It was Tang Zheng's first time seeing pirates, so he wasn't afraid. Instead, he was a little curious. Looking at Anne's attitude, he felt that she was a little silly and cute. It was a waste of saliva to talk with these useless people.
The pirates were holding rifles, and the muzzles were waving around. It was obvious that they were a motley crew. Tang Zheng wasn't even interested in making a move. Instead, he wanted to see what the other party was going to do.
"This person is scared silly. Haha, useless man." The pirate smirked.
Anne didn't expect the two fishermen to resist. Seeing the pirate pouncing towards her, she reached her hand to her thigh and pulled out a pocket pistol. She pointed it at the pirate and shouted, "Don't move, or I'll shoot."
"Haha, you want to scare us with a toy gun?" The pirate wasn't afraid at all. Instead, the buck-toothed pirate swaggered towards Anne.
"I'm really going to shoot." Anne's body trembled.
Bang!
The gunshot shocked everyone. The pirate almost pulled the trigger and shot at them, but he restrained himself in the end.
This was because Annie's shot did not hit anyone, and the bullet was thousands of miles off target.
"Hahaha …" Buck-toothed laughed wildly. "You dare to shoot with this kind of marksmanship? Brother will teach you how to play with a gun."
... ¢.
Buck-toothed grabbed the pistol and threw it into the sea. He pointed the rifle muzzle at Anne and shouted angrily, "See, this is a gun. A man's gun. Hehe, I'll let you see a man's other, more powerful gun in a moment."
When the other pirates heard this, they laughed even more unscrupulously. Their eyes kept sizing up Anne.
Anne's heart trembled. She quickly hugged her chest, but it didn't have the slightest power. Instead, it looked delicate and pitiful, causing ripples in people's hearts.
"Tie them up."
Several pirates hurriedly tied the three people up with ropes. Tang Zheng and Huang Ziyang didn't resist because Tang Zheng had a new idea.
These pirates weren't good people. They had burned, killed, and plundered countless times. Since he had encountered them today, it was their bad luck.
If he could get rid of these guys while he was at it, he would be doing a good deed.
Pirates were a group of people, and it was impossible for there to be only a few of them. Therefore, Tang Zheng was prepared to pretend to be a hostage and infiltrate the pirate's base, then remove this malignant tumor in one fell swoop.
"There's a puppy here. We'll have dog meat tonight," Buck-teeth shouted excitedly when he saw Xiao Bai.
"Capture him."
Xiao Bai opened his mouth to protest but was stopped by Tang Zheng's gaze. However, when he saw the pirate approaching with a knife, Xiao Bai did not sit still. He jumped into the sea and disappeared.
"Sigh, what bad luck. That little bastard is actually so smart. He escaped."
"Jumping into this boundless sea means certain death, so it would be better to make us a side dish," Buck-teeth said regretfully.
Tang Zheng was not worried about Xiao Bai, because he saw a white figure falling into the ship from afar.
"This ship is high-grade goods. We really got a big fish this time," the pirate said excitedly as he looked around and knocked on the side of the ship.
"This ship is yours, right, little girl?" Buck-teeth asked Anne.
"It's mine."
"Then who are they? Looking at them, it's obvious they're not with you. Their clothes are also shabby, so it's obvious they don't have much money. It's better to just push them into the sea," Buck-teeth said fiercely.
"Stop, they're my friends. If you dare to touch them, don't think of getting a penny," Anne shouted to stop him.
Tang Zheng's heart skipped a beat, this mermaid is quite loyal.
"Hehe, so you must be very rich. How much can you pay to redeem your lives?" Buck-teeth licked his lips and asked expectantly.
"How much do you want?" Anne raised her head and asked.
When the pirates heard this, their eyes lit up.
When Tang Zheng saw this, he sighed inwardly. This mermaid really didn't have much social experience. Wouldn't it seem like he was a big piece of fat meat if she said that?
These pirates wouldn't let her go so easily and would even ask for an exorbitant price.
"Fifty million!" Buck-teeth stretched out a hand and said excitedly and nervously.
This price tag was already very high because it was equivalent to three hundred million dollars in Hua Xia dollars. This was truly an exorbitant price tag.
"No problem." Unexpectedly, Anne agreed without even blinking.
Buck-teeth's expression clearly became more excited. He thought to himself that the price he offered was too low for the other party to agree so readily.
However, he didn't immediately increase the price. The people were in his hands, so it wouldn't be too late to increase the price after the fifty million arrived.
Tang Zheng sighed inwardly. This was going to be troublesome. If she hadn't met him, he was afraid this mermaid would really be out of luck.
The sailboat and speedboat rode the wind and broke through the waves. After a long time, they finally saw a small island. Looking from afar, the island was filled with rugged rocks and looked quite imposing.
"There's actually such a treasure land in the middle of the sea. These pirates really picked up a treasure." Tang Zheng only took a glance from afar and discovered that this was a place that was easy to defend and difficult to attack.
The entrance to the island was a narrow waterway that was difficult for large ships to pass through. Only speedboats and small boats could pass through. Moreover, this waterway was flanked on both sides by sheer cliffs. Tang Zheng also saw scattered figures on the cliffs, who were obviously pirates.
