He was so persuasive that he actually practiced extraordinary

"Otherwise what? You're just waiting for me to be killed?" Zhang Beixing said with a smile.

But the smile was completely different from before; it now carried a hint of murderous intent. The pirate captain glanced back.
I was starting to feel a little scared. This kid was definitely no ordinary kid. But thinking about it, someone who could do all this and defeat me must be quite something.

"Okay, I promise you." The pirate leader knew that if he didn't agree today, this kid might really attack him, and then he would be finished.

"Release him, and do as he says." The pirate captain glanced at Zhang Beixing and had no choice but to say this. He didn't want to die here.

Everyone was already quite scared, but when they heard the leader say that they should follow Zhang Beixing's arrangements, they immediately felt relieved and began to prepare to dock the boat at the shore as he instructed.

"Why didn't you cooperate like this earlier? Why did you have to drag it out until now? Throw all your weapons down here too," Zhang Beixing said, looking at the group.

After all, who knows if these people will pull a dirty trick on you? Naturally, you have to be on guard.

Seeing this, the group simply threw their weapons down to prevent Zhang Beixing from doing anything more to their leader; this was definitely the best course of action.

Even if everything was done according to Zhang Beixing's plan, Zhang Beixing naturally understood that these people who had risen to their current positions were no ordinary individuals. Moreover, he had previously said that if they caught him, they would catch him; if he wasn't careful, he might be ambushed and finished.

He dared not relax his vigilance for a moment, and his hand was still holding onto the pirate leader's rope, showing no intention of letting go.

Seeing Zhang Beixing's constant vigilance, they remained on guard themselves, fearing he might do something to their boss. If he did, it would be too late for regrets.

What should have been a short journey to shore turned into an ordeal for those on board, all fearing what might happen from either side.

Everyone kept a close eye on each other's movements, not daring to relax for a moment. The captain was tightly controlled by Zhang Beixing's rope and could not make any movement.

But upon seeing the island, the pirate leader instantly felt relieved. Although his men sometimes did foolish things, they knew how to be clever in this situation.

Because their destination is Villain Island. In other words, if Zhang Beixing goes down from here, he will arrive at Villain Island.

The pirate captain nodded with satisfaction to his men—of course, out of Zhang Beixing's sight. If Zhang Beixing had seen them, the kid would have sensed something was wrong, and then it would have been too late.

"We'll be there soon," the boatman said to those above. He only hoped his boss would be safe and sound; as for the rest, he'd just take it one step at a time.

"Alright, we've arrived. You can disembark now," the pirate captain said to Zhang Beixing.

Zhang Beixing looked at the island, completely unaware of anything amiss. After all, he wasn't familiar with the waters here and naturally didn't know where he was; he figured everything would be fine once he disembarked.

"Alright, you'd better not try anything funny." Zhang Beixing glanced at the island over there, worried that these people might try something on him when he left.

"We've thrown away our weapons, what else can we do?"

The crew members on the ship looked at Zhang Beixing with innocent expressions, as if they had no idea what the islands below were all about.

"I hope so." Zhang Beixing glanced at the group. He had no idea what they might do; after all that had happened between them, they might very well seek revenge.

"Are you getting off the ship or not?" The pirate captain couldn't wait to get rid of this plague god as soon as possible. He had been eating and drinking on their ship and causing so much trouble.

"You've moored the boat." Zhang Beixing looked around.
There didn't seem to be anything unusual. It's just a normal small island with everything you could want. People probably come here often, so it's not some uninhabited area.

He disembarked. He looked back repeatedly as he left, fearing what they might do to him. This opportunity was one he had earned by risking the pirate captain's life; it was a once-in-a-lifetime chance.

Zhang Beixing disembarked from the pirate ship shortly after. The pirate leader, seeing Zhang Beixing off the ship, was relieved.

“I’m letting you go now. Shouldn’t you throw away what you’re holding?” the pirate leader said, looking at Zhang Beixing.

Zhang Beixing smiled. It seemed this pirate leader wasn't too stupid. When he got down, he'd been holding the captain's rope in his hand, just in case. If they did anything to him, he could just pull the rope.
That way, the pirate captain would be dragged down by him, and he would have leverage, which would be the best outcome.

“Okay.” Zhang Beixing said, throwing the rope in his hand to the ground, and then watched as the people on the ship began to frantically untie the pirate captain.

"Is it okay now?" Zhang Beixing relaxed considerably once he reached the ground. He was finally off that boat, and he no longer had to be so terrified.

"That's enough. You can enjoy your life on the island now." The pirate captain didn't seem very angry, which puzzled Zhang Beixing. Logically, the captain should have been furious, so why was he saying these things to him?

"Yeah! Enjoy yourself! I bet you'll miss the days on our ship." A few people whispered and laughed among themselves.

"What do you mean by this?" Zhang Beixing naturally sensed something was wrong, but he really couldn't understand their behavior.

"You should experience it for yourself. It would be less interesting if we told you," someone on the boat said to Zhang Beixing with a smile.

Zhang Beixing found these people a bit strange, but they sailed away not long afterward, clearly not wanting to stay any longer, as if they had some kind of taboo about this place.

Zhang Beixing didn't think much of it. He looked around at the furnishings and miscellaneous items and realized that this place was different from ordinary islands; it was just an ordinary small town. Was their behavior really necessary?
Zhang Beixing stopped dwelling on it. Looking at the surrounding shops, he thought he had to figure out how to live in the future, or find his way back. He couldn't just stay here in this state of confusion forever.

He went into the nearest shop; it was a cake shop. Zhang Beixing noticed the shop manager seemed busy, and since he wasn't there to buy a cake,
He simply sat down and waited for the shop manager to finish. Then he noticed the cake shop owner, who seemed perfectly fine at first, just sitting there.

