Chapter 2877
A few minutes later, the person tasked with inspecting the pouch returned. Although the cabin's air circulation wasn't great and it felt a bit stuffy, it shouldn't make one sweat profusely given the weather. But the person who returned was not only sweating; his entire body was drenched in a cold sweat. His hands that were holding onto the pouch revealed bulging veins.As he entered, he kept looking around, afraid that someone would snatch the pouch from his hands. He lowered his voice, excitedly saying, "There… There really is one hundred million inside here!"Brutus turned to look at Adrian, nodding and saying, "I'll take you to see the goods." He quickly put away the pouch into his pocket and looked warily at Alfie and the others.Adrian followed Brutus to the latter’s room. Alfie and the others followed along. They were very curious about what Adrian was willing to spend one hundred million to buy.After arriving at Brutus' cabin, they saw that there were two people guarding th
Chapter 2878
Brutus looked at Alfie’s group happily. These guys weren't jinxes; they were lucky stars! Compared to the jubilant atmosphere on Brutus’ side, Alfie’s group seemed listless. They had hired Adrian to teach Brutus’ group a lesson. Their biggest concern was whether Adrian could rough them up, but Adrian proved that he could.However, what happened next exceeded their expectations. Adrian struck a deal with Brutus' group, allowing the latter to make a big profit. Adrian truly was a gold mine. He offered one hundred million crystals without even batting an eye. Alfie’s group found it unbelievable that such a person would come down to the lower deck."Sir, were you already on the ship when we set sail?" a person beside Alfie asked.Adrian replied, "I came up last night.""Did the ship dock last night?""What nonsense! The ship departed from Cras Island and is on a one-way trip to Central Island. It doesn’t pass any islands in between."Alfie trembled, looking at Adrian with suspicion

Alfie tossed and turned, then looked out at the dark and calm waves outside his window. The wind was calm. The water wasn’t always turbulent, sometimes even appearing rather serene. At this moment, the sea seemed exceptionally deep under the moonlight, so deep that it felt somewhat unsettling.Suddenly, Alfie noticed a slender, fair hand clinging to the windowsill and went wide-eyed. The hand was clearly that of a woman’s, and it was too pale. The moonlight showed that it lacked any trace of blood.Feeling like his eyes were playing tricks on him, Alfie abruptly sat up and took a closer look. He rubbed his eyes, finding it hard to believe what he saw. ‘It must be my imagination,’ he thought.Then he lay back down, turning his back to the window. Out of sight, out of mind, right?But for some reason, Alfie then felt a chilling breeze brushing against the back of his neck, sending shivers down his spine. His hair stood on end, and he sat back up and turned to the window again, and

Autumn knew Adrian wasn't asleep. She knew that even if he was asleep, he would awaken once she appeared. And just as she couldn't kill Adrian, he couldn't kill her either, at least not for now."You’re also unable to kill me though,” Autumn replied softly.Adrian turned around to look at the Divine Frost Slayer Blade and the Hellblade. In his impression, the Divine Frost Slayer Blade could cleanse any filth in the world. However, this floating head was somewhat peculiar. The last time he had tried to use the Divine Frost Slayer Blade to injure her, it didn't have much effect. It was the Hellblade that drove her away with a single strike. But even so, it failed to cause her any fatal damage. Otherwise, she wouldn't be here bothering him again.He frowned, turning back to look coldly at Autumn. He thought that since she couldn't kill him, why was she continuing to harass him? Was she using the fear of others to strengthen herself?"From your expression, it seems you've figured it ou

Adrian nodded. "Those in the upper deck chased me down here yesterday."The leader nodded indifferently, unconcerned about what had happened to Adrian. It didn't matter as long as it wasn't someone from the lower deck going up. He also knew that the people in the middle and upper decks weren’t necessarily of better personalities than those in the lower decks. Adrian must’ve offended someone important.He cast a cold glance at Adrian and then went back to his room.Seeing that the commotion had ended, those from other cabins also returned to their rooms. They had heard someone shouting about a ghost, but no one in modern society believed in ghosts and monsters.Alfie’s group stood at the door, looking somewhat bewildered.Adrian smiled at them and softly said, "Aren’t you gonna come in?""Are you really Mr. Adrian?" Alfie and the others suspected that Adrian might have been possessed by the ghost."Don't overthink it. Do you think it's safer to stay with me or to face the ghost o
Chapter 2882
Adrian responded casually, "It’s just a ghost playing tricks."The woman in the white nightgown became even more nervous upon learning this. As she fled, she had been stumbled a few times, so her nightgown was now dirty. With a frightened expression, she sat down on a nearby chair.The incident in the lower deck spread quickly among all the passengers, and over five hundred people gathered in the lower deck hall. Even the previously impatient leader of the lower deck crew came out of his room, accompanied by more than a dozen other crew members.The crew members looked deathly anxious. After some investigation, they confirmed that there was indeed a ghost. They hadn’t believed Alfie’s group’s story earlier, but now at least dozens had seen the floating woman's head. Even if they didn't want to admit it, there was no way around it.A person clad in a white uniform, the one who came to Adrian’s room earlier, approached Adrian. "Your name’s Adrian, right? You drove away the ghost earl
Chapter 2883
Anthony didn’t even spare Adrian, who was standing beside Tony, a glance.Tony helplessly explained, "The ghost appeared out of nowhere and almost hurt someone. It was Mr. Adrian who drove it away."Anthony then finally looked at Adrian.Adrian chuckled and said, "No need to thank me."Anthony scowled, shouting at Adrian, "You’re the one who probably brought the ghost here! I've been working on this route for decades and have never encountered such a situation before!"Anthony's dissatisfaction peaked. One of the passengers jumping overboard last night had almost ended his career. Although that incident had a good outcome, in the end, he was still shaken. To top it off, such a bizarre thing had occurred.There were many legends about the fierce sea and plenty of stories containing ghosts and monsters. Anthony believed them to all be nonsense though. He had worked in this line for decades and had never seen a so-called “vengeful spirit.” It wasn't until Adrian arrived that he enco

Adrian shook his head. "You're just trying to concentrate your forces and protect the people in the middle and upper decks. But what if I tell you that the ghost will become even more powerful after injuring someone?"When he spoke, Adrian deliberately spoke loudly. Once he was done, the hundreds on the lower deck became restless."We may be on the lower deck, but we're still human!""That's right! We're human!""You better send someone to protect us!"Anthony grimaced. He gritted his teeth and looked at Adrian, thinking, ‘This guy is such a troublemaker!’Adrian was spot on. Anthony didn't care about the lower deck passengers. These people didn’t bring him much profit, after all. The only reason such cheap lower-deck tickets were even made available was simply to provide a sense of superiority for those in the middle or upper decks.Hearing the dissident voices, Anthony analyzed the situation carefully. Looking at the more than five hundred people, he conceded, "Fine. You two s
