Chapter 27: Has it been too long since your godfather made you comfortable?

I was so startled by his sudden remark that my fingertips trembled slightly. When I suddenly lifted my head, I realized Master Zhao was just bowing his head, eating the veggies in his bowl as if that statement hadn't come from him at all.

I tugged the corner of my lips into a smile, but it was stiff on my face, "When we got on that boat, we brought only a few people with us, we were already outnumbered by the other side. Ning Long had dozens of thugs on his ship; even with rotating fights, you'd get dragged to death. Thankfully, Mr. Cheng had a backup plan beforehand, or we wouldn't have returned so easily."

I saw Master Zhao just grunt in response and figured he was just making conversation, so I bowed my head, ready to continue scarfing down my meal, when a thought suddenly blazed through my mind.

With so many men on Ning Long's side, and even someone as skilled as Cheng Yu took a bullet before escaping, I returned unscathed.

That's the real issue!
