Chapter 436: Using Hostages to Exchange for Deep Blue
Inside the Predator, Zoro hurried into the control room.
He was surprised to see the appearance of his elder brother.
Behind him, Irene was carried by his men and brought into the control room of the Predator.
As expected, Irene was caught again!
Seeing Irene, Zoe wanted to rush up and kill her right away!
But reason told him that this woman was of great use and he must not be impulsive.
"Zorro, you are such a good brother to me! Where did you catch her?" Zoe asked Zorro.
Zorro replied: "When repairing the spare engine, my men found her. She had already reached the deck and was about to escape secretly, but I caught her back."
Zoe was glad that her brother caught Ace's daughter at the critical moment. If she escaped, they would be in a very passive position.
"Brother, what are you going to do with her?" Zorro asked. Seeing his brother's miserable appearance and the fact that the Predator was bombed to such an extent today, his heart was also filled with anger.
"Keep her for now and lock her up. No, just lock her up here. I want to watch over her myself!" Zoe said after thinking for a while.
"And what about her people?" Zoro asked.
"Hey! Ace blew me up like this, so I will use his people to pay for my blood debt!" There was a hint of danger at the corner of Zoe's mouth.
Irene felt regretful and thought she should have been more careful. Now that she was caught again, Zoe would definitely use her to threaten her father.
And her people, it seems that Zoe can be useful too.
"Come at me if you dare! Let my people go!" Like in most movies, Irene said something meaningless.
Zoe used her tail, which was blown up to pieces, to press against Irene's chin and said with a sly smile, "That would be too good of a bargain for your father."
Zoe gave a look and her men tied Irene up and threw her into the corner of the control room.
There was a silver bracelet on Irene's hand, and it was this thing that prevented her and Ace from communicating with each other through thoughts.
The people on AI star know how to use their minds, and some people in the universe know this. Zoe is one of them, so she found this bracelet.
This bracelet has the function of shielding mental communication, but due to its small size, it cannot prevent mental attacks.
After being thrown into the corner of the control room, Irene turned her head away and simply stopped looking at Zoe and the others.
…
On the deck of the Predator.
Zoe's men drove Ace's people and jumped off the deck of the Predator one after another.
Among them, there were several AI aliens wearing royal costumes and silver bracelets on their hands.
Judging from a rough look, there are still a dozen or so tribesmen left.
They were tied together in a row with a rope quantified from bioenergy.
On the Deep Blue, Ace saw the situation outside, his heart tightened, and he quickly opened the hatch and went forward.
Zhang Hao, Qin Wuyan and others immediately followed Ace and went out of the cabin together.
"Aunt!" Ace shouted when he saw the woman opposite him wearing a robe with gold-stamped edges.
A middle-aged woman on the opposite side quickly raised her head which had been lowered when she heard the call.
"Your Majesty!" The woman's tired voice revealed great surprise.
The middle-aged woman wanted to move forward, but the energy rope that was pulled flashed with light, and she and all the tribesmen were electrocuted.
But they all frowned and said nothing, probably because they didn't want to embarrass Ace and make him cry out in pain in front of Organization X.
Ace saw this and felt nervous. The two tentacles on his head trembled unconsciously. It was obvious that he was extremely angry.
Behind his people, Zoe strode forward.
"Ace, do you like the surprise I prepared for you?" Zoe said in a gloomy tone.
"What do you want?" Ace stopped.
He knew that it was unrealistic to ask the other party to release his people. The other party must have a purpose in showing off his power.
"Alright! AI King is worthy of being the top merchant in the universe. He speaks quickly. I have only one condition. Give me your warship and I will release your people."
"No! Your Majesty! Our planet has been destroyed. Deep Blue is the only homeland of our entire AI planet. We cannot give it up to others!" The middle-aged woman who Ace called aunt just now shouted at Ace.
"Stop talking too much!" Zoe said unhappily. The energy rope flashed and Ace's people felt pain again.
Unexpectedly, Ace did not hesitate at all. He replied directly: "Okay, but you have to release my people. And my daughter!"
Zoe smiled grimly and said, "The AI King is not only good at business, but he also takes such good care of his people. As for your daughter, I will release her when we leave here. Before that, I will have to let her go for a while."
Ace frowned slightly, obviously unwilling to accept this condition, but looking at his tribesmen who were bound by energy ropes, he had no better solution.
Don't think Zoe is easy to talk to now, that's because he hasn't refused yet. He believes that as long as he says no, the other party will definitely kill his people.
And he won't kill them all at once. He will kill them one by one until his psychological defenses collapse and he agrees to his conditions.
Instead of this, Ace felt that there was no need for him to hesitate, so he chose to agree to the other party 's request.
"good."
Seeing Ace agreed, Zoe was delighted , but still handled the matter with caution. He asked his men to take over the Deep Blue spaceship.
Zoe's men passed by Ace and boarded the Deep Blue.
After a while, Zoe's men came back, walked up to Zoe and whispered something in her ear.
"Very good, King Ai is indeed trustworthy. I will return your people to you right now."
Zoe ordered her men to untie Ace's people, and the energy ropes were also collected.
The middle-aged woman in royal clothing immediately ran towards Ace, and the tribesmen followed behind her .
Ace stepped forward and held the middle-aged woman's arm. The tentacles on their heads touched each other. This should be the unique way of greeting on AI Star.
"Aunt, are you okay?" Ace asked with concern, looking at the haggard face of the middle-aged woman.
"Your Majesty! You are too confused. Organization X has never kept its word. They will definitely not let Irene go!" The middle-aged woman was anxious with a hint of blame.
But when Ace saw the tribesmen who survived the disaster, he lowered his head and whispered to the middle-aged woman: "Aunt, I know you can sacrifice your life for me, but I can't be so selfish. There are not many people left on our AI star."
The middle-aged woman then noticed that most of the other tribesmen were filled with joy at having escaped.
She knew she couldn't say anything more. The tribesmen's reaction was normal. On the Predator, they had already fulfilled their responsibility as citizens of the AI planet by not surrendering to Zoe.
"It's just... just."
"Aunt, don't say anything more. I will act according to the situation and rescue Irene. At least I will bring you back safely." Ace comforted her.
