I, Folyago, am the most devoted lover in Runeterra.

"Young people today."

The old crow sighed to himself for a moment.

"It was indeed this reckless guy who provoked us first."

"Just die."

"But you killed someone, and I won't hold you responsible if you want to continue living here."

"Compensation is required."

The old crow continued in a hoarse voice, his dim, yellowish eyes fixed on Li Ang.

This time, Li Ang did not refute the old crow, but chose to acquiesce.

After all, what the old man said made some sense. Although Li Ang possessed the power to break the rules, now was not the time to overturn the table.

Li Ang didn't mind patiently playing along with these people.

"Pete, this man is yours, what do you say we do about it?"

The old crow turned its eyes and looked at a man not far away.

The man was dressed in a well-fitting, brand-new outfit, his eyes gleaming with shrewdness and greed.

Clearly, this man named Pete was not a sea monster hunter who made a living by risking his life.

He is a businessman.

"What I want is very simple: Mark's (bald) death prevents me from going to sea."

“I need him to make up for my losses.”

A man named Pete made a request.

"Since I killed one of you, preventing you from going to sea."

"Then why don't I just go out to sea with your ship and help you hunt sea monsters?"

"Of course, the compensation will be calculated separately."

After hearing Pete's request, Li Ang responded calmly.

Since we're going to have to go to sea anyway, it doesn't matter whose ship we board; this is a good opportunity.

That way he won't have to look for other boats.

......

Upon hearing this, a glint of light flashed in Pete's eyes.

The white-haired youth in front of them was undeniably powerful, several levels stronger than the bald man from before.

With this white-haired young man joining us, we'll have a better chance of success on this sea hunt!

"no problem!"

Pete readily agreed.

Seeing that the matter was resolved, the old crow didn't say anything more, but turned around and slowly left.

Afterwards, the entire Blood Harbor returned to its chaotic state, and no one was bothered by what had just happened.

There was no one like the bald man who had just died tragically under Li Ang's sword.

Two workers who were dissecting the sea monster's carcass immediately threw the bald man's body into the sea.

......

Throughout the entire process, Sarah simply stood quietly behind Li Ang and watched.

Now, Sarah has a new understanding of Bilgewater's selfishness and indifference.

But the more she felt this way, the more she appreciated the preciousness of the genuine affection she had in her hands.

Unbeknownst to her, Sarah's grip on Leon's clothes tightened even more.

Even Li Ang didn't notice that behind him, Sarah's gaze held a hint of longing.

Chapter Twenty-Three: Sailors on the HMS Fear

Afterwards, Leon took Sarah and followed the merchant Pete to a hunting boat docked in the harbor.

This is a medium-sized three-masted sailing ship, which looks like it can only accommodate a few dozen sailors at most.

The sailboat had a sharp ram at its bow, and about a dozen side cannons for hunting sea monsters mounted on either side.

On the hull of the sailboat, a string of words was painted on it, which was the name of this hunting boat—Fear!

When Li Ang saw the name of the sailboat, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

It can't be such a coincidence, right?

Although he was slightly surprised, Li Ang remained outwardly calm and followed Pete onto the ship.

......

"Pete, where have you been?"

"I wasted half a day waiting for you!"

"This is......"

As soon as they boarded the ship, a medium-sized sailor with a bald head surrounded them.

Upon seeing Leon and Sarah behind Pete, a scrutinizing glint flashed in his eyes.

"Let me introduce you. These are my newly recruited sailors."

"The name is..."

As they were talking, Pete suddenly remembered something and turned to look at Li Ang.

Because their meeting had been so rushed, he hadn't had a chance to ask their names.

“Li Ang, this is Sarah.”

Li Ang simply gave his name and then glanced at the bald sailor.

This bald sailor, like most Bilgewater sea monster hunters, has a menacing appearance.

Because of frequent sea voyages, exposed to sea breezes and scorching sun, his skin is dark and rough, and his hands are covered with calluses.

Perhaps feeling his appearance wasn't fierce enough, this bald sailor had tattooed his shiny bald head.

"Correct!"

"Leon and Sarah."

"They are my newly recruited sailors."

Pete tried to hide his embarrassment with a smile, but the smile just looked like that of a shrewd businessman.

"Oh right, he's Pike!"

"The boatswain of the HMS Fear."

After introducing Leon and Sarah, Pete introduced them to the boatswain named Parker.

"really."

Li Ang sighed inwardly; it was yet another ill-fated relationship.

In the original world, Pike would be abandoned by his crew and captain during a hunting trip at sea.

In the end, he transformed into the Blood Harbor Ghost, seeking revenge against those who abandoned him.

The funniest thing is that this guy actually joined the Light Sentinels and teamed up to fight the boss on the Shadow Isles.

Please, you can tell who looks less like a good person just by looking at them.

Therefore, the captain who abandoned Pike must be the businessman Pete in front of us.

Li Ang estimated that Pike had roughly the strength of a Silver rank, similar to Yorick in his lifetime.

This level of skill would certainly place him among the top fighters in Bilgewater.

"What about Mark (the dead bald man)?"

"Why didn't Mark come back with you?"

Parker asked, looking directly into Pete's eyes, as if trying to discern something from them.

"that......"

Under Parker's probing gaze, Pete waved his hand somewhat awkwardly.

"Something unexpected happened, and Mark may not be able to come anymore."

"You should understand..."

Pete explained that he did not reveal the fact that the bald man named Mark had died at the hands of Leon.

As a businessman, he understood the principle of "harmony brings wealth" all too well.

"Humph!"
