The Princess And The Lord

This time Mong Yi moves alone while Lory and the others waiting, it didn't take a long time before Mong Yi came with another unconscious pirate on his shoulder, he carries the man like a bag of rice then throws the man on the ground. Subconsciously they took the same position as before.

They poured the unconscious pirate with a bucket of cold water just like before, instantly the man awoke in shock at first he thought the other pirate play trick on him again but then he realizes he was surrounded by a bunch of men with dark uniform, he can't saw their face because all of them cover their face with a cloth.

As a pirate how could he show his weakness, he strengthens his back as he pretends to be brave then he asked the classic dialog that everyone would say when they are in this situation.

"Who are you?"

Everyone including Lory rolled their eyes and sighed, why people always ask, do they think they would introduce themselves politely? The pirate thought because they are quite they must be afraid, his confidence raised a little bit.

If lory knows about this she would crack the man's head open and see how his brains worked. 

feeling a bit confident he raised his voice "You all better Let me go, you don't know who I'm working for, you will be sorry, ALL OF YOU!" he shouted arrogantly.

'That sound's familiar' everyone unconsciously exchanged glances including Lory.

[do they have a script for this?] Girsha can't help to comment.

[Probably…] Lory shrugged.

"Beat him…" Bei Li Yan tiredly said.

Mong Yi takes a step and Bei Li Yan quickly shouted "Not You!"

Mong Yi felt hurt but he didn't argue with Bei Li Yan then another Shadow guard takes a step forward and rewarded the man audacity with a heavy blow on his face, as the pirate treated as punching bag Bei Li Yan took a stool from his ring then he takes a seat and watches the scene in front of him with a boring look while Lory leaned her elbow on Bei Li Yan shoulder with the same expression.

The arrogant pirate flumped on the ground groaning in pain, everything on his body ached, his vision became blurry and there's a ringing sound in his ears that make him feel dizzier, he could taste metallic liquid in his mouth as blood drip from his face.

"Will you talk now, otherwise I would ask this guy to hit you, and when he hit you 'that' would happen" Bei Li Yan pointed at the pirate's corpse near the tree trunk. 

The arrogant pirate followed Bei Li Yan's direction until he saw a lifeless body lying face down on the ground, the man jerked backward then a seconds later he realized that he knew the corpse was, just a while ago he had a drink with that man but now...

His heart hammered in his chest, he looked at the man who was responsible for the death of his friend, he realizes now they're not kidding when they say they would kill him.

"What…what do you want?" he sweated with fear.

"Finally…." Bei Li Yan throws his hands in the air as he let out a harsh breath, then he looks at the injured pirated with an evil smile "I thought I have to kill another pirate again….so tiring" he complains exasperatedly as if he complains about the bad weather.

The frightened pirated was so terrified he almost peed himself, there's no doubt in his mind that this man would do what he said "Please don't, I…I will tell you everything…please don't kill me" he was frantic with fear.

"Good…" Bei Li Yan satisfied with his answer then he continues "What creature inside the cave?"

"The…the…the cave?" he stammered.

"Yes, the…the…the cave" Bei Li Yan teased.

The pirate didn't have time to bother with Bei Li Yan joke, he gulped his saliva and say "It…it's a monster" his voice was filled with terror.

"What monster?" Bei Li Yan's voice turns serious.

"I… I don't know, I never saw it myself, I do not dare but some people who dare enough said the monster is like something crawled from the dept of hell, this monster like human flesh, woman especially if you give men the monster would only shred it and made it angry so we never gave men again..."

"Where do you get all these men and women?" Lory interrupts the conversation.

The pirate surprised there's a woman among them, then he realizes a small figure next to the man who talks with him before. The mentality of pirated that they don't put women in their eyes, for the women is no better than cattle that they would sell and used whenever they need, so it's hard for him to lower himself when Lory asked him.

"She asked you a question…" Bei Li Yan sternly warned the arrogant pirate.

The pirated feel the hostility in Bei Li Yan voice shrank his head, he thought the women must be that man's woman if not how could that domineering man let this woman talk, the woman must be a great beauty. Suddenly a heavy punch from the shadow guard on his face awaked him from his stupor.

"If you keep staring my mistress like that, I will gauge your eyes" Bei Li Yan coolly reminds him.

"I'm sory…I'm sorry, I'm not dare" he lower his head in fright.

"Now, answer her!" Bei Li Yan becomes impatient.

"We…we kidnapped, fisherman and the young lady from small island and ships…"

"So you made them as fodder" she cynically said.

"That….we..we just follow order" the man shrinks his neck.

"Whose order?" Lory asks again.

The man looked hesitant then he shook his head "I can't, that person would kill me for sure!"

"If you don't talk we killed you for sure" Bei Li Yan add-in.

"I…." he knows that what he did was inhumane, even for pirate standard what they had done was abhorrent, he could still hear their desperate screamed when the monster shreds them piece by piece, their pleading, and crying sound haunted his sleep, that's why he drinks so much even more than before because that the only way he can have asleep.

"Tell me or I feed you to that monster myself," Lory's temper raised.

Fear throbbed inside him, he raised his head then said "Is…is a woman, I don't know whose her name but her subordinated but her subordinated called her Miss Lao"

Lory expected this so she's not surprised "How many monsters you got in the cave?"

"At first…..five but we already send it to other places so it's only one now" 

"Where do you send it?" her heart tightened with bad premonition.

"To Xing Fang continent…." Said the pirate nervously.

Lory and Bei Li Yan exchanged glances, this is not good news. Bei Li Yan whisper at Lory "This is not good, we need to know where they send these monster exactly"

"I know....we need more information though" Lory shift her glance at the kneeling pirated in front of her then she says to Bei Li Yan "We should divide and conquer, You, me and Mong Yi will kill the monster while the other find the pirate captain, he should know much than this weakling"

"And perhaps stronger too…" Bei Li Yan mutter.

"Probably, if he worked with Lao Min Na is no surprised she would boost her henchman strength to make her worked easier, that's why we should send more people just in case" Lory explains.

"Okay, let's do that!" Bei Li Yan nodded but then he paused "What about this pirate?"

She looked at the battered pirate for a few seconds, this man has done an insidious crime and he had seen them so she can't let the man go "Do what you must do" Lory firmly said.

Bei Li Yan grinned, this is what he likes about Lory, she knows how to make firm decisions. 

"finish it" Bei Li Yan snapped his finger then he left with Lory and Mong Yi while one of the guards unsheathed his sword.

"No, No please, I had told you everything!" the pirated desperately begging and crying for help, suddenly he remembers the same cried he heard when all the innocent victims he drag to the cave, he wonders if this his karma.
