Currently, Sheyan could be considered as the one with the lightest injuries, hence he took the lead to patrol the ship, before dispersing his men to different parts of the ship. He then got someone to support Scarface Harry into the cabin below. Even though there was only one lit candle in the cabin, and the light was rather weak and dim, it was enough to illuminate the room. This candle was personally lit by Sheyan.
To Scarface Harry who had suffered a huge head injury, the weak light actually made him feel more comfortable. Without thinking much, he laid down on the nearby bed. However, after lying down, he still insisted on moving the remaining four most valuable boxes to the side. While doing so, he placed his sturdy right leg on top of them. It was obvious that he didn't trust anyone. In the end, he slammed the cabin door shut with a loud bang.
The ship silently sailed along the coastline amidst the sound of the waves. In this era, sailing in the middle of the night was rather dangerous, if one did not pay attention they would bump into the reefs by the shore, resulting in the ship being destroyed and the crew perishing. Sheyan stood upright at the bow of the ship, silently gazing into the distant darkness. The few pirates by his side were looking at him with reverence and admiration. After the previous series of events, no one dared to disregard Sheyan's words anymore. Because those who dared to question him were mostly dead.
Suddenly, Sheyan turned his head, sweeping his gaze across the surrounding pirates. His gaze carried an indescribable sharpness, causing the exposed skin of the pirates to feel a slight stabbing pain, as though the tip of a sharp blade was gently touching their skin.
"I just checked, there is still a small lifeboat on this ship, I have decided to leave."
Sheyan suddenly opened his mouth. His voice wasn't loud, but within it was an unquestionable determination. "I wish everyone good luck."
The surrounding pirates were stunned, Charlie's reaction was even more intense, his eyes wide open and his mouth agape.
"Why? Master, we are already safe! That damned castle is already 6 nautical miles away, at most 15 minutes, we can return to the Bell and Mug. And Lord Ammand has always been a person who rewards and punishes clearly, what awaits us is cheers, rewards, fine wine and golden roasted chicken! Why would you have such a ridiculous thought? " “
Sheyan coldly replied.
"Charlie, no matter how loud you shout, Scarface Harry won't be able to hear you. The soundproofing of the cabin is very good, plus the sound of the wind and waves is not soft. Before boarding the Bell and Mug, what awaits us will be cheers, but what awaits us will be knives, lead bullets and shrouds."
He surveyed the crowd, noticing the disbelief on the faces of the pirates. Some even opened their mouths to speak, but Sheyan was the first to shake his head and smile bitterly.
"I know you don't trust my judgment, but it doesn't matter. This isn't the first time something like this has happened."
Sheyan's words carried an intense psychological hint. When he uttered those words, the pirates instantly recalled the terrifying rain of arrows at the castle entrance. They couldn't help but shiver, as some couldn't help touching their bandaged wounds that were still oozing out blood. The firm conviction in their hearts began to reveal a sliver of crack. Sheyan's words were like an unstoppable evil rain of arrows, as the pirates instantly recalled the terrifying rain of arrows at the castle entrance. Only Charlie shook his head repeatedly.
"That's impossible, that's impossible! The captain is definitely not that kind of person. "
Sheyan revealed a disdainful smile.
"Mr. Charlie, I just want to ask you a question."
Charlie was stunned as he asked.
"Master, what do you want to say?"
Sheyan calmly replied.
"What is your ultimate goal as a pirate?"
Charlie was at a loss, thinking for a moment before replying.
"Of course it's to plunder more money."
Sheyan's lips curled into a cold smile.
"Why do you need so much money? Drinking, gambling? And then? "
"And then ….." Charlie hesitated. "It should be to find a woman to marry." “
"Good." Sheyan stretched out his index finger.
"You've said the main point. Ultimately, you still want to find a woman to marry and carry on your family line. You can be a pirate, your future wife will accompany you as a pirate, but what about your children? Do you intend to let them be pirates who will be hanged or buried in the sea at any time? Do you wish for your descendants to be like you, drowning in rum every day, spending every penny in a gambling den, or becoming a thief whose hands will be chopped off at any time, or becoming a prostitute who will be trampled on by thousands of men? Tell me, is this the life you want? Tell me loudly! Mister Charlie! "
Facing Sheyan's interrogation, Charlie stood rooted to the ground, while the rest of the pirates revealed a blank expression. Sheyan snorted in disdain.
