There was no need to delve into the details of the process. How many of those fellows at the port were honest? For a single mother, it was too easy for her to deceive her son.
The Seahorse Restaurant was such a club. Although it was called a restaurant, the food was actually quite ordinary. It was enough for the sailors who had been sailing for a long time. If the food was too exquisite, these boorish people might not be able to taste it.
The key was the other parts of the Seahorse Restaurant. This was the main reason why the sailors were willing to throw away their hard-earned money here. They were all hot-blooded youths in their prime. Who wouldn't like such a thing?
This single mother was tricked into coming here by one of the restaurant's subordinates under the guise that there was a customer who was willing to buy her Sea Ghost Core Stone at a high price. It was very simple and practical. It would be difficult for this mother to leave after she came here.
As usual, she was beaten up and tortured. There were countless ships coming and going from the port. Where would they find a missing person? They were all ships, and no one would delay their journey for one or two people. They could only sigh helplessly if they couldn't find her after a rough search. Once the ship she was on left, this woman would be stuck here forever. She would live a miserable life of serving others for the rest of her life. She would be infected with many pimples and diseases until she grew old and no longer had any customers. Then she would be thrown out to be buried in a foreign land.
This was how the women of the Seahorse Restaurant came to be. They didn't catch native islanders because it was too troublesome. They specialized in tricking passing women because they were the weaker group.
Fortunately, the five dancers were also here. They weren't here to dine, and of course, they weren't here to be guests. They were here to buy people.
They had come with nine people to congratulate the Emperor of Central Plains, but now there were only five left. They couldn't even gather enough dancers for a group dance. This was a great discourtesy, so they needed to add a few more. Time was tight, so they could only find one at the port. They didn't have any better choices apart from such an occasion.
Since he was an origin power user, he didn't have to worry about being scammed by these filthy places. He couldn't find a suitable one after searching through several places, so he decided to find the Seahorse House and meet this pitiful mother there.
The outcome wasn't too bad. The five dancers had made a decisive move after sharing weal and woe on the Great Roc, as well as the fate of this mother who had washed their clothes for them without complaint. They didn't use force but instead paid ten times the price to redeem her. That was the limit of their strength. If they were to use force, the Seahorse Tower would summon all the origin power experts in the port to help. This wasn't something they could handle with their meager strength.
He felt a little sullen, but fortunately, he hadn't made a big mistake yet. For the sake of her child, she could only swallow her humiliation, pick up her courage, and force herself to be cheerful. In this regard, a woman's endurance was always better than a girl's.
She wasn't the first victim here, and she definitely wouldn't be the last. When habits became rules, everyone was no longer surprised by ugliness. This wasn't a problem of a single person or place, but of the entire port and the entire Middle Sand Island.
The sea hare only heard the news the next day, and he was not too indignant. He was not the kind of person who was full of a sense of justice, but what was a little implicated was that his clothes seemed to have been washed at that woman's place in exchange for food and water during the voyage.
So, there was still a connection. He wasn't someone who would pretend nothing had happened after suffering a loss.
So, he went to the Seahorse House for a meal. Perhaps he didn't bring money, or perhaps he had forgotten, but he didn't pay and was still picky. His mouth wasn't clean either, and he acted as if he was giving her face by eating here … he even asked for takeout!
No one could stand such a scoundrel. Did he come here to dine and dash? The port was full of crooks and honest people, and drunken sailors were everywhere. They thought that they didn't care about anyone who had gone through the ups and downs of the sea. However, the people in the port wouldn't tolerate such a problem. There were many such corpses on the wasteland outside the dock. They were all left behind by the brave sailors. For these people, the port would clearly inform the ship's owner, and wouldn't even try to hide it.
This was a very common thing in Middle Sand Harbor. It happened almost every day. Ships coming from the south to the north would bring all kinds of sailors, but they would repeat the same story. First, they would be rude, then they would quarrel, then they would push and shove, escalate to fists, and finally pull out their weapons and ignore them!
This time, the process was no different. The only difference was that this troublesome sailor was a bit difficult to deal with.
First, it was the Seahorse House's workers and thugs. Then, it was the neighbors next to them. Almost half of the street's people who made a living here had rushed over. Although they were in a competitive relationship with each other, they had to maintain a united front. They had to show Zhongsha Port's toughness. This was their bottom line!
A small fight turned into a big fight. From the first floor to the third floor! All the valuables in the Seahorse House were basically smashed into pieces. Very few of them were intact. Everything that could be swung was used as a weapon and thrown everywhere. Calligraphy and paintings were torn to pieces, utensils were scattered all over the floor, and tables and chairs were not intact. They were either missing a leg or a corner. Even the windows were turned into holes.
This was not a fight, it was a smashing and looting!
The ordinary people had long since hidden far away. The only thing left was the siege of nearly half a hundred origin power users in Middle Sand Harbor. It was useless.
Sea Hare didn't kill people. After reaching a certain level, it didn't make a difference whether or not an expert like him had a weapon in his hand. The only thing he could do was to break his arms and legs, or fall down from a building and become half crippled.
He smashed things very slowly. For half a day, it was as if he was deliberately waiting for more people to come. He waited until no one came forward.
In the end, the trembling chef made a whole set of sumptuous dishes for him and put it in a food box. He even had to send a servant to carry it and follow behind. The sea hare was very satisfied with this free meal!
This was a lesson. Of course, there was nothing to hide. Besides, it was impossible to completely hide your whereabouts in other people's territory.
In his consciousness, everything was done naturally. He didn't know when it started, but there were many things that he no longer cared about. He had a feeling of looking down on others. This kind of confidence was also one of his changes. He didn't know where it came from.
The harbor was in a mess. Countless people were trying to find out who this person was. Which ship did he belong to? What was the secret purpose behind doing this? After asking around, the final conclusion was that he was doing this for a woman with a single parent.
Was it necessary?
Sea Hare returned to the ship at noon. He took a good bath and then began to take an afternoon nap. He was carefree.
But at noon, another guy who had eaten and drunk to his heart's content came back. The harbor was very big. He was on the other side of the harbor, so he got the news a little later.
