Chapter 267: Whether To Follow or Not
Thats all D. You can go back.
The atmosphere in the cabin turned more serious after Leo sent D away.
Damn that Yanran! If she wanted to die, why did she have to drag Oleen with her?! That woman is a walking disaster. She only knows how to seduce men! Milty was both angry and scared.
She was afraid her Oleen would be in danger and at the same she was sad he never treated her as a fianc. If hed given her any thought at all, he wouldnt have left with another woman.
What would others think if this got out? Oleen wasnt thinking at all!
Your anger isnt going to help anything. We should think about what to do now. It wasnt that Leo wasnt also angry, he was, but he knew anger wouldnt get them anywhere. They had to think about what to do.
Dont worry about them. If they want to die, just let them. The situation was settled yesterday. If they die out there, its got nothing to do with us. Jier spat his words out mercilessly, not caring one whit about the other two.
Jiers words werent good, but they were fair. The school wouldnt blame anyone for team members who died on a mission as a result of disobeying orders.
No . . . no. Yanran, we can ignore, but Oleen is just bewitched by her. We have to save him. Milty really loved him. Even if she was sad he left her, she still cared about him.
Jier wasnt having any of it. Bewitched by Yanran? Why is it all the single men here arent, but the one guy whos engaged is?
Miltys face blanched; she couldnt rebut his words. Even if Oleen didnt have a place for her in his heart, she still loved him. She could only hope hed be moved by her dedication and love her back one day. She had loved him since they were little children.
She never expected his head would be turned by a woman he knew for only a few days. She couldnt share her pain with outsiders. Although she was distressed by her fiancs abandonment, she was more concerned about his safety. She couldnt bear to stand by and not do anything.
She stood in front of Ming Xi and bowed deeply. Captain, I beg you, please save Oleen. I dont want anything bad to befall him.
What does everyone else think? Ming Xi didnt reply to her question, instead he asked the rest of the team for their thoughts.
Lets go take a look. If those two do end up in danger, well end up troubled. It didnt sit right with Leo to let his classmates die without doing anything.
I dont care either way. This came from Ink.
You chose. Feng Wu said.
You make the plans Senior Ming Xi. Jier replied.
Ten minutes later, everyone came to an agreement. They would bring Yanran and Oleen back.
Yanran and Oleen had several hours head start. It would take the team more than a few hours to catch up, but that didnt matter because they knew the destination.
They have to be on their way to the pirates hideout.
Yeah, but where is it?
I dont know, but I overhead the Bohai people say the pirates who kidnapped the princess were from the Red Skull group.
It would be easy to find them now that they knew the name of the pirate group. Every pirate group had their own islands where they lived when not sailing. They also stored all their stolen loot there. In short, it was their lair.
To find where the pirates stayed, they would need a guide familiar with the nearby waters. They had several candidates on board. The captain alone had over fifty years of experience sailing the waters around the area.
The captains first reaction to the groups desire to travel to Red Skulls hideout wasnt great. He thought they would die.
Red Skull members killed without blinking. So many had died at their hands. Who would want to voluntarily go to them? Wouldnt it be equivalent to seeking death?!
Masters and misses, its better not to go. Red Skull isnt a group you should provoke. I heard their leader is a swordsman of a powerful sect. There are more than three hundred Red Skull members in total. Every one of them is skilled with the sword. You, with so few people, wouldnt that just be walking to your deaths?!
The old captain was worried about them, but he was most worried about his crew. He did not want to take his men to accompany these young masters and misses to death.
Do not worry Captain. We just want to know where the pirates keep their lair. You wont have to lead the way. Ming Xi never expected the captain to bring them.
The team could escape if they offended the pirates, but the captain and his family lived in the area. He and his family wouldnt have a future if they offended the pirates.
The captain wasnt embarrassed by Ming Xis read of the situation, on the contrary, he was quite relived. As long as he didnt have to take his crew to their deaths, he didnt care.
There was no reason to die needlessly. The captain could tell the group was adamant about finding the pirates. He wouldnt try to dissuade them, instead he opened a map chart and pointed to the islands the Red Skulls used as a lair.
Its here, called Demon Wind island. Its named after their first leader. The current leader is the fifth generation Demon Winds great, great, great, great, great grandson.
Demon Wind island . . .
It was a hand drawn map chart made by the old captain. It was relatively accurate even when considering the possible deviation errors. The information would be useful for finding Yanran and Oleen.
They knew where the lair was, but they couldnt all go and chase after Yanran and Oleen. They still had their mission to complete on Sanye Island after all. The team needed to figure out how to split up.
Ultimately Ming Xi decided to bring Feng Wu and Jier with him for the rescue. Feng Wu and Jier were both masters of powerful artifacts, so their combat powers were off the scale. Why would anyone with access to weapons of mass destruction not bring them with?
Milty wasnt strong enough so Ming Xi refused her request to go with the group.
