NovelEnglishBasked in darkness, they stealthily made their way to the mountaintop and arrived at the cave entrance under
Winston's lead. It was a perfect hideout, and the pirates would not be able to find them easily even if they
entered the island.
Meanwhile, out at sea, two ships engaged in a fierce battle. The bodyguards that Willow had brought along this
twere well-versed in naval combat, and they were trained sailors as well. With their skills, they quickly led
the pirate ship toward the outer seas. Little did they know, five silhouettes floated in the dark ocean-a part of the
pirates’ plan.
They speculated that the crew had already taken refuge on the island, and if they managed to capture them,
they could force the ship to lower their defenses. Moreover, kidnapping was their specialty. And yet, they had no
idea that someone else was awaiting them on the island.
In the darkness, the pirates finally arrived at the shore. At the sight of the tents, they laughed wickedly, their
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇteyes filled with greed as they prepared to ransack the tents. Just then, the leading pirate, still oblivious to the
danger, was struck in the forehead by an unseen force, causing him to collapse lifelessly to the ground in a split
second.
Immediately, the remaining pirates huddled together, firing their weapons in every direction possible. They had
not expected such a skilled warrior amongst a team of archeologists and were taken aback by the military-issued
equipment on their ship. Now that an assassin was lying in an ambush on the island, they were caught off guard.
“Disperse and find that man!” the leading pirate ordered. The four pirates immediately spread out at his words,
not knowing that this would be their doom. If they attempted to flee at that moment, they might have stood a
chance at survival, but their dispersion only led to nothing but their death. After all, the man in hiding excelled at
taking out his targets individually.
“Ahh!” With a sharp gasp, a pirate who had walked into the distance noticed another shadow next to his. He
whipped around in fear, and the next moment, the gun in his hand was pressed viciously against his chest by the
looming figure that reached out toward him. In a fit of panic, he pulled on the trigger, not realizing it was pointed
at his chin.
The sound of the gunshot quickly attracted the other three, but their comrade had long departed from the world
of living by the tthey rushed over, and his gun had vanished in thin air.
That frightened the three pirates, and only a single thought crossed their minds-head back to the sea
immediately and return to the ship.
However, as they fled wildly toward the ocean, the man at the group's tail took a shot to the back of his head
while the other two turned around in fear as they fired frantically. Yet, the man in the darkness was devilishly
skilled, and he was able to aim accurately even with the moon as his only source of light.
Bang! Another gunshot later, a wild pirate collapsed into the sea, the water around him turning crimson with his
blood. The sole remaining pirate trembled with fear, and just as he thought he had finally made it back to the
ocean, he heard a voice call out to him. “Hey!”

Uncontrollably, he turned toward the source of the voice, only to see a cold figure standing by the shore, the gun
in his hand pointed toward him. In a blink of an eye, his head becthe man’s target as soon as he emerged
from the water, and he was unable to react at all. Just like that, the five pirates were wiped out without even
knowing the face of the man who took their lives.
Meanwhile, the two ships were still engaged in the crossfire, separated by the ocean. As the pirate ship was
afraid to cinto the range of their opponents, neither of the vessels was damaged. At that moment, Jasper
disappeared from the beach and leaped into the sea.
An hour later, with the pirate ship’s departure, the bodyguards steered back to the shore and returned to the
dock. Halfway up the mountain, Winston noticed that the pirate ship had disappeared, followed by a message
from the bodyguards, reporting that they were now on the island.
Immediately, Willow suggested, “Let's go down!” “Miss Presgrave, we have to wait for a little longer. We can only
head down once Ricky confirms the safety on the island.”