"Go and get those things over there for me, son," the shop manager said to his son.

"Okay," the child replied. Only then did Zhang Beixing notice that the child was sitting in a wheelchair.

This surprised him quite a bit. Zhang Beixing waited until the shop manager finished his work, then ordered a few simple cakes and sat down, ready to chat with the shop manager.

"Young man, I don't recognize you. Is this your first time here? Do you know where this place is?" The shopkeeper looked at Zhang Beixing and said with a smile.

Looking at Zhang Beixing's innocent face, he probably had no idea what this island was. "Yes, this is my first time here. What's your son doing here...?" Zhang Beixing asked curiously, looking at the child beside him who was staring intently at the television.

"Sigh, it's a long story. This kid was in a car accident before, and the treatment cost a lot of money. He barely survived, but his leg... there's nothing we can do about it, it's just like this. But it's already a miracle that he's alive," the shopkeeper said bitterly.

"Ah? Is that so!" Zhang Beixing felt a pang of embarrassment upon hearing such a sad story. He had only been curious, but to others, it was a painful tale.

“There was no other way. It was good enough that he was saved. We spent all our savings on his treatment. I also had to take care of him, and I couldn’t afford a caregiver, so I opened a cake shop. That way, I can stay with him, take care of him, and earn some money to make a living.”

The store manager said with a smile, but it was clear that the smile was very forced. After everything he'd been through, it was already a good thing he could still smile; some people probably wouldn't even have the courage to smile anymore.

"This is a good thing, he can learn a skill and support himself in the future." Zhang Beixing looked at the shop manager, feeling quite sad. He hadn't expected such a tragic story.

"That's what I think too. If he can learn a skill and support himself in the future, I'll feel at ease," the shop manager nodded and said.

Zhang Beixing looked at the child, whose face still radiated youthful energy, yet he had become disabled; it was truly a pity. The shop manager was also a remarkable person.

"It's alright, things will get better," Zhang Beixing said with a sigh.

He hadn't expected that this would be the first scene he saw upon arriving on the island, and he felt quite uneasy.

I wanted to give the store manager some money, but I was afraid that someone like him wouldn't accept money directly—after all, he did all this so that his child could have a good life in the future.

Moreover, he's a man of flesh and blood. If I were to give him the money directly, the store manager might feel embarrassed, since everyone has to save face.

"I just got here too. Just fill up with as many cakes as you have here, the kind I'm eating," Zhang Beixing said to the store manager.

"Oh? You can't finish all of these! There's still quite a lot left!" the shop manager said, looking at the cakes over there; he had indeed prepared quite a few.

"These are all, I'll take them all," Zhang Beixing said with a smile.

"No, you can't possibly finish all of this!" the manager advised him, feeling that it was far too much.

"It's alright, I'm young, I can finish it," Zhang Beixing said with a smile.

"You..." The shop manager, seeing Zhang Beixing's expression, knew he was determined to buy it, and went to pack the cake. But just as Zhang Beixing was about to pay,
The store manager noticed that Zhang Beixing still had some dry food in his bag, and he understood what Zhang Beixing was doing.

"You little rascal." The store manager was so moved by Zhang Beixing's actions that he burst into tears.

Zhang Beixing looked at the store manager and felt very embarrassed—he just wanted to buy some cakes to help them, so why was he crying like this?

He tried to comfort her for a long time, but the store manager just kept crying, and the crying only got worse. Zhang Beixing was extremely embarrassed, thinking that the store manager was just being overly sensitive.

"This... is just helping out as much as I can," Zhang Beixing said sheepishly, seeing that the shop manager had finally calmed down.

"Thank you, young man, thank you so much." The shop manager kept thanking him and kept bringing Zhang Beixing cakes.

"I can't eat anymore. But there is something I want to ask you," Zhang Beixing said to the manager, somewhat embarrassed.

"Tell me, and I'll do whatever I can," the store manager said quickly as soon as he heard that Zhang Beixing needed help.

"Well, I'm new here and not familiar with the area. I was wondering if there are any hotels or similar places nearby? I'd like to find a place to stay temporarily."

Zhang Beixing scratched his head sheepishly and said, "It's really hard to find a place here."

"You don't have anywhere to stay? Why don't you stay here with me? I happen to have a room left." The shopkeeper said anxiously to Zhang Beixing.

"No need, no need. I'll just stay at a hotel. It's too much trouble for you to stay here and take care of someone," Zhang Beixing quickly waved his hand and said.

"Look at what you're saying. There's room here, you can stay, it's not a big deal. Besides, my cake shop can support one more person like you."

As the store manager spoke, he began busily working on Zhang Beixing's belongings.

Looking at the shop manager, Zhang Beixing still wanted to refuse. After all, there was a disabled child there, and the shop manager was too busy taking care of him and himself. He didn't want to cause trouble for others like that.

"It's okay, I'll just go stay somewhere else," Zhang Beixing said, quickly starting to gather his belongings, wanting to leave.

But the store manager was quite strong, and he kept pulling, almost tearing Zhang Beixing's things apart.

"You should stay. If you don't, you're disrespecting me."

The store manager said anxiously, and it was clear that he really wanted Zhang Beixing to stay, as his hands were red from fighting over the items.

"Fine, I'll stay, okay?" Zhang Beixing was really helpless, but he had no choice but to agree.

"Really? Are you sure you're staying here?" The store manager was overjoyed to hear that Zhang Beixing was staying, his face crinkling with smiles.

"Okay, I'll stay here."

Zhang Beixing was also quite helpless. If he didn't stay here, the store manager might really try to take his things again, which would be awful. (End of Chapter)
