Chapter 239

"Damn it!"

He opened his mouth and spat out two words brimming with killing intent.

Taking a deep breath, he forcibly suppressed the killing intent in his heart.

Turning his head,

he asked Lu En beside him: "Shall we make a move?"

Actually,

the moment he asked that question, the answer had already formed in Luci's heart.

He wanted to act—to slaughter every one of these captives!

Along with every pirate on the entire field!

Even if the mission failed, he wouldn't hesitate!

As long as he killed all the pirates here…

the mission wouldn't be a complete failure!

"You want to slaughter all the captives here?"

Lu En narrowed his eyes slightly, seeing straight through Luci's inner thoughts.

Looking ahead at the captives steadily closing in—roughly five hundred or so people.

Among them,

were also over a dozen nobles of the Rosed Kingdom.

The scenes unfolding before his eyes stirred a faint sense of familiarity in Lu En.

If he remembered correctly…

today's battle appeared to be Rob Lucci's rise to fame!

And also the main reason Luci could smoothly join CP9 afterward!

The reputation Luci bore as a once-in-eight-hundred-years genius of the CP organization…

began spreading from this very battle.

Luci's choice was…

to slaughter every captive here!

Then,

kill every last pirate before leaving!

This—was Luci's rise to fame.

Whether captives or pirates…

all were slaughtered by Luci!

The mission half-failed, yet not entirely failed.

From then on, Luci's fearsome name resounded throughout the entire CP organization!

"If we don't slaughter these captives, we might be wrongfully surrounded and killed to death by these pirates."

Luci's tone was low.

And this, clearly, was not the outcome he wanted.

"Not necessarily."

"Actually, there's another choice."

Lu En let out a helpless laugh.

"What choice?"

Luci, somewhat stunned, asked.

"You stand down. Let me handle this."

"Next…"

"everything that remains here, leave it to me to deal with."

Lu En walked forward step by step.

Leaving behind only

a dumbfounded Luci, who at this moment stared blankly at Lu En's receding back.

"What on earth is this guy trying to do?"

"The remaining matters…"

"leave them to him to resolve?"

"Can he do it?"

"He's even weaker than me! What could he possibly do?"

A guy weaker than me actually has the confidence to say he can resolve the situation here, that he can handle the predicament ahead and the desperate circumstances?

"Are you sure?"

"This guy—could he have lost his mind?"

Luci stared at Lu En's back in utter astonishment.

He couldn't comprehend Lu En's thoughts at all.

Facing so many pirates present…

and moreover,

a group of pirates holding captives hostage, about to launch an attack.

In this situation.

What other way is there to resolve the current desperate situation?

Anyway.

Lu Qi racked his brains but could not come up with a single answer.

He could not fathom it no matter how hard he thought!

"He must be insane!"

Lu Qi thought to himself.

His gaze, filled with heaviness, fixed on Lu En's back, as if watching a brave man about to march to his death.

Gradually.

Lu En's steps came to an abrupt halt.

He had already stood directly in front of a group of captives, no more than five meters away.

At the same moment.

The group of captives known as "913" also stopped walking.

They gazed at Lu En with pleading eyes, fearfully begging for mercy.

"Please, don't lay a hand on us."

"We don't want to die!"

"Please, have mercy."

The captives displayed every form of disgraceful behavior.

Even among them were five hundred elite soldiers of the king's personal guard; yet after this time as captives, they had lost their former dignity and pride.

To survive, they were willing to display the most abject humility.

"Don't worry—you won't die."

"I give you my word."

Lu En's lips twitched slightly.

These words slightly calmed the captives.

On the contrary…

It stirred Garte's curiosity.

He regarded the four-year-old Lu En with keen interest, sneering: "Brat. Whether they live or die isn't up to you."
