Chapter 1238 Mr ckwood Is An Ordinary Pirate


    Several dayster, in Channing at the South.


    It was a weekend, so Nathan and his family dined in at a seafood restaurant that was famous for its


    large variety of delicious seafood instead of eating at home.


    Nathan ordered a steamed Humphead wrasse, prawns, crabs and m chowder, and all of them


    enjoyed the food happily.


    Everyone was in a good mood except Penny, who was staring at the seafood with a grim


    expression.


    Nathan sensed her gloominess and asked with concern, "What''s wrong?"


    Penny gave him a rueful smile and told him honestly, "Quite a few of our cargo ships to Darius have


    been hijacked and robbed by pirates one after another. They stole many goods from us, and we


    suffered a heavy loss."


    Nathan furrowed his brows. "Can''t we ask forpensation from the shipping


    Penny let out a sigh before saying, "The shippingpany suffered great losses too. They lost their


    ships, and the pirates killed all the crews on board. If we impensation from thepany,


    we''ll have to file awsuit. It will take a long time to settle the case. Both ourpany and the


    shippingpany are the victims in this case."


    "We will only be adding insult to injury if we sue the shippingpany and demandpensation. I


    don''t think we should do this," Penny said defeatedly.


    Benson, Leah, Kylie and even the five-year-old Queenie couldn''t help but angrily curse the pirates


    for being so evil.


    Nathan''s brows furrowed together. "What an arrogant pirate. Pirates usually don''t dare to rob any


    cargo ship with our national g. Why did they rob our cargo ships?"

    Penny shrugged. "I asked the shippingpany about it, and they said that the pirates of Demon''s


    Lair did it. Odysseus is the head of Demon''s Lair, also known as Mr. ckwood. He''s extremely


    vicious; he leaves no one alive every time he robs a ship."


    Mr. ckwood?


    How dare a pirate address himself as Mr. ckwood?


    There are manypetent and aplished officers in the navy, but none of them ever addresses


    themselves as this pirate does.


    These pirates even have the audacity toy their hands on the Cross Group''s cargo ships!


    This is outrageous!


    Nathan sneered, "How dare these pirates be so barbaric? I''ll send someone to get rid of themter."


    Penny, Benson and Leah were stunned at Nathan''s words.


    Is Nathan being serious about getting rid of the pirates?


    Kylie''s eyes gleamed with hope. She knew of Nathan''s identity, so she believed that this was not an


    empty promise. Nathan would surely carry out and achieve what he said.


    Queenie looked at her dad with admiration. Her little face turned red out of excitement as she


    pped her hands and said, "Yes! Papa is awesome! Papa is going to get rid of those bad pirates!"


    Penny smiled dryly at her daughter. "Silly girl. Papa has retired from the army. How can Papa fight


    against the pirates? He''s only joking.”


    Yet, Nathan held Queenie in his arms and chuckled. "Papa isn''t joking. I''ll wipe out all these pirates


    within one week. You''ll see the news of Odysseus getting arrested on the TV in no time.”


    Penny rolled her eyes at Nathan and said exasperatedly, "Yes, keep bragging to the kid."


    Nathanughed. "You''ll soon know that I''m only telling the truth."


    In the meantime, seated at a table nearby Nathan and his family were a few well-built, tanned men.


    They were giving off a faint ocean scent.


    Upon listening to Nathan''s conversation, expressions of fury appeared on their faces. They all shot


    Nathan a murderous look.


    These men were the pirates of Demon''s Lair under Odysseus. They hade here on a mission to


    kill Nathan and his family on Odysseus''mand.
