He was so persuasive that he actually practiced extraordinary

But he had no chance at all; turning around, he bumped right into the pirate captain. Zhang Beixing was instantly dumbfounded—it was like finding love around the corner! The pirate captain looked at Zhang Beixing, his face full of resentment.

"Men, tie this kid up. Let's see if he can still run, and where he can run to."

Zhang Beixing knew in his heart that he couldn't escape this time, nor could he run away anymore. The pirate leader looked at him, so angry that he almost fainted.

"Come here, tie this kid up! I want to see where he can run to!" the pirate captain said angrily.

After he finished giving his orders to his men, they looked at Zhang Beixing—they had already been tormented by this kid enough, and now that their chance for revenge had come, they were naturally ready to vent their anger.

"Got it, we'll definitely make sure this kid is all set." The subordinate stared at Zhang Beixing with an expression that said, "You're doomed, kid."

Then they tied Zhang Beixing up tightly. He had absolutely no chance of escape and could only endure it.

"Give him a good beating! I want to see just how stubborn this kid is, daring to do something like this." The pirate leader was truly furious.

"Are you really going to fight?" The subordinates were stunned. They thought it was just a scare tactic, but they didn't expect it to actually happen. This left them dumbfounded.

"Look at this kid. If we don't give him a good beating, he probably won't talk at all, right? He'd rather die than talk, wouldn't he?" The pirate leader looked at the two men with a fierce expression.

The subordinate knew their boss was truly angry; otherwise, he wouldn't have made such a request. It seemed this kid was doomed today.

"Let's see if you can take a beating. It's not too late to talk now, but once we start fighting, you'll be in for a world of hurt," the pirate leader warned as a final warning.

Zhang Beixing knew there was no escaping it, but he couldn't escape, and he couldn't say anything either; he could only wait.

“Alright, we’ll get started right away.” Several of his men looked at Zhang Beixing; this was a rare opportunity.

They can not only vent their anger, but also show off in front of the boss. Why not?

The leader looked at the group, nodded in agreement, and then left. There was no need to watch this unfold; these guys could handle it. Zhang Beixing dared to do these things, so he had to bear the consequences, and the leader would never trust him again.

Several of his men glanced at Zhang Beixing and, seeing that he was bound hand and foot, relaxed their guard considerably and prepared to lead the men into the room.

After all, there are too many people watching outside, so it's not a good idea to fight like this. Besides, it might not be appropriate if this kid says something unpleasant.

"Let's go, take him away!" said the older one among the group, and walked to the front, waiting for the others to lead Zhang Bei away.

The group wasn't worried about Zhang Beixing running away, so they just dragged him along, chatting as they walked.

"What do you think we should do with this kid today?" asked the man holding the rope that was tying Zhang Beixing up.

"I don't know, let's go inside and talk. But it definitely won't be light, since we angered the boss today," the person next to him whispered.

"Tsk tsk tsk, why did he have to do something like this? We'll definitely give him a good beating later." The person holding the rope was completely unaware of the changes behind him.

The two were chatting happily, neither of them looking back to see what was happening behind them. They could still feel some weight in their hands, but that was enough for them.

But when they got to the room, the leader saw the ropes behind the two men and slapped them twice, furious.

"What's wrong?" The boy holding the leash didn't seem to notice anything.

"Look back for yourself," the older man said, and slapped him again.

The two people who were chatting turned around and were stunned. They had been so engrossed in their conversation that they hadn't even looked back.

Zhang Beixing had long since disappeared, and the other end of the rope had turned into a stone. It wasn't very big, but if you pulled on it, you would feel like someone was following you.

"This... I didn't feel anything the whole way!" The kid behind was dumbfounded.

"What are you all standing there for? You've lost him again! Just wait and see how the boss deals with you guys." The man was furious. They'd got him in their hands, and now he was gone again! Anyone would be angry!
"What...what do we do now?" The two were instantly dumbfounded, filled with regret. They should have known better than to chat and instead kept staring at the kid behind them. Now look what's happened.

