Chapter 488 (2/2)

That captive released a gasp, but silently stepped behind theCanbi Yes, he had personally stabbed his senior officer To a lowly , a stab was akin to paralish law What awaited hiallows or a life of imprisonment

Hence in reality, apart fro a pirate, he had no other options to preserve his life

”Next” Sheyan's callous voice resounded once again

This 'enrollment' ceremony very quickly went underway When it reached the last three ish and numbed marines had unanimously stepped forward to stab their former senior officers

Of course, it wasn't that nobody stubbornly resisted, but the consequence of those that resisted was death! What surprised Sheyan was that ast the 8 marine officers, one was still fully intact Indeed, it was that Sub-lieutenant Philip None of the nified the elevated reputation he held

Facing such a situation, Sheyan very bluntly chopped the ropes tying up Sub-lieutenant Philip Then, he stashed the bloodied kitchen knife into his hand as he voiced grimly

”If you wish to die, then carve your neck with this knife If you wish to live, then carved the necks of those seven others!”

The stunned Philip stood rooted to the ground, before he casted a sneer and penetrative glare at Sheyan Presumably, his next step would be to carve out his own neck Sheyan coldly warned

”Sub-lieutenant, If I haven't guessed wrong, your reputation is rest these marines Therefore, even if you don't desire to live on, you should still consider for them”

Already prepared for his death, Philip suddenly swung round Forcing open his dried and cracked lips with great difficulty, he suspiciously asked

”What is thebehind your words?”

Sheyan answered coldly

”You are an intelligent individual Let's cut the eht now Therefore, I will surely employ your e the front Without you leading theroup of loose sculect the respect and adoration your marines have for you?”

Philip's gaze instantly turned incisive, as he gripped Sheyan's collar fiercy and fumed

”You devil's spawn, I was only trying to escape, I didn't participate in frying this shi+p!!!”

His conduct instantly tensed up the entire situation Except, Sheyan slowly pinched away his fingers, one at a ti one word at a time

”I initially tried to be chivalrous, but who knew you bunch of scu s as foolish Therefore noill amend this bad habit of mine”

The usually eloquent Philips could only glare into Sheyan's eye, but failed to htly, till his skin turned white and his teeth e while, thisout the words between his teeth

”Fine! I'll do it”

With one swipe, Philips snatched the knife out of Sheyan's hand Without spouting any unnecessary words, he silently slashed the necks of his co whilst at death's door Then, he bowed humbly, and handed the knife back to Sheyan; explicitly de his attitude

Between life or death, between the test of camaraderie or loyalty; indeed, not h Sheyan's charm was horrendous, hiscircus to persuade men to yield

After conteate the 40 plus st the pirates As of now, his cohly 120in the injured, would be 150) Sheyan hist the pirate would lead 30 Lastly, Philip who had been eyed by Sheyan, was appointed the heavy responsibility of leading 30 men

After the dust of the upheaval settled, Sheyan once again postponed his intentions in co to battle At least, that will only happen after Philip and Canbi could familiarize the the corpses into the sea, and proceeded to clean the deck fully

While the pirates were shi+fting the corpses, Sheyan suddenly noticed a peculiar gli within the uniform pocket of one of the midshi+plow rese his head to inspect, he instantly received a list of notification
