Simple and dull
Anthony stood not far from the fleet, staring closely at the person running towards him in front.
He knew this person. He had average mental strength and no outstanding abilities. He was from the logistics department of the pirate base.
The man approached cautiously, and when he saw Anthony's cold face, he stopped in fear.
Anthony asked coldly, "Jacob sent you? Just say what you want to say."
The man was so nervous that cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He forced a smile and said, "Anthony, long time no see..."
Anthony glared at him impatiently: "Stop talking nonsense."
The man shut his mouth awkwardly, wiped the sweat off his face, and said, "Chief Jacob...died yesterday. He was killed by Knox."
"What did you say?"
Anthony thought he had misheard and was stunned for several seconds.
If the other party said that Jacob was killed, or Knox killed someone else, he would not be so surprised, but the other party said that Knox killed Jacob, which was really unbelievable!
Anthony suspected that this man was playing a trick on him. His face darkened instantly. He rushed forward, grabbed the man's collar, and pressed him to the ground, causing dust to fly.
The man turned pale with fear.
During the time that Anrita was missing, Anthony had hardly any rest. He became gloomy and irritable, and at this moment he had no patience at all.
He said in a cold voice: "Tell me, what is Jacob doing now? Take me to see him, I don't have time to listen to your nonsense."
The man was so frightened that he swallowed his saliva and said in a trembling voice, "Anthony, I really didn't lie to you! I told you the truth! Jacob is really dead. Knox killed him with his own hands. Many people saw it."
Anthony stared at him closely and said expressionlessly: "In that case, let Knox come out to see me!"
After saying that, he let go of her hand.
The man ran back dejectedly to report the news. After hearing the news, Knox sighed helplessly: "Anthony is indeed cautious. Since he wants to see me, I will go and meet him."
Knox kissed Anrita lightly on the forehead, carefully tidied the quilt, and then walked out with his people.
Anthony was standing in the open space outside the base and saw Knox walking towards him from a distance.
He was a little surprised. He didn't expect Knox to come to the appointment alone.
The two men were of similar height and skin color, and both were marine orcs, with very eye-catching hair colors.
Anthony's hair is ocean blue, while Knox's is green.
They are tall and have outstanding abilities. When people around them see them meeting, they stay away from them, for fear that they will get into a fight due to a disagreement and get hurt.
Knox walked to a distance of four or five meters from Anthony and stopped. He said coldly, "Jacob is dead. If you want something, you can move it, but don't open fire. I don't want to fight you now."
He paused, then continued, "There are still two or three hundred people here. If you want, you can take them all away."
Knox didn't want to be the leader of the pirates, and he didn't even want to be a pirate in the first place.
Every time he robbed a merchant ship, he felt very sad when he saw innocent people being kidnapped and harmed. This is also the reason why Jacob did not trust him.
Jacob felt that sooner or later Knox would betray him, just like Anthony, or even kill him.
To some extent, Jacob's hunch was correct, he was indeed perceptive enough.
Anthony stared at Knox. He didn't care about Jacob's life or death, nor did he care about the feud between Knox and Jacob. He only cared about one thing: "Where is the saint you kidnapped? Where is she?"
Hearing this, Knox's eyes instantly sharpened. He stared at Anthony and said coldly, "You can take everything here, except her."
Anthony sneered: "What if I said that I only want her?"
Anthony didn't care about the wealth, resources and manpower at all. He went undercover in the pirate group just to get rid of Jacob. Now that the mission is completed, he just wants to return to normal life. Who would want to continue to be a pirate?
Knox's face also turned ugly: "Anthony, I said, I don't want to fight."
His eyes were deep and he said coldly, "She is my partner. I don't allow you to have any ideas about her."
"What did you say?" Anthony was stunned, his eyes filled with shock and disbelief. "Saint Anrita marked you?"
Knox's ears flushed slightly, and he lowered his head: "Not yet...but..."
"Ha! Not yet?" Anthony sneered. "Saint Anrita hasn't even marked you, and you're calling her your partner? Knox, I never realized you were so shameless."
Knox was irritated by this and said angrily, "This is between me and her. What does it have to do with you? Anthony, do you want to fight?"
Anthony crossed his arms, suddenly slowing down his pace and saying slowly, "You have a nice figure and are pretty, but look at your personality. You're dull and insincere, and you can't even say a word to coax people. Why would Saint Anrita fall for you?"
Knox was very angry and wondered what was wrong with Anthony, and he even made personal attacks!
It’s not Anthony’s turn to point fingers at what’s going on between him and Anrita!
Anita slowly woke up in the ward and saw an empty room when she opened her eyes. Knox, who had been in a coma for several days, was nowhere to be seen.
She was a little dazed. She sat on the bed, blinking slowly, and began to wonder in her heart: "Could this Knox guy have run away as soon as he woke up?"
After all, the deep spiritual counseling conducted by the two is an extremely intimate matter.
In Knox's mind, she had done so much for him, wasn't he unwilling in his heart?
Anrita scratched her hair in confusion. She had marked many males, but this was the first time she had encountered such a situation.
The males she marked in the past always pestered her. One time of comfort was not enough, and they wanted her to do it more times, wishing to drain her mental strength.
Thinking of Knox's dull and simple appearance, Anrita found it a little funny again.
As she got out of bed, she muttered softly, "Could Knox have been frightened by me? That shouldn't be the case. I was quite gentle at the time."
Anita walked to the door, opened it, and saw two male guards standing at the door. These were the men Nox had left behind to protect her.
The pirate base had a complicated personnel structure. As a female, Knox was worried about her and she had been in a coma for so long, so he found two trustworthy people to guard here.
The two guards saw Anrita wake up and showed surprise on their faces: "Lady Saint, you are finally awake!"
Anita nodded and quickly asked, "Where's Knox? Where did he go?"
Now, all she wanted was for Knox to take her back to the main planet. She missed Begway, Eugene and the others, and was worried that her companions had been worrying about her for too long, so she wanted to go back early to reassure them.
