly: "Alright, I can give you this opportunity, but you must promise me one thing."

Locke smiled: "Please speak."

The Empress was silent for a moment, then said: "I need you to help me solve a problem."

Locke and Moria looked at each other, not knowing what the Empress wanted them to do.

The Empress looked at Locke and Moria and said in a deep voice: "I need you to help me solve a problem; this problem is very serious and concerns the safety of the entire world."

Locke and Moria's eyes became vigilant; they knew the Empress would never ask them to help solve small problems.

The Empress continued: "Recently, we obtained intelligence that a pirate crew is planning a large-scale attack, targeting an important facility of the World Government."

Locke and Moria were both people who came from pirates; they both had dissatisfaction with the World Government in their hearts, but they didn't want to participate in such an attack.

The Empress looked at their expressions and sneered: "I know you have always been dissatisfied with the World Government, but this attack is not only a threat to us, but also a threat to the entire world. If this attack succeeds, it will trigger a series of chain reactions, leading to the collapse of the entire world order."
