Ling Lan saw Luo Lang and Xie Yi settle down in silence — only then did she close her eyes softly and tap the arms of her seat contemplatively. Soon after, her eyes snapped open and she pointed at the major standing to one side, and said calmly, “I forgot to tell you. This person here is also my hostage! Tell me, what will you use to trade for him?”

“Impossible!” The captain’s first reaction was disbelief. He knew the capabilities of the major. On this ship, the major was the strongest after him.

Ling Lan cast a slightly mocking gaze in the direction of the major. “Why don’t you tell him the truth?”

The major sighed softly and said, “What he says is right. I am indeed his hostage!” The major would not tell a blatant lie. If Ling Lan had truly wanted to bring him down, it was not impossible … although Ling Lan would have to expend quite a bit of effort, the major believed that as long as Ling Lan had the time, he was definitely no match for Ling Lan.

Furthermore, during this period of time, the major had come to understand that this seemingly cold and unfeeling youth was in fact very good at toeing the line of propriety. None of the crew members who had been captured by him were in any danger of dying, and even the guard-chief who had been seriously injured in the engine room had already received appropriate treatment to safeguard his life. Thus, he did not want to break his word and escalate the conflict between the two parties. If possible, he wanted to resolve this incident peacefully.

The major’s words impacted the captain. His expression changed as he found that the matter was more complicated than he had thought. However, Ling Lan’s mental blows did not end there. “Well then, let me show you two more video feeds!”

Ling Lan then pulled out the video feeds of the engine room and the living quarters. In the living quarters, all the crew members were all tied up and locked up in a room together. Similarly, in the engine room, the guard troop was also tied up together, but their guard-chief was not tied up, instead just lying weakly on the ground. On the screen, the captain could clearly see a significant amount of blood below the area he was lying on …

“What happened to Xiao Wan 1 ?” bellowed the captain. Could it be that his guard-chief of the engine room was dead?

“Not dead. He’s still alive!” Without any expression on her face, Ling Lan enlarged the image to let the captain see the rise and fall of the other’s chest. “However, if you insist on not admitting defeat, then I cannot guarantee how long he will live.” Ling Lan’s tone was glacial, as if she were not at all concerned whether the other lived or died.

The captain’s chest heaved violently; it was clear to see that his emotions were extremely unstable at this moment. However, it was just as Ling Lan had warned — the lives of the entire ship’s crew all depended on him.

“Captain, do you still think you have enough bargaining chips to negotiate with me?” Ling Lan quirked a brow at the other, her tone slightly mocking. For some reason, this distinct difference from his initial calm stoniness — this mocking tone — made the captain’s sense of danger rise exponentially.

Ling Lan rested her jaw on her right hand and said with a half-smile, “Indeed, with your strength, you can certainly kill any of us here within a second, and perhaps even reclaim control of this ship very quickly … However, do you think I was just waiting here for you idly, doing nothing at all?”

The captain’s face twitched but he held it back. He did not stop telling himself in his heart that the other was just trying to scare him — he could not be terrorized by a 16-year-old youth …
