Chapter 639: Reclaiming One’s Own Ship
They were about to return to the same island where the pirates were. Gu Fan was a little worried about the materials left on the cargo ship. If nothing was left, would he ask the pirates for compensation? They now had a high-powered backer to help settle scores, so he wasn’t afraid to claim debts.
Stretching lazily, Gu Fan noticed Xiaohu, appearing unhappy on the deck. Gu Fan walked over, greeted him, and said, "Xiaohu, I’ve decided that I must fulfill my promise and get you home as soon as possible. So, I’ve talked to the captain and he’s going to arrange for dependable people to take you home with a ship."
On hearing this, Xiaohu was startled, then asked, "Aren’t you going to take me home yourself?"
Gu Fan apologized again, "I’m sorry, but I can’t leave the Triangle Sea Area just yet. I have stuff to do here."
"You guys are strange. Most people don’t dare to approach the Triangle Sea Area, but you guys insist on doing so. Many people have gone there never to return, yet you’ve faced so many terrifying things and have been able to survive so far," Xiaohu looked at Gu Fan with curiosity, seemingly finding him quite extraordinary.
Gu Fan scratched his head, uncertain about how to respond.
Xiaohu asked another question: "Are you not ordinary people? Sister Lin Xi seems very powerful, and that big boss you call seems even more powerful. You’re not afraid of the mist and you dare to fight it out."
Gu Fan wore a look of embarrassment: "Actually, we’re just toughing it out. We’ve been lucky so far and that has helped us overcome difficulties."
Xiaohu pondered for a moment, "If you have things to do, then let me stay with you guys. I don’t know why, but after going through so much with you, I feel safer being with you. If you let someone else take me home, even if we avoid the mist, we may not be able to escape the pirates. I have never seen anyone fight pirates as easily as you."
