Chapter 122 Loyalty To Death

Among his current men, he knew that none of them would be able to win a head on fight against Denis, including himself.

"What do you think of me, a fool? Do you think I would simply allow myself to get surrounded by a bunch of idiots like you? If you have the ability, come down here and let's talk business. Is your previous offer still valid?"

Hearing that, Scar-face's eyes immediately lit-up.

To be honest, Scar-face truly doesn't want to have Denis as one of his enemies, as he valued his talent and loyalty the most.

However, if Denis truly decides to oppose him, then Scar-face would also not show any mercy towards him.

A smile appeared on Scar-face eyes as he said,"Denis, this will be my last time trying to recruit you. As I said before, join me and my gang and you will become my right hand immediately. Wealth, power, fame, you name it and you will have it. This yacht is just an example.

I know what kind of life you are living right now. If you join me, not only will you be able to solve your current predicament instantly, you could also work beyond that and live leisurely like me."

From ragged to riches in an instant, Scar-face was mainly offering that to Denis.

In his opinion, no one would be able to ignore such an offer, especially a man struggling financially like Denis. Unless, if he still wanted to become stubborn of course.

Ideals? Righteousness? Can we eat that?

As if he was getting convinced, Denis became silent as he made a heavy sigh.

Seeing his reaction, Scar-face thought his plan had already worked.

"Not only that, remember the guys that were pressuring you? You will be above them and you can now order them however you want." Scar-face added.

After a long silence, Denis finally nodded his head.

"Alright, I agree. But first. You know that I value loyalty the most. Let's form a blood oath to swear to the heavens that we won't betray each other in the future, else, I would just get worried in my sleep. Bring a knife as you come down," Upon saying that, Denis tossed the wooden bat on his hand away as he forcefully lifted a table away and put it not far away from the jetty and the yacht's entrance.

Seeing that, Scar-face could only twitch his mouth nervously.

He also heard of the rumors that Denis and his friends were actually sworn brothers, who swore their loyalty through a process they called a blood oath.

According to the rumors, it was like a simple and barbaric method of cutting your palm with a knife, let the blood flow out, before clutching the other party's equally bloodied hand.

He did not think that anything was wrong with Denis' actions as it was in line with what he had previously known.

He was only nervous because he realized that he would actually have to cut his own palm just to gain Denis' loyalty and trust.

However, Scar-face gritted his teeth, and thought that it was a necessary sacrifice to gain a powerful fighter like Denis.

Not only that, if he acquired Denis, it would also mean that he would be getting his friend's loyalty as well. That was basically a buy one get an entire group kind of deal for him.

Scar-face nodded his head as he beckoned to the men behind him, "Alright. Let 'our' men be the witness to this oath of loyalty."

Pulling out the knife that he was always fiddling earlier, Scar-face alighted the Divine Destiny yacht along with many others.

Hiding behind the shadows, Roland counted and realized that there were actually nineteen of them in total, including Scar-face. The number has greatly increased since his encountered them earlier.

It was fortunate that he already took out more than ten of them in that abandoned building, else, they would surely be greatly outnumbered by the enemies.

Roland has made sure to tie the enemies he captured at the abandoned building earlier, so he was a hundred percent sure that they won't be coming for back up, and that none of them would be able to inform Scar-face and the others of their escape.

That was also part of the reason why Scar-face had not suspected Denis. As in his mind, they already have Roland and Stacey in possession, so there was nothing to worry about anymore.

Observing the nineteen people, Roland noted to the others the five people who were hiding guns under their shirts, including Scar-face.

He told them to prioritize the five of them at all cost to avoid any form of accidents happening midway.

As the last person of the nineteen people alighted the yacht reluctantly, Roland's figure suddenly disappeared from where he was before he rushed towards the yacht with extreme speed.

The feat made the others gape their mouth in shock, and at the same time, they could not help but be in awe of his abilities, especially the friends of Denis who were looking at Roland's disappearing figure with great interest.

Inside the yacht, Roland looked at the mess on the floor as he went to the stateroom to operate the Divine Destiny. Earlier, when Denis was talking with Scar-face, Roland had already unhooked the yacht's anchor.

All of them agreed that the yacht was very expensive and that it should be moved away before the fight began as everyone was afraid of scratching it.

They also said that it would be very unformattable fighting in such an expensive item beside him.

As the captain, Captain Coleman was supposed to be the one to move the yacht away, however, after careful consideration, Roland decided to do it on his own as he has a lower risk of getting discovered.

Now that he was already in the stateroom, Roland was now merely waiting for the right opportunity to start and move the yacht away.

At this time, Scar-face and Denis has already sat in front of each other.

Two knives were placed in front of their hand, ready to fulfill their purpose.

Denis was the one who took the knife first.

Scar-face's men immediately reacted as four of them immediately put their hands on their gun handle.

Denis raised his hand along with the sharp knife as he looked at Scar-face with an unwavering gaze.

"We have not even formed the blood oath yet but your men are already this aggressive and guarded towards me," Denis scoffed at their action.

Seeing his firm faze, Scar-face raised his hand and ordered the others to lower the tension in the air.

Scar-face smiled as he took his own knife as well, "Don't mind them, brother. After this, they will become your subordinate and you can punish however you like."

Confident that nothing would go wrong, Scar-face was now calling Denis his brother.

Seeing that Denis was not satisfied about his arrangement, Scar-face nodded towards his men again, telling them to take out their guns.

The four of them hesitated, but after seeing Scar-face's ruthless gaze, they trembled in fright as they immediately took their guns out and put them on the table.

"Let's start, repeat after me," Denis said as he placed the knife above his palm.

"Loyalty to death, my brother's life over mine. In battle we shield each other, and in battle we die together. Connected through our blood, my pain will be shared to yours, and yours will be shared to mine. Connected through blood-"

As Denis chanted the 'mantra', Scar-face also repeated after him.

"-At this moment, I swore my loyalty to my brother with our blood as the medium!" Denis made a slicing motion on his palm.

However, halfway through his action, he suddenly pounced toward's Scar-face fiercely as he shouted, "Now!"

Hearing the cue, multiple shadows emerged from the dark.

Multiple gunshots were then headd one after the other, as the Divine Destiny yacht's engine was started, as it moved away from the battlefield almost instantaneously.

Scar-face had his eyes wide in anger realizing that he got fooled by Denis.

"DAMN YOU! DENIS!"
