Chapter 3

Autor: Aurelia
There was a high-tech device my other brothers had managed to procure to torment people. The moment someone lied, the shock would hit them hard enough to make them lose control of their bowels.

"Throwing someone to the sharks is nothing but physical labor. Since you want some fun, why don't we play with something that can even reach into one's soul?" I said. "Let's use that."

Tiger burst out laughing and clapped his hands. "Interesting! You're so brutal! I like it! Strap her into the machine! Now, who's going to ask the question?"

Winnie jumped up at once. "Me! Me! I know her best, Captain Levin! I promise I'll make it exciting!"

Meanwhile, Hank let out a sigh of relief. "At least you know what's good for you. Don't worry. It's only a few questions. Just hang in there and it'll be over before you know it."

I shook off his hand in disgust and walked up to the chair. Then the staff placed the electrodes to my temples and my heart rate appeared on the big screen.

Winnie took the microphone and cleared her throat. "Hello, everyone! Please allow me to show you the exciting game aboard this cruise ship this evening! I'm currently at the famous club located on the top deck of the Leviathan, now sailing in the open seas! Take a good look, ladies and gentlemen! The one brave enough to ask for this electric shock version of 'Truth or Dare' is one of the ship's cleaners!"

She had even started a livestream!

Tens of thousands of viewers immediately flooded in for the drama.

[No way! This place is insane! I heard entry to the Leviathan's club costs a fortune. The ticket is worth seven digits, I think? As expected of a socialite of her level to be able to go into a club like that.]

[Wait. That woman in gray looks so familiar... Isn't that the broke ex-girlfriend who tried to steal Winnie's spotlight in her last stream?]

[That's right! It's her! Why did Hank bring her aboard? That cheap uniform ruined the whole cruise's class!]

[This is so funny! That woman will do anything for money? She wants money more than her life! Electric shock truth or dare? She has a death wish!]

[She deserves to get shocked to death! She's the one who kept bothering Hank and going after Winnie! Winnie is Hank's one true love!]

Winnie glanced at the bullet comments on the screen and smiled smugly. "First question! Lilibeth, have you ever killed someone for money?!"

The entire deck went silent.

Hank's expression shifted and yelled, "Winnie, what kind of question is that? She's just a cleaner! How could she have killed anyone?!"

Winnie ignored him and stared right into my eyes, and I met her gaze with an unreadable expression.

In my mind, I saw the armed thugs who tried to hijack my cargo ship and lay their hands on my female crew. I swung my blade and took their heads. Those images were still fresh in my mind.

"Yes," I answered calmly.

The heart rate line on the big screen flickered and the result appeared.

Truth.

Everyone on the deck went wild!

The livestream was immediately blowing up with comments.

  • I'm the Pirate Queen   Chapter 12

    I went to the Leviathan to inspect the renovations.The luxury liner had already been retrofitted into a mobile sea fortress, with all the illegal gambling and violent entertainment removed.As I passed the lower hold, a revolting stench hit me. A man in a filthy work uniform and a gas mask was bending over, struggling to clear a clogged pipe.The supervisor walked over and gave her his report. "Ms. Bell, this is the new sanitary worker. He works hard, but he's a little dim."The man turned his head when he heard the voice. Through the mask, I could still see Hank's red eyes.He froze.The shovel slipped from his hand and fell on the floor.He looked at my tailored suit and the dozens of muscular men behind me. Then he looked down at the filth covering his own body. He couldn't help but choke back a sob.I stopped and looked at him. "Hank, are you satisfied with this job? If it's too hard, you can resign. But the penalty for breaking your contract is ten million dollars."Hank

