Yes!"
The guards answered in unison, then immediately took out their walkie-talkies to relay orders.
In an instant...
Dense footsteps echoed from every corner of the cruise ship.
Meanwhile, a voice rang out on the cruise ship: "Ladies and gentlemen, due to the discovery of several thieves on board, our company is currently pursuing them. We hope you will remain in your cabins and the banquet hall. We will apprehend these thieves as soon as possible. We sincerely apologize for the poor experience this has caused you."
"Ladies and..."
...
That's right!
The entire cruise ship security team was dispatched. This was an agreement between Denison and the cruise captain: mobilize the security team to assist him in capturing the three people to obtain the qilin seal, and in return, Denison would have to pay a high price.
Denison felt quite pained by this!
After all:
He had originally held victory in his grasp and was about to capture the three, and as long as the security team wasn't deployed, he wouldn't have to pay any price.
Unfortunately...
Denison cursed, "Three dog bastards, don't let me catch you, or I will make you wish you were dead!"
He had one more thing he hadn't said: killing people in international waters could also be troublesome, but it was only a little troublesome...
If they were killed, they were killed...
...
In the distance.
In a certain corner, Old Batou, White Whip, and Black Knife stood.
White Whip: "Old Batou, your strategy is truly brilliant!"
Black Knife: "Indeed! If it weren't for you attracting his attention, I would never have been able to take this qilin seal from so many Bodyguards so easily."
He opened the white package in his hand, which contained the qilin seal. That's right, this was all Old Batou's strategy: he had long guessed that Denison wouldn't be that stupid!
How could such an important treasure as the qilin seal be hidden in a room? It must be carried on his person, and he was always followed by a dozen or so Bodyguards, especially a brawny man with very strong skills. Even with Black Knife's ability, it was impossible to snatch the qilin seal from these people by force.
Therefore, Old Batou came up with this strategy!
He had Black Knife replace a Bodyguard, and they disguised a Bodyguard as Black Knife to steal the treasure and attract attention.
Black Knife then disguised himself as that Bodyguard to snatch the treasure back amidst the chaos, and then they would create chaos to escape.
Was the plan perfect?
Of course not! It had many flaws!
At the very least, if Denison were very familiar with that Bodyguard, he would definitely be able to recognize that something was wrong.
But they bet correctly! These Bodyguards were hired by Denison with money, except for that big man, and he wasn't particularly familiar with them.
Now the plan was complete!
At this moment:
Beep beep...
A faint alarm sounded throughout the cruise ship, along with a clear, articulate broadcast about catching thieves.
The faces of the three changed slightly.
They knew:
This was definitely aimed at catching them...
"Hurry, go..." Old Batou growled and led White Whip and Black Knife to charge in a certain direction, but the direction they were charging was not the one where Old Batou had previously said they had reserved a boat.
White Whip: "This direction... isn't right..."
Old Batou: "The boat I told you about earlier was a decoy. Since Denison has connections with the owner of this cruise ship and knew about our arrival in advance, it means he could definitely discover that unexpectedly appearing boat."
"Going to that boat now would be walking right into a trap..."
White Whip: "Then where..."
Old Batou took a speedboat key out of his pocket: "This cruise ship comes with speedboats. I stole a speedboat key from the deputy captain. We will leave by speedboat now."
"And their main personnel must be concentrated on that boat, so the guards in the direction of the speedboats must be very weak..."
"With the skills of the three of us, we should be able to break through..."
He said this with great confidence.
Both Black Knife and White Whip had been trained since childhood, and their combat effectiveness was obvious to all. They didn't even put the usual eight or ten Bodyguards in their eyes. With such a plan, they naturally had the confidence to break through...
Just like that...
The three people quickly shuttled through the cruise ship...
Closer...
Even closer...
"Who?"
A Bodyguard discovered them!
Swish!
Black Knife went up and struck with a knife: Hmph! He used the back of the blade! But the powerful force still caused the Bodyguard to fall to the ground instantly.
Continuing to charge forward...
Soon, Black Knife and White Whip had knocked down four or five Bodyguards in a row, and it looked like they were about to reach the location of the speedboats.
They had just rushed to a corner.
Suddenly.
Black Knife roared:
"Retreat!"
The three people instinctively retreated.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Three low gunshots exploded in the ears of Old Batou and the other two.
Guns!
There were guns!
Old Batou's expression was not very good:
No matter how high your kung fu is, you are still afraid of a kitchen knife!
Beyond seven steps, the gun is fast; within seven steps, the gun is fast and accurate!
In this era, no matter how awesome your martial arts are, they don't have as much threat as firearms.
If it were just one gun, it wouldn't be anything...
They were afraid there was more than one gun...
Swish! Swish!
Black Knife and White Whip looked at each other, then Black Knife charged out first, heading straight for the Bodyguard: The opposing Bodyguard saw Black Knife and opened fire directly. No sooner said than done, Black Knife blocked horizontally with his knife.
Clang...
The bullet hit the knife directly and was deflected away...
Bodyguard: ∑(O_O;)
Damn it!
He saw someone actually catching a bullet with a knife, his whole brain was stunned. Is this still a human?
But just as he was stunned: he saw a white shadow appear above Black Knife's head, and he flicked his whip.
The Bodyguard felt a pain in his hand:
The gun was knocked away!
Step!
Black Knife charged forward and arrived beside the Bodyguard, striking the opponent's neck without hesitation: The Bodyguard fell to the ground accordingly. The two worked together perfectly!
One gun!
In this kind of place, it didn't pose much of a threat to them!
But just as Old Batou caught up, Black Knife seemed to sense something, his expression changed wildly again:
"Hurry, hide..."
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Several gunshots hit the spot where they had just been.
Black Knife!
He also had perception beyond ordinary people. Most importantly, his ears were very sensitive and could hear further than ordinary people. Just now, he had heard the footsteps and the sound of people pulling the triggers, which is why he reacted that way.
The three people hid in a corner.
Old Batou: "What's the situation..."
Black Knife: "Seven or eight people are coming, they should all have guns in their hands... and their marksmanship seems to be very accurate..."
What?
White Whip: "So many guns? How could that be?"
Old Batou was stunned: "How can there be so many guns at an auction? There are so many rich people here, what are they trying to do..."
However, they didn't know: the cruise ship auction had both a public and a hidden side. The public auction naturally didn't need so many armed Bodyguards, but the hidden auction very much did.
After all:
If it's not a legitimate business, you have to prevent people from stealing from you!!!
