Bai Yan glanced indifferently at the tycoons and called Qin Jiuluo over in a low voice.

Subsequently, he led Shangguan Qun and the others, boarding the First Fleet and heading towards the pirate ship where Joel Ingram was.

This pirate ship had already been thoroughly confiscated, and its crew was controlled by the soldiers of Demon Island.

The training on Demon Island was brutal; every soldier there compared to the best special forces, and groups of one hundred were led by a Demon Servant with A-class strength.

The three naval fleets amounted to a fully armed force of thousands.

Joel Ingram, crouching down with his head in his hands, was guarded by several gun-carrying soldiers from Demon Island.

Bai Yan, with a faint smile on his lips, approached Joel Ingram and said softly, "You're the Pirate Prince? Lift your head."

Joel Ingram's body shuddered as he lifted his head.

Joel Ingram saw, the mocking young man from Hua Xia before him, now looking down at him with a smile and undiminished mockery in his eyes.

"Not so arrogant now? Still want me to kneel and beg for mercy?"

Bai Yan teasingly looked at Joel Ingram.

Seeing the fully armed soldiers of Demon Island around him, Joel Ingram shivered and with a bitter expression, said palely, "In your Hua Xia words, a king in victory, a rogue in defeat, I lost, you can deal with me as you see fit!"

How can we still be arrogant now!

Those three fleets, eyeing this pirate ship hungrily.

Compared to them, we might as well be like tiny fishing boats against aircraft carriers.

Anyone with a brain knows we've kicked iron plates this time.

"You're quite sensible."

Bai Yan laughed out loud, cleared his throat casually, and scanned the dispirited pirates on the deck.

"I declare, you SML pirates are captured by me!"

"If you don't want to die, just obey me and wait for your leader to bring the ransom!"

Bai Yan repeated to the pirates the same words Joel Ingram had previously used when he robbed the Wanyan.

Bai Yan's face still wore a smile: "Of course, that assumes your Pirate Prince is very valuable; if not, I might just toss you all to the sharks!"

Others at sea, when encountering pirates, become deathly pale, wishing to kneel and beg for mercy, handing over money to buy their lives.

But Bai Yan...

He did the opposite: capturing pirates, robbing pirates, extorting pirates!

In this world, who has the strongest fist, who has the fiercest firepower, who is the boss!

Especially at sea, even pirates, when encountering a force more wild, more domineering, and more powerful than themselves, can only tuck their tails and behave.

Joel Ingram, with a bitter mouth, bowed his head and pleaded, "Respected sir from Hua Xia, rest assured, my father will definitely pay the ransom for me, just unsure, how much is your ransom price..."

It was Joel Ingram's first experience feeling utterly ashamed.

SML pirates, globally renowned and troublesome for nations, noted for their hit-and-run tactics, had fallen to the point of paying ransoms for their lives!

God, who is the real pirate here!

"Not much, ten million US Dollars per person, but for you, the Pirate Prince... ten billion US Dollars."

Bai Yan said with a smile: "Rest assured, I am merciful; you don't need to pay for any pirates who died."

Hearing Bai Yan's words, Joel Ingram's face suddenly stiffened.

There were over five hundred pirates remaining on his ship! Adding up to over fifty billion US Dollars!

Including his own ransom, it totaled over one hundred and fifty billion!

Pirates don't have extra food at home!

Where could his father possibly find so much money!

Joel Ingram, with a dismayed face, said to Bai Yan, "Respected sir from Hua Xia, can the ransom be a little less? We don't have that much money either!"

Pirates buying warships, hiring crew, and bribing nations all demand a substantial amount of funds.

Where do you find so much working capital for ransom!

"I have no solution for this, figure it out yourself!"

Bai Yan sneered, "I want to give you a friendly reminder. If your father refuses to pay the ransom, I will personally cut off every piece of flesh from your body and send it to your father."

Upon hearing this, Joel Ingram's face turned deathly pale.

He thought of a cruel torture in Hua Xia—dismemberment!

Oh god, he definitely did not want to be treated like this!

"Sir, this is robbery!"

Joel Ingram cried with a gloomy face.

"I am robbing!"

Bai Yan sneered.

"I..."

Joel Ingram was on the verge of tears, unable to utter a word.

For the first time, he felt how the people he had robbed in the past felt—how sorrowful, helpless, and aggrieved they were.

Because now, his heart was filled with such feelings.

Bai Yan then glanced indifferently at the other pirates, waved his hand, and ordered Liu Yihui, "Send someone to contact the boss of SML pirates and demand a ransom!"

"Yes, master!"

Shangguan Qun said respectfully.

When God's Enemy was wandering in the F continent, he had dealt with many underground organizations in the Mortal World, and knew a bit about the SML pirates, having had a few encounters.

Contacting their boss and demanding a ransom wasn't difficult.

As Shangguan Qun operated on board the ship and sent out the message, in another shielded archipelago, a burly man with a ferocious face and one eye roared madly: "Damn it! Damn God's Enemy! How dare you kidnap my child!"

"And asking me to pay so much money at once, pay first then release him! Mr. Fu, do you think I'm a pushover!!"

"Ah, damn it, I want to kill your whole family!"

The One-eyed Dragon roared while frantically grabbing the firearms beside him, shooting wildly into the sky.

"The sound of gunfire 'da-da-da' resonated urgently."

But this was not enough to quell his anger, rather it made him more anxious.

Joel Ingram was his only son, the heir to the SML pirates!

"Boss, there are three fleets over there, with dozens of military vessels, what should we do?"

After the One-eyed Dragon had vented, a few pirates quietly approached from afar and asked in a low voice.

Money?

Or son?

Now, these were the only two options before him.

The One-eyed Dragon's expression kept changing, struggling tremendously within. If he chose not to pay the ransom, not only would he lose his only heir but also a substantial amount of prestige.

A leader who does not cherish his subordinates will absolutely not have followers.

After a long silence, the One-eyed Dragon finally sighed deeply, seeming to age several years in an instant: "Agree to their terms and make a one-time payment of 15 billion US dollars to their account!"

He actually had another option—that was to gather his men for revenge, to kidnap.

But the other side's firepower was complete and strong, as long as he dared to show up, it would definitely be a doomed situation!

Moreover, the most critical point was that the other party did not intend to give him any time to delay.

Three hours, no payment, and they'll tear up the ticket!

This is more overbearing than the pirates!

"Who the hell is the real pirate here!"

The One-eyed Dragon shouted angrily into the sky.
