Chapter 2

The discarded peels were scattered around the table literally making Ji Yao's eye twitch. Though fixing his eyes on his book you could tell it was bothering him as he clenched the book tightly to keep himself from reacting.

Ji Yao heaved a sigh of relief when the peels stopped flying thinking Ji Wen had finally given up but he was wrong because two seconds later apple peels were flung inches away from his book.

This was the last straw. He cleaned up the mess without saying a word while Ji Wen nervously laughed while coaxing him, "Are you still upset with me? Come on haven't I apologized several times but who could blame me when you look good in a dres-" he said before a sizzling thunderbolt struck near his pocket watch as a warning.

Why was Ji Yao angry one might ask? It was because Ji Wen was involved in a childish fight with his arch-nemesis Zhang Li. Instead of blowing up each other's fleets or duelling like how normal adults resolved their disputes, the two chose to steal each other's valuables whenever they met.

Ji Wen had already been robbed of his adorable corgi, Brute, the last time they met. This time Ji Wen retaliated by stealing Zhang Li's precious legendary sword that he flaunted everywhere he went. But to do that he had to strike when the man was less vigilant and the only place he could possibly relax was at Peachtree brothel in the coastal city named Lang.

To infiltrate the brothel and steal the sword, Ji Wen literally nagged the hell out of his son Ji Yao till the boy's brain ached in agony. Knowing his father's character, he would never be at peace for the rest of his life if he didn't do this for him. So Ji Wen dolled up his sixteen-year-old son and sold him to the brothel without a hitch.

All Ji Yao had to do was serve drinks to Zhang Li and his rowdy crew but given his appearance, Zhang Li's son Zhang Ci fancied him and groped his ***.Well, with Ji Yao's temperament you can imagine how that turned out. Ji Wen got what he wanted but his already taciturn son was icing him out even more making him feel helpless. "Yah, Yah don't be mad at your dad anymore. It's been a week already and look your dearest father has even grown a few grey hairs in worry," he said in a pleading tone while leaning forward to show him the few grey strands sprouting from his scalp.

Ji Yao, "...."

The boy couldn't help but wonder who exactly was the parent in this relationship. If Ji Wen's entire armada only knew that the commander of the entire roguish sea was selling meng just to suck up to his son they would most likely jump ship and follow Zhang Li instead.
