Chapter 18 Unexpected Turn Of Events

Alex was surprised seeing that pirate leader in possession of a graded weapon. Alex then thought about his graded Bow, he might have to use it now if things go south.

Donald also had to come to their terms; Captain Torrento was not someone to be belittled, he was known to be a vicious fellow who controlled a large area of water around these clusters of island.

Just as Donald was going to tell Joe to bring a little above 50 gold coins, he heard that pirate leader say again "Oh, and give those 5 women to us with the money. Don't worry we will give them back tomorrow morning."

The five women which they ha
