With the help of one of the Pirate Chiefs, things became much easier for them. Karyk and Gabriel disguised themselves again, before leaving the room with the undead Pirate Chief. They made sure to use their magic to make the Pirate Chief appear more alive, or at least how he usually looked. The Pirate Chief left the bar and entered a carriage that was always waiting for him outside. But to everyone's surprise, he didn't enter the carriage alone. He entered with two subordinates who had just returned. Many pirates looked in surprise. Generally, the Pirate Chief hated sharing the carriage, even if it was with someone important. But this time, he was doing that?
They couldn't help but wonder just what these two people did to gain the favor of their master, who was one of the three leaders under the Sea King. Gaining his favor was no different than entering the upper echelon in an instant. The Pirate Chief's approval was highly coveted among the pirates, as it brought not only status but also protection and access to valuable resources. The carriage rolled on towards the Sea King's stronghold. It was the stronghold where the Sea King stayed. However, it also had a stand hall where meetings between the three Pirate Chiefs were often called to discuss important matters. Usually, the meeting was also attended by the Sea King, but currently he wasn't on the island. The carriage traveled through the long yet narrow island, reaching the center of the Island where a grand mansion stood tall. The Mansion was protected by elite pirates. However, none of them was as strong as a pirate chief. As soon as the pirate guards saw the carriage, they opened the gates, allowing the carriage to pass through. They couldn't stop a Pirate Chief. However, looking at the carriage, they couldn't help but wonder if another meeting was going to be called today. Was something significant happening that required a meeting? The last meeting happened a long time ago, when it was decided that they were going to send some pirates to rob the ship in which the son of Border City Lord was traveling. Almost a year had passed since that moment. The Guards were sure that something big was going to happen. But even they didn't have any inkling about reality. The Carriage stopped after reaching the entrance of the Mansion. The Servants who were responsible for maintaining the mansion came out of the mansion, greeting the Pirate Chief. However, even they were surprised to see two more people stepping out of his carriage. "No need to stare at them. They are my informant who will be briefing in the meeting." The Pirate Chief exclaimed as he stepped inside the mansion, followed by Karyk and Gabriel who acted like real subordinates. It was only after they entered the meeting hall that the two of them relaxed. They took the main seats as they still had to wait for the other two to arrive. The Undead Pirate Chief had already sent them a signal to gather for a meeting, but it was given that they weren't going to be in any hurry to arrive. It was just as Karyk had expected. The other two Pirate Chiefs arrived after two hours, even though their bases were less than an hour away from the Sea King's threshold. "What did you call us here for?" One of the Pirate Chiefs entered, his eyes cold. He hated the fact that he had to travel so far when he was just enjoying with women back at his base. "I hope this is worth it." The second pirate chief also chimed in. It was only after they entered, they noticed that there were two more people in the room. "Who are they?"
"Did you forget what kind of place this is? How dare you bring insignificant people here!" Both the Pirate Chiefs were stunned as usually ordinary pirates weren't allowed here. They were even more upset since one of the two was sitting on the Sea King's seat, while the other was sitting on another main seat. Even when they had a meeting without the Sea King, none of them were allowed to sit on the Sea King's seat but this guy was sitting?
The atmosphere in the room grew tense as the two uninvited guests remained seated, unfazed by the Pirate Chiefs' astonishment. While the Pirate Chiefs were filled with confusion, they noticed that the third pirate chief wasn't before them anymore. At the next moment, they heard a clicking sound. Turning around, they noticed the Undead Pirate Chief who had closed the door behind them. "What do you think you are doing?" The two pirate chiefs had a bad feeling about this. Was it a trap? They wondered. They were preparing to pull out their swords when they felt someone appearing behind them. Hands came from behind them, closing their mouths. Meanwhile, swords stabbed their back, accurately locating their hearts. One of the Pirate Chiefs was killed by Karyk, while the other was taken down by Gabriel. And none of them could resist in time. "You are lucky to be accepted by my Lord." The Undead Pirate Chief told the dying men. ....
The Servants stood outside the mansion, wondering what the meeting was about. As long as the meeting was taking place, none of them were allowed to enter the mansion. To their surprise, within half an hour, the three Pirate Chiefs came out, making it the shortest meeting in history. The three Pirate Chiefs told the Servants that they were going to be staying in the mansion for the time being. They told the Servants that they didn't need to wait outside. They could enter and continue their world. They also told them to start preparing food for a grand feast.
After issuing their commands, they went back to the mansion, leaving all the servants stunned. The servants looked at each other, wondering what was happening. Although the Pirate Chiefs were allowed to have meetings at the mansion, they couldn't stay here since this mansion belonged to the Sea King. "Is this... A betrayal?" One of them wondered out loud.
