Return From The Immortal World
Chapter 307: The Deliverer
Time passed and over a hundred people in the hall grew increasingly desperate. Except for a few people who knew of the existence of the Island of the Nine Dragons, the rest had never heard of this place. Such an alien environment, pirates were brutal and, coupled with the sound of gunfire being heard from time to time, it was as if Taoist voodoo spells accelerated them to death and frightened them.
In the corner, Yi Lianyan had already severed the rope that tied her hands behind her. However, she had not yet woken up and even pushed him back into a corner and maintained the same posture. But his hand tightly held the folding fruit knife.
She loves the ocean and uses her summer vacation from Shanghai to visit South Bird Island. Enjoy the taste of the customs and visit the beautiful environment there, even the only hotel where he stayed facing the sea. It was as if a warm spring with flowers blooming everywhere.
Unfortunately, after living on South Bird Island for more than half a month, when he was about to go to other islands near South Bird Island, he, the pirates who sneaked into the island started looting them. Thanks to her life in the Sichuan Opera family that had the magic appearance technique changed for generations, hence, she quickly used the cosmetics she brought to change her appearance when the pirates did not notice her.
She really had a pretty face, but as a result of her efforts, she looked extremely ugly. It was precisely because of this that he was fortunate enough to escape the abuse and damage of the pirates and was locked up with a few others.
“Everyone please think of the solution! We can escape even if only one person breaks his rope, ”Kawasaki Oshima is restless when he sweats profusely.
After half a minute, no one responded. No one woke up
Yi Lianyan's expression kept changing. He didn't know if there were any pirates outside. If they were still there and found out that he was the first one to open the rope, they would probably kill him.
‘What should I do?’
In his innermost heart, a fierce battle began, causing his expression to constantly change.
Regardless I have to keep going. Even if there is little chance of survival, I must master it. It is better to act than to surrender to death and do nothing. ‘A determined expression finally appeared in Yi Lianyan's eyes as she removed the rope from her body and suddenly stood up.
“Bang ..”
The sound of a shot being held sounded.
Yi Lianyan's face changed greatly. He immediately judged that someone had just shot the key at the door of the hall. Almost in an instant, he crouched on the floor, scrambling to pick up the rope and casually wrapped it around his body.
In the next moment, the door of the hall was trampled open as several casual-clothed men with submachine guns rushed into the hall. Upon seeing the situation inside, they instantly pointed their muzzles at the people inside.
“The hostages are here, Boss!” A man looked up and shouted outwards.
Tang Xiu's figure appeared at the door as his eyes swept over the crowd in the hall with anger suffused in his eyes. Most of these hostages are women, most of whom are in very sad and humiliating conditions and appear to have been raped and vandalized.
In a corner, Yi Lianyan's eyes immediately widened with a joyous expression in her eyes. The big man who had just spoken it did not use English or Japanese. It's pure Mandarin.
‘Mandarin? Are they from China? ”
His breathing changed faster. After strengthening his heart, he immediately stood up and shouted, “Hei, I am Chinese, and you?”
Tang Xiu was stunned, seeing Yi Lianyan's extremely ugly face change and found that her clothes were still intact with only a few scratches on her face. He immediately approached her and said, “Yes, we are Chinese. I do not expect that these pirates have also kidnapped one of his compatriots. What's your name?”
“Yi Lianyan!”
“How did you get caught?” Ask Tang Xiu.
“I visited this place, made use of my summer vacation after CET. I was finally captured and transported with them here, ” Yi Lianyan said.
Tang Xiu shook his head and sighed, “Your luck is not good, but it's not bad either. Congratuations. You're free now. ”
Several men with submachine guns lowered their muzzles and began releasing hostages. After everyone stood up, Kawasaki Oshima came before Tang Xiu with a face full of excitement and then respectfully said, “Halo, I'm Kawasaki Oshima. Thank you for saving us. You are our savior and liberator, we will remember you. ”
Tang Xiu furrowed his brows and asked lightly, “You are all Japanese?”
“Ya!” Kawasaki Oshima said.
“Rest first! I'll send some men to escort you back after dawn. Also, I hope you won't spread what's going on here, “ Tang Xiu said.
“Dear Lord, we should try our best to publicize this act of kindness. After all, you drove out those pirates and you are also our hero. It's true that everyone around the world knows your heroic act, ” Kawasaki Oshima said.
