Karen did not want to die and did not have any intentions to. If the incident had not gotten too big, the Hail Cloud Alliance would not want to perish together. However, the incident of Tank City could not be covered up. She could easily imagine the consequences.

However, she didn’t dare to say it. Once she told the pirates, there would be real chaos. She couldn’t afford things to get more chaotic now.

Karen squeezed her brain dry but still couldn’t think of a solution. She didn’t care whether these pirates would die or live. All she cared about was herself.

It wasn’t that there was no solution. Not only did she have solutions, she had even thought of a few. Obviously if she could escape from this place, Karen wouldn’t want to use these solutions.

Although they were all prisoners, the rest had been lock up while the citizens of the Ice Spear City were restricted to indoors. The main people-in-charge had to be locked up in the City Hall so some of them could be dragged out and killed if needed.

Redington and s.h.i.+en Cronode were still fine. At least they had more freedom and could still eat and drink well. It was just that they couldn’t walk around as they wished and always had pirates following them. Karen clearly didn’t believe Cronode and didn’t trust him at all. It was an exchange of benefits after all.

However, she didn’t want to offend Cronode too. He might even be her final chance of survival.

The night of Ice Spear City was deathly silent. The security of the pirates was still rather stringent. Ai Xiaolu wasn’t feeling sleepy at all. However, she had no solutions at all. She was even feeling a little despair. Ai Xiaolu was a clever girl and knew clearer than anyone about the current situation. One could forget about her status of being the successor of the Ai Financial Group. Even if the president was here, no one would care. This was no longer an issue of influence as it involved the pride of the entire human population. How would they succ.u.mb to the pirates?

The patience of the pirates was likely to be limited too. Death might be terrifying but for Ai Xiaolu, the more terrifying thing was clearly not death.

Bartley had not arrived yet. This was the only hope she had. Ai Xiaolu faintly felt that w.a.n.g Zheng had done something. This was because only w.a.n.g Zheng was able to do such a thing. There wasn’t any basis or reasoning behind this feeling. However, this was the only ray of hope of Ai Xiaolu.

However, if something were to really happened to Bartley, her unique value would be gone too. Those pirates… might not kill her but worse things might happen to her.

Ai Xiaolu bit her lips. She had completely lost all ideas. The more she thought about it, the bleaker the outcome. Although she had entered the Elite Academy, she had never intended to enter the military. She just felt that Elite Academy would be more challenging and exciting. However, now…

Would w.a.n.g Zheng come and rescue her? She could only count on w.a.n.g Zheng now. At this moment, Ai Xiaolu didn’t thought of Snow Li. If there was someone coming to rescue her, he would likely be w.a.n.g Zheng.

Ai Xiaolu was surprised. Could it be that she had fallen in love with w.a.n.g Zheng?

This brat wasn’t handsome and didn’t have much money. He was at most an above average fighter. This clearly didn’t fulfil Ai Xiaolu’s idea of beauty. With w.a.n.g Zheng’s origin, he was even less likely to fit in the etiquette of the upper cla.s.s society. Moreover, he was the person whom her best friend was fond of. She would definitely fall for her.

After an unknown amount of time, Ai Xiaolu was already feeling groggy from hunger. The door had opened.

s.h.i.+en Cronode’s face revealed a bright smile. There wasn’t a day he felt so great.

In just a few hours, things had changed dramatically. Before this, Cronode was only thinking about keeping himself alive and perhaps not to be too shameful. However, the situation had changed.

Bartley had gone missing. If Bartley was around, there was practically nothing Cronode could do. With Bartley disappearing, it would basically mean that he was dead. As to how he died, it wasn’t important. Perhaps his destiny clashed with the environment of Aisbotan. The pirates were all desperate. However, that Chief of Staff, Karen, wasn’t of the same type. This guy had high education certifications and had once shone. It was just that some things happened and she got involved with the pirates by coincidence. A literate person like her had never thought of being bombed by the fleets.

Those who had studied were cleverer. When the search section that she sent out returned and confirmed the death of Bartley, Karen had to start thinking for herself.

Clearly, Hail Cloud Alliance would be thinking of solving this with the smallest loss. This would be an opportunity. If she betrayed all the other pirates, she wouldn’t need to be afraid of dying. However, what Karen wanted wasn’t just not to die but a better outcome. She hoped she could even relive under the light gloriously like before. If she had a choice, she didn’t wish to be hiding everywhere all day round.

Undoubtedly, Karen and s.h.i.+en came to an agreement easily. If this matter proceeded as planned, s.h.i.+en would definitely surprise everyone with this single feat and become the most glamorous person in the Hail Cloud Alliance.

At the thought that he could independently instigate a rebellion with the Chief of Staff among the pirate crew and destroy the entire pirate crew, s.h.i.+en was exhilarated. This would not only consolidate his position in the Cronode Family but would also allow him to s.h.i.+ne in the Elite Academy.

Karen was panicking. She had to calm the pirates. Since she had decided to do such a thing, she would naturally want to minimise the harm. The smaller the losses, the bigger her contributions! With the personal guarantee of the successor to the Cronode Family, her heroic status was almost a certain thing.

However, s.h.i.+en wanted to do another thing and he had to do it!

He had been l.u.s.ting over Snow Li and Ai Xiaolu for a long time. If it was just looks, Snow Li was undoubtedly better. However, the qualities of Ai Xiaolu were clearly better. It was especially so as she was the nemesis of the Cronode Family. s.h.i.+en’s entire body was burning with evil thoughts. He wanted to f*ck Ai Xiaolu and blame it on the pirates.

In the past, no matter how much he boasted, he knew in his heart that he was only boasting and didn’t have the chance to. He had not expected that there were only things that one couldn’t imagine but there’s nothing that couldn’t be done.

Today he would be enjoying Ai Xiaolu!

At the thought of this, s.h.i.+en could feel his body heating up. He grabbed a bottle of whisky and headed for the place where Ai Xiaolu was detained. He was drinking as he walked. Life was truly exciting!

The door had opened. Ai Xiaolu opened her eyes and her eyes were a little red. When she saw s.h.i.+en Cronode, her expression immediately turned cold.

On the other hand, s.h.i.+en Cronode was smiling. “Oh Xiaolu. I’m really happy today. You have finally landed in my hands.”

“s.h.i.+en Cronode, do you not know what is shame?” Ai Xiaolu could clearly feel the desire of the other party and was feeling a little tense in her heart.

s.h.i.+en Cronode clearly wouldn’t mislook such details. “Tsk. The great missy of the Ai Financial Group finally knows what fear is. I might as well let you know. You belong to me now. Serve me well and I might consider letting you live on.”

As he spoke, he extended his hands towards Ai Xiaolu’s face and touched her face. He wasn’t even disguising his unadorned desires.

Ai Xiaolu spat saliva out. s.h.i.+en Cronode was stunned for a while and wiped it off nonchalantly and drank another mouthful of alcohol.

Shaking his head gently, he said, “Ai Xiaolu, what should I say to you. All along, the Hail Cloud Alliance had been talking about how brilliant you were. However, that’s all you could do now. In just a while, you would be pleasing me at my crotch. Haha, I’m happy today. I might as well tell you this. I would become the big hero. As for you Ai Xiaolu, you would be r*ped to death by the pirates. Your naked body would become the headline news together with me.”
