"It's okay, she really didn't modify my memory, and we have contacted each other a long time ago. She is ours now." Charles explained patiently to the crew.
Audric shook his head with a serious expression. "No, Captain, if that woman can really modify memories, then maybe all these memories of yours were put into your brain by her, and they are all false."
Just as Charles was about to say something else, Lily jumped out to refute him. "No, this monster sister has already appeared. She came to see Mr. Charles three years ago, but you just didn't know about it."
"Lily, why didn't you tell us such an important thing!" Finance Minister Krona picked her up from the ground and kept shaking her.
"Why are you yelling so loudly? Your stinky saliva is spraying on my hair. You didn't ask, so why should I tell you? Besides, it takes a long time for your sister to come every time." Lily said while struggling, trying to get rid of Krona's hand.
"Alright." Charles' words interrupted everyone's actions. "That's it. Don't tell anyone else about this."
"But Captain, she's a monster, a man-eating monster! Are we going to let her run around our island like this!?"
Hearing this, Charles' eyes dimmed a little. "What's the difference between monsters and humans? Disperse, don't crowd together, this matter ends here, this is the captain's order."
Hearing Charles' firm attitude, the crew members left reluctantly. However, they did not seem to give up and kept asking Lily for details.
The celebration banquet went on as scheduled, and guests toasted each other in the uniquely designed hall.
Well-maintained pretty women and elegant men in suits and ties chatted with each other, and maids in short skirts served them drinks and cigarettes attentively.
But Charles was not among them. Charles did not like these social events, and other people on the island also knew that the Governor did not like them.
As the owner of the island, he was qualified to ignore these trivial matters, and no one was so blind as to seek Charles's favor.
Administrative Minister Leonardo smiled and easily entertained those who came to curry his favor.
He looked vaguely in the direction of the Governor. Three years had passed, and he himself did not believe how loyal he was to Charles.
But what happened before calmed his restless heart.
Watching those extremely fierce battlefields, he understood a truth: if one wanted to gain a foothold in the Earth Sea solely by relying on clever tricks, it would not last long. If he really launched a coup, he would probably end up like those monsters.
He was dressed in a dapper manner, stroking the translucent glass cup with his hand, and thought to himself, "Forget it, let him do the job of Governor. I'd better just focus on being my minister."
Suddenly his eyes lit up, and he looked at Alia, who was wearing a high-slit purple dress, "Look who's here, isn't this our island defender, Deputy Director Alia?"
Ailia glanced at the man in front of her with disdain, "How boring! All the men are so pretentious. There are not many men who are even remotely energetic. If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have come here."
After saying that, she picked up the wine glass in her hand, tilted her head back and drank it directly, completely ignoring Leonardo in front of her, and left on her own.
The administrative director of Hope Island trembled slightly, and slowly squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth. "Uneducated pirate."
A sneer appeared on Alia's face in the distance. "You liar deserves to be sent to the guillotine."
After saying this, she glanced at the Governor in the distance and walked straight towards the exit.
"Experiments are ongoing. The doctor has found a pattern. It seems that the more experience a person has in the sea, the more likely they are to receive the source material. He said this is why you and the bandage succeeded at once."
Charles nodded. "Remember to develop the abilities of those successful people. The abilities gained after absorbing the source substance are not as simple as copying abilities. This kind of power is more flexible and special and can be applied to various fields."
Charles raised his hand and looked at the white arcs of electricity dancing between his fingers.
After using it in previous battles, Charles suddenly discovered that the potential of this power was much greater than he had imagined.
This potential is not necessarily in the combat aspect. He feels that this ability is more valuable in the industrial aspect. This ability can completely serve as a lubricant between industries.
This is his intuition. This power can greatly assist human technology and help humans easily break through the ceiling of various technologies.
"Well, I'll tell the doctor."
"By the way, the doctor's health is getting worse and worse. He can just keep an eye on this matter. He doesn't have to do it himself."
Hearing Charles' words, James showed a bitter smile on his face, "I think so too, but he has to be willing to listen to me. You know his bad temper. He didn't even come to the banquet today. He seems to be addicted now, living with those death row prisoners every day."
Charles nodded in understanding. Yes, if this guy gets really stubborn, no one will listen to him. If he had known this would happen, he would not have involved him.
But he is so old now, and probably he will not do research so desperately after he has lost interest in it.
"Bang!!" There was a loud noise suddenly from above the roof, and the gorgeous colorful crystal chandelier hanging in the hall fell straight to the ground and exploded into pieces like scattered flowers from the sky, startling the woman and causing her to scream continuously.
"James, don't let anyone else come up!" Charles put down the cup and rushed up the stairs without saying a word.
When he came to the second floor, he found that the furniture that should have been neatly arranged was now scattered everywhere with parts missing, and the two women were separated from each other, one on the left and one on the right.
Anna's hands had turned into black hollow tentacles, and Elizabeth's special wooden cane was also tightly held in her hands.
"what happened?"
Hearing Charles' voice, the two men quickly put away their weapons.
"Charles, it's okay. We talked to each other for a while." Sexy Elizabeth smiled and walked to Charles' side, hugged him gently and said, "I won't leave for now. When you are free, remember to come to my boat to find me. I miss you so much."
Seeing Elizabeth walking down the stairs, Anna snorted coldly. "I didn't expect this woman to have something to prevent mind control, otherwise I would have deleted all memories of you from her mind."
Charles looked at Anna speechlessly, "Is this really necessary?"
"Of course it's necessary!" Anna held her waist and walked in front of Charles. "You don't think we can get along well, do you? Scumbag."
