By this time, Chen Xiao had already thrown away the heavy ship door, which directly smashed to death a ruthless bandit. These bandits had never seen such a brave man before.
Moreover, Chen Xiao moved among the ruthless bandits like a butterfly. His teleportation ability made him appear like a ghost. No one could even touch a scrap of his clothing before being sent flying by a single punch.
Once inside the cockpit, the people inside tried to hold their ground, but Chen Xiao kicked the door open and rushed in.
The thugs inside immediately went berserk. One of them took the lead, threw down his gun, knelt on the ground, raised his hands and covered his head, shouting, "We surrender! We surrender!!"
At first, these thugs didn't speak Chinese or English, so Chen Xiao couldn't understand them. But later, seeing the remaining men drop their guns, kneel down, and bury their heads in their hands, Chen Xiao understood what they meant.
The numerous crew members who rushed in from behind had already pounced on them, punching and kicking, and quickly subdued the remaining few ruthless bandits.
But... there were no other enemies in the cockpit!
The two men in top hats, along with the big-headed man and the others, had all vanished!
Chen Xiao had initially expected a tough battle, but things went surprisingly smoothly! For someone with superpowers like himself, dealing with these armed men wasn't actually that difficult. What he hadn't anticipated was that the superpowered enemies would all leave on their own?
After rushing in, Nie Feng immediately went to the control panel and busied himself with something nervously. But after a short while, he turned around, his face ashen: "They...they destroyed the control system..."
On the deck of the ship, the rope ladder had already been lowered. Big Head listened to the direction of the bridge in the distance behind him. The gunfire had stopped. He sighed and laughed, "Looks like those guys are finished. Perfect. They were just a bunch of mercenaries anyway. Now that they're all dead, we don't have to pay the remaining balance."
He then looked at the two men in top hats beside him and said, "Let's go, let's get on the small boat and go back to the ship."
Just below the rope ladder, a motorboat could be heard below the boat. The two men in top hats snorted and were about to get off when suddenly, Big Head's expression changed: "Who goes there!" He abruptly turned around and looked to his left!
The fence on the left was originally empty, but as the big head turned around, a person suddenly emerged from behind the fence!
This was a middle-aged woman with an ordinary appearance, rough hands and feet, and a shrewd expression typical of people from small towns. She walked over with a smirk, her hands in her pockets.
Big Head's expression turned serious: "Who is it!"
"Can't you guess who I am?" the middle-aged woman said disdainfully. "I remember seeing you once, and you also visited our young lady, didn't you?"
"Your young lady?" Big Head stared intently at the woman for a few more moments, then his expression suddenly changed drastically!
"That's right... In the world of supernatural abilities, everyone dreams of meeting our young lady, but very few actually get the chance. So, I remember everyone who has seen her." The woman, who looked like a peasant woman, looked at the large head: "I remember you, a year and a half ago, right?"
"No, that's right..." Big Head answered involuntarily, but then his expression changed again: "You! How did you get here? Could it be..."
"Hmph, what are you doing here, or are you trying to sink this ship or something... whatever it is, we don't care, and we don't want to care. But... our young lady is on this ship right now! So I have no choice but to step in!"
After his expression changed several times, Big Head suddenly showed a hint of excitement, and his voice even trembled slightly: "Is...Is the Venerable Master also on this ship? May I...may I see her?"
"Hmph." The peasant woman snorted, glancing sideways at the large head. "Don't you know our young lady's rules? You can only see her once! You've already seen her, so if you want to see her again, forget it!"
Chapter 151 [Her?]
Seeing the big-headed man's face turn extremely pale, and noticing the strange expressions on the faces of the two men in top hats beside him, who didn't recognize the peasant woman, they couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"
"It's nothing, just asking you to delay for a while. Our young lady said that we don't want to get involved in other people's business, but we also don't want to get involved. As for trouble... the less trouble the better. Well, that last sentence is my own opinion, isn't that the truth?" The peasant woman looked coldly at the two brothers in top hats.
The two men in top hats looked somewhat displeased, and the man on the left said coldly, "And who do you think you are? You think you can just delay things like that?"
As he spoke, he casually waved his hand, and a ball of ice and snow instantly appeared in his hand. His eyes were full of murderous intent as he stared at the peasant woman. With his nature of treating human life as worthless, he would probably raise his hand and kill this eyesore in front of him.
Fortunately, when the big-headed man saw his companion about to make a move, his expression suddenly changed to one of shock. He immediately stepped in front of him and forcefully pressed down the top-hatted man's hand.
"You?" The man in the top hat on the left frowned, about to say something.
