## Chapter 423 – The Plum Blossom Swordsman Reincarnated Into The Baek Family
Two ships stood side by side on the sea.
One was the ship I used with my maids, and the other was the Red Flying Fish pirate ship.
Yuria boarded the Red Flying Fish pirate ship.
Yuria did nothing but stand on the deck, yet the pirates were tense. Fear was evident in their eyes. Some were trembling so badly that they collapsed on the floor.
Even the Aura Expert, Dairan, and the mid-level mage, Gula, were stiff and sweating profusely. They knew that Yuria alone could wipe out the Red Flying Fish pirates in a minute.
“Yuria. 5 billion.”
“Yes, Master.”
Yuria’s shadow wriggled like a slime, and large money pouches began to rise.
Each pouch contained 500 million. A total of 10 pouches.
Even with Yuria right in front of them, greed crept into the pirates’ eyes. It was clear why they were pirates.
“Dairan. This is the 5 billion we agreed on this morning.”
“……Let me check.”
Dairan walked towards Yuria and opened the pouches to check the contents. Each pouch was filled with gold coins.
“Haa. It’s been a while since I’ve smelled this much gold. It would be better if my body were free.”
Dairan tied the gold pouches again. She ordered her subordinates to move the money pouches to the captain’s cabin.
The pirates moved the money pouches with greedy faces.
“Don’t you think your subordinates might steal the money? You trust them so much.”
“They’re my subordinates, so I have to trust them. And how would they escape in this sea?”
True, jumping into the sea with gold was suicide. She was also an Aura Expert, so the chances of a rebellion were slim.
“Dairan. Now it’s your turn.”
“Don’t worry. I’m reliable with deals. Your goal is to wipe out the pirate union’s executives, right? I’ll help you.”
“That’s reassuring. What’s the method for wiping them out?”
“I have a plan. But I need your help. It’s a plan that won’t succeed if you don’t actively help. If you can’t do it, tell me in advance. Don’t whine about not being able to do it halfway.”
“What’s the plan?”
“Follow me to the captain’s cabin.”
We sat facing each other at the table with the sea chart in the captain’s cabin. Me, Yuria, Dairan, and Gula. Four in total.
I looked at Gula. Gula flinched and lowered her gaze. It wasn’t just a reaction of fear towards me.
“Look at the sea chart.”
“That’s quite a well-drawn chart. It wouldn’t have been easy to get one like this.”
“I drew it myself. There are so many scammers that there’s no one to trust. See the places marked in blue? Those are the pirate union’s bases.”
Four islands and seven villages on the edge of the continent. A total of 11 bases.
It wasn’t surprising since I had expected it. The islands were the true pirate bases, and the villages were supply bases.
“There are also places marked in red and black. What are those?”
“Red is monster danger zones. No matter how urgent it is, it’s best to avoid those places. Black is the area of the pirate union executives.”
Dairan pouted her thick lips. She seemed to dislike the pirate union, even though she was a member.
“Those guys think the sea is their home. If you enter their area without permission, they’ll attack even if you’re a pirate from the same union. You have to either sneak through or pay a toll.”
“Hmm. Do we have to go and kill them one by one?”
“You said you’d wipe them out, right? Why would you do such a crazy thing? If you do that, the pirates will scatter everywhere. The sea has no barriers, so you could be playing tag forever.”
“I was just saying. What’s your plan to wipe them out?”
Actually, I wasn’t just saying it, but as Dairan said, there was a high chance the pirates would escape.
“The union executives are usually scattered. They don’t leave their areas. If you want to wipe them out, you have to gather them in one place.”
“How?”
As far as I knew, they were not the type to come just because they were called.
“There are three ways to gather the union executives in one place.”
“Three ways?”
“The first is a union crisis. If the kingdom declares a subjugation of the pirates, the executives will gather to discuss countermeasures.”
“That’s impossible. The kingdom has no interest in the sea. They’re full of people who think they can just move by land if the sea routes are blocked.”
I have Aiden, the prince of the Rapelli Kingdom, as my puppet. But I can’t use him to order a subjugation. Even if Aiden were the king, the nobles would obviously oppose it.
“The second is a summons. If the union’s boss, the Black Shark, orders a summons, they should respond in principle. The problem is that there’s no reason for the Black Shark to order a summons, and there’s no guarantee that the executives who look down on the Black Shark will easily respond.”
“There’s a rumor that the Black Shark is the pirate king. He doesn’t have much authority for a king.”
“The third and final method is when a new executive is born. In other words, if I become an executive, the union executives will gather in one place. That’s when we’ll have a chance to wipe them out.”
“Can you become an executive?”
“I’ve already greased the wheels in the union. If I had drowned you in the sea, I would have become a new executive.”
“Ah. So, the help you need is to make you an executive.”
“That’s right. Fortunately, the other pirates in the union were annihilated by your monstrous maid, and that information hasn’t been leaked. I’d like you to pretend to be dead. For about two weeks?”
“That’s not possible.”
Yuria, who had been silent, said firmly.
“If rumors spread that Master is dead, the territory will be in chaos. Above all, Duke Gent will move. In the worst case, Duke Gent could be appointed as the official successor.”
“Did you hear that?”
Dairan’s expression didn’t change. She seemed to have predicted that I would refuse.
“If you’re going to cross the mountains instead of the open sea, there’s nothing I can do. Forget about pretending to be dead. Instead, go back to your territory, suffer massive damage, and officially end the subjugation. It’s ambiguous from the union’s perspective, but if you spend some money, it’ll work out somehow since we’ve prepared things in advance.”
