NovelOnlineChapter 2343 The Man in the Dark
Basked 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 eyes 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
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtan 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.”
