The Rhinoceros slowly retracted its planks and left the coast.
"They actually didn't leave, they seem to be fearless." Calci's eyebrows slightly twitched. He looked at Novi and asked with interest, "According to your observation, what do you think is the identity of the other party?"
"The one guarding the door looks like a pirate. There's also a man with a scar on his face who doesn't look like a good person. But the one in charge should be the man who came out last." Novi recalled his impression of the man, "He's about 1.8 meters tall. His body is thin and his skin is pale. He doesn't look like a pirate. His eyes don't have the bloodthirsty and ferocious look of a pirate. His eyes are very calm and indifferent."
"A merchant?" Calci tried to picture a vague image in his mind.
"A bit similar, but not quite the same. It's like he's wearing a layer of disguise. I can't describe it clearly." Novi said.
"I understand." Calci waved his hand to let Novi leave. He held his chin and fell into deep thought, "Being fearless means that the other party came prepared. Their target should be the Tiago Chamber of Commerce. Was the question conveyed to me to test my attitude towards the Tiago Chamber of Commerce?"
Calci shook his stiff neck, making cracking sounds. He threw the colored stone in his hand on the table and grinned, revealing his jagged teeth. He said to himself, "The Tiago Chamber of Commerce is about to arrive. Tunas, tell me, how should I greet you this time?"
* Cough … * A dry retching sound was heard.
Lombardi's face was expressionless as he strangled the man's neck with his arm. The man's eyes bulged out, his mouth opened wide. His face gradually turned purple as he desperately struggled to free himself.
* Bang! *
The back of the chair on the floor was kicked down. The merchants around them were suppressed and kept silent. Their foreheads were slightly sweating.
"Since you know our secret, how can we allow you to retreat? If you go to the Tiago Chamber of Commerce, won't we all be finished?" Lombardi's head leaned on the man's ear. Behind his glasses were a pair of ferocious eyes, "It's better for you to die than for all of us to die. You can only blame yourself for being too stupid!"
* Kacha * Kacha *
The muscles and bones on his neck made a grinding sound. Lombardi let go of his arm, and the man's head tilted at a strange angle.
Lombardo let out a breath of turbid air and used his finger to gently push up his glasses. He looked around at the crowd, and the whites in his eyes increased. His pupils contracted, and he said in a deranged manner, "Double the profit. It's enough for everyone to take the risk of being hung on the gallows. The Tiago Merchant Guild is the tiger that we must kill."
The so-called double profit was just nonsense. In fact, it was only an increase of 50%. But if he didn't do that, how could he arouse the greed of these merchants? Moreover, Lombarre wasn't a madman. Even if all of them worked together, they still wouldn't be a match for the Tiago Merchant Guild.
Getting rid of this tiger that was blocking his way was no different from a fool's dream. Besides, how could he, Lombardi, be willing to share the profits with others? These idiots were just pawns and cannon fodder that he could manipulate. What he really wanted to do was to have another plan that was safer.
After a while.
"You're right. Then how can we get rid of this tiger that is blocking our way?" The short and stout merchant gritted his teeth, his face flashed with a stern look.
The rest of the merchants seemed to have recovered from their daze as they agreed.
"You've made a wise decision." Lombardo clapped his hands and said, "Whether it's the Rainbow Stone Factory or the Tiago Merchant Guild, I have bribed spies. When the time comes, as long as everyone listens to my arrangements, Tiago will die without a burial place. And the wealth he leaves behind will be divided equally among us."
Everyone loudly agreed.
"Then, the job of pacifying this ship will be handed over to Mister Lang Shi." Lombardo pointed at the corpse that had its neck twisted and said to the short and stout merchant who spoke first.
"No problem. I guarantee that there won't be any problems." Lang Shi grinded his teeth and replied.
… … …
Two days passed peacefully.
As the sun set, the black curtain once again fell on the earth. The waves on the coast slapped against the sides of the ship. Calci stepped on the bow of the ship with one foot. The darkness behind him was like a monster that was slowly spreading towards Rainbow Stone Town.
The old and desolate hotel quietly stood at the end of the street. The door was tightly closed. The light closest to the third floor was still on. A faint light came through the gap between the curtains.
Vaguely, one could see a person's figure flickering. His thin body was reflected on the curtains, forming a strange shape. It was as if the person inside was in a strange posture. His two arms were bent and twisted backwards in violation of human mechanics. Then, inch by inch, they split open.
Split open!
The countdown reached zero!
Yarlin coldly stared at the scene in front of him. He suddenly stood up. His whole body issued a series of crackling sounds. His limbs were also trembling as if they had been electrocuted. It was as if he had gone crazy.
The skin cracked, revealing the pale white muscles underneath. The cracks were like broken petals blooming. Countless black threads crazily swayed and gathered, twisting into a bundle. It became thick and solid at a speed visible to the naked eye. It was as if the black muscles were rapidly growing, crushing and absorbing the red and white dregs.
Looking at the corpse as a whole, it looked like it had been dyed. The pale white on the surface was disappearing, and a layer of black on the inside was healing from all directions.
The white of the eyeball was quickly disappearing. The center of the eyeball was spreading until it covered the entire eyeball. Then, a black pattern appeared in the center of the forehead, forming a twisted trident. In the center of the trident was a black dot, as if it was symbolizing something.
The black muscles of the whole body were dotted with red and white spots. The strong muscles were like steel bars. At first glance, it didn't look like a human, but more like a cold-blooded beast forged from black iron. With a crack, a small hole appeared on the tailbone. Alternating black and white vertebrae extended out from the hole, revealing a length of two meters. The tip of the tailbone was a triangular barb. It was held up in the air and swayed towards the void.
Just by looking at it, one could feel the fierceness and fatality.
[Inferior Slave: A defective product of the Broodmother's mutated flesh. An inferior slave that consumes the host to make up for the defects in its body. Cannot evolve.] A string of information appeared in Yarlin's mind.
Their height had increased by about 20 centimeters. Now, every Inferior Slave was almost two meters tall. Their faces had also changed. Other than the color of their pupils, their facial bones had become thinner. The cheekbones on both sides were sunken inwards. There were two thin lines in the sunken areas. Those were the organs that evolved to look like fish gills.
The skin of their faces was also dyed a dark black. It was as if all the black pigment on their faces was concentrated in the pattern between their eyebrows. It was as black as ink and dazzling.
