Chapter 273

"Don't say I didn't give you a chance. Where is your ship?"

"As long as you hand over all the money on the ship, perhaps I can still spare your lives!"

Hearing this,

Wei En suddenly understood!

It was true that this person wanted to rob them of the permanent compass for Jiayadao,

but that was not his only goal;

he had set his sights on all the money on the entire merchant ship!

No wonder he attacked directly without waiting for Wei En to answer;

this Orff never intended to take only the permanent compass,

so he naturally did not need Wei En's answer at all!

Whether Wei En gave it or not,

he was going to attack!

Because their targets, besides the permanent compass,

also included the money on the ship!

Since Orff suddenly attacked and injured Wei En,

the hearts of several crew members traveling with him were already filled with rage!

At this moment,

the enemy had also set their sights on the money on the merchant ship,

and everyone instantly became completely furious!

After all,

if the money on the merchant ship was looted,

the loss would not be only the captain's,

but also that of all the crew members!

Without income,

the crew would have no wages!

Many crew members' families relied on this small amount of money to live,

and if it was gone now,

their livelihood for the coming period would be a huge problem!

At this moment,

a young crew member traveling with Wei En was filled with anger,

already somewhat lost to reason,

and immediately rose to charge forward!

Seeing this,

Wei En quickly reached out and pulled him back!

The young crew member turned to look at Wei En,

his eyes full of barely concealed rage!

Before he could open his mouth to question,

Wei En silently shook his head at him!

In fact,

Wei En was the angriest one of all!

After all,

compared to the others,

he had inexplicably taken an extra beating!

But,

as an old crew member,

during these years of sailing,

he had encountered pirates more than once!

He knew very well that

facing these pirates within the Grand Sea who licked blood off their blades day and night,

their ordinary merchant ship had absolutely no power to resist!

Facing this situation,

there were only two choices!

Either honestly hand over the money!

Or honestly wait to die on the spot!

Or,

first honestly hand over the money,

and then honestly wait to die on the spot!

There was absolutely no possibility of clashing head-on with the pirates!

After all,

they were professionals!

There's a saying, isn't there,

Don't take your hobby

to challenge someone's profession!

Therefore,

even though he was furious,

Wei En still kept his reason,

forcibly suppressing his impulse,

and chose to compromise!

Wei En, facing Orf standing before the bar,

slowly spoke:

"Alright, I am willing to give you all the money on the merchant ship, as long as you do not harm everyone!"

However,

Orf merely shook his head,

and sneered:

"No, no, no! That young man beside you seems very resentful!"

"So, I have changed my mind now!"

"Might as well just kill you all directly, and then go take your money!"

Upon hearing these words,

the young crew member whom Wei En had previously stopped could no longer hold back,

and immediately drew a dagger from his waist!

Then,

holding the dagger, he roared and charged straight at Orf!

However,

just as he reached Orf's front,

before he could even swing the dagger in his hand,

everyone saw a shadowy figure flash by,

and that young crew member, just like Wei En before, was sent flying backward,

crashing heavily into the wall,

spitting blood and lying weakly on the ground,

seemingly with injuries even more severe than Wei En's!
