Chapter: 599
“I-I don’t know! I don’t know anything about a granddaughter. I mean, we don’t even have anyone being kept from the outside right now!”
“What?”
That was strange. This was about the granddaughter of the Godly Doctor, and it was Hing Wunja, under the truth serum, who spoke. He said he messaged the Yongho family to retrieve her any time, so that wasn’t a lie.
‘Hmmm...’
Yeowun then changed the question.
“Do you know a woman named Gam Miyan? She should be muscular and have a dot on her nose...”
Gam Rosu said her granddaughter closely resembled her. She also mentioned that all members of her family trained their muscles to better treat patients, so it was easy to recognize.
“Muscular woman? Oh! You mean the First Mate’s loot... I mean, his woman!”
The man recognized the granddaughter of the Godly Doctor right away when given the specifics. It seemed the Yongho Family wasn’t aware of who this woman really was. It looked like Hing Wunja hid the truth purposely so that the Yongho family would not use the hostage for their own benefit to bring out the Godly Doctor. But there was another problem.
“First Mate’s... woman?”
That message did not bode well to everyone. It seemed a year in the village of pirates had taken a drastic turn.
“This won’t be good news to Granny Gam.”
“...Looks like it.”
Even if they kidnapped her due to deal with Hing Wunja, there was no way pirates would leave a woman alone for a year. As Hu Bong said, it was likely that Gam Rosu will wail over what happened if she finds out.
“Then where is she?”
At least they knew that she was alive, so they needed the location. Yang Danwa asked and the man answered with a shaking voice.
“S-she’s on the ship.”
“You mean that ship?” Yang Danwa asked as he pointed out the large ships at the docks. The man then shook his head and pointed toward the riverbed where it connected to the main Yellow River and spoke.
“Our leaders are all on the ships over at the river.”
“What?”
Yeowun became surprised and quickly took steps to climb up a tall tree. And there he saw five battleships staying stationary in the middle of the river just before it connected back to the Yellow River.
“Dammit...!”
About an hour ago, Chun Yeowun and Hu Bong found a small village by the small river. There was a small fishing village that maintained themselves by fishing at the river, where Yeowun was able to purchase a small boat. Two of them then set sail on the river to meet up with the others at the appointed time. The speed of the water was faster than they thought.
“M-master! It’s already so fast without a row!”
Hu Bong, who said it was fine, soon became tense. Yeowun, who was at the end of the boat, took the key and felt the speed of river becoming faster.
‘If I make any mistake or bump into something, I might not be able to haul them.’
Yeowun clenched the key. And after moving down the river for a long time, they saw faint light over in the middle of the river. But suddenly, the faint light immediately began to grow large and brightened up the whole ship.
“M-master! It suddenly became bright!”
“...I think there’s a problem.”
Yeowun frowned. Their plan didn’t have any potential risks. They weren’t sure how they were spotted, but it was certain that these pirates were preparing to fight.
