"This ship belongs to the Coal Mining Company of the Tia Empire, departing from Danba Port and planning to travel through the Alano waters en route to the Tia Empire,"

Ye Feng said in a low voice as he emerged from the cabin, speaking to He Ao.

At this moment, the coal transport ship was getting closer and closer to the cruise ship.

He Ao looked at the high canopy on the deck of the ship.

It was clear that the other party was adjusting course to avoid a collision with the cruise ship.

"It seems like there’s nothing wrong with this ship,"

Ye Feng said softly.

"Hmm, get a speedboat ready, just in case,"

He Ao put down his binoculars and took a glance at the time on his phone.

It had been almost an hour since Yang De left.

----

Under the dense black clouds, the speedboat driven by Yang De had its lights off, carefully approaching a massive cargo ship.

This cargo ship, unlike those fully loaded ones on the surface of the water, had a shallow draft, and its flat and wide deck was not piled with cargo. Instead, it was loaded with a number of empty speedboats.

At this moment, around the deck, pirates holding submachine guns were patrolling and keeping watch.

This ship was one of the several mother ships of the Free Marines described by the captured pirates, but it was not the main one. At present, there were no other ships nearby this one.

In fact, this ship had deviated far from the location of the Free Marines’ headquarters that Yang De had estimated at the time of departure and was continuing to sail in the opposite direction to that of the cruise ship.

Balan had intentionally separated this ship, carrying hostages, from the other mother ships to deceive Yang De, knowing that some pirates must have been captured. If Yang De headed directly for the pirate stronghold, he would certainly come up empty-handed.

Yang De glanced at the box in his hand. After confirming that the finger inside the box was pointing to this ship, he slowly let out a breath of relief.

He signaled the helmsman to shut down the engine, allowing the speedboat to coast silently closer thanks to its momentum.

The pitch-black night served as their guise.

As they were about to reach the cargo ship, Yang De made a ’wait here’ gesture to those on the speedboat. Then, pressing his hand against the side of the boat, he used it to leap directly onto the deck in just a few moves.

#%%#%￥···

In the midst of a string of jumbled words and a series of gunshots like firecrackers, Yang De swiftly breached the pirates’ defenses and took them down one by one.

Bullets whizzed by his body, and nearly with every movement he made, he brought down a pirate.

After knocking down just a small number of pirates, the rest were completely routed, scattering in panic. Some even started climbing onto the speedboats, trying to escape the cargo ship.

Yang De, watching this frantic scene, frowned slightly.

Theoretically, if the hostages were that important, Balan should be guarding them personally, and the ones around Balan should be the elite of the Free Marines, who wouldn’t be so easily subdued.

An ominous feeling rose in Yang De’s heart. He dragged one of the pirates clambering onto a speedboat and, picking up a translator, asked, "Where are the hostages?"

The pirate hesitated for a moment, then shakily led Yang De into the cabin.

The place where the hostages were held was not difficult to find; they were collectively detained in a hall below deck that had been converted.

The moment he saw the hostages, Yang De’s grip on the pirate’s hand tightened.

----

He Ao held the Pirate Treasure Chest in his hands.

Ever since it had come into contact with the Miracle Wand, the chest had become a lot more subdued, but as soon as He Ao separated it slightly from the Miracle Wand,

it began to tentatively attempt to tempt He Ao.

He Ao played with the chest.

This chest appeared to belong to the person who had set the trap on the cruise ship, most likely the leader of the Free Marines, Balan.

If Balan dare leave such an extraordinary item here so boldly, it was most likely because the special ability of this extraordinary item meant it wasn’t afraid of being ’lost’.

If they wanted to know how to use the box, they would likely have to find its original owner, Balan.

He Ao packed away the box and looked ahead.

At this moment, he could already see the approaching coal ship with his naked eyes.

The ship adjusted its course but did not completely veer away from the Research Institute’s cruise ship; it maintained a suitably close direction.

Now, the two ships were approaching their closest point to each other.

"Captain, the Research Institute’s support ship will arrive soon, in about twenty minutes,"

Ye Feng suddenly ran over excitedly at this moment.

It seemed Ye Feng had grown accustomed to the title "Captain" and couldn’t immediately change his language; He Ao didn’t mind the form of address.

He lifted his binoculars and could see a light in the distance, slowly approaching.

Judging by the distance, that must be the Research Institute’s support ship.

Then he put down the binoculars and looked back at Ye Feng, "Is the speedboat ready?"

"Ready,"

Ye Feng nodded lightly.

"Stay on alert."

He Ao stretched his limbs and walked to the side of the ship, where he saw the speedboat Ye Feng had prepared.

He then looked up at the nearby coal ship.

By now, the coal ship had reached the closest point to the cruise ship, and if it continued forward, the distance between them would gradually widen.

At that instant, the coal ship suddenly changed its course and headed toward the cruise ship.

"What’s going on with them?!"

Ye Feng was startled and rushed into the pilothouse, then quickly ran back out, looking at He Ao, "Captain, our radio and satellite communications have been jammed."

"Hmm,"

He Ao nodded slightly, looking up at the coal ship as the Tia Empire flag was slowly being taken down, "Sound the alarm, prepare the ship for a heightened state of alert, and don’t panic."

Then he grabbed his suitcase and leapt down onto the speedboat below, untying the rope that secured the speedboat,

A flash of lightning illuminated the earth, followed by the thunderous sound of thunder.

Under the flash of lightning, the entire dark world was briefly lit up.

The coal ship’s rain cover was violently torn away, not revealing mounds of cargo, but neatly arranged rows of brand new helicopters.

Beansize drops of rain fell from the sky as the wind whipped up the waves, causing He Ao’s speedboat to churn through the waves.

Earlier, when he had just returned, he briefly activated Super Memory, memorizing the actions of the Speech Master and Ye Feng.

The operation of the speedboat was not complex; initially, He Ao was a bit rusty and nearly capsized with the waves, but his reflexes and strength were top-notch, and he forcefully balanced the speedboat by sheer power. He quickly mastered the operation of the speedboat while fighting against the waves.

Then, he controlled the speedboat, creating slender, foaming waves in the pitch-black ocean as he headed toward the coal ship.

At this moment, the Transcendents on the cruise ship had come out again, staring blankly at He Ao’s retreating figure.

Watching him control the speeding speedboat, riding the rolling waves, and advancing through the stormy weather.

Compared to the massive coal ship and the boundless waves, the speedboat seemed so insignificant, yet so powerful and fearless.

The flashing lightning again lit up the sky; dense lightning spread across the clouds like a luminous tree blooming in heaven.

In the brilliant radiance,

The howling of the wind, the rolling sea, the heaving vessels, and the small speedboat soaring over the waves toward the huge ship—everything melded together.

Encapsulated within the same nocturnal vista.
