On the deck, Casso who was wearing a huge coat stood close to the rails. He burst out laughing when he saw the government army fighting the people that had come to take them out.
”HAHAHA, look at them, just look at them… they started fighting one another instead, HAHAHA!” Casso laughed wildly.
The other members of the Red Ornaments Guild were laughing too. Years ago, they were on the run like rats in the street, hiding from the government army, Hunters, and the Sacred Hall of Liberty. But now, they were drinking stouts on the deck of a boat, watching the government army like they were putting up a show.
”Boss, the sea monsters that attack the White Head City every season are pretty strong, are we seriously going to fight them?” a fatty with a huge belly asked.
”Fight the sea monsters? Not a chance! We'll leave once we plunder enough money from this city. Does that stupid Lauren seriously think I care about being a general? With money, we can go to a better place. We can build a city, a kingdom, a place where even the assholes of the Sacred Hall of Liberty won't dare to come!” Casso burst out laughing.
”Boss, that's brilliant!”
”All hail the boss!”

The shipyard...
”Stop them, stop them at once!” yelled Lauren furiously.
A huge squad of Magicians caught up to Mo Fan and his crew, but as soon as they were about to cast spells to entrap the three, a tiger-like beast with metal plates suddenly appeared.
They had no idea whose Contracted Beast the beast was. It simply charged at the soldiers and rammed anyone it came close to. The formation of the soldiers collapsed instantly, and the soldiers were having trouble using magic.
Mo Fan, Jiang Shaoxu, Zhao Manyan, and Night Rakshasa took hold of the chance to proceed to the White Head Harbor, leaving the soldiers behind.
Either the others had overwhelming firepower, or some of the captains among the soldiers were not trying very hard to stop them, because the soldiers stopped chasing them after they reached White Head Harbor.

As they arrived at the White Head Harbor, the Swift Star Wolf appeared out of nowhere. A woman was lying on his back. It was Oni, whom they had held hostage.
Mo Fan had sealed off Oni's movements. Her mind was also suppressed by Jiang Shaoxu's spell. She looked worse than an ordinary young girl.
As they approached the boat, Mo Fan glanced at the dimly-lit deck.
He knew there were people on the deck, and quite a large group too, but Mo Fan was not afraid. He carried Oni on his shoulder and yelled at the deck.
”Isn't that Oni!”
”My God, they caught Oni!”
A few heads poked out from the deck. They immediately recognized Oni in his grip.
Oni was an Advanced Magician. Even though she was relatively weak among the Advanced Magicians of the Red Ornaments Guild, she did have a certain status in the organization. Besides, she was a fairly good-looking woman among the bandits, who were mostly men. Many of the members were her die-hard fans.
When the Magicians of the Red Ornaments Guild saw Oni was caught, they immediately went enraged.
”Casso, save me!” Oni screamed at the deck.
A bulky silhouette in a huge coat appeared on the deck. His sharp eyes slowly moved into the light and glanced down at them coldly.
Zhao Manyan and Jiang Shaoxu's hearts skipped a beat. It seemed like the cultivation of the man on the deck was a lot stronger than theirs. Otherwise, why were they feeling such great pressure from him?
”Kid, let her go, and I won't be fussy about what you've done. I can also promise you that my men won't trouble you anymore.” It was obvious that Casso cared a lot about Oni when he personally asked Mo Fan to let her go.
”Your men won't trouble me, since none of you are going to leave this place alive today!” Mo Fan was completely fearless.
”That's some high-sounding statement, my Red Ornaments Guild...”
”AHHH!!!”
Casso had yet to finish his sentence when Mo Fan suddenly used the Space Element to snap Oni's neck right in front of the members of the Red Ornaments Guild!
Oni was not prepared to die. She initially thought Mo Fan was trying to negotiate with Casso. Even her last scream was incredibly brief, filled with a hint of disbelief.
Oni's eyes showed their whites as her head fell sideways. It looked like her neck was going to fall to the ground at any second.
