Chapter 204: Chapter 101: The Dragon Roams the Shallows! Expedition to the Blue Sea!_2

The two entered Juyi Hall, and their gaze swept through the empty hall before settling on Su Changkong, who was seated high on the Whale Bone Chair.

This tall and burly man was half-reclining on the Whale Bone Chair, his appearance rugged and exuding an aura of a superior, seemingly languid, but his eyes contained an invisible oppressive force. Staring at them, their heartbeats involuntarily quickened as if a ferocious beast had fixed its gaze upon them!

“He… he is Sikong Yong? Indeed, Divine Bravery is unparalleled!”

The two swallowed hard, and even as seasoned sea pirates used to bloodshed, the presence of ‘Sikong Yong’ himself was enough to awe them. Had it been an ordinary person, they likely would have been scared out of their wits by now.

“I am Zhu Wei!”

“I am Zhu Feng!”

“We’ve come to see Gang Leader Sikong!”

Both bowed their hands in salute and introduced themselves in unison.

“No need for formalities. Have you two come from afar for the matter of Sikong Zhan? Speak, how is he faring?”

Su Changkong asked indifferently, his voice not loud, yet Zhu Wei and Zhu Feng felt as if it thundered in their ears.

Zhu Wei gathered his thoughts before replying, “Reporting to Gang Leader Sikong, Young Gang Leader Sikong Zhan is unharmed and is currently a guest at our leader Li Hun’s residence.”

This statement brought joy to Sikong Wen and Sikong Huang, who felt a wave of relief upon hearing this direct admission from the two men, now sure that Sikong Zhan was indeed not dead, but merely taken hostage!

Su Changkong remained silent, while Sikong Wen couldn’t help but press, “You two are here under Li Hun’s orders, right? Just say it. What are Li Hun’s conditions to release Zhan Er?”

Everyone understood that if Li Hun sent messengers, he surely intended to use Sikong Zhan as a bargaining chip to gain an advantage!

Zhu Wei and Zhu Feng exchanged looks, with the slightly younger Zhu Feng responding, “Our leader did instruct us that he has terms he wishes to discuss. However, we hold little sway and are not worthy to negotiate such terms, so we kindly ask Gang Leader Sikong to visit our leader’s residence to discuss this matter personally for a definite resolution.”

Upon hearing this, the expressions on Sikong Wen and Sikong Huang’s faces changed abruptly.

Li Hun, known as the Ninth Grand Thief of the Blue Rain Sea, commanding large forces and with numerous lieutenants, now wanted Sikong Yong to come to his territory to negotiate terms? It was clearly a trap!

Moreover, it had been almost half a year since Sikong Yong reemerged from seclusion, and now Li Hun was sending messengers to the Giant Whale Gang. This indicated that Li Hun had been preparing during this time, and he was ready to lure Sikong Yong into his den!

One could imagine that place must certainly be an extremely dangerous place, and if the conditions were not met, leaving would be difficult.

By using Sikong Zhan as leverage, Li Hun was openly plotting to draw the imposing Gang Leader of Ink Forest Prefecture City into the trap he had set. Once there, it would no longer be up to him to dictate terms.

“What if I refuse to comply?”

Su Changkong stared at the two men, asking calmly.

Zhu Wei and Zhu Feng swallowed hard, hesitating, but remembering Li Hun’s instructions, they steeled themselves. Zhu Wei said gravely, “Our leader sent us with something.”

With that, Zhu Wei took out a small cloth package from his chest, which seemed to contain an item. He unwrapped the cloth with a stiff resolve, revealing its contents.

It was a finger, a pale, bloodless finger—and unmistakably a human pinky finger.

“This finger…”

Sikong Wen and Sikong Huang stood up abruptly, their faces unable to hide their shock.

Zhu Wei glanced at Su Changkong’s emotionless face and cautiously said, “Our leader mentioned… if Gang Leader Sikong does not grace him with a visit, the next thing sent will no longer be just a finger from your esteemed Gang’s Young Leader…”

Upon finishing, Zhu Wei and Zhu Feng inwardly groaned, overcome with fear, dreading that the Gang Leader of the Giant Whale Gang might crush them in a fit of rage!

To compel Sikong Yong to obediently visit his territory for negotiations, Li Hun had brutally chopped off one of Sikong Zhan’s fingers as a threat, leaving no doubt that if Sikong Yong refused to go, Li Hun would surely mutilate him beyond recognition.

These ruthless sea pirates were nothing but a band of desperados!

Su Changkong stared emotionlessly at Zhu Wei and Zhu Feng as if the threat had no effect on him. Instead, the chilling intent in his eyes caused Zhu Wei and Zhu Feng to tremble uncontrollably, their teeth chattering as if the man before them might at any moment lunge from his seat, becoming a massive beast ready to devour them.

Under that intangible pressure, Zhu Wei and Zhu Feng’s legs began to shake and, beyond their control, they fell to their knees on the floor.

Zhu Wei cried out with chattering teeth, “Gang… Gang Leader Sikong, this isn’t our fault!”

“We’re just… just the messengers!” Zhu Feng also stammered in terror.

Using the finger of one’s own son as a threat, it was entirely possible for Sikong Yong, in a fit of fury, to flay and dismember them!

“Get out!”

After a long silence, a cold voice rang out, that of ‘Sikong Yong’ seated high on the Whale Bone Chair.

“Yes… yes!”

Zhu Feng and Zhu Wei hurriedly scrambled out of Juyi Hall, rolling and crawling in their haste to leave.

In Juyi Hall, only Su Changkong, Sikong Wen, and Sikong Huang remained.

“Elder Sikong, sister, what do you think?”

Su Changkong then asked Sikong Huang and Sikong Wen.

Sikong Huang was somewhat agitated, “Of course we can’t ignore big brother’s safety! We must rescue him!”

“But this… is easier said than done! The opponent demands that the Gang Leader must visit their territory to negotiate terms, and if he goes… it will be difficult to leave!”
