Chapter 138 The Opportunity That Will Never Come

Just as I am guessing your plan, you should also be guessing mine—and, based on the deliberately leaked clues, guessing my plan with near-perfect accuracy. The situation you're happy to see is constantly unfolding: Shar and Blind Matt leading the team, with me and Scarface Henry leading the elite on the ship to reinforce them. The entire defense force on the Bell and Mug has been almost completely emptied. The only remaining threat, and the greatest and most intense threat, is Armand! As long as he leaves his cabin a hundred meters, no, even fifty meters, you'll be able to clear out his room as clean as a dog licked it, and leave this damned world unscathed.

The focus of everything lies in when Armand will leave this ship. The only possibility is when we successfully loot on shore and return loaded with spoils or return in defeat. As a pirate captain, he can't lead the charge on the front line, but he can justify guarding the rear at headquarters. But if the meritorious veterans return triumphantly from bloody battles, and you're still brazenly staying on the ship putting on airs of an enjoyer, then it won't make sense from any point of view. Obviously, Armand still knows this trick of winning people's hearts, otherwise he wouldn't be able to sit in the position of one of the Seven Pirate Lords—this is the only opportunity you've been waiting so hard for, right!

Seeing this, Klee's fat face turned green and then white, and then white and then green! Cold sweat poured down his forehead, completely wetting his hair. He didn't even have time to wipe it away. His heart felt as if it had sunk into an ice cellar! He never expected that the person he wanted to scheme against was such a guy, such a mind-reading devil! He took a few deep breaths, already hurriedly continuing to read on.

…….Here I must regretfully tell you that the opportunity you are waiting for will never come.

I have been deliberately revealing a lot of information in front of you that "my current position was hard-earned," so it has created for you the superficial phenomenon that I value my current position as boatswain, because I got it with difficulty, and I also plan to use it to climb higher. I believe this view has already taken root in your heart.

But, in fact, what I want to tell you is that you have to be willing to give up something to gain something. If I couldn't bear to part with the position of boatswain and the prestige I have painstakingly built up on the Bell and Mug, then how could I cleverly arrange you to be my most important chess piece?

I am destined to betray Armand.

During this expedition.

So Armand will never wait for the news of our triumphant return. The only news that awaits his passionate anticipation is my betrayal that deals him a heavy blow—no matter how my plan is executed, whether the final outcome is success or failure, survival or death—I will betray him, thoroughly and completely betray him.

Then, for you, Mr. Klee, who is acting as a hostage on the ship with the identity of "blood-related brother" and "life-saving benefactor." With your rich imagination, you should be able to imagine what cruel torture the furious Armand will use on your ass to vent his anger.

Based on the peace of my father's soul and a reward of ten pounds, Long-Legged Robben has at least an 88.4% chance of faithfully executing my order: to deliver this letter to you on time two hours after departure. At this time, I may be dead, or I may still be alive somewhere in this world, but that doesn't matter to you. What matters is that I must have made a move to betray Armand, and it is very likely that the great Son of the Black Sea has now received this unfortunate news—so for your own safety, Mr. Klee, please be sure to carefully listen to the sound of footsteps from outside the cabin. It is very likely that it is the sound made by the people Armand sent to arrest you.

For the sake of those two gold pounds, my last piece of advice to you is:

Immediately detonate the bomb on the ship, create a huge chaos, and then immediately jump into the sea!

The greater the power of the explosion, the more thoroughly the Bell and Mug is destroyed, the weaker the force chasing you will be, and the higher your safety factor will be. Of course, if you are a very rebellious person and refuse to detonate the bomb and escape directly, then I can be sure that the shrewd pirates will drag you out of the sea within a minute—and that's if Armand doesn't take action.

Believe me, although soaking in the cold sea in this weather is definitely not a pleasant experience, it is much happier than personally experiencing the various cruel tortures of the pirates. As long as a person is still alive, then there is hope, don't you think?

Your faithful friend, cousin, life-saver, creditor,

Sailor Rock from the East

Sincerely

Ten seconds after Klee finished reading the letter, footsteps came from outside the cabin.

The footsteps were neither heavy nor loud. However, Klee's pupils immediately constricted. There was not only panic in them, but also great fear!

Fang Senyan's letter not only shattered his confidence, but also turned this guy into a frightened bird. His fragile nerves, stimulated by negative emotions such as frustration, panic, and defeat, had reached the breaking point!

Even though the source of the footsteps was just a pirate coming to the bottom cabin to pick up a piece of clothing and passing by.

