Chapter 1159 Pirates
“Mm. The young man from the Norton family is full of schemes. He is stronger than Howard, so we’ll have to do our very best to find Jared.”
Lachlan narrowed his eyes as a murderous glint flashed across his eyes.
“Old Mr. Dunn, do you really plan to find Jared and ask him to stay in the Dunn residence so we can protect him? Don’t you want Jared’s draconic essence?” his butler asked.
“Protect him?” Lachlan’s lips curved upward. “Jared offended the Warriors Alliance and the Deragons, and now the entire martial arts world wants him dead. We’re not capable enough to protect him. You know how Howard is. If I hadn’t said that, he wouldn’t have departed to search for Jared. When we find Jared, I’ll get his draconic essence. Even if I don’t kill him, he doesn’t have long to live.”
“Old Mr. Dunn, you’re really smart!” the butler flattered him.
A luxurious cruise ship was floating in the vast sea.
Besides the crew members, Jared was the only passenger on board the huge cruise ship.
Jared locked himself in his room and started cultivating nonstop.
He was confident that he could save his mother and Josephine if he could cultivate his Nascent Soul before the New Year.
However, it was pretty hard for one to cultivate a Nascent Soul.
A Nascent Soul cultivator would possess an immortal body.
If he was one, as long as his Nascent Soul was alive, he could rebuild his body even if it were to turn to ashes.
Ordinary people would view a Nascent Soul cultivator as an immortal.
In the control room of the cruise ship, a few crew members were chatting idly.
The cruise ship was floating in the sea, and they had nothing to do. They spent their days eating, sleeping, and chatting with each other.
The crew members didn’t mind idling around. In fact, they were delighted, as they were paid handsomely.
“Max, what do you think Boss has in mind? This huge cruise ship only has one passenger. It only floats around in the sea instead of going elsewhere. Isn’t this a waste?”
“Stop saying that. Perhaps the passenger has already paid for this. He might’ve even bought the cruise ship. We’ll just have to clock in to work and get paid on time.”
“Yes. This is such an easy job. We don’t have to do anything as the cruise ship is floating in the sea. I hope we won’t run into any pirates, though. I heard that the pirates from Skull Island are inhumane enough to devour roasted humans!”
“Stop talking nonsense. Those are nothing but lies. Skull Island doesn’t exist! I’ve worked on the cruise ship for years, but I’ve never met any pirates.”
The crew members were chatting merrily when a few speedboats emerged out of nowhere and surrounded the cruise ship.
The speedboats were advancing so quickly that they created huge waves behind them!
A few figures leaped up from the speedboats mere moments before the speedboats could hit the cruise ship,
The cruise ship was over twenty meters high, but the figures managed to leap onto the deck without using any tools.
The crew members would have dropped their jaws in shock if they had seen this scene.
The unwelcomed visitors were clad in black outfits with a skull embroidered on the cloth above their left chests.
After getting onto the deck, they ran toward the control room immediately.
Kicking the door to the control room open, they proceeded to tackle and control the crew members.
The crew members were shaking in fear when they saw what the men were wearing.
They had heard previously about the uniform worn by the pirates from Skull Island.
Now that the pirates were right in front of them, they couldn’t stop fear from clawing up their throats.
“How many people are there on the ship? Gather them at the deck,” a pirate with a red skull embroidered on the right side of his outfit ordered a crew member.
The crew member’s legs had gone weak following the pirate’s order. He would’ve dropped to the ground if someone wasn’t supporting him.
