Chapter 638 - 662: Blow Up the Ship
In the cruise ship’s bridge, there were over ten people at that moment, including the captain, the first mate, and other crew members, totaling six people. Additionally, there were four people with loaded guns pointing at these six, and two more seated on a nearby sofa, one of whom was in a crew uniform resembling that of a deputy captain.
That deputy captain was the leader of this operation, named Paul Pierce. He had worked on this ship for several years, climbing up from a menial crew member to the position of deputy captain, earning himself a high income.
However, as his position advanced, so did his imbalance in mindset. On the same cruise, while guests enjoyed themselves, he and others were merely service staff, particularly envious of the wealthy guests who spent money frivolously, leading to an extreme feeling of discontent within him.
Two years prior, he had begun plotting a grand heist. Over time, he accumulated contacts—desperate outlaws who coincidentally were around for a major auction event on the ship, attracting numerous wealthy individuals and presenting an excellent opportunity.
Using his status, he had managed to smuggle a batch of weapons onto the ship.
Then he had his men placed as security personnel or entertainers, while some were disguised as guests.
Everything had been going smoothly. They had gained control of the captain and several key locations on the ship, essentially taking over. The next step was to loot extensively.
But then, two people unexpectedly disrupted their plan, causing him significant irritation. According to the information received, these two were exceedingly proficient, having already killed over thirty of his men, and if this continued, it could even lead to the failure of their operation.
"Sophia, did you kill him?" When the woman skilled with the flying dagger arrived at the captain’s quarters, Paul Pierce immediately asked in urgency.
"I am no match for him," the woman named Sophia said simply.