The next thing was very simple.

Klee used a small-scale explosion to blast open the ship's plank on the sea-facing side and jumped into the cold sea. Since he had had a full seven days to consider escaping in the water beforehand, he had naturally prepared some underwater acceleration, breathing tools, and supplies.

Twenty seconds later—while the panicked pirate guarding the door was still running to the captain's room to report the news, Klee, who had swam nearly a hundred meters, gritted his teeth and detonated all the mental power bombs he had placed on the Bell and Mug! Although he didn't want to do what Fang Senyan said, he had to do it, he dared not not do it! Because Klee could also feel Armand's terror—even though this man had never completely revealed his true strength!

Then there was the scene that Fang Senyan and Scarface Henry witnessed on the ship with their own eyes.

……………………………………………….

The raging fire burned fiercely on the sea. The burning was so intense and turbulent that the ashes and some debris were violently thrown up by the rising hot air, appearing particularly tragic and desolate. Such a grand scene not only left the remaining three pirates dumbfounded, but even the instigator, Fang Senyan, felt a bit unexpected.

The all-consuming fire undoubtedly made Fang Senyan's ambitions even more fiery, but it also completely incinerated the hopes of some people. Scarface Henry stared blankly at the distant sea. The color on his face quickly turned pale. In that instant, he lost all motivation to move forward!

As long as a person has something to protect in their heart, they can stimulate all the potential in their life and move forward bravely when in adversity. Scarface Henry, who was already seriously injured, was only relying on a belief in his heart to support himself bitterly, so that he could be unruly and violent until now. But when he witnessed such a grand destruction, all the injuries and pain that he had been suppressing on his body burst out in that instant! Because the things he wanted to protect and fight for had vanished into thin air in that instant, completely shattered! (At this time, the captain and some senior sailors have an unimaginable affection for the ship. Some people simply regard the ship as their wife and children. In *Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides*, Captain Jack Sparrow said: The captain should sink with the ship).

Fang Senyan's final blow was aimed at hurting his heart rather than his body. It can be said that it completely crushed Scarface Henry's continued fighting will. His old partner who had weathered tens of thousands of miles with him was destroyed on the spot, and the object he wanted to be loyal to was of unknown fate. Half of his life had collapsed! What's more, he was still suffering from huge injuries that would have caused ordinary people to collapse long ago? Scarface Henry clenched his fists tightly, stood at the bow of the ship, and let the Caribbean wind caress his cheeks, slowly closing his eyes.

This was the source of Fang Senyan's confidence! As long as Armand let him ashore, then the destruction of the Bell and Mug was almost a foregone conclusion. He was the eternal winner—as long as he went ashore, the worst possibility was that he would be rejected and hunted down by all the crew members of the Bell and Mug who went ashore! But don't forget, it was mentioned in the previous mission: Caribbean pirates are a group of guys who are in awe of the strong. Whether you release kindness or malice to them—as long as it leaves a deep impression on them, it can increase your reputation among them!

There is no doubt that finding a way to blow up the Bell and Mug would raise his reputation among the pirates to a new level again!

Therefore, even if the worst situation occurred, Fang Senyan could still reap huge benefits! What's more, the probability of this kind of thing happening was not high!

Fang Senyan stood five meters away from Scarface Henry. Although all his states had returned to their best at this time, taking that unpurified Blood Orchid also had huge side effects: all attributes would be reduced by 33% for ten minutes after taking it. Fang Senyan had always speculated about his opponents with the worst possible outcome. If Scarface Henry had continued to maintain that berserk state, he really wouldn't have been confident of resolving the battle within ten minutes. So if even destroying the Bell and Mug, this final hidden card, couldn't crush Scarface Henry, then Fang Senyan would really have to consider escaping.

The sea breeze blew slowly, and Scarface Henry's eyes dimmed. His heart struggled again, convulsing weakly, and finally stopped beating under the weight of the burden.

Bell and Mug First Mate

Scarface Henry dies

Died at the age of forty-seven

……….

Even though Scarface Henry had stopped breathing, he still stood upright at the bow of the ship, his eyes wide open in anger, as if he would burst out and hurt someone again at any moment. Even when he was dead, he appeared ferocious and unruly, with a captivating magic. A conch shell shimmering with silver light fell from his body and rolled to Fang Senyan's feet. Fang Senyan picked it up casually, feeling an indescribable power contained within! In addition, Armand's silver rapier, which Scarface Henry had been carrying, also fell to the ground, but it was dim and dull.
