The witch thought I am a Demon God-Chapter 506 - 298: The Feathered Serpent God’s Prayer! Black Heart’s Humming!! _3

Ivita looked at the severed finger at the bottom of the sea and suddenly said, "Marco Anson."

The vulture, having transformed from the Hearthstone Witch, looked back at Ivita, "Ah? Oh... right. That’s correct."

"The King of the Sea, contaminated by spiritual radiation, a severed limb almost reduced to flesh, a blood-related curse, this could very well be the severed finger of Marco Anson who founded the Pirate Republic – the Lord of the Seven Seas."

Ivita nodded, "The truth which the Valji Family had not been able to find for a decade, is now right before our eyes."

"That severed finger is too powerful. We can leave now, and use it later..."

The falcon, which Ivita had transformed into, suddenly stopped flapping its wings. He was still hovering in mid-air, as the Cloak of Destruction had a levitating power.

Simultaneously, a portal to Dragon Palace Magic opened by itself next to him. A curtain of rippling water emerged before Ivita, and the severed finger rushed into the Dragon Palace Magic. Its strong spirits began to merge with the Dragon Palace Magic, reinforcing it.

Ivita was taken aback, and the Hearthstone Witch, too, was frozen in shock due to this sudden change.

After a brief moment of thought, the Hearthstone Witch said: "Could this be a form of parasitism? A way to escape the seabed? The spiritual energy it granted you may be the rent it paid."

Ivita closed his eyes, beginning to introspect the washtub inside his Candy Mirror; it was connected to his magic ocean. He was uncertain about the impact the severed finger would have once it entered this space.

...

In the mansion of the Valji Family, located within Giant Port on Cross Island, outside Transfer Port, the Family Head, Tataji Valji, held a family meeting.

The old man with white beard sat at the head of the long wooden table. To his left was an empty seat. It used to be for his eldest son, McLoughlin Valji, but he obviously could not sit there anymore.

To his right was the seat for his second son, Rogge Valji, followed by his third son, fourth son, eldest daughter, youngest daughter, first grandson, second grandson, grandsons-in-law and etc.; they were seated orderly from left to right.

Hesitant, his second son, Rogge Valji, spoke: "According to information obtained by my agents, both assassins we hired failed their mission. The Small Brotherhood from Transfer Port has refused to take on our hires again..."

Family Head Tataji Valji’s face darkened. He gripped hard at the top of his Civility Cane.

"What about the Small Brotherhood from the Giant Port?"

Second son Rogge Valji shook his head in disappointment. "The assassins of Giant Port were all engaged by the daughter of the Governor-General of Belisarius. They’re disputing over the territory of Giant Port. These important people do not really care about our lives."

Family Head Tataji Valji almost snapped the Civility Cane he used to pretend to be a civilized man.

Tataji looked at his other sons and daughters.

His eldest daughter seemed none the wiser about the crisis, and continued munching on her cake. "The Bruce Family of Black Port rejected us. Daddy, I already told you that you can’t count on the Bruce Family who are engaged in sea salt business. No reputable family would be in that business. In the past, we helped them when their Family Head faced a crisis. Now they have repaid our kindness with ingratitude."

Tataji only replied with barely a word. "The Bruce Family, after all, just recently rose into power as petty smugglers in the last five years. They dare not meddle in this matter. But once our family overcomes this crisis, they will pay the price."

Tataji looked at his third son.

The third son instantly responded with a hint of awkwardness: "Father, even Captain Jack with his flamboyant dress refused to help us. He believes that returning the two Viscount territories to the land dweller called Ivita would solve all our family’s problems, eliminating the need for violence."

"Captain Jack also said that being the grand pirate who can simultaneously command dozens of three-masted ships, he will soon be going to Black Port to battle the fleets of the Republic of Belisarius! He plans to plunder the warships of the Belisarius Navy."

Tataji sighed. These people had benefited greatly from the Valji Family over the years, but when he needed their help, they all had their own business to attend to.

All Tataji could ask was, "How could the fleet of Belisarius bypass Transfer Port and go directly to Black Port?"

Seeing that his father didn’t blame him, the third son was instantly overjoyed. It was as if his disaster had vanished. He was completely oblivious to the looming peril faced by the Valji Family.

The third son said,"It is said that they have found other sea routes which can also allow relatively fast access to the core area of Cross Island. However, my friend, Captain Jack, says they are going to completely destroy the captains of the Belisarius Business Republic, who discovered this new route, this time around. Father, you need not worry, the Belisarius Business Republic cannot destroy the Pirate World."

Tataji Valji almost burst into laughter.

Was he worried about that?

The Pirate World had nothing to do with him. If the sky were to fall, taller people would hold it up; it was a matter for the grand pirates, the nine Pirate Kings, and the Great Governor.

Tataji Valji looked at his fourth son, who did not hold high hopes.

As expected, his fourth son straightforwardly said, "Captain Lockrung also said he has to go to Black Port to participate in the war, so he cannot interfere in this matter. But he suggested that we get the Governor of Giant Port to act as a mediator for peace talks."
