Yandel Luwer leaped up more than 300 feet with such force that the cruise ship rocked violently.
If such a force from his legs were to land on a person, it would probably be able to crush a person into pieces with a single kick, leaving nothing behind.
âWhat God-slaying Command? This is clearly just an ordinary distress signal. Yandel is too ruthless in his actionsâ
Xander Zoran lay on the deck and looked toward Yandel, who was already standing on the aircraft carrier. He gnashed his teeth with a reproachful expression and retorted angrily, âHow dare you beat me like this! You twisted my ear as well! When I have the chance. Iâll twist your daughterâs ear too!â
When Xander spoke, it aggravated his wounds, making him grit his teeth in pain.
âForget it. Xany, Believe it or not, if you dare to touch Yandelâs daughter, you will be tied up tightly and thrown into the sea the next day.â
An expert wearing the uniform of the Shadow Knight mercenary group walked over and pulled Xander up from the ground. He said. âIn reality, Yandel is actually very concerned about you.
The moment he saw the signal flare, he thought that you were in danger and gathered a large number of troops to rescue you.
âWho would have thought that you were actually fine? If it were me, I would beat you up too.
âLionel, youâre speaking up for him too?â Xander almost cried.
The man in front of Xander was called Lionel Zeigler, and he was Xanderâs immediate superior. He wielded quite a lot of authority in the Shadow Knight mercenary group.
âIâm not speaking up for Yandel. Iâm saying you deserved it!â
Lionel glared at him and said, âSince youâre still on vacation leave, I wonât bring you back to the team. Besides, we just received orders to wipe out some marine piracy gangs. We donât have time to play with you.
Tell me. How much diesel fuel do you need?â
âFull tankâ Xander said.
Lionel glared at him. âXany, youâre quite greedy, arenât you? Do you know how much it costs to fill up this Swan Cruise Ship to the brim?â
Xander shook his head.
âIâve just checked. This cruise ship is very advanced. The diesel fuel it used is also very high-grade.
For a full tank, the cost is 200 thousand dollars,â said Lionel âIt costs so much?â Xander was speechless.
âConsider yourself lucky. We also brought a compatible fuel for this voyage. Iâll fill it up for you now, but 200 thousand dollars will be deducted from your bonus, Lionel said calmly.
With that, Lionel gestured with his hand, signaling to the mercenaries on the aircraft carrier to initiate a ship-to-ship fuel transfer operation for the Swan Cruise ship.
Xander was utterly speechless.
Fuck!
Tm expected to pay for this?â Xander thought.
Lionel lit two cigarettes and kept one for himself. He handed the other to Xander and said, âOur new stealth fighter jet has been upgraded again. Itâs up there now. Do you want to fly it?â
âAre they the two fighter jets that escorted the Sovereign away? The one with a black dragon motif on the fuselage?â Xanderâs two eyes lit up.
The Shadow Knight mercenary group invested a lot of money into researching combat equipment and developed many shockingly powerful weapons.
The new stealth fighter jet was one of them.
When Haylan returned to his home country, two of his followers flew the new stealth fighters to escort him all the way home.
This was a fighter jet that everyone in the Shadow Knight mercenary group wanted to fly!
Lionel nodded and said, âNow that the specifications of the fighter jet have been upgraded after investing billions of dollars, weâve finally built another fighter jet. Itâs now on the flight deck.
âOther than rescuing you, our main purpose for this voyage is to locate some ignorant pirates to test the power of the fighter jet!â
âI want to see it!â
Xander tossed his cigarette away and waved madly at the flight deck of the aircraft carrier, clamoring excitedly. âQuick, give me a lift. I want to go up.â
âEr⦠Can L. can I go up and take a look?â Princess Carina suddenly asked.
âHuh Xander was astounded.
âThe Shadow Knight mercenary group rules the world! You guys are the worldâs number one mercenary group. I want to see how powerful you are, Princess Carina said.
âMay I ask who are you?â Lionel was very baffled.
âPrincess Carina of the Arctodus Kingdom, Xander answered.
