Gaden recalled the scene two months ago...

After the destruction of the two largest gangs, Shark and Quirk, the ranking of pirate forces on Northwest Bay will naturally change. In this chaotic situation, "Loach" Gaden made an important decision: wait and see what happens.

He summoned the leaders of his gang in a temporary stronghold and announced the decision.

"From now on, keep a low profile. When the situation stabilizes, we can continue our activities as before."

A leader asked, "But chief, now that the sharks and Quirk are finished, if we can seize the opportunity, we may be able to become the largest pirate force in Northwest Bay. With our power, if we shrink at this time, wouldn't we give up our ranking position to others."

The leader's tone was slightly dissatisfied, as if he was questioning Gaden's leadership ability.

But Gaden sneered at his words: "It's a great success. Now Alarda Territory, the master Paul Greiman, is very proud. If you compete for that flashy ranking at this time, wouldn't you be rushing to be his target?"

He stared at the little boss and said, "If you want to fight, you can go out and work alone, but don't drag your brothers to die together."

The little leader shrank his neck, obviously frightened by Gaden's words.

He quickly explained, "Gaden Leader, I'm just giving my suggestions. Hehe, I know how much I weigh, and you will always be my boss."

Gaden snorted, he expected that this little boss would not dare to have any objections.

"Let's disperse now! I want to think carefully about my future action strategy."

Gaden waved his hand and told his men to disperse.

Everyone stood up and left, and after a while the room became quiet.

Only one person stayed, the little leader who had objections to his decision.

Gaden narrowed his eyes. "Why are you still here?"

Speaking of which, the person in front of me seems a bit strange. Normally, this little boss is taciturn. He does whatever he is told and never asks a question. Today, he dares to have an opinion on his decision?

The little boss didn't answer, but twisted his neck and straightened up in his seat, changing his timid temperament just now.

Gaden felt that he seemed to have been offended in some way. He became slightly annoyed and decided to teach the subordinate in front of him a lesson.

However, the next second he felt like he was in an ice cellar, and he couldn't help but shiver. It was obvious that the weather had just turned cold, and the temperature could not be so low.

Looking at the subordinate again, a strange smile appeared on this guy's face, staring straight at the leader of Pirate Crew.

Gaden felt a hint of danger, it felt like being stared at by a venomous snake spitting out its seeds.

He quietly reached his right hand behind his back and touched the poison-quenching dagger tied around his waist, feeling a little more at ease.

In these few seconds, a series of terrible thoughts flashed through Gaden's mind:

Is this guy planning to rebel? The henchmen who were on guard outside have already been killed, right?

Seeing as he looks so confident, is he fully prepared? I am usually so cautious, but I don't want to capsize in the gutter!

How on earth was the other party prepared? There were no signs or signs at all.

"Once he sends a signal, a large group of traitors will definitely rush in from outside and kill me!"

Gaden While thinking this, he pulled out the dagger a short distance. At such a close distance, he was confident that he could accurately throw the dagger at the opponent. With the potent poison on the dagger, as long as it could scratch the skin, the traitor would slowly wait to die in pain.

snort! If you want my life, then take your own life in exchange.

Gaden growled coldly, "Swordfish, answer my question! I don't want to ask it a second time!"

The subordinate with the nickname Swordfish still did not answer his question. Just when Gaden became angry and was about to try to call the confidant outside who didn't know whether he was alive or dead, the other party made a move.

"Crack! Crack! Crack!"

Swordfish actually clapped his hands.

Gaden took the opponent's clapping action as a signal to the rebel conspirators. He tightly held the dagger behind his back and tensed his muscles, waiting for someone to break in.

Let's fight to the death! One second, two seconds, three seconds...

No one came in, nothing happened.

The confusion on Gaden's face flashed across his face, but it was still captured by Swordfish.

"Hahahahaha!"

Swordfish laughed, and Gaden, who had been focusing on him, finally noticed something unusual: the laughing voice did not belong to Swordfish himself.

The other party seemed to be mocking himself, Gaden was somewhat disgraceful, and the fear in his heart was getting stronger and stronger. Although the worst thing expected did not happen, the current strange situation was a hundred times worse than a large group of traitors rushing in.

Who is this "Swordfish" in front of me? How did the other party pretend to be Swordfish?

Where is Swordfish really now?

What exactly makes the other party act unscrupulously in front of you? I didn't see any weapons on him.

Gaden forced himself to calm down and asked in a deep voice, "Your Excellency... who is it?"

"Swordfish", who was still sitting in his seat, was obviously stunned for a moment, then he reacted and asked, still smiling, "What, have you been seen through?"

"Hmph! Swordfish can't be so bold in front of me. Of course, what betrays you the most is your laughter just now. I am very familiar with Swordfish's voice."

Gaden said how he saw the other party's disguise.

"Swordfish" clapped his hands for the second time and said, "Oh, I accidentally let my voice betray me. Originally, I wanted you to continue to be confused for a while, but now it's no longer a joke."

"Should I say he deserves to be called a 'loach'? His strategy of not being the first person just now is really worthy of this nickname."

Gaden asked, "Who are you? What is your purpose of coming here? Where is Swordfish really?"

"Swordfish" and Gaden looked at each other with a slight glint in their eyes. He calmly stretched out three fingers and said, "These are three questions. Let's make a deal. Every time I answer a question, you promise me...?"

"Fuck your deal!"

Before "Swordfish" could finish speaking, a dagger flew toward his face at an extremely fast speed. Gaden threw his weapon hard, moving as fast as lightning.

As soon as the dagger came out of his hand, he felt a little incredible: when did he become so reckless, and did it without even finding out the details of the other party?

The feeling just now was very subtle. Almost as soon as the idea of killing "Swordfish" came to mind, the body put it into action on its own, without even giving the brain a chance to think about it.

Forget it, just kill it, right? It's not like he got into some messy things.

Gaden was very confident in his poisoned dagger and throwing accuracy, but something shocking happened: the dagger accurately hit the opponent's eyebrow, and then...

With a "click" sound, it fell to the ground.
