Chapter 371 Sneaking into the Cabin
Seeing a major general coming out to give orders, the people on the other side did not dare to stop them. They hurried back and the fleet quickly left the harbor.
When the fleet was a distance away from the harbor, the fat man who was pointing his gun at Hatake Ichido, put his pistol away. He laughed and said, “I know you are a man who can read the current situation. Don’t worry. As long as you obey our orders, do not try to alert the soldiers on the other warships, and tell your people to behave, we will leave after we are out of the national waters, and we will not hurt you. But if anyone of you tries to contact the outside world, or send a message to the other ships, none of you will be allowed to live.”
Only then did Xiao Bing discover that, except for the ship which Hatake Ichido was on, had been taken hostage, the other three small warships were not aware of what was happening here. They all left Jingdong Bay at the same time, because of Hatake Ichido’s order.
However, given that they were able to exert control over a major general, these people were already bold enough. If they were caught, they would definitely be sentenced to death.
After all, these were the Navy fleet!
Hatake Ichido was forcibly imprisoned in his cabin, while Xiao Bing and the other soldiers were all herded together on the deck. Their mobile phones and guns were confiscated, and every single move was under surveillance. Only Xiao Bing had a phone with him because he had sneaked in.
Xiao Bing sat among these people. The man who sat beside him looked at Xiao Bing and immediately his eyes widened. He was about to speak when another navy soldier struck his arm, and shook his head. The man closed his mouth hurriedly and looked at Xiao Bing curiously. At this time, Xiao Bing was wearing the mask of Aoki Ichiro for fear that someone would check on him and cause trouble for Huaxia.
These people recognized Xiao Bing, but they did not speak out. After all, the situation was different at this time. Now their main enemies were the bold gangsters who had hijacked the warship. As the saying goes, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. Since this person had mingled with the soldiers, he would not want to be discovered. He had to be a friend.
After a while, it was already late, and the guards who were watching the hostages, relaxed slightly. Someone started to ask Xiao Bing, “Hey, man, who are you? Are you with them?”
Xiao Bing put a finger to his mouth as he looked around. He lowered his voice and said, “I came from the Kokyo. The leader who controls this ship is a traitor from the royal family. Do you know who Iza Kawatani is?”
“Iza Kawatani? Don’t talk nonsense. He is the patron saint of the royal family, the god of the warriors. How could he do such a thing?”
Suddenly, countless eyes looked at Xiao Bing with hostility.
It looked like this Iza Kawatani was indeed a respected figure in Country R, a spiritual leader among the warriors. Xiao Bing whispered, “Of course, Iza Kawatani did not do this. It is Feng XIII, one of Iza Kawatani’s apprentices.”
All these people looked at Xiao Bing in disbelief, and suddenly one of them said, “Ah, I seemed to have seen a man carrying a sack into the cabin. These people treated him very respectfully. I thought he looked familiar, and now I recall that it was Feng XIII!”
After everyone heard this, they all believed it, but they still could not understand why Feng XIII would do this kind of thing. After all, he was a descendant of Iza Kawatani, and Iza Kawatani was a god of warriors.
Xiao Bing whispered, “Iza Kawatani does not know about this, because Feng XIII lied to him and led him somewhere else. Feng XIII took the opportunity to capture the very person who was very important to the royal family. Although this person is not a member of the royal family, he is needed for the future development of the country. After Feng XIII has him, he will then escape from Jingdong by this ship.”
The naval officers and soldiers were shocked.
Xiao Bing continued, “I was ordered to chase and stop them, so I sneaked in first, but you can be assured that I have sent a message to the royal family. However, given that all of us have been captured, the country is not able to take any action yet. If we find an opportunity, we will cooperate wholly…”
These people became less hostile, and they were grateful that Xiao Bing had come to rescue them. They were all soldiers, but they were held as hostages. It was a great shame, so they hated defectors greatly. When they heard that the leader turned out to be Feng XIII, they were shocked because Iza Kawatani was one of the most respected people. For this, they naturally respected the sole successor of Iza Kawatani. But when they learned that Feng XIII had rebelled, they began to see him as an enemy.
Xiao Bing saw the psychological change in their thinking, and continued, “So you all have to cooperate with me.”
“Rest assured. We’ll follow your orders.”
