Chapter 105

According to the information from Randolph, it could be concluded into three points:

First of all, there was a high possibility that Shane Riley had known about that accident on the sea beforehand .

Secondly, the accident on the sea was more likely an arrangement by the priest of the Nobility God’s church .

Thirdly, Shane Riley would leave this place soon .

“In conclusion, I find Shane Riley very suspicious . ” After a short rest at the hotel, Lei told everyone all the information he got then stated his analysis, “This thing may be a scheme of his and that priest . “

Toward his analysis, no one had an opinion . After a discussion, they decided to go to the Garles Chamber of Commerce the next morning—–which was also the one established this place . If there weren’t any surprises, Shane would stay there .

But unexpected things always happen . Early in the next morning, when they reached the Garles Chamber of Commerce, the gatekeeper told them that recently, the President Shane had been busy preparing for the next business and didn’t have time to receive guests .

Lei raised his brows, giving Stelle a signal . Stelle had developed a deep mutual understanding with Lei, so she immediately stepped forward to use her seduction ability on the gatekeeper .

Stelle’s seduction ability had a strong power . It represented her “Holy Spirit” nature . Even many legendary powerhouses couldn’t resist her seduction . That gatekeeper was just a brawny man . He at most had just stepped in the team of the “professional adventurers”, his ability was not as good as Stelle’s either . How could he resist this?

Facing the eyes of Stelle for a few seconds, his eyes immediately became silly and he completely lost his consciousness .

“Is President Shane here?” Stelle gently asked .

“I don’t know . It has been several days since I last saw him . “

Lei furrowed his brows and asked, “Then who can meet with him?”

“He said that his body didn’t feel good these days and he would not meet anybody . “

“His body doesn’t feel good? You didn’t say that a moment ago!”

“This is the President’s instruction . He said if someone wanted to see him, I had to answer that ‘the President is busy preparing for a business trip, and doesn’t have time to greet any guests’ . “

Lei furrowed his brows again, asked, “Where is he now?”

“The President is in the room near the sea on the second floor . “

Lei nodded as he looked at Sui Xiong, “Highness, may I ask for your help to check that room a little bit?”

Normally, he wouldn’t have disturbed Sui Xiong with this trivial matter . But he had a bad feeling about this . Hence he didn’t want to waste a second waiting .

Sui Xiong used the spirit sensing to check the room . He didn’t find Shane Riley inside, but instead, a gray-haired old man who was laying on his chest on the floor . There was a dagger in his back . He probably had been dead for several days . His corpse had not rotted due to the preservation of the magic .

Shane Riley was the son of the Garles city’s Lord . Based on common sense, no matter how old he was, he wouldn’t be an old man . So who on earth was this old man? Why was he killed in Shane’s room?

Sui Xiong launched the magic, projected the image of the old man into the sky, asking the gatekeeper about his identity . The old man turned out to be the Vice President of the Chamber of Commerce who was in charge of daily activities for the chamber as well as the trusted aide of the President, Shane .

“A murder to prevent the betrayal of the secret!” Lei coldly said, “Seems like Shane has run away already!”

After a while, the entire Garles Chamber of Commerce was in a mess . The President was missing . The Vice President was killed . Such news like that made people dumbfounded .

Sui Xiong and others summoned all the people in the Chamber of Commerce to interrogate one by one .

It took them a while to finally learn about Shane’s whereabouts—-in the evening eight days ago, a guard in charge of night patrol accidentally met the Vice President wearing a hat and hurriedly leaving . Through analysis, Sui Xiong determined there was a trace of hypnosis magic on his corpse . Combining this with the time of the Vice President’s death to infer, at that time, it was estimated that Shane was the one who killed the Vice President, then used magic to turn into the Vice President’s appearance to leave .

It was just that . . . . Why did Shane run away hurriedly like that? Why did he need to use such a scheme? Exactly what secret did he want to hide so that he needed to kill his trusted aide?

“No matter what secret he had, in short, right now this is the only clue we have to trace him . ” Lei thought for a little while before making a decision, “His destination is more likely Garles city . We just need to follow that direction to chase after him!”

“Want to fly there?” Sui Xiong asked .

“It is not convenient to travel by air with so many people,” Lei said, “Since he has been gone already for eight days, we don’t need to worry about wasting one day or two . When we are all ready, we will immediately get on the boat to get to Garles City . “

Therefore, everyone got themselves ready . Chariots, horses, and other stuff that weren’t convenient to bring on the boat were all sold off . They also had to find a fleet of boats to get to Garles city .

But they could not find any fleet going to Garles city . A seasoned old captain suggested them going by boat to the White Tower harbor first, then going by boat from the White Tower to the Dhaka Association, then going from the Dhaka Association to the Blue Moon Kingdom . From the Blue Moon Kingdom, they would be able to find boats to Garles city .

“That course wouldn’t waste you too much time . ” That captain said, “The journey would be prolonged at most seven to eight days . To a long journey, this is nothing . “

His words were very convincing . Hence, everything was decided .

Later in the afternoon, everyone got on this boat to head to the White Tower harbor .