Tang Xiu nonchalantly looked at him and said lightly, “We are not heroes nor is there a need for us to save you. It's just that I've bought this island, while the pirates happen to occupy the island, so we have to expel them. Hence, saving you is just a passing incident. Not to mention that once the problem here spreads, it will only bring us a lot of trouble. ”
More than a hundred people were saved looking at each other. They did not understand what Tang Xiu said. However, Tang Xiu was the one who saved their lives, they did not want to bring trouble for him. Therefore, they promised not to reveal anything that happened in this place.
Tang Xiu then said in a deep voice, “After all, it's not very safe outside, though. Some pirates have escaped and I cannot guarantee they will not return here to avenge their comrades. So, you have to stay here until we make sure that all the remaining pirates have left. ”
“Good..”.
“Thank you..”.
“…”
Tang Xiu shook his head and was ready to leave as Yi Lianyan quickly rushed over and grabbed onto his arm. He then shook his head and said, “I don't want to stay here. Can I go with you?”
“You're the only Chinese person here?” Tang Xiu asked after hesitating for a moment.
“There is only me,” said Yi Lianyan with a nod.
“Come! Hopefully the scene outside won't scare you too much, “ Tang Xiu said.
After leaving the hall, Tang Xiu then said to some of his men who had just come out, “Limb all the corpses and then wait for Wolf Head and the others to return.”
“Ya!” Some men immediately dispersed after hearing that.
Half an hour later, Wolf Head, the Mo brothers, and the others arrived back and carried six corpses. After throwing the corpses into the square outside the castle, Wolf Head respectfully said, “Bos, we only caught six, some of them have escaped. After we chased after them, we discovered that some of the pirates had long since left by ship. ”
Tang Xiu nodded, “Since they have escaped, just think of this as their luck. Anyway, stack all the bodies! After burning them, we will clean the castle. ”
“Ya!” Wolf Head replied respectfully.
Tang Xiu then looked to Mo Awen and said, “After dawn, take some people and take the civilian captives to South Bird Island. Once you get there, warn them to keep it a secret. ”
“Understood!” Mo Awen replied with a nod.
After a fierce and intense night battle, only a few of the 200 pirates escaped as all the others were killed here, making Tang Xiu somewhat satisfied with the victory. None of his men were killed and only a few were injured.
However, the damage to the castle was not small due to the gun battle. However, since Tang Xiu had planned to rebuild the place, he did not seriously think about it. With Mo Awu accompanying her, she visited the entire castle and took a walk for a few hours before returning to the square outside the castle with satisfaction.
Yi Lianyan, who had been following Tang Xiu, tried to ask him many times, however, seeing how enthusiastic Tang Xiu was, she pressed her question inside.
At this time, he finally couldn't help but ask, “Sister Tang, did you really buy this island?”
“Yup,” Tang Xiu laughs.
Again, he asked, “Who are you really? What would you do with such a remote island? As far as I know, it might take 24 hours to sail from here to South Bird Island. Also, this place is very difficult to find if you do not have proper navigation of sea routes. ”
“Are you reading Peach Blossom Spring Tao Yuanming?” Tang Xiu laughed.
Yi Lianyan's eyes stared wide, dumbfounded, “I have. This is the knowledge in the first high school textbooks. You mean ... You want to build heaven here? ”
“Yes. I want to build heaven here, “Tang Xiu laughed.
Yi Lianyan's mouth twitched a few times as she said with a strange expression, “ Rich people like you have a very special hobby. But how will your people be so strong? They killed the ferocious pirates without batting an eye. Also, the pirates had over 200 people, yet only a few of them escaped, while the rest were all killed by you and your people. Isn't this too much? ”
Tang Xiu smiled faintly, “I don't want to answer this question. But I can give you a few words for free. ”
“What words?” Yi Lianyan asked, puzzled.
Letting out a smile that was not yet like a smile, Tang Xiu said, “A really smart person is someone who knows how to pretend not to know. But someone who does not know anything but wants to know the basis of the problem is like the words – ‘ curiosity kills cat’. ”
Yi Lianyan was stunned for a moment as she then directly lowered her head and fell silent.
Making a thin smile, Tang Xiu then turned to Wolf Head and said, “I gave you ten days to investigate the entire Nine Dragons Island. I have to make sure that no one but us is in this place. In addition, I will also draw architectural designs and decide on a construction company that will cooperate with Me before I return to the mainland. ”
“Bos, I think the construction here is rather good! Why do you want to rebuild it? ”Tays Wolf Head.
