When the people’s anger had completely dissipated.
The captain, who had been hanging in mid-air, and the bearded man were now devoid of bones.
And the ropes that had firmly tied them were now only stained with blood.
One by one they fell silent after venting their anger.
For it was clear in their hearts that it was Shark One’s turn to speak next.
Shark One’s gaze looked at all of them and said calmly.
“Everyone has suffered this year.”
“From now on, the field properties that were originally yours will remain yours.”
“Those that are unowned …… you can discuss the distribution yourselves.”
The unowned fields and properties in the shark’s mouth were naturally those.
The things of the slaves who had already died from abuse.
That was why his voice could not remain calm even as he uttered these words.
Suddenly, a thin, bony old man stepped out from among the crowd.
His dark, rough skin was streaked with whip marks.
When they saw the old man step out, most of the slaves’ faces showed respect.
“Agong.”
This old man was the one who now had the highest seniority on this island.
Agong’s somewhat weary gaze looked at Shark One and said somewhat hoarsely.
“I’ve met you before, being his second-in-command.”
Shark One nodded, acknowledging his identity.
He had been the Captain’s second-in-command before.
Many people on the island had met him.
So there was no need at all for Shark One to hide his identity.
Seeing Shark One’s admission, the old man continued.
“Then Mr. Deputy, can you prove it to us.”
“Do you really intend to leave us alone completely, or do you intend to continue to squeeze us in a different way?”
The gong’s words were spoken without a hint of euphemism.
This caused a look of worry to appear on the faces of each of the hans behind him.
Would Agong’s words spoken in such a straightforward manner anger the other side?
They had long been unafraid of death.
But they were afraid that this elder, who had always been amiable and very fair, would be killed by the other side.
One of the strong men in the body had already quietly taken up a stone in his hand.
People like them had long since lived numbly.
Even if they lived any longer it would still be the same.
If this group of guys dared to touch Ah Gong, even if they had to fight for their names.
They would definitely take each other to the same death.
Shark One’s eyes and the old man’s eyes locked in mid-air.
After a long time.
“I, Shark One, promise that if I use any means to maim you afterwards.”
“Then I shall fall into the Infernal Purgatory after my death and suffer all kinds of torture on earth.”
At Shark One’s words, Ah Gong’s gaze, which had been staring at him, moved away.
“Then on behalf of the 8,321 mouths of our island, I will thank Deputy Shark One.”
“I think those seven thousand one hundred and forty-eight mouths will also be smiling from the grave when they learn of this.”
Looking at the old man’s back past his body, which was already somewhat hunched over.
A solemn look flashed across Shark One’s eyes.
He understood why this old man was revered by so many people.
When their Shark Clan had counted the number of people before, they had only counted out over 15,000 people.
As for the exact number they were not at all sure.
Even the number of slaves to Shark One now was unknown, and could only be guaranteed at eight thousand.
And this grandfather was actually able to clearly state how many there were.
And this was the memory of an old man who was close to a hundred years old ……
Shark One looked at the old man’s departing back.
For the first time, he felt a sense of sadness surround the entire island.
Shark One’s gaze then looked at everyone behind him.
“From today onwards we will stay at the harbour.”
“Everyone start tomorrow to reclaim the surrounding wasteland and grow food to raise creatures.”
“If I find out that someone is still secretly going to scourge them ……”
A cold light flashed in Shark One’s eyes.
“Kill!”
