Chapter 229: CCXXIX. Cannot Default
Four years ago.
Memories flashed by like a carousel.
Back then, there had been no gargantuan ship like the SS Fuma Keqing Revenge, only a "broken sampan" about twenty meters long that got nearly destroyed by cannon fire during one operation.
A new ship was urgently needed.
At that time, the core group of the Black Sail wasn’t large—they couldn’t scrape together four hundred Golden Dragons to buy a ship.
It was well known that a wealthy politician seeking refuge lived in a castle on the eastern outskirts of the city. He had no real skills but was accompanying a huge sum of money.
Liszt decided to break in and rob the place that night.
The plan was simple—Mika would keep watch on the nearest street, and the others would grab the loot and run.
Without saying another word, Liszt led the charge, embodying the Assassin’s Creed, and flipped through a window into what appeared to be a study on the second floor, using the engraved stone columns on the wall.
At that moment, Mika, who had been keeping watch, returned.
He said the situation had changed—that was news from two days ago. A monstrous individual had chopped up the original owner and his bodyguard and taken residence themselves.
