"They've retreated!"

"God... ah, no! Thank our kind and powerful Mr. Bai! His men drove away the pirates!"

"We're saved!"

"Oh my god, that scared me to death, so many pirates died!"

Seeing the pirates retreat like a receding tide, everyone was extremely excited, many throwing their hats high into the air to express their exhilaration and joy.

And there were quite a few beautiful ladies and missus gazing affectionately at Bai Yan.

The stronger the man, the more he stirred the springtime feelings in women's hearts.

If it weren't for the inappropriate circumstances, these women would have rushed over to surround Bai Yan and devoured him completely.

"Master, they've withdrawn."

Qin Jiuluo hopped down from the deck to Bai Yan's side and said in a low voice.

"Mhm, next comes the artillery strike."

Bai Yan nodded indifferently, standing on the deck, his gaze fixed on the three pirate ships' movements.

"What, artillery strike!"

Qin Jiuluo's face changed; the Wanyan didn't have the slightest bit of high-tech naval weaponry installed. If the pirates really used long-range artillery suppression, the Wanyan would be nothing but a live target!

Utterly powerless to retaliate!

Indeed!

Just as Bai Yan predicted, the three pirate ships began to distance themselves and then turn around.

Each pirate ship turned its side toward the Wanyan, bristling with cannon turrets and machine gun muzzles glinting with cold metallic luster.

Aside from inferior firepower and turret models compared to various national warships, these pirate ships were armed to the teeth!

Joel Ingram stood at the front of the deck, using a megaphone, angrily shouting: "Damn Hua Xia! Damn yellow-skinned people!"

"Listen to me! You have angered the great Prince Joel Ingram! Starting now, I no longer need captives, nor do I need your wealth!"

"Get on your knees! Beg for mercy! Confess! I will let you die in agony under my barrages!"

Joel Ingram's voice clearly reached every wealthy person's ears on the deck, all faces turning uniformly pale, filled with terror.

"He's going to sink this ship!"

"Damn it, the pirates didn't leave! Mr. Bai killed too many pirates, and he has enraged Joel Ingram!"

"If Mr. Bai hadn't fought back just now and complied with the pirates, perhaps we would've just needed to spend some money to go home, but now..."

"We're done for! We're definitely going to die this time!"

People wailed; they didn't dare point their resentment towards Bai Yan, only to collapse one after another on the deck, some even scared to incontinence by Joel Ingram.

"What should we do? Master, should I fly over and kill these scumbags?"

Qin Jiuluo said through clenched teeth.

As an S-level Abnormal, he could fly, and if it were just him alone, he might struggle somewhat against the artillery and machine gun nests, but with Zhang Kailei's help, Qin Jiuluo was seventy percent confident he could take care of the pirates.

"No need."

Bai Yan shook his head indifferently with a smile, not using a megaphone but instead gathering the Demon Aura within him, and shouted loudly: "That so-and-so Joel motherf***er! Are you a damn poet? If you're going to fight, then fight, stop spouting nonsense!"

A poet, what does that mean?

Is he praising me?

Joel Ingram was stunned.

A poet originally implied a person being profound, reserved, and bold. But in today's internet era, a batch of superficial and impetuous people also draped themselves in the cloak of being 'poetic.'

As a result, in Hua Xia, the title 'poet' gradually became not praise but sarcasm for a group of people who are half-baked experts.

Obviously, Joel Ingram was a pirate who persistently used fancy foreign terms, which undoubtedly made him seem half-baked.

After his men explained, Joel Ingram finally understood the underlying meaning of Bai Yan's words.

So this damn yellow-skinned man, he's mocking me!

He actually dares to mock the great Pirate Prince!

"Oh! F**k! Yellow pig, you will suffer a terrible death! I swear it!"

Joel Ingram shouted furiously: "Fire! Fire! Sink this ship!"

"Boom!"

A massive sound of cannon fire rang out!

The sound was enormous, deafening.

However, Wanyan remained unscathed.

