All eyes were drawn to what was happening on the beach tonight, so much so that no one noticed the Jackdaw and the Whydah, who had just returned to port.

Zhang Heng also saw the fire and crowds on the beach on the deck, but he didn't pay much attention to it at first, and when the Jackdaw was moored, he took Anne and Billy to the dock in a small boat, but then he also noticed the strange location of the Breeze and the two strange three-masted galleons in the harbor.

Zhang Heng realized that something might have happened, and before the boat docked, he saw the bound crew of the Breeze and the tragic death of Booker.

Zhang Heng frowned, said a few words to Billy, the latter nodded, and after Zhang Heng and Anne got off the ship, he immediately rowed back to the Jackdaw with the other two pirates.

After that, Zhang Heng stepped on the soft sand and walked ashore, and the crowd of onlookers saw that he consciously gave way to a road.

Wilton turned around and raised an eyebrow, "I'm sorry, who are you?" ”

"Zhang Heng, the captain of the Jackdaw."

"So," Wilton said, "does this matter have anything to do with you?" ”

"Miss Karina is the Jackdaw's partner on the island and my friend."

"Oh, I see." Wilton nodded, "Then I'm afraid you'll have to find a partner again, for this Miss Karina now has neither a ship nor a man, and owes me a great deal of debt, and is planning to guide us, and accompany us to spare her men's lives." ”

Karina couldn't control her anger anymore and slapped Wilton in the face.

The latter reached out and touched the place where he had been beaten, and looked at the businesswoman, Karina took two steps back in fright, but then saw a smile on Wilton's face.

It's just that the smile not only did not make Karina breathe a sigh of relief, but it gave rise to a chill in her heart.

Wilton turned to his subordinates behind him and said, "It seems that Miss Karina is not aware of her situation enough. ”

Immediately after he had finished speaking, Booker's body was removed from the wooden strip and the second captive was dragged over.

Karina's breath became short, she looked at Zhang Heng with a pleading gaze, but she didn't know what else the latter could do at this time, although Zhang Heng had returned, but the first batch of the Jackdaw to go ashore was only him and Anne, and most of Wilton's crew was on this beach.

The disparity in power between the two sides is so great that no one can do anything in such a situation.

Wilton played with his knife and walked towards the second prey, during which he also looked at Zhang Heng with a provocative gaze, the latter was indeed similar to what he expected, but he could only remain silent when he witnessed this scene.

Wilton chose the chest this time, and he tapped the tip of his knife twice, fully admiring the frightened expression of his prey, before raising the knife in his hand again.

However, the next moment, two cannon shots suddenly rang out in his ears.

Wilton frowned, "Who is messing around, we are here to do business, not to find trouble, there are still some ruthless characters in this place, in addition to Honig just now, there are two guys named Black Prince and Blackbeard, we still have to be polite on other people's territory." ”

As a result, after he finished speaking, he saw a group of subordinates all looking at each other, and after a while, someone spoke, "Captain, it wasn't our cannon that fired, okay...... It was as if someone was attacking our ship. ”

Wilton's expression changed, and he looked in the direction of the harbor, and sure enough, he saw that his flagship, the Skull, was being shelled, and although there were many people left on his ship, they obviously did not expect that they would be attacked, and they did not even have time to open the gun window after the first round of shelling of the ship opposite.

"Return the Breeze and its cargo, release all the crew, and I'll let the attack stop." Zhang Heng said.

"Or else?"

"Otherwise, I'll sink your flagship." Zhang Heng said lightly.

Wilton's face darkened when he heard this, "I've been a pirate for so long, and no one has ever threatened me. ”

"Congratulations, now you have." Zhang Heng's expression remained unchanged, "You can continue to hesitate, but I can't guarantee that your boat will still be there in five minutes." ”

"Aren't you afraid of breaking the rules of the island by doing this, attacking ships parked in the harbor is forbidden in any city?"

"You're not a pirate on the island, so I don't seem to have a problem doing so."

Wilton's fingers tapped against the back of the knife, increasing in speed, as if thinking about something.

"By the way, if you are counting on delaying the other ship to flank it, I advise you to dismiss this idea, because I can guarantee that your other ship will not move at all."

Wilton was still a little unconvinced, but when he saw the Vida parked not far away and the dense barrels on it, he knew that the other party was not talking big, and his other ship really didn't dare to act rashly when he saw this.

Wilton looked at Zhang Heng's eyes, and the fierce light flashed in his eyes, "Are you sure you want to be my enemy?" ”

"What about you?" Zhang Heng's gaze did not dodge, and he kept a direct eye with Wilton, who finally chose to give in and waved his hand, "Let go." ”

Wilton's men cut the ropes from their captives, and when the sailors of the Breeze were freed, two of them ran to Karina's side, leaving one middle-aged man who hobbled over to the dead Booker, holding the latter's corpse and wailing.

He was Booker's uncle and the one who brought Booker on the boat, but he didn't expect to lead his nephew to a dead end.

Wilton looked at Zhang Heng, who was indifferent.

Wilton gritted his teeth, "Inform the brothers on the ship, release the rest of the people, and return the ship and cargo to them." After that, he said to Zhang Heng, "Are you satisfied?" ”

Zhang Heng finally made a move this time, he raised his hand and made a gesture, and the lookout hand on the Jackdaw who was holding a telescope and was in charge of observing immediately notified Billy.

Half a minute later, the Jackdaw stopped attacking, but by this time the Skull was scarred and had largely lost the ability to fight back, although it had not sunk.

The firepower of the Jackdaw is far beyond the ability of ordinary corsairs, the guns on board are warship configurations, and at such a close distance, there is basically no one who misses a single shot.

Wilton's face turned blue after learning about the damage to the Skull, but this time he didn't say anything, just took a deep look at Zhang Heng, and hurried back to the ship with someone.

Anne frowned, "Are we really going to let them go like that?" This guy doesn't look like some kind of fuel-efficient lamp. ”

"After all, there are a lot of people on the shore, if you really want to push him in a hurry, he will do something to us." Zhang Heng paused, "But you're right, when he repairs the ship, he will definitely come back to us for revenge, so tonight we have to solve this trouble and inform the crew on the ship to prepare for battle." ”
