Upon seeing Anthony's reaction, Adrian understood what was on his mind. However, he remained silent."Um... Mr. Adrian, we've proven that the previous incident was just a misunderstanding. I hope you can come with me now to help deal with the ghost," Anthony whispered.Adrian sneered and shook his head. "Your voice is too low. I can't hear you."Anthony found himself speechless, feeling as though Adrian was blatantly attempting to humiliate him in front of everyone. Yet, amidst their exchange, people were perishing. With no alternative, Anthony had to raise his voice and reiterate his statement to Adrian.Another commotion swept through the crowd as they came to realize the truth in Adrian's earlier words. Adrian observed their reactions with a cold sneer; lying had never been his preference.After Anthony finished speaking, he awaited Adrian's response with anticipation. Meanwhile, the middle and lower deck passengers also directed their gazes toward Adrian. It dawned on them tha

"Are you trying to gather everyone here?" one of the Grandmasters asked in a whisper, to which Adrian nodded in affirmation.In truth, Adrian harbored lingering doubts regarding the effectiveness of the Spectral Snare against Autumn. Hence, meticulous preparation was imperative. He couldn't bear the thought of the entire ship succumbing to the ghost's wrath; thus, he deemed it necessary for all the Grandmasters from the upper deck to descend to the lower deck. By doing so, they could evade further encounters with Autumn, focusing instead on safeguarding themselves and the hundreds of individuals occupying the lower and middle decks. Only then could Adrian devote his undivided attention to confronting Autumn head-on.A few minutes later, Howard dashed down from the upper deck, accompanied by a retinue of over ten crew members, his expression fraught with panic. Upon catching sight of Adrian, he felt a surge of awkwardness, opting to avert his gaze and attempt entry into the lower deck

The surrounding individuals cast disdainful glares at Howard. Despite the discrepancy in their social standings, his deceitful actions of framing Adrian after the latter had saved his fiancee were perceived as utterly reprehensible."How shameless!" someone muttered indignantly under their breath.Howard's glare pierced through the crowd angrily, yet the voice seemed to reverberate from all directions, rendering it impossible to pinpoint the speaker amid the multitude of eyes fixed upon him. His guards were aware of the identity of the speaker, but in this pivotal moment, they found themselves preoccupied with weightier concerns. Moreover, they couldn't refute the truth in the accusation. Howard's actions were undeniably shameless.Several minutes later, Anthony had dutifully notified all surviving upper deck passengers, prompting over a hundred individuals to hastily descend the narrow corridor leading to the lower deck entrance. Upon encountering Adrian stationed at the threshold,

Adrian turned and spotted a crew member lying on the ground, covered in blood with a pale face. He quickly directed a surge of energy into the man's chest to sustain him.With a glance toward the adjacent corridor, where Autumn likely lay in ambush, Adrian's expression hardened. He nodded decisively and retrieved the Spectral Snare from his pocket."Adrian! Finally! You didn't anticipate me to be this powerful, did you?" Autumn in Sammy’s body materialized at the corridor's end, her blood-red eyes locking onto Adrian.Observing this, Adrian's smirk turned cold."Quit the charade! You've never stood a chance against me. With every soul I've absorbed, my strength has only grown!" Autumn yelled at Adrian, her voice hoarse and ghostly.Adrian chuckled, his gaze fixed on the Spectral Snare in his hand. Just as he was about to activate it, Autumn-Sammy vanished from sight and reappeared abruptly in front of him.Swish!Adrian swiftly unsheathed the Divine Frost Slayer Blade, intercept

In the next moment, a potent gust of wind assailed her from behind, but Autumn had no alternative but to press on. When she glanced back, she was stunned by the sight that met her eyes—the Spectral Snare now hovered in the air, steadily expanding in size.Autumn could no longer maintain her composure. Her once-present ruthlessness and madness now gave way to fear. Meanwhile, the Spectral Snare loomed ominously overhead. In a desperate bid, Autumn released a piercing scream that reverberated throughout the corridor, inducing a slight dizziness in Adrian. Those who were still conscious despite their injuries were swiftly rendered unconscious by her shrill cry.Upon hearing the scream, the occupants of the lower deck instinctively lifted their heads, casting their gazes toward the ceiling. Yet, they could not discern anything amiss. Apart from the lingering echo of the ghostly wail in the air, it appeared as though no other event had taken place.Larissa was taken aback by the scream,

Marc and Larissa exchanged looks. Their main concern now was to silence Howard.Howard thought, ‘Marc and Larissa are eighth-level Grandmasters, just like Adrian. If the ghost gets out of control and attacks, it's safest to stay close to them. But if Marc and Larissa only care about saving themselves, others could be in danger. I need to make their intentions known. Even if they want to escape, they must do so with everyone else. They can't leave everyone behind to face the enemy alone.’Under the scrutiny of the others, Marc put on a strained smile and remarked, "We should start considering our options before it's too late."After Howard brought their intentions to light, they had no option but to suggest a plan alongside the other passengers in the upper-class rooms."Mr. Marc is right. With the situation being this perilous, we need to brainstorm a solution," someone whispered.All eyes then shifted toward Howard. As the ship's owner, he surely had an escape plan.Howard sense

Before Marc could respond, Larissa interjected, "You go on ahead. Lucy will stay with us. She'll be safe.”Howard smirked coldly. "In that case, we'll leave first," he declared.With the landing point on the Central Island of Obscura City less than five hundred kilometers away, boarding the small boats meant they could reach it within a day. This was undoubtedly the prime opportunity to escape. Since Lucy didn't value this chance, it was her loss.Howard led the first group of nobles toward the boiler room, showing no signs of hesitation. The ship’s crew members inside the room had been laboring tirelessly for the past two days to hasten their journey to the shore. Their exhausted faces bore dark circles and dirt smudges, making them appear almost as eerie as the ghost itself.As Anthony entered, all work came to a halt. Following closely behind him were about twenty nobles clad in opulent attire. These individuals were expected to remain in the upper-class deck, yet here they were

"Adrian won’t crumble under pressure. He's not keen on agreeing to our suggestion to approach Everett, but there's still hope," Larissa explained."What do you mean?" Marc's heart raced at the prospect of revitalizing their family by aligning with Everett and momentarily forgetting about their escape plan."Hehe, imagine how Adrian will regard us upon his return after vanquishing the ghost. He’ll see that we’ve honored our commitment to remain here while all the other nobles flee. He'll undoubtedly admire us,” Marc mused, rubbing his chin thoughtfully."But how can you be so sure that Adrian will emerge victorious?" Larissa shook her head. She couldn't guarantee Adrian's triumph over the ghost. Nevertheless, they had no choice but to take the risk."At present, there's an underlying animosity between us and Howard. However, that boy has refrained from targeting us because of Lucy. But Lucy herself..." Larissa sighed.Lucy overheard her parents' conversation. After some pondering,