“Well.” Xiao Bing nodded as he looked in the direction of Jingdong City. He could not see the city because they were already quite a distance away. He did not know what Feng XIII’s plan was, but no matter what, this time he could kill two birds with one stone. He could leave Jingdong City with their help, and then find the person with God’s blood. Once he brought the person back to Huaxia, the task was finished.
As for the ten people he had helped, he would not leave them behind. They could go with him to Huaxia. Although these people were not very strong, they were absolutely loyal and would trust him with their lives.
As time went by, the soldiers on the ship started to get restless, complaining about going back to their cabins and getting some sleep, until the white-haired man fired a shot at the sky. He yelled at these people, “Hey, be quiet. If you want to sleep, sleep on the deck. Whoever dares to do anything, I will kill you.”
The people were all soldiers. Instead of quieting down when they heard the gunfire, they cursed angrily. After all, the soldiers were all fearless men.
The white-haired man was furious and aimed his muzzle at the crowd. Then the fat man who held Hatake Ichido at gunpoint before, came and said loudly, “Sasaki, are you crazy? Who says you can shoot?”
The white-haired man looked at the fat man and sneered, “It’s none of your business!”
“Stupid, if you attract the attention of several ships, when the master asks about it, he will throw you into the sea to feed the sharks!”
The two were at loggerheads.
At this time, Feng XIII came out of the cabin, and Sasaki and the fat man immediately kept quiet. Feng XIII went directly to Sasaki and slapped his face. Sasaki remained motionless, with blood dripping from his mouth.
Feng XIII rubbed his hands and said softly, “Don’t do that again, we have to leave safely. If anyone gets me into trouble, I will kill him. If these people don’t obey, kill them with a knife. Do I have to teach you how to use a knife?”
Sasaki straightened his back and said, “No, sir!”
Feng XIII turned to the fat man, and said, “You continue to guard the old guy. A man in his position must be very cunning. The others can keep their eyes on these people here. We will have a rest in the nearby naval port before dawn. Send two people off the boat to buy some food. We will set forth to the designated area in twenty minutes.”
Sasaki asked, “Master, after we reach the high seas, what shall we do?”
Feng XIII said indifferently, “When we reach the high seas, we will leave Country R by boat. I have a backup plan and our destination will be Africa.”
“I see, master.”
“Africa? What are they going to do in Africa?” Although Xiao Bing sat far away from them, he heard them clearly. After Feng XIII reprimanded his men, he returned to the cabin. After entering the cabin, he suddenly glanced back at the two men and said, “Both of you are going to be in charge, because I need time to cultivate. During this period, don’t bother me.”
“Yes, master.”
Feng XIII glanced at the crowd on the deck, and then re-entered the cabin. No one noticed that when everyone was listening to Feng XIII, Xiao Bing had quickly hidden in the shadows and then quietly sneaked into the cabin.
Feng XIII stopped at the door and looked around. Xiao Bing did not know if he sensed his presence, or he was just cautious. Xiao Bing hid behind the trash can, and Feng XIII did not notice him.
After confirming that no one was around, Feng XIII opened the door and walked in. There was a humming voice in the room, as if someone was crying for help with his mouth gagged. Fortunately, it seemed that the man with God’s blood was not dead yet. It was reasonable. Since Feng XIII paid a big price to capture this person, he could not let this person die so easily. After all, according to experimental data, a dead man with God’s blood would be useless, while the living one would be different.
Xiao Bing hesitated. It was not the right time to break-in. Although he was not afraid of Feng XIII, if the battle between two masters who were at the Breaking the Void Level hurt the people, it would be troublesome. Xiao Bing was told to bring the man with God’s blood back alive. Unless it was absolutely necessary, he would not let him die.
In fact, even if Xiao Bing killed this man in Country R, he would have completed the task. But if he could capture this person alive, it would be a great consummation. But he had no chance now, so Xiao Bing decided to wait.
There were many empty rooms in the ship, because most of the people were on the deck, not in the rooms. Feng XIII only had a dozen or so of his own people, most of who were patrolling on the deck, and only a few of them rested in the cabins.
Xiao Bing quietly entered an empty room and locked the door quietly. This room was very close to Feng XIII’s. If Feng XIII did something, Xiao Bing could hear him. With this crisis going on, what Xiao Bing had to do next was to sleep…
