章 173: Pirate Headquarters, The Thief's end

The journey back to Koreena's ship was relatively peaceful compared to the chaos of the tavern. The storm had subsided, leaving Draven with some time to collect his thoughts and reflect on the brutal act he had just committed. He knew that this ruthless display had earned him the reputation he needed among the pirates, but it weighed heavily on his mind.

Eventually, they returned to the imposing vessel known as the Hellswind, where Koreena awaited their arrival. As they boarded her ship, Koreena welcomed them with a sinister grin, her eyes gleaming with anticipation.

Koreena wasted no time and cut to the chase. "Did you finish the task I gave you, new blood?" she asked, her voice dripping with cruelty.

Draven remained calm and unflinching. Without a word, he reached into a bag at his side and casually threw Vilan's severed head at Koreena's feet. The gruesome trophy landed with a sickening thud, blood staining the deck of the ship.
