Chapter 919 Shameless and Despicable
The group was thrown into confusion by the sudden ambush, and after a moment, a white man finally spoke up, "We're not bad people, we just escaped from the Crow Gang, please don't shoot us."
The leader of this team stepped forward, face stern, "Are you planning to board that cruise ship?"
The white man blurted out, "Yes."
"Then there's no problem," the leader said coldly, "Now, you're all our captives, follow us to the port. Move quickly!"
Wu Yun and Wan Lingying wanted to take action, but thinking that doing so now would harm the innocent hostages, they restrained their impulse.
The two already didn't want to act, but they were still targeted by that leader, "Hey, you two, throw your weapons over here!"
Wu Yun and Wan Lingying had no choice but to toss the Witch Blade and Heavenly Punishment Sword to that leader.
"I've heard you Xia Country people have great hand-to-hand combat skills, I can't just let you walk away, too dangerous." With those words, the leader immediately fired a shot at Wu Yun's knee.
Bam!
Wu Yun's kneecap was hit by the bullet, causing his face to twist in agony, cold sweat pouring down!
"Wu Yun!" Wan Lingying rushed to support Wu Yun, but the leader fired again at Wan Lingying's knee.
Wu Yun pushed Wan Lingying away, the bullet hitting his other thigh, blood splattering!
"Quick, go!" Wu Yun shouted angrily, Wan Lingying hesitated not a moment, turned his heels and ran.
A large group of mercenaries immediately fired at Wan Lingying, but Wan Lingying's agility was enough to dodge using the nearby broken containers, successfully rushing back onto the cruise ship.
"Heh heh." The leader chuckled coldly at Wu Yun, "You really do have some gentlemen's demeanor!"
Wu Yun glared coldly at the leader, "What are you barking about, I don't understand."
Wu Yun actually didn't understand what the other was saying because he didn't know English, but that didn't stop him from cursing that dog.
"Don't understand, do you?" The leader switched to Xia Guoyu, and with a sinister smile, "But I understand!"
Thrust!
The leader stabbed a military blade into Wu Yun's shoulder, casually pulling it, the shark teeth on the blade ripping out a chunk of flesh from Wu Yun's shoulder!
"Ah—" Wu Yun couldn't hold back, screamed painfully, glaring at the leader with fury, "Just wait... once my master returns... whatever you did to me, he'll repay you double... ah—"
The leader stabbed a dagger into the wound on Wu Yun's thigh, tearing the flesh open with bloody mess!
"Don't think I won't kill you." The leader grinned maliciously, "I let you live just so you can see, even if your master came, it's useless! Offend our Mad Lion Army, and there's only dead end!"
"Lady Rena, Wu Yun has been caught!" Wan Lingying hurried to Rena for help upon returning to the cruise ship, "Quick, save him!"
"Wu Yun has been caught?" Rena was stunned, "What's going on?"
Wan Lingying briefly explained the situation, which made Rena furious, "Mad Lion Army, these dog scum!"
Just after Wan Lingying cursed, a loudspeaker voice rang from outside, "I'm Chesuri, leader of the tenth regiment of Mad Lion Army, listen up, everyone in the cruise ship, come out and surrender. You have one minute, if not, I'll kill a hostage every minute!"
"Save me, save me!"
"Help, help!"
Crying and various languages of cries for help echoed from outside.
Rena and Wan Lingying stepped out of the cruise ship, gazing coldly at Chesuri from a dozen meters away, "We spared your people before, why are you still causing us trouble?"
"Heh heh, you spared our people?" Chesuri sneered repeatedly, "That coward didn't even have the courage to face you, truly shamed the Mad Lion Army. I'm just here to regain our honor!"
"You dare engage us?" Rena snorted, "Bringing a group of hostages, does that count as daring to engage us?"
Chesuri chuckled creepily, "There's a saying in Xia Country's military tactics, 'No deception is too cunning,' as long as I can win, who cares how!"
Rena replied, "They are all hostages kidnapped by the Crow Gang, aren't you afraid of public outrage, drawing international condemnation and retaliation?"
"Heh heh, since you claim they're hostages kidnapped by the Crow Gang, what does that have to do with Mad Lion Army?" Chesuri laughed eerily, "As long as we win, not only others would think the Crow killed them, if I say you killed them, they'd believe it too."
"Alright, a minute has passed, let's kill someone to lift the mood!"
Bam!
Chesuri shot the teenager rescued earlier by Yang Yu, hitting him in the forehead, killing him instantly!
"Brother!" The girl screamed hysterically, her voice hoarse.
"Haha..." Chesuri laughed out loud, "Don't blame me, blame those people for not coming out to surrender, haha!"
"Beast!" The girl went completely mad, "I'll fight you!"
Bam!
Chesuri shot again, the girl stood with vacant eyes, then fell onto the ground, face up, her eyes full of reluctance!
Watching the siblings fall under gunfire, the hostages burst into tears.
Annoyed by the crying, Chesuri gave the order, "Aim your guns at their heads, anyone who dares to cry, shoot them dead!"
The hostages were terrified into silence, swallowing all their tears.
Seeing Rena still unmoved, Chesuri snorted, "Seems they're not your people, so you don't care about their lives. No problem, here's one of yours."
Two mercenaries carried Wu Yun to the front of the group, Chesuri pointed the gun at his nape, grinning sinisterly, "If you don't surrender, I'll kill him, then storm the cruise ship!"
Chesuri and the previous Mad Lion Army leader had their eyes on the luxury cruise ship, wanting to claim it as their own, thus resorted to any means against Yang Yu and Rena's group.
In their eyes, any wealth appearing in the inner bay, if not snatched, would be seized by Diamond Army.
Whoever grabs it, owns it, and if refused, directly open fire!
The sole reason they didn't open fire was the fear of damaging the cruise ship, repairs being costly and troublesome later.
Feeling the gun pressed against his neck, Wu Yun suddenly smiled bizarrely, "Indeed, many in this world seek death!"
Chesuri understood Wu Yun's words, yet paid no heed, "Heh heh, you're crippled, with my gun on your head, can you still kill me..."
Clang!
The sound of a blade unsheathing echoed from behind Chesuri, prompting him to spin around instinctively, then heard his subordinates shouting urgently, "Captain, watch out!"
