Chapter 2878 Star Pirate Alliance's Secret!
Rail Thorn held the highest position among all the star pirate spies present and managed all of them.
Rail Thorn came from the Dark Punishment Star Pirates and was the third most important figure.
After the Dark Punishment Star Pirates joined the 'Star Pirate Alliance', the members were shuffled. The first and second most important figures became team leaders, while Rail Thorn became the second-in-command of the Star Pirate Alliance's search and reporting department.
The first in command of the Star Pirate Alliance's search and reporting department managed the internal affairs, while Rail Thorn handled the external operations.
Rail Thorn designed the different roles and ranks in the search and reporting department. He designed the roles in this manner because he did not want the members of the search and reporting department to get to know each other.
If they were pigeonholed into their individual roles and ranks, it would be easy to notice if any of them were missing. Additionally, even if one of them was caught by the enemy and forced to speak, they would not be able to implicate the entire department.
This system also protected Rail Thorn.
Rail Thorn only had four members in his team and was extremely cautious of his own safety. He had deemed the four team members as trustworthy, but Red Scorpion had named him in order to save herself.
In order to ensure that the Star Pirate Alliance's plan went smoothly, Rail Thorn was even prepared to sacrifice himself.
Rail Thorn looked at Lin Yuan serenely through several strands of hair that fell over his face as he tried to come up with the next step of his plan.
Spring frowned at Rail Thorn. She knew that he was very cunning. Otherwise, she would not have been unable to discern anything special about him when she was investigating Treasure City!
Rail Thorn had to be extremely talented to avoid being picked out by Spring's sharp eyes.
A person like this, who also held an important position in the Star Pirate Alliance, would not divulge information easily.
Lin Yuan wanted to handle this matter personally, so Spring did not interject or add anything.
When Rail Thorn did not respond, Lin Yuan knew that he was not an easy character to deal with. Lin Yuan did not have time to waste on Rail Thorn.
From his previous questioning of the spies, Lin Yuan confirmed that the higher the position of the spy, the more information they knew.
It was true that Rail Thorn was the most valuable figure among the spies.
Lin Yuan took a step forward and pushed aside the hair that covered Rail Thorn's forehead.
Rail Thorn was startled by Lin Yuan's actions and instinctively took a step backward. However, he was immobilized by a jet of water that had burst out from Lin Yuan's body.
As the head of the information department, his abilities were far more important than his power.
Rail Thorn was not strong and was still some way from reaching World Emperor/Divine Kingdom. This was why he did not stand out, regardless of where he was.
Rail Thorn was not used to being examined in such an open and vulnerable state, but there was nothing he could do about it.
Lin Yuan used his pointer finger to tap Rail Thorn's forehead.
"You might not have voluntarily stepped forward, but I am still willing to give you a chance to live. But you need to tell me everything you know. As a reward, I will give you a platform where you'll be able to utilize your value better than you currently do in the Star Pirate Alliance!
"If you're unwilling to cooperate with me while I'm communicating with you through normal methods, I will have no choice but to use my own means to make you talk. I will give you three minutes to think. With your experience, I'm sure you understand the implications."
Lin Yuan decided to flex his power in the most direct manner.
Lin Yuan's intensity caused cold sweat to begin dripping down Rail Thorn's back.
Rail Thorn knew that, given his current situation, he was a prisoner who did not get to decide whether he lived or died. There was no question that revealing what he knew would bring him the most benefits and give him the greatest chance of surviving!
Rail Thorn could already guess what Lin Yuan wanted to ask. Once he revealed such information, many of his brothers would lose their lives in Treasure City!
Rail Thorn was silent for a moment before he asked, "If I tell you about the situation, what will you do to the other star pirates in the Star Pirate Alliance?"
Lin Yuan replied with a question of his own, "Do you think the Star Pirate Alliance, who go around killing and plundering, deserve to live? Will anyone survive after the star pirates conquer Treasure City? I won't be letting any of the Star Pirate Alliance's star pirates go free!"
Lin Yuan spoke firmly. Rail Thorn's expression became austere.
"What about the spies you chose? Will you be letting them live?"
Lin Yuan no longer had any patience. "They get to live because they have used their own means to fend off the star pirates outside of Treasure City. I am willing to give a chance to those who know how to right their own wrongs. Are you going to give up your chance to continue living?"
Rail Thorn could sense Lin Yuan's irritation from his words.
Now that he was free of control, Rail Thorn no longer had anything to worry about. Rail Thorn had a few good friends in the Star Pirate Alliance, but their relationship was not stable.
Rail Thorn could not be certain that these people would prioritize their relationship when they were presented with profits.
Due to Rail Thorn's lack of power, he always had to put on a display of weakness when he interacted with these supposed friends.
Now that he was being offered the chance at a new life, Rail Thorn was both excited and apprehensive.
Rail Thorn was also calculating Lin Yuan's chances of defeating the Star Pirate Alliance. After all, the Star Pirate Alliance had a terribly powerful faction supporting them! It was this faction that had established the Star Pirate Alliance and had been puppeteering them from the shadows.
However, this faction also brought the Star Pirate Alliance significant benefits.
This faction had always flown under the radar and never sent their main members to meet with the Star Pirate Alliance.
Yet, they sent two of their main members, as well as two devil groups, to this operation.
It was difficult for Rail Thorn to imagine this almighty Star Pirate Alliance being defeated!
If this young man could not defeat the Star Pirate Alliance, everything they did from now on would be meaningless!
"Do you have power above Domain Mountain/Pinnacle Holy Spirit? If you don't have such power, I suggest that you pay more attention to Treasure City's safety and do your best to break free in order to survive!
"I need a promise. You have to promise me that I will have the chance to fully wield my abilities. As long as you can promise this, I will tell you everything I know!"
Lin Yuan said softly, "I never lie. I don't need to lie to you. All you need to do is say whatever you know. We will be the ones to worry about whether we have the power to handle this crisis!
"Soon, the two void passageways will be destroyed, and our relationship with the star pirates will be swapped. If I didn't have enough power, I wouldn't have been able to find you from among all these spies!"
Despite Lin Yuan saying that, Rail Thorn still could not relax completely. He felt that Lin Yuan was bragging.
Ever since the two figures came to the Star Pirate Alliance and opened the two void passageways, they never intended to handle the repercussions.
Under the control of the Abyss Commanders, the two void passageways were already showing signs of evolving from pinnacle Class 3 to Class 4.
Given the circumstances, Holy Spirit strength was insufficient to handle the situation. Yet, this young man actually said that he was capable of making the three pinnacle Class 3 void passageways disappear!
But since Lin Yuan had given him his assurance, Rail Thorn could only tell Lin Yuan everything he knew.
With Genius personally taking notes, it took almost two hours to record everything.
Rail Thorn knew more than five times what the other spies knew. Thus, Lin Yuan now knew everything about these star pirates.
Lin Yuan said seriously, "You said that those two figures are likely more powerful than the Holy Spirit experts. Can you be sure of that?"
Rail Thorn shook his head. "I won't lie to you. I haven't had the chance to interact directly with those two figures. They haven't acted publicly, either.
"But one thing is for certain. They want to be present and order the Star Pirate Alliance to attack Treasure City because there is something there that they desperately want to get their hands on. But I don't know what it is they want."Fôllôw new stories at novelhall.com
