While the Cox family was in chaos, on the other side, Avery remained completely unaware.
On their journey to Adieu Island, they encountered unexpected trouble.
Halfway through, they were attacked.

Irwin had been observing through the telescope for quite some time. As soon as he confirmed the
presence of the other party, his expression changed. He quickly reported to Avery.
“Mr. Cox, there are pirates!”
“Pirates?” Avery was resting in the cabin at the moment. Upon hearing this, he immediately sat up,
finding the news somewhat unbelievable.
Indeed, there was a group operating in the waters of Phison, primarily engaged in acts of piracy and
plunder on the high seas.
However, as they often roamed in the waters beyond the jurisdiction of Phison, neither Lordsworth
Estate nor the guild could control them.
But this situation was different.
The island belonged to Phison, as did the surrounding sea.
Irwin said, “I’ve never heard of pirates appearing here before. Those people are very cunning and they
never cause trouble in the inner sea of Phison. Why is it so unusual today?”
When things went wrong, there must be a hidden motive.
Avery’s cold eyes narrowed. He reached out for the telescope, asked for it, and then left the cabin with
it in his hand.
At this moment, it was dawn. The sea was covered in fog, making visibility extremely low.
He raised the telescope, peered through the lens, and strained to look into the distance. Shifting his
gaze two degrees to the left, he spotted a ship moving towards them.
On that ship, a very distinct flag was flying. At a glance, one could tell it belonged to pirates!
Avery’s brows furrowed, sensing that something was wrong.
Before they could fully comprehend the situation, the boat suddenly accelerated, and in an instant, it
was already very close to them.
“Mr. Cox, they are about to approach!” Irwin’s face was tense, but he remained relatively calm.
Avery’s eye’s were cold and focused as he gave the order. “Wake everyone up.”
Irwin immediately followed the order. “Yes!”
Just as he called everyone onto the deck, ready for action, the people on the opposing ship suddenly
threw Countless hooks towards their vessel.
This scene caused everyone present to change their expressions, each person preparing for battle,
their eyes fixed on the grappling hooks.

>At this moment, due to their close proximity, the other party had already passed through the mist,
appearing clearly
before the eyes of the Cox family and their companions.
Suddenly, on that ship, several people were seen tightly clutching the ropes, climbing towards them!
“Mr. Cox!” Irwin’s face was serious as he rushed to Avery’s side, vigilantly watching the front. “Please
retreat to the cabin. Leave these people to us!”
Avery coldly looked at the approaching group and refused. “No need.”
Irwin was worried, but in the end, he didn’t say anything more. He stood protectively in front of him, not
leaving his side even for a moment.
Before long, the other party had reached their boat.
The Cox family and their group were fully prepared. Without uttering another word, they rushed forward
and started to fight, doing their best to prevent the others from boarding the ship.
However, the other party had a large number of people, making it impossible to guard against all of
them. In no time, some of them had already made it onto the deck.
At that moment, Finnley, leading a group of experts from the Gordon family, charged forward without
hesitation, engaging in hand-to-hand combat.
They were all highly skilled fighters, capable of inflicting serious damage with their bare hands. Each
one of them was formidable.
It seemed the opposition hadn’t anticipated such a team of experts on this ship. Despite their numerical
advantage, they were gradually losing ground.
The situation was quickly brought under control by Avery’s side. Seeing that things were not going in
their favor, those people didn’t stay to fight. They resisted while making their escape.
Irwin furrowed his brows, shouting loudly, “Capture them alive!”
But those people were prepared, like slippery eels that wouldn’t be easily caught. Seeing they were
about to be captured, they didn’t bother with the ropes anymore. With a bold leap, they jumped directly
into the sea.
Irwin strode towards the edge of the deck, but Avery stopped him. “That’s enough, no need to pursue
further. They have made their preparations and there will be someone waiting for them. If our people
jump after them, it could lead to unforeseen consequences.”
An unexpected night raid at sea began with a bang, then ended as swiftly as a gust of wind sweeping
away the last of the clouds, leaving chaos in its wake.
The opposing ship, having retracted its hook and rope, disappeared into the vast fog, like a ghost.
-Avery’s gaze was sharp, as if trying to see through something, fixated on this invisible veil.
“Mr. Cox, should we immediately report the appearance of pirates in the inland sea of Phison to the
union?” Irwin asked.
“Pirates?” Avery’s voice held a hint of mockery. “I doubt that’s the case.”
Irwin asked in confusion, “You don’t think they are?”
“Law and order are strictly maintained in Phison. Over the years, there have never been any pirates in
the inland sea, not even a trace. So why did they appear as soon as we set out to sea? The timing is
just too coincidental.”
With his remark, Irwin also realized something.
“Mr. Cox, do you believe that these people are not pirates?”
“Indeed, their actions greatly differ from those of pirates. Pirates spend most of their lives on ships, only
going ashore when necessary to purchase supplies. They generally avoid docking, so their agility
differs from those who have spent a long time training on land. However, the group we just saw, no
matter how you look at it, they don’t seem like they’ve been living at sea for long.”
Irwin said in a deep voice, “Those people were deliberately posing as pirates, intending to harm you.
Their goal must be to prevent you from reaching Adieu Island and to sabotage the Cox family’s
mission.”
“Most likely, that’s the case,” Avery’s handsome face darkened with a shadow. “It appears that the
Jagger family is aware of the news. They are no longer willing to stay idle and are planning to take
action right from the beginning. It’s always better to be proactive than passive. One of their objectives is
to hinder us, but they also have another motive. They probably want to investigate and determine the
number of people I’ve brought along, so they can strategize accordingly.”
Irwin glanced at Finnley. “Doesn’t that mean the Gordon family has been exposed in this way?”
He didn’t inform the Gordon family earlier and only allowed the Cox family to intervene. This was done
to maintain a certain level of influence and catch the Jagger family off guard.
It seemed that the plan couldn’t keep up with the unexpected changes…
