Chapter 22

She had still clung to a sliver of hope, but seeing Reiju surrender directly, terrified by this ship, she finally recognized the cruel reality of her situation.

"Father was actually killed." Anna read the newspaper, her face pale as death.

Naturally, she did not believe her father had been killed by Lin Yu.

Because when she left with Lin Yu, she had seen her father alive and well.

Coming out of the cabin, Lin Yu saw Anna, her face deathly pale and tears streaming down her face, and Sharley, who was in a daze.

He asked with some curiosity:

"What's wrong?"

"Father was killed. The newspaper says you did it." Anna said blankly.

Hearing this, Lin Yu raised an eyebrow and pointed at Sharley, saying:

"It must have been the World Nobles who silenced her."

Upon hearing this, Anna immediately thought it very likely, lunged at Sharley, grabbed her by the throat, and wanted her to pay with her life.

Sharley, who was in a daze, was suddenly attacked and had absolutely no power to resist.

Seeing Anna's action, Lin Yu frowned; his finger twitched, a ship rope dropped from above, and struck Anna's back hard, leaving a bloody mark directly on her back.

"Ah!"

Anna let out a scream and fell to the ground.

Sharley broke free from Anna's grasp and immediately ran behind Lin Yu; she had truly just experienced the terror of death.

【Ding! Anna's friendliness toward the Host increased by 5...】

【Ding! Sharley's friendliness toward the Host increased by 10, current -40,...】

The ship rope coiled around Anna's neck, lifting her up and bringing her before Lin Yu.

Lin Yu patted Anna's pretty face and said with a smile:

"It seems you have forgotten the rules on this ship."

On his ship, apart from him, everyone must coexist peacefully; anyone daring to harm others must be prepared for punishment.

"Master, I'm s-sorry."

Anna covered her neck, struggling constantly, and apologized repeatedly.

Only when Anna was nearly suffocating did Lin Yu throw her to the ground and order:

"Kneel!"

"Yes." Anna, still shaken, hurriedly knelt properly.

"You too." Afterwards, Lin Yu looked at Sharley.

Seeing Anna punished, Sharley, who felt somewhat happy inside, had her face drop immediately upon hearing this.

But she did not dare to resist Lin Yu and could only kneel obediently beside Anna.

Reiju, standing aside, had seen everything that just happen; she immediately felt her heart race, and her gaze toward Lin Yu was as if looking at a demon.

Tsk, this Anna must have some special fetish; a single whip strike and her friendliness actually went up.

However, Sharley's friendliness also went up; that was something I didn't expect.

Seeing the prompts that Anna's and Sharley's friendliness had increased, Lin Yu smiled slightly.

Yet, in Reiju's eyes, this smile of his was extremely terrifying.
