There were gunshots and grenades on the ship, and the captain, even if he hadn’t been paying attention, had co to realize sothing was wrong.
But just as he was gathering the crew and preparing to call for help through satellite phone and radio, he discovered that everyone around him, starting with the first mate, was with the other side!
Except for himself and a few of his legitimate line, all the crew mbers were ard personnel!
In this situation, the captain and those few legitimate line of his were quickly subdued.
anwhile, so alert passengers who were having fun on the ship also sensed sothing amiss and started to hide.
The entire ship is vast, and to search it one by one is quite challenging.
However, ard personnel were already stationed at key points, making the tourists like fish in a barrel.
"These people outside are well-equipped, many wearing crew uniforms. The entire ship should be under their control. Although I’ve cut off so surveillance, it’s only a matter of ti before they find us."
Long Wu briefly gathered intelligence and returned to the room where Gao Jin was temporarily hiding.
Gambling God Gao Jin, along with his disciple Chen Daozai, were both here.
Gao Jin, after all, is the Gambling God, having faced many challenges and needing to maintain a supre ntal advantage in gas. So even in such situations, he remains exceptionally calm.
"I don’t have that much influence. This ti, both Huang Shihu and I have been used as bait to lure more wealthy people here. Perhaps they won’t find it necessary to specifically seek us out."
"Master, what should we do now?"
Chen Daozai was slightly agitated.
"I rember that not long ago, Little Duke boarded this ship, and right after he ca on board, he made his move. Not waiting for the auction or our gambling session to start, there must be a reason for this."
Gao Jin said thoughtfully.
"You an Little Duke is with them?"
Chen Daozai was startled.
"I an they’re afraid Little Duke will ruin their plans. Don’t forget those videos from the jewelry heist; anyway, I didn’t see any signs of forgery."
"If that video is real, perhaps this can also solve the issue."
Chen Daozai felt slightly relieved.
"I think it’s not that simple. They know Little Duke is on board and still make a move, so they probably have a trump card."
Gao Jin’s judgnt of such trump cards is extrely keen, relying mainly on absolute ntal stability rather than gambling techniques.
At this ti, the ship’s broadcast echoed with the captain’s sowhat helpless voice.
"We now invite the guests whose nas are called to gather in the banquet hall, otherwise if we have to invite you ourselves, so unpleasant things might happen..."
Nas of various rich people were called, including Gao Jin, Huang Shihu, and the gambling elite like Ferrari.
"Please cooperate, as ultimately we will carry out the transfer and blow up the ship; if you choose to continue hiding, please think it over thoroughly."
The ntion of blowing up the ship caused a stir throughout many areas of the ship, even making Gao Jin’s face slightly more serious.
"He’s probably not bluffing, and the captain might be a bit helpless too."
"What now?"
"When soldiers co, we’ll defend; when water cos, we’ll cover with earth. If they’re inviting us out, then let’s go..."
This is at sea, all within this iron coffin, and blowing up the ship makes their skills seem aningless.
It wasn’t just Gao Jin who made this choice; Huang Shihu and his wife, as well as Ferrari, along with many other wealthy people, also went to the banquet hall.
Although there were quite a few bodyguards on the scene, there really wasn’t any ability to resist; the equipnt and personnel weren’t of the sa caliber, and there was also the threat of blowing up the ship.
However, this group of ard personnel seed rather polite, unless defied, there wasn’t much violence.
McDonald’s, a retired U.S. major, stood on the podium, smiling brightly and said.
"Welco all guests for arriving, and thank you all for giving us face. But rest assured, we are only here for money. As long as everyone cooperates, your safety isn’t a concern, and we’re not greedy—we won’t take all your wealth. The goods here, plus so ransom money, will suffice to release everyone..."
McDonald’s words did help many rich people breathe a little easier.
Rich people cherish their lives, though if all their assets were exchanged for life, it would feel as bad as death to many, but if it’s just for part of their wealth to spare their lives, most tend to accept it, and relatively speaking, it’s quite a good result!
"However, it’s a pity that our dear guest Duke of Sutherland still hasn’t shown up, which is really a sha."
McDonald’s checked the ti and sighed seeing Tao Yu hadn’t appeared.
"In that case, other passengers without value can only regretfully be thrown into the sea."
As he spoke, he placed a screen on the podium, showing so footage.
At this point, on the deck, several ard personnel had already brought so ordinary travelers nearby, selected as low-value individuals to serve as a warning to others.
Through the deck caras, we could also see so ard dinghies patrolling near the cruise ship, evidencing that their talk of transferring and blowing up the ship is not re words.
"Originally, if everyone cooperated, these ordinary people wouldn’t have died; now we can only apologize."
McDonald’s spoke hypocritically, then picked up a walkie-talkie.
