Chapter 171 The Inktresss Vengeance (2/2)

The Inktress's eyes turned dark, nobody insulted her master. Certainly not a Token.

Another inky spike formed in an instant, only thing one didn't stop before it pierced through skin. A wet sounding shik echoed in the quiet brig, and Jeremiah sucked in a breath of air. There was a moment, a pause where no one could quite believe it had happened, the Midas spoke.

”Captain?”

”Insignificant Dog”.

With her insult, the spike retreated back to the damp shadows, leaving a gaping hole in the centre of Jeremiah's chest. The vacant look in the old Captain's eyes was confirmation enough for everyone who watched on.

The Pirate Captain tsked in displeasure, ”He would have sold for a good price too. Anything else you want, Inktress?”

”I'll live,” she replied, ”Aegin if she finds-”

”She won't,” Aegin replied, ”You know she won't”.