"What else can we do? One of you come with me to find the person, and the other goes to report to the boss." The man said, and walked ahead.

The other one, who wasn't on a leash, was quite clever; it immediately ran off and went to find the person.

The other one, still looking confused, went to find the boss.

"What did you say? Someone's gone missing again? What good are you guys? Go find him!" The leader nearly fainted from anger. These lads had managed to let someone escape again.

Upon hearing this, everyone began frantically searching for him. But because they had found someone before, everyone seemed to think it wasn't that serious. Only the leader sensed something was wrong—this kid might not be coming back!
Everyone started searching frantically, but they found that this time the kid had somehow disappeared, and there was no way they could find him.

It's completely different from before. Last time, at least we could find something, but this time there's not a trace left.

"What's wrong with you guys? You can't even find anyone?" The leader saw them come in looking disheveled and knew they hadn't found anyone.

"We don't know either, we just can't find it no matter what we do." The group looked at their leader's face and trembled with fear, not knowing what to do.

"What are you looking at me for? Keep looking!" The leader was furious as he looked at the group of men.

They found the person, tied them up, and yet they still managed to lose them. What else could they possibly do?
But when everyone came back, they all had the same expression, which infuriated the boss.

"What use are you bunch of good-for-nothings? I have to find the person myself." The boss was furious and prepared to go out and find the person himself.

The people behind followed behind, afraid that the boss would lose his temper, but they could only follow along, going east when the boss said east and west when he said west.

They searched around but found nothing. The leader glanced at the group and decided to ignore them and go look for it himself.

"This...it seems the boss is really angry. Be careful what you say later." The people next to him could tell from the pirate boss's expression that they were all having a bad day.

They blamed everything on Zhang Beixing. If it weren't for this kid causing all this trouble, they wouldn't be in such a sorry state.

The pirate leader followed the clues along the path that led them to the house. Suddenly, he seemed to have discovered something, so he walked in that direction and reached the kitchen door. The pirate leader paused at the door for a moment, then suddenly pushed it open—Zhang Beixing was indeed inside.

However, fearing discovery, he crouched on the kitchen roof. The boss was furious at Zhang Beixing's behavior; this kid had really gone too far.

Seeing this kid, he made his move immediately. Zhang Beixing was already quite surprised to be found by the pirate leader, and his sudden attack really startled him.

Seeing Zhang Beixing's surprised expression, the pirate leader wanted to press his advantage, but Zhang Beixing was no ordinary person.

He jumped off the roof, and the two immediately began to wrestle. The pirate leader showed no mercy, aiming every move at Zhang Beixing's vital points.

Zhang Beixing watched his moves, and each time he skillfully dodged them, which infuriated the pirate leader—he had finally found someone, only to discover that he couldn't beat this kid.

But he didn't want to lose face at this moment, so he continued fighting. For a short while, the two were locked in a fierce battle.

Zhang Beixing initially intended to let his boss have a few moves, but later he saw that his boss's stamina was waning. After all, he had always been the one giving orders and hadn't had a real fight in a long time, so naturally he couldn't keep up.

And Zhang Beixing wasn't that simple. He looked at the drain in the kitchen, slowly moved towards it, and then lightly jumped over it. But the boss had no idea what was going on and stepped on it, instantly falling flat on his face.

Zhang Beixing laughed so hard he almost fell over, but he didn't forget his actions and tied up his boss.

They took the pirate leader hostage. The leader was about to rant when Zhang Beixing ruthlessly gagged him with a nearby rag.

The pirate leader could only stammer and shout, completely powerless. Zhang Beixing smiled and simply pulled the man out.

While everyone was looking for their leader, they saw Zhang Beixing holding the leader tied up, standing behind him, and walking around swaggeringly as if he wasn't afraid of them.

