Chapter 424: Chapter 424: We Are Pirates! Not Food Delivery Couriers!
A few kiloters away, three fully ard ships that looked like warships were heading toward the yacht, with the lead ship’s main cannon barrel emitting wisps of white smoke. That earlier shot was fired from this ship!
The people on board were wearing uniform combat gear, carrying a large amount of weapons and equipnt, but they emitted a lewd aura, with a strong scent of blood surrounding each of them.
“Looks like we’ve hit their deck!” One of the n observed Fang Jueyu’s ship through a telescope.
“Which country’s ship is it?”
“Seems like a Huaxia vessel!” Although the man couldn’t read Chinese, “Heavenly Ship” was written on the side of the ship, and they deduced the nationality from the structure of the characters.
“A Huaxia vessel?” The figure, who seed like a leader, tipped his hat.
This person was Hanuma, the leader of this band of pirates. A few years ago, he was just a minor leader among the many pirates in Somali waters. When international peacekeeping forces ca to suppress these pirates, many leaders were caught, but so managed to escape.
Hanuma was one of the bolder ones among these pirates. He brazenly returned to Somali waters afterward, as the plundered goods were not kept in their hideouts but stored on uninhabited islands.
Using his mory and experience, he found a large stash of armants and wealth left by the pirates on those islands and then left the Somali waters with his gang.
However, though they all escaped, their information was intercepted by nearby international forces. There was a bounty of millions of US Dollars on his head, making it impossible for him to take all the wealth to any country to live a life of luxury. He found no place on any continent.
Then they ca to this sea area and discovered the “South African Prison” zone. This sea area was unpredictable and mysterious, serving as a perfect hiding place, with many natural caves on its islands where they could build shelters and hide their pirate ships.
So, Hanuma took root here. Gradually, those exiled pirates were gathered here, and Hanuma’s power grew.
Now, the pirates in this “South African Prison” numbered in the tens of thousands, with 12 warships converted into pirate ships and countless advanced equipnt. Their combat power was no less than a formal navy.
Every ti they went out to seize rchant ships, they took a long detour and acted with extre caution, ensuring no one suspected this location.
Of course, they occasionally robbed ships nearby, but only during storms, so they were never discovered.
They happened to be returning from the open sea this ti, and coincidentally, they encountered Fang Jueyu and his group here.
“Chief, it’s a Huaxia ship. Should we let them go?”
This group of pirates was well-inford. Huaxia was notorious for protecting its people, and any trouble with Huaxia citizens abroad would provoke national anger.
Rumor had it that Huaxia recently developed an extrely powerful military weapon capable of flying at speeds much faster than a fighter jet and could operate in land, air, and sea environnts. The weapons it carried could destroy a mountain with a single shot.
If they took Huaxia hostages, and the other side sent such weaponry, they’d be dood. They couldn’t afford to ss with Huaxia!
“Hmph! What is there to fear? With hostages in hand, they wouldn’t dare use such large-scale weapons!”
“Chief, this yacht isn’t ordinary. It seems to be a private yacht. I heard a few years ago that it was completed in Europe, and it looks like its owner is touring South Africa.”
“Nearly a hundred ters long, what a grand yacht!” Hanuma scanned it with a telescope. With such a luxurious yacht, the owner’s identity and financial power must be formidable.
If they could capture the yacht’s owner alive, they could secure a hefty ransom, enough for them to live lavishly for a while.
“Full power, charge ahead. Rember, capture everyone alive!”
“Yes, Chief!” There appeared to be only a few scattered heads visible on the ship, indicating no significant combat power. They had launched with hundreds of n, each ard. How could they not subdue a re yacht?
…
“Pirates… pirates! Wang Chao, it’s your crow’s mouth!” The group regained their senses after the explosion’s sound, instantly terrified by Zhuang Ying’s words.
They were from a peaceful Huaxia and never experienced the horrors of war. Encountering pirates was unthinkable for them. They only wanted to tour the African coast; why was their life at stake?
Fang Jueyu had indeed great power, but they were hundreds of kiloters away from the southern coast. Even the fastest assistance would take ti, and it would take considerable ti for the fighter escorts arranged by Fang Jueyu to arrive.
The pirate ships were already speeding toward them, just minutes away. The yacht’s maximum speed was only 20 knots, while those pirate ships, modified from warships, were more than double their speed. They couldn’t escape even if they turned around now.
“Damn, Lao Fang, we’re all going to be hostages for the pirates now,” Shao Zhou trembled, his fat quivering with fear.
The girls’ eyes were bloodshot, almost on the verge of tears.
“Hey, why are you guys panicking? It’s just a bunch of pirates daring to blow up my ship?” Fang Jueyu’s yacht was incredibly robust. The earlier cannon fire had only blown up the sightseeing helicopter, leaving the deck unscathed. Even so, he couldn’t swallow this offense.
“Damn, Fang Jueyu, they’re pirates who kill; this isn’t a joke!” Wang Chao scread hysterically. “We should turn around imdiately. Any delay helps. Quickly find soone to save us.”
“Ah, it seems you guys have no idea about my capabilities!” Fang Jueyu helped them up. “Co on, into the bridge with !”
“What are you going to do?” The deck seed vulnerable to cannon fire at any mont, while the bridge appeared much sturdier. They didn’t understand what Fang Jueyu intended to do.
“Mr. Fang, we have to turn around and retreat imdiately. Even if there’s a sliver of hope, we must try.” The bridge’s personnel were rely Fang Family-hired crew.
“No worries, you guys rest on the side for a bit, I’ll handle this!” Fang Jueyu stood in front of the control platform and operated it skillfully.
He lifted a transparent lid on the main control panel and pressed a blue switch. Even the crew found it strange, as they never knew what the switch was for, only instructed that it should not be used casually unless in an exceptional situation.
“Electromagnetic Light Shield, activate.” Fang Jueyu forcefully pressed the button.
In an instant, a faint blue light film shrouded the over 100-ter-long yacht.
“What… what kind of black technology is this? Energy shield? Impossible, this is just a conceptual defense system, you…”
“Cut it, buddy, I could even create Gundams. What’s an Electromagnetic Light Shield?”
“Maximum speed, ram them!” Fang Jueyu started up the yacht with no intention to flee. “Dare to blow up my ship, today I’ll show them who they’ve ssed with!”
“Chief, that yacht is charging at us!”
“What?” Hanuma was stunned. They had only ever seen people frantically fleeing at their sight, never t one charging at them. Did they think they were an aircraft carrier?
Give us a break! We’re pirates! Not delivery n! Would you please respect us and give us so face?
