As Li Aozi's body was taken away, the hijacked civil aviation passengers also fell into a state of panic. They were strictly confined to a narrow space, crouching with their hands over their heads, while the gun-toting pirates watched over them, taking the opportunity to rifle through their possessions for anything valuable.
"Tch, such bad luck,"
a Snake Person hissed, yanking an earring from a young girl's ear and couldn't help but click his tongue:
"Thought it was mithril, but it's just an ordinary metal. Pretending to be rich or what."
His companion heckled:
"Be content, it's just an ordinary route. You really think there'll be nobles, bureaucrats, or oligarch tycoons on board? They travel with private guards; we can't reap any real rewards from them."
The pirate sullenly stuffed the bloody earring into his pouch:
"Ah, these poor sods, not working properly to earn money, they even look down on pirates."
