The mask belonged to Jack.
Jack squinted as he sized up the man before him.
The man looked like Ethan, but Ethan had a larger frame.
Jack's gaze then fell on Logan's face.
It was a very plain face.
Jack had never seen it before.
Was he not one of the assassins sent to kill him? “Do you know me?" Yes.
That was Jack's voice.
Logan took a few steps forward and grabbed his collar.
He said coldly, "Spit it out.
Why are you here?" Jack thought the man's attitude was weird.
If he was one of the assassins after his life, they would have put a bullet through his head by now.
They wouldn't ask silly questions.
Who was this man? Logan's kick from before had landed on Jack's wound and caused the wound to reopen.
Blood started to flow and stain his shirt.

here!" Acold gleam flashed in Logan's eyes.
So they crossed paths with pirates after all? Those scum.
Outside, the sound of sailors running around followed.
Even though they were just on a regular cargo ship, they were still armed with some weapons.
Back when pirates were rampant in the area, everyone had to pick up some skills in order to survive.
But the pirates had just been eliminated a few years ago and peace returned to the area for a bit.
But now, the pirates were back.
Logan immediately tied Jack up and threw him aside.
"Stay put." Then, he quickly left.
No matter what Jack's goal was, he would never hurt Olivia.
He wasn't a threat compared to the pirates.
Jack was only thinking about the two children.
Damn it.
Why would pirates appear at that very moment? Tobias was playing with the two children in his room.
He noticed that despite being young, they were very intelligent.
They were very mature too, more mature than children their age should ever be.
"Genius! You're an utter genius, Zack," Tobias said.
He had only intended to teach Zack how to play chess to pass the time.
But he didn't expect Zack to pick up the game so quickly.
It had only been a few days since Zack learned the game, but Tobias was no longer a match for him.
Tobias would be ridiculed if word got out that he lost at chess to a child who was barely three years old.
As for Alicia, she didn't like to play chess.
Rather, she enjoyed using his computer.
Other kids their age couldn't even count to three, but these two had already built an extensive vocabulary.
Zack moved a piece on the board.
It was a checkmate.
He had ended the game in less than five minutes.
Tobias was beyond excited.
He knew that Zack would be able to make a name for himself if he was given a proper education.
Before Tobias could pester Zack for another game, a commotion was heard outside the room.
"B-bad news, captain! Pirates are here!" The door was pushed open with a "bang".
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmA frightened young sailor stood at the entrance.
This sailor hadn't been on the ship for too long.
He had only seen peaceful days.
He had never seen such chaos.
The smile on Tobias' face faded.
"Don't piss yourself.
It's too late to run.
We can only face them head-on." He put down the chess piece he was holding.
Then, he patted both the children on their heads.
“Be good.
Stay here and don't go out.
I'll protect you." Alicia tugged on his sleeve worriedly.
''P-please don't go." "Silly child, I'm the captain.
I have to be there for my crew.
Don't be afraid.
I promised I would bring you ashore."
