Chapter 498: Chapter 500: Robbery!_1

Dragon Three nonchalantly turned around, first inspecting Nan Feng’s ship, then the neighboring one, before his gaze settled on the river. "The other one is also a regular cargo ship, owned by a dockside freelancer. I have seen it several times before causing no trouble. However, if you are concerned about them posing a threat, I can arrange for some men to secretly escort you to Provincial City."

"This..." Nan Feng recalled the injured worker and the gaze of that man, then she nodded. "Alright, I’m sorry to be a bother again."

"There is no need for such formalities between us," Dragon Three said and glanced towards the butler, whispering a few instructions.

...

As the boat reached the middle of the river, the fog began to thicken.

Nan Feng usually sat inside the cabin due to her fear of the shadowy decks, but occasionally, workers going in and out would lift the curtain, revealing a view of the river.

"Miss Nan, it seems a ship is pursuing us," a worker reported.

"Is the one chasing us the boat with a blue sail and no markings?" Nan Feng inquired.

The man in black had boarded the boat with the blue sail.

"Yes, it’s the blue one, and it’s closer now!" The worker confirmed.

Nan Feng, overcoming her fear of shadows, walked onto the deck.

The ship was drawing nearer, on the verge of catching up, and several black-clad men carrying knives had emerged onboard. Nan Feng quickly instructed the helmsman of her ship to row harder, and for a moment, the gap widened.

However, the other ship boasted numerous men, their rowing was swift, and they quickly caught up again.

"Hey, hand over your cargo, and we’ll spare your lives; otherwise, all of you on this boat will be feeding the fish!" a man from the other boat yelled at Nan Feng.

They were after her cargo!

No doubt they are more underhanded rivals, Nan Feng thought. Besides instructing her crew to row faster, she also lit the signal flare Dragon Three had given her.

Two loud "bangs" echoed in the sky, and when she looked up, white smoke filled the air.

The men on that boat panicked. "What do we do? Are they members of the Dragon Tooth Gang?"

"We can’t worry about that now, let’s execute the task assigned by our superior quickly!"

Again, the crew on board pushed to pursue Nan Feng, but as the thick smoke dissipated, several small boats appeared on the river ahead."

These small boats moved unusually quickly, and in no time, they had surrounded Nan Feng’s ship.

"The Dragon Tooth Gang is here!"

"What do we do?"

"Retreat!"

Thinking on her feet, Nan Feng promptly threw out the short knife in her hand!

Previously, unsure of the number of men on the other boat, she dared not make a move. But with the arrival of Dragon Tooth Gang, she was no longer afraid.

With a few ’whooshes’, all the men on that ship were knocked over.

Nan Feng had not aimed for vital areas, her short knives had all hit their legs.

From the cabin of that boat emerged another dozen men, but they were swiftly subdued by the newly arrived Dragon Tooth Gang.

A few boats were tied together. Nan Feng jumped onto the adjacent boat, watching the interrogations led by the Dragon Tooth Gang.

The methods the Dragon Tooth gang employed in their interrogation were very characteristic of the Jianghu. No confession? No problem, they’d chop off hands and feet. Fearing the worst, their captives soon gave in, confessing they were paid to fulfil the task. However, they had no idea who their employer was. They were just doing a job for the money - that person wanted her cargo thrown into the river."

Nan Feng had a vague idea who could be behind this."