Form the Cloud Tower harbor to the White Tower harbor, the journey was not long . The war ship disguised as a passenger ship was traveling on the calm sea . It was very smooth on the way . This ship commuted between two harbors all year around . No matter if it was the captain or the sailors, they all got rich experiences . To them, this sea was like their backyard . They knew almost every single reef and every single aquifer like the back of their hand . It wasn’t dangerous going on this boat, and it was quite comfortable and enjoyable as if they were traveling .

When they changed boats at the White Tower harbor, the situation was almost the same . In the east of the Mystique Tower Federation, there was a small country named “Dhaka Association” . The country was developed relying on the Marin industry . The shipping business was flourishing . In a long period of time in the past, only the boats of the Dhaka Association could cross the dangerous Iron Cliff mountain range to get to the Blue Moon Kingdom in the east . Therefore, they had monopolized the business on this sea .

From beginning to end, it took almost twenty days to travel . Due to being stuck in a small sailing boat all the time, they couldn’t help but become a little bit lazy . Even Lady Teague and Liv were not an exception . Stelle didn’t go crazy, but turned into a pig, playing with little Agnes all day long, to kill the boring times .

Lei of course wouldn’t be bored . He was very interested in learning the sailing technique from them (the sailing technique of the captain was kept confidential) . On the other hand, he also taught his new students martial arts . When he got the time, he would sit on the edge of the boat to fish . He didn’t feel bored even a little bit .

In comparison to Liv, who had become a little lazy, Frank was more hardworking . Every day he practiced diligently . Every time he practiced until he was exhausted . After taking a good rest, he continued practicing again . With careful calculation, every day he practiced about twelve hours .

There was a so-called saying that went ‘good things come to those who wait’, every drop of sweat would not be wasted . In the short period of twenty days, his sword art had showed a significant improvement . If using Lei’s way of speaking, it would be “finally, you can look a little bit alike” . When he practiced with Liv, he was not suppressed long, but could use his fist, attacking and defending . Even though he would fall into the lower hand, he didn’t panic . He indeed alreadly looked a bit like a swordsman .

But when they changed boats from the Dhaka Association to go to the Blue Moon Kingdom, the living conditions were not uncomfortable like this .

They sat in the pure passenger ship . Despite the expensive ticket, the condition of the small cabin on the boat was completely first class . Except for the narrow space, the decoration and furniture were not much different from a hotel room . The captain was a very strict old man . He was extremely perverse, all day he kept stressing “the sea is very dangerous”, not allowing guests to walk around the deck .

Even Lei couldn’t stand the boring stay in the cabin for a long time . As for Sui Xiong, he went straight back to the sea, once again changing into the appearance that was suited for acting under the sea, wandering everywhere .

With his guarding, what kind of danger could this boat encounter?

But he indeed had been happy too soon .

When the boat passed the most famous reef in the Iron Cliff mountain range—- the “Hell Bay”, the original blue sky was suddenly covered densely with black clouds . The tranquil sea started to rage . Waves followed back-to-back wave after wave . It was as if a storm would surge in instantly .

The captain was surprised, immediately ordering the entire sailor group to act quickly . They retracted a part of the sail and reduced the speed of the boat to avoid the danger . They also increased the observation of the sea to carefully avoid the reefs and other things that were way more dangerous than the reefs .

Due to the mighty abilities, Lei and Lady Teague were both invited on deck to guard with the sailor group .

“Meet a sea monster?” Lei sounded both curious and excited as he asked .

Such a seasoned adventurer with many years of experiences like him, who had killed a mountainous monster, beaten a giant dragon, had met a God, still hadn’t met a sea monster yet!

The weather-beaten faces of the sailor looked serious, he worriedly and frightenedly said, “It is really a sea monster, moreover it is not a normal monster . Maybe it is the “Raging Tide” Sarah Heim . “

“Sarah Heim? Is that the famous one with the “Undercurrent” Tim Thrall?” Lei was a little surprised . When he got an answer from the sailor, he could not help but be more curious .

The “Raging Tide” and the “Undercurrent” were the two most famous sea monsters in the Main Surface . They didn’t only have mighty powers, but also many legendary stories . Until now, no one had known what they looked like or what their true appearances were .

Lei of course knew very well that with his ability, there was absolutely no possibility for him to see the true appearance of that giant sea monster from legends . But right now isn’t the Highness Hollow Mask here?! Highness will definitely be curious and go investigate until the end . If he sees it, how can he not tell me?

“I didn’t expect he could have such good luck on a sea voyage!” He couldn’t restrain his laugher, “Maybe . . . I’ll become the first person to know the real appearance of the “Raging Tide”!”

Through the spirit channel, he told Sui Xiong about the words of the sailor group . As expected, Sui Xiong was very curious, and he went directly to the center of the stormy sea to check .

In the middle of a stormy sea, he could see a source of dark power which was constantly raging, making the seawater around look like it was boiling . There was a small gust of whirlwind surrounding the boiling seawater, forming into a little tornado .

If looking closely, in the center of the dark power was a group of God Power . It was calm and stable, not intense like the sea water and whirlwind . It didn’t even move but looked like it was deep asleep .

“Hi, are you Sarah Heim?” Sui Xiong tried to transfer thoughts to greet it .

When his thought touched the group of dark power, the center of that God power was somehow awakened . It shook several times and then transmitted a response .

It was a vague passage of thoughts which in general was

hello .
