Bang!
A terrifying force blasted on the protective shield, and it shattered instantly. Watson let out a muffled groan before his body flew about 100 meters backward. The momentum broke a dozen corals before he landed heavily on a shell.
Watson had consumed a lot of internal energy when he resisted Ambrose’s attack earlier. He was exhausted, and thus, he could not resist the Tyrant Hammer’s attack.
After all, Ambrose’s Tyrant Hammer was also a rare Grand Weapon.
“Watson!” Ambrose stared down at Watson as murderous intent laced his tone. “Do you have any last words? Hurry up and say it!”
As he spoke, Ambrose gripped the Tyrant Hammer tightly in his hand and approached Watson slowly.
His brute strength and aura permeated and filled the air and sea. Gulp!
Watson was petrified. He swallowed his saliva discreetly as he regretted his act! “Hang on!”
Watson yelled when he saw Ambrose drew nearer to him. “Your Highness, Hero Darby, I am wrong. I have failed as a human, and I am unfaithful. Please, forgive me. Please forgive me…”
Watson never thought that he would ever kneel before Ambrose and begged for his mercy, but he had no choice. Ambrose was too powerful. If Watson refused to admit defeat, then he would lose his life.
Ambrose chuckled. He did not stop; he continued to approach Watson. ‘We can leave this scum alive. It is better to get rid of him.’
“Hero Darby, Young Master Darby—” Watson panicked; he continued to kowtow to plead for his life. “For the sake of my service for your father, please spare my life.”
Hacken, who had been quiet and cold, said, “Young Man, since Watson has admitted his mistake, why don’t you give him a chance?”
Hacken threw Watson a cold glance, devoid of the politeness he showed earlier.
As the Head of the Sea Mackie Clan, Hacken could see that Watson had fabricated his story. Hacken was furious when he realized that he had been fooled. However, he had to step in as two outsiders were fighting on his territory.
Heather said, “Brother Ambrose, even if this person is despicable, but perhaps you can spare him? The Sea Mackie Clan follows our ancestor’s rule where we can’t kill in our territory.”
Ambrose stopped in his tracks; he hesitated after he heard Heather’s words. ‘Watson is too despicable. Should I forgive him?’
“Brother!”
Eira walked up to Ambrose slowly. She glanced at Watson and said softly, “Heather has made her intentions clear. Let’s let him live for the time being.”
Then, Eira thought of something. She said, “The situation on the mainland must be very tense now. We need extra hands. Let’s get him to pay for his sins when we’re back on the mainland.”
Ambrose looked at Watson coldly. “You hear that? I’m sparing your life today because of Heather. From now on, you’ll have to follow my orders. I’ll show no mercy if you go against my will.”
“Yes…” Watson was dripping with cold sweat; he nodded repeatedly. “I will contribute to the mainland, and I will never run away again.”
