Chapter: 1777
Tae Musang had done everything he can to survive.
He had begged, pickpocketed, and even worked on boats.
None of these jobs were kind to the orphan. Among them, the most brutal job was working on a boat.
The captain and the crew members were eager to exploit orphans like Tae Musang who had nothing. They would assign Tae Musang all the tasks they were supposed to do.
As a result, Tae Musang was treated more like a slave throughout the whole voyage. Every day felt like hell. He would suffer from muscle pain and all sorts of illnesses. That was why after three months on board, Tae Musang decided to quit.
He felt like he was going to die if he continued working in such horrible conditions. But getting off the boat wasn�t easy either.
The captain had no intention of letting go of a slave who was easy to control. He believed it would be foolish to let go of someone who could be used for free labor for a lifetime, which was why the captain even tried to put shackles on Tae Musang�s feet.
The captain wanted to tie Tae Musang to the boat so he couldn�t escape.
Tae Musang eventually realized that he couldn�t get off the boat in the normal way, so he sneaked out a knife he used to clean fish, hid it, and stabbed the captain while he was off guard.
The incident left the captain with a severe wound, and he was labeled by the sailors as a dangerous troublemaker that could not be trusted.
Although Tae Musang gained his freedom, he was never allowed to board a boat again. Moreover, he didn�t get to receive a single penny for all the work he had done.
After his traumatizing experiences, Tae Musang decided that he would never board a boat again for a second time.
He didn�t want to experience being exploited on the boat again. He just wanted it to remain a memory he wanted to erase.
But if there was one good thing, it was that he had learned all the ways to handle a boat thanks to the intense exploitation he had suffered. He was skilled enough to navigate the boat alone.
Now, Tae Musang was steering the boat of the captain who had ruthlessly exploited him. Of course, he didn�t have permission to sail it. He had secretly stolen it. Still, Tae Musang didn�t feel guilty.
The cost of his exploitation could easily buy a boat ike this.
Tae Musang adjusted the sail to catch the wind and looked ahead.
On the boat�s deck, there were a man and a woman.
Pyo-wol and Yul Ayeon.
When Geomyeon�s condition recovered to some extent, Yul Ayeon ordered Tae Musang to look for a boat.
At that time, he didn�t know why Yul Ayeon instructed such a thing. But Tae Musang, who had fallen for Yul Ayeon, stole the boat of the captain who had exploited him without any hesitation.
As the two of them were waiting on the boat, Jin Yoo-gun and his men appeared in the harbor. Tae Musang instantly recognized Jin Yoo-gun. After all, there was only one man with white-gray hair that glistened under the moonlight in Haimen.
Jin Yoo-gun and his men stole a fishing boat just like Tae Musang before sailing away into the sea.
Just when Tae Musang was unsure of what to do, Pyo-wol appeared. He boarded the boat Tae Musang and Yul Ayeon were on as if he knew they were waiting.
To Tae Musang, neither Yul Ayeon, who asked him to steal a boat and wait, nor Pyo-wol, who ordered the chase in a boat as if he knew this would happen, seemed like ordinary people.
�These two are definitely not ordinary people.�
Tae Musang had already witnessed Pyo-wol�s strength with his own eyes, but he hadn�t expected even Yul Ayeon to be this exceptional.
Compared to them, Tae Musang felt like nothing, yet here he was now, recklessly acting without knowing how vast the world was, like a frog in a well.
He wondered, how ridiculous must he have appeared in their eyes?
The more he thought about it, the more he wanted to bury his head in a mouse hole. JrNovels.com
