"Father!"
"Hua Yu" softly began.
The seated middle-aged man did not immediately reply, instead finishing the page of the book in his hand before raising his head: "Back again? Sit, how did things go?"
Upon hearing the middle-aged man's words, "Hua Yu" obediently moved a chair and sat in front of the man, then quietly began: "The leader ordered us to discuss the incorporation with the main pirates of the Pirate Alliance, but to demand immediate surrender, such reasoning..."
"We've tried to deliver the message as gently as possible, but it still angered the major pirates, directly provoking their attack."
"If it weren't for our side having a powerful expert forcibly suppressing them later, I fear we might not have safely returned."
Upon hearing "Hua Yu's" words, the middle-aged man nodded slightly, then sighed lightly, speaking softly: "Child, what do you think of the leader...?"
"The leader?"
