Chapter 329: Cries For Help

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“My dear beautiful ladies, our young master invites you to our ship. Please come with me.”

An elegant old man in a tuxedo spread his combat aura wings on his back and had flown easily from their ship to Watson and the others. He reached his hand out toward Nightingale and Denise.

“Invite us?”

“Who’s your young master?”

Nightingale and Denise frowned. The old man was dressed as a butler; he seemed to be a gold-tier warrior. He released some pressure in front of them unscrupulously as if he wanted to threaten them. However, the gold-tier pressure was nothing to them. They did not feel anything at all. However, they were disgusted with the other party.

“Our young master is—”

The old man seemed to be a little surprised. Why were those two women still unmoved in the presence of an elite like him? Just as he was about to explain, a young man with light yellow hair popped out of the large ship docked behind him. The young man was in a gorgeous blue robe. The cuffs of the robe and its hem were decorated with a pendant in the shape of a water droplet. With one look, one could tell that it was high-quality jade.

“Hey, Beauties. It looks like you’ve arrived in the Floating City of Stanley from somewhere else.

Let me introduce myself. My name is Casey Ptolemy. As the city’s owner, I sincerely invite you to come onto my ship and taste some fine wine with me. At the same time, I will give you a proper introduction to the city. What do you think?”

“Oh, no! Those two beauties have caught Casey’s eye.”

“The Ptolemy family’s Second Young Master likes to play with women. Furthermore, he has some special fetishes. Very few women could survive his boat. Even if they did, they would have still suffered some kind of physical injury! He has his family’s backing, so no one dared to do anything to him. It seems that those two young ladies will also face the same fate. What a pity! Those two young ladies are gorgeous.”

They could hear faint discussions from the nearby ships; everyone looked at Casey with a strange expression.

“That so-called Young Master is a b*stard who likes to toy with girls.”

“Miss, our young master is sincere in his invitation. If you refuse, it means that you don’t respect him, which means you are disrespecting the Ptolemy family. This is the Floating City of Stanley. If you offend the Ptolemy family, it will be difficult for you to walk out of that gate. Are you sure you don’t want to reconsider?”

The old man’s aura grew stronger, and his voice gradually became low.

The sea shifted in time with the old man’s words, creating tremendous waves several meters high that threatened to capsize Watson’s boat at any minute.

“Paul, don’t be disrespectful to my guests.”

Casey had unknowingly walked down the stairs that hung from the big ship. The four girls behind him quickly caught up and laid a red carpet under Casey’s feet, allowing him to step on the red carpet steadily. Then, they reached Watson’s ship.

“Everyone, I sincerely invite you to board my ship. There aren’t many people that I can invite onto my ship in the entire city. You should feel proud! Have you seen the wine glass in my hand?”

Casey shook the goblet in his hand—scarlet wine swirled in it. “This is a high-tier 12-year-old wine from the kingdom’s Raphael Winery. There are also some delicious snacks on my ship. Looking at your travel-worn appearance, you must have been exhausted. You probably have not eaten for the entire morning either. Let me do my part as a host and bring you something good to eat. How about that? Especially since you have a child on board. I’m a kind-hearted person, and I don’t like to see children suffering.”

Nightingale and Denise did not speak but secretly clenched their fists and looked at Watson.

That noble young master in front of them was too reckless. He had dared to speak to Watson like that. If he knew Watson’s true strength, he would probably be so scared that he would wet his pants. They were waiting for Watson’s order, and as soon as he gave it, they would immediately push the annoying man into the water.

“You are too kind. Sister Nightingale, Sister Denise, let’s go to his ship.”

Watson turned around with a shy expression and smiled.

“If that is what you wish, Young Master Watson.”

Denise and Nightingale unclenched their fists. They chose to cooperate since they knew Watson only pretended to be young; he did not want to expose his real strength. After all, they were all platinum and diamond-tier elites. Casey would be the unlucky one in such circumstances, no matter what he did.

Casey’s eyes fluttered when he saw Watson’s cooperation. He stroked the young man’s head. “He is such a good kid. Let’s not waste time, then. Let’s go!”

Casey turned around and stretched his hand outward. A young girl handed him a handkerchief and wiped his hands. Her eyes were filled with pity as she looked at Watson and the others.

Watson narrowed his eyes when he saw Casey’s actions. However, he pretended nothing had happened and brought the three people beside him onto the ship. Their own ship was stopped at the side.

