<h4>Chapter 896: Fear?</h4>


    Zhou Huaiyu had been traveling around all these years on his own, and he had befriended many people whom he would like to make his own, Wuhen for example, but even he was unable to cultivate such capable people like the ones who obeyed his Eighth Brother without hesitation.


    The fight hadsted for a long time, but Zhou Huaiyu had made some observations – His Eighth Brother’s men had gotten almost no injuries when facing such strong enemies. His men only received a few scratches.


    His Eighth Brother grew up in the capital and their father watched over them constantly, so how did he manage to gather those forces?


    Zhou Huaiyu was very surprised, but Zhou Huaijin looked calm. He asked Mo Bing and Fu Bao to clean away the blood stain on the boat first, then he suggested that they should head inside.


    “I had my own mansion when I was still little. We had to get some guards since we were not living in the court. Also, I have been involved with many businesses over the years, and I have be the target of many potential enemies. So I had to keep some well-trained guards with me. Don’t be surprised, brother, many of those guards were gifts from father. It is just that I paid them well, so they decided to train themselves properly somewhere, thus bing such excellent fighters,” Zhou Huaijin said half-truthfully.


    Zhou Huaijin could show his own abilities in front of Zhou Huaiyu, because he trusted him, but it was not the correct time to show his real ability, so he had to just reveal just part of it.


    Also, he did not trust his brother’s man next to him. He was not sure if this man was trustworthy. That was why he hid much of the truth.


    When Zhou Huaiyu heard the story, he thought that most things seemed to make sense, but not everything. Nevertheless, he admired his Eighth Brother, who was so excellent living in the care of the King.


    He was going to change his opinion towards his Eighth Brother. He agreed to help his Eighth Brother, because his mother, namely the Queen, had helped him before. So he decided to do whatever he could to help this brother of his.


    He spent little time in the capital and with his Eighth Brother. So he always believed that his Eighth Brother was a yboy who was extremely spoiled. That was why he decided to take him out for a trip, since if he was away from the capital, he could at least be safe.


    However, now… Zhou Huaiyu felt that he should re-evaluate this brother of his.


    Zhou Huaiyu was so shocked that he became absent-minded, but Wuhen was not.


    He subconsciously felt irritated by Lord Huai, so he added. “Lord Huai, you just said that you were going to punish the pirates, so why didn’t you have them killed? They can heal when they are let go this way and they will continue to make trouble on the water. Are you scared of them?”


    “…”


    “We are going to get through smoothly, but what about the businessmening after us? Maybe the pirates will not only steal treasure, but also hurt people, because of us!”
