The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family

The condition for the British Lord to let them die willingly was for the British Lord to give their families freedom after their deaths.

For these people, they would still die sooner or later without an antidote, so it would be better for them to die and give their families a chance rather than to die just like this.

In fact, these people were different from the Armed Calvary Guards and the dead soldiers. They were Ezra's confidants. When Ezra brought them here to take office, none of their family members came with them, nor could they come with them.

They shouldered the attribute of self-destruction from the moment they took office. They would have to be the executors of self-destruction once there was a need for this place to be destroyed.

The reason why the British Lord arranged this was so that they could complete self-destruction in the shortest time and cut off all risks completely once a major problem occurred in a certain dead soldiers' base.

Their families were the key to allowing them to die willingly.

Ezra looked at the time and said, "It's almost time. Get ready to sink the cargo ship."

The man at the lead nodded and led his subordinates to place directional explosives at the cabins below the bow and stern of the ship. After doing this, they handed the detonator to Ezra and said, "Deputy Governor, you can detonate it at any time."

Ezra took the detonator and asked, "Have all the exits been sealed? We have to ensure that nothing will float up to the ocean after the cargo ship sinks. Otherwise, once it is discovered by other ships, they will realize that a ship has sunk here."

The man clasped one of his hands over the other and said, "You can rest assured, Deputy Governor. All the cabins are sealed, and all the doors and windows are sealed. The goods in the warehouse have been sealed and fixed in place with a very dense iron net. Once you press the detonator, seawater will instantly pour in, and the cargo ship will sink quickly. Nothing will float to the surface of the ocean. As for the debris produced by the explosion, they are all iron and will be in small pieces, so the debris will sink to the bottom quickly and not float to the surface. You don't have to worry about anything."

Ezra nodded and said, "It's just the few of us left who are not in place yet. Come with me to the captain's cabin."

"Understood!" Several people followed Ezra to the captain's cabin. Ezra locked the heavy hatch tightly and then took out a bottle of strong liquor, poured a few glasses, and handed them to the people in front of him as he said, "Everyone, we have worked together for so many years, and it is fate that we can die together today. I'll offer this glass of liquor as a toast to see all of us off, then!"noveldrama

These people were already prepared to die, so they nodded heavily as they took the wine glasses from Ezra.

Ezra clinked glasses with them, raised his head, drank the liquor in the glass, and picked up the detonator, pressing it without hesitation.

Suddenly, there were two muffled sounds from the cargo hold at the bottom of the cargo ship. Two large holes of about one meter in diameter had been blown open in the bow and stern of the ship.

Seawater quickly poured into the cabin, and the cargo ship began to sink at an extremely fast speed. However, no one on the cargo ship was panicking or running for their lives because they were all asleep in various cabins at the moment. Ezra had specially arranged for a special potion to be added to these people's meals so that they would fall asleep.

Everyone was now sealed in various cabins.

The massive influx of seawater did not wake these people up, and they drowned and died in their sleep one after the other.

Soon, seawater began to pour into the captain's cabin. Ezra sat on the floor with the others until the seawater filled the entire cabin.

Twenty minutes later, the eight-thousand-ton cargo ship sank into the sea completely.

Due to the preparations done in advance, after the cargo ship sank, it left no trace behind aside from a whirlpool on the sea. The entire cargo ship was like a huge cage that had sunk to the bottom of the sea without looking back...