"Let me tell you the ultimate goal hidden in your hearts. Every pirate wishes to earn enough money and wash their hands of it, buying some land in the countryside, marrying a wife and living a peaceful and prosperous life. Eating red wine and steak on weekends and weekends, that's a life that even you damned fools look forward to. Doesn't Ammand that brat have any aspirations? Or do you think he is willing to be a pirate captain for the rest of his life? "
The pirates glanced at each other, their eyes gradually revealing fear. They had already guessed what Sheyan was about to say.
"Now! Now is the time! If we deliver this treasure that even the devil's eyeballs would fall out of their sockets to the hands of the mighty Son of the Black Sea, then all conditions would be ripe. He would have enough wealth to pay the ransom demanded by that old hag, the Queen. Even with the remaining wealth, he would be able to purchase a small castle and nearby land! Under such circumstances, everyone! Please use your * sshole to think about it! Do you think he would be willing to be called the mighty pirate captain Ammand, or the honorable Viscount Ammand? Why would he split his wealth with you? Under such circumstances, the only value of your existence is to enrich the menu of the caribbean sharks! Looking at your pitiful faces, I really want to use my shoe to trample on you! Don't use such a naive expression to look at me, such a simple logic and I have to waste my saliva and precious time! "
When Sheyan spoke the last few sentences, his tone had already changed to one of gnashing his teeth and hating iron for not living up to his expectations! He once again surveyed the ashen faces of these pirates, sighing as he lowered his eyes and said.
"Who else wants to stop me?"
The surroundings were deathly silent, only the sound of the waves could be heard clearly. Sheyan shrugged his shoulders and said.
"Very well, then I'll leave first."
As he spoke, he went to untie the rope that was tied to the lifeboat. Suddenly, a pirate named Watt stood up and anxiously called out.
"Sir! If you leave, what will happen to us? “
Sheyan snappily replied.
"If I didn't guess wrongly, Henry should be Ammand's castle butler. Therefore, you guys can be like Charlie and lick Henry's toes and haemorrhoids. At the same time, you guys can voluntarily give up your wealth, then there should be a 50% chance of survival. “
Charlie's face alternated between green and white, but he didn't dare to retort. As for Watt, he obviously had a certain amount of prestige amongst the remaining pirates. He glanced at the surrounding pirates, and suddenly lowered his voice and mysteriously whispered.
"Sir! Why don't we get rid of Henry? Then, this huge fortune will be ours! "
Sheyan smirked as he glanced around.
"Do you have the guts?"
Watt fiercely slapped his thighs and said.
"Even if Scarface Henry was previously hailed as a viking lion, he is now old and only half alive! It doesn't look like it'll be too difficult to get rid of this guy. "
Sheyan glanced at them disdainfully and said.
"Is that so? You must know, talking behind someone's back is one thing, but facing it in person is another! If I agree to your request, I may not be able to reap any benefits. Instead, I will have to face more risks. As long as we carry our swords and muskets in front of Scarface Henry, he will definitely know that I was the one who told you everything. Then, this boorish and powerful viking will go crazy and hunt me down! Every single muscle fiber of his will explode with strength, and he will not spare any effort in exerting it on my body! If at that time you are still a coward, ohye, there is nothing more exciting in this world. "
Watt's expression changed, but he forced a smile and said.
"Crew head, don't say that, we are all great lads. Such a situation won't happen. " “
Sheyan coldly replied.
"I don't believe … …"
His voice dragged out, but there wasn't the slightest hint of hesitation. Instead, it was suffused with a trace of callousness.
"Unless, each of you can stab Carter who is lying on the deck. “
Apart from Sheyan's servant Charlie, Carter was the last member of the 'pro-Henry faction' on the ship. His right lung and thigh were severely damaged by the terrifying rain of arrows. Therefore, he could only lie in the shelter of the rear deck and struggle for his last breath. If these pirates in front of him were to stain their hands with his blood, then it would undoubtedly mean that they would no longer be able to compromise with Henry. Furthermore, Watt was a vicious and merciless person. He knew this was the only way to keep Sheyan here. He immediately signaled to two of his close companions by his side. Then, he stuffed Carter's mouth and stabbed him without hesitation!
With Watt taking the lead, his other two companions naturally followed suit. Then, the three of them started eyeing the remaining pirates covetously. Naturally, if anyone dared to show even the slightest bit of hesitation, the three hardened pirates would of course use their gleaming blood stained blades to slash at the pirates! (To be continued.
