Chapter 281. Avenger (3)
Meanwhile, the village of Loki had fallen under the control of the Mad Dog Pirate Crew. Here, the mercenaries and dark mages had been completely wiped out.
"The boss said to distribute food to the villagers!"
"Aren't we pirates? Why are we giving food away instead of taking it?"
"You idiot! Think of it as a kind of looting. We're forcing our supplies into the villagers' empty storehouses. Heh. We're 'plundering' their poverty! That's what the boss called reverse plunder!"
"Reverse plunder? Sounds downright villainous. No wonder—true scoundrels always think on another level."
The pirates of the Mad Dog crew were staying behind to help the villagers in earnest. They were busily unloading crates and handing out much-needed food. For people who had spent their lives robbing others at sea, this scene of goodwill was a rare sight indeed.
"Who knew looting could feel so... peaceful?" one of the pirates asked.
"Our boss really is something else," another pirate said.
While a few pirates, now intoxicated with the thrill of kindness, moved about with fresh enthusiasm, Caron was busy exchanging messages with Azureocean Castle through a communication orb.
"Yes, yes, Father. Please take good care of Aqua. Oh? Mother likes her that much? I should've sent Aqua earlier. Yes, things are going well here. I think we'll be able to wrap up without much trouble and head back soon. Mm-hmm. I won't be late. You take care of your health too, Father," Caron said.
As Caron ended the call with a smile, Leo—who had been listening quietly—casually asked, "Did Aqua arrive safely?"
"Yeah. Everyone at Azureocean Castle is completely taken with her. Even the uncles and aunts bring her tasty treats every day," Caron answered.
