“Haih, your old man seems to have really chosen your older brother.” While looking at Singluen’s bitter expression, Tang Xiu sighed, “I’m afraid it’s just a veiled scheme to strike you when you go back this time. If your father indeed acts against you, then you must be prepared for the next thing we’re going to face—your entire clan.”
“No. I don’t believe my father will act to strike me personally.” Singluen shook his head. “My position in his heart may not be as high as my big brother, but I’m sure he still cares a lot about me.”
“Let’s hope so.” Tang Xiu was cautious and said, “However, we still have to be prepared to guard against any attack from the forces under your Dark Shaman clan after returning to Thailand. It seems the previous plan to go back there openly must change.”
“What plan?” asked Singluen with a changed expression.
His question was not answered by Tang Xiu, who instead looked at Tang Guang and ordered, “Find a way to contact Snakehead to sneak us into Bangkok from Saipan. You and An will go with me. Tell Awu and the rest to find a way to follow us on their own.”
“I’ll arrange it immediately.” Tang Guang nodded.
As noon came, two off-road cars quickly headed for the port, rumored as a property of the fourth powerful figure in Saipan. The port was a small, but it still had several cargo ships anchored there.
At present, more than a dozen black-suited middle-aged men with sunglasses stood around a black youth standing by several off-road cars. The youth was talking to a lean man wearing a long robe with a flower pattern and a cap, yet their exchange looked icy and tense.
“We’ll sail 15 minutes from now. I don’t give a fuck who you are. The schedule has been set and that’s it. Find yourself other means to leave here if you don’t like it.”
“I’ll transfer 1 million dollars to your account if you set sail now,” said the black young man in fluent English.
A look of greed flashed in the thin middle-aged man’s eyes, but it was soon replaced by hesitation as he stubbornly shook his head. “No. This is our rule and I can’t break it. What’s more, your group is not the only guest we have. There are some other groups, so wait for them before we set sail.”
His response made the black youth spit out curses. The dozen stalwart men around him quickly pulled out their pistols and aimed at the thin middle-aged man. Right as their muzzles were aimed at him, however, a group of people looking like simple fishermen appeared all of a sudden. These men and women emitted out intense killing aura. Each of them was armed with submachine guns and rifles, while the stalwart men had only pistols.
Upon realizing the situation, the black youth immediately raised his hand and said, “Alright! You won buddy! Just hope that we won’t bump into each other again in the future.”
With that said, he led a dozen strongmen and quickly boarded the nearest cargo ship.
Tang Guang, who had been following Tang Xiu, watched the scene in front with a contemptuous look, whispering, “That’s just a frequent scene we’ll see among smugglers, Boss. Some who are lucky will reach their destination, but those with bad luck will only get robbed and thrown into the sea as corpses. It seems like we’re about to get some tough guys this time.”
“Do you think they are tough?” asked Tang Xiu.
“Nah. Not to us, but to average people, yes.” Tang Guang shook his head and added, “For laymen, those guys are very hard to deal with, especially those who just boarded the ship. They should have killed many people in the past.”
“There’s no need for us to complicate things.” Tang Xiu nodded. “We just need to arrive in Bangkok secretly. If they don’t provoke us, just ignore them unless they wanna court death.”
“I understand.” Tang Guang nodded.
Quickly after, Tang Xiu’s group of nine came to the front of the thin man. Tang Guang quickly made several gestures to him and then paced forward and said, “I already transferred the money to your account this morning. My group’s code is Shadow of Ghost.”
“No need to speak much since you already know the procedure.” The middle-aged man looked at the group and said, “But keep in mind to obey our arrangements along the journey, lest you want to face us. Alright, get on board! We’ll set sail in ten minutes.”
“There’s another thing I wanna know,” said Tang Guang. “How many people are you smuggling this time?”
The lean man looked at Tang Guang with a slightly surprised expression and grinned, “Well, well. It seems like I’m facing a group who has been in the business for a long time, huh? Alright, there’s no harm in telling you, though. We already got 40 souls with us going to Bangkok this time; combined with you lot, it will be almost 50 in total. But you gotta be careful, dude. Those shits who just boarded the ship are no saints. We’ll do nothing if you get into a conflict with them along the journey.”
“Roger that,” said Tang Guang.
A little bit later, everyone had boarded the cargo ship. The ship was very dirty, and one could see garbage and dirt everywhere, along with tons of scattered goods all over. As everyone entered the ship, they could all smell a faint stench from the cabin. The situation inside was abysmal, with people scattered among the goods in groups of three to five, although there were also groups with seven or eight people.
Furthermore, old and young men and women were also seen on the ship. The most noticeable was a young, ordinary-looking woman with braided hair and two mixed-race children not much older than seven in tow.
