Chapter 282: Chapter 280: The Babbling Captive

Looking at the miserable state of the people around and the bullet holes in the sliding door of the balcony, Eddie curiously walked over to Mountain Eagle and sized him up, saying, "You actually won?"

As he spoke, Eddie looked at the Dotted Woman whose skirt had been lifted to her chest, her body twitching stiffly as if electrocuted, and whose face was now unrecognizable, he hissed, "This is too cruel of you!"

Mountain Eagle, holding his old rib injury that was agitated by the excessive movement, said grumpily, "I’d like to give them a lollipop, but would they listen?"

Eddie, with a smirk, sighed at Mountain Eagle’s ruthlessness and then voluntarily crouched on the balcony to collect the weapons from the opponents, meanwhile he searched the bodies of two unlucky fellows.

As Eddie was groping the Dotted Woman, Mountain Eagle wanted to despise this pervert, but when he found a wire from her hair, spikes from her hairpin, and a cotton-shaped medicine box from her lower body, Mountain Eagle gave the old man a thumbs up...

"What the hell kind of person is this?"

Eddie didn’t answer Mountain Eagle’s question, he carefully examined the Dotted Woman’s body, then removed her high heels, broke the heel to reveal a hidden blade within...

After making sure there were no other items, Eddie looked at the Dotted Woman’s obviously crippled right arm, shook his head regretfully, pulled up her skirt to cover her, and then began searching the man in white...

Similarly, from head to heel, Mountain Eagle was surprised to find that this guy had several knives hidden on him.

A knife hidden inside the belt buckle, a knife inside the pendant of a necklace, a knife in the sole of a shoe, and even a knife inside a ring when pushed open.

Looking at Eddie taking off the triangular ring knife from the left index finger of the man in white and playing with it on his hand, Mountain Eagle said in awe, "The cruise ship’s security check is too loose, this guy wouldn’t pass an airport security check..."

Eddie, enamored with the ring knife, shook his head and said, "These are all ceramic, metal detectors can’t detect them.

Stick it on the back of your balls with double-sided tape, and you could board any plane."

Mountain Eagle looked at Eddie like looking at a freak, saying, "I’d rather charter an M·A flight than wear a blade there on a plane."

Eddie shrugged and said, "What if there’s someone you want to kill on the plane?"

"I can kill anyone without a knife..."

As he spoke, Mountain Eagle was amused by his own child-like words and then said, "You mean, they are assassins?"

Eddie humorously gathered up the messy things with his foot and said, "Isn’t it obvious?"

Mountain Eagle nodded, turned back and pulled out several cable ties to give to Eddie, while tying up Tomokazu Miura on the bed and saying, "Then we have to tie them up properly?

In my whole life, I’ve never seen someone carry so many knives on their person, these assassins must be quite professional, I need to ask them a few questions.

Assassins and pirates, what exactly do they want to do?"

Having tied up the unfortunate Miura, Mountain Eagle walked to the left side of the balcony, rummaged near some potted plants, and found a satellite phone.

After opening it, apart from one missed call, there was only one other number.

Mountain Eagle took out his own phone, called Tessa, and described the situation here, then sent the number hoping Thai Police could try to trace it.

Judging from Tessa’s tone, it was clear that tracing a satellite phone was extremely difficult, but Mountain Eagle didn’t get discouraged and also informed Mr. Poincaré to see if the hacker Zorn had any other methods.

However, the hacker gave feedback that didn’t meet Mountain Eagle’s needs...

It’s not that it couldn’t be traced, but to track and locate this phone, they first needed a lot of time to hack into the carrier’s system, and then attempt to locate the user when they make a call.

This undertaking required resources and time, which Thailand and Mountain Eagle didn’t have.

But Mountain Eagle was not disheartened, having captured three bomb suspects, as long as he could confirm there were no more accomplices on the cruise, he could declare the cruise’s bomb threat over.

As for what these assassins truly wanted, he would find out by asking!

After ending the external call, Mountain Eagle dragged the unconscious Miura into the bathroom and dumped him in the bathtub.

He used zip ties to bind his feet to the faucet, letting his upper body lie flat on the bottom of the tub.

Lifting the shower head, he turned on the cold water and poured it onto the guy’s face, and soon he reacted...

"Cough, cough, cough..."

Miura kept coughing, spitting out a large amount of blood from his nose, he struggled desperately, but found his hands tied behind his back, suppressed by his own body, rendering him unable to break free.

Mountain Eagle looked at the gradually sober Miura, whose eyes revealed fear, and he closed the drain of the tub, then turned on the tap.

As the cold water flowed down Miura’s legs into the tub, gradually rising, the guy desperately struggled a few times, then cried in broken English, "Don’t kill me, don’t kill me, I know nothing..."

Mountain Eagle sat on the edge of the tub, patiently watching the water level rise over Miura’s ears...

"If you know nothing, then you’re useless!"

