Chapter 953. Ransom

"How do you know about our problem?!" One of the mermen asked.

"Do you know where those children are?!" Another added.

The third one was more antagonistic. "Are you the one responsible for them missing…?!" He uttered. His trident came closer to John.

"Now, now. Please calm down," John said. "Please call your leader out. Of course, if you don't consider those missing children as important, we will leave. It's your choice."

The mermen gave John a hard stare. With the way John acted, they were convinced that John's group was the kidnapper. Maybe this group now came to demand ransom for the kidnapped children.

"Hmph! Go call the sea mother," one of the mermen ordered his comrade. That merman left and swam at high speed toward their town. The remaining two remained on guard with their tridents pointing at John.

John stayed still and whistled as he waited. The whistling annoyed the two mermen, but John didn't stop.
