Chapter 1352: A Storm is Coming
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Bruce looked at his subordinates’ report, slapped the table, and stood up.
“They’re just ten kilometers away?”
“Yes, Captain, our men saw it with their own eyes. There is also a large ship parked at the coastline ten kilometers away. Whenever Ye Ling makes a move, he will be supported by a warship. The captain is Major Mu Yuan from Country A. Hence, rumors have spread that Ye Ling’s identity is very special, and he is probably related to the army. No one can guess what role he plays. Otherwise, it would be impossible for a destroyer to obey his command. There is no sign of a destroyer on the sea yet. However, as a precautionary measure, we must not conduct the exchange at sea.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt “I never revealed our location. How did Ye Ling know where we are? Who revealed their identity? Even if he borrowed Black Rose’s forces, it is impossible for him to locate our position in such a short period of time.”
He even avoided Black Rose’s investigative methods on purpose and released an interference signal. Normally, Ye Ling could not let the Black Rose investigate for his private matters. Did he ignore Black Rose’s ban?
“Captain, since their men have already come, they probably brought Yang Ping along as well. Let’s trade on the island. We have always cooperated with the army on the island. We can negotiate with them, and as long as we give them enough benefits, they will help. Even a powerful dragon cannot crush a snake in its old haunts. If we conduct the exchange at sea, we will definitely be disadvantaged with Mu Yuan there.”
“Mu Yuan, Mu Yuan...” Bruce gritted his teeth. “Him again. If he lands into my hands one day, I will definitely let him regret it.”
He calmed down quickly. “Go and look for the person in charge. We will borrow the local army.”
“Yes!”
There was no government on the island, but there was an army. This was a legacy left behind by the pirate culture. In the early twentieth century, when pirates ran rampant, it was not easy for them to sell the stolen treasure. Most of them utilized the people on the island to traffic the goods to all corners of the world. Hence, this gave rise to many smuggling businessmen. Every businessman would raise an army to prevent being looted. As this money came from unknown sources, they could not handle it even if they were robbed. Slowly, this developed to form many armies.
Afterward, when the number of pirates dropped sharply, there were fewer businessmen. Everyone was willing to engage in proper businesses; hence, they all slowly gathered into the hands of a single businessman, and the armies also merged into one. This island took advantage of their territorial convenience. It was managed by a rich businessman who raised an army of almost three hundred men. They were responsible for the safety of shipping, and they accepted some escorting tasks occasionally.
Ye Tingyun did not fall asleep. It was destined to be a sleepless night. His brother was already ten kilometers away, and he would be home soon. At three o’clock in the morning, he felt a little sleepy. However, he suddenly regained his vitality. There was a group of people moving quickly nearby, setting something up on the island. Ye Tingyun furrowed his brows slightly and saw Bruce.
Someone knocked on the door. “Second Master, Bruce convinced the island’s army to escort him. They are going to do the exchange on the island.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“I know. Convey the news to my brother.”
“Yes!”
It would be more troublesome to exchange on land. Bruce had the advantage of numbers and borrowed the local forces. However, Bruce did not have the intention to kill him. As long as they exchange hostages peacefully, it should not lead to a battle.
It would be trickier if he wanted to bring Ye Chu away.
Ye Chu was unwilling to leave the pirate ship and had already treated this bunch of people as her family members.
His heart sank. So what?
Even if he had to force her, he must bring Ye Chu away.
