He was a man with justice and believed that he was a lord who could do something for the civilians, but he should have considered the consequences! They were on the water and not everything could be solved so easily. The court would have dealt with those pirates ages ago, if they were so easy to finish. It was not the capital!
There used to be some missions set up to finish the pirates, but they were too familiar with the water to be caught easily. The water was wide and bounderless, and they were completely out of control.
Also, they were not in an advantageous status right now. There were some women on the boat too!
Wuhen looked at Zhou Huaiyu and showed a look of complaint. He and Lord Yu had never run into any hot issues after spending so many years outside, but now they ran into trouble directly on the first day of the trip with Lord Huai.
Zhou Huaiyu said, “Eighth Brother, let’s just have a nice talk.”
Zhou Huaijin did not take his brother’s words into consideration. Instead, he said to those who looked influential opposite them. “Are you retreating or not?”
Those people on the boat opposite them laughed.
“Retreating?” Jin, the head, said to his men next to him. “We have lived more than ten years on the water, and no one has ever asked us to retreat. How interesting, which family are you from? You must be out on a trip for the first time, right? You know nothing, so we’ll give you one last chance – are you giving us the money or not?”
Zhou Huaiyu was about to say yes, when Zhou Huaijin stopped him.
Wuhen complained. “Lord Huai, don’t get us killed!”
Zhou Huaijin glared at Wuhen.
He did not care about them.
He reached out his hands and gave the order.
When the order was given, Fu Bao, Mo Bing and Feng Yue all flew directly to the other boat and all of them had swords with them. Apart from these three people, four hidden guards in black all flew out of the boat as well and came to the other boat at the highest speed. The men on the other boat were all suddenly attacked. They were panicking, but they started to fight with them, and tried to jump on Zhou Huaijin’s boat. They planned to get upon Zhou Huaijin’s boat just to take some hostages.
Those pirates had been used to all kinds of threats. Those hidden guards were capable, but that did not necessarily mean that their leaders were so capable. They only needed to capture the leader, so they had nothing to fear.
Some pirates were capable too.
Some tried to fly to their boat, but Mo Bing struck them all back. Zhou Huaijin did not even move a finger. Suddenly, a fierce fight arose.
However, Zhou Huaijin and Zhou Huaiyu were all in good positions.
Zhou Huaiyu was already scared. He did not know that there were men in black hidden in the boat.
Wuhen flushed. He thought that Lord Huai was just being spoiled, but it seemed that he was prepared. He could not help getting embarrassed.
pirates were capable and there were many of them. So the fight was still not balanced since Zhou Huaijin had stressed that they should not kill anyone on the trip.
Gu Chaoyan, who was in the room, also heard the noise of fighting outside, but she had not considered it as something important.
However, suddenly, the sound of light footsteps arose.
