Ms. Doctor Divine

Chapter 897: Rules

Wuhen was getting increasingly angry.

Pirates had their own rules – they needed money, but they did not injure people, that was why the governmental offices never punished them. In this way, those who were robbed only needed to pay some money to save their own lives.

The pirates stopped them and charged them even more money, because they saw that the boat they were riding was very luxurious. Lord Huai was too spoiled to withstand bitterness, so he chose a very luxurious one rather than an ordinary one, attracting the attention of the pirates.

Now they had got themselves out of trouble and were fine, but what about the boats that came after?

The pirates would vent their anger at them instead.

Zhou Huaiyu gave Wuhen a push when he heard Wuhen’s interrogative words, telling him not to talk about that any more.

His Eighth Brother would be very uncomfortable hearing this kind of interrogation. His Eighth Brother had never been out of capital before, so he was not aware of the danger in the society. He did not think that his Eighth Brother would understand the complications of the world.

His Eighth Brother was great to be able to have some well-trained men with him.

It was very easy to punish the pirates, but the difficult part was that the essence of the whole matter would not be changed so easily. The pirates might blame others for this setback.

Even if this gang was punished, there would be other pirates emerging from somewhere else.

And what he had done already broke the hidden balance, so new rules would arise on the water from this moment on – the civilians would have to be the ones that suffered.

Zhou Huaijin took a look at Wuhen and then at Zhou Huaiyu.

He disliked it when someone asked him why he did not finish the job, but they were not to be blamed. They were right – if you could not change something completely, the best way was to not make any changes and just let it stay the way it had always been. Maybe your intention of changing something would make the whole thing even worse.

However, Zhou Huaijin was different.

He could not allow this to happen, otherwise there would never be any peace in the world.

Zhou Huaijin was not angry, he replied calmly, “I did not have them killed, because I know that they are pirates with some conscience. They don’t kill people, but only demand money. They are not to be sentenced to death. I spared their lives, because I expected them to leave here safely, back to their own camps, because those who were present were just part of the whole gang. If we had them killed just now, more pirates would come after us. We don’t want to get involved with them, since we are just passing by this area.”

“…”

“As for what you said about breaking the rules here, so that the civilians would have to suffer. Well, don’t worry, Feng Yue already sent the signal at the end of the fight, so my men will all come and sweep away those pirates completely. From this moment on, everyone on the water will belong to me instead.”

“…”

“So I will be the one that sets the rules, which should be good for civilians,” Zhou Huaijin said calmly.

People from Shadow Door were everywhere across the land. Some of them were good at assassination, and some were good at assassination underwater.

The Shadow Door had plenty of people and they feared nothing.

However, he was not going to mention that the Shadow Door belonged to him at this moment.

Wuhen frowned and was very skeptical. “Are you sure?”

“Just wait and see.” Zhou Huaijin replied calmly, then he started to head towards Gu Chaoyan’s room.

He wondered if the fight had disturbed her.

Zhou Huaiyu followed along. He would like to see how she was recovering from her seasickness.
