Chapter 111 – A Strange Change
Gaden recalled the scene from two months ago ……
After the destruction of the two largest gangs, Shark and Quake, the ranking of the pirate forces on the Northwest Bay will naturally have to change, in this chaotic situation, “Loach” Gaden made an important decision: wait and see what happens.
He gathered the big and small leaders of his gang in a temporary stronghold and announced this decision.
“From now on, keep a low profile, and when the situation stabilizes, we’ll operate as before.”
A leader asked, “But chief, now that Shark and Quake are finished, if we can seize the opportunity, we might be able to become the largest pirate force in the Northwest Bay. With our power, if we hunker down at this time, wouldn’t we be giving up our ranking position to someone else.”
The chief’s tone was slightly dissatisfied, as if he was questioning Gaden’s leadership ability.
But Gaden scoffed at his words, “Stick to the head, now Alda Lord Paul Gleiman is exactly the time when he is full of ambition, to fight for that kind of flashy ranking at this time, isn’t that grabbing a target for him?”
He stared at the young leader and said, “If you want to go and fight for it, you can go out and do it alone, but don’t drag your brethren along to get killed.”
The little leader’s neck craned, clearly shocked by Gaden’s words.
He quickly explained, “Chief Gaden, I was just voicing my advice. Hehehe, I know how much weight I have, and you will always be my boss.”
Gaden grunted, he expected that this little chief wouldn’t dare to have any dissent.
“Dismissed for now! I’m going to think about the strategy of my future actions.”
Gaden waved his hand and let his men disperse.
The crowd rose and excused themselves, and a moment later the room was quiet.
The only one who remained was the young leader who had just disagreed with his decision.
Gaden narrowed his eyes, “What are you still staying here for?”
Speaking of which, the person in front of him seemed a bit strange, usually this little leader was silent, doing whatever he was told to do, never asking more than one question, today he even dared to have an opinion on his decision?
The small chief did not answer, but crunched his neck and straightened up in his seat, changing his cowering temperament from just now.
Gaden felt as if he had been offended in some way, and he became slightly annoyed, deciding to teach this underling in front of him who didn’t know the heights of heaven a good lesson.
However, the next second he felt as if he was in an ice cellar, and couldn’t help but shiver; it was clear that the weather had just turned cooler now, and the temperature couldn’t possibly be so low.
Looking at the henchman again, a strange smile appeared on the guy’s face, just staring straight at the leader of the pirate group.
Gaden sensed a hint of danger, it felt like he was being stared at by a poisonous snake spitting out letters.
He quietly reached his right hand behind his back and felt the poisoned dagger strapped to his waist, and his heart settled a little.
In those few seconds, a series of terrifying thoughts flashed through Gaden’s mind:
Was this guy planning to rebel? The heartthrob henchmen on guard outside wouldn’t have been taken out already, would they?
Seeing how confident he looks, could it be that he has already made sufficient preparations? I’m usually so cautious and careful, I don’t want to still be in the gutter!
How on earth did the other party prepare for this, there was no sign or indication at all.
“Once he gives the signal, a large group of traitors will definitely rush in from outside to finish me off!”
Gaden thought so while pulling out a small section of the dagger, with such a close distance, he was confident that he could accurately throw the dagger onto the other party, with the potent poison on top of the dagger, as long as it could graze a little bit of the skin, this traitor would slowly wait for his death amidst the agonizing torment.
Hmph! Want my life, then take your own life in exchange.
Gaden coldly growled lowly, “Swordfish, answer my question! I don’t want to ask it a second time!” The henchman nicknamed Swordfish still didn’t answer his question, and just as Gaden was getting annoyed and was going to try and call out to his heartthrob who didn’t know whether he was alive or dead outside, the other party made a move.
“Snap! Snap! Snap!”
The swordfish actually clapped its hands.
Gaden took the other man’s clapping as a signal to send to his rebel co-conspirators, gripping the dagger behind his back tightly, his whole body muscles tensed as he waited for someone to break through the door.
Put up a fight!
One second, two seconds, three seconds ……
Nothing came in, nothing happened.
A look of doubt flickered across Gaden’s face, but it was still caught by Swordfish.
“Hahahahahaha!”
Swordfish laughed out loud, and Gaden, whose attention had been focused on him, finally detected a hint of something unusual: the loud laughing voice was not that of Swordfish himself.
The other party seemed to be mocking himself, Gaden was somewhat humiliated, and the fear in his heart was growing more and more prevalent, although the expected bad things didn’t happen, this bizarre situation right now was a hundred times worse than charging in a large group of traitors.
Who is this “swordfish” in front of us?
How did he disguise himself as a swordfish?
Where is the real swordfish now?
What exactly is the other party’s reliance so that he is reckless in front of him? I don’t see him carrying any weapons.
Gaden forced himself to calm down for a while and asked in a deep voice, “Who exactly is your …… Excellency?”
The “Swordfish” who was still sitting in his seat was very obviously stunned, then reacted and asked with a smile, “What, have you already been recognized?”
“Hmph! It is impossible for a swordfish to be so bold in front of me. Of course, the most betraying thing about you is the sound of your laughter just now, I am very familiar with Swordfish’s voice.”
Gaden stated how he could see the other’s disguise.
“Swordfish,” he said after clapping his hands a second time:
“Oops, a moment of carelessness, but let the voice betray me, originally I wanted to let you continue to be puzzled for a while, this time to see no joke.”
“Should I say that I’m not ashamed to be a ‘loach’? The strategy of not being a standout just now is still really worthy of this nickname.”
Gaden questioned, “Who are you? What is the purpose of your visit here? Where is the real swordfish?”
The “Swordfish” looked at Gaden with a slight glint in his eye, and he held out three fingers without any panic, “Here are three questions, let’s make a deal, for each question I answer, you promise me a …… ?”
“Fuck your deal!”
Without waiting for the “Swordfish” to finish, a dagger flew at his face at breakneck speed, and Gaden threw his weapon with all his might, moving as fast as lightning.
When the dagger was just out of his hand, he felt a bit unbelievable: when did he become so reckless, even without finding out the other party’s details, he made a move.
The feeling just now was very subtle, almost as soon as the idea of killing the “swordfish” surfaced in his mind, his body put it into action on its own, without even giving his brain a chance to think about it.
Forget it, let’s just kill it. I don’t want to get into some messy business.
Gaden was very confident in his hardened dagger and throwing accuracy, however something that blew people’s minds happened:
The dagger accurately hit his opponent in the center of his eyebrow, and then ……
“It fell to the ground with a thud.
