734: Chapter 734 If you don't go, I'll kill you all!

Three days later.

The setting sun dyed the entire ocean a golden red, beautiful as a painting.

However, the atmosphere inside the captain's cabin was not beautiful at all.

The captain stood in front of the console, holding a nautical chart, his brows furrowed deeply.

His gaze lingered on a certain spot on the chart for a long time, and finally, he sighed and picked up the broadcast microphone.

"Attention, passengers."

"This ship is about to enter the waters near Thor Island."

"In accordance with international maritime safety regulations and our company's safety policies, this ship will detour around the outer waters of Thor Island, which is expected to add six hours to our voyage. We ask for your understanding."

After the broadcast ended, the cabin immediately erupted in an uproar.

"What? A detour? Why a detour?"

"Are you stupid? Didn't the captain just say it? Thor Island! Pirate Island!"

"Oh my god... are we that close to Pirate Island?"

"A detour is fine. Six extra hours is better than running into pirates again. I don't want to go through that a second time."

"Yes, yes, yes. Safety first."

...

Although most passengers complained a bit, they actually breathed a sigh of relief when they heard about the detour.

That was Thor Island, one of the most notorious pirate dens in the world.

Who would want to get close to it if they could stay away?

However.

Less than a minute after the captain finished speaking, the door to the captain's cabin was knocked on.

The captain opened the door and was stunned to see the person standing there.

"Mr. Ye... Mr. Ye?"

Ye Chen stood at the door, looking at him with a smile, "Captain, there's no need for a detour. Keep sailing forward."

The captain thought he had misheard.

"You... what did you say?"

"I said, keep sailing forward. Sail in the direction of Thor Island," Ye Chen repeated.

The captain's face turned pale instantly.

"Mr. Ye, are you crazy?"

"Thor Island is the pirates' lair. Several pirate factions are entrenched there. It's said that even the Eagle Country navy doesn't dare to get close!"

"This is just an ordinary luxury cruise ship; we don't even have any decent weapons on board!"

"Sailing there, isn't that just suicide?"

It wasn't that he was a coward!

In the past, they would only need to fly the Eagle Country flag to safely pass through these waters.

But the problem was...

Three days ago, they had just experienced a pirate attack. They were scared.

What if it happened again? What would they do?

Ye Chen looked at him, his face calm.

"I told you to sail, so sail."

"If anything happens, I'll take responsibility."

The captain's mouth twitched violently several times.

The woman beside this young man, who could take down forty-something armed pirates by herself, was indeed impressive.

But no matter how good you are at fighting, that's the pirates' lair!

It's not a few dozen pirates; it's hundreds or thousands of pirates!

And they have heavy weapons!

They have speedboats!

They have torpedoes!

No matter how well you can fight, how many ships can you take on?

The captain took a deep breath, "Mr. Ye, I need to consult with the company."

"Go ahead."

Ye Chen wasn't in a hurry and started chatting with Night Owl.

The captain turned and walked into the captain's cabin, picked up the satellite phone, and dialed the company's number.

Three minutes later, he put down the phone, his face looking even worse.

"Mr. Ye, the company does not agree."

"The company said they cannot risk the safety of the entire ship's passengers. If we must sail toward Thor Island, they can only have the passengers transfer to other ships..."

"Then let them transfer," Ye Chen put away his phone and said calmly, "But my destination is Thor Island. I must go."

The captain's face froze completely.

At that moment, a clamor of footsteps came from the corridor.

A group of passengers, having heard the news, rushed over and blocked the entrance to the captain's cabin completely.

Leading them was an old man in his fifties, who clearly looked like someone of status and position.

"Captain, I heard someone wants you to sail toward Thor Island?"

The captain smiled bitterly and looked at Ye Chen.

The old man's gaze immediately fell on Ye Chen, looking him up and down, his brows furrowed so tightly they could crush a fly.

"Is it you?"

"Young man, do you know what kind of place Thor Island is? It's a pirate den! What are you going there for? To die?"

Ye Chen glanced at him, "I have business there."

"Business?" The old man sneered, "What business do you have that is more important than your life?"

"I don't need to report my business to you," Ye Chen replied calmly.

The old man was choked up, his face turning red.

"You... how are you talking, young man?"

"Exactly!"

