Chapter 179: Chapter 177: Chi She Family, Good Heart Factory

The store’s front door had been broken open, and sunlight sliced through the darkness like a blade.

A figure as tall and robust as a steel tower loomed over the two, and Chen Qing’s already considerable height seemed quite petite in comparison.

But next to this person, Chen Qing could be described as dainty without exaggeration.

She stood against the light, rendering her face indiscernible to onlookers.

Only her grey-blue eyes seemed to glow, brimming with rage.

"Hannah, you dare to pin this on Rust Island!!"

The newcomer reached out, attempting to push Chen Qing aside in order to grab Hannah.

But no matter how much strength she used, Chen Qing remained immovably rooted to the spot.

She couldn’t budge Chen Qing at all!

"..."

The person paused, faced with Chen Qing’s indifferent gaze, and forced out an awkward yet amiable smile.

"Excuse me, may I get through?"

"Hmm."

Chen Qing looked down and responded briefly, withdrawing her foot and stepping aside to make space.

Hannah, who lay prostrate on the ground, was gasping more than breathing, on the brink of death.

The person reached out with a large hand, grabbing Hannah like a small chick, and crudely poured a potion into her mouth.

The nearly dead Hannah immediately caught her breath as soon as she swallowed the potion, and the first thing she saw upon opening her eyes was a familiar face.

Green Sand Rose of the Rose Family from Rust Island.

"Hannah."

Lu Sha flashed her a grin, which scared Hannah so much that she wished she could faint on the spot.

She had the guts to scheme against Chen Qing but certainly not the courage to face Green Sand Rose.

Green Sand Rose’s reputation in Treasure Sea was extremely notorious; despite her seemingly genteel name.

She was famously fond of violence, and any pirate unlucky enough to fall into her hands would end up as a still-breathing pile of mush.

"You just said it was Rust Island that instructed you to plot against her?"

A hand as large as a fan patted Hannah’s face repeatedly, and after a couple of slaps, blood seeped from the corners of Hannah’s mouth, and her teeth wobbled dangerously.

"Bring them in."

Lu Sha tossed Hannah aside and bellowed outside.

Immediately, someone dragged in something that resembled a limp body, which was thrown in front of Chen Qing.

"This guy is from Red Snake Family of Steel Island; he was colluding with Hannah."

"I’ll take Hannah with me; this guy is yours."

"No problem, right?"

Lu Sha spoke gruffly, not anticipating any issues—an eye for an eye, Chen Qing should have no objections.

But then, considering Chen Qing’s strength... Lu Sha added another piece of advice.

"Hannah is just a lackey; she doesn’t know much, and I won’t let a traitor to Rust Island live."

"Hmm, I understand."

Chen Qing’s gaze fell upon the person on the ground, the still-breathing body from Steel Island, Red Snake Family.

This family...

Chen Qing had heard of this family, but was there any enmity between them?

Apart from the Delu Gu family, she shouldn’t have any issues in Treasure Sea—

Suddenly, an image flashed through Chen Qing’s mind.

Cross Star, Silver Light.

His Extraordinary Ability related to mechanics, one aspect of which allowed him to dismantle machinery instantaneously.

"Does Cross Star’s Silver Light have any connection with the Red Snake Family of Steel Island?"

Chen Qing abruptly asked.

"Cross Star, Silver Light?"

Lu Sha furrowed her brows, pondering seriously for a long while before finally remembering.

"Oh, you mean the rebellious lad from the Red Snake Family."

"He was the heir designated by the Red Snake Family; what, did you cross him?"

"I killed him."

Chen Qing spoke matter-of-factly, as casually as mentioning she had a meal.

"..."

Hearing Chen Qing’s response, Lu Sha silently increased the distance between herself and Chen Qing.

No wonder then, the Red Snake Family was arranging manpower to go after Chen Qing, even in their remote corner of Rust Island.

Hannah was just an appetizer; a barrage of vicious reprisals from Steel Island was inevitably awaiting Chen Qing.

"You’ve made an enemy of Red Snake Family, and their position within the Mechanical Association is not to be underestimated."

"Either you leave Treasure Sea soon, their reach isn’t that extensive."

"Or you wipe out the Red Snake Family, or they wipe you out."

"Otherwise, there’s only one path left for you."

Having taken a good look at Chen Qing, Lu Sha acknowledged that their Rose Family couldn’t compare to the Red Snake Family.

The Red Snake Family had people even in Scarlet Sea Domain!

Considering Chen Qing’s positive demeanor just now, Lu Sha didn’t mind offering Chen Qing a pointer.

"Hmm?"

Chen Qing turned her head toward Lu Sha, confusion etched on her face.
