Chapter 626: Pirates Multiply! Wave After Wave! Luo Feng Continues to Pay!

After the pirates made their departure, Luo Feng found himself tracking the shifting positions of the treasure markers.

They moved southeast.

Roughly two hours passed…

The treasure markers halted at a certain location. Luo Feng made a mental note of this point.

Checking the time, he realized it was already afternoon.

“Does the host seem upset? He’s been standing there, lost in thought, just gazing at the direction the pirates took off in!”

“He’s out of options, really. Even if he’s upset, what can he do?”

“He should abandon this voyage and head home. Land, home, anywhere is safer than here!”

“That’s a certainty. If he were at home, safety wouldn’t be an issue!”

The consensus was that Luo Feng must be seething, his mood understandably low.

However, Luo Feng was merely studying the direction of their departure, pinpointing their location.

Once the location was confirmed, he planned to embark tonight.

To the minor pirates, if their demands were modest, he could spare them a million as an act of charity. Let them carry on with their lives. But if they exhibited greed, that was something he would not tolerate. Luo Feng would not appease them.

Given their small numbers, Luo Feng was capable of resisting, could easily overcome them, dispatching them to their maker. But he refrained. Naturally, he was biding his time for this moment.

If they dared to demand such an outrageous sum, they must be prepared to pay the price for their actions.

After all, they couldn’t fault him for abandoning the code of honor among warriors.

Just as he was about to retreat to his cabin to prepare, the captain dashed over in a state of panic, blurting out, “Boss, the pirates… the pirates are on their way!

“What pirates?” Luo Feng queried, puzzled.

“Just now, some pirates reached out to us, demanding a hundred million or threatening to bombard our ship!”

Luo Feng’s eyelids twitched.

These men were indeed audacious. Did they always pick on the perceived weak?

He realized that his swift compliance in giving money earlier had only fueled the other pirates’ greed.

After all, the vast ocean was teeming with more than just one wave of pirates.

Had there been no live pirate broadcasts, it would have been fine. But with live broadcasts, the spectacle of pirate robberies was broadcast live. Witnessing this, other pirates were bound to swoop in for their share.

Predictably, more would follow.

“What did they say exactly?”

Luo Feng queried.

“They told us to sail thirty nautical miles west and halt there!”

“Alright, inform them I’ll be there tomorrow!”

“Boss, you…”

“It’s alright, just relay my message to them. If they’re only after money, we’ll give it to them!” Luo Feng chuckled lightly, his tone nonchalant.

The captain could only respond with a resigned smile, nod, and then attend to his duties.

“Damn, the host seems to have terrible luck, doesn’t he? How come he’s being targeted for robbery again?”

“Exactly, the blasted pirates in the Indian Ocean, why are there so many?

“I’m flabbergasted, damn it!”

“Has the host ever been dealt a bad hand? Can he really endure this?”

Everyone was livid. If it happened once, it was tolerable, but the incidents were recurring!

Were they trying to drive him to his wit’s end?

From the looks of it, they seemed intent on robbing the host clean.

Once this wave passed, would the next wave promptly follow?

They didn’t have to wait long. About half an hour later, the captain found them, “Boss, another group of pirates has contacted us!”

“Right, give them the money!”

By seven in the evening, the darkness had settled. By now, Luo Feng had been contacted by over a dozen pirate groups, each demanding money.

While the sum they demanded wasn’t enormous—merely a hundred million —the sheer number of requests was overwhelming. Eleven groups in total, adding up to a whopping 1.1 billion.

Luo Feng’s expression remained impassive. He instructed the captain to respond to these pirates, assuring them of payment, but requesting them to wait—he intended to deal with them one by one.

The pirates were understanding and patient.

At first glance, they appeared like friendly pirates with a certain camaraderie, far from the image of ruthless robbers.

However, the international online community was already in an uproar.

Luo Feng had run into a swarm of pirates in the Indian Ocean, with the cumulative toll fee soaring to 1.1 billion.

The internet was awash with vitriol, cries for someone to annihilate them resonating across platforms.

But there was no response.

After all, this was international waters. Who would undertake such a thankless task?

Since they hadn’t encroached upon anyone’s territorial waters, how could they be apprehended?

Luo Feng was already prepared to end the live broadcast. With a creak, he pushed open the door, and simultaneously, a nearby door swung open—it was the beautiful Lin making her appearance.

Lin Yueting cast a glance at him, noting Luo Feng fully armed as if ready to venture out. She asked curiously, “Aren’t you going to sleep?”

“I’m stepping out for a bit!”

“Huh?”

Lin Yueting expressed surprise, “This is the sea. Where are you heading?”

Grasping his Jungle Blade and a bow and a quiver of arrow, Luo Feng grinned and said, “Of course, to play the role of a pirate for a bit!”

Great Beauty Lin was taken aback for a few seconds, then quickly composed herself.. Far from panic, her beautiful eyes sparkled slightly, “Can I come too?”
