Jiang Chuan decided to set off tonight to overturn Bloodfang Island. Considering that Titan might have lost his human consciousness, Jiang Chuan decided to directly summon Titan to Bloodfang Island upon arrival. At that time, Titan would attack without Jiang Chuan's command. He would also create some momentum to instill fear in those people, such as a human standing on Titan's shoulder...

The reason Jiang Chuan chose the Bloodfang Gang was because they trafficked people. Another reason was that the Bloodfang Gang kept children, and Jiang Chuan saw the potential in those children, who could also be cultivated into Jiang Chuan's confidantes.

"From Roland's memories, Old Jack was indeed good to Roland. Although he talked about money with Roland, he actually asked for very little. Since I am Roland now, I must handle this properly. I remember he has a daughter in Demacia. I'll send him to Demacia after this is over. Old Jack has been in Bilgewater long enough. With his medical skills, he won't have trouble making a living even in Demacia."

Bloodfang Island...

"You bunch of brats, hurry up and train, don't slack off, do you want a whipping!"

"Brother, when can we go home? I'm scared."

Kelly hugged his sister and comforted her, "It's okay, we'll go home soon. Brother just got a bread from the mess hall. Tell me when you're hungry later."

The little one giggled softly, "Okay, Brother is the best. Will you continue the story you told me last night tonight, Brother?"

Kelly dotingly rubbed his sister's head, "Okay, okay."

This place was located deep underground on Bloodfang Island, and the guards were very strict. Even though the Bloodfang Gang could dominate Bilgewater, they didn't dare to openly engage in such activities. They not only trained assassins but also sold little girls to nobles. Even the wickedest people in Bilgewater were still human, and these actions had already touched the bottom line of morality.

The sun gradually set below the horizon, dyeing the entire ocean orange, which was intoxicating. This was also a unique landscape of Bilgewater.

Jiang Chuan looked at the sea, his heart unable to calm down for a long time. Although Roland had a lot of blood on his hands, he was Jiang Chuan, not Roland. He had killed many people these past few days. Although they were not killed by his own hands, he had ordered their deaths, and he still felt a burden in his heart.

Looking at the sea, Jiang Chuan sighed and made up his mind, "I, Jiang Chuan, am not a heartless person, but for the sake of going home, I will not let anyone who stands in my way go!"

After making up his mind, the light in Jiang Chuan's eyes became sharper. The sun had completely set by then. Jiang Chuan rented a small boat and prepared to row towards Bloodfang Island. Entry to Bloodfang Island was very strict; not only were clothes inspected, but boats were also checked. Bringing a boatman would be too risky. If his abilities were exposed, he would be outnumbered. If Old Jack were implicated, Jiang Chuan would feel too guilty.

Unknowingly, Jiang Chuan had already rowed into Bloodfang Island's territorial waters. A fleet approached, and the captain shouted, holding a flintlock gun, "What are you doing?"

Jiang Chuan recited his prepared lines, "I'm here to join the Bloodfang Gang. I'm an excellent harpooner, please take me in."

The captain laughed, "So you're a down-and-out fellow. Did you lose all your possessions in the casino? Hahahaha."

Jiang Chuan's face turned red and he said, "I'll win it back! They cheated!"

The little captain laughed, "Follow closely, or I won't be responsible if you get riddled with bullets."

Jiang Chuan feigned fear and followed the little captain closely. Soon, they landed. After landing, the little captain said with a smile, "Go to the building on the west side to complete the procedures."

Jiang Chuan took out a silver coin and quietly slipped it into the captain's hand, saying, "Captain, this is a small token of my appreciation."

The captain smiled, "You're a clever kid, you know how to get by. Go to the second building on the west side."

After smiling and seeing off the little captain, Jiang Chuan began to search for where the children were being held. The main purpose of this trip was to rescue the children, and taking over the Bloodfang Gang was secondary. He could not harm the children in the process of destruction.

