Heart Stealer

On the vast ocean, a dilapidated pirate ship is sailing on the rough sea.

The captain of this ship is none other than the famous pirate leader - Zhao Hu!

At this moment, he was leading his men in a thrilling battle with another group of pirates on the high seas.

The battle was extremely fierce and both sides paid a heavy price.

In the end, Zhao Hu's side defeated the enemy with a smaller force and not only defeated the enemy, but also robbed all the enemy's ships and obtained a large amount of property.

When they returned to their nest with their spoils, the whole ship was filled with laughter and joy.

The pirates were very excited and raised their glasses to celebrate the victory.

They drank wine and ate meat in big mouthfuls, enjoying the joy brought by victory.

In this lively atmosphere, Zhao Hu sat alone in the corner, drinking silently.

He sometimes sighed, sometimes groaned, looking like he had a lot on his mind.

At this time, Biao Ge, a brother who had followed Zhao Hu for many years, noticed his abnormality.

Brother Biao walked up to Zhao Hu and asked with concern, "Boss, why are you drinking here alone? Is there something bothering you?"

Zhao Hu slowly put down his wine glass, smiled bitterly and said, "Hey, Biaozi, although I have a fortune, I have no children. What's the point of making more money?" After saying that, he couldn't help but sigh.

After hearing this, Brother Biao patted Zhao Hu on the shoulder and said comfortingly, "Boss, don't be too pessimistic. Maybe your destiny just hasn't arrived yet. When you meet the right woman and have a child, someone will inherit your family business in the future."

Zhao Hu smiled bitterly and said, "Biaozi, that's easy for you to say. Pirates like us spend our days robbing and pillaging. Which decent woman would be willing to marry me?"

Brother Biao thought for a moment and said, "Boss, how about we go and rob a few beautiful women and bring them back to be our wives?"

Zhao Hu glared at Brother Biao and cursed, "What nonsense are you talking about? Even though we are pirates, we can't do such immoral things. Can the women we kidnap live with us peacefully?"

Brother Biao scratched his head and said, "What should we do then? Are you going to live alone forever?"

Zhao Hu was silent for a moment, then sighed and said, "Maybe this is my fate..."

Hearing this, Brother Biao suggested, "Boss, if that's the case, why don't you consider adopting a son to inherit your property? That way, your wealth will be passed down to someone."

Zhao Hu's eyes suddenly lit up and he thought this was a good idea.

He looked carefully at the brothers on the boat, but no matter how hard he looked, he still couldn't find a candidate that satisfied him.

He couldn't help but shook his head, and the hope that had just been ignited gradually shattered.

The weather at sea is always unpredictable, with changes from cloudy to sunny.

Just now the sun was shining and the sky was clear, but in the blink of an eye, the sky in the distance became gloomy, and a huge dark cloud, like a ferocious black beast, pressed towards this side with great momentum.

The weather forecast issued a timely warning, reminding people that a once-in-a-century super typhoon would sweep in in the next few days.

All fishing boats operating at sea are required to return to port as soon as possible to avoid wind and danger.

The wind and waves on the sea were getting stronger and stronger. The originally calm sea surface became turbulent, and the waves were getting higher and higher, as if they were going to capsize the entire ship.

The strong wind rolled up the dark clouds, forming a terrible storm that caused the ship to shake violently.

Even those pirates who had been on the sea for many years and experienced countless storms could not help but feel fear at this moment, fearing that a huge wave would suddenly hit and swallow their small boat.

The pirates had no appetite for drinking. They were worried that they would be swallowed by the typhoon.

The crowd was growing restless, and some had begun to complain.

"Damn it, everyone, please be patient!"

A pirate with a fierce face, a loud voice and full of confidence stood up and shouted.

His voice seemed to have magical power. The crowd that was noisy and shouting just now suddenly became quiet, and even the sound of a needle falling could be heard.

A young pirate who was familiar with this area cautiously approached Zhao Hu and suggested, "Boss, there's an uninhabited island 200 nautical miles northwest. We can go there to avoid the typhoon."

After hearing this, Zhao Hu's frown suddenly relaxed and a glimmer of hope flashed in his eyes.

He excitedly announced loudly: "Brothers, we are saved! Change course immediately and head northwest at full speed!"

Zhao Hu ordered the pirates to sail at full speed and race against the typhoon.

The pirates worked together and put all their efforts into steering the ship.

About three hours later, they finally found the safe haven that the little pirate had mentioned.

The wind and waves seemed to know that these people had reached their destination, and their power gradually weakened.

The crowd drove the dilapidated pirate ship and swayed in the waves towards the shore of the island.

Zhao Hu stood at the bow, the sea breeze blowing his hair wantonly, his eyes were firm and cold, as if he was looking for his next target.

Before the ship stopped, the sharp-eyed pirates saw a ragged and disheveled beggar on the shore. Without thinking twice, they tied the "beggar" up and brought him to Zhao Hu.

"How do you deal with it, Boss?"

"You figure it out yourself!"

Zhao Hu waved his hand and was about to leave. The beggar was very clever, knowing that he had encountered a pirate who killed people without blinking an eye, and he cried for help.

"My king, please spare my life, my king."

Zhao Hu was about to leave, but after thinking for a moment, he suddenly changed his mind and ordered someone to bring the beggar over.

Zhao Hu saw that although the beggar was disheveled, he looked quite strong.

His eyes turned and he ordered people to untie the beggar, shave his long hair, and change him into a new set of clothes.

After the beggar changed into new clothes, he looked refreshed and his mental state was obviously much better.

His skin was a healthy rosy black, and although a little rough, it exuded a unique charm.

If you look closely, you can see that his facial features are clearly defined and his eyes are bright and determined.

Although he still has a bit of wildness and unruliness, his overall image has undergone earth-shaking changes.

It turned out that the beggar was Wu Xin who was trapped on a deserted island, and he was finally redeemed.

He said to Zhao Hu with tears of gratitude: "Thank you very much for rescuing me, brother. Without your help, I would be trapped on the island forever. Please accept my humble greeting!" As he said that, he was about to kneel down to salute.

Zhao Hu quickly stepped forward to help Wu Xin up, and said with a smile: "Don't be so polite, please stand up quickly. Since we are all brothers, don't be too restrained. Come, sit down first and talk." After that, Zhao Hu personally gave Wu Xin a seat and ordered his men to pour wine for him.

Wu Xin picked up the wine glass without hesitation, drank it all, then filled it again and drank three glasses in a row.

Seeing this, Zhao Hu couldn't help but clapped his hands and exclaimed: "Great, little brother, you really have a good alcohol tolerance! Hahahaha..."

Zhao Hu stroked his signature sheep-like beard and asked with a smile, "Looking at our attire, you should be able to guess who we are, right?"

Wu Xin nodded and said, "Yes, Boss."

Zhao Hu continued to ask: "So, are you willing to join us?"

Wu Xin replied excitedly: "Of course I am willing! As long as the boss doesn't mind, I will go through fire and water for you, without hesitation!"

Zhao Hu has a new brave general under his command! He is secretly happy.

He happily raised his glass, toasted Wu Xin, and introduced the pirate leaders around him to him one by one.

Everyone raised their glasses and laughter rang out.

Everyone rearranged their cups and plates and drank happily.

From this moment on, Wu Xin followed Zhao Hu, plundering passing ships and officially became a pirate.

Wu Xin showed extraordinary bravery, and soon Zhao Hu grew fond of and respected Wu Xin, eventually deciding to adopt him as his adopted son...
