Tidal Lies

Chapter 4

Nickolas stretched his lips wide as he sees the loot he has stolen from his unmet enemy.

"You're too easy..." His deep voice rasped through his throat, taking a handful of gold in his hand. "Too easy, Captain Slate. I bet I can slit your throat with one move." He devours the look at the gold, chuckling evilly.

Suddenly, the door in his quarters opened, vomiting out his quartermaster. He looks at his right-hand man.

"Oh, Mr. Taylor." He rolls his eyes from him to look at the gold bar. "What made you step into my quarters?" He examines the gold bar.

He bows at him slightly, the quartermaster's eyes were fierce. "We have lost track of the Theorisa, Captain." He reports.

Hearing this, Nick immediately laughs aloud, thinking that this is just funny. Mr. Grim smirks in victory.

"Oh my... Oh my oh my oh my!" Nickolas chuckled and used his long and slender finger to wipe the tears out of his eyes. "They're a dumb heck of a crew!" He deeply laughs again, shaking his head.

Taylor Grim agrees.

Nickolas sighs deeply, still can't move on from the thought of the new young captain. "Haha... This young Captain. Captain Slate, you say, don't you agree with me that he's too easy to handle?" The Captain plays the gold bar on his hand, making it jump up and down on his large palm.

Mr. Grim sways his head, "He'd be in no level with us, Captain."

Nickolas Thorne huffed, making his chest rise, "That is right, my quartermaster... That is right." He played with his tongue inside his mouth.

Mr. Grim nodded, "I will have my other people to know what he's up to if that is... To your consent, Sir." He sought permission from his head.

"No, no..." Nickolas surprisingly shook his head, making Mr. Grim to furrow his brows. He chuckles, "Let us not bother the little rat. Let him and his crew be. Because once our ships meet, it'll be the end of them."

Nodding in realization, his quartermaster bowed. "As expected from the greatest captain of all... There will be no one in this ocean that can steal your title." He obliged, delighting his captain.

"Oh please, Mr. Taylor..." His raspy voice amused as he raised his arm to show his palm to the latter, "Do not compliment me with your words." Captain Thorne waves his pointed index finger, "It just makes me want to kill him even sooner."

The Pirate King chuckled octaves down deeply, the thought of the young man in his mind.

Captain Slate gathered all his important men inside his quarters, they must plan everything perfectly for the attack.

He has 5 most important people inside his ship. Those were his family inside her household, the most trustful men she could ever have.

"Okay, let's start this arse-numbing plan." She seriously said, making some of them want to scold her for her ugly speech. However, most of them already laughed.

Her ears were as sharp as the elephant's, immediately glaring at those who laughed at her foul statement. The two suddenly zipped their mouths.

"Watch your lips, Mr. Hawkins and Mr. Gunner." She mumbled in a warning tone. "Or I might take them off before we could even start this meeting." She was very feisty, and they all loved it.

She was still the youngest of them all.

The two men pursed their lips, obeying immediately as she said so.

"Now! Please, Mr. Sailor, the map." She looks at her former butler who had a paper on his hand.

Hearing the order of his Captain, he clears his throat as he leans on the table and spreads the map. "Here it is, my captain."
