Black Sail
Chapter 373: Ⅷ. One Day

Chapter 373: Ⅷ. One Day

Inside the wardrobe of the spare bedroom, due to the climatic conditions on the island, the sea breeze was humid. Custom-made wardrobes all had air holes to prevent the growth of mold.

The spare bedroom didn’t hang any clothes, but the space was still quite narrow and cramped.

Through the little light that seeped in through the air holes, the two people inside could still see each other.

To prevent her from making noise, Dreya covered her mouth with one hand.

April was already at the end of spring, and summer was imminent; the temperature had begun to slowly rise, and in such a confined space, it inevitably felt a bit stuffy and hot.

Meanwhile, there was a significant commotion outside.

As a member of the Blood Clan, Dreya had incredible powers of perception. She never expected that Celeste’s attire and her personal history would be in such stark contrast, but the rich scent of the blood could not be mistaken.

She extended her two Vampire fangs, this perfect scenario just right for a feast on the carotid artery.

Celeste sensed the presence of the Undead Clan. Who could have thought that Liszt’s wife was a Vampire? This couldn’t go on; she was about to unleash her martial skills to break free from the clutches of this mad woman.

Just as she was preparing to fight back,

The noise outside abruptly stopped.

"Someone’s coming..."

Goria hurriedly called out to stop Meredith.

"Who doesn’t have eyes?"

Meredith stood up.

Outside the door.

Mo Yutong found it odd; Liszt was clearly outside, yet his office door was locked from the inside.

Liszt would arrive later; he was stopped by a servant on the way to handle some matters and said he would come over in a few minutes.

Although his office didn’t contain anything important, there were some documents that provided insight into the internal structure; if someone with ulterior motives was inside, they could obtain some information about Black Sail.

Mo Yutong realized she had to get in and see who was playing games.

Having spent some time in the Cult, Mo Yutong also learned some tricks. Although not as skilled as professionals like Swan and Ben, she could handle an ancient lock with ease.

Removing a hairpin, she inserted its sharp end into the keyhole, listening to identify the positions of the latches.

Goria was already frantic, cursively looking at Meredith with embarrassment as her face blushed beet red.

If Liszt found out she and Meredith were amusing themselves in his office, that would be mortifying. She had been mocking pirates for being as vulgar as beasts every day, and now she was truly socially dead.

Meredith was ruthless. Even though the door lock was turning, she wasn’t restless, considering her options. Being on the third floor, it wouldn’t be a big problem for them to jump, given their Heroic Level adventurer capabilities.

But there were many maids and gardeners constantly cleaning the garden courtyard outside. If they saw the two of them jumping down, it would be equivalent to outing themselves.

"Liszt really knows how to enjoy himself, having a spare bedroom here. Let’s hide in there first,"

Meredith said, pulling Goria’s hand calmly.

"But this isn’t right..."

Goria was full of regret; she had already told Little Mei they could have just gone back to her own room instead of ending up in this embarrassing situation.

"It’s fine, let’s hide first,"

Meredith said, pulling her into the spare bedroom. They checked under the bed—the bed frame had no supportive solid legs. Damn pirates, what was the need for such a high-end bed?

Then there was only one option left.

Meredith opened the wardrobe door, and his jaw nearly dropped to the floor.

Goria was also in disbelief. It turned out Dreya had also arrived here early, and who was this unfamiliar woman?

Dreya was not one to turn away newcomers, beckoning both women to hide inside as well.

By this time, Mo Yutong had completely picked the lock.

There was no time for idle talk. Goria and Meredith also hurriedly hid inside the wardrobe, then gently closed the wardrobe door.

That excessively strange atmosphere, Goria and Meredith looking at Celeste in her skin-tight bodysuit, even being rough adventurers, had never seen such an array.

Now it really was the investigator among investigators.

Though the wardrobe was silent, something extremely terrifying was happening inside.

Mo Yutong entered the office, and weirdly, she couldn’t find a single person. It was eerily quiet, truly strange.

At this moment, the sound of conversation also came from the corridor.

"It’s good that everything is safe. It was a very wise choice for Taylor to have you go out for shelter. Just looking at the state of the outer city, one can tell how badly it was fought. Where did you all travel to? Dreya, she didn’t bully you, did she?"

The errand Liszt ran was not anything important; it was just that Tani had also come back with Dreya and the others, to give her a welcome back, as they were old flames, and he also brought him to tour the castle.

"Of course not, everything was fine. You’re now even more formidable than Taylor, living in such a big place."

Tani said so. Around here, directly addressing elders by name wasn’t taboo. Using formal titles in informal situations seemed overly solemn.

Mo Yutong smiled knowingly; she knew Tani was different from the others, truly in love with Liszt.

Comparing Liszt and Mo Yutong’s classmates they had met in Aran, Mo Yutong also liked him, but it was far from love. If it had to be called love, it was only for the "Emperor of Rome."

Mo Yutong decided to give the two some privacy and not interfere. She went to the spare bedroom, planning to hide in the wardrobe.

But it was already somewhat overcrowded in there and a bit cramped.

Mo Yutong couldn’t believe it. What was going on?

Too frightening, right?

"Another one has come..."

Celeste noticed Mo Yutong’s scalp-tingling gaze, but her mouth was blocked as she struggled to speak.

Having grown up in North America, Mo Yutong naturally adapted to her surroundings.

Inside the wardrobe of the remote castle in the East Sea Heavenly Kingdom Port, where no detector could find her, was precisely where Celeste was.

"That’s odd, where did Mo Yutong go?"

Liszt entered the office, with no particular thoughts on his mind, just that Tani had arrived, and it wasn’t a good time. Speaking of which, those women had been gone so long, something serious must have happened. It was now time to ask about proper affairs, to inquire about Tani and the others’ experiences on the Western Continent.

However...

Click, the door was locked by Tani from the inside.

Chestnut-brown wavy curls, tastefully dressed Tani closed the door, staring straight at Liszt.

Liszt was speechless—come on, big sister.

"Just wait a moment..."

Liszt had the habit of smoking, but there was a strange smell in the room, not only Dreya’s favorite perfume but also the familiar scent of some other woman.

Plus, what was with the sweat-dampened marks on the desk?

"I’ve already applied for an access card for you. I say it like this, but do you know how I’ve been these past five years..."

Finally, the time had come.

There was no crisis at Heaven Port, peace had descended, and Taylor couldn’t stop her. Tani was a reserve member of the Tower Alliance, likely to be called up before August to return to the Western Continent. Before that, they had to have a proper reunion.

"Access... card?"

Liszt was immensely shocked.

He didn’t have time to ponder the marks on the desk.

Tani had already taken off her coat, kicked off her boots, wearing only a white high-necked knit sweater.
