When Andy returned to the town, he discovered an interesting phenomenon.
Many people in town were discussing the curse, saying that the terrifying curse had reappeared, and some swore they had seen the strange flames.
For a time, the entire town began to panic, believing that those who entered the Forbidden Area had triggered the curse again.
However, they dared not speak of this, because the people who entered the Forbidden Area included the Marine, World Government officials, and… Celestial Dragons!
The most crucial thing was that with the curse's resurgence, they felt that those who entered the Forbidden Area, including the Celestial Dragons, were likely doomed.
After returning to the inn, he took a shower and came out to find that Kalifa had already returned, quite efficiently.
Seeing Andy come out, Kalifa quickly stood up and went to him, asking, "Andy, we just contacted the Marine and CP Agents stationed at the port, and they can't reach anyone who entered the forest. Did you make your move?"
After speaking, Kalifa stared intently at Andy, her eyes full of anticipation.
However, Andy's expression turned displeased after Kalifa finished speaking. He said coldly, "Kalifa, you seem to have forgotten the priority of things. I am your master now."
Hearing Andy's words and his indifferent tone, Kalifa's heart skipped a beat, but she quickly reacted.
"I'm sorry, Andy. I've investigated thoroughly. Two pirate crews should be docking at Chronos Forest soon," Kalifa said immediately.
Andy frowned, then asked, "Only two? And roughly when will they reach Chronos Forest?"
Seeing that Andy was no longer angry, Kalifa breathed a sigh of relief and replied:
"Because news of Osrian Saint's arrival at Chronos Forest appeared in the newspapers, many pirate crews don't want to go to Chronos Forest at this time.
As for the two pirate crews I mentioned, they departed before this news spread. Based on time estimates, they will arrive tomorrow."
Then she introduced the total bounty of both pirate crews to Andy one by one.
One pirate crew, including the Captain, had 5 wanted cadres, but their combined bounty was only 168 million Berries.
However, the other pirate crew had 7 wanted cadres, with a total bounty of 236 million Berries, and the Captain of this pirate crew seemed to have some connection to Chronos Forest.
This made Andy very satisfied.
When these two pirate crews dock tomorrow and he gets their bounty points, he can strengthen himself again.
"Alright~ I understand," Andy responded indifferently, then turned and walked towards the room. He had just showered and hadn't put on a shirt yet.
"That… Andy, you haven't told me about the situation in the forest yet," Kalifa asked quickly as she saw Andy about to enter the room.
"It's all handled. Oh, by the way, Kalifa." Andy stopped, turned, and looked at Kalifa, "Do you want to get rid of those still at the port? It would be very easy."
"That's great! Thank you, Andy, but there's no need for those at the port. Keeping them is more useful, otherwise, if they all die, the World Government will focus their attention on us CP9," Kalifa said somewhat happily.
"Boring, you guys can play yourselves," Andy waved his hand dismissively and then entered the room.
"Then… Andy, I need to go out again," Kalifa called into the room, but there was no response.
Kalifa took it as Andy's default and immediately left the inn, heading towards Lucci's group.
Upon arriving at Lucci's group, Kalifa informed everyone that Andy had already dealt with the people in the forest.
"The first and second steps have been completed. Now, we just need to publicize the matter as much as possible towards the curse. The World Government's investigators should arrive very soon as well," Lucci said in a deep voice.
"Then… do we still need to go in? What about the timber…" Jabra asked.
"Of course, we have to go in, but we need to wait until the World Government's investigators leave. If we go in now and come out safely, we'll be under suspicion," Lucci said indifferently.
"I think so too, Kalifa, you should go back first. From the current situation, Red Hawk is very likely to be our fallback in the future," Kaku said, looking at Kalifa.
The truth about Osrian Saint's matter might be exposed in the future, and when that happens, their CP9 will definitely be investigated by the World Government.
Thinking of this, Kaku cursed the damned Spandam. If he hadn't sent their CP9 here, they wouldn't have encountered this situation.
It was also fortunate that Red Hawk took a liking to Kalifa, otherwise, if they were implicated by Osrian Saint, they might also be dealt with by Red Hawk.
Kalifa nodded at Kaku. She understood Kaku's meaning, and the possibility of exposure in the future was very high because Andy had already obtained that fruit.
When Andy uses that fruit's ability and the World Government sees her by Andy's side, they will naturally associate their CP9 with this incident.
By the time she returned to the inn, it was already night. Andy's door was open, and she heard light snoring coming from the room.
Then she also lay down on the sofa in the living room.

The next morning, just as the sun rose, Andy was awakened by a burst of noise.
"Kalifa, what's going on with those Marine outside? Don't they know this time disturbs one's sleep? I really want to slaughter all of them!" Andy came out, speaking with morning grumpiness.
"Andy, don't kill them yet. They still have some use. They've already reported the situation here, and the World Government and Marine's investigation units will arrive very soon. They're clearing the streets to welcome the investigators," Kalifa said quickly.
She was truly afraid that Andy would directly act and eliminate all the Marine and CP Agents outside.
"But I'm very angry right now, Kalifa, what do you say we do about this?" Andy asked, his face full of rage.
Kalifa gritted her teeth and finally made a decision: "I'll feed you breakfast later, in the way you mentioned!"
"Really? I didn't force you, did I?" The anger on Andy's face instantly vanished, as if his earlier anger was fake.
"Really!" Kalifa responded through gritted teeth.
"That's truly wonderful! I'll go take a shower first, then I'll enjoy your feeding service after I come out," Andy said with a smile.
Immediately after, he walked into the bathroom.
Kalifa looked towards the bathroom, lightly biting her teeth, a sense of humiliation appearing on her delicate, pretty face.
"Isn't it just being a maid? It's very easy!" Kalifa seemed to be cheering herself on, then found a sexy maid outfit from her suitcase.
When Andy came out, he was very happy to see Kalifa had already changed her clothes.
He was finally enjoying Kalifa's version of maid service. Kalifa's expression, trying to maintain her dignity yet having no choice but to feed Andy, truly made him unable to stop.
