Chapter 335 Who gave you the courage?
"I'm telling you, I've committed more robberies than you could ever imagine!"
"Whether you're hiding money or not, one glance from me, and I know."
After a pause, the pirate leader's face was filled with a deep and fierce grimace.
"One more move, and all of you will die!"
At the sound of the pirate leader's murderous words, every person present couldn't help but shiver, looking at the pirate leader with eyes full of fear.
The pirate leader was quite pleased with the reactions of everyone present, lifting the list in his hands and beginning to speak.
"Wang Bing!"
"Sun Yuhong!"
...
One by one, he called out more than a dozen names, and each person handed over all of their wealth in sincere fear and trepidation.
Not only that, but after handing over their wealth, they were grateful to the pirates!
After all, those who could come to Demon Dragon Island were generally people wrapped in wealth.
In their view, money was often less important than their own lives.
If the money was gone, it could be earned again, but if life was gone, then everything was gone!
"Next, Ye Ling!"
When the pirate leader called out that name, not a single person stood up.
"Ye Ling!"
When the pirate leader repeated the name, still no one responded!
Seeing this, the pirate leader's brow furrowed involuntarily, as if he had thought of something, and then slowly relaxed.
"Good, very good, extremely good!"
The pirate leader said 'good' three times, clearly indicating the extent of his anger.
"Since no one chooses to stand up for this Ye Ling, then all of you will go down with him!"
No sooner had the words left his mouth, than anger filled the faces of everyone present, as they began to shout frantically on the spot.
"Ye Ling, hurry up and come out!"
"Ye Ling, if you're a man, step out quickly! Don't be like a coward!"
"If you want to die, do it yourself! Don't drag us into it!"
Everyone present glared and spoke, expressing their dissatisfaction with Ye Ling.
"Bang!"
A gunshot rang out, and suddenly the place fell silent.
The pirate leader fired a shot into the air, his gaze coldly sweeping over the crowd as he spoke word by word.
"Machine gunner, get ready!"
Upon hearing this, Li Man's beautiful face showed a trace of panic, and she stepped lightly towards the pirate leader.
In a soft voice, she said, "Brother, can you spare Ye Ling's life?"
"Hmm?"
Hearing Li Man's words, not only did the pirate leader's rage not subside, it intensified, almost materializing into something tangible.
His eyes nearly spewed flames as he stared at Li Man and said, word by word.
"You little bitch, actually pleading for a man!"
"You deserve to die!"
With that, the infuriated pirate leader drew a pistol and aimed it at Li Man.
The crowd, seeing the unpredictable pirate leader, felt panic and unease.
Just a moment ago, he was all smiles, and the next, he was consumed by rage.
Is this the magic power of being the boss?
"Heh, what kind of skill is it to strike a girl?"
A scoffing voice, laden with undisguised mockery, suddenly echoed in everyone's ears.
"Thud, thud, thud!"
Heavy footsteps came from the staircase, and the crowd followed the sound, only to see two slender figures appearing before everyone.
It was none other than Ye Ling and Ye Jiu!
When the pirate leader saw Ye Ling, his eyes unconsciously narrowed, watching them unblinkingly.
His mouth curved into a bloodthirsty smirk, "Are you Ye Ling?"
Ye Ling stepped forward, nodding his head.
"If there isn't a second Ye Ling here, then it must be me!"
"Heh, I thought you'd be like a turtle, hiding and cowering, only able to rely on a woman's support," sneered the pirate leader.
"Never would I have imagined you daring to show up!"
"Who gave you the courage?"
The last sentence almost roared from the pirate leader's mouth!
Ye Ling's face remained expressionless, his gaze calm and untroubled, without a ripple.
He held an attitude that completely disregarded the pirate leader.
This demeanor from Ye Ling further fueled the pirate leader's anger.
Ye Ling, without so much as glancing at him, turned his head towards Li Man and said.
"Are you all right?"
Li Man's peach blossom eyes fixed on Ye Ling, and then her beautiful eyes slowly misted with water.
Her pitiful appearance made the men present involuntarily swallow, feeling a sudden surge of protective instinct.