    Ignoring the pain from his broken hand, Hank crawled toward me even as he slammed his forehead against the deck again and again as he slipped until he was a bloody mess. "Lily! I know my mistakes now! I really understand my mistakes now! That witch Winnie blinded me! You're the only one I ever loved! Can you please forgive me? Please don't break up with me! I'll be your pet dog from now on. I'll do whatever you tell me!"He reached out with his good hand, trying to grab my leg.Grant glared at him and kicked Hank straight at his chest, sending him rolling across the deck. "You think you can touch the captain with those filthy hands? You have a death wish or something?"I looked at Hank coldly as he twitched on the deck. "I gave you a chance, Hank. You were the one who threw it away. From the moment you chose to put me into that shark tank, you were already dead to me."The mood in the livestream changed at once.[Hank's a complete idiot! He threw away the Pirate Queen for an idiot

    A genuine smile finally appeared on my face as I looked at my crew. "Get up. This past year must have been miserable for you, huh?"The leader of them, Grant, scratched the back of his head before giving me a sheepish grin. "It must have been tough for you, Captain! This sorry excuse of a ship isn't worthy enough for you to clean their toilets! But all of us have followed your rules exactly. We've been legally hauling and moving cargo for the past year. We didn't even rob a single seagull!"He pulled a thick stack of wrinkled certificates from his jacket. "Look, Captain. We have a captain's license, a first mate's license, we got all of them! We're a legitimate shipping company now!"I nodded, satisfied. "Well done. Regardless, I've won the bet. From now on, we're going to make money the legal way."Hank was still sprawling on the deck, staring at me like he was looking at someone beyond his understanding. His mind had already stopped working. "Lily... You... You're really a pirate

    "Lilibeth... What... What have you been hiding from me?" Hank said as I looked down at him like the trash he was."Hiding from you? I never hid anything from you. You were the one who was blind," I said.Just then, deafening roars came from over the ship in the air. Three heavily armed helicopters hovered above the ship and their rotor blades kicked up a violent gale.At the same time, more than a dozen black speedboats fitted with heavy machine guns appeared across the surrounding sea.All of them completely surrounded the luxury liner in an instant!Rows of black gun barrels swung toward the deck in unison and the crowd broke into panicked screams.Hank's legs gave out again as Winnie's eyes rolled back and almost fainted on the spot.The viewers in the livestream lost their composure too as the screen was filled up by exclamation marks.The helicopters' jump doors opened and tag lines dropped one after another as sixteen muscular men landed steadily on the deck. They were th

    "You... You're..." Kaplan stammered so badly he could not finish his sentence.I sighed, stepped forward, and patted him lightly on the shoulder. Kaplan was one of the men I had saved, so he had always had deep feelings for me.Twelve years ago, when he was still just a minor pirate captain, he was kidnapped by a group of ruthless mercenaries. They demanded one hundred million dollars in ransom and planned to kill him after they got the money.I took three of our brothers and slipped aboard under cover of night. I fought from the front of the ship to the back with a combat knife, and tossed him onto a lifeboat like a lost child.During the year I was gone, Kaplan was the one who had searched everywhere for any news regarding my whereabouts."Captain, where have you been? Everyone has been looking for you all over the place..." Kaplan said as he sobbed. Everyone stared and was shocked to see his legs give out as he fell on his knees in front of me!Stanley's pistol slipped from hi

    Stanley suddenly opened his mouth as he stared at my back, his brows furrowed tightly as I was marched to the shark tank. "Kaplan, something's off about this woman's reaction."I never begged or screamed for mercy from the very beginning. Even my breathing stayed steady. No ordinary cleaner could possess that kind of mental fortitude."What's off? She's just scared stiff!" Kaplan said as he waved him off. "Stanley, you're too suspicious. I've seen plenty of people put on an act like this."They dragged me to the edge of the shark tank with lead weights pulled at my ankles, and the sea breeze hit my face with the scent of blood."Lilibeth, go to hell!" Winnie suddenly rushed over. The moment the bodyguards let go, she shoved me hard.I dropped straight into the freezing seawater as I lost control of my body, and three huge tiger sharks closed in on me. But I did not hold my breath. I simply let the oxygen in my lungs run out slowly.I was waiting for the last second.The ropes we
