NOVPUBChapter 1387: 649 Education_3 Chapter 1387: 649 Education_3 Leandro Alvarez was nearly brought to his knees by the discourse.
He stared deeply at the young lady in the center of the crowd.
If it were anyone else saying these words, they would have probably been torn to shreds by these savage pirates, but this woman was Aubree Groove.
Leandro Alvarez thought carefully.
First, she suppressed Kennedy with her hardline measures, dealing everyone a stern blow.
By that time, her words had already instilled some fear into the hearts of those pirates.
Despite all their cruel deeds, they definitely admired the strong.
...
Afterward, Mistress used a softer approach to break their psychological defense and conquered them without a single fight.
But Leandro Alvarez was a little confused.
Was Mistress’s speech from the heart or just an act?
He really didn’t know.
If it was the latter, then this person was too terrifying.
If it was the former, then this person was more than terrifying.
An untimely sound of applause rang out.
The crowd parted to make way, and the previously lost individuals immediately lit up with hope when they spotted the newcomer: “Boss.”
“Ms.
Rinto is skillful indeed, persuading my brothers just with your silver tongues.
However, Ms.
Rinto, you are too naive; we, who lick the blade for a living, have long disregarded life and death.”
Aubree Groove laughed and shook her head, “Do you still think yourselves to be the 108 heroes of Mount Liang?
Those heroes fought for justice, ready to throw themselves into the fray for their brothers.
Yet what about you?
You only drive your brothers away from home to die in foreign lands, leaving them without an honorable mention in death.
This is your ridiculous idea of brotherhood.”
Delan Sparrow sneered, “And how well-off is your Rinto family?
How many lives have been claimed by your father and your nephew?
What right do you have to stand here acting so self-righteous?”
The young lady resolute and fearless in her white garments replied, “They are they; I am me.
I came here to recover the lost shipmen, bring their remains back home for a proper burial, their families back home are still waiting for their return.
Accidents like this upset me greatly, but they are working for the Rintos, and therefore I cannot just stand aside and let their remains be lost on this desolate island, leaving their souls with nowhere to go.”
Everyone was filled with intense mixed feelings at that moment.
Other bosses would risk their lives to travel thousands of miles to recover the remains of their workers, ensuring their families don’t wait in vain.
Where is their boss?
After risking their lives for him, they end up left for dead, not even having a burial mound to speak of, let alone their families back home.
They would be lying if they didn’t feel envious.
To add to it, they heard that working for the Rintos offered good perks.
In case of a disaster, their loved ones would receive hefty compensation.
The difference is stark.
Lives spent drifting on the sea, out of reach of women.
What do they do with all that money then?
At that moment, some really grew tired of this kind of life.
“Ms.
Rinto indeed has a silver tongue.
I am impressed.
Since my skills are inferior to yours, I have nothing more to say.
However, I’m afraid it won’t be easy for you to walk away unscathed today,” said Delan Sparrow.
It was a large gathering of over three hundred pirates.
It wouldn’t be easy to fend them off if they all attacked at once.
However, the young lady showed no signs of panic.
She smiled and said, “Why should I fear that?
You all come at me.
If I, Aubree Groove, retreat even half a step, may I die a terrible death.”
Each and every word was a thunderous awakening, affecting everyone’s hearts.
They wavered before the fight even began.
A young woman had such courage made them, the big men, looked ridiculously cowardly.
Killing her would accomplish what?
Make them seem even more powerful?
Moreover, her previous teachings still ringing in their ears, everyone was already hesitant about using their guns again.
“What a brave woman.
I am impressed,” said Delan Sparrow, sighing.
“Ms.
Rinto, tell me truthfully, do you think I want to be the boss of this mess?
If not compelled by life, who would want to lead this life of blood and violence?
But I see Ms.
Rinto as a noble and upright woman, truly a heroic woman among women.
I hope Ms.
Rinto can point us to the right path,” he said.
That was him yielding, not wanting to confront head-on.
Delan Sparrow’s men took a collective sigh of relief.
“Only by giving up your blades can you rectify yourselves.”
Everyone exchanged glances, become a new person?
“Do we still have a chance?” someone asked.
The young lady smiled, “In the past, Ajatashatru harbored hatred and killed his own parents, his sins were innumerable.
After being influenced by Buddha, however, he sincerely repented.
From then on, he practiced self-discipline and eventually attained the state of Bodhisattva.
Do you think your sins could be more severe than Ajatashatru’s?”
