Noon, 12 o'' clock sharp.


    The wind was calm, and the sun was high in the sky.


    At this moment, the headless corpses that were not deaf had be food for the Sharks. And his head was taken back to the submarine by Graybeard ... Probably to be kept as a souvenir (or perhaps an ornament).


    On the beach, arge pool of blood was emitting a fishy smell under the sunlight, causing the nearby Pirates to frown.


    However, they still had to stick to their posts and wait for the arrival of the twenty-two people on the ind.


    "Guys, pay attention." Not long after, a sharp-eyed pirate leader was the first to see the figure in the jungle. He immediately shouted to remind hispanions to get ready.


    "Rx ..." Max, who was standing in the back row, said in a calm tone,"this is a deal, not a war. They just want to leave alive." He paused for a moment."Look ... They don''t even have any weapons."


    Just as he was speaking, Tuckers led the way out of the forest by the beach, while the others formed a straight line behind him.


    This kind of positioning was also carefully thought out ... If the Pirates suddenly turned hostile and raised their guns to shoot, the area that would be shot would be slightly smaller, and the people in the back row would still have a chance to escape.


    "It''s an honor to meet you, Mr. Ts. " Max was the first to step forward and greet the other party."I''m your fan."


    "Child ... I ..." Tunas looked at Max with aplicated expression."...I''m very grateful for your support, but ..."


    "Hehe ... You don''t have to say it out loud, I understand." Max smiled and replied,"to be worshipped by a person with a terrifying molecr form, the person involved must be feeling very subtle. At a time like this, it''s fine as long as you don''tment ... I won''t mind. "


    "Yeah, that''s how Arsenal handled me." At this moment,den happened to pass by them and overheard their conversation, upon which uncle Deng interjected nonchntly ...


    Toads and Max were both stunned for a few seconds upon hearing this, and a sense of awe welled up in their hearts as they looked atden''s back ...


    "Uh-huh ... Anyway ..." A few secondster, Max said again,"Mr. mshell ... Mr. Carbon should have already told you the details of the deal. I don''t need to emphasize the details of the boarding, right?"


    "Don''t worry. " Ts replied,"we don''t have anymunication devices on us, except ... This." As he spoke, he took out a tablet (at least it looked like it) from his bag (the big backpack had been reced with a satchel)."Stephen asked me to hand this to you personally. He will contact you through this."


    "Oh ..." Max took the tablet and said,"eh? Why is this tablet so weird? There isn''t even a logo, and the surrounding sockets are notplete ..."


    "This isn''t a tablet." This time, it was the block yer who passed by them who interrupted. He nced at Max and said calmly,"this is just a ... Uh ... I don''t know how to call it. Anyway ... I took out a LED screen from the toilet in your base. After some slight modifications, it can be used as a tablet. "


    "Ha ... Haha ..." Max''s mouth twitched."When I renovated the toilet ... I really shouldn''t have put this behind the partition ..."


    "Little brother, one day you''ll understand that there''s no future in watching cartoons when you''re shitting." Bu Bo, who was following closely behind, stuffed a stick of cannabis into Max''s shirt pocket."Keep it, no need to thank me."


    Looking at these weirdos float by one by one, Max could only Mutter in his heart,""What kind of F * cking people are they helping ..."


    嗞嗞——嗞嗞——


    Suddenly, the noise of electromaic waves could be heard.


    mshell turned his head and found that this was the sound of the Pirates on the cruise ship using their portable T-type scanner (a device used for body-searching, able to confirm if the target was carrying any electronic devices without touching them).


    "It''s not that I don''t trust you, but I''m just being cautious. " Seeing mshell''s reaction, Max immediately exined.


    "Ah ... I know," mshell immediately lowered his head and looked at Max."I also know ... From the moment the deal was closed to the moment James was killed, you''ve done a simr inspection of the entire Dolphin and cleaned up all themunication equipment on board."


    "Hehe ... The surveince cameras on the cruise ship are indeed under your control ..." Maxughed.


    "Yes, I am." mshell said bluntly.


    "Your answer is quite straightforward ..." Max Read.


    "Stephen said that you must have already guessed this, so there''s no need to hide it." mshell replied.


    "Tsk ... What an unpleasant fellow." Max thought.


    "I have to thank you ... For not having your men remove the cameras during the inspection," mshell continued.


    "No need to thank me." Max raised his eyebrows."I also hope that the deal will go smoothly."