"The defense is tight. No wonder these pirates are so arrogant. However, technology is so advanced now, and these pirates are so rampant. Aren't they afraid of being attacked by various countries?" Tang Zheng muttered in his mind.
Although pirates were powerful, they were still like clay chickens and pottery dogs when faced with ordinary people, real state machinery, and an attack from the military. They couldn't withstand a single blow.
Tang Zheng couldn't figure it out, so he decided to wait and see. Moreover, this place was already very close to the Dragon Palace, so he didn't mind staying for a few more days.
"Haha, Buck-teeth, the Sea King will definitely be very happy with such a big harvest this time." A pirate shouted excitedly when he saw Buck-teeth return with three hostage, especially the radiant Anne.
Buck-teeth's face flushed red as he chuckled. "This is my good luck. Let me tell you, this little girl is willing to pay 50 million for safety."
"50 million." The other pirates opened their mouths wide. This was really a big deal, and they all stared at Anne like a tiger eyeing its prey.
Anne wasn't afraid at all. She raised her head like a proud princess and looked at the pirates with disdain. She muttered to herself, "A group of pathetic people who let their hearts fall into depravity because of money."
Tang Zheng smiled bitterly. This mermaid was not only stupid because of money, but she was also a bit of a clean freak.
"Let's go and see the Sea King." Buck-teeth kicked Tang Zheng's leg and cursed.
Tang Zheng's face flashed with anger. Buck-teeth, you just wait. You dare to kick me? I'll make you suffer later.
In the center of the island, hidden among many tropical plants, a stone building was particularly eye-catching. Tang Zheng saw it from afar.
"This is the residence of the Sea King. This Sea King is the leader of this group of pirates." Tang Zheng pondered.
Creak!
Two dark pirates pulled open a huge stone door, and Buck-teeth led the three of them in. The floor was paved with stone slabs, and the air was filled with the smell of the salty sea breeze. The light was somewhat dim.
A big man sat boldly on a huge throne. This big man had a full beard and was muscular. He was bare-chested and only wore a pair of shorts on his lower body. His skin was dark, and his eyes were bright and full of expression.
Two Western beauties sat on the armrests on both sides of the throne. Only a few pieces of gauze covered their bodies, so they were almost naked.
In any case, Tang Zheng could clearly see their body parts under the gauze.
However, these two Western beauties had dull expressions, as if they were walking corpses without souls.
"Buck-teeth, how was the harvest this time?" the Sea King asked.
Buck-teeth knelt before the Sea King and said respectfully, "Sea King, the harvest this time was quite bountiful. We caught a big hostage, and this woman agreed to pay 50 million to redeem herself."
The Sea King's gaze turned and fixed on Anne. He couldn't hide his pleasant surprise and said, "Haha, what a stunning beauty!"
After saying that, he impatiently stood up and casually threw the two beauties beside him to the ground. Then, he strode toward Anne.
Anne subconsciously took a step back and shouted, "What are you doing?"
The Sea King grabbed Anne into his arms and said with an evil smile, "I've never seen such a stunning beauty before. Buck-teeth, you've done a great service this time."
Buck-teeth was unable to restrain his joy.
"Get lost. If you dare touch me, you won't get a single cent." Anne loudly shouted to stop him.
The Sea King's hand subconsciously stopped and released Anne. He laughed mischievously and said, "Don't worry, I'm a very trustworthy businessman. As long as you give me the money, I definitely won't touch you."
Anne heaved a sigh of relief, and some color returned to her pale cheeks.
Tang Zheng secretly shook his head. This silly girl actually believed this pirate leader. If she could believe his words, then pigs could fly.
The Sea King's gaze roamed over Annie's body as he thought to himself, "Beauty, when your money arrives, I'll slowly enjoy you. Getting both the person and the money at the same time, that's the style of the Sea King, haha."
"Make the call and transfer the money." The Sea King handed a satellite phone to Anne.
Annie hurriedly dialed the number, and the call went through immediately. However, the Sea King snatched the phone away and shouted into the phone, "Your relative is in our hands. Prepare to transfer 50 million to us, or I will immediately throw him into the sea to feed the sharks."
"Who are you? Why do you have this phone? "A dignified man's voice came from the satellite phone.
"Beauty, what's your name? He actually doesn't believe me," the Sea King asked.
"Anne."
"Anne is in our hands. Do you hear me clearly now?" the Sea King said arrogantly.
The other party's breathing clearly paused, and then he said in a deep voice, "Let me talk to Anne."
"We have always complied with our customers' requests. We can satisfy your request." The Sea King handed the phone to Anne's mouth.
"Father," Anne called out.
"Anne, don't worry. We'll definitely get you out."
The Sea King immediately took the phone back and said, "Now you know that I didn't lie to you. Transfer the money to this account immediately … If you don't receive the money within an hour, you won't be able to see your precious daughter again."
"It's too difficult to gather 50 million in an hour. Six hours."
"If I don't see the money in three hours, you can just wait to collect the corpse."
