It was clear that Lady Catri. Foc was supremely confident in her assets, and sensing Fang Senyan's reaction, she subtly parted her two beautiful, long legs and pressed her body against him, locking her thighs onto his strong ones. In that instant, even through the thin layers of clothing, Fang Senyan distinctly felt the tantalizing depression at the base of her thighs! This sudden stimulation ignited an immediate urge in him to rip off her clothes and pounce.

But at that very moment, a flash of vicious intent crossed Lady Catri. Foc’s eyes. She bent her right knee and drove it upward forcefully toward Fang Senyan's groin! This woman clearly understood a man's vulnerability; a blow like that, especially when a man is already aroused, would most likely cause him to clutch his lower body, eyes bulging, face flushed crimson, and drop into a crouch. It would take several minutes to recover, and for a man with weaker constitution, immediate death was not out of the question!

With a resounding thud, the woman struck him squarely. Fang Senyan's face instantly turned ashen, and a fine sheen of cold sweat broke out on his forehead. Yet, the hand gripping her did not loosen in the slightest; instead, with a sharp smack, a slap flew across her face! This clearly showed the immense utility of Fang Senyan's innate abilities, which had managed to preserve the basic integrity of his lower half.

Fang Senyan had put his full strength into that slap. Swollen marks shaped like fingers immediately appeared on Lady Catri. Foc's face. Half her face felt numb, her left ear was ringing, and it even felt slightly itchy. She opened her mouth to scream but discovered that two of her white teeth, mixed with saliva and blood, had been knocked loose.

Only then did Fang Senyan release the hand holding her, but by then, Lady Catri. Foc was utterly incapable of escaping. She instinctively and blankly clutched her left cheek, falling to her knees, tears streaming down her face. Fang Senyan instantly moved behind her, grabbing hold of her mass of fluffy, golden-blonde hair, and leaned in to whisper in a tone that was deceptively intimate:

"Your outing this time was to meet a lover, so you certainly wouldn't tell anyone your destination, and the location you chose would be utterly secluded! Therefore, you cannot expect anyone to rescue you anytime soon, nor will there be any witnesses. So, if you die, your body will take a very long time to be discovered. More importantly... I will tear off the necklace left by Jack Sparrow's grandmother and press it into your hand, while Jack himself carries your valuable pearl ring. Everyone will believe that Jack raped and murdered you before robbing you, never suspecting my involvement!"

"You... you madman! What do you want? I beg you, don't kill me, I'll agree to anything you ask!" Lady Catri. Foc finally cried out! Though she was malicious and scheming, she was, after all, just a woman. The immense fear of death had her firmly in its grasp, making even breathing a difficult struggle!

Fang Senyan's right hand clamped down cruelly on her long, pale neck from behind, and he stated coldly:

"Though the pirates are starting to realize that Port Royal is strong in appearance but weak within, they have secured enough spoils from the Spanish, so their greedy appetites are temporarily satisfied, and they are unlikely to start a war anytime soon. This does not suit my interests at all. Therefore, your death is the perfect fuse—the son of the Black Pearl's captain has raped and murdered the wife of Port Royal's governor—even if the respected young Lord Foc is the reincarnation of a coward, he will absolutely declare war!"

"So, please... die!" As the final word left his lips, Fang Senyan applied force, brutally twisting the head of this noble lady, who possessed both sex appeal and beauty, a full one hundred and eighty degrees! Since she was facing away from Fang Senyan, her current position was a gruesome alignment suggesting a broken neck, effectively suffocating her scream in her throat! Fang Senyan could clearly see the terror and disbelief swimming in those beautiful eyes staring back at him!

Fang Senyan released his grip, and Lady Catri. Foc’s corpse slumped lifelessly to the ground. Simultaneously, a foul odor reached Fang Senyan's nostrils. He frowned to discover a yellowish, murky, viscous fluid slowly oozing out from the base of the sexy beauty's pert rear—she had clearly lost control of her bowels before death. Fang Senyan hastily arranged the body, naturally including some scene fabrication. Just as he was about to turn and leave, a prompt from the Nightmare Mark appeared:

"You have killed a key plot character (B-rank): Lady Catri. Foc." "Your action will have a certain impact on the world plot." "You have gained 1 Merit Point." "Your reputation among pirates has increased by 300 points. Do you choose to make this public? Yes/No." "If you choose Yes, every person in this world who knows of this event will bring you +10 Pirate Reputation."

