Chapter 1

"Hank! You swore you would never put me in danger the day we got together! And now you want to throw me at the sharks in the tank?" I questioned Hank Smith as I listened to his demand.Hank would not meet my eyes as he stammered, "Lilibeth, Winnie has asthma. She can't handle any shock. You work hard labor every day and have great stamina. Holding your breath for five minutes is nothing to you. Not to mention…"He then lowered his voice as he continued. "If you make it back alive, Captain Levin said the reward is two hundred thousand dollars! That's a ton of cash for a cleaner like you. You can't even afford any decent makeup. Can't you just consider this as making some money for our future?"A chill went down my spine.Our future?It was more likely he wanted to get me killed in a hurry so he could build one with Winnie Lynch.I tossed the rag on the deck and moved my wrist. "And if I refuse?"Winnie let out a gasp at this perfect moment. "Hank, why is Lilibeth being so petty?

"What are you waiting for? Which one of you is going into the shark tank?!" A man roared on the stage.I looked at the vicious man on stage and let out a sigh. That was the infamous pirate captain, Captain Kaplan Levin. He was one of those brothers and I called him Tiger as his nickname.Luckily, his eyesight had always been poor. He likely did not recognize me with different makeup and the cleaners' uniform.Tiger kicked over the gaming table in front of him, and Winnie trembled out of fear as she hid behind Hank the best she could. "Hank, I'm scared. That scarface is so terrifying..."Hank extended his arm around her and patted her shoulder, calming her down. Then he turned and shot me with an impatient look."Lilibeth, get down there already!" Hank growled in a low voice. "If you waste another second and make Captain Levin angry, forget about the two hundred thousand dollars, all of us will be dragged down with you!"Make Captain Levin angry?Years ago, I booted Tiger straigh

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 mic

"Has that woman gone mad! She's admitting to murder in front of everyone out in the open?""Look at how badly she's dressed. She's probably the type who would stab someone for only a hundred dollars!""How did someone this dangerous even get on board? Is the ship's security that lax?"Hank staggered back in fear and shock. "Lilibeth... You... You have really committed murder? No wonder you're always so cold. What kind of a monster are you?"I looked at his cowardly face and felt nothing but disdain in my heart. Everyone I killed were animals that deserved it. That included the thugs who once tried to kidnap him. That day, I came back covered in blood and told him I had slipped while cleaning. He looked at me disgusted and told me to wash up quickly.Meanwhile, that idiot Tiger was rubbing his hands together, thrilled. "Hot dang! This woman has teeth! Winnie, keep going! Drag everything out into the light!"Winnie no longer bothered to hide the malice on her face thanks to the enc

Explain?In ten more minutes, we would be people from two different worlds. What was there left for me to explain to a man like you?"And the third question?" I leaned back into the chair and prompted Winnie lazily.Winnie's eyes moved around as she said, "Third question!"She pulled a dull gray conch shell from Hank's pocket, its surface carved with strange patterns. "Lilibeth, this piece of trash is what you gave Hank for his birthday last month! You lied and told him it was some family heirloom, but really you picked it out of a trash heap by the shore, didn't you? You're just a gold digger, trying to mooch off Hank!"The moment the conch shell came out, Kaplan's amused expression suddenly wavered. He frowned, as if trying to remember something while keeping his stare on the conch.Meanwhile, the livestream comments were already tearing me apart.[This is hilarious. She gave him a conch shell for his birthday? What was she thinking?][Even if she's poor, she could at least b

"We don't start with someone dropped into the tank immediately," the man said as he spun a silver revolver in his hand. "By the rules of the Leviathan Club, we play a game of chance before going into the tank."Stanley Umbra shoved over a revolver loaded with a single bullet. "Put it to your temple and pull the trigger. If it doesn't go off, you get into the water. If it does, we'll feed you to the sharks directly."Hank's face turned white, but he still put on a brave face. "It's fine. Lilibeth has always been hard to kill. Her luck has always been good."He then turned to me, his voice stiff. "I guess this also counts as a once in a lifetime opportunity. You'll get two hundred thousand dollars if you pull the trigger and survive. You need to take advantage of it."The bullet comments on the livestream scrolled by even faster.[That cleaner is dead for sure! She's doomed if she pulls the trigger!][She's betting her life for two hundred thousand dollars? She's insane!][Hank is

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

"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

"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

Chapter 10

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