A group of people wanted to go up and fight Zhang Beixing, but they didn't dare. After all, their boss was still being held hostage by him. They all looked over there, and no one dared to make a move.

They were all stunned for a moment, and could only stand there blankly, watching what Zhang Beixing would do.

"What are you doing?" The subordinate was terrified by his boss's appearance.

You have to understand that their leader is the backbone of their ship; if he disappears, they're doomed.

“What do you think? Your boss is my hostage now,” Zhang Beixing said, still holding a knife in his hand.

"This... release our boss. As long as you release him, everything will be fine," the man behind said anxiously.

They were terrified that Zhang Beixing would do anything to harm their boss.

"You want me to let your boss go? It's simple. Just let me go, and your boss will be fine." Zhang Beixing looked at the group and said with a smile.

Clearly, this was a threat—since the person was already in his hands, if they refused to release him, they would be in serious trouble.

"Okay, okay, we'll let you go, we'll let you go." Upon hearing Zhang Beixing's offer, the subordinate agreed without hesitation. If they didn't, and something happened to their boss, they'd be finished.

"This... they actually used our boss to blackmail us." The subordinates were all dumbfounded.

Things happened so suddenly, it changed in an instant. They were the ones threatening Zhang Beixing, but now it's Zhang Beixing threatening them.

"You'd better think this through. If you don't let me go, your boss might be in danger," Zhang Beixing said with a smile. Clearly, he already had a plan.

"This..." Everyone looked at each other, completely at a loss for what to do. After all, their boss's mouth was sealed by Zhang Beixing, and they dared not make a decision on their own!

Zhang Beixing wasn't in a hurry. He just held the rope and watched them anxiously, looking quite content.

But of course, it only looked comfortable on the surface. The leader was now trembling with anger, trying to break free from Zhang Beixing's control.

"Don't bother trying, you can't break free."

Zhang Beixing spoke with a smile, his grip tightening even more. His men, seeing their boss in such pain, were at a loss for what to do.

Moreover, they dared not make a move, fearing that if they did, Zhang Beixing would harm their boss.

“Let me tell you, my patience has its limits. This dragging on isn't impossible, but I'm afraid that if I get angry later, I might just kill your boss with a single blow,” Zhang Beixing said.

He was still sharpening the knife in his hand, as if he was ready to strike at any moment.

Zhang Beixing's men were terrified by his actions, fearing he might make a move, and even more afraid that something might happen to their boss.

"How about this, you first open our boss's mouth so we can hear what he has to say, okay? We won't let you go without his permission!" The man on the other end looked at Zhang Beixing.
Their faces were almost scrunched up, because they really didn't know what to do.

“Alright, since you have this request, I'll unmistakably release his mouth.” Zhang Beixing glanced at the group.

It turns out he didn't know what the boss meant and was afraid the boss wouldn't agree. In that case, he'd be quite willing to be the good guy.

Zhang Beixing looked at the group of people, then released the pirate leader's mouth. The moment he was released, the pirate leader could be heard cursing Zhang Beixing incessantly.

It was clear he was genuinely angry—no wonder he was furious after being tormented like this by Zhang Beixing.

"Alright, save your breath and tell me what you plan to do?" Zhang Beixing picked at his ear, looking very impatient.

"You think you can leave? No way!" The pirate leader was furious and wanted to grab Zhang Beixing and give him a good beating. He wasn't about to let him go.

"Oh? So you're unwilling! I was just saying you could leave me on a nearby island, but it seems there's no need for that now. Since you won't let me leave, you can forget about taking your own life."

As Zhang Beixing spoke, he picked up the knife he had sharpened earlier and placed it against the pirate captain's neck, ready to strike at any moment.

"You...you're serious?" The pirate captain initially thought Zhang Beixing was just bluffing, but the moment he felt the force of the knife against his neck, he understood what the kid meant. (End of Chapter)
