The Witcher: Son of the Planes.
Chapter 20 The End of the Hero
The sea water at night was very cold, and Jack was shivering from the cold.
Rose was also tired after a long day and fell asleep on the broken plank.
Jack breathed a sigh of relief and felt the part below his legs was very stiff, and his chest and waist were powerless, but he still slowly pushed the board and drifted with the ocean current. Looking at his beloved woman, Rose, sleeping peacefully, Jack closed his eyes in contentment.
Rose woke up as if she felt something in her dream. Seeing Jack with his eyes closed, she hurriedly shouted, "Honey, honey."
Jack opened his eyes and looked at Rose "What's wrong, Rose, did you have a nightmare?"
"No, but I seemed to dream that you were gone." Rose said anxiously.
"Heh, I'm here. It's okay. We still have to go back to the island."
Hearing Jack's powerful answer, Rose felt relieved.
"But if I keep drifting like this, how long will it take to get back to the Island of Confession?" Rose thought to herself.
……
"Admiral, look, there seems to be someone in front." the guard shouted.
"Hmm? ...Who could it be?" thought Hedram Burgess.
"When the boat got closer, I found that it was a man and a woman, but due to the limited light, I couldn't see who they were."
"Who are you? Do you need help? We are the Denton Navy." the guard shouted.
Because it was dark at night, Jack and Rose didn't notice the large ship approaching until Hedram came closer.
Before they could be happy, they heard the news that it was from the navy. Jack looked as pale as death, and Rose was sweating all over and looked terrified.
……
"Colin, you're lucky, right? You were assigned to our team right after you left the training team. Our team is the elite of the whole team, much better than those pikemen and musketeers. You should just follow our Lord Joshua."
Colin smiled. He was looking forward to being assigned to the scout team in order to broaden his horizons and improve his skills. As for Lord Joshua, he would catch up with him sooner or later.
……
Commander Hedram Bergs quietly looked at Jack and Rose in the sea and said, "Surrender, Jack. If you are a man, you must have the courage to admit defeat. You have been abandoned by your men."
"You want to catch me and collect the reward too?" Jack said with a sneer.
"Huh, they're like the same raccoon dog."
Hedram did not make any excuses, but just said: "I am a navy officer, you are a pirate, it is only natural for me to fight you, and since you have already failed, surrender is your only way."
"Admiral, please let us go. We have nothing left. We will find an uninhabited island to live out the rest of our lives. We will not rob or hurt anyone again." Rose begged bitterly.
Glancing at Rose, Hedram said nothing.
"Don't beg him, Rose. If they didn't make it impossible for us to survive, who would want to be a pirate?" Jack roared.
……
"I'm sorry for some people's wrong policies, but this is not a reason for you to become a pirate and burn, kill, rape and plunder. Accept the punishment, Jack."
"Haha, forget it."
"Rose, you have to live well. You must live."
"Hedram, if you are a man, don't make things difficult for Rose. She has never done anything bad. I hope you can promise me not to bully women."
Taking a last look at his beloved Rose, Jack released his hands from holding onto the board.
As Jack's body sank, he made his last sound. "Haha, you'll never catch me..."
After drifting for most of the night, Jack had already exhausted all his strength. If he let go, it would be difficult for him to float to the surface again.
Knowing that Jack had no chance of survival, Rose cried out, "Jack, Jack..." Rose's heart was broken.
He ordered the sailors to rescue Rose who was almost drowning, and Hedram admired Jack's decisiveness in his heart.
"How cruel! Is this a man's promise?..."
"Don't worry, I, Hedram, won't embarrass a woman."
Shaking their heads, the fleet headed for the port.
……
"Master, I heard that Jack is dead. Now we have taken revenge," Bob flattered.
"Haha, it's time to die. Jack, that damn sea rat, is finally dead." Barto said happily.
"The sea will be much calmer now. These sea rats are affecting my ability to make money. They all deserve to die. When I save enough money for a title, I will find a country place to build a manor. Then I will donate a title to you so that you can enjoy the good life with me."
"Thank you, sir. You are so kind-hearted. Your generosity is as bright as the stars in the sky." Hearing Barto's promise, Bob also complimented him sincerely.
"Well, now that we're back at the Port of Auckland, we have to celebrate and let out some bad feelings from the past few months."
"As you wish, sir. It's time for the brothers to relax."
……
Port of Oakland.
With the return of Commander Hedram Burgess, although Jack was not captured, the news of Jack's elimination was still passed back to the port. Hedram can be said to have made a great contribution this time, and the military will definitely send him a commendation.
The First, Second, Third, and Fourth Fleets had all received the news of Jack's demise, and they were all envious, "Humph, the blind cat caught the dead mouse, and this guy got the advantage."
……
Port of Auckland – Hanson's Tavern
"Have you heard that Jack, the Jack of the Black Skull, was betrayed by his subordinates and has committed suicide by jumping into the sea?"
"It seems that the Red Shark is also involved."
"Humph, it's just dog biting dog, let them fight."
"Ha, that's hilarious. Can pirates be drowned by the sea?"
"Really, it seems like it ran out of energy and sank to the bottom of the sea."
"Really? That's great, but there's one big downside."
Drinking alone and listening to the numb voices of the crowd, Rose felt heartbroken and had no energy to argue with them.
There was always a voice in Rose's heart saying, "Revenge, revenge."
She did not blame Admiral Hedram Bergs nor the rebellious sailors. She only hated that damn Armand. It was him and his betrayal that led to Jack's death.
"Rose?" Hansen asked.
"It's the boss..." Rose answered with her eyes half drunk. (Rose once worked at Hansen's Tavern for a while)
"Aren't you following Jack? ... I heard Jack is gone."
Rose was silent for a while, "Boss, do you have any solution? Help me, I want revenge." Rose grabbed Hansen's arm and said.
Hansen looked at Rose's expectant eyes, his heart softened, and he said, "Superb, only super power can help you." Then he turned around and left.
After hearing Hansen's answer, Rose made up her mind to master the extraordinary power and seek revenge on Armand.
