They had been paying attention inside the battleship.
âBoss, itâs weird. According to the damage we caused to the merchant ship with the first blow, itâs impossible that we still havenât breached it after such a long time,â one of the core space pirates said.
âIt seems that this merchant ship is not as simple as imagined,â Boss stared at the merchant ship not far away and said meaningfully.
âThen what shall we do?â
âLetâs wait! If it still doesnât work after five minutes, then you peak Infinity Rankers should go and see whatâs wrong.â
âYes, Boss!â
Several of the space piratesâ cores at peak Infinity Rank replied at the same time.
The black battleship did not move, and the space pirates continued to attack After five minutes, the merchant ship was still in the same state as it was five minutes ago.
Nothing had changed Marlee and the others did not know what to say anymore.
This was also their first time encountering such a weird situation.
They obviously had only 1% of the defense power left, but it was not showing any signs of weakening after dozens of Universe Realm powerhouses attacked them for a full eight minutes.
In other words, this group of space pirates weakened nearly 40% of the merchant shipâs defense in about 20 minutes.
However, they could not do anything to the last remaining 1% after 8 minutes.
âI donât understand.
âCould it be that the family quietly remodeled this merchant ship and greatly strengthened its defense?
âThis is the only possibility!
âWe have no other explanation.
âBut does the family have such means?â
Even Marlee, the top three core seniors of the Jung family, did not even know about it.
âIt seems that the family was still not ready for me to integrate into the family and was always guarding against me!
Marlee thought to herself.
In any case, the fact that the merchant ship had not been breached was great news for the people on the merchant ship.
It did not matter whether it was the Jung family members or someone whom Marlee hired with a lot of money, none of them would want to risk their lives if they could avoid facing the space pirates.
âMiss Jung, w-whatâs going on?â Someone expressed the doubt he had in his heart.
He was not the only one who had such questions, everyone was wondering the same.
âYou donât have to be in awe, everyone. This is one of the backup methods arranged by the Jung family. This shipment carries all of the Jung familyâs hope. Naturally, we have taken into account various situations and made preparations,â Marlee replied calmly.
She did not really know the source of the protection.
However, as the person in charge of this merchant ship, Marlee could not show ignorance like everyone else.
Her words reassured everyone present.
âI see! Why didnât you say it sooner, Miss Jung? We were worried for so long and we thought we would have to fight to the death with these space pirates!â
âYeah, Miss Jung, you were so unreasonable. We all thought we were going to die today.â
The two who spoke were the mid-Infinity Rankers hired by the Jung family at a huge price.
âSince this is a backup plan, I definitely couldnât use it until the last moment. You have collected so much money, so you should have considered all kinds of accidents.â Marlee replied calmly.
âOf course, we know that. We were ready to fight just now, but Miss Jung, How long can the last one percent of defense power last? And what level of attack can it block? The core figures of the space pirates have not yet come out, and according to the current situation, they will definitely not be able to sit still âSorry, this is one of the Jung familyâs secrets, so I canât tell you. You just have to wait patiently. If they canât break it, everything will be fine for us. If they break it, we can only fight to the death.â
âMiss Jung, you should at least let us be mentally prepared. If you are so secretive, how can we work together to fight those space pirates, am I right?â
âThatâs right! Miss Jung, this matter concerns our life, so please tell us the truthâ¦â
Everyone who was hired to be here started to make noise.
Although the Jung family members did not speak, they also wanted to know.
