Chapter 587

Joanna soon made up her mind.

She took a cab to Greyport West.

She made arrangements in advance, and she found the smuggler almost effortlessly.

“Michael told me about you. How much does it cost to take me to Mossbourne?” Joanna asked.

The smuggler was a middle-aged man in his fifties, nicknamed Rooster. He was a scrawny man with a deep tan due to his prolonged time at sea. His beady eyes were cunning and shrewdl.

“You want to go to Mossbourne?” Rooster looked at Joanna curiously.

Most people wanted to sneak into Greyport from Mossbourne and seldom vice versa.

Still, there were exceptions. Occasionally, some people would use this method to go to Mossbourne.

Joanna subconsciously lowered her cap and tried to look calm.

“It’ll take two days to get to Mossbourne. One day for us to send you to the sea boundary, you can swim to the mainland yourself. The cost is cheap, only 1,000 dollars,” said Rooster.

“Of course, if you want to be more comfortable, we can arrange to take you across the sea boundary. Very risky for us and will cost more. It’s 4,000 dollars.”

Joanna chose the expensive option without hesitation. “No problem. 4,000 dollars it is. When can we leave?”

Rooster took another drag on his cigarette. “We can’t leave today. We’ll have to wait.”

Joanna was puzzled. “Why?”

Rooster became impatient. “Come on, didn’t you see the weather forecast? There’s a typhoon tonight. The waves will be strong. We can’t leave.”

Joanna was anxious. “When can we leave, then?

“Not for at least another two days,” said Rooster indifferently.

“It’s the typhoon season now. The Parrot will be landing soon. We won’t be able to leave for the next two days.”

“Please help me! I’m in a hurry. I can pay more,” Joanna said in a panic.
