Chapter 1725 A Very Weird Situation

1725 A Very Weird Situation

As he chased after Hye, the latter noticed that at once. "Damn! Are you trying to drag me down with you? Go the hell out of my way! Stop following me!!" he shouted, but no matter how he yelled, the sound couldn't survive in space anyway.

And he had no way to contact that pirate king, or else he'd have spammed him with tons of cruel insults and threats.

Two fast spaceships moved in the same direction, one after another as if they were mirroring each other. That attracted more fire and heat toward the two, and yet they were able to evade any incoming attack using their flying skills.

"He is good," the pirate king took this note to his heart, being more wary of Hye. Yet he never stopped chasing him, even when he noticed that Hye was flying in circles.

"Is he trying to waste time?" the pirate king thought about the reasons that would let Hye do such a move. If it was him, he'd just go straight forward towards the portal, leaving this battle and everyone behind.

"Waiting for someone? Or trying to lure more fleets here to get me killed?" he kept thinking about this deeper, yet the second possibility looked a bit weird and illogical. If Hye wanted him dead, then why did he help him in the first place?

So the pirate king was sure Hye was waiting for someone. And he grew curious about who that person was, the person who made him risk everything to wait for his arrival.

The wait didn't last much longer than three more minutes. As Hye expected, the nymph lady took much longer than she promised before.

[Sorry I'm late...]

[I will kill you, come on, let's leave this place...] Hye paused, looked towards the ship that kept tailing him in the past few minutes, [Get ready, it seems a big party is awaiting us back there]

[Then... Shall we proceed?]

[We have to] he knew she meant good, fearing that by going there they'd jump off the frying pan directly into the fire, [Anyway, I'm ready to deploy the entire fleet. Let's hope we have enough time to do it!]

[What if...]

[I hate what if... Let's just go there and we'll deal with whatever out there] Hye closed the chat, and took a last look at the dark ship of the pirate king before he started to direct his ship to fly straight towards the portal.

Seeing the ship Hye was waiting for arrived, the pirate king knew they were going to leave. He also took a long gaze towards this part of space, looked at all the ships that belonged to him and were fighting desperately for their lives, "see you later, in the afterlife," he bitterly muttered before moving after Hye, heading directly towards the portal.

The three of them moved quite fast, passed through lots of fire, and evaded tons of ships that tried to intercept their path. The nymph lady was the poorest out of the three in terms of flying her ship. And yet with the lead of Hye, a path was always opened and free of any enemy, and she was able to keep up.

*Fwoosh!*

Then the three passed through the portal and crossed to the other side. The moment they arrived there, the pirate king took something out, and without a single speck of hesitation, he closed that portal permanently.

At the same time, Hye and the nymph lady were in front of the most shocking situation, one that they both never imagined. Even the thought about it didn't even cross their minds at all.

[What the hell is going on here?!! Where is everyone?!!!]

Just as the situation around them was, the nymph lady sent this message over to Hye. The latter was feeling the same sort of shock as her, unable to fathom what was going on here.

They thought they'd appear in the middle of endless swarms of pirate fleets, or perhaps a world that was like a pirate base or something.

Instead, they appeared in the middle of nowhere, in the middle of space, and they were all alone!

There wasn't even a single ship aside from the three of them!

"Don't tell me..." A crazy thought flashed in Hye's mind, and he instantly started to grasp everything that happened. It seemed like this pirate king used and deployed all the forces he had under his control to maximise his gains from that war.

Who'd have known that things would turn south in such a way, ending up with him to throw away all the ships he had, running away empty-handed, alone and weak like this.

[Do you have any idea what's going on here?] The nymph lady didn't even think about such a crazy and unexpected coincidence that led to such a weird situation.

[Just wait here, I'll go and have a word with that pirate] Hye changed the way he addressed that pirate king to simply a pirate. He just adjusted his stand in the universe as he was sure this outlaw just lost everything and had to restart over from the rock bottom.

[What do you mean...] n(.OVelb1n

[Just remain here, I'll explain everything later on] Hye controlled his ship and approached the pirate king's ship.

The two stopped in front of each other, just hundreds of metres apart. They didn't move, didn't do anything, and didn't have any means to speak with each other.

"Come here," Hye suddenly opened the hatches of his ship and didn't do anything else. He knew his words weren't going to be heard by that pirate, and yet he knew his actions would be grasped and understood by that outlaw.

"As you invited me, I'll answer the call," the pirate king looked at his loyal and most capable followers, "stay here, don't do anything no matter what."

"But Stephen..."

"Just do it!" The pirate king called Stephen knew if he wanted to fight Hye and take him down, he'd be able to do it. But he also knew this would take a long time as Hye showed a remarkable ability before in steering the spaceship.
