Chapter 491: Chapter 291: Hidden Currents_3

The Son of Heaven stood in front of everyone, calmly reciting a rehearsed pep talk.

The crowd below listened quietly without causing a commotion.

I must say, the Son of Heaven is indeed a leader with strong leadership skills. He has great strength, good looks, and is humble, calm, and intelligent. He fits the image of the wise man in Western ideology. His warranted respect from everyone within his rule can be seen from the strict discipline and clear system of rewards and punishments he enforces. At least within his rule, no one does not regard him highly.

While the Son of Heaven was delivering his passionate speech, several miles away, Jack’s fleet had fully armed themselves.

Compared to the disciplined rule of the Son of Heaven on the other shore, Jack’s side presented another kind of picture.

These people, all real pirates, are used to being disorganized and free-spirited on ordinary days. They are desperate criminals exuding a wicked aura, and it’s impossible to expect them to line up in an orderly fashion.

"Where is the Son of Heaven?" Jack skillfully climbed the mast and asked as he crawled into the lookout tower.

The young man responsible for gathering intelligence was observing at distance with a telescope, "He’s already here, holding the pep rally over there."

"Keep an eye on him!"

Jack sneered and looked down at the deck below.

"Kim, Baz, pick a few clever guys to go ashore with me later. The rest of you, keep an eye on the ships under the Son of Heaven’s command and report any movement to me immediately!"

They have already collected four, seven, and eight, and they’re just missing nine. Once they obtain fragment nine, in terms of the speed of advancement after entering the city, their advantage will surpass the Son of Heaven’s!

So Jack’s target is already locked onto the Son of Heaven. In his view, since the Son of Heaven controls two entrance locations, he must have made some preparations in advance. Even if they can’t directly snatch fragment nine, they must at least find a way to track the entrance location.

"Boss, we received a report from our spy. Some of the Son of Heaven’s people have been found near Luoweng Island!" At this moment, one of his men reported some news.

"Luoweng Island?"

Jack, stunned, quickly pulled out the map of the Evil Spirit Sea Area and searched it.

Luoweng Island is a remote small island located in the bottom right corner of the Evil Spirit Sea Area, close to its edge.

"How many people did you find?" Jack asked.

"About a hundred and fifty."

"A Hundred f... " Jack furrowed his brows upon hearing this. If the opponent’s force was too small, he could assume it was a diversion meant to mislead them.

But the number is around a hundred and fifty, not too large, but not small either. This is at least one-tenth of the enemy’s total number. If this is a diversion, it felt too forced...

"What should we do, Boss? Should we send some people to look into it?" Jack’s man asked.

"First... send a ship over there to take a look!" Jack, after deliberating for a few seconds, made a decision.

They have a total of four warships. One ship is a quarter of their combat power, which shows how important Jack deemed this information to be.

"What about the other family? Has the Ghost Captain appeared yet?" Jack asked again.

"Not yet... " his man replied, shaking his head.

The Ghost Captain naturally is also a key target they were keeping an eye on. However, all of the spies distributed around Turtle Island had reported that they hadn’t spotted the legendary Ghost Ship yet.

"What’s the matter? It’s almost time, and they still haven’t shown up... " Jack grumbled to himself.

They’ve had a clear view of the Son of Heaven’s movement from the get-go. In contrast, the Ghost Captain, much like a real ghost, keeps a low profile and always seems elusive...

Honestly, Jack preferred a visible enemy like the Son of Heaven. Even if the Son of Heaven was powerful enough to make people despair, at least he could grasp and undercut him.

However, compared to someone like the Ghost Captain, who clearly has strength that rivals the Son of Heaven, but behaves too low-key, Jack felt uneasy. He was like a poisonous snake hidden in the dark waiting for the right moment to make his dangerous move. This kind of man would keep quiet until he fiercely startled everyone with his move. Ironically, it’s this type of enemy that made Jack feel most uncomfortable.
