Chapter 1810: What kind of devils are these people!

The Wanlong Palace team leader said with a serious face: "What kind of talk is that? You came over to rob our escorted freighter, and not only did we not kill you, we even gave you a lifeboat, and you're still saying I'm trying to kill you on purpose? You don't even think about it—even if I sold all six of you scumbags, it wouldn't be worth this lifeboat!"

That pirate cried out angrily: "Then do a good deed to the end and at least leave an engine so we can drive back to base!"

The team leader smiled and said: "It's fine. I see your base is only a hundred nautical miles away; just row, row, and you'll be back."

"Row back..." The pirate collapsed, crying and protesting: "Even if we really row back, it will take at least several days! We have no food and no water; what are we going to live on to get back..."

The team leader asked with a surprised face: "Aren't you pirates? Are pirates on the sea afraid of having no food or water? There are so many merchant ships coming and going in the Gulf of Aden; whatever you lack, just go rob it!"

Hearing this, the pirate was full of despair.

Their weapons had all been confiscated, they didn't even have a rope to climb a freighter, and this lifeboat not only had no power, but it was also full of holes. In this situation, let alone hijacking a freighter, even if a freighter passed by them, the wake would flip them over.

At this time, the Wanlong Palace team leader said: "Alright, it's getting late, time to get on the road."

As he spoke, he instructed his subordinates beside him: "Release the lifeboat!"

The subordinate immediately started the lift, and the lifeboat began to slowly descend from the ship's rail.

Those few pirates no longer had their original arrogant posture; each of them had a mournful face, as if they were already about to die.

The leader of the group, seeing the lifeboat being lowered continuously, shouted in terror: "Big brother, give us at least a little fresh water... otherwise we really won't be able to hold on..."

The team leader leaned on the ship's railing and said with a smile: "I think it's more realistic for you to pray to God to send you a rainstorm."

The man looked at the horizon all around; the sky over the entire Gulf of Aden could be said to be clear blue and cloudless. At this rate, there might not be rain for a week.

Just at this moment, the team leader pulled a pistol from his waist and fired several shots, all of which accurately hit the ropes suspending the lifeboat.

Immediately following, the ropes snapped in response, and the entire lifeboat plunged violently from the ship's rail, which was several meters high, and smashed into the sea surface.

Accompanied by the insane screams of the six people, the entire lifeboat hit the sea surface with a loud boom. The bullet holes that had been shot through earlier sprayed out straight columns of water due to the pressure.

These six people were also thrown into a daze; some even fell into the sea.

Meanwhile, as the giant ship moved forward, it pushed up high waves on both sides, washing them and the boat far away. Some people fell into the sea and never came back up, while the remaining few on the boat, after desperately stabilizing the hull, began to desperately splash water out with their hands, and some even used both hands and feet, trying to plug the twenty-plus bullet holes in the bottom of the boat.

At this time, the Wanlong Palace team leader remembered something and asked his subordinate beside him: "Oh, by the way, there are no life jackets in the boat, right?"

The other side replied: "Captain, rest assured, there are life jackets, but they were all punctured in advance; they won't inflate even if they tire themselves to death."

As he spoke, the other side added: "Also, the bottled water inside, we also replaced it with seawater in advance. As for the compressed biscuits and such, we did leave them a little, but that stuff makes you thirstier the more you eat it; I reckon having it is worse than not having it."

The captain gave a thumbs up and praised sincerely: "Well done!"

Sure enough, the few people in the lifeboat, seeing that plugging the leaks was hopeless, the leader immediately shouted: "Quick, find the emergency kit! There must be an emergency kit in this kind of lifeboat! Maybe there are life jackets and food and water!"

The group immediately found the emergency kit hidden under the deck at the stern of the lifeboat.

Subsequently, they rummaged through it with wild joy, finding a whole dozen bottles of water, more than ten packs of compressed biscuits, and several uninflated life jackets.

Seeing these supplies, these people were suddenly wild with joy!

They first snatched a life jacket each, then immediately put them on and began to blow air through the inflation valves at the shoulders.

However, no matter how hard they blew, the life jackets on them didn't change at all, just like thin plastic vests stuck to their bodies.

Just as everyone looked at each other in dismay, one person cursed in despair: "Damn it, the life jackets are all punctured! Leaking air everywhere!"

The leader collapsed instantly: "It seems these animals had a premeditated plan!"

As he spoke, he looked at the bottled water and compressed biscuits, sighing: "At least these people still have a little last bit of conscience, leaving us some food and water. Use it sparingly, maybe we can survive and get back..."

After saying this, he picked up a bottle of water intending to take a sip, twisted it lightly, and found there was no resistance at all; his heart skipped a beat.

When he cautiously took a sip with his mouth, he immediately threw the water into the sea, spitting and cursing: "Pah, pah, pah, damn it! It's actually seawater! What kind of devils are these people!"

The others didn't believe it and hurriedly opened the remaining water one by one to taste it. This taste didn't matter, but everyone became even more desperate, because the remaining water was also all bitter, salty seawater.

The few were extremely angry, cursing constantly. At this time, they looked down and discovered that a large amount of seawater had already poured into the cabin; if this continued, the boat would definitely sink.

Thus, they could only desperately use their hands to continuously splash the water in the cabin out of the boat.

The pirate leader no longer had the look a pirate should have; while desperately splashing water, he couldn't stop crying, his mouth choking and cursing: "The Wanlong Palace, these damn bastards... they don't have a single bit of humanitarian spirit! Don't they know that pirates are also human! Pirates also have human rights!"

A pirate opposite blurted out: "Everyone, speed it up, otherwise the boat really will sink!"

At this time, the *Xinglong* was already getting further and further away.

At first, everyone could still see the actions of the few pirates frantically splashing water out on the lifeboat, but as the distance grew, that lifeboat disappeared on the horizon.

The Wanlong Palace captain at this time instructed his subordinate beside him: "Send the video we just took to the internet."

"Alright, Captain!"

Very soon, a video became viral on global video websites.

The video was released by the Wanlong Palace, recording the entire process of how the Wanlong Palace dealt with these few pirates just now.

Less than an hour after this video was released, it triggered over a hundred million netizens to watch it, receiving millions of likes and hundreds of thousands of comments.

Although the Wanlong Palace's approach was somewhat cruel, even mixed with some dark humor, the vast majority of netizens around the world, except for a very few "saints" protesting the Wanlong Palace's inhumane approach in the comment section, praised their actions highly!

This group of people had committed countless evils, hijacking merchant ships from all over the world year-round, and their attitude was extremely arrogant; they had long since become public enemies globally.

However, due to some special reasons, no one had ever been able to truly clear them out.

Among these, special political reasons accounted for a large part.

However, for the Wanlong Palace, none of these were problems.

Because the Wanlong Palace was a mercenary organization, international law couldn't impose constraints on them either.

To put it bluntly, mercenary organizations and pirate organizations were both typical outlaws in the international community.

The contest between two outlaws was a thorough, hard-hitting clash! ===== CHAPTER 1811 =====
