Chapter: 1695
�How many more should we call?�
�Why are you even asking? Call every last one of them! You know that we can�t afford to let any of the Sea Dragon Sect�s men catch us making a mistake!�
The middle-aged man said nervously.
His name was Bang Duyeol.
He was a mid-level manager of the Red Bandana Association.2
The Red Bandana Association is an organization created to protect the rights and interests of workers at the port.
When the port was first established, the workers were exploited for cheap labor. So to stop this from happening, workers who were trained in martial arts decided to form an organization.
The Red Bandana Association protected the workers from being extorted by merchants and assigned workers to the ships entering the port.
Most of the workers in the port belonged to the Red Bandana Association, so no one dared to disrespect them.
What�s more, in recent decades, the Red Bandana Association has begun to select the strongest among its laborers and send them to nearby martial arts sects to learn martial arts. They did so for their own protection.
Thanks to their efforts, this elevated the standing of the Red Bandana Association from just a group of workers, to a powerful organization.�
All the workers belonging to the Red Bandana Association wore red bandanas on their heads.
Their stature in Haimen was so high that no one dared to dismiss them as menial workers.
For without the Red Bandana Association sending its workers, the port would cease to function properly. However, there was one group that even the Red Bandana Association did not dare to ignore, and that was the Sea Dragon Sect.
The Sea Dragon Sect is a faction that had long established itself at Haimen. However, as time went on, they began to encroach on the territory of merchants. When they had grown in scale, they eventually started operating their own ships, since they realized that they could make a much bigger profit this way.
The Sea Dragon Sect and the Red Bandana Association have coexisted for a long time. While there were times that they were at odds against each other, there were also times that they found themselves working together.
There have been major disputes between the two organizations in the past, but as of now, they share a fairly good relationship. This is because they now recognize each other�s territory to a certain extent.
Whenever the Sea Dragon Sect�s ships returned, the Red Bandana Association would summon all of its workers. This was to ensure that nothing bad happens with the Sea Dragon Sect.
After a few moments, the workers gathered around Bang Duyeol.
There were more than a hundred of them, not including those who were not working at the time.
�I don�t think I need to say much.�
Bang Duyeol wrinkled his nose.
After a while, the Sea Dragon Sect�s merchant ships slowly entered the port.
The merchant ships were enormous as they sailed through the rough seas. It was so big that it almost looked like a small island floating on the sea.
Thump!
The ship finally docked with a dull sound.
Immediately, the gangplank was lowered, and a middle-aged man dressed in colorful clothing came down from the front.
Bang Duyeol immediately recognized the man and approached him.
�You�ve traveled a long way, my lord.�
The man�s name was Lee Seong-hak, a captain of the Sea Dragon Sect. JrNovels.com
