Chapter 579
Cheng Dalei's ostentatious posturing did manage to intimidate a few people. However, he had yet to use his so-called "magic". He hesitated, for even if he could summon help with "magic", it's not as if people would just come on his command.
Just then, a group of men ditched their boat and came ashore. Cheng Dalei glanced at them from a distance, and wished he hadn't. It gave him quite a fright.
He recognized this man.
More precisely, he had interacted with him before. They had even drunk together.
His name was Geng Xinghe, nicknamed Redbeard on the underworld scene.
Redbeard controlled Skull Island, leading a force of more than a thousand pirates, wreaking havoc on a vast sea area. In reality, Redbeard disguised himself as a wealthy businessman from Capital City, swindling in Qianzhou City of Yangzhou. Back when Cheng Dalei was still a small bandit in Mount Qingniu, he had dealt with him. Their relationship wasn't particularly good.
