818: Chapter 818: I’m Not That Great 818: Chapter 818: I’m Not That Great As the sun rose over the ocean’s surface, a dozen small boats were speeding toward the cruise ship.
Those with keen eyes could see that each of these boats flew a high pirate flag adorned with a skull, and each boat had seven or eight pirates either sitting or standing, ard with a variety of weapons, so of which were heavy assault weapons powerful enough to pose a significant threat to the cruise ship.
The small boats were very fast and soon approached the cruise ship, then dispersed to both sides, encircling the ship.
One man on a boat raised a gaphone and began to shout at the cruise ship in English, while occasionally pirates fired their guns into the air as a warning.
Seeing that real pirates were attacking, the passengers on the cruise ship instantly fell into chaos, with so screaming and others crying.
So passengers found it strange since this route had always been very safe, with very few incidents of pirate attacks, questioning why so many pirate ships had suddenly appeared.
“Ladies and gentlen, I have very unfortunate news to share, we are surrounded by pirate ships!”
Neo, the cruise ship’s owner, quickly appeared before the passengers, his face showing grief and anger.
“Neo, isn’t the cruise ship equipped with a lot of weapons?
Get your crew to take up arms and drive those despicable pirates away!”
A passenger shouted loudly, and other passengers began to voice their agreent.
Seeing the passengers’ fervor, Neo exchanged glances with several of his subordinates and then shouted loudly, “Alright, I’ll lead so n to fight the pirates myself!
I hope we can drive them away!
Ladies and gentlen, please stay here and don’t move to avoid being hit by stray bullets!”
After speaking, Neo left a few of his n to comfort the passengers and led so others to rush out.
Soon, the passengers on the cruise ship could hear loud gunshots outside; clearly, the crewn had engaged the pirates in a gunfight.
Hearing the gunshots, the passengers were even more panicked.
So clasped their hands together, murmuring prayers silently hoping that the pirates would be driven away.
Although most of the passengers on board had bodyguards, their bodyguards were not very skilled and unable to effectively dodge bullets, so they wisely stayed by their employers’ sides, and dared not venture out to help fight the pirates.
The sound of gunfire lasted for a while before suddenly stopping, so passengers heard the pirates start to shout again.
Many passengers on the cruise ship understood English and after listening for a while, they finally understood the pirates’ intentions.
It turned out that the pirates were not attacking the cruise ship to kill and rob, but to demand a woman nad Lin Yu be handed over to them, after which they would leave.
“Who is Lin Yu?”
The passengers wondered, glancing around.
Although the passengers did not know what conflict existed between the pirates and Lin Yu on the cruise ship, trading one person to save everyone’s lives was undoubtedly a deal worth considering.
“I know who Lin Yu is!
She’s the woman sitting next to Li Jinlin!
She’s Li Jinlin’s bodyguard!”
Zhao Shengshi suddenly pointed out Hu Baii, shouting from a corner of the restaurant.
Hearing this, the passengers’ eyes were all drawn to Hu Baii, who was disguised as Lin Yu.
At that mont, Hu Baii was sitting with Fang Bai and Linghu Qianjiao at a dining table, enjoying their breakfast as if the pirate attack happening outside had nothing to do with them.
Suddenly, Neo, along with a few of his n, retreated into the restaurant, looking very bedraggled.
“Mr.
Neo, what happened outside?”
a passenger asked.
“The pirates are too nurous and their firepower is fierce, and we are almost out of ammunition…
it looks bad!”
Neo said, looking dejected.
“Then…
what do we do?
If the pirates board the cruise, will they kill all of us?”
A passenger asked, his voice trembling.
Neo said, “The pirates just announced that they do not intend to kill anyone, they just want a woman nad Lin Yu.
As long as we hand over Lin Yu, the pirates will retreat.
Otherwise…
we might all die…”
As soon as he finished speaking, a hush fell over the dining room, and once again, the passengers’ gazes fell on Linghu Baii, as the pirates’ shouting from outside beca even clearer.
“Miss Lin, my entire family is on this cruise.
If the pirates co on board, they will kill us.
Please…
please…
save us…
save us…”
A female passenger suddenly rushed to Linghu Baii’s side, knelt in front of her, and began crying and pleading.
“Hah…”
Linghu Baii sneered and, with a mocking look, asked the woman, “You an, let step forward voluntarily and let the pirates take , so you all can be spared?”
The female passenger nodded repeatedly.
“Why should I do that?”
Linghu Baii said, annoyed.
The woman paused and then cried, “I know…
I know it’s selfish of , but…
but just one person, you, can save so many of our lives!”
Linghu Baii curled her lips and said, “Sacrifice myself for others?
Hah…
I’m not that noble!
Besides, what do your lives have to do with ?”
The female passenger was at a loss for words and continued to cry, lowering her head.
Her words, in fact, represented the sentints of most of the passengers present.
Hearing Linghu Baii refuse to exchange her life for those of others, so passengers appeared visibly anxious.
Pirates are usually brutally vicious; if they were to board the ship, these wealthy passengers would likely face death.
Zhao Shengshi pointed at Linghu Baii and shouted, “If we hand over this woman, we can all survive!
Let’s not hesitate anymore, let’s subdue her and hand her over to the pirates!”
Zhao Shengshi’s words resonated with many passengers onsite; the eyes of the male passengers on Linghu Baii had already turned bloodshot as they clenched their fists, ready to spring into action.
The female passengers also looked at Linghu Baii with hostility, believing she had brought them bad luck.
For a mont, nearly all passengers were united in their resentnt towards Linghu Baii.
“Miss Lin, it seems the consensus is clear, we have to impose on you!”
Seeing the passengers agitated, Neo, along with a few of his n, walked up to Linghu Baii and pointed a gun at her.
“Mr.
Fang, I almost feel like killing soone, what should I do?”
Linghu Baii ignored Neo and looked across at Fang Bai, transmitting her ssage to Fang Bai through the Thread Condensation Sound Transmission Technique.
After advancing to a Heaven Level Expert, Linghu Baii had easily mastered the Thread Condensation Sound Transmission Technique.
“Now is not the ti to kill.”
Fang Bai similarly responded to Linghu Baii with the Thread Condensation Sound Transmission Technique and then said, “Let handle this!”
He stood up, gazing directly at Neo, and said lightly, “Mr.
Neo, Lin Yu is my bodyguard.
It’s not quite right for you to move against her without my permission, is it?”
