The crew on the ship was engulfed in fear, their screams echoing repeatedly! At that moment, not a single expert remained on board who could challenge Charlie!


    Xion had been struck by a poisoned arrow, and her condition appeared critical. The remaining members of the Banks n had been thrown overboard by Charlie, with some already submerged in the water, too weak to stay afloat.


    The only person left in the cabin was Mr. Johnson, a hidden assassin aboard the ship, whose presence even Xion was unaware of. However, he was now lifeless. Besides the captain and the chief mate, only a handful of sailors remained in the cabin.


    These sailors had never trained in martial arts, making them no match for Charlie.


    Just when it seemed that all hope was lost, Charlie suddenly kicked open the door of the cockpit. In an instant, he stepped inside. Several terrified sailors felt their legs give way and fell to their knees, crying out, “Please, brother, have mercy! I’m just a Soviet crew member; I didn’t do anything wrong!”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Others also knelt and pleaded, “Yes, big brother, we’re just ordinary crew members; we don’t know anything!”


    Charlie paid no attention to their pleas and demanded, “Who is the captain?” Everyone quickly pointed to one individual.


    The captain, shaking with fear, raised his hand and said, “Big brother, I am the captain.”


    Charlie nodded coldly andmanded, “Turn the boat around and shut off the engine!”


    “Yes, brother,” the captain replied, not daring to argue. He swiftly instructed the first officer, “Right full rudder!” The first officerplied immediately, and they began steering the boat back towards Charlie’s vessel.


    Afterward, Charlie’s voice cut through the air, “Everyone, put your hands on your heads and line up on the deck, then climb onto the other ship!”


    Given the grim circumstances and the loss of so many lives, the crew dared not defy Charlie. They obediently raised their hands and filed out of the cockpit. Led by the captain, they climbed over the railings and cautiously made their way onto the deck of the adjacent ship.


    Xion remained frozen in ce, unable to move. Fortunately, Charlie’s aura provided her with some protection, keeping her from immediate danger.


    At that moment, Charlie brought the captain over to Xion and asked, “Tell me, why did that guy shoot the beautiful woman beside me with a crossbow?” The captain’s face showed his inner conflict as he replied, “I have no idea; perhaps it was just a lucky shot?”


    Charlie scoffed, “A lucky shot? The first arrow was aimed directly at my temple, almost without deviation. How could the second arrow possibly be a mistake?”<fn4198> ?? ??? ???? ?? ???? ???? ???????s, ????s? ??s?? find{n}ovel</fn4198>


    Though Xion remained silent, she was eager to learn the truth.


    The captain quickly responded, “Big brother, I truly don’t know what happened. I was just following orders to set sail; I’m unaware of anything else.”


    Charlie nodded, “So you don’t know, huh? Very well, then it’s time for you to feed the sharks!”


    With that, Charlie seized the captain by the cor, lifting him off the ground, leaving his legs dangling in the air.
