Luke could feel Mrs. Tasia's distrust and hostility towards him.

He said: "Hanging pirates is the responsibility of the Imperial Navy and the Public Security Bureau. We are imperial agents and are only responsible for maintaining the security of the empire. We have our own standards for measuring who or what is endangering the security of the empire.

In my eyes, you... you are just fishermen."

"Fishermen? It seems that we are very inconspicuous existences in your eyes, Inspector Meteor."

At this time, Lambert's people brought dinner.

After Lambert personally set the plates for Luke and the four of them, he also asked a pirate to make a seat for him and sit on the side of the Secret Service.

Luke picked up the knife and fork and looked at the food on the plate.

Toast, fried fish fillets, buttered beef, and a pile of yellow mashed potatoes.

An oak cup was filled with foaming ale.

"It's very inconspicuous... I drive a few broken ships and wander on the route. When I encounter the navy and large merchant fleets, I stay away from them. I can only bully the lone merchant ships.

The reason why you abide by the Pirate Code is more because you are afraid of offending the Imperial Navy and encircling your Fishbone Island.

And judging from the way you dress and eat, it seems that your life is worse than that of the fishermen in our Cape District."

Luke's words prompted Lady Tasia to look at the pirates around her.

The clothes are in tatters and the food is devoured.

Life at sea is difficult, and clothes rot quickly due to seawater. It is difficult for pirates to obtain supplies, and many things cannot be bought with money. They often cannot eat fresh food for a long time.

If you just look at the way they dress and eat, they are really just like a group of beggars.

Lady Tasia was not offended by Luke's sarcasm.

She seemed to have a repulsive attitude, but in fact she had high expectations for this meeting.

From what Lambert said, this Secret Intelligence Service detective was...very different from other imperial officials.

If Yugu Island can establish a cooperative relationship with the Cape District Secret Intelligence Bureau, the living environment of its own ethnic group will definitely be improved a lot.

Luke was also sure that Mrs. Tasia didn't dare to do anything to him, so he dared to be so arrogant.

He knew what was going on on Fishbone Island, and since he had what they wanted, he could raise his profile a little higher.

Only in this way can you have an advantage in the subsequent negotiations.

Humph! I know what underwear you are wearing today... Why are you pretending to be a big-tailed wolf with me here?

Isn't it just pretentious?

In this field, you all have to call me daddy.

Luke looked at Mrs. Tasia with contempt.

Although Mrs. Tasia was restraining herself, Luke's words made all the pirates eating in the restaurant stop eating.

A fierce and murderous look came towards Luke, making Luke feel as if he was being targeted by a swarm of sharks.

Shelley, Pisco, and Kylena all watched these pirates warily, ready to fight.

At this time, a group of former members of the Crazy Ax Party came in one after another from the door. They were all arranged by Lambert to strengthen the detective.

For a time, the atmosphere in the restaurant became more tense.

Just coming in to help others, the pirates thought they were friendly troops cheering for them, and each one of them became even more arrogant.

Several pirates sitting with Mrs. Tasia slapped the table on Luke and wanted to curse.

But before they could stand up...

Someone shouted: "Protect the detective!"

All the members of the original Crazy Ax Gang showed their weapons at the same time and aimed them at the bewildered pirates.

The gang members waved their weapons and shouted: "Sit down! Sit down! Sit down! Be honest and continue to eat your food!"

Some pirates shouted to the familiar members of the original Crazy Ax Gang: "Brothers, we are one of our own..."

"It used to be, but not anymore! We are all Imperial agents now!

Show some respect in front of our detectives!"

The pirates are even more stupid.

Aren't you all members of the Crazy Ax Party? How come you've all become imperial agents!

Undercover?

This number is too much!

The entire gang are all undercover agents of the Secret Service?

The shouting and shouting in the restaurant disturbed the people outside. Whether they were former members of the Crazy Ax Party or friendly forces who had come to support them, they had all been "recruited" and became agents of the Cape District Secret Intelligence Bureau.

When our detective negotiates with pirates, it is of course a time to show off.

More people with weapons poured in from outside, surrounding the panicked pirates.

The scales on Mrs. Tasia's cheeks turned outwards, her eyes opened wider, and her vertical pupils shrank into a thin slit.

"Lambert, I need an explanation. Is this a trap for us?"

Lambert stood up and saluted Mrs. Tasia.

"I'm sorry, Mrs. Tasia. Just now, all my colleagues in the Wild Ax Party and I unanimously decided to accept the recruitment of Inspector Meteor and join the Cape District Secret Intelligence Bureau.

Now, we are the Second Ranger Team of the Cape District Secret Intelligence Bureau.

This is the headquarters of the Cape District Secret Intelligence Service Rangers.

Sitting in front of you is our Meteor Inspector. Next to you is Ms. Black Mamba, the captain of the Rangers of the Cape District Secret Service. This is Mr. Pisco, the captain of the first ranger of the Cape District Secret Service. I am

Captain of the 2nd Rangers.

The Cape District Secret Intelligence Bureau has given you the highest courtesy for this meeting.

And the behavior of you and your staff is extremely disrespectful.

Mrs. Tasia, it is not too late to correct your mistake..."

Mrs. Tasia did not expect that the headquarters of the Wild Ax Party would turn into a nest of the Cape District Secret Service in an instant.

Facing the pressure brought by so many "imperial agents", Lady Tasia had no choice but to straighten her snake body and bow down to Luke.

"Dear Inspector Meteor, please forgive me and my people for our slight and offense to you...

May Poseidon bless you!"

Mrs. Tasia looked sideways at the subordinates who followed her.

All the pirates immediately stood up, put away their arrogance, and saluted Luke respectfully.

"Inspector Meteor, may Poseidon bless you!"

"May Poseidon bless you..." Luke smiled and shouted to the pirates: "Little misunderstanding, friends from the sea, please sit down! Brothers from the Secret Service, please get out!

Let the guests continue eating, Mrs. Tasia and I have something to discuss."

"Yes, Detective."

The spies who rushed in gradually walked out.

The pirates also sat down carefully.

Luke said to Mrs. Tasia: "Is the situation on Fishbone Island very bad?"

Mrs. Tasia, who was still alert, stared at Luke and asked: "Do you know the situation on Fishbone Island?"

"I know a little, but I can guess." Luke cut off a piece of beef and ate it, and said: "The speed of ship replacement is too fast now. Soon there will be ships with pure steam turbines, and the hulls will be larger and faster.

It is faster and sailing no longer depends on the wind.

I heard that many countries are developing warships with full metal hulls.

Even now, many ships have metal armor plates installed below the waterline.
