They were about to return to the same island where the pirates were. Gu Fan was a little worried about the materials left on the cargo ship. If nothing was left, would he ask the pirates for compensation? They now had a high-powered backer to help settle scores, so he wasn't afraid to claim debts.
Stretching lazily, Gu Fan noticed Xiaohu, appearing unhappy on the deck. Gu Fan walked over, greeted him, and said, "Xiaohu, I've decided that I must fulfill my promise and get you home as soon as possible. So, I've talked to the captain and he's going to arrange for dependable people to take you home with a ship."
On hearing this, Xiaohu was startled, then asked, "Aren't you going to take me home yourself?"
Gu Fan apologized again, "I'm sorry, but I can't leave the Triangle Sea Area just yet. I have stuff to do here."
