Chosen Mate of the Beastmen Empire by Lewis Reed

Chapter 207

The moment the leader finished speaking, his vision went blurred from a powerful force which slammed his head against

the boat.

In panic, his fingers trembled violently as he tried to pull the trigger, but the gun was snatched away by Erik, who examined the crude little handgun, disassembling and reassembling it with one hand.

The weapon had barely any firepower–it only contained two bullets. Yet, Erik knew that for Earthlings, it seemed to hold significant threat and shouldn’t be in the hands of such lowly scum.

Erik casually fired a shot into the air.

The hijackers trembled, frozen in shock, and unable to comprehend how he had suddenly appeared on their boss’s boat. Erik’s smooth disassembly and reassembly of the gun startled them. ‘Who have we messed with?‘ they thought. Snapping out of their daze, the hijackers immediately tried to flee in different directions–until Erik’s calm “Freeze” pinned them in place.

With the second ‘gunshot, they didn’t even wait for another warning before raising their hands in surrender.

The gunfire alerted the patrolling police.

It was rare for criminals to remain in place after a shot was fired, rather than scattering and making pursuit difficult. Yet, the scene before them was oddly complicated–they couldn’t make sense of it.

The officers turned their gaze to the only woman present, hoping for an explanation.

“These guys stopped our boat to rob us,” Nyx explained. “My partner knocked down their leader, took his gun, and fired a warning shot to alert you and keep the rest from moving.”

It sounded simple, but looking at the sheer difference in numbers, the officers were both shocked and confused.

They turned to Erik. “You fired the shots?”

Erik nodded, handing over both the criminals and the gun before effortlessly leaping back onto his own boat.

The two boats were at least 10 feet apart, yet Erik made the jump with ease, landing so lightly and steadily that it barely rocked the boat–ensuring Nyx and Chubby remained comfortable.

Everyone present was dumbfounded.

The hijackers swallowed hard. This time, they had seen it clearly–they finally understood how he had appeared on their boss’s boat. They thought, “Thankfully, we haven’t resisted; otherwise, we wouldn’t have even known how we would die.‘