âSure. If you want to see it, then go ahead. Anyway, this fighter jet isnât a secret. Weâre going to announce our fighter jet technology to the world soon.â
Lionel smiled, then looked at everyone and asked, âIs there anyone else who wants to take a look?â
Lionel had done a quick check earlier.
The people here were all rich. They were worth at least millions of dollars, and the richest among them were worth almost a hundred billion dollars.
These people were very likely potential customers of the Shadow Knight mercenary group!
In any case, it would take some time to refuel the cruise ship. Instead of sitting around, it was better to invite these rich tycoons to have a look at their mercenary groupâs capability. There would be more opportunities to cooperate in the future.
âCan⦠can we go and take a look too? Sharvin Lewtonâs face was filled with disbelief.
Gierczak, Josef, and the others were also full of anticipation.
They had only heard of the prestige of the Shadow Knight mercenary group, but they had never truly witnessed the might of the Shadow Knight mercenary group.
If given the chance, they really wanted to witness the strength of the Shadow Knight mercenary group.
âSure.â
Lionelâs expression was calm as he said. âThose who wish to visit the Shadow Knightâs Dark Draco aircraft carrier can queue up behind Xander. We will provide a one-off free tour.â
Gierczak, Sharvin, and Josef exchanged glances with one another.
Finally, Gierczak gritted his teeth and stood behind Xander.
After Gierczak made the first move, many people present also queued up. Soon, there was a long queue of people.
When he saw this sight, Haylan was utterly speechless.
This fellow Lionel was trying to pull in more business again!
In the past, Lionel would always pull the same trick. Every time he met some rich people, he would invite them to board the vessel for a tour or visit the groupâs military base.
Within the Shadow Knight mercenary group, Lionelâs nickname was, âFlaunting Maniac!â
Whenever new equipment or new bases appeared on the groupâs premises, Lionel would bring customers to visit and show off at the first available opportunity!
Ten minutes later, the interested parties had all queued up.
There were a hundred people who queued up for the tour.
Lionel was wildly overjoyed to see so many rich people queuing up.
If so many rich people became the groupâs customers, how much money would the Shadow Knight mercenary group carn?
Lionel was elated, but his expression did not change. He shouted, âYou guys His voice rang out like a peal of thunder, full of vigor!
Clack! Clack! Clack!
up there! Lower the sea boarding staircase!â
After Lionel hollered, the sea boarding staircase gradually descended diagonally from the aircraft carrier on the port side and extended all the way to the weather deck of the Swan Cruise ship.
At the bottom of the stairs, a series of grappling hooks resembling a pair of dragon claws extended out. They gripped the steel plates of the deck and locked the staircase securely into place. The staircase was extremely stable.
The stairs were sloping at a 45-degree angle. It was spacious enough to accommodate three people walking side by side, and it was quite effortless to ascend the stairs.
Everyone was shocked.
Such a staircase was more spacious than the escalators in many supermarkets, and it rose more than 300 feet upwards.
This staircase alone, which could be raised and lowered, probably cost a fortune to construct.
âIâll go up first. I want to fly the fighter jer!â
Xander was extremely excited. He was the first to rush up the stairs in a mad dash toward the flight deck of the aircraft carrier.
Lionel turned to look at Gierczak and the rest. He smiled and said, âLadies and gentlemen, this way please.â
With that, he also walked up the sea boarding staircase.
Gierczak, Princess Carina, Josef, and the rest hurriedly followed.
âHaylan, letâs go take a look too.â Reign also grabbed Haylanâs hand and pulled him up the staircase.
A whole group of people climbed the staircase as if they were scaling a mountain!
Before long, they arrived at the flight deck of the groupâs Dark Draco aircraft carrier more than 320 feet above the sea surface.
What these rich people saw made their eyes widen abruptly, their expressions full of shock.
Fighter jets!
There were more than a hundred fighter jets chocked and chained on both sides of the flight deck runway. They were parked close to each other and presented a spectacular sight.
One of the fighter jets with a black dragon insignia on it was even more outstanding. It was very impressive and attracted everyoneâs attention immediately.
Everyone who saw this scene became dumbstruck!
