Chapter 554


    As expected, he had lost his right thumb.


    “I’m just a handicapped man. It’s hard for me to find a wife, let alone do something big. So, I’ve been


    doing misceneous work, and nobody likes me,” he said, looking despondent. “And of course, I hate


    you. I swear I’ll make your father pay a price. So, when you’re here to

    ‘Reese Cooper…‘ Pearl recalled that it was the godfather she had encountered by chance.


    Reese, Drew… One appeared like a thug, while the other was bright and handsome. Pearl found it


    difficult to connect them.


    The man assumed that Pearl would sympathize with him after he shared his woes. After all, she was


    such a mysterious woman. If she could help him, it would bring no disadvantages. Unexpectedly, Pearl


    didn’t empathize with him after hearing about his experiences. On the contrary, she rolled her eyes.


    “You imed it was just a minor mistake. Do you have the guts to exin that now? And you want


    revenge, yet you ordered your men to harass the women on this ship. It’s clear that you’re just a


    bastard!”


    “You don’t know the whole story. How can you judge me like that?” The masked man’s face twisted in

    anger. “Fine, you’re going to pay for this!”


    Not only was Pearl fearless, but she also stepped forward in front of everyone else. “So, you have a


    grudge against the Coopers. But what about the people behind you? Were they also treated unfairly?”


    The dozen people holding knives behind the man looked bewildered.


    Pearl casually pointed at a person who seemed rtively honest. She smiled at him and asked, “Why


    do you want to work for him?”


    “I… He promised to pay me a lot of money after we’re done,” the man replied.


    Pearl nodded thoughtfully and asked another person, “What about you?”


    “He also promised to give me money after it’s over.”


    Those answers made Pearlugh. “He’s just a poor man. Can you guarantee you’ll receive the money


    once he kills the ship owner’s son? Besides, what you’ve been doing with him is illegal. What awaits


    you isn’t a fortune but relentless pursuit and danger. Don’t forget the power of the man who owns this


    kind of ship. Well, perhaps your wives and children will suffer alongside you!”


    Pearl’s fierce words and stern expression stunned everyone. They began to whisper among


    themselves.


    “Yeah, he did promise to pay us, but where will he get the money from?”


    “He doesn’t have a penny. He only wants revenge.”


    “Why do I feel like I’ve been scammed?”

    Their gazes turned towards the man in the mask.


    The masked man looked livid. “Don’t listen to her. She’s just trying to confuse us so she beat us all!”


    But the people behind him didn’t dare to budge, no matter what he said.


    Pearl slowly smiled and said, “Listen to my offer. Work for me and capture this rude man. When it’s


    done, I’ll give each of you 150 thousand dors.”


    “150 thousand?”


    Everyone cast intense but uncertain nces at the man in the mask, sizing him up without reservation.
