*Knock* *Knock*
Ironhorn furrowed his brows, staring at the door. "Come in!"
Eloise opened the door, cautiously checking the surroundings before locking it from inside.
Ironhorn glanced at her disdainfully while controlling and navigating his ship. "If you're here to kill me, you've chosen the wrong person, girl."
"I'm not here to kill you. I'm here to make a deal with you."
"Hmmm." Ironhorn set the ship to autopilot, turning to Eloise. Squinting, he said, "I guess this plan doesn't involve your friends."
"Yes, nobody must hear of the agreement between me and you."
"And what may that be?"
"I want you to take us to the underworld."
Ironhead froze. Turning back, he shook his head and said, "Although I am a greedy person, I am not wicked. Why would you want to go to the wasteland? You do know that it is a land of no return, right? It's hell over there. I don't know the reason why you want to go there, but I won't let you destroy your friends' lives. There is no law over there; the strong feast over the weak. It is a world of crimes."
"I know of all these things. It's why I want to go. The human settlement will be boring. But in a place without law, we would be free to do as we like... And I will pay you any amount," Eloise said, stepping forward and holding Ironhead's hand.
"Go away, you devil. I'm not interested in your money," Ironhead said, turning his face away. However, his expression froze when he felt his hand on her chest. Eloise was trying to force herself on him. He quickly removed his hand and faced the other way. "Go away, kid. You will regret if you go down this path."
He tried his best to advise Eloise, but she was too stubborn to listen. She had already made up her mind about what she was going to do. Eloise hated the fact that she had to use her body to satisfy a satyr, and an old one at that, but she had to do it. To get what she wanted, she had to make use of what she had.
Ironhorn continued driving his ship with an absentminded expression. He had never had a woman in thirty years.
Eloise wouldn't give up on her plans so easily; she had come too far for it to fail. She removed her clothes and hugged Ironhorn. The latter was also turned on; he couldn't resist the warmth of a human woman.
Thirty minutes later.
Walking past the control room, Moris tried to peep inside but couldn't see anything through the dense glass. Giving up, he withdrew and went back to his room. He needed a good sleep before they reached their destination. In fact, everyone had fallen asleep, except for two people. In the control room, it was a different scene. Ironhorn and Eloise were in a heated session. Ironhorn was having a good time, but Eloise was having the opposite. He was too rough for her, occasionally biting her excitedly. She also had to endure the stench coming off him.
After seven hours of sleeping, Moris opened his eyes, shielding them from the sun's rays. "Eh." His head buzzed as he looked around. All of them were lying on the shore, their bodies wet. It was obvious they had been swept there by the sea. He quickly woke up the others and explained the situation to them.
"That mother fucker!!! He sabotaged us and ran with our money," Eliza swore angrily. All of them were extremely angry at Ironhorn for abandoning them there.
"Shh, someone is coming," Leo hushed the group as he grabbed his bo staff. The only thing he was thankful for was that Ironhorn tied their weapons around them before throwing them into the water. Even Phil had his walking stick tied around his back. Everybody untied their weapons as they waited silently. Running was not an option as footsteps were coming from every angle. Five men holding machetes came to surround them. The leader was walking casually at the back, holding a club half his size.
Looking around, Leo realized they were only six, no more or less. He stood up and said gently and respectfully, "We are sorry if we stepped upon your land. We didn't mean to do so; we were only washed here by the sea."
The men didn't even reply to him nor did they look at him. Instead, their eyes roamed the girls' bodies lustfully. The leader pointed his club towards Heidi and said, "This one is for me, you guys can share the rest. As for the boys, kill them and dispose of their bodies in the sea."
The group of bandits quickly got to work; two of them attacked Moris and Phil, while the other two attacked Leo, Ethan, and the girls. For those experienced bandits, the boys' tricks and spins were mere jokes. They saw through their tricks immediately. In no time, the four boys were beaten and tied to a tree.
"You are going to watch as we play with your girls as you burn alive, hahahahaha."
The bandit leader stepped forward and approached Heidi, "I have had thousands of women on my bed since the day I was born. I have also seen hundreds of thousands of them, yet I have never seen one with such a beautiful face and perfect body as yours."
He was first attracted to Isabelle when he arrived; it was rare seeing such beauty. But the moment he saw Heidi, his world turned around. She was a gem, one in a billion beauty.
He was about to touch Heidi when a flash blinded him. In fact, all of them were blinded for a second by the light. When they opened their eyes, they were shocked to see another person standing a few meters away from them.
"ZAID."
