Returning With A Thousand Favors

Chapter 241

“Can I… not go?” Quantum, after hearing Marina’s words, suddenly felt a sense of fear.

“If you don’t want to go, it’s okay. But you should know better than me what kind of place this is.

“Other than Black Panther, there are many other pirates in these waters.

“They won’t show me any respect. If they catch you, who knows what might happen…” Marina spoke as she looked at Quantum with a meaningful gaze.

“Fine, fine, I’ll go. Just please stop talking about it.” Quantum met Marina’s gaze and felt a shiver down his spine. ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

He immediately agreed without hesitation.

Although Black Panther seemed quite ruthless, her relationship with Marina appeared to be quite good.

As long as Quantum could minimize his presence and keep a low profile, he should be able to stay alive.

Therefore, with Phoenix in his arms, Quantum lowered his head and followed behind Marina, boarding Black Panther’s ship.

Black Panther’s ship was several times larger than Marina’s.

Moreover, the decorations inside were especially luxurious.

There were various facilities onboard.

From the casino on the upper floor to the shopping mall on the lower floor. There were even swimming pools.

Quantum was utterly amazed.

Since Marina had an urgent matter to discuss with Black Panther, she didn’t have time to accompany Quantum for a leisurely stroll.

Instead, she went directly to Black Panther’s room, and Quantum followed behind.

Black Panther’s room almost occupied the entire top floor.

The interior was grand and magnificent.

As Quantum entered, he was nearly blinded by the sparkling golden ornaments.

Were all pirates this rich?

It made him want to go become a pirate too..

“Marina, it’s especially safe here with me. There are always people guarding outside, so you can tell me if you have something. You don’t have to worry about eavesdropping by others,” Black Panther sat directly on her exclusive chair.

Because of her larger size, it was difficult to find chairs on the market that fit her.

This one was specially customized by Marina for her.

It was one of Black Panther’s beloved treasures.

“I want you to help me find someone. He should be in this sea area as well,” Marina said without beating around the bush.

“Who is it? Do you have any information?” Black Panther asked.

“I have his photo,” Marina directly pulled out a picture of Simon and handed it to Black Panther.

Black Panther stared at the photo and examined it carefully for a while. “I don’t have any impression of this face, but if he’s in these waters, I can

definitely help you find him.”

“Thank you. I believe he might be in danger now. Have there been any significant incidents in this area recently?” Marina inquired.

“Significant incidents?” Black Panther’s expression turned thoughtful upon hearing those words.

After a moment, Black Panther suddenly remembered something.

“Oh, I heard there has been some trouble with Humpback recently. It seems that someone stole something precious from him.”

Marina’s face immediately turned grim upon hearing this.

“No way! Could it be that the person you’re looking for is the one who stole from Humpback?” Black Panther raised an eyebrow as she noticed Marina’s

expression.

“I’m not entirely sure, but if this is the only significant incident recently, I think it might be related to him,” Marina replied. She could not be a hundred percent certain now.

“Your friend is quite bold. Even I hesitate to confront Humpback directly.

“Humpback is a madman. Once you get entangled with him, he won’t easily let go,” Black Panther said in a relaxed tone.

“Can you help me locate their position? Just tell me where they are, and I’ll take care of the rest,” Marina said, well aware of the reputation of Humpback.

In these seas, there were three famous pirate leaders.

Black Panther was one of them.

And Humpback was the boss among these three pirate leaders.

He was able to rise to this position because he had no moral boundaries whatsoever.

Regardless of who they were, anyone who set foot on his territory would never leave unscathed.

It was precisely because of his cruel and ruthless nature that he had been able to amass immense wealth and power in the shortest possible time.

Although Black Panther was also a pirate leader, she did have boundaries.

Her principle was “Pay up and no killing.”

She was willing to accept payment from civilians in exchange for sparing their lives. She also avoided unnecessary conflicts with military personnel.

That was why Marina became friends with her.

“What do you take me for? Do you think I would just let you deal with Humpback on your own?” Black Panther’s temper flared up upon hearing Marina’s

words.

Quantum instantly raised his hand to cover his ears.

Honestly, he still couldn’t believe that the person in front of him was a woman.

What grudge did god have against Black Panther, giving her such a robust physique and turning her into a woman?

Wouldn’t it be easier to make her a man?

“This matter is my personal affair. You’ve already helped me greatly by providing this lead, and I don’t want to involve you any further,” Marina said earnestly.

“I don’t care what kind of mess I will be in. You saved my life, and I wouldn’t be here today without you.

“No matter who you’re going up against, if they’re your enemies, they’re my enemies too.

Just stay on my ship and rest assured, I will take you to find Humpback!” Black Panther’s tone left Marina no room for refusal.

After speaking, she immediately gave orders to her subordinates to search intensively for Humpback’s whereabouts.

“Yes,” the subordinates replied and immediately left.

Seeing Black Panther’s attitude, Marina sighed deeply. “You really don’t have to do this.”

“I wondered why you’ve been acting so hesitant and indecisive after coming ashore for a while. You’re nothing like the Marina I knew!” Black Panther leisurely glanced at Marina.

Marina shook her head helplessly.

Then she spoke, “Let me see how well your injuries have healed.”

“My body has long recovered,” Black Panther said, although she obediently let Marina check her condition.

Marina checked Black Panther’s condition with her portable medical instrument.

Marina had in–depth knowledge and research experience in medicine.

She checked Black Panther’s condition seriously for a while before letting her go.

“Did you not listen to what I told you before?” Marina had a stern expression.

Black Panther went silent for a moment.

“Well… Those requirements of yours are too difficult. Not touching cold water, not drinking alcohol… As a mighty pirate, do you expect me to drink herbal drinks every day? What nonsense!”

Black Panther’s face showed disdain.

“So you don’t want to get married in the future?” Marina’s tone was firm.
