Yuan Zhaodi felt that for the first time in so many years, he was this determined. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ N()velFire.net
However, after a grueling chase, Yuan Zhaodi was dumbfounded when he saw the Water Thief’s boat reaching its destination.
Clearly a Water Thief’s boat, yet it finally arrived at the Water Village of the government’s naval forces.
Seeing this, Yuan Zhaodi was utterly stunned.
The ones attacking Dragon Head Town’s dock weren’t real Water Thieves but government naval soldiers.
Yuan Zhaodi couldn’t figure out the answer.
Nor did he dare search for the answer.
After discovering that the Water Thieves were actually disguised government naval forces, Yuan Zhaodi was genuinely dumbstruck, squatting in place for a long time. When he finally came to his senses, he immediately turned around and retraced his steps faster than he had come.
Government soldiers disguised as Water Thieves, this matter was absolutely catastrophic.
The news of the Water Thieves’ attack on the Dragon Head Town dock, causing countless casualties, eventually reached the village.
Upon receiving the news, Mrs. Xiao Li fainted immediately.
Old Yuan, although he didn’t faint, appeared to age dramatically in an instant; a white-haired person sending off a black-haired one, this is the height of grief.
"It can’t be, it can’t be!"
Mrs. Zeng jumped up suddenly, "Old Four has Jiaojiao, and Jiaojiao is the treasure of our Yuan Family, with her protection, Old Four will definitely be alright!"
With Mrs. Zeng’s words, Old Yuan, who was sitting dejectedly, also jumped up.
"We have Jiaojiao, Jiaojiao is Old Four’s daughter, she’s the lucky star of our Yuan Family, with her protection, Old Four will certainly be alright!"
At this moment, Old Yuan pinned his hopes on the miraculous luck of his precious granddaughter.
"Eldest, hurry up, all of you go to the town and search!"
Old Yuan, coming to his senses, hurriedly urged his family to set out for Dragon Head Town.
At the same time, many of the village’s able-bodied men were heading towards Dragon Head Town. The laborers at Dragon Head Town’s dock included young men from the town and the surrounding villages.
Knowing that something had happened at Dragon Head Town’s dock, how could the villages remain indifferent?
To prevent any remaining Water Thieves from occupying Dragon Head Town, everyone heading to the town carried weapons.
Be it knives, guns, clubs, or bows and pitchforks, streams of people, like rivers converging into the sea, made their way to Dragon Head Town.
During this process, teams of people gathered together.
By the time the crowd reached Dragon Head Town, the number had reached over a thousand.
However, upon arriving at Dragon Head Town, they found it had transformed into a sea of fire.
Though some were firefighting, it was like trying to extinguish a blazing fire with a cup of water, utterly incapable of extinguishing the raging flames. Even as the young men from the villages gathered together, they still couldn’t put out the burning fire.
In fact, at this moment, people didn’t have the heart to worry about whether the fire could be put out. Their main focus was saving and finding people.
However, the Water Thieves came to Dragon Head Town with the sole purpose of killing.
Survivors were few and far between.
Even when occasionally finding a few survivors, they were all severely injured and on the verge of death.
The Yuan Family dispersed, searching everywhere for Yuan Zhaodi, seeking to find him dead or alive.
Yet, as one body after another was cleared away, Yuan Zhaodi’s figure remained elusive.
"Not finding him is good news!"
Old Yuan, though his hands were trembling, held onto hope in his heart.
After all, those who can’t be found might either have their bodies drift downstream or have hidden themselves.
Naturally, Old Yuan hoped his son was in hiding.
