Squale, Cyclops, and the pirates burst into laughter the moment they heard Nathan's words.
Consequently, Squale turned around and glanced at Cyclops as he asked, "He says he will show us some mercy and allow us to die comfortably as long as we set these two women free. What do you think?”
Cyclops tightened his grip and held on to Penny's wrist firmly as he looked at Nathan with a spiteful expression. "Ha! I want them both! Besides, he's not leaving here alive anyway. Let's chop his head off and bring it back to our boss as an offering.”
The moment they wrapped up their conversation, Cyclops detected a figure through the corner of his eyes.
In a flash, Nathan, who was initially a few feet away, appeared right in front of Cyclops.
Cyclops was taken aback by Nathan's presence. His expression changed because he was horrified and infuriated at the same time.
He set Penny free immediately as he tried to throw a punch at Nathan in the face.
In return, Nathan snorted contemptuously and held on to Cyclops' oncoming fist causing Cyclops' eyes to widened in disbelief.
Crack!
Without any hesitation, Nathan broke Cyclops' right wrist in front of the others.
Argggh!
Cyclops shrieked in pain for a few seconds, and in that few seconds, Nathan had rendered him defenseless.
The fierce-looking man couldn't produce any sound anymore, let alone screamed because he had been put in a chokehold by Nathan.
Grabbing Cyclops's neck with all his might, Nathan lifted him up in front of Squale and the rest of the pirates as though one of their leaders was merely a defenseless child.
Cyclops, who was one of the Seven Kings of Demon's Lair, couldn't even begin to defend himself. He tried to struggle out of Nathan's hold, but his effort was to no avail.
Consequently, Squale and his men were completely stunned by what they're witnessing.
Nathan cast a stern gaze at Cyclops and informed him coldly, "No one is allowed to bully my wife. From the moment you laid a finger on her and gripped her wrists, you're already as good as gone to me."
Cyclops was horror stricken upon hearing Nathan's words. He tried to break free with all his might as he struggled over and over again.
