Erin’s voice cut through the tension like a blade. "What’s this Plan B? Haven’t we already failed?"
Keira turned to face her, her eyes holding a calm that seemed out of place. "Think about it carefully—what exactly did we accomplish?"
Erin’s brow furrowed as she looked between Keira and Lewis. The truth hit her like a cold wave. They had done nothing but travel an enormous distance, only to arrive just in time to watch Professor Barry Brandt get captured. Frustration bubbled up, but then a spark of realization flickered in her mind. Her eyes widened. "So... it’s all a diversion! The real rescue mission has already been set in motion!"
Lewis checked his watch, a faint smile playing on his lips as he nodded. "Everyone knows the quickest route from Country A to Crera goes through this river. That’s why it’s so heavily guarded. But Professor Brandt took a different path."
Erin’s jaw dropped. "Another route would take a whole day by sea and pass through a dangerous strait. No one would expect him to go that way... Lewis, you sly fox, you're quite cunning!"
Lewis shot her a sideways glance but said nothing. Instead, he turned his gaze to Keira—soft, gentle, full of unspoken warmth. "Professor Brandt just boarded a ship and left Crera. He should return here around this time tomorrow."
Keira nodded, absorbing the information like a sponge.
But Erin let out a bitter scoff. "I doubt Professor Brandt will make it back at all."
Keira’s head snapped toward her. "Why do you say that?"
Erin pulled out her phone, fingers flying across the screen to open a map. She thrust it toward Keira. "Are you familiar with maritime routes? Look here—this river is the shortest path from Crera. The authorities know Professor Brandt might try an alternative route. But they haven’t fortified the other direction, because it runs straight through the Trident Strait!"
She jabbed her finger at a specific spot on the map.
Keira stared at the glowing dot, confusion wrinkling her brow. "The Trident Strait?"
Erin’s disdain was as sharp as broken glass. "Don’t you know anything? The world’s largest surface is the ocean. Maritime routes are the lifeblood of global trade."
Keira nodded slowly. "I’m aware of that."
"Good," Erin continued, her tone laced with sarcasm. "Sea transport is essential because it’s dirt cheap compared to air freight. But you should also know—pirates still exist."
Keira blinked, her mind refusing to accept the word. "Pirates? In this day and age?"
Erin pointed again at the map. "There’s an island right here. A group of pirates lives on it. They survive by raiding passing ships. They call themselves the Trident Pirates!"
She leaned closer, her voice dropping. "Because of them, this sea route has never been fully opened up. Ships always have to take a long detour. That makes Professor Brandt’s journey incredibly dangerous."
Keira’s eyes stretched wide, disbelief painting her face. "Are there really still pirates in the world?"
Lewis let out a soft chuckle, the sound warm and reassuring. "Yes, there are. The competition over maritime routes happens behind closed doors, so most people don’t know about it. These pirates control key straits, making them very influential in navigation."
He added, "If a maritime route is opened up, the time and fuel savings are enormous—it drastically lowers the cost of shipping goods. So, there’s fierce competition over these straits."
Keira felt like she had stumbled into a hidden world, one she never knew existed. She understood the importance of transportation—how it could make or break an economy. Disruptions meant isolation, poverty, stagnation. But she had never imagined that, in the modern era, the sea still held such untamed dangers.
Erin spoke again, her voice sharp as a blade. "You mentioned the pirates, but you didn’t say how ruthless they are. Do you know that anyone who passes through their territory has to pay a massive toll? The fees are so high that most ships prefer the long way around rather than risk an encounter. Professor Brandt will definitely be detained!"
Keira turned to Lewis, hope flickering in her chest. "Did you make arrangements with the pirates?"
If the pirates could collect tolls from cargo ships, surely they could do the same with people!
Before Lewis could answer, Erin snorted. "It wouldn’t matter if he tried. No amount of money would work. Everyone knows Professor Brandt’s value is incalculable. The pirates know it too! They’re involved in weapon development and research—Professor Brandt is exactly the kind of scientist they need!"
She glared at Lewis, frustration burning in her eyes. "Don’t underestimate the pirates. If they were weak, they would have been crushed by surrounding nations long ago. They’re formidable opponents. They know the sea and its geography like the back of their hands. They’re a tough nut to crack!"

**Reader's Impressions & Star Rating:**
Oh, what a revelation this chapter was! Just when we thought the rescue was going smoothly, Erin drops a bombshell about pirates—real, modern-day pirates! My heart raced as Keira discovered this hidden world of maritime conflict. The way Lewis calmly explained everything while Erin fumed with frustration was masterfully done. This chapter opened up a whole new layer of danger and intrigue. The tension is building beautifully, and I’m on the edge of my seat!
**Rating:** ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (4.9 / 5 Stars)
**Next Chapter Prediction:**
I have a feeling that Professor Brandt’s ship is about to be attacked by the Trident Pirates. Keira will likely insist on going after him, and Lewis will have to use his billionaire resources to mount a daring rescue mission. But the pirates won’t be easily fooled—they’ll demand something far more valuable than money. Perhaps a trade? Or a secret? Whatever happens, the next chapter promises high-seas action and heart-stopping suspense!
