Chapter 692

Keira glanced nervously at Lewis upon hearing Erin's words. Lewis's lips curled into a faint smile.

Realizing that Lewis must have already made arrangements with the pirates of the Trident Strait, Keira understood that they would likely release Professor Barry Brandt.

Seeing the two of them so relaxed, Erin grew more anxious. "You need to inform the higher-ups immediately! This is serious! I've dealt with the Trident Strait's King before—he doesn't respond to reason."

Keira raised an eyebrow. "King?"

Erin nodded. "Yes, their leader is called King. He's a notorious pirate who took control of the Trident Strait five years ago. His crew is formidable, and he's known for his ruthless methods."

She leaned in and whispered to Keira, "If you can build a good relationship with King, it could significantly boost your chances for the successor position!"

Keira fixed her gaze on Erin. "So you're actually helping me rather than being a rival."

Erin looked puzzled. "What are you talking about?"
