Chris cursed loudly, “Are you blind? I’m here by Captain Jack’s orders!”
A practitioner from the Hall of Valerian sneered, “Without Mr. Steer’s command, no one is allowed in!”
Although Jack was the king of the Caribbean pirates, overseeing all the pirates, here, it was Ironheart Steer who called the shots. What was Jack in comparison?
Hearing this, Chris furiously retorted, “What do you mean by this? Are you disregarding Captain Jack?”
“Get lost, or don’t blame us for being rude!”
Several practitioners from the Hall of Valerian showed an impatient demeanor.
Seeing this, Chris knew that using Jack’s name was useless; these people did not respect Jack at all.
It seemed he had no choice but to act on his own.
With this thought, Chris did not hesitate and immediately took action.
Whoosh!
In a blink, Chris turned into a blur and vanished from the spot.
The practitioners’ faces turned pale with shock.
“Not good! This man is an impostor, stop him!”
They were practitioners and quickly realized Chris’s true identity.
Whoosh!
But before they could react, a streak of cold light flashed by.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The practitioners clutched their necks, their faces in disbelief.
A line of blood appeared at their throats, widening rapidly.
Moments later, several practitioners from the Hall of Valerian lay dead on the ground.
Chris’s speed was simply too fast for the practitioners to react.
Holding a bloodied dagger, Chris coldly glanced at the bodies.
Then, without any hesitation, he entered the building.
Inside, he realized it was not Ironheart Steer’s residence but an armory!
The armory was filled with various firearms and boxes of neatly arranged ammunition.
Now Chris understood; this was the pirates’ armory.
After Ironheart Steer took over the island, the armory had fallen into his hands.
Chris searched and finally found an old telegraph machine in a secluded corner.
Telegraphs had long been obsolete.
This machine had been discarded here some time ago.
“Perfect! With this telegraph, I can contact the outside world.”
Though the telegraph was old, it was a welcome surprise for Chris.
Without hesitation, he set up the machine.
Before leaving the armory, Chris found a timed bomb.
After setting the bomb, he left the armory.
Just then, a man in black, accompanied by dozens of Hall of Valerian practitioners, arrived.
Seeing the bodies on the ground, the man’s face turned extremely grim.
“Catch him!”
Spotting Chris, the man in black shouted and immediately led the practitioners in pursuit.
Seeing the man in black approach, Chris’s lips curled in disdain.
Whoosh!
Without any hesitation, Chris swiftly disappeared like lightning.
Boom!
Shortly after Chris’s departure, the armory erupted in a massive explosion.
The explosion lit up the entire island with its fiery blaze.
The powerful blast flattened nearby buildings.
Many pirates and Hall of Valerian practitioners were killed or injured.
Seeing the armory reduced to ruins, the man in black was furious.
“Send the order, he must be captured!”
The man in black roared, and the entire island immediately erupted into chaos. Bang! Bang! Bang! Intense gunfire rang out continuously. Numerous pirates began to attack Chris. However, Chris was powerful; with just one firearm, he forced these pirates to retreat step by step.
Without daring to pause, Chris headed towards the seaside. Soon after, he reached the shore. Facing thousands of pirates behind him, Chris clenched his teeth and jumped into the sea. Rat-a-tat! As Chris plunged into the sea, countless bullets swept across the water surface.
Numerous speedboats arrived, initiating a carpet search for Chris. About fifteen minutes later, a figure slowly emerged on a rock in the sea.
“I never expected the security on this island to be so tight that even someone with my skills would be discovered,” Chris murmured to himself. He estimated that there were at least a hundred thousand pirates on the island-a truly terrifying number. Rumble! Just then, the sound of ship engines thundered anew.
Chris turned his head and saw several speedboats conducting a thorough search of the surrounding waters. He quickly went into hiding.
At that moment, Chris thought of the man in black. The man emitted a terrifying aura. Chris knew without guessing that this man must be a practitioner named Daniel Williams, sent by Ironheart Steer. From his estimation, the man’s strength was at least above the Transcendence peak realm.
It seemed that this time, Daniel Williams had really invested heavily, even sending a practitioner of the Transcendence peak realm. Overnight, the island was stirred up, and all pirates were on high alert. Everyone knew that someone had attacked the armory last night and blown it up.
The news spread, causing panic among the pirates on the island. For these pirates, the armory was crucial. With bullets, their firearms were useful. Without bullets, their firearms were no better than sticks. At that moment, inside the largest building on the island, Ironheart Steer yelled at a group of pirates and practitioners from the Hall of Valerian.
“Useless! Are you all useless? If you can’t even guard an armory, you might as well be dead!”
For Ironheart Steer, he could tolerate the armory being blown up, but what he couldn’t endure was that Chris had escaped. Despite having thousands of pirates stationed around the cave, Chris had still managed to escape.
If Chris leaked the news, military forces from around the world would likely come to hunt him down. The man in black asked, “Mr. Steer, Chris has escaped. Should we move the hostages?”
The man in black, named Dark Sin, was a practitioner beside Daniel Williams and also the newly appointed left protector of the Hall of Valerian. This escape made Dark Sin realize that the island was no longer safe. If the military forces of the surrounding countries came, they would be doomed. So now, their most crucial task was to move the hostages from the island. Ironheart Steer gritted his teeth.
“This Chris is really a scourge. Even after being captured, he still managed to escape! Issue my orders, move all hostages out! Also, increase the manpower to search the sea; we must find Chris, dead or alive. As soon as Chris is found, kill him without mercy!”
“Yes!”
Dark Sin nodded and then vanished into the darkness. Meanwhile, Chris had returned to the island, stealthily lurking near the cave.
