Chapter 435 The Shameless Deserter

’Creak! creak! creak! creak’ creak!’

The floor continuously creaked loudly with every passing second.

And soon, the wooden door was finally pushed wide open.

Everyone peeped towards the door in silence, while waiting for their pursuers to step in.

The door was opened for a full minute before some of the soldiers came in.

As Ian and his team walked in carefully, until they were at the center of the room.

And before they knew it, they heard someone yell out loudly.

"Now!"

"Yaaaaahhhhhh!"

Enemies fell from the ceiling with knives in their mouths, while others jumped up from behind barrels and other objects in the room.

Immediately, Ian sprung into action in a flash.

’Bang! Bang!’

Ian quickly took out 2 men, who were running towards him like crazy while raising their swords at him.

And by the time he took them out, another man swung a hammer towards his waist.

’Swush!’

He quickly jumped ’Van Damme style’, as he did a perfect split in the air..... before using his guns to shoot 2 other men again.

’Bang! Bang!’

The hammer-guy... seeing that he missed, decided to send another swing of his hammer towards Ian’s face.

’Swush!’

’Swush!’

’Swush!’

’Swush!’

He continuously swung the hammer multiple times..... and every time, Ian would strategically dodge his attacks.

And before the hammer guy knew it, he had accidentally taken out many of his comrades, rather than Ian.

He was raging with fury with the realization that someone had played him like a flute.

He looked at Ian as if wanting to chew his bones, before giving a full hammer swing towards Ian’s shoulders instead.

Ian smirked and quickly ducked again.

It this time, once the hammer had passed over his head... he quickly got up and held the man’s hands tightly.

Then he took out his knife and stabbed the man at different points all across his left arm.

’Tchouck! Tchouck! Tchouck!’

"Does anyone know where he is?"

Immediately, many people shook their heads and pointed towards the direction where they saw him hide in last.

Since their Captain didn’t Care for them, then why should they care for him as well?

The Captain who was still in hiding, couldn’t help but curse these backstabbers in his heart.

Ian signalled for his men to get the Captain.... and soon, the Captain was brought in and told to kneel before his crewmen.

"As a leader, it is your duty to look after your underlings.

Right from the deck, I had always had my eyes on you!" Ian said, while slowly circling the kneeling Captain.

"When you first realized that there might be a threat, not only did you push and kick your comrades away just to get to safety..... but you also shut the door on many of them, leaving them out there to fend for themselves.

And now you did the same again, by abandoning your underlings in battle.

Let me guess..... you thought that we would kill everyone, hence leaving no one to tell on your exact location.

But if one really analyses everything..... aren’t you the main cause for today’s deaths?

Before the battle, I had told you to surrender, so as to keep everyone alive.

But your ego got the best of you, and you caused the death of many of your comrades.

Again... I’m pretty sure that this attack plan was your idea as well."

"_"

Hearing Ian’s words, many of the crewmen that survived..... immediately looked at their Captain, as if he were their most hated enemy of all.

’It was all his fault’, they thought.

"Apologize to your men!" Ian commanded.

And immediately the Captain’s face became distorted.

Why should he apologize to his underlings?

It was their duty to die for him, so why should he do that?

But looking at Ian’s stern gaze, he decided to do it anyway.

Anything for survival.

".....Sorry...."

"Louder!"

"Sorry!"

"Louder!!"

"I’m sorry!!!"

"Louder!"
