Chapter 588: Chapter 588: Pirates Lurking! Sister-in-law?

Massey somehow found a gun and insisted that Elisa take cover below deck.

Though he knew it was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, as a butler, he had his professional integrity. How could he abandon Elisa and choose to live for himself at a time like this?

"Massey, you..." Elisa knew she couldn’t persuade this stubborn old man, so she could only silently consent to his actions.

She could only hope that Gentleman Country would send someone quickly. If it were a fighter jet, or any other fast ship, perhaps they might still make it in time?

At that thought, Elisa couldn’t help but show a bitter smile.

She would have been better off staying on the island.

At least, putting her past experiences aside, being near that guy did indeed give her a strong sense of safety.

As if, with him there, even if the sky fell, it wouldn’t matter; there was no need to worry at all.

But now, she found herself utterly isolated and without support.

Expect Chen Wei to swoop in like a divine soldier and arrive in time?

Elisa had no such hopes.

Meanwhile, Massey was already loading his gun, ready at any moment to risk his life to protect Elisa’s safety.

Bang! Bang! Bang...

The ship was finally forced to stop, and after the people on those three speedboats brandished their guns in a show of force, the captain chose to cut the engine.

Elisa had heard gunfire before, but witnessing this scene, she had to admit, she was scared.

Worried that today, she might indeed die in this place.

Pitifully, she had grown so much, yet never had a boyfriend, her first kiss still intact, and now she might have to leave...

Da da da da!

But in the next second, another burst of gunfire came from the distance.

Both Elisa and Massey turned towards the sound, seeing a few? No, more than a dozen, then dozens of speedboats continued to enter their field of view!

"Are those guys also with them?" Elisa asked with a wry smile, "I didn’t expect those people would make such a big scene just to capture me."

She thought, if she had the chance to escape this time, she could use this incident as a conversation piece.

However, faced with such a large force, the chances were almost zero, you might even say equal to zero.

"Princess, it seems that those people down there are also panicking; they obviously didn’t expect this to happen," Massey observed that something was amiss.

They aren’t on the same side?

At these words, Elisa went to the side of the boat and looked down, indeed noticing people on the speedboats looking at one another in bewilderment, gesturing and seemingly trying to come up with a solution.

But from their expressions, they were clearly taken by surprise, appearing somewhat confused and anxious to discuss a way out.

"Hiss..." Massey adjusted his glasses, and as those dozens of speedboats drew nearer, he recognized the pattern on the black flags fluttering on the boats - it seemed familiar, like something he had seen before.

Clapping his fist into his palm, Massey suddenly realized, "That’s right! I remember now, those are pirates that have long plagued these waters!"

"Pirates?" Elisa was puzzled, "Are there still pirates nowadays?"

"Princess, you might not be aware that this is a lawless area, and even the fleets of Gentleman Country can’t touch these people."

"However, these pirates are different from those of the past; they don’t live by looting and robbing. They are akin to a military force that doesn’t belong to any powers," Massey explained.

"I see. So, are they very powerful?" Elisa continued to inquire.

"Even the fleets of the Hawk Faction have to show them some respect when they come here and don’t dare to make a fuss," Massey used an example to illustrate.

At the mention of the "Hawk Faction," Elisa immediately understood just how formidable these pirates were.

After all, they were more familiar with these waters and would hold an advantage if it came to a fight.

And this was a lawless place, where reckless attacks would not stand on reason or morality.

"But still, how did they end up here?" Massey was utterly perplexed.

"Could it be! Are they also here for you, Princess? To kidnap you for a ransom?" He couldn’t think of any other reasonable explanation.

Despite the fact that these people were quite comfortable with their other businesses, they had no reason to do such a thing.

"I would rather be kidnapped by pirates than fall into the hands of these people below; at least that’s a situation that money can solve," Elisa thought that it was not a bad way out of a predicament.

In her view, anything that money could fix was not a real problem.

At least it wouldn’t let the worms within Gentleman Country get their way.

Massey didn’t argue; he thought Elisa’s words made a lot of sense.

He even considered not resisting and cooperating with the pirates, clearly stating his terms just to ensure Elisa’s safety.

Before long, several dozen speedboats had surrounded one ship and three other speedboats.

Facing over a hundred guns, the people on those three speedboats could only throw their weapons overboard and kneel with their hands on their heads.

Otherwise, there was only one outcome: death!

In fact, the leader of the pirates wasn’t planning on sparing any of them and ordered them all to be shot dead.

Then they jumped onto the speedboats, threw the bodies into the sea to feed the fish.

This area happened to be where sharks were active, and as soon as they smelled blood, they immediately swarmed, tearing the corpses to pieces and devouring them completely!

The blood stained a vast expanse of seawater from red to pink, until it was entirely diluted and invisible to the naked eye.

"..." Elisa hadn’t expected these pirates to be so ruthless.

Bang! Bang! Bang...

They threw grappling hooks over the side, hooking onto the edge of the ship. After ensuring there were no problems, they climbed on board one after another, a mere dozen or so, surrounding Elisa and Massey.

Massey dropped his gun, "Don’t hurt her, we’re willing to agree to any of your conditions."

His gaze shifted to a man who appeared to be the leader of the group.

The aura he emitted was unmatched by the others.

Completely overpowering!

His natural aura of slaughter made Elisa feel very uncomfortable even when she moved slightly closer.

"Hurt you? Don’t misunderstand; I’m not here to kidnap her. I’m just following others’ instructions, looking after you a bit to ensure you leave these waters safely, nothing more," the man waved his hand and explained.

"Following others’ instructions?" Elisa and Massey looked at each other, both visibly confused, wondering who could have persuaded these people.

"That’s right, by the way, what’s your relation with Master Chen? Master Chen rarely seeks me out, but this time it was to protect you."

The man took a few steps closer, propped his chin up, and scrutinized Elisa from top to bottom.

By his standards, Elisa would definitely score ninety-nine out of a hundred.

Why one point less?

Because he preferred women a bit more voluptuous.

Elisa was not small, but far from explosively voluptuous.

"Master Chen? Are you talking about Chen Wei?" Elisa asked.

"How dare you call Master Chen by his name!" the man showed a look of fear, "Could it be... you are the sister-in-law?"
