Ella Pemberton’s words were extremely clear and slow and bore no hint of concession.
"As long as you’re willing to surrender, I can guarantee your safety. But once you take action, there will be no possibility of escape."
This was not merely her standing firm!
This was the steadfastness of the Eastlandian Navy, the entire nation!
They had to save Becca Reyes without letting the pirates escape!
The pirate with the gun seemed to understand, his expression visibly changing, while his companion, who seemed to understand nothing at all, grew increasingly anxious and agitated.
Without changing her expression, Ella Pemberton began to pay close attention, focusing her gaze on the pirate with the gun. She continued to speak slowly, "One more thing, our sniper can end your lives at any moment."
The pirate with the gun was stunned, his expression slowly turning rigid.
After a pause, the pirate with the gun stared at them but subtly moved to the side, whispering a few words to the other pirate.
The other pirate’s mood was clearly more volatile, babbling a string of words that grew louder and more frantic in tone.
For a while.
The two argued briefly, seeming to have reached an agreement, pulling Becca Reyes back a few steps.
"I don’t trust your navy; you’ve always been cunning. Let them go!"
The pirate with the gun yelled at them angrily.
Meanwhile, the other pirate took out a military knife that he had snatched from Becca Reyes and without hesitation plunged it into her shoulder from behind in full view!
The sudden pain caused Becca Reyes to lean forward and cry out uncontrollably.
Biting her lip tightly, Becca Reyes used all her strength to swallow back the screams, but the pain sweeping in from her shoulder made her sweat profusely.
At that moment, almost all the soldiers cursed the pirates’ ancestors in their hearts!
Dammit! You’re given a chance to escape, and you don’t appreciate it, instead heading straight for the line of fire—are you intent on seeking death?!
In an instant, the eyes of all the soldiers gripping their guns turned fiercer, their grip on their weapons tightening as if they might pull the trigger at any moment.
And the originally pacifying psychology was shattered instantaneously by the cold steel blade that entered and exited in front of their eyes!
Among them, Daniel Ramos, who had been unconcerned before, suddenly became dangerous and cold when he saw the fresh blood. A bloodthirsty sentiment gradually emerged from the depths of his eyes.
"Don’t act rashly!"
Feeling their anger, Ella Pemberton’s voice was slightly hoarse, yet she maintained her calm and rational demeanor.
Since the opposition had done such a thing in front of them, it meant they were undaunted. If they acted rashly, it could lead to a situation where both sides would go down together!
Whether the pirates lived or died didn’t matter much to them, but no matter what, they had to make the utmost effort to ensure Becca Reyes survived!
But before a new plan could be formed, Ella Pemberton saw the pirate with the gun looking towards her, slowly forming a smile.
Suddenly, an ominous feeling struck her from behind.
"We have reinforcements."
The pirate with the gun smiled at her, speaking in his unclear foreign accent, shattering Ella Pemberton’s nascent strategy.
"Whistle—whistle—whistle—"
The previously knife-wielding pirate now put two fingers to his lips and started whistling.
As this unexpected sound was made, the soldiers with guns on this side all looked at the two pirates with tension and vigilance, their attention divided as they monitored the surroundings for any sudden changes.
A call for reinforcements?
"Whistle—whistle—whistle—"
"Whistle—whistle—whistle—"
The sound of the whistle continued, but after waiting for a while, there were still no changes in the surroundings.
"What’s going on, just putting on a show?"
"If you have something, come out quickly, dammit, you’re killing us with suspense."
The two at the very back couldn’t help but mutter.
Blowing so loudly, yet nobody shows up—what’s the point of that, huh? What’s the point?!
Just as the two had spoken, the leader of their group glared at them, scaring them into immediately shutting their mouths, not daring to make another peep.
"What’s wrong?"
After whistling more than ten times and still not hearing any response, the pirate couldn’t help but stop the whistling and asked the pirate with the gun using their native language.
"Don’t know."
The pirate with the gun furrowed his brow, equally clueless.
They had dispatched a party to set up an ambush around where the hostages were being held, in case those cunning navy personnel decided to negotiate with their captain while sending another team to search for additional hostages.
This was supposed to be their backup plan.
They hadn’t expected that the navy would actually be so cunning!
Originally, the two of them were part of the ambush outside, waiting to move upon hearing the whistle signal. But when they unexpectedly witnessed their brother getting killed by the navy, they could no longer control themselves; they emerged to take this navy officer as a hostage, intending to exchange her for the captured pirates.
Now—

They had whistled for the ambush party; they should have shown up by now, shouldn’t they?!
"Oh, are you looking for them?"
Unexpectedly, a teasing female voice floated over leisurely.
