136 Lord of the Sea Shell Island IV (2/2)

This manor was where the meeting was going to take place between all the pirate's holding important positions inside the Lion Shark Pirate group while also having at least one ship under their personal command.

There was heated discussion going on inside the castle's main hall. A group of people was sitting on chairs placed along the two sides of the long table in between them.

Each one of them had at least one or a number of ships under their command while having different regions assigned to them for carrying out the orders from their boss and also to do the act of piracy.

The fellows continued in a heated discussion about who was responsible for letting a big fat prey slip through their hands and under their nose recently.

They were talking about the Yandell family that had some days ago escaped their well planned and organized ambush placed around the sea route usually taken by ships traveling to and fro from the Belmont subcontinent and the nearby islands.

As per their intel, Willy Yandel was also going to take this route as well while taking all his family and wealth with him to immigrate to the Belmont subcontinent.

But on that day, even when waiting for a whole night in ambush their target never appeared in front of their sights.

It was only later in the day, word reached to them that the ships onboard with the Yandell family had actually taken the longer route going around the group of islands while bypassing their place of ambush completely.

This matter had even angered their boss, Captain Torrento and so in anger, he thrashed his subordinates responsible for gathering such a basic piece of intelligence.

For some days, no one dared to appear in front of him for fear of being the victim on whom their chief would take out his anger on since things like this had happened many times in the past.

While the fellow pirates were discussing that event, some of them were also guessing the reason for which they have been called today.

”Everyone, stand up. Captain Torrento has arrived.” one person entered the hall before announcing them to get ready so that they can greet their Boss.

Suddenly the sounds of their discussions halted in between as the pirates stood up in their place immediately.

Before Captain Torrento even entered the hall, the sound of his heavy footsteps reached into the ears of everyone present in that hall.

”Captain.” greeted all the pirates in unison.

A caucasian middle-aged man with a full beard entered the hall while taking slow puffs from his smoking pipe. A black-white captain's hat decorated with some kind of demon beast feather was squarely tucked on his head while onto the left side of his hip, a sheathed broadsword could be seen.

The look of his attire was that of a typical pirate captain similar to the ones back on the earth. At his side, a slim, tall man could be seen following him two-step behind. This person had a very different air about him that somewhat put him out of place from all the pirates present here in the hall.

”Sit down,” Captain Torrento said as he sat on his seat while still taking small puffs from his smoking pipe.

The tall man also followed him to sit down on the seat left empty to his right side.

Just after that, all the pirates also took their seats while each one of them waited for Captain Torrento to speak first.
