Chapter 240


    “What are you all chattering about? Can you speak louder? Why do you sound like a woman!” ck


    Panther couldn’t quite make out the conversation between Quantum and Marina and shouted with a


    raised voice.


    Quantum felt like his eardrums were about to burst.

    Did this guy put a megaphone in his throat?


    How on earth was he speaking so loudly?


    “It’s nothing. This is also my good friend who came with me to find someone,” Marina exined.


    Upon hearing Marina’s words, ck Panther nced up and down at Quantum.


    “I must say, Marina, howe your friends are always tiny? See this little creature. I could squash him


    with just one finger. How can he possibly protect you?” ck Panther had a helpless expression.


    Quantum went speechless.


    “I’ve told you before. You should join me as a pirate on the high seas. It’s carefree and liberating. On


    the sea, I am the king, and you can do whatever you want without anyone bothering you!


    “Isn’t it better than being with a bunch of Spineless Chickens like this guy?” ck Panther stared at


    Quantum with disdain.


    Quantum retorted, “Who are you calling a Spineless Chicken? Do you think everyonemunicates


    through fists like you?


    “A real man relies on his brains, not his size. Don’t think you can look down on others just because


    you’re a burly man with a few pounds of muscle!” Quantum couldn’t stand being called a Spineless


    Chicken.


    Even if the other party was a fearsome pirate captain, he couldn’t tolerate this insult.


    “What did you say?” ck Panther’s face immediately turned grim upon hearing Quantum’s words.


    The subordinates standing behind ck Panther all looked at Quantum with expressions of pity.


    This Spineless Chicken was truly done for today.


    How dare he spoke such words?


    They knew that thest person who said such things was thrown to the sharks by their boss.


    They wondered how their boss would punish this Spineless Chicken this time.


    “I said a real man relies on intelligence, and size doesn’t matter!” Quantum repeated his statement


    without realizing the gravity of the situation.


    Even Marina’s eyes started to look at him with sympathy.


    It wasn’t until this moment that Quantum began to sense something was amiss.


    He turned his head in confusion, looking at Marina beside him.


    “What’s wrong? Did I say something wrong?” Quantum’s voice trembled slightly.


    “You didn’t say anything wrong. You’re incredibly brave, and I salute you as a man!” Marina gave him a


    thumbs–up.


    “What do you mean…” Before Quantum could ask about the meaning behind Marina’s words, he was


    abruptly lifted up by ck Panther.


    The sudden lift made Quantum instantly panic.

    His legs iled involuntarily as he stared in fear at ck Panther, who was twice his size, right in front


    of him.


    “What are you trying to do? Killing people is illegal!”


    “Illegal? Haha.” ck Pantherughed at Quantum’s words.


    The group of subordinates behind ck Pantherughed even more brazenly.


    Quantum immediately realized how foolish his words were.


    They were in the gray area wherews and regtions held no sway.

    “Um… Don’t think you can bully me just because you’re physically stronger. If you have the guts, let’s


    compare our intellectual abilities!” Quantum struggled, attempting to free himself from ck Panther’s


    grasp.


    However, he soon realized that his strength was no match for his opponent’s.


    “Who wants topare some useless intellectual abilities with you? I’m going to squash your head


    right now and see how you can stillpare with me!” ck Panther prepared to smack Quantum


    directly.


    “I’m sorry!” Quantum immediately raised his voice to apologize when he saw ck Panther’s big punch


    coming at him.,


    As soon as the apology escaped his lips, Quantum tightly shut his eyes.


    After a brief moment, he realized that the expected pain did not arrive.


    He slowly opened his eyes and realized ck Panther had stopped the punch.


    Just as he was wondering, ck Panther suddenly released him.


    However, the release was somewhat rough, causing Quantum to plop down on the deck.


    “Marina, since you’re the one who brought this person here, I’ll spare him this time. But if he dares to


    spout nonsense again next time, I’ll chop him into pieces and feed him to my Little Baby,” ck


    Panther enunciated each word.


    “Alright, I will remind him firmly,” Marina replied. She didn’t take action earlier because she knew ck


    Panther wouldn’t actually harm Quantum.


    “Let’s go to my ship,” ck Panther spoke and headed toward therge ship.


    Meanwhile, Marina nced down at Quantum, who was still sitting on the ground..


    “You better get up quickly. You’ve really lucked out this time,” Marina said calmly.


    “I didn’t say anything wrong just now. Why did he get so angry? Does he only admire physical strength


    but despise others who have intellectual capacity?” Quantum struggled to get up, feeling somewhat


    embarrassed.


    “You still haven’t grasped the main point until now. It wasn’t about that,” Marina’s expression held a hint


    of profound meaning.


    “What was it then?” Quantum furrowed his brow.


    Besides that statement, he hadn’t said anything else.


    “You said ck Panther is a burly man, right?” Marina looked at Quantum and, out of concern for his


    well–being, kindly reminded him in order to save his


    own head.


    “Yeah, what’s wrong with that?” Quanturn looked bewildered.


    “ck Panther is a woman,” Marina parted her lips.


    “What?” Quantum’s eyes nearly popped out of their sockets upon hearing this.


    His expression of disbelief was as if someone had just told him that the world was ending tomorrow.


    “You’re not joking with me, are you?” Quantum spoke again in disbelief.


    “Do you think I would joke about something like this?” Marina rolled her eyes at him.


    “But she… doesn’t look anything like a woman! She clearly looks like a man in every way!” Quantum


    began to doubt his own eyes,


    Marina replied, “Sometimes, you can’t be deceived by superficial appearances. ck Panther may


    appear taller and more masculine than an average girl, but deep down, she is a very gentle girl.


    “And I must remind you, ck Panther despises it when people say she looks like a man.


    “So you have to be careful in the future. She let you off just now because of me. Otherwise, you would


    already be her Little Baby’s food.”


    When Quantum heard this, he wanted to say something, but before he could say anything, Marina


    added another sentence.


    “By the way, her Little Baby is arge ck shark. It’s extremely bloodthirsty. It can swallow ten of you


    in one bite.”


    Quantum was too shocked to speak..


    How could ck Panther be a girl?


    Which girl would keep a shark as a pet and name it “Little Baby“?


    Could that thing be called “Little Baby“?


    It should be called a deadly weapon!


    “Let’s go, get on the ship.” Marina didn’t give him time to process it.


    After all, he would graduallye to understand in the following time.