Yuria was silent. It meant that it wouldn’t harm me in the end.
I would be disgraced for being attacked by pirates, but my achievements so far were not negligible. Later, when I wipe out the pirate union, I can say that I pretended to end the subjugation for the operation. By then, no one will be able to ignore my achievements.
Dairan rattled off the plan. Frankly, I didn’t know the details of the plan. I got bored halfway through and played with Yuria’s butt.
‘I know the general plan. If Yuria isn’t saying anything, it must be a good plan. And it looks pretty good to me too.’
I was greedy for Dairan. She was not only beautiful but also had the skills of an Aura Expert and a good mind. With her basic beauty, she was more than qualified to be my plaything.
My grip tightened.
“Ugh….”
Yuria’s body trembled slightly. My index finger had slipped deep into her butt hole.
“…….”
Dairan and Gula’s gazes turned to Yuria. Yuria maintained a blank expression as if nothing had happened. My hand was still in her skirt, fondling her butt. Her firm butt never got boring, no matter how many times I touched it.
Dairan seemed to have noticed the situation and made a disgusted face. Her gaze towards me was mixed with contempt.
“If the plan goes well, we’ll have a chance to wipe them out. You have that maid, an Aura Master, so it’ll be easy to wipe them out. I have one question, can I ask?”
The question was directed at Yuria, not me. When I nodded, Yuria answered.
“Yes.”
“Why is an Aura Master like you working as a maid? Did you get caught in a weakness?”
“My Master wishes it.”
“……Ah, I see. Master and servant are both crazy. The meeting is over here. Let’s meet again in this rocky area in two weeks.”
“Wait. I can’t trust you. If you take the 5 billion and run to the other side of the continent, I won’t be able to catch you. I’ll stay on this ship and watch you.”
“You’re going to stay on my ship? Are you kidding? I even ate poison.”
“Your subordinates didn’t.”
Frankly, if Dairan committed suicide, the Red Flying Fish pirates would be free. If dozens of subordinates divided the 5 billion and disappeared somewhere on the continent by sacrificing her, it would be impossible to track them.
“Our work is dangerous. We don’t have time to take care of you.”
“Do I look like a kid who needs a babysitter? Just give me a cabin. And I’ll have one of my guards with me.”
“……That maid? We’re going to have something huge on board.”
“No. Yuria will take the ship back to the city.”
Among the maids, Yuria was the only one who knew how to properly sail a ship. Yuria knew that too, so she didn’t complain.
“Stay quiet on my ship. If you think I’m just going to tremble in fear in the face of death, you’re greatly mistaken. If I was afraid of death, I wouldn’t have become a pirate.”
Dairan glared at me and warned me.
I nodded roughly. I intended to stay quiet, but I wasn’t sure if my quiet was the same as hers.
“I have no intention of causing trouble or interfering with your work. Crushing the pirate union is also important to me.”
•••
Yuria sailed away.
Of course, she wasn’t leaving completely. I had already prepared a way for her to come back to my side.
“She’s really leaving. I’ve been living like a pirate for a while, but I never thought I’d actually live on a pirate ship.”
Melisa, who had boarded the Red Flying Fish pirate ship to guard me, muttered. Her eyes were wistful.
“I was starting to miss the mansion….”
“Why are your shoulders so droopy? You’re not going to be on the sea forever, so cheer up.”
To comfort Melisa, I grabbed her chest and massaged it. Her ample breasts, which couldn’t be held in one hand, changed shape in my palm.
“Haa….”
“You can keep resting in the room. Think of it as an extended vacation.”
“I can’t be careless with my guard duty. I’m not that absent-minded. Above all, if something happens to Master because I was negligent in my guard duty….”
Melisa swallowed hard. I was curious about what she was going to say next, so I urged her.
“What happens then?”
“The head maid will kill me, show me hell, and then revive me again.”
“Haha. Even Yuria can’t do that.”
“……Master doesn’t know how scary the head maid is. Only Master doesn’t know.”
Melisa shuddered as if she had imagined something.
‘If Melisa is like this… Yuria has a tight grip on the maids. Well, I knew that. As expected of Yuria.’
The ship disappeared.
We were just standing on the deck doing nothing, but the atmosphere around us was cold. The pirates were wary of us. It was only natural.
“Shall we go to the cabin? It’s just going to be uncomfortable standing on the deck.”
“I know what Master is up to. You’re planning to hold me in the cabin.”
“Was I found out?”
I squeezed Melisa’s breasts like milking a cow and entered the assigned cabin. It was one of the cabins used as a storage room, but Yuria had not only cleaned it herself before leaving but also set up high-quality furniture, so it was livable.
When I threw Melisa onto the bed and took off my clothes, the door opened and Gula entered.
Gula was startled to see my naked body. She deliberately fixed her gaze on my face.
“What’s with you all of a sudden? Do you have something to say?”
“I, I came to watch you to make sure you don’t do anything suspicious.”
“Dairan told you to? That’s unlikely.”
Gula had been raped by me before. Unless Dairan was trying to torment Gula, there was no way she would send her to me.
“It’s my own decision. It’s crazy to leave a dangerous person like you without surveillance.”
“Your own decision? Hmm.”
I grabbed Gula’s shoulder and threw her towards the bed.
“Kyaa!”
Melisa grabbed Gula from behind, restraining her hands. Then, she skillfully began to undress Gula.
