Additionally, I have many new works readers may be interested in. Go look, if you wish! 

"Boss, just like you predicted, that arms dealer is no simple character. All the guys we sent to cause trouble are dead."

"Especially the Triple Musketeer Pirates. They died a gruesome death!"

"Our captain, despite his 30-million-bounty reputation, got his head smacked so hard it spun several circles. It was terrifying to witness."

"Good thing we didn't get involved."

"It's all thanks to the boss's foresight!"

"Now there's no rival for the Hyena Pirates on this island; we can truly reign as kings."

...

The moniker "Hyena" typically refers to someone brutally tenacious and cunning.

Many people go by this name, including the captain of the Hyena Pirates, 'Hyena' Beverly.

He realized earlier than the others that the new arms dealer on the island was an adversary not to be trifled with.

So while others were eyeing the dealer's position, he chose to stand aside and not get involved—a choice that proved to be correct.

The Triple Musketeer Pirates, who used to compete with them for control over the island, were completely annihilated.

With no rivals left, the island's control was theirs.

Finding a place to be the king for a lifetime isn't such a bad deal.

After all, most pirates don't sail out to become Pirate King or fulfill some grand dream; they're in it for the money.

With money, you have everything.

Why sail the seas?

Life's good here, isn't it?

Every day there's meat to eat, wine to drink, and any woman you fancy, just take.

A carefree, joyful life!

Moreover, 'Hyena' Beverly saw having a mysterious, powerful arms dealer on the island as an opportunity.

Their positions weren't in opposition.

One sells, the other buys—a natural partnership.

Why seek trouble then?

He even thought of buying some arms from the dealer to strengthen his pirate crew.

As for the rest, he deemed them all fools.

"Have we come across any good loot these past few days?"

After a satisfying meal, Beverly scratched his crotch and then inquired to his subordinates.

An eager subordinate immediately boasted, "We captured a woman yesterday, a real beauty!"

"Oh? What about her husband?"

"He owed us money. Chopped him up and threw him into the sea."

"Clumsy, too clumsy. What else?"

"Boss, we've just nabbed a young girl today. A bit unripe, but definitely a budding beauty."

"Good, not bad. We'll take the two of them."

"I'll go arrange it."

"The captain is going to be a dad."

"Hahaha, indeed! The captain knows how to have fun!"

"I'll try that next time."

...

Inside the dungeon, a number of disheveled women sat on the ground in a state of despair and numbness.

Only those who had just been captured still had other vivid expressions such as fear, anger, and worry.

Creak!

The dungeon door opened, and many of the women shuddered as if reacting to a stimulus, bowing their heads down, trembling.

The 'new girl,' however, didn't yet know what she was about to face.

"The captain sure knows how to play."

"That's why he's the captain, and we're just lackeys."

"Let me see. Oh, here she is. Such a pretty face, such a figure. Damn, she's stirring up all my desires."

"Don't mess around, the captain is waiting for us."

"It's okay, we still have so many here, I'll be done quickly."

"Damn! You really are in a hurry."

"Got it, stop nagging."

Henchman No.1 chose a cell that looked pleasing and clean, opened the door, and pounced.

Druyanika watched the scene in horror, terrified.

Tears uncontrollably began to flow.

"Help me, can anyone save me?"

"Kid, Killer, where are you? I'm not angry with you anymore, sob sob sob."

Henchman No.2 was already annoyed, and her crying only irritated him further, prompting him to rattle the iron bars twice, "Stop crying, if the captain is not satisfied later, you can just wait to die."

Druyanika's crying suddenly stopped.

Henchman No.2 thought his threat had worked, pleased with his intimidation.

But why did that girl's face show a look of surprise?

Bang!

Pfft.

Kid first leaped up and smashed his wrench on the guy's head, then Killer quickly followed up with a slash, piercing his throat with a sickle.

Kid quickly gestured for Druyanika to keep quiet with a 'shush' sign, then he and Killer approached the unsuspecting Henchman No.1.

Using the same trick, the second man was also swiftly dealt with.

They were lucky, having infiltrated undetected, and followed these unlucky fellows straight to the cell where Druyanika and others were held.

"Don't speak, just follow us."

Druyanika nodded excitedly, but hesitated after taking a step out.

All the people here shared her same plight.

If she left, what would happen to them?

Would they suffer retribution?

Even if not, could she leave them in this hellish place to be humiliated?

She was kind-hearted, but under these circumstances, kindness was fatal.

"Can we take everyone here with us? Otherwise, they might die."

Hearing Druyanika's soft plea,

Kid and Killer exchanged a glance, both showing a look of helplessness.

This was the enemy's stronghold.

Escape with a dozen people?

Unless everyone outside was blind!

"Let's talk about it after we get out."

Kid was unmoved.

Having grown up in chaos, he was far from a good-hearted person; had it not been for the fact that she was the girl both he and Killer had a crush on, he wouldn't have risked bringing his brothers here.

Druyanika's mood darkened with his indirect refusal but didn't say anything more, silently following behind them.

And throughout, these women neither spoke out to betray them nor begged for their own rescue.

This also weighed heavily on Druyanika's heart.

She was kind, but not foolish.

Her suggestion was indeed overly fanciful.

It might have even put Kid and Killer, who came to rescue, at risk.

But why did she still feel so heavy-hearted?

The three of them stealthily moved towards the exit, and the preoccupied Druyanika accidentally kicked a bottle lying on the ground, drawing immediate looks from those startled awake.

"Not good, run!"

After being spotted, Kid and Killer took Druyanika's hand and started sprinting for the outside.

"Where did these brats come from?"

"Don't just stand there, catch them!"

"We can't let them get away."

In an instant, the entire base erupted into commotion.

A certain someone 'accidentally' wandering nearby, upon hearing the chaotic noise inside, knew those two boys had screwed things up again.
