Yao Hu was delighted.
He had gotten this thing for free, so his profit depended entirely on the price he set.
Sure enough.
A business with no overhead was the way to go.
Wasn't this more profitable than selling fakes? Even fakes cost money.
"Damn!"
Xu Yanxing swore.
Looks like I got the short end of the stick.
"All right."
"Let's keep moving."
"We're almost at the docks. Once we're aboard, we'll be safe. The Amber has cannons. If we run into evil spirits, we can blast the bastards," Yao Hu said, changing the subject.
Clang.
Just then.
The sound of something heavy hitting the ground suddenly came from the nearby street.
Then.
Faint gunshots rang out.
"Someone's there?"
Li Wei looked up, instinctively shielding his daughter behind him. Yao Hu's grin disappeared as well, his expression turning serious.
"There are other people out in weather like this?"
Xu Yanxing frowned.
"What kind of question is that? We're out here too." Yao Hu narrowed his eyes.
That was true enough.
But he already had a dagger in his hand.
Ready to strike at any moment.
Tap! Tap! Tap!
Footsteps approached through the alley. Soon, a somewhat concentrated beam of light appeared in the darkness.
Two bedraggled-looking figures ran out.
They wore crew uniforms and sailors' boots. One, however, had quite a few decorations on his clothing, looking more distinguished and higher-ranking. He was probably one of the ship's officers.
At that moment.
The two stumbled out.
Before they could steady themselves, they spotted the four people across from them in the street and froze.
"People?"
The Third Mate and the sailor looked grim.
Running into people during a gale was not a good sign. Normal people would not go out at a time like this, much less come to this
