Chapter 336: The Price of Pluto
Mary Geoise.
The headquarters of the World Government at the top of the Red Line.
In the deepest part of Pangaea Castle, inside a flower-filled chamber—
A figure cloaked in elegance rose from the flowers, draped in a robe, and stepped toward a hidden path.
It was a secret passage, leading into a dimly lit corridor. Imu walked through it slowly, a stack of bounties in hand.
Eventually, she arrived before a colossal straw hat.
This hat bore the same design as the one once worn by Roger, but was several times larger in scale.
Imu gazed at the hat, then looked at the bounty on top of the stack—Mio's face staring back. After a moment's pause, she shook her head slightly, as if rejecting some notion.
Raising her hand, she gently touched the surface of the oversized straw hat. A faint glow flickered for just a heartbeat—then vanished.
With a wave of her hand, the bounty floated and landed atop the straw hat.
Imu turned and proceeded back through the passage, ascending step by step toward the Empty Throne.
