"Oh, looking for them, are you?"
The teasing female voice drifted over unexpectedly.
It was perfect Solara language, precise and clear pronunciation, and even carried a hint of the pirates’ dialect.
The unexpected voice—
Not only did it surprise the two pirates, but the navy and hostages also unconsciously looked in that direction.
Dressed in a military uniform, tall and with a cool demeanor, Flossie Wright strolled out from the underbrush, her face smeared with camo paint, which failed to hide her clean and fresh appearance.
Her calm and collected emergence was already a surprise to them, but what followed on the rope led by Flossie Wright...
Uh, left them speechless.
Those who saw what was behind her couldn’t stop their eyes and jaws from dropping.
In her left hand, she pulled a thick rope, and behind her were eight people with their hands and feet bound—all tied together by a single rope, with gaps of only about one meter between them.
The worst part was, they were all barefoot, their shoes lost somewhere, but everyone could see their socks stuffed into their own mouths.
Just the thought of the taste was enough to make one grimace.
And what took their breath away even more was—
Since they couldn’t walk with their hands and feet bound, the pirates could only hop forward, making sure to keep up the pace as well.
This was understandable.
But those eight pirates were truly hopping!
Eight men, at the same rhythm, as if performing, hopped in unison. All nouns associated with pirates, like terror, cruelty, bloodthirst, ruthlessness, and coldness...
In that moment, vanished without a trace.
The sight was so absurd it would make anyone burst into laughter. The tense atmosphere among the navy eased a lot, while the two pirates holding Becca Reyes stared at the scene with disbelief.
It wasn’t until Flossie Wright was about ten meters away that the two pirates snapped out of their shock.
"Don’t come any closer!"
The pirate holding the dagger suddenly lunged at Becca Reyes, placing the blade across her neck, eyeing Flossie Wright warily.
Since the opponent spoke their language, he felt no hesitation to speak his mind.
Seeing this, Flossie Wright halted her steps and raised her hand to signal the pirates behind her to stop.
Quickly, the pirates received the message and all ceased their movement; however, pain and frustration were still visible on their faces. Already dark-skinned, they looked as if they were rubbed with charcoal, gloomy beyond words.
Aside from the two who had struck preemptively, the other eight hidden pirates had all been found by Flossie Wright.
And they were all beaten to a pulp!
Some of the more stubborn ones even bore the marks of her knife.
Constrained by her limit on their mobility and the bitter lessons they had learned at her hands, they dared not revolt in the slightest and instead followed her orders, enduring the pain and hopping obediently.
"Two choices," standing her ground, Flossie Wright lightly arched her brow, idly toying with the Folding Military Knife in her hand, and declared in their language, pausing after each word, "One, put down your weapons, and you live; two, continue to resist, and you die."
Unlike Ella Pemberton’s options, the words that Flossie Wright spoke were certain and decisive, leaving no room for negotiation.
Live or die!
She exuded confidence, holding absolute certainty, as if any move against the hostages in their hands would give her every reason to kill them on the spot!
