Just like the other pirates, he wore a mask. He was pacing around as he looked carefully at all of the antiques that were ondisplay.
Amoment later, he spoke slowly in Dorzanian. “The waters are mi Everything you have here belongs to me now. Your money,jewe and antiques are all mine.”
He added, “But these aren't that important. What | want is a gram hydronium. Who has it? Give it to me.”Suzanne was even more shocked to hear the pirate say that he wanted hydronium.
“If you can give it to me, I'll provide you a speedboat to get you out of here safely. If you can’t give me what | want, I'll kill aperson for every minute | spend here until all of you die.”

Just then, she heard Oliver mutter, “What's he saying?”
She glanced at him in astonishment. How did he know that she could understand the pirate?
Judging from her expression, Oliver knew that she was confused, so he explained, “You have had a knack for languages sinceyou were young. When you left me back then, you'd already grasped all the eight major languages.”
Suzanne was even more surprised after hearing his explanation.” When | was young? Eight languages?”Stunned by her reply, Oliver took a moment to respond.“You were twenty-two,” he told her. “You were quite young.”
Suzanne didn’t even know this fact about herself, yet Oliver knew it fairly well. She was about to sink into her thoughts when agun was
fired.The pirates actually kept to their word and started killing a person for every minute that passed. Screams filled the air once more.After the third gunshot, Suzanne couldn’t take it anymore. In Dorzanian, she said, “Stop it. They don’t understand Dorzanian.”
The head of the pirates glanced around but couldn't find the pers who spoke. He asked, “Oh, really? | thought Dorzanian waswell- known. Well then, why don’t you stand up and help me translate wh | say?”
As Suzanne slowly stood up, Oliver grabbed her hand to stop her from doing so out of fear that her life might be in danger.However, she yanked her hand away from him.

He rested the gun against his shoulder and stood in a pose that he deemed would make him appear more suave. “Hey, pretty,translate what | just said to them. If you do a good job at it and help me get the hydronium | want, | can spare your life.”Suzanne glanced around. She saw the corpses lying on the ground in pools of blood amidst the crowd. The people crouched,their bodies trembling with fear. Some covered their hands over their mouths as they sobbed in horror at the bloody sight.
It was both gruesome and chaotic.
Suzanne mustered the courage to come up with words of comfort. Don’t be afraid. Don’t move. They’re pirates, and they want tofind...
Her voice trailed off when she noticed the shadows stealthily approaching several pirates from behind them. Those shadowswere armed with daggers. Judging from their posture, they seemed like professional fighters.
In the blink of an eye, a fighter appeared behind each and every pir standing in the crowd. Their daggers swiftly sliced thepirates’ throats, ending them all for good.
All those pirates fell to the ground instantly.
The only pirate left standing was the head of the pirates. Obliviousit all, he snapped at Suzanne for being silent.
