Achieving Nothing, I Can Only Be the Pirate King-Chapter 626 - 373: You Will Surely Be the Savior!

"Food! Food! I haven’t had cooked food in so long. Wonderful! Wonderful!"

The people below were shouting excitedly, while among the pile of burning rubble at the gate, a guy with sparks on his hem crouched down, carefully placing some jars into the cracks in the ground caused by the intense burning and the recent impact.

Grace!

He stood up, wiped a soot stain from his face, and walked to the gate, looking at the shouting people below.

"Not enough..."

"Grace!!"

Becky, with sharp eyes, immediately spotted him and roared, "I knew you were here!"

This name drew the attention of most people, causing the shouting to quiet down significantly.

The demon of toxic fire, Grace!

This name was second only to the terror of Ferngard.

But Ferngard was the King, and many dared not speak up, only hoping he would change for the better.

It was different for Grace; they hated this guy who roamed the Kingdom, causing toxic fires and explosions everywhere.

Especially since this guy wanted to join Ferngard’s ranks, trying to use their suffering for his own advancement. Even those who hadn’t met him would feel genuine hatred upon hearing his name.

People’s hatred for traitors often exceeded that for enemies.

"Becky, is it..."

Grace smirked, but quickly realized something, his face turning cold. He looked down at the people below for a moment, then turned to Sage and said:

"You’re a pirate, right? You can’t rule here, can you? Are you planning to take these people away?"

"I need labor on my side. There’s no point leaving these fifty thousand people here; it’s so poor anyway. Of course, I’m taking them all." Sage said.

"This is our hometown... If they are taken away, many people won’t be willing."

"Who cares about that? I’m a pirate," Sage rolled his eyes.

Lily thought for a moment and explained, "If people can’t survive, moving to a place where they can is the right choice. A so-called hometown is just people; as long as people exist, it will eventually become a new home."

"I agree." Marika smiled.

Grace was momentarily stunned, then shook his head with a smile, "Alright then..."

He looked back at the blazing inferno still burning in the hole, grinned, and assumed a battle stance, yelling with all his might:

"Now that Ferngard is gone, no one can stop me! It’s best to destroy this trash country; I’ve already planted a gas bomb here. Once it explodes, this island will be destroyed! Let’s all die together!!"

Bang!

Just as he finished speaking, he pulled out a bomb from somewhere and hurled it backward with force, triggering an explosion that caused the gas he had placed in the cracks to erupt, intensifying the surrounding flames even more.

The already fragile outer wall, burned and shaken by the impact, collapsed further, exposing a larger gap like a gate in the mountain.

Rocks tumbled down, breaking into rubble, igniting the people’s hearts with panic.

"Run!"

The people of the Royal Capital, already on an emotional rollercoaster, went crazy and ran backward at the shock of the explosion, ignoring the flaws in the statement.

Sage glanced at Grace, raising a brow, "What’s the matter? You really have a knack for causing trouble. I ran into someone like you last year..."

His words trailed off, and he gave Lily a subtle glance, choosing silence.

"I’m serious!"

Grace’s face turned ferocious, "I hate this place! Those lowlifes don’t acknowledge me, and that damn Ferngard guy doesn’t either. This place is so poor, it might as well be destroyed!"

"I’ve already activated the bomb. Even if it doesn’t destroy the island, it’ll blow the mountain open, allowing the toxic fire to spread across. Even if they survive, they won’t be able to live here!"

Sage was momentarily taken aback, sizing him up with new seriousness, "Are you really serious? I think you’re kind of promising. If you stop now, I can heal you. With your skills, you’d be more useful under my command."

This was indeed an explosion maniac, yet his determination was remarkable.

Because this guy was near death...

The reason Sage, Lily, and Marika bothered to respond to Grace was due to this rare leniency.

Normally, Sage wouldn’t even look at a weakling unless Marika was being considerate, and Lily, having adopted Sage’s ways, would easily ignore irrelevant people. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

Everyone was so busy; no one had the time to deal with a useless small fry.

The reason they responded to Grace was because, under the Observation ability, it was clear to see...

He was dying.

For someone near death to still push themselves so hard, that kind of willpower was indeed admirable.

This guy was a formidable opponent...

For such individuals, Sage was still willing to treat them with respect.

Whether he’d cause resentment or acceptance was not something Sage cared to consider.

In terms of hate, the world had more people hating him.

As for acceptance... Sage’s orders were commands to be absolutely executed!

That guy named Becky, promising as he might be, alongside this labor force of fifty thousand, didn’t qualify to change his mind.
