CHAPTER 1238 MR BLACKWOOD IS AN ORDINARY PIRATE

Several days later, in Channing at the South. All rights © .

It was a weekend, so Nathan and his family dined in at a seafood restaurant that was famous for its large variety of delicious seafood instead of eating at home.

Nathan ordered a steamed Humphead wrasse, prawns, crabs and clam chowder, and all of them enjoyed the food happily.

Everyone was in a good mood except Penny, who was staring at the seafood with a grim expression.

Nathan sensed her gloominess and asked with concern, "What's wrong?"

Penny gave him a rueful smile and told him honestly, "Quite a few of our cargo ships to Darius have been hijacked and robbed by pirates one after another. They stole many goods from us, and we suffered a heavy loss."

Nathan furrowed his brows. "Can't we ask for compensation from the shipping

company?"

Penny let out a sigh before saying, "The shipping company suffered great losses too. They lost their ships, and the pirates killed all the crews on board. If we claim compensation from the company, we'll have to file a lawsuit. It will take a long time to settle the case. Both our company and the shipping company are the victims in this case."

"We will only be adding insult to injury if we sue the shipping company and demand compensation. I don't think we should do this," Penny said defeatedly.

Benson, Leah, Kylie and even the five-year-old Queenie couldn't help but angrily curse the pirates for being so evil.

Nathan's brows furrowed together. "What an arrogant pirate. Pirates usually don't dare to rob any cargo ship with our national flag. Why did they rob our cargo ships?"

Penny shrugged. "I asked the shipping company about it, and they said that the pirates of Demon's Lair did it. Odysseus is the head of Demon's Lair, also known as Mr. Blackwood. He's extremely vicious; he leaves no one alive every time he robs a ship."

Mr. Blackwood?

How dare a pirate address himself as Mr. Blackwood?

There are many competent and accomplished officers in the navy, but none of them ever addresses themselves as this pirate does.

These pirates even have the audacity to lay their hands on the Cross Group's cargo ships!

This is outrageous!

Nathan sneered, "How dare these pirates be so barbaric? I'll send someone to get rid of them later."

Penny, Benson and Leah were stunned at Nathan's words.

Is Nathan being serious about getting rid of the pirates?

Kylie's eyes gleamed with hope. She knew of Nathan's identity, so she believed that this was not an empty promise. Nathan would surely carry out and achieve what he said.

Queenie looked at her dad with admiration. Her little face turned red out of excitement as she clapped her hands and said, "Yes! Papa is awesome! Papa is going to get rid of those bad pirates!"

Penny smiled dryly at her daughter. "Silly girl. Papa has retired from the army. How can Papa fight against the pirates? He's only joking.”

Yet, Nathan held Queenie in his arms and chuckled. "Papa isn't joking. I'll wipe out all these pirates within one week. You'll see the news of Odysseus getting arrested on the TV in no time.”

Penny rolled her eyes at Nathan and said exasperatedly, "Yes, keep bragging to the kid."

Nathan laughed. "You'll soon know that I'm only telling the truth."

In the meantime, seated at a table nearby Nathan and his family were a few well-built, tanned men. They were giving off a faint ocean scent.

Upon listening to Nathan's conversation, expressions of fury appeared on their faces. They all shot Nathan a murderous look.

These men were the pirates of Demon's Lair under Odysseus. They had come here on a mission to kill Nathan and his family on Odysseus' command.
