Chapter 20: A Voyage in a Storm

A gunshot rang out.

The bullets from the sniper rifle then go exactly where the card is about to go.

However, before the interception was successful, the cards that had been taken off seemed to violate the laws of physics, and made an arc out of thin air, as if wearing a flower butterfly, elegantly avoiding the fate of being shot down.

At the moment of the confrontation, Capenbecky only noticed that Miss Lily beside Douglas waved her arm slightly, and the paper poker accelerated again, flying towards his face!

The blood clots, and the hairs rise.

The horror of life and death caused the godfather to gasp, but at the last moment, the gunslingers in the castle did not let Capenbecki fall into a desperate situation.

The second bullet that flew out of the eye socket accurately captured the card that changed the line and advanced, and in the end, it was the same as when we first met, and it perfectly defused the killing attempt aimed at the godfather.

"Beautifully guarded."

A missed move, but Douglas had no intention of continuing the pursuit, he sincerely praised his opponent, and then let Capenbecky adjust his posture and re-set up the muzzle.

"You bastard..."

"Godfather Capone, do you like magic?"

"What are you talking nonsense!?"

"Looks like you don't like it." Douglas shook his head, "Then you probably didn't know that there is such a type in the classification of card magic - a card that has been lost, but then appears in the hands of the audience when it turns its head." ”

Douglas took off Albert's collar... After this series of events, he believed that this clever thief should be able to recognize his own position and habits, and not do anything to escape.

Then the boy turned his gaze to the breast pocket of Capenbergi's blazer.

Guided by him, Capenbecki also subconsciously glanced down... In the place where the corsage was originally pinned, a thin card was lying there for some time.

Although he couldn't see the cards from his vantage point, the Godfather immediately remembered the King of Spades that he had almost taken his head!

“!?”

There was momentary consternation, but Douglas didn't give him time to react.

With a crisp snap of his fingers, a magic flame similar to when he blew up the floor suddenly ignited from Capenbergi's chest!

Admittedly, compared to the fire ignited by the general Akaiu or the Fire Fist Ace, this flame that continues to burn does not have such terrifying destructive power.

But even if it's just an ordinary flame, suddenly exploding in someone's chest is still enough to cause a lot of trauma!

The godfather, wrapped in flames, screamed and released more subordinates from his body transformed by the castle fruit, and everyone hurriedly helped Becky extinguish the fire in various ways, and for a while there was no time to channel Glass's movements.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the boy and Lily climbed behind Albert, who had reverted back to his vulture form, and then the big bird soared into the sky with a wave of its wings!

… At the moment, Douglas has every chance to take advantage of the advantage to complete the knife and end Capenbecki's life, but he chose to leave directly.

Because in his current state, he needs Capenbergi alive more than to get rid of an opponent who doesn't pose much of a threat.

Only if he is alive as a godfather can he continue to lead the Capone gang to fight and survive on Scampala Island, which is naturally tantamount to distracting the attention of potential enemies for the boy army in disguise.

"But if you kill him, you will be able to make a name for yourself in the gangster world in the West Sea."

Albert, who quickly flew low in the air, landed again and turned back into a human form after confirming that he had abandoned his pursuers - the combination of two people and one bird was too eye-catching on Scampara Island, not to mention, the next move of the boys' army was planned to take place underground.

Douglas: "It doesn't make sense, we are attached to the Osiris family, unlike those self-made guys who need to rely on fame to accumulate popularity and maintain power. ”

The boy replied casually, not meaning to put the collar back on Albert. He turned to Lily and said, "Did you find Hagrid?" ”

Lily nodded, and took the paper airplane back to the folder: "It's under this landscape tunnel." ”

Douglas: "Very well, let's go find the big army." ”

In the early days of the Golden Rose, Douglas had left a way out for the Boys' Army, and after three years of development, this secret passageway, which was deliberately hidden next to the island's underground river sightseeing route, led directly to the coast.

And except for the high-ranking members of the Boys' Army, everyone else who knows the secret here has been sunk to the bottom of the sea forever...

Today, Scampara Island has become a hell of gangsters, and Douglas... Or maybe the conspiracy of the Osiris family has succeeded. The next thing the boy has to think about is how to escape quickly and safely from this place of right and wrong.

And in this regard, he has already made a plan.

… Remember when he returned to the island from his trip with Miss Freira, Douglas confirmed Hagrid about ships and storms?

As the finest marine meteorologist in the cadet army, Wright's most important job in recent times was to prepare for the stormy sailing.

It turned out that Douglas's choice of this time to convene the so-called negotiations was not just the result of the intensification of tensions caused by the drug business... To be more precise, all of this was actually under the deliberate control of the teenager, and it was only at this special point in time that the storm was about to envelop Scampala Island that it came to the brink of eruption.

Douglas had long planned to cause a terrible riot on the island, and he needed to use the storm to temporarily turn Scampala into an isolated island.

Only in this way will the navy and the government not be able to send troops to intervene in this incident in the first place.

Only in this way will the slaughter between the four major families not end prematurely due to the influence of external factors.

Only in this way can he have enough results to claim a higher status and power within the Osiris family!

Of course... Doing such a thing will inevitably lead to an indefinite increase in the damage to Scampala Island, and the deaths and injuries of civilians and innocents will be exacerbated by the lack of timely rescue.

And about this, Douglas chose not to talk about it.

On the large ship, which was barely out to sea, the sailors of the Young Army followed Wright's instructions, nervously steered the sails and steering wheels, and headed away from the island while the storm had not yet fully demonstrated the power of nature.

But there was no fear on their faces, and there was excitement and excitement in everyone's eyes!

For they had left the island as victors, for their leader stood there steadfastly in the bow of the great ship, not moving a single step from beginning to end.

The roar of the rain and the tide could not hide his voice, and to the accompaniment of the thunder, the boy spoke in a slightly hoarse voice, as if he was challenging the whole sea.

- "Let the storm come harder!" ”