Instead, across the sky, a missile trailing an orange-red flame tail streaked across, drawing a beautiful arc and hit one of the pirate ships!

"Boom!!!"

An explosion sounded.

A fragile pirate ship's deck was hit; pirates onboard didn't even have a chance to scream before they were dreadfully killed on the spot!

Billowing black smoke rose into the sky; the ship was ablaze everywhere!

Many pirates screamed as they jumped ship, trying desperately to survive, but there were indeed a large number of sharks roaming the sea!

They were waiting for the delivery of a feast!

The entire pirate ship was teetering.

Just the might of one cannon was so formidable!

"Damn it, someone's attacking us!"

The pirates shouted desperately.

Joel Ingram panicked, and hastily yelled, asking, "First Mate! First Mate, what the hell is going on! Didn't we already scout the area? There are no warships nearby! Where did that shell come from!"

"Prince, I don't know either."

The First Mate said with a sullen face to Joel Ingram.

Joel Ingram liked it when people called him Prince, it made him feel as if he had returned to his own country before it experienced war, still in a time of peace.

However, Joel Ingram didn't feel that way now.

He felt nothing but panic. Where is the enemy?

Why can't I see them!

Why can't my radar detect them!

Everyone on the Wanyan was stunned; these previously despairing tycoons saw hope for life once again.

The wild vicissitudes of life made many cry with emotion.

"We're saved!"

"It must be a warship! Is it a Hua Xia warship? Or is it from India?"

"Fantastic! We're saved!"

The wealthy individuals cheered, roaring to release their joy.

"Sshh... Sshh... Sshh..."

Qin Jiuluo and others were also puzzled; just then, his walkie-talkie crackled with static.

"Sshh... Sshh... Sshh... Fleet One, activate the radar and satellite jammer left behind by Minister Chen, shield the magnetic field of this area, don't let satellites capture it."

"Sshh... Sshh... Sshh... Fleet Two, protect the Wanyan and its owner, all artillery batteries prepare to fire on my command!"

"Sshh... Sshh... Sshh... Fleet Three, deploy Demon Beehive Fighters, all worker bees, engage in battle, sink the second pirate ship for me!"

Orders came through the walkie-talkie one after another.

Then, the voice on the walkie-talkie became clearer: "Greetings to the owner! Vice Minister Qin, sir! This is the commander of the Demon Island naval fleet; we presently control the battlefield. Please issue the next order, sir!"

Right after the voice on the walkie-talkie ceased.

"Whoosh~! Whoosh~!"

"Whoosh~! Whoosh~!"

"Whoosh~! Whoosh~!"

Behind the Wanyan, wave after wave of combat aircraft with long white contrails headed towards the three pirate ships.

The sky was filled, densely packed, blotted out like an eclipse.

There were at least dozens of combat aircraft; even a regular patrol warship couldn't be equipped with so many - the line-up was nothing short of magnificent!

All the fighters were painted in total black, resembling bees; these were the self-developed Demon Beehive Fighters of Demon Island!

Each aircraft was unmanned, and although their firepower was slightly inferior to the top fighters of Hua Xia, they won out in sheer numbers!

They began firing repeatedly at the pirate ships.

"Whizzz whizzz whizzz~!"

"Boom!!"

"Boom boom boom!"

Explosions sounded incessantly; Joel Ingram was completely dumbfounded. Where on earth did these fighters come from?

The First Mate, ever loyal, quickly pulled Joel Ingram down.

He snatched the megaphone from the Prince's hand, screaming in frantic desperation: "All hands to battle stations! Everyone, to battle stations!"

"Warship incoming, everyone cover the Prince's retreat!"

Warship...warship incoming?

A bitter look flashed in Joel Ingram's eyes, then his face turned utterly pale.

What the hell is the Wanyan, that it warrants protection by a warship!

But none of that mattered anymore.

Dozens of jets were roaring past, aerial-to-surface missiles incessantly firing down, bombarding the pirate ships crazily.

The pirate ships could barely hold on any longer!
