Chapter 162 Maritime Incident_1

"Boss, it's been so long. We should be able to go in now, right?"

A good while had passed, and some were growing restless, ready to make their move.

Captain Heider furrowed his brow in thought, not immediately responding.

In fact, he was deep in contemplation.

According to his intuition, there were definitely Soul Masters among these people.

And it was hard to say about their cultivation level; adhering to the idea that less trouble is better than more, he preferred to wait a bit longer.

"Dad, I understand your concerns, but even if there are Soul Masters among them, so what? We have so many people here. Do we need to fear them?"

Among the crew was Heider's son.

He instantly knew why Heider hesitated and couldn't help but speak out.

That's how people are. When the moment for long-awaited events draws near, every second feels unbearably long.

In fact, after Heider announced the news about the several individuals, if not for the authority of Captain Heider, they wouldn't bother with such complicated methods and would simply rob them outright.

"Alright, charge in then."

Heider gave the order.

"Yeah!"

"Charge, charge, charge!"

Upon receiving the captain's command, the crew roared, brandishing their already prepared swords and knives, and stormed into the dining hall.

Boom.

The red wooden door was kicked open, and seven men entered one after another.

Heider at the rear was surprised to find that once the seven formed a line, they stood frozen like statues, not moving an inch.

"What's the matter, you mischievous lads, what tricks are you playing now?"

Heider grumbled loudly, making his way through the men to the center of the room.

When he had a clear view of everything in front of him, he too was taken aback.

His mouth hung open, a look of disbelief on his face, "You, you guys..."

He saw that the food on the table had already been partly consumed. One man and four women were just sitting quietly at their seats.

His heart was in turmoil.

Completely unable to calm down.

Why were these people, who had eaten the secretly drugged food, still sitting there as if nothing had happened?

Could today's drug be expired?

He couldn't understand at all what had happened.

"Aren't you curious why we're still sitting here instead of lying down?" Qin Xiao asked with a faint smile at the corner of his mouth.

"Esteemed guests, what are you talking about? We just wanted to see if the food was to your liking and if I need to prepare anything else for you," Heider said with a forced smile on his face.

"Hehehe, Captain Heider, are you the fool, or are you treating us as fools?" Ning Rongrong laughed sinisterly, then pointed at the shimmering swords and knives in the hands of the crew members, "Is this how you add dishes? Is this polite?"

Ah, this...

Caught in his lie, the embarrassed look on Heider's face somewhat diminished.

After all, it meant there was no need for pretenses anymore.

"What are you standing there for, regardless of what they're up to? If soft approaches don't work, then use force! Take them down at once!"

A fierce look flashed across Heider's face.

His voice caused the shocked crew members to snap back to reality.

"Captain's right, just go for it, plain and simple."

"They're just four kids. We've got eight people here; how can we not easily capture them?"

"..."

As the voices fell, the crowd rushed toward Qin Xiao and his companions like madmen.

Some even howled at Ning Rongrong, "I want that tender-skinned little girl, who looks like squeezing her would wring out water."

"Then I'll take that buxom, icy-faced girl."

Dividing money and women was not new to them; they had done it more than once or twice.

However...

In the next moment, two people's pupils constricted sharply, hurriedly covering their necks with their hands.

But even so, they were a step too late.

Everyone saw two streaks of cold light pass through the necks of the two men.

Following that, the two men collapsed to the ground, powerless.

Blood seeped through their fingers.

Their life force dissipated along with it.

Heider and his men's eyes widened.

They hadn't anticipated that their battle-tested brothers would fall without resistance right before their eyes.

Of course...

Some were staring at Meng Yiran, who was slowly retracting her hands.

After the girl casually executed two men, there wasn't a single ripple on her face, as if she had just crushed two ants.

"Kill them!"

"Activate your Martial Soul and Soul Rings now."

Heider realized the gravity of the situation.

If they did not take this seriously, these people could potentially annihilate them.

But...

No sooner had the sound of his voice faded...

A crushing Soul Power Pressure suddenly pervaded the cabin.

Heider and his men's faces instantly changed, turning ashen, color draining from their faces, as though heavy burdens of thousands of pounds had landed on their shoulders, rendering them incapable of sustaining their own bodies, and they collapsed to their knees.

Thud.

Thud.

Thud.

Accompanying the sounds, Heider and including his son, five crew members, all knelt down.

They were shaking all over, clenching their teeth, struggling against the immense pressure.

Creak.

At that moment, the grating noise of a chair moving back against the floor somewhat eased the almost frozen atmosphere of the room.

Heider struggled to lift his head and saw that Qin had stood up and walked out.

He was also sure that the source of this terrifying pressure was this elegant-looking young man before him.
