Rescue!

"What rotten luck—when it rains, it pours!" Luo cursed.

When Blackbeard returned to look for Luo, Van Augur was by his side as well.

That immediately reminded him of what had happened when he first arrived on the island.

It turned out that—

When Luo's negotiation ship had just arrived, he saw Blackbeard's pirate crew docked at the harbor.

Swain and Blackbeard were sworn enemies. Assuming Luo knew nothing, Blackbeard had approached him and exchanged pleasantries.
