"Ha! You are just a dog of darling's subordinates, yet you dare to threaten darling? Do you believe that I will turn you into stone right now!"
Facing Stella's complaints, Vegapunk hadn't said anything yet, but Hancock couldn't stand it first. She looked at Stella with a cold face and threatened her without hesitation.
Stella herself was not someone to be trifled with, but facing Hancock's threat, her face turned pale, her whole body trembled, she was covered in cold sweat, and she was tottering.
There was no way around it; as Hancock spoke, she also slightly emitted the killing intent unique to Chakra, mixed with her own Conqueror's Haki.
With Hancock's current strength, even when facing the Four Emperors, this kind of mental attack, which was a mix of Conqueror's Haki and Chakra, could make them lose focus for a moment, so the impact and damage caused to Stella were naturally greater.
The trembling Stella even had nine huge tails wildly waving behind her, and her eyes turned into beast-like pupils—that was the power of the "artificial Mythical Zoan Type Devil Fruit: Nine-Tailed Fox Fruit" that Vegapunk gave her!
However, as Vegapunk gently took Hancock's hand, the killing intent erupting from Hancock's body immediately subsided. Her face flushed, and she leaned into Vegapunk's arms as if she were a young girl who had just fallen in love.
"Alright! Stella is my important subordinate, Hancock, just calm down."
"Hmph, for darling's sake, I'll let you off today! Remember, don't be disrespectful to darling next time!"
Stella, covered in cold sweat, retracted her Devil Fruit ability. Even though she was cursing Hancock in her heart with words like "loyal dog bitch," she remained respectful on the surface, agreeing with a submissive look.
Vegapunk had a headache; Hancock was just creating enemies for him... It would be one thing if it were others, but Stella could be considered his confidant, yet Hancock still had this attitude...
Forget it, anyway, he couldn't change Hancock's personality. No matter how obsessed and in love Hancock was with him, her arrogance and disregard for others had long been ingrained in her bones. He couldn't change it even if he wanted to, so it was better to let her leave quickly!
Reaching out and patting Hancock's ample rear, Vegapunk spoke:
"Alright, I have some things I need to discuss with Stella, um... and Kozuki Toki, in private. Hancock, you go down first!"
An unhappy expression appeared on Hancock's face, but when it came to serious matters, Hancock never dared to mess around with Vegapunk, so she still obediently left.
A moment later, only Stella, Kozuki Toki dressed in a maid outfit, and Nico Robin, who looked like she was watching a show, were left in the room.
Nico Robin looked calm and composed, like a bystander eating melon seeds. Kozuki Toki lowered her head, feeling incredibly nervous. Stella, on the other hand, was not afraid at all; on the contrary, even though the cold sweat on her body hadn't dried yet, she still licked the corner of her mouth and threw a flirtatious glance at Vegapunk.
"Making Hancock leave... Could it be that you, Boss, want to have something happen between us? Hehe, looking at your handsome appearance now, Boss, I'm actually feeling a bit itchy!"
Rolling his eyes, Vegapunk ignored Stella's dirty joke:
"This time, Stella, you helped me stabilize Umbrella Corporation, so I definitely have to give you some rewards!"
As he spoke, Vegapunk had already taken out a light green test tube from his portable space. The wall of the test tube was drawn with various Sealing Formulas. Despite this, a faint, pure life aura was still continuously emanating from it, causing Stella's spirit to tremble slightly.
"This is the Perfect Sage Body modification serum I created. What? You ask what a Perfect Sage is? You don't need to think too much about that; I'm just telling you its effects!"
"This modification serum can allow you to possess a power called Chakra. With the help of Chakra, you can control the five elemental powers of water, fire, earth, wind, and lightning, and at the same time possess a series of abilities such as walking on water and enhancing physical strength..."
"Of course, most importantly, it can also allow you to possess a Sage Body. A Sage Body can give you powerful vitality and self-healing ability, manipulate plant growth, as well as extend your lifespan and keep you forever young!"
When talking about the previous abilities, Stella's eyes had already lit up, and upon hearing the eight words "extend lifespan, keep forever young," her eyes shone even brighter, and she completely threw herself at him.
After a passionate, long kiss, Stella, holding the test tube in her hand with a grin, felt that powerful vitality and said quite happily:
"Thank you! Boss! You better leave the door open for me tonight so I can come over and properly repay you!"
