Chapter 703: Beating a Dog Once the Door is Shut
The island had risen, the gate was opened, Gu Fan shot a flare into the sky, signaling information to Qian Feng and his companions.
Qian Feng could hardly believe it: "I didn’t think they would actually succeed. It’s incredible... Although I am reluctant to admit it, I can’t help but admire Gu Fan for his accomplishments."
Qian Ying suggested prudence, proposing that the pirates should go first, after all, the pirates had no choice but to cooperate.
Without a second thought, Qian Feng agreed to the proposal, allowing a large number of pirates to land on the island. She claimed that all dangers had been cleared and everyone could safely disembark.
After experiencing so much adversity and witnessing the sacrifices of many, the pirates were frightened and dared not step onto the island.
Enraged, Qian Feng summoned a bolt of lightning and commanded: "All of you get up there now. Whoever retreats will be killed on the spot."
With no other recourse, all the pirates had to brace themselves to get on the island. This included Qiao Ya, Dong Ni, and Su Lei, who initially wanted to escape in the ensuing chaos but ended up being forced onto the island instead.
Remembering the outcomes of previous attempts, Qiao Ya was quite worried. He turned to the three researchers accompanying him and advised, "Once we disembark, you’d better cooperate. Don’t speak, don’t do anything unnecessary."
Su Lei chimed in: "You’ve seen for yourselves, these aren’t good people. If you fall into their hands, you won’t end well."
