Chapter 1179: Chapter 1181: The Return Journey
Watching the roaring flas, Lin Fei made a decision to imdiately steer the ship towards the island and have the elderly, won, and children who had fallen into the water co aboard. As for the young n, they made their way to the shore, imrsing themselves in the seawater to avoid the assault of the flas.
The raging fire blazed across the entire island. Even from a distance, Lin Fei could feel the clear scorching heat. If he were to stand on the vast sand at the foot of the mountain, his soaked clothes would likely dry very quickly.
Large quantities of drugs turned into smoke and dust in the flas, eventually dissipating into the boundless sky. Due to the temperature difference, a strong wind suddenly picked up, and a patch of dark clouds appeared in the sky. Before long, a torrential rain ca pouring down, and in this downpour, the flas turned into a weak group and were quickly extinguished by the heavy rain.
Rolling white smoke gathered towards the dark clouds, making this world even darker, to the point that one couldn’t see their hand in front of them, only the clear sky beyond the clouds.
"Boss, are we not leaving? The flas have stopped, and we can let these people go ashore completely; otherwise, if we wait too long, sothing might change," Brick Keiron said.
"Brick Keiron, imdiately dock the ship at the shore and let these people disembark. I believe that by tomorrow, the events here will spread, and the authorities will naturally send people to co," Lin Fei said.
"Yes, Boss."
Brick Keiron imdiately ordered the ship to dock and let the elderly, won, and children disembark, leaving them to await rescue on the island. Among them, Smith, who had been observing from the side, suddenly blended into the crowd and headed for the disembarkation.
At this mont, a small monkey directly grabbed Smith, blocking his path. Smith looked at Lin Fei and said, "Boss, I’ve helped you already. Now, shouldn’t you let
go?"
Lin Fei smiled and said, "Of course, I can let you go. But I’d promised to take you away. If you return to the island now, aren’t you making
break my promise?"
Smith chuckled and replied, "There’s no need to trouble you, Boss. I can get off here. I suddenly realized I have so friends here I haven’t said goodbye to. I’m going down to bid farewell, and then I’ll leave. You guys won’t be able to wait for that long, so you should go ahead without waiting for ."
Having said that, Smith still planned to leave. He knew that if he really stayed here, he might never leave this "pirate ship." After all, now was the best chance, and whether Lin Fei would let him go depended on his performance here.
But he was destined to be disappointed; Lin Fei had no intention of letting Smith go. To those who knew his secrets, they either died or beca his brothers, so Smith had no choice: "Smith, I hope you listen to my decision. Otherwise, don’t bla ."
Lin Fei was too lazy to argue with him, so he directly issued a cold threat, perhaps the only way to dismiss Smith’s current idea of leaving.
Smith furrowed his brow, realizing from this that Lin Fei did not want him to leave. No wonder, thinking back, he should never have seen Lin Fei’s true face, given that Lin Fei always appeared with a mask. This further explained that, having seen his true face, leaving would be difficult.
Moreover, Smith suspected that Lin Fei valued his abilities, which is why he was still alive. Otherwise, things might have already turned dangerous. As for agreents and rules, secrets would always be the best excuse.
"Then I hope you can keep your promise, Boss. Once we reach the other side of the ocean, you’ll let
go," Smith said.
Lin Fei did not reply and looked into the distance. The once vibrant island had turned into a charred wasteland overnight, reminding him of the vulnerability of humans against the might of nature, deepening his understanding.
When Lin Fei returned to the shore, Smith once again asked to disembark. Lin Fei looked at Smith and asked, "Smith, what did you just say?"
Smith paused, not understanding Lin Fei’s aning. After a mont, he said, "I said, Boss, you should let
go now. What’s the point of keeping
here?"
"The first few words," Lin Fei said.
"I said, Boss, you..."
"Alright, that’s it. Did you call
Boss?" Lin Fei asked.
Smith nodded, "Yes, so what?"
Lin Fei sighed, "Only my brothers can call
Boss. You understand what this ans, right? From now on, you’re my brother, so you’ll have to follow ."
Smith frowned, feeling a bit angry. He called Lin Fei "Boss" out of respect and fear that Lin Fei might use his lack of respect as a reason to harm him. That’s why he called Lin Fei "Boss." But unexpectedly, Lin Fei was using this as a reason to keep him here, and he obviously didn’t agree.
Just as Smith wanted to retort, a gun was suddenly pointed at his head. Smith turned his eyes to the person aiming at him— it was Brick Keiron!
"The Boss saying you’re his brother is giving you face. Don’t disgrace yourself. In the rcenary World, many want to be the Boss’s brother, so consider it an honor," Brick Keiron said coldly.
Smith swallowed his words and nodded. Brick Keiron’s words revealed a lot: they were rcenaries, and Lin Fei was a big figure. However, Smith couldn’t understand why such a figure would wear a creepy mask.
"Smith, if you follow , I won’t treat you unfairly. Do you have any wishes? Speak out, and I can help you fulfill them," Lin Fei said.
Everyone was montarily speechless. Brick Keiron said, "Boss, you’re not Aladdin’s lamp. How can every wish be fulfilled? Let’s keep it realistic, okay?"
Lin Fei laughed heartily and said, "Indeed, I can’t fulfill every wish, but so small ones I can. Speak, Smith, what do you want to do now?"
Smith’s mind flashed with that silhouette, and he said, "I want to see my Siida!"
"Siida?"
Lin Fei and the others exchanged glances and burst into laughter. Brick Keiron said, "Smith, if it’s your beloved, just say so. Why use the Iron Country language for Liguo slang? What’s so great about speaking the language of the Liguo sticks?"
Smith was dumbfounded, realizing they misunderstood. He said, "When I said Siida, I ant a person, not Liguo language."
"Oh, I see!" Everyone imdiately understood.
