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
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
Anthony stepped forward with a smile. "Mr. Jack, what happened tonight is something we never anticipated. Your girlfriend being injured also puts us in a difficult position. I assure you though that after we disembark, we will compensate you for this.""Compensate me? Do you think I care about your meager compensation? If it weren't for the lack of space in the upper deck, I wouldn't be living with these lower-class people!" Jack Landry waved as his verbal onslaught sprayed onto everyone around him.Anthony remained calm as he was experienced in handling such situations. The other party was partly frightened and partly venting their anger, so as long as they were given an outlet, things would be much easier.The several crew members looked like they had been wronged. Jack did not hold back from berating them for several minutes though they too were frightened by the ghost.The woman beside Jack was in tears. She covered the bruise on her arm and said, "Darling! You have to make thi
The first person to accept Adrian's apology was Lisa Red, the woman who was with Jack. Looking at Adrian’s handsome face and hearing his gentle and sincere apology had melted her heart."Forget about it, darling. Let’s not make things difficult for others," Lisa said, grabbing Jack’s hand and pulling him away from Adrian. She even threw a flirtatious glance at Adrian.When Jack turned around, he saw Lisa blushing with shyness and was furious. He had yelled and thrown around his weight for her sake, and now she was saying to forget about it after just a few words from this man?Jack cursed inwardly at the foolish woman, then coldly looked at Adrian. "This matter can’t be settled so easily! You must take responsibility for this!”Adrian nodded. "Okay, how do you want me to do that?"Jack sneered and said contemptuously, "Just an apology isn’t enough. You have to apologize to us on your knees."The crowd showed looks of discomfort. While they harbored some resentment toward Adrian,
"What the hell are you doing?!" Anthony's expression fell when he saw Adrian dare to act against him.Adrian turned around and said coldly, "The ghost is still roaming the ship. If you don't want to cause greater danger, stop bothering me with such petty matters."Anthony glowered. He turned to the crew members behind him and commanded, "Take him down!"The crew was at least a seventh-level Grandmaster. Anthony himself was also a Grandmaster. In their eyes, dealing with Adrian was not a problem. Several people rushed up together, but before they could reach Adrian, a sword flew past them.Anthony, who was at the forefront, suddenly turned pale. The Divine Frost Slayer Blade was now pressing into his neck. If he took just one step forward, his head could be chopped off."Don't act recklessly, we—""It should be you who shouldn't act recklessly." The glint in Adrian’s eyes was cold. He threw the almost unconscious Jack aside and grabbed the Divine Frost Slayer Blade that was suspen
Howard was stunned. All he wanted to ask was how to deal with the ghost. Unexpectedly, Anthony had figured out the ghost’s origin.Howard surveyed Adrian and frowned, asking, "Where did this guy come from?"Anthony's gaze subconsciously turned toward the Wainwright family who was standing nearby. Howard noticed the shift in Anthony's eyes, and then he realized why Adrian looked so familiar. Adrian was the mysterious person who saved Lucy. He had not taken the mysterious person seriously, and Marc had no intention of revealing the other party's identity, so Lucy was still in the dark. Howard had been very satisfied with this.Howard glanced at the more than one hundred people who were all looking at him. He smiled and said, "So it was you who brought the ghost aboard. What should we do with you now?"He didn't want others to know Adrian's identity, so he took the initiative to change the subject.Anthony hurriedly said, "We’ve prepared a boat for him and he’s willing to leave volun
Adrian looked over the side of the ship and asked, "The small boat down there is for me?"Anthony nodded. "There are enough supplies on board for you to reach the coastline of Obscura."Adrian nodded back. "Okay." He then jumped over the railing and into the boat.Adrian wasn’t confident that Autumn would not catch up to him. The current situation indicated that the other party intended to stop him from reaching Obscura, but neither side had enough power to significantly influence the other. Autumn might choose to absorb the fear of the ship passengers to gain more power before going after Adrian. The ship would take over a day to reach Obscura, and with Adrian using a small boat, he would take even more time to reach the city. Therefore, Autumn could linger on the ship for a while before coming after Adrian. This was why Adrian felt pessimistic about Autumn leaving the ship. However, he had no way to deal with Autumn at the moment, so leaving was the only measure he could take. A
