NOVPUB"Hahaha! Brother Gang, all these people are the wealthy youths of Liuhai City. We’ve hit the jackpot this time!"
A yellow-skinned pirate among them said as he looked at the people cowering and squatting on the ground.
Indeed, he spoke in the Huaxia language, which everyone could understand.
"Nonsense! After finishing this job, we won’t have to worry for the rest of our lives!" replied the man called Brother Gang.
"Hahahaha!!!"
The pirates burst into wild laughter, discussing in their cryptic language.
However, there were also many Huaxia individuals among the pirates.
They eagerly discussed where to go and have fun after this job was done, regardless of everyone else.
A few minutes later, more than ten fully-armed pirates came down from upstairs.
"Report to Brother Gang, the search is complete, three have been killed, and the ship is now under our control," one of the pirates reported seriously.
Upon hearing that three people had been killed, the wealthy youths squatting on the ground trembled with fear.
Thankfully, they had heeded the pirates’ command to gather in the hall, otherwise, they definitely would have been among the dead.
"Hello, everyone. We don’t want to hurt you. Just cooperate, and there won’t be any problems," Brother Gang scanned the crowd and said, "If you dare resist, this will be your fate!"
Brother Gang said, pointing at Uncle Fu lying in a pool of blood.
No one dared to speak; they hugged their heads, desperately trying to squeeze further inside.
Most of them were born with a silver spoon and wouldn’t dare to gamble with their lives by risking it all, even if it meant losing all their family’s wealth.
"All right, everyone stand up. Get ready to disembark. Once your families send the money, you can go back," Brother Gang said, his smile growing brighter as he saw everyone cooperating nicely.
Boom!
Just as everyone stood up, a part of the wall suddenly burst open, sending dust and wood splinters flying everywhere.
Among the splinters, two figures slowly stood up.
Everyone saw that one of them was Ouyang Lingtian, and the other, a tall man in tight clothes, was clearly with the pirates.
"Enemy attack, gear up!" Brother Gang, seeing someone rush in, immediately yelled, and dozens of pirates aimed their guns at the intruders.
"Stop your weapons!" the tall man commanded from within the dust in an obscure language.
Upon hearing the man’s words, the pirates lowered their guns.
"Huh, it’s actually him…" Xia Liu muttered upon seeing the man’s face clearly.
"Xia Liu, you know that pirate leader?" Lin Yazhi asked quietly when she heard Xia Liu’s murmurs.
Fang Fei also looked at Xia Liu with confusion, unable to comprehend how he could possibly know the pirate.
"Not friends; I’ve seen him a few times before. He’s more like an arch-enemy," Xia Liu said bitterly.
"Arch-enemy!" Fang Fei and Lin Yazhi exclaimed in surprise. If the pirate leader saw Xia Liu, wouldn’t he be killed on the spot…
"Hahaha! Worthy of being the King of Soldiers from the Heaven Slaying Troops, you are very strong!"
"Otte! I advise you to leave quickly. I’ll pretend nothing happened," Ouyang Lingtian glared at the tall man.
Indeed, Ouyang Lingtian had seen this man in the files.
Otte, a leading mercenary from abroad. His Otte Mercenary Corps was well-known in various countries around the world.
The Otte Corps consisted of hundreds of men, each battle-hardened. Ouyang Lingtian couldn’t even begin to imagine.
If this entire Mercenary Corps came over, without support, they would sweep across the entire sea area.
And as the leader, Otte was rumored to be an extremely formidable expert.

Perhaps out of respect for the strong, Otte decided to duel Ouyang Lingtian, and now the two were intensely locked in battle.
"Oh? I come and go as I please," Otte said with a naive smile.
"Underestimating your enemy is the biggest mistake you’ve made in your life!" Ouyang Lingtian retorted angrily.
"Haha!! Funny! After all this talk, aren’t you just trying to delay time? Now I’ll give you a chance, if you can defeat me, I will give the reinforcement troops another ten minutes,"
Otte looked at Ouyang Lingtian with a face full of arrogance.
The reason he kept Ouyang Lingtian around was to get some exercise.
Since the last upheaval in the Middle East, he hadn’t exercised in two years, and he was determined to get active today with Ouyang Lingtian.
"Very well!" Ouyang Lingtian smiled faintly. If he won, he could secure ten minutes. Adding to the time of the fight, twenty minutes should be achievable.
By then, the Spearhead Team closest to this sea area would definitely be able to come to the rescue.
Seeing their leader ready to fight, all the pirates became excited. It had been a very long time since they had seen their leader meet a worthy opponent.
The people crouching on the ground also slowly raised their heads, as the duel that would determine their fates was about to begin.
Everyone sincerely hoped that Ouyang Lingtian would win!
"Excuse me, this old man has sustained severe injuries; may we treat him?" Just as Ouyang Lingtian and Otte were about to begin, a charming voice interrupted.
All eyes were instantly drawn to Lin Yazhi, bravely standing in the center of the crowd.
Next to her, Fang Fei looked pale. She had been holding onto Lin Yazhi, but still, Lin had managed to stand up.
"What a beautiful woman!"
"Damn! I never thought such a beautiful woman could exist."
"To be with such a beautiful woman, even losing a decade of my life would be worth it!"
The pirates all looked at Lin Yazhi with burning desire.
"Hahaha! What a brave woman, after I take her away, I must personally taste her," Otte, too, was captivated; he had been with countless women, but compared to Lin Yazhi, they were heaven and earth.
"Please," Lin Yazhi said, ignoring the pirates’ lewd comments; she just wanted Uncle Fu to be treated.
"Xiao Gang! Bring this old gentleman over to the beautiful lady,"
Otte ordered with a beam.
Brother Gang, upon receiving the order, immediately moved the unconscious Uncle Fu closer to Lin Yazhi with two other brothers.
"What are you looking at, kid? Believe it or not, I’ll make you eat a bullet later!"
"Sorry," Xia Liu said, promptly lowering his head.
Seeing that everyone bowed their heads and remained silent, Brother Gang then briskly stepped away; he still wanted to watch his leader’s fight.
"Xia Liu, can you help treat Uncle Fu?" Lin Yazhi asked anxiously.
"Mm," Xia Liu nodded and began to treat Uncle Fu unseen by the pirates.
As time ticked by, Ouyang Lingtian and Otte had been dueling for five minutes.
Bang!
Their fists collided, sending an unmatched aura in all directions, providing a visual impact beyond description to everyone there.
The more Otte fought, the more puzzled he became. He could feel that Ouyang Lingtian had not been using his real strength.
"Delaying time!" Otte suddenly realized.
The reason Ouyang Lingtian fought evenly with him was surely to delay time!
