Ryan stood stunned, as if a bucket of ice water had been poured over his head—Matthew's analysis had opened his eyes completely.
That's Matteo for you.
If it had been up to Ryan, he wouldn't have cared whether the surrender was real or not. He would've fired the first shot just to cripple them.
Without hesitation, Ryan stepped into the cockpit and piloted the Medusa Warship quickly toward the ancient battleship.
Sure enough, as they drew closer, both Matthew and Ryan could see figures standing aboard the old vessel. One person was even tied up and hanging high above the deck like a warning sign.
A crew member aboard the ancient ship spotted the fast-approaching Medusa Warship. The moment he laid eyes on the ship's twisted, snake-shaped prow, he shuddered with fear.
"Weston, do you really think they'll spare us?" the sailor asked nervously.
The first mate, Weston Sharpe, standing at the bow, gave a slight nod. "Looks like they understand our intentions. They haven't fired yet. Let's wait and see what their envoy has to say."
Those were the only words Weston offered before his gaze darkened, focused intently on the Medusa Warship as it closed the distance.
The Medusa Warship came to a slow stop about 300 feet from the ancient ship—any closer and they risked a collision.
A grappling rope shot out from the ship and coiled securely around the old ship's lookout mast.
Wearing white robes, Matthew stepped onto the rope effortlessly, walking across as if he were on solid ground. He didn't actually need the rope—it was more for Ryan's sake.
Following behind him with a tense expression, Ryan carefully made his way across the swaying line.
The crew aboard the ancient battleship stared in disbelief. When they first saw the rope, they'd assumed someone would pull the other ship closer. They hadn't expected people to walk across it.
Weston's eyes narrowed at the sight of the two approaching men. They're not afraid we'll just open fire?
