Chapter 582 - 495: Xilan’s Journey Through the Storm (Two in One)_2
He was in charge of the Sects’ accounts, and much of the sects’ wealth was gathered in his hands. Now that the pirates had arrived, what should he do?
God, if only my godfather were here...
Veldor trembled as he watched the pirates neatly board the deck of the big ship. The sailors retreated one after another, and the first mate had already gone into the cabin to gather silver from the passengers.
Before Veldor could think of a good plan, misfortune followed on its heels.
The particularly trembling Veldor seemed to have caught the attention of the pirate captain. The sinister-looking man chuckled mockingly, holding his saber as he leisurely walked up to Veldor.
"Monk’s robes... seems like you’re a True Believer. I’ve heard you guys always have full purses."
The giant behind the pirate captain pressed forward, his tall shadow enveloping Veldor in fear.
"I, I... we’re all poor, impoverished people..."
Veldor said in a trembling voice.
The pirate captain laughed even harder, as if he had heard some joke,
"Don’t be stupid! We’ve been in this business for many years; the richest haul was when we plundered a True Sect ship on a pilgrimage, netting over a thousand Fluent golds!"
His boisterous laughter caused the other pirates to erupt into laughter as well. Veldor was surrounded by their mocking laughter, shivering and at a loss.
