Chapter 560: Chapter 560: Qin Yuru’s Choice_1
"You’re not pirates! Who are you?" the middle-aged man’s face darkened as he shouted directly.
"Kill them, kill everyone except Yamaguchi Momoe!" the pirate leader bellowed, and the pirates on their ship started pulling the triggers of their submachine guns, a hail of bullets coming forth and hitting the deck. Bullets whizzed around, and in just a moment, several men in black fell to the ground.
"Protect the young lady!" the middle-aged man also exclaimed, brandishing a katana in his hand, fending off the bullets.
At this time, although the men in black all had firearms, they were vastly inferior compared to the pirates’ arms and stood no chance of defending against them. Moreover, there was nowhere to hide on the deck; one by one, they were riddled with bullets, their blood dyeing the deck red.
Ye Luo pulled Yamaguchi Momoe and dashed into the cabin, and Mingyue also ran into the cabin.
"Thank you!"
Yamaguchi Momoe looked at Ye Luo with gratitude.
"You two stay here." Ye Luo said, and then his figure dashed out.
At this time, a fierce battle had begun on the cruise ship’s deck, where groups of pirates and Yamaguchi Momoe’s guards were shooting at each other.
However, because of the issues with manpower and firearms, the losses were huge on Yamaguchi Momoe’s side. Apart from that highly-skilled middle-aged man,
only three or four people were still holding on; the rest had been killed. Meanwhile, the pirates, still more than a dozen strong, wielded submachine guns, firing wildly.
Ye Luo charged out, his body surging with Nine Yang True Qi, blocking the bullets and exploding forward.
Boom!
Ye Luo threw a punch into the air, releasing a terrifying burst of strength, sending four or five pirates flying at once.
The middle-aged man and the one-eyed pirate leader both showed changes in their expressions, their eyes revealing shock.
In less than thirty seconds, Ye Luo had efficiently dealt with the group of pirates, and the pirate leader swung out a sharp knife, hacking towards Ye Luo.
Swish!
Ye Luo swiftly dodged, then sliced horizontally with his hand-turned-blade.
Clang!
Ye Luo’s hand-blade struck the sharp knife, emitting a dull sound, and the opponent staggered backward. Ye Luo leapt up, gathering all his strength into a punch, and struck again.
Bang!
With the punch, the opponent had no power to resist and was sent flying off the cruise ship, plummeting into the sea.
In the blink of an eye, the battle was over, and the middle-aged man looked at Ye Luo with a face full of shock.
Then Mingyue and Yamaguchi Momoe both came out, the latter looking at the scene in front of her, her always calm face showing a hint of shock as well.
"Mr. Ye, thank you. I didn’t expect you to be such a master," Yamaguchi Momoe said to Ye Luo.
"The fight isn’t over yet," Ye Luo remarked, his gaze turned towards the pirate ship, and he called out firmly, "Everyone come out."
Following Ye Luo’s words, both Yamaguchi Momoe and the middle-aged man looked towards the pirate ship, their eyes revealing a hint of surprise, and in the next second, their faces changed again.
Five men, clad in black and with only their fierce eyes showing, emerged from the pirate ship’s cabin, each holding a katana in their hands. At a glance, they were clearly ninjas from the Island Country.
Seeing that five ninjas from the Island Country had appeared on the pirate ship, Yamaguchi Momoe’s face turned somewhat unsightly. Her pupils contracted, flashing sharp lights.
"Kill!"
The five men shouted in unison, charging forward with a terrifying momentum. Aside from one at the Innate Peak Stage, the rest were all at the Innate Late Stage in strength, while the middle-aged man beside Yamaguchi Momoe was merely at the Innate Peak Stage.
If Ye Luo had not been there, it was likely that even if Yamaguchi Momoe and her men could take down the pirates, they would not be able to withstand the attack of these five. And clearly, this was not merely a simple case of piracy.
Watching the five charge towards him, Ye Luo’s eyes revealed a trace of disdain. With a tap of his foot, he soared into the air and smashed down with a punch.
A ninja swung his katana in an attempt to block Ye Luo’s punch, but the fist, unstoppable as a bamboo splitter, shattered his katana. The punch landed on his chest, crushing it open, and sent him flying off the ship into the sea.
The other four met the same fate, as the three remaining ninjas at the Innate Late Stage were all dealt with in a single move by Ye Luo.
After several moves, the last ninja at the Innate Peak Stage also had his legs smashed and arms crippled by Ye Luo and was thrown in front of Yamaguchi Momoe.
"This man may be of use to you," Ye Luo said, looking at Yamaguchi Momoe.
Yamaguchi Momoe nodded and stared at the ninja, directly asking, "Who are you? Who sent you?"
Thud!
The ninja bit off his own tongue and committed suicide, looking very determined.
However, Yamaguchi Momoe’s face turned somewhat unsightly. The middle-aged man beside her spoke, "Miss, it seems these people are not just pirates but someone disguised as pirates to target us. Moreover, the opponent is definitely a domestic power, but we don’t know who it is."
"Alright, dispose of these bodies and let’s return to the Island Country as planned," Yamaguchi Momoe said indifferently, regaining her composure quickly.
In the Capital City, within the president’s office of Qin Group, Qin Yuru sat with a heavy expression, her eyes filled with indecision.
"President, the board meeting is about to start, and Qin Tianchen and his son are already in the meeting room. What should we do now?" Xiang Tiandong looked at Qin Yuru with a somewhat anxious expression.
"You go and take care of other matters; I will handle this issue," Qin Yuru said after taking a deep breath, her tone solemn.
Once Xiang Tiandong had left the room, Qin Yuru took out her phone and dialed Ji Lingtian’s number.
"Hello, Miss Qin, is there something you need?" Ji Lingtian’s voice came from the other end of the phone, calm as ever.
"I agree to your terms," Qin Yuru stated bluntly.
"Oh, it seems Miss Qin has thought it through," Ji Lingtian’s voice carried a hint of a smile.
"But I want you to transfer that eight percent of the shares to me, and I want the four major corporations to stop all actions against the Qin Clan," Qin Yuru demanded.
"I can have them stop their actions against the Qin Clan right now. As for the eight percent of the shares, you know that businessmen always keep a card up their sleeve," Ji Lingtian said lightly.
"After our engagement is finalized, I will transfer them to you. Furthermore, I will unite the Qin Clan with Century Consortium. Together, our two conglomerates will grow even more powerful," Ji Lingtian explained, calm and collected.
"Fine, come here right now," Qin Yuru said and then hung up, her expression revealing a complex mix of emotions. Involuntarily, her hand gently stroked her stomach, her eyes flickering as she whispered to herself, "I’m sorry, I have no other choice."