Fang Senyan froze momentarily. He suddenly realized that selecting "Yes" would result in an overwhelmingly terrifying reputation reward! It was easy to imagine that at least all the pirates here and everyone in Port Royal would be intensely interested and gossiping about this event—there were over a thousand pirates on this island alone! Add in the merchants and residents of Port Royal, and that was at least three thousand people! This meant a staggering thirty thousand points of reputation increase among pirates...

What did thirty thousand reputation points mean? It meant Fang Senyan's standing among pirates would immediately elevate to be on par with figures like Armand, making him instantly a core figure among the younger generation of Caribbean pirates! He could even summon a large contingent of followers with a single shout in a tavern, and gain access to much deeper intelligence within this world! He would obtain permission to purchase various props and equipment in ports around the world!

But immense gain meant immense risk. Once this matter became public, it meant Fang Senyan would be irrevocably set on a path completely opposed to Port Royal. Furthermore, Fang Senyan's list of enemies would now include the incomparably formidable protagonist, Jack Sparrow, and the direct hostility of the Black Pearl, the flagship of the three great legendary pirate fleets! Given Fang Senyan's current strength, his chance of death would be over ninety-nine percent.

Fang Senyan took a slow breath, closed his eyes, and still chose "No," settling for the 300 reputation points and finishing the matter. In truth, if he hadn't seized the opportunity of Lady Catri. Foc meeting her lover by sheer coincidence, killing this woman would have been no less difficult than breaking into the Syphtine Corporation headquarters in the Terminator world for a heist! Because this woman moved about freely within the Port Royal castle, always surrounded by numerous guards. Being able to kill her openly would be akin to completely conquering Port Royal.

Perhaps because the intangible benefits associated with this woman were so great, the key she dropped was not of a high tier. It only yielded a necklace pendant called Sally's Dream, a white item with no discernible attributes. Valued at two hundred General Points, Fang Senyan unhesitatingly sold it through the Nightmare Mark. Items found on the deceased were notoriously hot potatoes; if discovered, they could easily lead to being caught red-handed.

However, although Sally's Dream appeared to be a white item, it was actually a crucial quest item. A team like the one Cree belonged to previously had received this quest. If Fang Senyan had known this information, they would have had to grit their teeth and pay ten thousand General Points for it. Unfortunately, Fang Senyan was unaware of this news, and even if he had known, he likely would have chosen to sell it immediately anyway. This was because of the existence of the "Divination" skill in this world. Who could guarantee that no one else in the Port Royal castle knew Divination? Even without Diviners, there was the prevalent Black Magic, and Divination and Black Magic often used the deceased's relics as mediums. It was difficult to guarantee that some targeted clue wouldn't eventually point toward Fang Senyan, who possessed the necklace. Thus, to avoid future complications, Fang Senyan would still have painfully sold it to cover his tracks.

Fang Senyan meticulously cleaned the scene, then hurriedly stripped off his clothes and retreated toward the sea, swimming several nautical miles along the coastline before coming ashore again. He did this to avoid being tracked by any potential hunting dogs. When he returned to the bonfire site, most of the pirates were slightly intoxicated after heavy drinking and revelry, barely noticing the person passing by. It wasn't until Fang Senyan sat back down near the fire that the pirate next to him, holding a wineskin, mumbled fuzzily:

"W-water~~First Mate, where~~~hic~~~where did you go? Heard you killed the Withered Corpse, several people were looking~~~looking for you."

Fang Senyan's heart skipped a beat. "Who?"

The pirate took another swig from the wineskin and was about to speak when he suddenly tipped over backward, falling flat with a loud snore, clearly having passed out drunk.

At that moment, a strange pirate beside him cast an admiring glance toward Fang Senyan, then spoke respectfully:

"Esteemed Mr. Yan, this is Pudak, a sailor from the Flying Dutchman. He said their Second Mate, Old Barry, is very interested in your heroic actions and wishes to speak with you in person. Then Vackert from the Queen Anne's Revenge brought a message, saying their Captain Blackbeard invites you for a chat."
