Chapter 413: Pirates

"The Black Tortoise Pirate Group did not accept our invitation, which was within our expectations. Their captain has a contract with Li Chunchu, forbidding him from harming his descendants. But worse still, they didn't even agree to my suggestion of standing by and watching; their reply to me was ambiguous."

Adam Hydra sighed: "So I can't guarantee the Black Tortoise Pirate Group's movements after the battle begins. I've let you down, Casari."

"No, this is enough. Knowing the Black Tortoise Pirate Group's attitude, I can make corresponding countermeasures. We don't need to worry about those guys; if they plan to join the battle, naturally someone will hold them back."

Casari Gates's eyes flickered: "But now I'm curious—there's a rumor that the Black Tortoise Pirate Group and Li Chunchu both have some connection to the Celestial Dynasty. I wonder if it's true."

"That's unlikely, isn't it?"

Hydra was secretly startled, incredulous: "Back then, the war between Li Chunchu and the Black Tortoise Pirate Group did indeed kill many people; that was obvious to all. And that guy Li Chunchu has always been an agent for those powerful figures in the CIA on the continent of Antolia."

"Not necessarily."

Casari Gates thought that it might not be impossible that the current captain of the Black Tortoise Pirate Group was using a knife to kill someone else, using Li Chunchu's hand to purge his former subordinates.

Of course, this was just his speculation; he had no solid evidence.

"Forget it! No matter the truth, it has nothing to do with us now. For the moment, the 'Blood-Eyed Angel' is the priority. When will your Gray Wolf Pirate Group's ships and men arrive? If we don't want to be hunted down by her one by one like prey, we need to send that angel to heaven, or hell, as soon as possible."

"They've already arrived, about 300 nautical miles from here. Our captain doesn't plan to rendezvous with you here. He intends to launch a pincer attack from the south when the operation begins."

After Hydra said this, he found Casari still staring at him, and he gave a helpless smile: "Fifty warships, one battleship, five destroyers, two submarines, four 'Demon-Subduer' class magical armor suits, two legends—this is the best we can do."

Casari Gates sneered: "Your father really knows how to avoid risks and seek benefits."

Hydra was speechless. If the 'Blood-Eyed Angel' really came, then the large fleet assembled by the Tomahawk Pirate Group would surely be the maid's main target.

"Casari, but each person bears different responsibilities, don't they? We promise that if battle breaks out here, our two legendary powerhouses will arrive at the first moment."

Casari's expression relaxed slightly, and just as he was about to say something, his expression shifted again as he turned to look at another figure flying through the air toward them.

"Garcia! Looks like your wound has healed, hasn't it?"

"Of course. I can't miss this battle."

The newcomer was a man clad in silver-white battle armor, with a head of gray hair, a burly frame, and a huge scar at the corner of his eye. His demeanor was imposing without anger, and the killing intent in his eyes condensed like needles: "Gates, have you already sent out the news? Are you sure that bitch will come?"

"I'm not sure, Mr. Garcia. I can only guarantee that she has now learned of the situation. If that 'Blood-Eyed Angel' lady is truly loyal to Li Chunchu's family, then two days later, she will definitely appear in these waters."

Casari Gates curled his lips, a smile appearing on his face: "In fact, according to the information I've gathered, Robert E. Vaughn is already moving toward the east coast. But how she plans to go to sea, I don't know. After all, in the open sea environment, even a legendary powerhouse would find it difficult to fly across. Or should we give her a hand?"

"No matter what, you have to guarantee that bitch shows up here."

As he said this, the man surnamed Garcia couldn't help but touch the scar on his face, which was clearly a recent one.

"I swear, I will tear that bitch to pieces!"

"Whoa, then I think Mr. Garcia will find it very difficult to achieve his wish."

Casari Gates smiled arrogantly: "I think by the time we defeat her, she'll already be a lump of flesh. I don't believe she can control what the Mayans call the 'Battle Angel's' power, what do you think?"

...

Macon—there are many Macons in the American Federation, but here it refers to Macon, Georgia. Located southeast of Atlanta, it is one of the top-ranking cities in Georgia.

At this moment, in the southeastern part of Macon, inside a storefront in a bustling downtown area. Larry Doug, the newly hired Deputy Security Chief of Macon for Sunrise Electric Retail Company, completed his daily inspection of the store, which covered an area of six hundred square meters, after nightfall.

His main focus was the magical energy array; he had to check whether the array was functioning properly and its structure was intact.

This was also the reason he received a high salary of 1.83 million gold shields a year—a mere fighter, a Level 14 Outlaw, could not possibly earn such a high salary. He had basic knowledge of magical energy arrays and fifteen years of military experience, which made him perfectly suited for this position.

Since the salary and bonuses provided by Sunrise Electric Retail Company were quite good, definitely among the top in the industry, Larry Doug conducted his inspection with great care.

As for the security team on duty at the store today, Larry Doug didn't pay much attention. These were all recently hired veterans who had undergone security training, so he didn't need to worry about them.

Although they weren't from the same unit, Larry Doug still had full trust in his comrades. He only gave a solemn warning before leaving.

"Stay alert these next few days. Major General Michael Wood has issued a warning order. Our boss is not in Atlanta right now, and some malicious individuals might take the opportunity to target our company."

Upon hearing this, the several security guards couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Isn't it enough that Major General Michael Wood is here? Our boss is said to have good talent, but he's just a high school arena fighting star right now. Who would be afraid of him?"

Larry Doug thought so too, but his expression remained serious: "Still, we must be careful. After all, our boss has taken many good men with him. Don't you grin at me! This is Major General Wood's judgment!"

After warning the security guards, he left the store and got into his Norfolk sedan.

He still had three more stores to inspect. Sunrise had opened seven stores in this area, and since the Security Chief had not yet assumed his post, all of this was his responsibility.

But just as he sat in the driver's seat, Larry Doug suddenly felt a chill down his back. His mind tightened, his body stiffened, and his heart sank to the bottom—he knew he had been careless.

"When you get to hell, take the chance to say hello to your boss on behalf of our Dragon Witch Cult."

As soon as these words were spoken, a gunshot rang out inside the car. A bloody hole suddenly burst open in Larry Doug's forehead, and a large amount of blood splattered onto the car window.