Jiang Chuan wandered around. Since Jiang Chuan had dealt with the leader of the Bloodfang Gang and a team of elite musketeers the day before yesterday, the entire Bloodfang Gang was in a state of panic, and their defenses were not very strict. This provided Jiang Chuan with a great opportunity. After looking around, Jiang Chuan found that the guards were very strict in a small house to the north, so it was likely where the children were being held.

Jiang Chuan planned to summon Titan in front of the main hall on the east side. With Titan's size, the people in the main hall would also die quickly.

The guards at the entrance of the grand hall pointed their guns at Jiang Chuan and roared, "This is a restricted area, unauthorized personnel are not allowed! Get lost!"

Jiang Chuan smiled and snapped his fingers, saying, "I only need to snap my fingers and half of you will die."

The guards burst into laughter, "So he's a lunatic. Hurry up and get lost! Otherwise, don't blame me for being merciless with my musket!"

Jiang Chuan shook his head and said in an extremely ostentatious pose, "I choose you, Nautilus. Come out."

With a snap of his fingers, Jiang Chuan summoned Nautilus. Nautilus looked around in confusion after being summoned. Although he had no face, Jiang Chuan felt he could communicate with him. Jiang Chuan gave a command to destroy wantonly. Nautilus swung his anchor and smashed into the crowd. Wherever it hit, there was a bloody mess and screams.

Jiang Chuan returned to the small hut on the east side. At this time, all the guards had gone to the grand hall to deal with Nautilus, so they had no time to manage this area. Jiang Chuan went straight in and saw the panicked little faces in the basement. The sliver of pity in Jiang Chuan's heart instantly vanished.

Most of these children were only seven or eight, or ten years old. They were all locked in cages. Judging by their complexion, the Bloodfang Gang probably hadn't provided them with much food.

Jiang Chuan found the key and released all the children.

Jiang Chuan arranged all the children in the main hall and said with a smile, "Children, from today onwards, you are free. You can tell me your family names, or your parents' names, and I will help you find them. I think you must be hungry. Shall we go to the mess hall and eat all the food belonging to these bad guys now?"

These children couldn't quite accept Jiang Chuan's sudden arrival for the time being. Jiang Chuan's strategy was that once they were full, everything would be fine.

Jiang Chuan led the children to the mess hall to eat. The children ate happily with all sorts of meat, bread, and other things. Jiang Chuan watched the children with joy. A little girl holding a piece of bread walked up to Jiang Chuan and said in a soft, sweet voice, "Big brother, you eat too."

A little boy walked over and stood in front of his sister, saying nervously, "Sir, my sister is ignorant and has offended you. Please forgive her, you are a magnanimous person."

Jiang Chuan felt a pang of heartache at the boy's familiar gesture. Jiang Chuan picked up the little girl and smiled, "What are your names? Do you have any relatives who know you were captured here?"

The little boy said, "My name is Kelly, and my sister's name is Kaili. We've lived on the streets of Bilgewater since we were young. We have no relatives; we are each other's family."

Jiang Chuan smiled and said, "Then are you willing to help me? Although I've dealt with all the bad guys from the Bloodfang Gang, I need you to be my strongest support. Are you willing?"

Kaili looked at Jiang Chuan with her big, watery eyes and asked, "Can I eat bread every day then?"

Jiang Chuan rubbed her little head and said, "Not only bread, but also things tastier than bread. In the future, I will also take you out of Bilgewater, to the beautiful Ionia and Demacia, and travel all over this continent with you!"

Kaili cheered, "I'm willing! Brother, shall we follow this big brother?"

Kelly said helplessly, "Then sir, what should we call you?"

Jiang Chuan smiled and said, "You can call me Guild Leader. My name is Roland."

Kelly looked at the many children in the hall and asked, "Guild Leader, will you take them in too?"

Jiang Chuan looked at the children wolfing down their food and said, "I will send them home. For those without a home, wherever I go is their home!"
