Chapter 53 Things are revealed, the fearful Asaq!
🕑 Added 2025-04-20 12:36:18 +0000 UTCBefore long, Kronos was on the deck of the ship.
At that moment, Kronos’s mind suddenly heard a system prompt.
【Ding! Congratulations to the Host for upgrading their prestige, gaining +20 prestige!】
……
【Ding! Congratulations on the promotion of Host prestige, gaining +10 prestige!】
【Prestige】: 907
Kronos glanced at his own prestige value.
A faint smile appeared on his face.
"This time, I gained 200 prestige?"
His eyes turned towards the direction of the tavern.
Kronos knew that the reason for gaining this prestige was likely the rumor about the bandit being killed.
On the deck at this time, it wasn’t just Kronos.
Konan, Wujou Satoru, Guoyuanyi, Tiandao Payne, and the Animal Path were all gathered here with him, standing on deck.
The handymen who tried to escape were swiftly dealt with by the Beast Path Payne.
The crew knew this as well.
Soon, under the watchful eyes of the entire crew, four figures appeared on the road leading to the coast.
Each of them was carrying a huge burden, walking towards the ship unhurriedly.
At this moment, one of the four noticed the situation on the deck.
Seeing the members of the Kamui Pirates, they all stared at them.
The man’s heart immediately sank, and he felt a bad omen.
“Assac! Assac! Look at the ship!”
“Something’s wrong!”
Hearing his companion’s warning, Asaq quickly looked in the direction of the ship.
As soon as he looked up, he saw Kronos and the others watching them.
This sudden sight almost scared Asaq out of his wits.
“Ship... The Captain and the others...”
At this point, Asaq stuttered, unable to speak clearly.
Another companion beside him spoke up.
“Could it be that we’re in trouble like Flynn?”
This sentence seemed to resonate with the others.
The other two companions immediately fell into a panic.
“The Captain and the others are waiting there... Do you think they’re planning to take revenge on us?”
“Damn it! I knew we should have run with Flynn, those guys are going to kill us!”
“It’s over! It’s over! We’re done for now!”
The three panicked, but Asaq remained silent.
After a while, he gritted his teeth and spoke in a low voice.
“Don’t talk!”
“The Captain and the others shouldn’t know about Flynn and the others yet!”
“We’re just returning now. They should think Flynn and the others are behind us.”
“Also, even if the Captain and the others know, it won’t change anything now!”
“It’s impossible to run away.”
“The only chance we have of surviving is to return honestly!”
“Besides, we haven’t done anything to harm the Captain. I believe the Captain won’t make things difficult for us!”
Upon hearing Asaq’s words, one of the companions immediately questioned him.
“Are you sure?!”
However, Asaq didn’t answer.
Instead, he tightened the package on his back and strode towards the ship.
Clearly, he wasn’t sure if the Captain would punish them or not.
But right now, there was no other option but to return.
Escape?
Impossible!
With their strength, trying to escape under the Captain’s watch was as difficult as reaching the sky!
Now, all they could do was hope that the Captain and the others didn’t know about Flynn and the others’ escape.
Seeing that Asaq was determined to return, the remaining three had no choice but to grit their teeth and follow him.
“Assac, wait for me!”
Soon, the four of them arrived at the base of the ship.
Asaq did not rush to board the ship, but instead stood on the coast and shouted respectfully.
“Captain!”
Kronos heard the call but did not respond immediately.
Instead, he looked at Asaq with interest.
For a while, the surroundings fell silent.
The four of Asaq held their breath, feeling uneasy in their hearts.
After a moment, Kronos spoke.
“I’m a little curious. With such a good opportunity, why didn’t you run with those people?”
“Coming back will only bring more suffering, won’t it?”
As soon as Kronos spoke, Asaq’s pupils constricted sharply.
A terrified expression appeared on his face!
‘The Captain... he already knew?!’
‘And from the Captain’s tone, it seems he knew from the beginning that Flynn and the others were planning to escape!’
Thinking about it, Asaq’s pupils began to tremble violently.
If the Captain had known from the start, but hadn’t warned them, it meant that the Captain had already lost trust in his own crew.
And made a plan expecting that these people wouldn’t return.
If that was the case…
Then, if they didn’t handle things properly this time… they might really die!
