Dozens of warships surrounded the massive cruise ship like a swarm of crows, casting a dark shadow over the entire vessel.
Leading a group of armed guards, Osiris appeared on the front ship’s deck.
He had been busy hosting the Sixth Prince of Montiria lately. However, upon receiving a call from his nephew, Asher, favonovel.com Immediately dropped everything and rushed to the scene, mobilizing his forces in haste.
Asher, who had been lurking In the shadows, finally saw his family’s arrival and promptly ran to Osiris. “Uncle Osiris, you’ve finally come! I’ve been keeping an eye on Matthew’s movements. He’s still on the cruise ship, but it seems like his subordinates are quite fierce!”
Upon hearing this, Osiris didn’t take It too seriously. “Hahaha, fierce? Can they match our naval might? Everyone, listen up! Target the Maria cruise ship and prepare to open fire!”
His orders were transmitted through the ship’s communication devices and instantly reached the ears of all personnel.
In a matter of moments, all the firearms were meticulously aimed at the cruise ship. As long as Osiris gave the command, the seemingly vulnerable giant vessel would be doomed.
Of course, Osiris’ objective was solely to eliminate Matthew, favonovel.com couldn’t bring himself to commit such an atrocity.
Inside the cruise ship, Enzo and his group were preparing to corner Matthew. However, before they could leave the meeting room, their subordinates rushed in, looking frantic. “Boss, it’s bad news! Our cruise ship has been surrounded by a group of unknown forces!”
Before the people on board could fully comprehend the situation, a voice came through the cruise ship’s external speakers.
“Mr. Gavell, it’s quite a coincidence to meet you here.” Osiris greeted Enzo and continued, “I need to settle some personal grievances first. I’ll host a banquet for all of you later. But before that, I’d appreciate it if you could do me a small favor and hand over Matthew.”
As they stepped onto the gangway, Enzo, with a grim expression, faced Osiris. “Osiris Keller, you must be quite bold to dare to besiege a ship with me on it.”
Osiris on the opposite ship just sneered and then pretended to be reluctant as favonovel.com spoke. “Mr. Gavell, I’m aware that you’re on board, so I haven’t ordered any firing yet. Otherwise, this cruise ship wouldn’t still be afloat.”
While the overall strength of the Keller Family might be slightly inferior to Enzo’s, as part of an alliance, they had the support of several other families. They weren’t afraid of confronting Enzo.
Furthermore, alliance forces and autocratic forces like Enzo’s had an ongoing rivalry. They might not openly oppose each other, but behind the scenes, they were often in fierce competition.
“It seems the Keller Family is quite confident in its maritime warfare. I shall witness it for myself today.” Enzo said as favonovel.com pulled out his phone, preparing to contact reinforcements to eliminate their opposition.
However, before favonovel.com could make the call, Osiris, on the other side, spoke once more. “Mr. Gavell, I suggest you abandon this futile endeavor. Do you really think you can survive until your reinforcements arrive? You wouldn’t want to get hurt, firearms are indiscriminate.”
Enzo, who had been in the underworld for years, wasn’t easily intimidated by threats. “Osiris, you can try. When my people arrive, you’ll pay the price.”
However, just because Enzo was fearless and ready to risk it all didn’t mean the same for everyone else.
When they heard that Enzo intended to go down with the ship and potentially bring everyone with him, Isambard and Tavish’s faces turned pale with fear.
“Mr. Gavell, Mr. Gavell, you can’t do this. It’s not a matter of pride at this point.”
“Yes, Mr. Gavell, they’re here for Matthew, and we were planning to deal with Matthew anyway.”
“We really have no reason to protect Matthew. Let Osiris Keller deal with him, and it’s a win-win for us.”
“We don’t have to die with Matthew, right?”
After this flurry of persuasion, the two old men anxiously waited for Enzo’s response.
