Olivia Fordham And Ethan Miller

Tobias stood up and left.

He had no more time to explain the situation to the children.

Alicia looked at Zack worriedly.

However, Zack wasn't looking at her.

Instead, his gaze was fixed on the chessboard, on Tobias' last move.

He then moved the king forward even though it was a checkmate.

No matter what he did, the outcome was already decided.

“Zack ..." Alicia called.

Zack had heard about pirates from Jack—they were a bunch of heartless monsters in human skin.

They used to rule the seas and would do anything to fill their own pockets.

Naturally, they had their eyes on this ship transporting raw mineral materials.

Zack knew that they were in big trouble.

He knew of the dangers but he didn't have the capability to neutralize them.

All he could do was try to find Jack as soon as possible and have him bring them away before chaos ensued.

He was only three years old, but he already knew the meaning of life and death.

The two children didn't know why they were trying so hard to live.
