979 Pirate Spy

Isomi, whose vision was blinded by blood trickling down his face, lowered his head vigilantly and dared not look at the masked Master K.

Even while working undercover here, he had never seen Master K's true face before.

In fact, he doubted if anyone had ever seen his true face.

Isomi knew that he had to think fast, or else it would be game over for him.

No way!

With many of the temple bases destroyed, how could he pass this opportunity to inform the pirate organization?

With the temple hit hard, this was the organization's time to deliver the finishing blow.

He couldn't afford to die now!

Hundreds and thousands of years ago, this same temple tricked the Pirates, forcing them to lose countless members and reside in Morgany.

And over the years, both parties had been fighting against each other ever since.

So now that the pirates finally had the upper hand, he would be a fool not to inform them.

As for him, he was a pirate land-walker assigned to the Spy/assassin branch within the organization.

One should know that pirates assigned to headquarters hardly took in the life of sailing on the seas.

They were known as Land-walkers or Land Pirates.

The organization itself carried out several missions in different continents and empires.

So these people would always leave to gather information or carry out specific missions paid by the royals, nobles and even the organization.

In short, Land Pirates carried out all land-related missions while Sea pirates covered water-based missions instead.

At times, both would work together.

But many times, they worked individually instead.

Additionally, because Land pirates needed to look and blend in with ordinary folks, they didn't wear or do some of the flashy things that sea pirates did.

One would've never guessed them to be pirates.

Apart from the Spy/assassin department, they also had other departments that focused on paperwork, restricting those travelling around the seas.

There were also departments focused on managing the organization's money, needs, and so on

In short, the organization worked like an enormous beehive where everyone knew their duties.

Isomi was very determined to get the message across fast.

As for Master K, his mind was focused on revenge!

He calmly smiled at Isomi as if unbothered by the fact that he was a pirate and steadily approached him before stopping right beside him.

"Isomi Fernard. You have 2 choices right now.

Either Die or tell us everything you know about the organization.

From how they managed to destroy several bases, to where their members typically hide, to their building layouts, and even small details like what they eat... we want to know all you know.

If you should choose to come out clean, you'll only receive heavy punishment and not death.

You choose."

-Silence-

Everyone fell in complete silence while looking at Isomi in disgust.

How dare he betray them?

Everyone clenched their first feeling that his excellency Master K was too kind.

If they were the ones, they wouldn't dare keep such a bastard alive, even if he finally confessed all they wanted to know.

As for Isomi, his mind went to work fast.

At first, he thought of lying.

But with how smart these temple people are, they wouldn't let him leave this place until they properly investigated all you said.

Then, he thought about other tactics to use.

But in the face of Master K, could those tricks still work?

Isomi truly felt helpless, as he had the strong urge to survive.

He wanted nothing more than to eliminate these stinky Temple people.

So even though he would get caught down the line, Isomi decided to send these bastards on a wild goose chase instead.

In truth, Isomi also believed that the destruction of the bases was done by the Pirate organization.

But just in case it wasn't, he still had to send the word out by any means necessary.

Isomi's throat rolled impatiently: "Y-yy-your excellency. I'm willing. I'm willing. I'm willing to say all that I know!"

"Oh? How cooperative of you.

Were you not the one shouting a moment ago that we should kill you instead?

So why the change of heart?"

Isomi quickly placed his bloodied hands on the ground while on his knees and bowed several times to Master K: "I -I-I-I-I just don't want to die! Please give me another chance, your excellency!"

Master K looked at him and chuckled.

"Hahahahhahahaha.

Isomi Fernard.

Apart from pirates, do you know the thing I hate more than a traitor?

It's a captured traitor who likes playing games.

Do you think that I can't see those petty thoughts of yours?"

Boom!

Isomi flew backwards in pain.

~Plugh.

He spat even more blood as he felt his chin dislocated.

Master K had given him a wicked chick straight before his chin.

His hands trembled heavily as he tried to carry his already painful body from the ground.