    They both understood that the cameras on the ship had to be kept. That was the only thing that made Steven, who was at the base, happy. Only by using the coal could he confirm that there were no Pirates hiding on the ship, nor were there any hidden bombs.


    Originally ... In this kind of "mutual threat" transaction, there was no trust to speak of. In order to prevent the other party from going back on their wordter, this was necessary.


    "Then ... Without further ado, I''ll board the ship as well." Seeing that the others had passed the inspection one after another, mshell was ready to follow.


    "Have a safe journey, Mr. Tunas." Max smiled and said goodbye.


    mshell, however, couldn''t smile. He only nodded and left silently.


    …………


    An hourter, on the deck of the parrot.


    "How long do we have to wait? You should die!" The grey-bearded man was sitting in front of a round table, with a knife in his left hand and ... Nothing in his right hand (it was a hook anyway). He knocked on the table and shouted,"I want to have lunch on the deck, how hard is that?"


    "Calm down, dad," Max, who was sitting next to his father and waiting for his meal, said,"we searched the ship, searched the people, executed the guests, and sent them off ... We were short on manpower, so I asked the people in the kitchen toe out and help. They only returned to the kitchen half an hour ago when the dolphin anchored. "


    "Hmph ... A bunch of useless things." The gray-bearded man''s attitude softened after being persuaded by his son, but he immediately began to ramble."When I was doing odd jobs on the ship, it only took me five minutes to make a good meal."


    "Raw fish slices?" Maxughed.


    "Uh ..." The adorable thing about the grey-bearded man was that he was often speechless after he choked.


    Creak creak creak creak creak


    At this moment, a signal interference sound was heard.


    Max''s expression tightened, and he hurriedly picked up the "toilet tablet" on the table.


    As expected ... Three secondster, Stephen said," Carbon (Feng bujue) appeared on the screen.


    He was still sitting in the base, facing the camera with a leisurely expression.


    "Hi, little brat, you''ve been waiting, haven''t you?" Feng bujue chuckled."Haha ... Actually, I wanted to contact you earlier, but when I was out digging, I ran into an annoying parrot. It dared to attack me with bird poop, so I grabbed a piece of ore that I had just dug out and gave it a hard blow." He shrugged his shoulders."Anyway ... I was a little dyed."


    "You ... You actually left the base just now ..." Max had a look of disbelief on his face."Who are you lying to?" He sneered,"even an idiot wouldn''t be able to leave the surveince at the critical moment before the cruise set sail, let alone you ... Aren''t you afraid that we''ll kill everyone on the ship and rush to the ind while you''re distracted?"


    "Of course I''m not afraid." Feng bujue interrupted the man expressionlessly."There are two reasons for not being afraid." He then continued,"first, the right to monitor the ind and the cruise ship, as well as the right to contact you and me ... Are all in my hands. From you...There''s no way to know if I''m sitting in front of the monitor. So, whether I''m sitting here or not ... I can still intimidate you. " He tilted his head and said,"hehe ... Max, it''s easier to scheme against a smart person like you than a stupid person like your father ... Because your actions were all within my expectations."


    "Tsk ..." Max''s expression was ferocious."Arrogant ... You''d better pray that I''ll let you die ..."


    "Second!" Feng bujue ignored the man''s words and stood up to walk toward the camera."Hehe ... Hahahaha ..." He suddenly started tough eerily."I''ll tell you in person."


    At this point, the image suddenly stopped.


    "What ..." Max barely had time to make a sound before something incredible happened.


    "Secondly ..." Brother Jue''s voice appeared within two meters of her."I''ll emphasize it again, I don''t care about those people''s lives."


    At this moment, fear was like a pair of invisible hands, tightly gripping Max and the gray-bearded man''s hearts. Their blood seemed to turn cold.


    He saw brother Jue, who was dressed like a pirate (the weird thing was that he was carrying a backpack), standing at the edge of the Round Table with a round tray in his hand.


    "You ... What are you ..." The grey-bearded man and Max looked like they had seen a ghost. Their lips trembled, and they couldn''t say anything.


    "Here''s your lunch, Captain. " Feng bujue, on the other hand, looked at the father and son with a smile. He opened the cover of the tray."Today''s main dish is ... Mark II hand grenades!"


    Before he finished speaking, he reached out with both hands and quickly picked up the two grenades on the te and put them to his mouth.


    "No! "Don''t be scared!"Max roared and wanted to rush forward to stop him.


    Unfortunately, it was toote.


    The next second, brother Jue bit on both rings and grinned.""Hehe ... Surprise!" (To be continued.) "
