Chapter 553


    The person had a mask on, so his expression was hidden, but the anger in his eyes was clear. “I’ve


    been lurking on this ship for three years,” the person said, looking at Drew with a sneer. “I endured


    silently as your subordinate for three years. Finally, today, I have the chance to get back at you.


    However, Drew was calm as if nothing serious had happened. “Oh, is that so?”


    The person was infuriated by Drew’sck of fear. “Keep pretending. Let’s see if you can stay this calm


    Behind him, there was a group of men dressed in ck. They all looked fierce and ready for


    action.


    He raised his hand, and one of his men immediately approached him. Respectfully, the man asked,


    “Master, what should we do with these two?”


    “You can do whatever you want with the others, but leave the two people at the table alone,” the


    masked man replied with a sinisterugh.


    Hearing this, the others in his group became excited. Since their master had given them free rein with


    the other people, it meant they could have their way with the women present.


    Some of the women trembled in fear, crouching on the floor, too frightened to speak. When they heard


    the orders, they nearly burst into tears.

    move, Pearl suddenly snorted, causing them to pause.


    All eyes turned to Pearl.


    “What are youughing at? Why would youugh when you’re about to meet your end?” The masked


    man was baffled by Pearl’s reaction. He couldn’t understand why she seemed different from the other


    women, disying no fear.


    Pearl snorted again and stared at him. “What’s there to be afraid of? You’re just a pitiful person.‘


    The man stepped forward and grabbed her throat. “What did you say? You’re going to die today!”


    “Don’t be so sure about that. Maybe you can’t beat me. You’d better don’t waste your energy.”


    Hearing this, the manughed. “You were rescued from the sea, and you’ve been in bed for so many


    days. I’m sure you’re weak. How could you possibly fight me?”


    The masked man didn’t want to engage in a lengthy conversation with Pearl. He reached to grab her


    hand, but to his surprise, Pearl had a firm grip on his wrists, immobilizing himpletely.

    Immediately, his expression turned grotesque. Pearl’s strength was overwhelming.


    It wasn’t just brute force; it was her inner strength that made a seasoned martial artist like him submit


    helplessly.

    “You…”


    “Can you defeat me?” Pearl smiled. She might not be able to take on all of them at once, but in one–


    on–onebat, she had confidence.


    The man forced a grim smile. “You’re brave. can’t beat you?”


    But we’ve outnumbered you. Do you think we


    “Let’s not talk about the fight just yet. Tell me why you’re making a scene here today.”


    Pearl’s question triggered his memories, and a surge of hatred overcame him. “I came aboard this ship


    three years ago, hoping to make a fortune and marry when I returned home. But your father, Reese


    Cooper, punished me harshly for a minor mistake I made.”


    He then raised his hand, showing it to everyone.