Snap!
Without hesitation, the big-headed man slapped him across the face! The slap was truly forceful and unmistakable; five red, swollen finger marks immediately appeared on the top-hatted man's cheek. The slap stunned him; after a moment of shock, a look of furious rage flashed across his face: "You!"
"Shut up! I'm in charge of this operation! If you don't want to be punished by the organization, shut your mouth!" Big Head snapped quickly.
The men in top hats seemed extremely afraid of the "organization's punishment." Although the slap made them both furious, they finally gritted their teeth and shut their mouths, their eyes filled with resentment as they stared at the big head.
The peasant woman laughed. When she laughed, she squinted her eyes, looked at the two brothers in top hats, then at their large heads, and finally smiled and said, "Not bad, you know what's good for you."
"Yes!" The big-headed man's face had already changed to a respectful expression. His already fat face was now plastered with a smile, and he said politely, "Even if our esteemed master were on the ship, or even if it were just you here, we wouldn't dare to be disrespectful!"
"Haha!" The peasant woman laughed. "Alright, in that case, let's just let bygones be bygones for those two scoundrels' rudeness to me. I'm too lazy to bother with these kids."
With that, she turned to leave, but after a couple of steps she turned back: "Remember. An hour's delay is enough. As for the rest, we don't care! If our young lady loses even half a hair... I'll throw all of you into the sea to feed the fish!"
Seeing the woman swagger away, the man in the top hat stared intently at the big-headed man: "What did you mean just now?!"
"Shut up!" The moment the woman left, the respectful expression on the big-headed man's face vanished instantly. His eyes flashed with anger as he glanced at the two men in top hats and sneered, "You two idiots! I slapped you just now, but I saved your life! Do you even know that?!"
The two brothers in top hats were both stunned for a moment, then exchanged a glance. The older brother, his face still red and swollen, asked unwillingly, "Who is this woman? Why do you seem so terrified of her?"
"Ha!" The big-headed man laughed instead of getting angry. "Afraid? So what if you're afraid! In this world, how many people who know her identity aren't afraid of her! Hmph! Just now, it was only because the two of you didn't know her identity that you dared to attack her! If you knew who she was, I'm afraid even if you had the guts, you wouldn't dare to..."
The younger brother of the man in the top hat, the one who knew self-harm techniques, was rather gloomy. He slowly asked, "Who exactly is she? What kind of 'Miss' is she talking about?"
Big Head, however, was pale, as if the fear in his heart had not yet dissipated. He lowered his voice, his tone hoarse: "Who is she? Hmph... You two are blind! I'll only tell you two things, and you'll probably know who she is! More than sixty years ago, in that bloody battle in Egypt, the club sent out four Flower Cards, intending to take her down. In that battle in Egypt, two of the club's Flower Cards were killed, two were wounded, and sixteen elite members were also killed! In the end, she swaggered out of Egypt! And then there's the once-sensational Rhodesi..." The case involving Aya! The mastermind behind it all was the Service Agency! The Service Agency didn't dare to come forward themselves, but secretly issued a bounty, which attracted more than ten of the world's top mercenaries specializing in supernatural abilities, along with six of the most reputable mercenary groups specializing in supernatural abilities! All of them wanted to take her down! And the result? I think you all know what happened, right? Ten of the world's top-ranked mercenary groups were either dead or seriously injured; the two survivors were turned into a madman and a cripple! After that incident, the rankings of mercenary organizations within the International Supernatural Abilities Alliance were almost completely reshuffled!!
Upon hearing "the Rhodesia massacre," the two brothers in top hats, whose faces had been grim, instantly paled, all color draining from their skin! The elder brother in the top hat couldn't help but gasp: "She...could she be...?"
"Shut up!"
Big Head shuddered, his eyes sharp: "Don't mention her name! Mentioning her name will bring bad luck! Damn it! How could I run into this killing machine on this ship!"
As he spoke, he glanced at the two brothers, and suddenly a hint of mockery appeared in his tone: "You guys are incredibly lucky! You actually dared to lay a hand on her? It's only because it's now. If it were more than ten years ago, based on what you just did, I'm afraid this whole sea around here would have been stained red with blood!"
Both brothers were pale as death. The older brother, the one in the top hat, gritted his teeth and asked, "What do we do now?"
"What else can we do? Delay it for an hour!" Big Head smiled bitterly. "Even if she asked us to abandon the operation immediately, let alone delay it for an hour, I would have no choice but to obey. I suppose even if we go back, as long as the higher-ups know that she was the one who showed up, they won't hold us responsible for the mission's failure."