“Oh, no! Those foreigners don’t know about Casey’s reputation. They dared to go up to him.”

“I hope that Casey will be merciful this time and let them go.”

After Casey left, the people on the surrounding ships shook their heads. The discussion had become louder, and their words were filled with an unbearable tone.

….

On the ship.

“Take the child and the man to a room in the middle of the ship, give him some fruits and snacks! As for those two ladies, give them a bath and change their clothes first, then bring them to my room later.”

After they were on the ship, Casey no longer maintained his pleasant expression. Instead, he appeared a little impatient. After he swept his eyes over Nightingale and Denise greedily, he licked his lips and returned to the cabin with a smile.

“Ladies, please follow me.”

A young girl gestured to the young women.

“Young Master Watson, wait for us—”

“You can do whatever you want later. Just don’t kill him! After all, he’s a member of the Ptolemy family. A young master’s death could cause too much sensation.” Watson’s face was beaming with a brilliant smile, but his words made people shudder.

The Ptolemy family’s second young master had dared to attack his family members, which offended him. It was already merciful of him not to kill him on the spot. As long as they did not kill him, he did not care about anything else.

“Master, let’s take a walk on the ship.”

He had said those words in a low voice, so the servants who took Nightingale and Denise could not hear him. Then, the old man appeared again. He said, “Let me take you around the ship.

“This ship is a magical ship produced by the Ptolemy family. It is gold-tier. It has a magical protective shield and also six wings. Usually, those wings are hidden at the bottom of the ship. When there is a storm, the wings will extend outward and turn into bird-like wings, allowing the ship to fly freely in the air—”

“Master, if we want to avoid the storm, don’t you think it’s not safe to grow wings and fly in the sky? Since there are still storms and lightning in the sky, we might as well draw a layer of diving magic on the hull to allow it to sail underwater.”

His Einherjar’s body had a lot of knowledge, and it included information about shipbuilding. So, Watson had asked that after he heard the old man’s explanation.

“Watson, your idea is not bad. Letting the ship go underwater is something that no shipbuilding family has ever thought of! However, there is a problem. How do you ensure that the ship will not leak when it is submerged?? Furthermore, there will be all kinds of aquatic monsters underwater.”

“We can strengthen the hull, such as using steel and other things.”

Watson did not know how to use the information in the Einherjar’s body, but he knew of something similar in his previous life—a submarine.

“Hey, you two—”

The old man’s mouth was dry as he explained to them. He had wanted to see Watson and Watson’s surprised and amazed gazes, but he realized that they did not listen to him. He was a little angry.

“Go ahead, we’re listening,” Watson replied casually. The old man cleared his throat. “This ship is a magical ship produced by the Ptolemy family. It is gold-tier. It has a magical protective shield and also six wings.”

“Master, you said that you brought me to the floating city for the next trial, but I don’t feel like there’s anything here that can increase my strength?”

“That’s where you’re wrong. You should know that the floating city can sit on the surface of the water without any source of magic power. Do you know why? Because the floating city has one of the best platinum-tier tools in the kingdoms. It’s called the Sea God’s Trident. It was rumored to be from ancient times, and it has the power to control the sea, including its creatures. The next trial has something to do with that; I’ll tell you the details when the time comes.”

“Hey, you two! Are you listening to me?”

Veins appeared on the old man’s forehead. Watson kept saying that he wanted him to continue, but he was not clearly not listening.

“Sorry, I was distracted. Why don’t you tell us again what happened to that ship?”

‘Are they still talking? F*ck them!’

The old butler was so angry that his white beard fluttered in the wind. He turned around and left. “The two of you can continue to chat here. I’ll go prepare some snacks for you.”

Even though he was polite, the old man had already thought of Watson and Antonio as two dead people. Young Master Casey would trample those two idiots soon, and they were still chatting leisurely about underwater ships. What a joke! After the young master had enjoyed those two girls, he would kill those two idiots and throw them into the lake.

When the old man left, Watson’s expression changed from innocence to calmness. He said, “Master, I heard a faint cry for help coming from the bottom of the ship. It seems that someone is being held there! Please keep an eye out for me. I’ll go down and take a look.”

He boarded the ship because he did not want to expose his strength and because he heard someone screaming for help. However, the cry for help was too faint for him to hear clearly, even with his strength. To be safe, he decided to go there and take a look.
