Chapter 902: Coward
Man Xilou was showing a very helpless expression on his face.
Now he finally understood that this huge gang of the Beihai Gang had a large number of followers, but the leaders were way too stupid.
They were pirates, and what they needed was money. So they needed to follow the routine.
They should start by making analyses about the losses – their enemies were so strong, what if they lost in the second attempt once again? Well, Man Xilou was not going to reveal that even the women on the boat were capable, otherwise he would be totally humiliated as one of the most experienced robbers in the group.
“We have rules on the water. The Beihai Gang has not run into such problems for more than a decade. Those passers-by give money and no one dares to counter, but now, the situation has changed!”
“…”
“Those people countered us! Why? Weren’t they aware of our rule? They were! At the beginning, someone from the boat tried to make a deal with us, but later, they countered us directly. Why? Because they had made an estimation and believed that they would not lose anything countering us!”
“…”
“They had also spared some of our lives – look at those injured brothers. They are not fatally injured? Why? Because they saved us from being humiliated!”
“…”
“If we run after them now, we will be more than humiliated!”
“…”
“We have lost a lot this time, but we will get more boats coming to us in the future, and we can get compensated through them, can’t we?” Man Xilou said with a smile. Obviously, he believed that it was a great idea he had come up with.
What mattered most of all was to understand what the situation was like. Otherwise Man Xilou, as a robber, would never have had such an easy life. Honestly, the man who exceeded him in the past was now imprisoned at Dali Temple.
Jin glared at Man Xilou and said, “That is such a stupid talk!”
“…”
“If we tolerate them this time, they would know that we can be irritated. If that is the case, no one would give us any more money! Don’t even dream about the boats that come after them!” Jin said with a tone of determination. “What do you think, Mr. Head?”
The head heard their conversation and thought it over, but he believed that Jin was right.
They were pirates, not those who worked for the court. What robbers feared most of all was to lose their reputation, which would not give them any place in society.
That was definitely right!
Jin had been a long-time follower of his, so he understood the rules.
Man Xilou was taking them into consideration, but he was talking like a thief, not like a robber. Also, if what they had lost was one person’s life, they would just let it go, but the whole gang had been bullied, and that was beyond tolerance.
“Just do as Jin said. Gather up brothers and make a proper plan!” the Head said with a determined tone.
Jin laughed and let out a sigh of relief.
Lucky Mr. Head understood the situation well enough not to accept Man Xilou’s stupid theories. Jin would have obtained a terrible reputation, if Man Xilou’s words had been put into practice.
If that happened, Jin would lose his position in the gang.
Man Xilou looked at them helplessly. Well, he had given them reminders, and that was all he could do. He was not to be blamed, if they refused to listen.
Man Xilou put on some medicine for himself, head-lowered in distress.
Jin snorted at him. “Coward!”
