Chapter: 3794

A soldier standing beside him with an AK rifle opened his mouth, saying, "Sir, I think they're trying to stall, then come back and negotiate the price."

"Are you kidding?" The pirate leader sneered. "This is a big ship, almost 20,000 containers fully loaded for Europe, with who-knows-what valuable goods inside. They won't even think about negotiating down the price! If they don't pay up, I'll just open all these containers and dump them into the sea!"

The soldier nervously said, "Old man, our dock only has one crane that can lift one container at a time. How are we going to get rid of nearly 20,000 containers...?"

The pirate leader laughed. "That's not a big deal? Just do it in the middle of the ocean! Keep the valuable goods and dump the rest into the sea, along with the boxes. As for what's worthless, just toss it all into the sea!"

The soldier exclaimed excitedly, "So many containers, I wonder if we'll find something good inside!"

The pirate leader coldly said, "Don't worry, there will definitely be a lot of valuable goods, maybe even open up a batch of Porsche cars!"

One of the other soldiers quickly piped up, "Old man, that ship is from China to Europe, and Porsches are made in Europe, so the chances of finding them on the ship are almost zero."

The pirate leader slapped one of his ears with a loud slap, scolding, "Damn it, shut your mouth! Do you know more than me?"

The soldier who was slapped backed away a few steps, looking dejected and lowering his head in defeat.

At this moment, the Xinglong ship, which he had hijacked, suddenly received a message through radio transmission.

Over the radio, an unknown man opened up and said, "Is Bardel around? Let him talk to me."

The pirate head honcho was taken aback for a moment, furrowing his brows and saying, "What kind of person is speaking?!"

The communication soldier standing in front of the radio shook his head vaguely and said, "It seems to be coming from that ship we hijacked... and it's not our people... they're not familiar with our voices..."

"Good grief!" The pirate head honcho suddenly became irked and shouted, "Do those brainless fools have their heads eaten by dogs? Why did you reveal my name to others?"

As he spoke, he had already walked up to the radio and picked up the phone, asking coldly, "Are you all first-timers hijacking ships?! Why do you let a hostage directly talk to me?!"

The radio on the other end transmitted a cold laugh, followed by an opponent's voice with tenfold pressure, saying, "I'm just notifying you. Your eight subordinates have been controlled by the Wanyang Temple, and two of them refused to yield and are now dead. The remaining six people, you must immediately pay 6 million US dollars as ransom or face the consequences!"

"What?!" The pirate head honcho's whole body was shocked, his eyes wide with amazement, before he cursed angrily, "Who are you?! Daring to harm my men! I bet you're still alive!"

The opponent replied coldly, "I've said it. I'm from the Wanyang Temple. You won't have heard of us? Somalia is behind times, but surely you know who we are?"

The pirate head honcho was taken aback and regained his composure.

He hadn't expected that the renowned Wanyang Temple in the mercenary world would be related to the cargo ship he had hijacked. He asked unwittingly, "What business do I have with you people from the Wanyang Temple?"

The opponent replied coldly, "The Wanyang Temple is now officially starting armed escort operations in the Aden Bay. If your men dare to attack the cargo ships escorted by us, we will not hold back either!"

"What the hell!" Baderl has been stirring up trouble for twenty years, and no one has ever dared to threaten him like this before. Immediately, his anger rose to his head, and he ground his teeth, shouting, "I don't care if you're Wanyang Temple or any other mercenary organization! Aden Bay is my turf, and I've been here for twenty years already. No one has ever dared to talk to me like this before! If you don't release my men from now on, as long as the cargo ships escorted by Wanyang Temple pass through, I'll kill every person on board!"

Baderl isn't afraid of Wanyang Temple.

That's because he's a minor warlord in Aden Bay, with his own team and stronghold.

He has over a thousand men, dozens of boats, and each soldier is fully armed. He's already the de facto ruler here, so he naturally doesn't take Wanyang Temple seriously. JrNovels.com
