    Liu Yong swiftly essed the pet panel and activated the third-party field of vision, instantly revealing a high-definition view.


    [[ " Quack, it''s all in HD, " ]], presenting a range of options to zoom in and adjust the viewing angle within the 1000-meter radius.


    With the aid of the panel, Liu Yong''s eyes captured a clear sight of Bawang, along with the nearby container ship "Hongda," merely a couple of hundred meters away. Additionally, he spotted four speedboats encircling the "Hongda," engaging in a cat-and-mouse game.


    Several armed pirates manned the speedboats, their organized and well-equipped demeanour hinting at their affiliation with a giant pirate organization, likely at the behest of Somali al-Shabaab.


    Frustration filled Liu Yong''s voice as he said, [ " As soon as I leave, these pirates set their sights on our ship. Overlord, sink all four pirate speedboats and leave none of those pirates alive. " ]


    Meanwhile, aboard the cargo ship "Hongda," panic consumed the crew members. Their encounter with Somali pirates left some in despair, as the notion of being hijacked like the ill-fated "Eastern Star" haunted their thoughts.


    Amid their pessimistic musings, a crew member eximed, [ " Captain, look over there! What''s happening? " ]


    Captured by curiosity, Captain Lu Yingwu turned his gaze towards the source of themotion. To his astonishment, he witnessed an unexpected turn of events—a pirate speedboat had capsized.


    [ " Yes, it capsized indeed, " ] remarked one crew member, while another added, [ " Why did the good one capsize? " ]


    A sense of relief swept through the previously deste crew as they observed the pirates struggling in the water, devoid of life-saving equipment or life jackets. The sight of their torment brought about a surge of jubtion, transforming their hopeless spirits into resounding cheers.


    Their hope for further salvation grew as they noticed three more pirate speedboats, silently enduring and praying for their capsizing, a testament to the crew''s desperate faith.


    Their prayers were answered as another speedboat abruptly overturned, possibly struck by an unseen force, as the distance made it difficult to discern the exact cause. The pirates on board were left floundering in the tumultuous waters.


    This miraculous turn of events was attributed to the Overlord''s intervention. The small speedboat effortlessly capsized with a swift thrust of its colossal 50-meter spear. Overlord repeated this action in a show of dominance, flipping another speedboat with a resounding p. He even tried to consume one of the pirates but promptly spat it out, appalled by the unpleasant taste.


    Yet, two speedboats remained, and the pirates were utterly bewildered.


    They had never witnessed such an extraordinary urrence before and were at a loss for words. Faced with theirrades struggling in the water, their immediate priority was to rescue them, momentarily disregarding the cargo ship "Hongda" before them.


    As a speedboat rushed to aid the fallen pirates, it also suffered the same fate—capsizing and turning upside down within seconds.


    The pirates on the sole remaining speedboat grew pale with terror. Convinced that they had incurred the wrath of the Sea God, they mustered the courage to flee at full throttle, desperate to escape.


    Finally, aboard the "Hongda," jubnt cheers filled the air. [ " Haha, those pirates are finished! " ] eximed one crew member in sheer ecstasy.


    Another remarked, [ " God has truly shown us mercy. I never expected such an astonishing turn of events. " ] The harrowing moments of fear and anticipation dissipated, leaving the crew in awe of the sudden reversal of fortune.


    [ " I was scared to death just now. I thought we were destined to be hijacked by those pirates, " ] expressed another crew member, relief evident in their voice.


    As the crew rejoiced, their eyes remained fixated on the lone speedboat desperately attempting to flee. Some whispered fervently in their hearts, hoping for its overturning, unwilling to let it escape.


    In an inexplicable twist, an extraordinary scene unfolded once again...


    The speedboat swiftly escaped, covering a distance of approximately three to five hundred meters. However, to everyone''s astonishment, it suddenly and inexplicably capsized, causing all the pirates onboard to be thrown into the water.


    [ " Haha, thest one capsized too, " ] one of the crew members eximed gleefully.


    [ " I saw it with my own eyes! It was quite a sight to behold, " ] another crew member said, clearly enjoying the spectacle.


    Onboard the "Hongda," there was an air of jubtion and rxation. The crew members felt a sense of relief, as if they had just survived a catastrophic event.


    Initially, they had been filled with despair, but their outlook had changed entirely.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    [ " All four pirate speedboats overturned! " ] Yet another worker eximed, emphasizing the defeat of the pirates.


    They were stranded in the ocean, hundreds of nautical miles away from the nearestnd, with no life-saving equipment. Exhaustion took its toll, and only one of them managed to survive before sumbing to the sea.


    [ " Captain, look! " ] one crew member called out, pointing towards some of the struggling pirates desperately swimming towards the "Hongda," hoping for assistance.


    Captain Lu Yingwu had already noticed them but intentionally feigned ignorance, dering loudly, [ " Ignore them, increase our speed. Let''s get out of here. " ]


    [ " Hehe, they wanted to hijack us, but now they expect us to save them, " ]


    Lu Yingwu thought, finding sce in the thought, his anger momentarily relieved.


    Meanwhile, on the ne, Liu Yong watched the thrilling events unfold through a live broadcast from a third-party perspective. He found it immensely entertaining and satisfying.


    Mtu had ordered a group of pirates to hijack our cargo ship, the "Hongda."


    -HUH!.......... Liu Yong thought.


    Mean while Bawang contacted Liu Yong.


    [ " Master, all four pirate speedboats have been disabled, " ]


    Liu Yong praised, [ " Excellent job. It was executed wlessly. " ]


    [ " What''s the next step, Master ? "] Bawang inquired.


    Liu Yong replied, [ " Follow the cargo ship ''Hongda'' and escort it out of the waters of the Gulf of Aden. Once the mission isplete, stay temporarily in the vicinity of the Gulf of Aden. " ]


    [ " Understood, no problem, " ] the Overlord acknowledged willingly.


    Over the next ten, twenty, or even thirty days, the Overlord would remain in the waters of the Gulf of Aden, with two primary objectives: intercepting ships belonging to the global shippingpany andunching attacks on pirates in the region if Liu Yongmanded it.


    The targeted strikes against specific pirates aimed to send a message to Mtu, warning him that reneging on his promises woulde at a cost.


    Due to the time difference, it was alreadyte at night when Liu Yong and hispanionsnded at Huahai International Airport. Nevertheless, several cars had arrived to wee them.


    Qiu Yang, Hu Shijun, and others anxiously waited outside the airport.


    When Liu Yong, Qiu Yang, and Hu Shijun emerged from the airport, their friends joyfully greeted them.


    [ " Boss! " ] Qiu Yang eximed excitedly.


    [ " Brother Yong! " ] Hu Shijun called out warmly.


    Seeing hispanions, Liu Yong smiled and said, [ " I told you there was no need to gather, but I didn''t expect all of you toe. " ]


    Hu Shijun replied, [ " Brother Yong, we are thrilled to wee your triumphant return. You ventured to Somalia and earned a billion dors. We admire you greatly and feltpelled toe to the airport to greet you. " ]


    Liu Yong chuckled and said, [ " Well then, let''s get in the car and go. " ]
