Chapter 171 Anger, Face Issues
"You should stop talking. They are only afraid of the pirates, not ordinary people like us. Now that the pirates are gone, they might want to deal with us."
"Yes, I am so scared. I am so scared that the navy will deal with us civilians!"
"You are a bunch of scum in the navy. You dare not fight the pirates and only bully us civilians. Now you show up, who knows what you are here for."
"If we hadn't accidentally discovered the pirates' movements and were monitoring them, we would have died long ago. Are you here to collect our bodies?"
"We don't need you to come here and pretend to be good people now, get out of here."
"Get out, you are not welcome here."
The villagers were filled with righteous indignation at this moment, and all their anger was poured out on Lu Kai and the sailors behind him.
But the villagers' anger was understandable. If they said that the navy didn't know the news, they would have nothing to say, but they called G1 three times in total.
The first time, because the villagers were just guessing, when the navy said that the warships were on missions and could not come for the time being, the villagers were understanding.
The second time, the pirates had already set sail, but it would take some time on the road, so the navy said they could set off as soon as they were ready, and they could accept that.
The third time, the pirates had already launched an attack, and G1’s reply was that they were on the way and would arrive soon, which gave the villagers great hope.
But when the pirates landed, the navy did not appear; when their homes were looted, the navy did not appear; and when the pirates evacuated, the navy still did not appear.
Now, the pirates have been gone for five days, and their home has become a complete ruin, but the navy appeared at this time.
When they realized that the navy was making fun of all of them, and saw that the entire village was now a scorched earth, they were filled with only resentment towards such a navy.
When Lu Kai heard what the people said, he was extremely angry, but not at the villagers. Instead, he turned around and yelled at the G1 officers behind him: "This is what you did. The Navy has lost face because of you idiots. Is this the result you wanted to see?"
All the officers heard the villagers' words, felt their anger, and then heard Lu Kai's scolding. At this moment, everyone blushed and lowered their heads. No one dared to say a word at this time.
"Haha, justice? Is this your justice?" Lu Kai sneered, "Have you guys thrown the word justice to the dogs?"
Then Lu Kai said no more. He took a step forward, took a deep breath, and said to the angry villagers, "Everyone, I am Vice Admiral Lu Kai of the Navy Headquarters. I hope everyone can be quiet for a moment and listen to me first. Okay?"
"Lieutenant General Lu Kai?"
"It's really Lieutenant General Lu Kai. I've seen his photo."
"Lieutenant General Lu Kai, so handsome!"
"Did Lieutenant General Lu Kai come here in person for us?"
The villagers, who were originally furious, suddenly changed their attitudes when they heard that the young man in front of them was Lu Kai. Instead of continuing to lose their temper, they came forward and looked at Lu Kai carefully.
"Everyone, be quiet and listen to Lieutenant General Lu Kai." The elderly village chief spoke at the right time, and all the villagers immediately stopped talking and looked at Lu Kai.
Lu Kai is now famous, and even small villages like this are familiar with his name.
"Everyone, seeing your hometown destroyed, I feel so sad. On behalf of the G1 branch of the Navy, I would like to apologize to you all. I'm sorry, I'm really sorry!" After saying this, Lu Kai bowed deeply to all the villagers.
After standing up, Lu Kai continued, "I, Lu Kai, take full responsibility for this incident. If you have read the newspaper, you should know that two months ago I was transferred from the Navy Headquarters to G1 as the base commander of G1 base.
“But soon after I took office, I went back to Xihai to visit my relatives for personal reasons, and only returned to the G1 base three days ago.
“When I went home to visit my family, I ordered the people at the base to maintain the status quo as much as possible before I came back, so no one went out to the sea to rescue everyone.
“In the final analysis, it’s all my fault, Lu Kai. It was my lack of consideration that caused everyone’s homes to be destroyed and suffered heavy losses.
"So I need to take full responsibility for the attack that everyone encountered this time. Because of my personal reasons, everyone almost fell into the hands of the pirates. Fortunately, the villagers are fine, otherwise I, Lu Kaiwan, would be blamed for my death."
"I just hope that everyone can give me a chance, a chance to make amends." Lu Kai said sincerely, "I understand your feelings, because when I returned home this time, my hometown was also attacked by pirates, and my family was almost seriously injured and almost died in the pirate attack.
"If I hadn't arrived in time... So I understand your feelings better than anyone else. I hope you can allow me to go out to sea to capture the pirates who destroyed your homes and avenge you. At the same time, I also hope you can accept my marines' request to help you rebuild your homes.
"Also, next time, G1 Base will rush to rescue you as soon as possible and do our best to protect you. If you lie, I, Lu Kai, will be condemned by both humans and gods. I just hope that you can trust me again."
After saying that, Lu Kai bowed deeply to the villagers again. All the generals and marines behind him also followed Lu Kai and bowed to apologize.
"Lieutenant General Lu Kai, why are you doing this?" The old village chief couldn't bear it when he saw Lu Kai's sincere apology.
The same was true for other villagers. They had heard too many rumors about Lu Kai in the past two years.
Under the unremitting propaganda of the World Government and the Navy, the people's feelings towards Lu Kai are completely different from those towards other people, so they naturally choose to believe him without reservation.
Besides, Lu Kai is only a 16-year-old boy after all, so it is even more impossible to blame him.
"Did your family really get attacked by pirates?" a villager suddenly asked curiously.
"It's absolutely true!" Lu Kai answered seriously, "I have defeated and killed too many pirates over the years, and there are countless pirates who want to take revenge on me.
"Fortunately, like you, my family was saved after I arrived. They didn't fall into the hands of the pirates. It was a blessing in disguise."
Yan Bilu Kai did not say much to the villagers on this issue, but turned around and ordered everyone behind him: "Now, everyone, help the villagers rebuild their homes immediately, and make sure they build them better than before. If anyone dares to be lazy, I will skin him alive!"
"Yes!" All the generals and soldiers immediately responded loudly.
After arranging the reconstruction matters, Luke did not stay here, but went out to sea alone based on the information provided by the villagers, vowing to destroy the pirate group that destroyed Kivaro Village.
This is not only a question of justice, but also a question of face.
Luke is now the supreme commander of G1, and this group of pirates is doing evil right under his nose. This is intolerable.