Miura struggled to sit up, stretching his neck to keep his head above water, looking at Mountain Eagle with a mocking expression on his face, he said in panic, "I’ll talk, I’ll talk, turn off the water, turn off the water..."

Mountain Eagle was in no rush, he slightly reduced the water flow and extended his hand towards Miura, saying: "Speak..."

Miura was momentarily stunned, replying: "Speak about what?"

With a smile, Mountain Eagle said: "Obviously, whatever you know. Do you want me to ask specific questions?"

At this, Miura’s expression fluctuated uneasily as he looked at Mountain Eagle and asked: "Who exactly are you?"

Grinning broadly, Mountain Eagle responded: "I’m a CIA agent from the United States, and we have been monitoring you for a while.

You might have heard of our methods; water torture is merely an appetizer, we are very cruel!"

Upon hearing this, Miura’s gaze shifted unnaturally as he said: "My name is Tomokazu Miura, and I’m the cabin supervisor on the Diamond Queen...

A few months ago, someone approached me to recruit two individuals into the cruise’s service department...

I really didn’t know what they were up to, and I got terrified when the Pirates came..."

Hearing this, Mountain Eagle shook his head slightly and turned the water to its maximum level.

As the water level rose, Miura was forced to bend forward desperately to keep his head above water.

Mountain Eagle didn’t lift a finger; he just patiently watched. Soon, as the water level rose, and his core body strength faltering, Miura began to ingest water.

With poor core strength, Miura couldn’t last long. The torment of tearing pain in his abdomen and the agony of water running into his trachea through his nose was excruciating.

When the water reached an awkward angle, Mountain Eagle turned off the tap and, looking at Miura stretching his neck to keep his nose and mouth above water, he said with a smile: "I’ll give you another chance..."

Miura was deliberately chosen because Mountain Eagle was certain that his physical conditioning and habits didn’t indicate professional training.

Facing immense pressure, such people can’t hold out for long.

Indeed, as Miura went from drinking to choking on water, and his body convulsed in the water like being electrocuted trying desperately to breathe, he broke down...

By then, he was completely unable to speak, and Mountain Eagle, holding onto his collar, lifted his head above water...

Gasping and coughing, Miura yelled: "I’ll talk, I’ll talk, don’t let go, I’ll talk..."

After coughing violently for a few moments and spitting out a mouthful of water, Miura gasped and said: "Don’t let go, I’ll talk. My name is Tomokazu Miura, and I owed a lot of money to loan sharks, cough cough...

Last month, someone asked me to employ two individuals in the cruise cabin department, and made me assign them to work on deck five.

They told me that they had already bribed the first officer, and they would take control of the cruise as it was about to enter Thai territorial waters and allow the Pirates aboard.

My role was to keep an eye on Mr. Huang in cabin 501 and to deliver them food and drinks laced with sedatives at the critical moment.

That’s all I know, really, please spare me, don’t kill me..."

Squinting, Mountain Eagle looked at Miura and asked: "Who approached you?"

Miura’s gaze shifted slightly, and with a trembling voice, he said: "I don’t know that person’s name specifically, but once I overheard the first officer on a call, mentioning an organization called Asafiye."

Mountain Eagle, looking at the man before him, Tomokazu Miura, nodded in slight admiration and said: "It seems I was wrong, you are the big fish.

What benefits did Fayiz offer you to make you work so hard for him?"

Mountain Eagle stared at Miura’s sharply contracting pupils, he smiled and let go of his hand, watching as Miura fell back into the water.

Three minutes later, Mountain Eagle again pulled the still-drinking Miura out and said sternly: "Did Fayiz not tell you what to do in this situation?"

Miura, coughing with his pupils contracting, frantically shook his head saying: "I don’t know what you’re talking about, I do not know any Fayiz..."

Smiling, Mountain Eagle took out his phone, turned on the recording mode, and said: "Then prove it. Say ’Pirate King Fayiz is a son of a bitch, born to his mother’s daily clients...’

If you say it, I will believe you don’t know Fayiz."

Miura’s face turned pale and contorted slightly; he tried to speak several times but couldn’t quite manage it...

Watching Mountain Eagle with a half-smiling expression, Miura closed his eyes and said: "Just kill me, otherwise my whole family is doomed."

Nodding understandingly, Mountain Eagle replied: "Alright then, in that case, let’s pretend I don’t know about Pirate King Fayiz. What exactly does the Asafiye Organization want?

There’s clearly no bomb on this cruise, the previous explosion was evidently made with cleaning supplies. Who made those bombs?

With only two assassins outside, and one not dressed like a crew member, how many of your people are actually on this cruise?"

Miura trembled throughout his body and after a few seconds of silence, he said: "The Asafiye Organization wants to kill Mr. Huang, because he’s their competitor.

I made the bombs, and there is another one in a utility room on deck 5.

I really just brought up two people on board; I don’t know if there are others. Those Pirates are indeed men from the Asafiye Organization..."
