"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
Adrian saw the woman on the stern deck in the distance, and his brows furrowed together. ‘Isn’t that the girl I rescued?’But Adrian ignored Lucy and continued rowing away.Lucy wasn’t discouraged by this though. She looked around and noticed that some crew members were closing in on her. They might discover her soon, so she quickly slipped off her cumbersome dress, and underneath was something like a nightgown. She then jumped the railing and plunged into the sea.Splash!The water churned as Lucy once again dropped into the sea. After a little struggle, she broke the surface and started paddling toward the small boat.*Back inside Alfie’s room, the atmosphere was tense. They didn't know when the ghost would appear again, but because of Adrian's caution, they cowered in their room and didn't dare to step outside."Did you guys hear that?" Alfie suddenly asked his companions."It sounded like the sound of someone falling into the water," another person answered in a trembling
Lucy got closer and closer to Adrian. As she approached the small boat, the figure of the man before her became clearer.“I feel like I've seen him somewhere before,” Lucy murmured to herself, “But I don't think I know him. Otherwise, I would've already beaten him up!"Instead of saving her, Adrian went in the opposite direction. Therefore, she was determined to give him a piece of her mind once she got on board.Just as she was about to reach the boat, the young man turned to look at her. Lucy hurriedly suppressed her annoyance and waved to him."I'm here. Could you please pick me up?" she called out.Adrian smiled, shook his head, and then began to row the small boat forward. Initially, the boat was simply drifting on the water. However, now it seemed to gain speed, swiftly bypassing Lucy and closing in on the cruise ship.As the small boat moved away, the waves it created almost caused Lucy to sink under the water. Struggling to stay afloat, she turned around to see Adrian's b
Lucy's face sank when she saw them. She thought that she might as well die than face Howard again.Larissa's eyes were sharper than those around her, and her face paled when she saw the despairing expression on her daughter’s face."Save her! What are you waiting for?1" Howard shouted at Anthony. Startled, Anthony hurriedly called the people in the cockpit to turn the ship around."It's too late. It’ll take at least five minutes to turn the ship around. Lucy will be dead by then," Marc said, his face pale.Even if he and Larissa jumped into the water to save Lucy, it would take several minutes to get close to her. In other words, Lucy's fate was sealed. Just when everyone was in despair, they suddenly heard the sounds of water splashing nearby."How is that guy's boat so fast?" A person leaning on the left railing muttered as he looked down at the sea below.Larissa and the others turned to look and saw a small boat speeding toward the direction of Obscura City."He's using
Larissa was determined to protect everyone present. However, she realized in the next moment that there was no way she could defend against the wall of sword energies in front of her. Boom!The several dozen-meter-tall ship toppled over, and a menacing cross-shaped crack appeared on its hull. Fortunately, Adrian had not exerted all his strength, so the ship had not completely capsized. After the ship regained stability, the waves churned vigorously and created quite a commotion on the sea surface.The ship swayed, and the people on board were in a precarious state. As the boat rocked, over a hundred people on the stern deck were struggling to maintain their balance. Some even resorted to lying on the ground to prevent themselves from being thrown overboard. Some would have fallen into the water if someone wasn’t holding onto them.The situation on the stern deck was dire, and the people in the rooms were not faring much better. Autumn’s sudden appearance had caused everyone on the
Larissa had no other choice right now. When Adrian drew his sword, Lucy sunk into the waves. Although the cruise ship had already stopped, it would still take some time to turn around and rush to Lucy's side. Even if they could make it to her before she drowned, they still needed time to get her out of the water. Their only hope now was to get Adrian to forgive them and get him to turn back and rescue Lucy.However, Adrian did not see it that way. He shook his head impatiently and said, "Since she's your only daughter, you should have protected her. This isn't the first time this has happened."He rowed away, showing no intention of rescuing Lucy.Larissa and Marc's faces turned pale. As for the other passengers around them, they dared not speak to Adrian anymore after his attack. After all, they did not want to offend him and have him slice the ship in half."Adrian? That name rings a bell!" Marc suddenly recalled something. Although he had heard Adrian's name from the crew earlie
