Chapter 359 - Visit (2/2)

*Beep*

The hologram on the table suddenly changed color and turned red from blue. The view zoomed in suddenly and showed one of the four hangers located in the back. Inside it were a few dozen bright red orbs of light that kept undulating incessantly.

All 6 of the other people in charge of different departments on the ship ran to their respective stations.

”Impossible! How did they break through?!” a middle-aged man asked. His left hand was made of metal which almost broke the screen as he tapped in repeatedly.

Another man who was probably the second in command going by the medals pinned on his chest frowned. He took out the cigar from his mouth and let out the smoke.

”They didn't, they just walked in! The hanger door was opened from the inside,” as he finished speaking, a video started playing on the biggest screen in the room.

It showed the hanger which was filled with the ship's crew. They were running about preparing a few different aircrafts inside when the main hanger door suddenly opened on its own and a completely black vessel flew in silently.

This vessel looked nothing like the other pirate ships that were flying about. It looked much more advanced. Its design was sleek and with its small size, it looked more like a large sports car than anything else.

The entire crew was taken aback by the sudden appearance of the vessel but before they could react, the vessel's top opened up and 9 people walked. That's when the video cut out.

”How old is this footage?” one of the female department heads asked.

”Just a few minutes old.”

”Bring up the direct feed from the crew's spirit bands! Find out what's happening,” the man with the cigar ordered. The man with the metal arm got to work clicking away on his screen, but halted just a few seconds in.

”What?”

”There are no life signatures inside the hanger. Everyone is dead,” he replied with an ugly expression. Over 300 crew members had perished within a matter of minutes.

Ceni who was nonchalant about everything until now suddenly became serious.

In their line of work, getting attacked by pirates was nothing out of ordinary. They would attack and sometimes break in from one corner or another and steal a few trinkets or kidnap a few people, but that was it. But they always maintained a baseline.

The powers that owned these ships wouldn't bother with something so small but if they directly killed so many crew members that worked for these powerful clans, then they would do everything in their powers to destroy the pirates responsible for such actions.

Neither party wanted such an outcome so it never came to that, well until now. If they were willing to directly kill so many crew members, then they were ready for war.

”Uncle Ignác, let's go take a look. I think they might be waiting for us,” Ceni said without looking away from the screen. Ignác followed her line of sight and slowly nodded his head while getting up.

”Let us pay them a visit.”
