SURVIVORS
Chaptre 247. Second Incident
That evening Dean delivered Cloudy's food. Captain Smith let him in. But don't greet him at all. His face still looks sour. Dean was also careless and preferred to pet Cloudy. The cabin was quiet.
Then there was a commotion outside. The captain opened his cabin door to see what was happening.
In the middle of the deck, there was a man yesterday. Jason hit someone. He did not accept it and there was a serious fight. His guards tried to break up the fight while protecting him. But it pushed him to fall.
"You have to be careful with them" Captain Smith said.
Dean peeked out. Look who Captain Smith meant. That slovenly man from the middle room!
Jason fell face down and couldn't get up. His guard fainted after being hit by the man in his chest. A loud punch that threw him to the edge of the ship, then fainted.
Dean was out to help him. But Captain Smith held his hand.
"Wait for the man to leave" he said without taking his eyes off the deck.
Dean scrunched his forehead in wonder.
"Are you afraid of him?" search Dean.
"My responsibility is to take care of the life of the entire crew and its cargo. Keep this ship intact and business can run longer" Captain Smith said.
"If they're evil, why did you let them come with your ship?" Dean was astonished by the decision the captain had made.
"They're not the ones who can be offended. There are strong supporters behind them. Even the Port City Chief could not do much to block them from entering the city. What else is just a boat ride!" Captain Smith snorted irritatedly at Dean's response.
"He's gone. You can help them if you want. Or, just ignore it!"
Captain Smith closed the door of his cabin and continued his activities at the table.
Dean stepped out without answering.
"Until tomorrow, Cloudy," Dean said. Cloudy replied with a spoiled growl, then returned cool with his rations.2 fresh fish!
Dean shut the captain's cabin door.
"Cloudy, you're lucky to have a master like him. You can even eat fresh fish of that size. 2 anyway" chirped Captain Smith.
"Wait on! Fresh fish? How did he get it?" muttered Captain Smith. Despite thinking hard, the captain still could not think of a reasonable way.
Outside, Dean checked the guards lying on the side of the ship. That guy's still alive.
Dean knocked on the door of the cabin at the very end. A man opens the door.
"I think your friend passed out there!" dean said to tell.
"What?" He looked out, and recognized Jason who was face down and was still trying to be able to sit down.
"Brian, Mr. Jason!" he screamed at the cabin door.
Then 3 people who were there, jumped out. They took their friend into the cabin. And Brian took Jason alone.
Dean watched Jason as he passed by. It seemed that he had received a serious blow. Jason had trouble breathing.
"Can you treat it?" ask Dean to worry.
"Thank you."
That's the only word Dean got. Brian and Jason then disappear behind the cabin door. Dean sighed. He can't do anything either.

3 Days passed.
Dean fed Cloudy that morning. Still with fresh fish. Captain Smith could no longer hold back his curiosity.
"How can you get fresh fish for him?" ask Captain Smith.
"Take it from the sea. There are so many fish in the sea." Dean cuek.
"When did you take it? I've never seen you fish." Captain Smith breaks Dean's argument.
"So you're watching me heh?" dean showed a dislike face.
"All the people and goods on this ship are under my watch!" Captain Smith showed his power.
"Why do you want to know?" dean asked to switch the subject.
"The fish stocks on the ship are exhausted. I'm tired of eating vegetables. But in the port city there is no meat except fish...."
"So you want my fish?" Dean cut off Captain Smith's words.
"I'll consider it!" Answer Dean cuek.
"Well! You're this. Just as difficult as facing your brother-in-law. You guys are so calculated." Captain grumbling.
"When we meet again Cloudy." Dean opened the cabin door and stepped out.
"If there's no obstacle, tomorrow we'll be in Levin's town."
The Captain's voice stopped Dean's steps. He turned his head towards the Captain who looked at him calmly.
"Ships will lean and unload for a week. You can take a walk in the city and enjoy the atmosphere. Or buy supplies."
Dean nodded and smiled mysteriously.
"Captain, I smelled a stench in your cabin today. You can clean it up casually when the ship docks tomorrow!" Dean walked away.
The captain sighed after the door was closed.
"You're busted!" captain Smith said coldly.
Someone hiding under the captain's desk, came out and showed himself.
"Hehehee. You're playing the word to warn him, aren't you?"
The man tried to intimidate Captain Smith. But it's not that easy to disturb the peace of a man who has 30 years of experience at sea.
"You really stink! He's telling the truth. You dismantled your own hideout!"
The captain replied with sharp words. He was fed up of seeing the arrogance of the man every time he hitched a ride on his ship.
The man laughed loudly at Captain Smith's comment.
"What is the shower for? It's a waste of time! Haha...."
The man walked towards the cage.
"You'll be mine soon!"
He put his hand in front of the cage. But Cloudy immediately growled and clawed at the stranger's hand.
"Fucking beast! Just look, after your master dies, then it will be your turn to be skinned!" angry shouting.
Cloudy continued to growl and began to shake his cage. He showed pointy teeth and fangs as sharp as the sword, to threaten the person who disturbed him.
"Stay away from there if you don't want to get hurt. He doesn't know you, he doesn't like you! Get out of here!"
Captain Smith kicked the man out of the cabin. He has the tolerance to transport it, for the safety of the entire crew and this ship. But the man always wanted to rob and harass other passengers. He can't take it anymore.
'If only anyone could overcome this obnoxious man and throw him into the sea' Inner Captain Smith.
Prosecutors!!
The captain's cabin door slammed hard. A crew passing by on the deck, saw that and was shocked. Wrong, he stopped and watched the man who had just exited the captain's cabin in anger.
"See what you are? Are you tired of living?!" The man shouted loudly.
The crew hurriedly went the other way.
The man crossed the deck with his snob. Across there stood Dean and Sunil. He passed both of them while walking towards his cabin. He deliberately nudged Sunil's body with his elbow. Sunil swiftly dodged and hit his back. He staggered 2 steps forward. Then turned around and looked at Sunil wrathfully.
He wanted to shout furiously, but what sounded was a sigh of pain.
"Akhn...." The stinky man tried to reach his back to find out what had hurt him. But he even began to struggle to maintain his standing position.
"Akkkkhhh!!!" his screams were so loud.
Two of his friends immediately exited the cabin and found his partner was already crouching on the floor. On the left of the 2 cabin men next door, were watching. On the right, 2 other men were also watching.
"What's going on?" ask one of them.
"They.." the stinky man pointed towards Dean and Sunil.
His friend looked at Dean and Sunil with displeased eyes.
"Hey, we're just standing here looking at the scenery!" Sunil returned the gaze of that person boldly.
The other 2 men on the other end were still observing. They were Jason's bodyguards. Alan and Robert exited the cabin after hearing the commotion at the door. The captain also observed the incident from his wide-open cabin. Smile rattled.
