At that moment, Gu Fan, Lu Yi, Jie, Xu Haowen, Du Jun, and Ouyang Jin were all taken hostage. Seeing the weapons and the menacing look of the pirates, everyone was terrified.
They had heard stories of hostages not faring well if the pirates didn't receive the ransoms they demanded. Naturally, no one wanted to meet such ill fate.
Just then, Qiao Ya stood up with his hands raised high, immediately drawing the pirates' alertness as they aimed their guns at him.
Qiao Ya calmly uttered something, causing the pirate to frown. He said something else which made the pirate hesitate for a moment before walking away with Qiao Ya.
Gu Fan was puzzled. As the language was foreign, he couldn't understand what Qiao Ya had said, but noticed that the pirates' attitude towards Qiao Ya seemed less hostile now.
