Pirates: Rush to the Peak

"Zila la~" With a sharp sound of electricity, the scattered lightning danced in the air like a silver snake, and finally disappeared without a trace. Enelu slowly turned around, and his sharp eyes fell directly on Kuro like lightning.

Kuro looked at Enelu with suspicion and couldn't help asking, "Is there anyone causing trouble down there? Why is there such a big commotion all of a sudden?"

However, Enel simply replied lightly: "No, it's just that my hands are a little itchy." After that, he closed his lips tightly and refused to say another word.

Kuro saw this, but he didn't investigate further. After all, for a person as powerful and eccentric as Enelu, it was common for him to do things that made people confused. So Kuro quickly shifted his attention to Tesoro, who was not far away, and stared at him closely.

"The pigeons from the news agency have already flown away! Let's talk about why you suddenly took action just now, shall we?"

Kuro's face was gloomy, but his tone was unusually calm, as if everything that happened before his eyes was within his expectations.

However, this seemingly light-hearted remark made Tezoro on the opposite side feel as if he was facing a formidable enemy, and he immediately tensed up.

Veins popped out on Tesoro's forehead, and his lips trembled slightly: "I... I did this for... for..."

When the words came to his lips, he seemed to have something stuck in his throat. He suddenly began to stutter, and his mouth kept stumbling over and over, unable to utter a complete sentence for a long time.

Seeing this, Kuro raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing an imperceptible sneer.

Then, he stared at Tezulo with sharp eyes and said slowly: "Humph, you want to kill someone with a borrowed knife? You don't even consider whether you have the ability to pick up this knife! If you are not careful, not only will you fail to hold the knife, but you will also hurt yourself!"

After saying that, the coldness in Kuro's eyes became even colder, as if it could penetrate a person's soul.

After hearing this, Tezulo couldn't help but swallow hard, and a gurgling sound came from his throat, but in the end he didn't dare to say anything.

Feld, who was standing aside, was also pale at this time, with beads of sweat sliding down his forehead. He wiped the sweat off in a hurry, while sneaking glances at Kuro and Tesoro nervously, fearing that the tension between the two would be ignited by accident.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the whole room was so solemn that it was almost hard to breathe. Both Tesoro and Feld looked nervous.

Kuro narrowed his narrow and deep eyes slightly, and looked up and down at the two people standing in front of him. His sharp eyes seemed to be able to penetrate people's souls, and the two people being stared at could not help but feel a chill rising from their spines.

As time passed, in this suffocating silence, their heartbeats became faster and faster, and beads of sweat began to appear on their foreheads. They felt like two lambs to be slaughtered, facing a life-or-death decision.

However, just when the two were about to collapse from excessive tension, Kuro's stern face suddenly showed a barely perceptible smile. The corners of his mouth slightly raised, outlining a meaningful arc, making it difficult to guess what he was really thinking at the moment.

"Since this is our first collaboration, I can choose to forgive the mistakes you made this time." Kuro said lightly. Although his voice was not loud, it exploded in the ears of the two men like thunder.

"Really? Master Kuro!" Feld was overjoyed when he heard this, and almost jumped up with excitement. He stared at Kuro with eyes wide open, full of disbelief and gratitude.

Kuro looked at the excited Feld in front of him with an expressionless face, and just hummed lightly in response.

But before Feld could be happy for too long, Kuro added: "But..."

Just two words made Feld, who had just relaxed, tense up again. His heart suddenly rose to his throat, and he stammered, "Master Kuro, you... you are not going to regret it, are you?"

Kuro glanced coldly at the horrified Feld and snorted disdainfully: "I'm not that fickle." After a pause, he continued: "Although the mission was successfully completed, some unexpected situations occurred, which affected my plan to a certain extent. Therefore, the originally agreed reward needs to be doubled now."

Hearing this, Feld was stunned at first, then he gritted his teeth and nodded in agreement: "Okay, Master Kuro, as long as you are willing to let us go, the reward is definitely not a problem!"

At this time, Kuro turned his gaze to the other person who had been silent, and said with a hint of sarcasm: "Come to think of it, you little brat are really lucky this time! You can actually confront the members of the Knights of God head-on. You know, those guys are usually responsible for hunting down top-level strong men. It's a miracle for a small character like you with low strength to survive in their hands. I don't know whether to say that you are lucky or unlucky..." After saying that, Kuro couldn't help laughing.