Another middle-aged woman stepped forward, hands on her hips, "We don't care if you want to go die by yourself, but don't drag us down with you!"

"Right! We don't want to go die with you!"

"Captain, you can't listen to him! You have to be responsible for the safety of everyone on this ship!"

"Detour! We must detour! Whoever wants to go to Thor Island can go, but I'm not going!"

"I'm not going either!"

"None of us are going!"

...

The passengers clamored, their indignation running high.

The captain stood in the middle, caught in a dilemma, sweat dripping from his forehead bead by bead.

On one side was the savior of the ferry. On the other side were their company's bread and butter. It was hard to offend either side...

Ye Chen looked at these angry faces and couldn't help but laugh, "If you keep babbling, I'll kill you all."

Everyone was stunned.

They had seen unreasonable people, but never anyone this unreasonable.

Not only did he want them to risk sailing into a pirate island, but he also threatened to kill... kill them?

Night Owl stood beside Ye Chen, her face turning dark.

She reached out and tugged at Ye Chen's sleeve, lowering her voice.

"Isn't that going a bit too far?"

"We could have tried to trick them, but now, you've offended everyone completely."

Ye Chen turned his head to look at her, his expression indifferent.

"Do I need to trick them?"

"If you want to detour, jump off the ship yourself. If you're afraid, I can give you a lift."

Night Owl's mouth twitched several times, and she was completely speechless.

She realized that reasoning with this guy was just a waste of breath.

In his world, there were only two options... either listen to me, or get lost.

The surrounding passengers finally came to their senses.

"You... you are unreasonable!"

"Right! Unreasonable! Who do you think you are? You think you can just kill people?"

"Captain! Say something! This kind of person can't stay on the ship! Call the police! Make him get off the ship!"

"Exactly! Make him get off! We don't want to stay with such a dangerous person!"

...

The discussion grew louder, but it was clearly much weaker than before.

No one dared to rush in front of Ye Chen as righteously as before.

After all.

That young man's words just now were truly terrifying.

At that moment, a voice came from behind the crowd.

"Move aside, everyone move aside."

The crowd automatically parted a path.

Young Master Mu Qingshan walked out from behind.

Just now in the cabin, he heard the news that someone wanted the captain to sail toward Thor Island, so he came over immediately.

As it turned out...

It was that bastard Ye Chen!

Yes, they could fight, but so what?

This was a matter for everyone on the ship; it couldn't be solved just by being able to fight.

Young Master Mu Qingshan stood in front of Ye Chen, arms crossed, his chin slightly raised.

"I was wondering who it was; it turns out to be you."

"Who do you think you are? You saved a few people and think you're the captain? You say sail to Thor Island, so we sail to Thor Island?"

"On what grounds?"

He didn't believe that this hick in a white T-shirt would dare to lay a hand on him in front of hundreds of people.

The surrounding passengers chimed in.

"Right! On what grounds?"

"Who do you think you are?"

"Young Master Mu is right! We can't listen to him!"

...

Listening to the echoing voices, the smile on Young Master Mu Qingshan's face grew wider.

He turned around, spread his arms toward the passengers, and continued.

"Everyone, we don't need to be afraid of this kind of person!"

"This is the high seas; it's not his territory!"

"If he dares to touch a hair on our heads, international law will not let him go!"

As his words fell, the passengers' emotions were stirred up again.

"Young Master Mu is right!"

"We support Young Master Mu!"

"Captain! You can't listen to that madman!"

Young Master Mu Qingshan turned around and looked at Ye Chen again, the triumph in his eyes almost overflowing.

"Did you hear that? This is the will of the people."

"Why should we, hundreds of people, risk our lives for you just because of you?"

Ye Chen looked at him, his expression unchanged.

After he finished speaking, he took a small booklet out of his pocket.

Then.

He opened the booklet and held it up in front of Young Master Mu Qingshan.

"Just because of this."

Young Master Mu Qingshan's pupils shrank suddenly.

He saw the words on it clearly.

Dragon Group of the Dragon Country.

Below that was a line of small text... Chief Instructor of the Hidden Dragon Pavilion!

Young Master Mu Qingshan's brain exploded with a buzz.

His face turned deathly pale instantly.

"You... you are... the Chief Instructor... of the Dragon Group of the Dragon Country???"
