My beautiful CEO

Not long after, the sounds of gunfire could be heard from the deck of the ship. It seemed like Barran and the others had started to fight back.

However, from the looks of the gunfire, the pirates had very strong firepower. They should have used AK-47 guns, which was much more powerful than the short guns that Barran and the others had.

The exchange of fire between the two was extremely intense. After a while, a streak of light suddenly flew from the sea towards the cruise ship, striking the side of the ship and causing a violent explosion.

Flames roared to the sky, and a deafening roar filled the air. Qin Hai was secretly speechless. He didn't expect these pirates to have rockets in their hands. This was going to be troublesome.

A few minutes later, a man, under cover of the hull, was sprinting toward the gangway. Qin Hai gave Selina and Anna a meaningful glance, and the three of them hid in the nearby cabin.

After a while, Barran rushed to Guy and panted, "Mr. Guy, the enemy's firepower is too strong for us to defend."

Guy's face changed dramatically. "Then what should we do? If we can't hold on, we'll all die!" Barran, you aren't trying to persuade me to surrender to the pirates, are you? "

Barran hesitated, then said, "Mr. Guy, I don't want to do this, but there's no other way. As you can see, they still have rockets in their hands. If they make a big hole in the cruise ship, we won't even have a chance to escape. Instead of that, talk to them. They're just asking for money. Just give them some money. "

Guy's face was as black as the bottom of a pot. He asked in a deep voice, "How much?"

"Millions of dollars is definitely not a small amount. If they ask for it, it might cost tens of millions of dollars."

Guy snorted. "Where can I find a few million dollars now?"

"Transferring funds is also fine!"

Guy gave Barran a deep look. "Captain Barran, you know these pirates very well."

Barran's expression changed slightly as he frowned, "Mister Guy, what do you mean by this? Do you suspect me of having colluded with the pirates? "

"I didn't say that, but I want to advise you that it's best if you don't. Otherwise, even if I'm killed by the pirates, I'll take your life first!" Guy tried to put on a brave front but failed to do so.

A cold light flashed through Barran's eyes. However, due to the darkness of the night and Barran's lowered head, Guy didn't notice it.

"Alright then, I will bring my men to resist until the very last moment to prove my innocence with my actions." Barron looked up, gave Guy a long look, then turned and walked back down the stairs.

Qin Hai led Anna and the others out of the cabin. Guy immediately asked, "I think Barran is very likely in cahoots with those so-called pirates. What do you think we should do now?"

Ce'Nedra said, "If they really are here to seek money, it's not impossible to give them a sum of money. I'm afraid they aren't here just for money."

At this point, Ce'Nedra asked, "Uncle Guy, why do you want that crown?"

"Serena, you know that I've been studying the famous pirate groups in history. The Blood Rose was left behind by Blackbeard, so I'd really like to use it to find out some of Blackbeard's secrets."

Qin Hai couldn't help but laugh. "Professor Guy, if it's really that simple, can't you just borrow it from Selina directly?" Actually, your real goal is to find Blackbeard's treasure through the Blood Rose, right? You don't have to look at me like that. Barran said long ago about this matter. I don't think their goal is just to get money. They also want to find that huge treasure deposit. "

Guy stared blankly for a moment, then sighed and nodded, "That's right, according to my research, through the Blood Rose, I should be able to find the Black Beard Hidden Treasure, and it is very likely to be the only way. It's very likely that the treasure map is hidden within the Blood Rose, so if you want to find it, you must first destroy the Blood Rose. "

"So in order to cover up the truth, you secretly bribed Barran and the others, causing such a kidnapping?" Ce'Nedra stared coldly at Guy. "Uncle Guy, is that treasure really that important to you?"

Guy smiled wryly. "Serena, you know, I study history. I look for treasure not just for money, but for that piece of history."

"Enough!" Serena's chest violently rose up and down: "No matter what your purpose is, you ruined my birthday party for your own selfish purposes and now you have put so many people in danger. You are too selfish. I didn't think that you would be such a person."

After a while, he let out a long sigh, "It's useless to say these things now. If we can't stop those pirates, we'll all die here tonight, or else they'll just treat us as meat money and demand huge amounts of money from your father." "Serena, Uncle did let you down, but now concentrate on how to deal with those damned pirates."

Ce'Nedra glared at Guy. "What else can we do? We can only go all out against them!"

At that moment, Barran climbed up the stairs once again. Qin Hai brought Selina and the others along and quickly hid inside the cabin.

"Professor Guy, I really can't take it anymore. I think we should hurry up and find Blood Rose and leave in the lifeboat. The pirates are now staring at the cruise ship, so they shouldn't be chasing us. "

Guy maintained his composure and asked, "Xue Rose is missing now, where can we go to find her?"

"The person who took the blood Rose must be among those hostages. If he doesn't hand it over, he'll kill everyone!" Barran said with a murderous look on his face.

"Isn't that cruel?" Guy frowned.

"We can't care so much now. By the time the pirates charge us, we'll have them all dead too!"

Guy thought for a moment. "Well, I'll leave it to you."

Barran revealed a happy expression and immediately headed toward the reception hall after replying. However, just as he was about to open the door to the hall, Barran suddenly stopped.

After a few seconds, Barran turned his head and said to Guy, "The boat can't stop. I'll go check the bridge first and let them start the boat. That way, we can buy some time."

With that, Barran turned around and walked toward the driver's seat.

"Not good, this guy has already found out that all the hostages have been released!"

Qin Hai quickly rushed out of the cabin, but Barran's reaction was also very fast. He quickly brandished his gun and fired at Qin Hai and the others. After that, he pulled out a grenade from his waist and threw it over.

Qin Hai could only retreat back into the cabin and wait for the grenade to explode before continuing his chase.

But Barran had vanished without a trace in the midst of the smoke and dust, and Guy had fallen to the ground.
