The pirates made their presence known soon enough. One of them, recognizing the anxiety permeating the air, addressed the crowd. “Everybody, calm down. I understand that for many of you, this is your first brush with such a situation, and feeling nervous is expected. Just think of us as passersby collecting a toll. We’re only interested in money, we don’t harm people. It’s our professional ethic. Your safety is our primary concern, absolute safety. But remember, money is non-negotiable.”
“Damn, these pirates are alarmingly professional!” “It’s as though the world has civilized even pirates!”
“Something about a pirate saying this doesn’t sit right!”
“Do you think Old Luo hired actors? Are we in the middle of a live-action role-play?”
“Would hired actors use actual guns?” “How can you tell if they’re real or fake?”
“Can’t you see? It’s glaringly obvious!”
With these words, the viewers began to buzz, their tension slightly diffused.
One pirate glanced at the drone hovering above and proclaimed, “Hello, everyone, I am a fan of Luo Feng. I watch his live streams every day!”
The viewers were dumbstruck.
Luo Feng was no less speechless.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtDamn, you look nothing like a fan.
Lin Yueting, a striking beauty, rolled her eyes, appearing somewhat sympathetic toward Luo Feng…
Are all your fans this intense?
“Weinach, let’s focus on business!” One of his crew members interrupted.
Suddenly recalling, Weinach retorted, “Jack, don’t just blurt out my name like that; it could blow our cover, you fool!”
“Shut up,” his comrade snapped back impatiently, stepping forward and demanding, “Luo Feng, surrender all the treasures you found on the gambling ship!”
Luo Feng’s brow furrowed. He had anticipated needing a million in cash, assuming it would be sufficient to placate these pirates. But their demands far exceeded his expectations, which irked Luo Feng.
They had agreed on a modest toll, but why were they now demanding so much?
“All of it?”
“Absolutely, all of it!”
Luo Feng fell silent at their demand. The combined value of these treasures was around a hundred million. If he surrendered everything, wouldn’t his previous salvage operation be a futile endeavor?
Observing Luo Feng’s silence, the pirate’s voice hardened, laced with an undercurrent of threat. “Mr. Luo, we’ve made it clear that we only want money.
It would be wise for you to heed our words and cooperate.”
Luo Feng glanced at their yacht and responded, “The treasures are plentiful. Can your yacht accommodate them all?”
The pirates were caught off guard. They hadn’t considered this predicament.
Indeed, there were too many items, too many to transport in one go.
What should they do?
Was it even feasible to transport everything back now?
“How about two boxes of gold?” Luo Feng proposed abruptly.
This suggestion incensed the pirates. “Mr. Luo, are you treating us like beggars? We demand all of it. Do you understand? All of the treasures!”
Although, deep down, they were ecstatic. Two boxes of gold equated to an enormous sum of money.
But their greed was insatiable. They wanted more.
“Huh!”
Luo Feng’s expression hardened. He didn’t view these five pirates as a threat. If a fight ensued, he was confident they wouldn’t even have a chance to fire their weapons.
However, there might be more pirates than just these five.
“Damn, these pirates are crossing a line!”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Weren’t they asking for a toll? Why do they want so much?”
“I’m furious, kill them! Stream their deaths while you’re at it!” Lin Yueting, too, was infuriated, “You’re asking for too much!”
“Take them to collect everything. Give them everything!” Luo Feng gestured dismissively.
About half an hour later, all the treasures from the ship were transported onto the deck.
Seeing the vast treasure, the five pirates were nearly blinded…
The gold coins, banknotes, silver coins, when combined, weighed around 3000 kilograms.
This sum was equivalent to their earnings for several years.
Pulling off this heist meant they could live comfortably for a few years. Being a pirate was indeed a feast or famine profession.
But there was a problem. They had only brought a small yacht. How could they haul away all these items?
One of the pirates picked up a satellite phone and dialed a number.
A few minutes later, the pirate put down the phone and announced, “I’ll take some back first, others will come for you later.”
Their boss had dispatched three other yachts. If they divided the load into four, they could transport everything.
The other pirates had no objections. The treasure was paramount, and they agreed.
After all, they were safe on the ship. These people were nothing more than lambs awaiting slaughter..
