Chapter 315: Treacherous Sea

Upon hearing the order from the White Ghost, Stussy snapped awake.

In the next moment, the icy expression of the Queen of Pleasure Street hardened further. Gripping the hilt of the Brave's Dagger tightly, she walked over and frenziedly stabbed Mr. Fox several times in the chest and abdomen!

Splatter, splatter, splatter—

Dark red, viscous blood droplets sprayed, splattering across Stussy's delicate, fair face. Coupled with her merciless gaze, it was a scene of utter madness and corruption.

"Good! That's a wrap!"

Director Adrian nodded with satisfaction. The blonde actress's performance was indeed exceptional! Especially in this 'Whispers of the Red Night: Forty-Eight Strokes', every stab hit a vital spot on the man.

Adrian casually tossed a Den Den Mushi to Stussy, looking every bit like a generous patron.

Covered in blood, Stussy approached, her mind in turmoil, but eventually, she respectfully handed the Brave's Dagger back to the White Ghost instead of foolishly continuing her attack.

"Very good, I'm satisfied with you now, Miss Stussy."

Adrian wiped the blood off the short blade and sheathed it.

Then he reached out, pinching Stussy's delicate chin, forcing her to look up.

"Although such methods are crude, they suit you perfectly." Adrian stared deeply into the eyes of the Queen of Pleasure Street, speaking with cold cruelty.

"Agent, I need you to infiltrate an organization called 'CP0' and secretly gather all intelligence on CP0, the Celestial Dragons, the Five Elders, and Mary Geoise. Can you do that?"

Intimidated by the White Ghost's terrifying presence, Stussy trembled like a fragile rabbit, stammering out her response. "Y-Yes!"

"That's a good girl!" Adrian's expression softened instantly, like a spring breeze. He gently wiped a few drops of blood off Stussy's face with his thumb, smearing them into streaks.

"Even though I know what you're saying is likely a lie, I'm still pleased." Adrian waved his hand, his figure gradually disappearing from the room, leaving behind a goodnight wish.

"Sweet dreams, Miss Stussy."

After White Ghost vanished, Stussy's expression quickly returned to calm.

Standing alone on the room's floor, her pale fists clenched tightly, sharp nails piercing her palms, drawing blood.

Minutes later, following a series of footsteps, Stussy left the room.

And approximately five minutes later, the quiet room echoed with a man voice.

"Ow! That hurt like hell!"

Mr. Fox, who had almost turned cold as a corpse, miraculously revived and climbed off the floor. He clutched his chest wound, groaning in pain.

"That crazy woman, how could she be so ruthless!"

"And the White Ghost..."

Mr. Fox recalled the sensation of the blade piercing his heart. What should have been a fatal attack exploded beneath his skin.

It looked terrifying, it sounded terrifying, but didn't hit any vital organs.

Sensing the White Ghost's intention, Mr. Fox used his ability to feign death, suppressing even his heartbeat with the Life Return.

"Forget it, let's not dwell on such matters anymore!"

"On the contrary, this might actually be a good thing."

"After all, I've finally achieved a 'sacrifice'! It's a perfectly suitable and reasonable reason for retirement."

Just as Mr. Fox was fantasizing about his upcoming carefree retirement life...

"You're still alive, Mr. Fox!"

With that, the wooden door of the hotel room shattered by countless sharp air blades, splintering and filling the room with smoke.

"Stussy?!"

Mr. Fox was shocked. He had intentionally waited for Stussy to leave before dispelling his farce. Why would she return now?

Flying Finger Gun – Firefly!

Stussy didn't give Mr. Fox any time to react. She raised her finger and unleashed advanced martial arts. Invisible air bullets, mixed with Armament Haki, directly targeted Mr. Fox's position.

Stussy had no intention of showing mercy to this "former colleague" who had defected from the organization and knew about her own betrayal!

Hair Cage!

Mr. Fox's pupils contracted slightly as a large amount of black hair emerged from his body, instantly forming a 360-degree armor of black hair on the surface of his body, intercepting the incoming air bullets from the Flying Finger Gun.

Boom boom boom—

The invisible air bullets struck the black hair cage with deafening sounds, like a string of firecrackers going off.

"Stussy! Are you crazy? Aren't you afraid the White Ghost will come back?"

"Why should I be afraid?!"

Stussy sneered, her long legs continuously kicking out powerful Rankyaku slashes, forming a dense barrage.

"The one who should be afraid is the one who was supposed to be dead, isn't it?"

"What a joke! Just now—"

Mr. Fox frowned deeply, about to explain.

At that moment, an inexplicable anger rose in his heart, and he found the woman before him increasingly annoying.

The original intention to explain that the White Ghost had no intention of killing him was completely suppressed.

Now, Mr. Fox only wanted to beat up this annoying old woman, Stussy!

The two CP0 members, who had fought side by side earlier in the night, were now locked in a fierce battle.

Hidden in the shadows, Adrian silently retracted his Emotional Ghost interference ability.

Mr. Fox was his second line of defense against Stussy.

A CP0 member who had come back to life and sought a glorious retirement, only to witness her betrayal of the organization!

How could Stussy feel at ease?

Stussy's thoughts were exactly as Adrian had guessed.

Whether she would secretly cooperate with the White Ghost in the future was irrelevant. Such a highly private matter could not be detected by others, especially for a naturally cautious CP0 agent!

Feeling irritated, Stussy's attack speed increased even more.

Mr. Fox, while maintaining his Tekkai, continued to manipulate his hair against his opponent.

A scheming female agent and a man agent aware of her schemes.

Two people who could have reached a tacit understanding to coexist peacefully, were now caught in a violent conflict under the influence of various emotions, gradually fighting with genuine ferocity.

The second layer of the prisoner's dilemma was complete!

Hidden in the dark, Adrian silently enjoyed the spectacle of Stussy's fierce battle.

Indeed, the sea was perilous. He needed to stay vigilant in the future!
