The narrow cabin lounge shaking violently under the surging waves. A lot of wet sea water seeped into the thick and tight wooden hull. The dim candlelight swayed and was on the verge of extinguishing at any time. In the sudden roar of thunder, the whole world seemed to have fallen into a brief silence.

"Do you think I didn't see what you were thinking about that little girl these days?"

In the corner of the cabin, Winnie's face turned slightly white, but it could not hide the thick sarcasm that caught the corner of her mouth.

"From every question you asked her, I heard the cry of greed and jealousy in the darkness of your heart, but you used your extremely hypocritical face to hide your **. In fact, do you really want to cut open her body and take out the supreme source of evil power in her body? But you dare not, because you are afraid, afraid of failure!"

Xia Lan didn't make a sound, but just looked at her quietly.

"Drank Xialan, do you remember that I told you that you are sick?" Winnie chuckled, her laughter chilling. "Because I have the same disease as you, but I deal with this disease very well, but you don't... In fact, in my eyes, you are just a foolish idiot. You will always use your shallow wisdom and violence to deal with everything, don't know how to disguise yourself, don't know how to hide yourself, don't know how to use the resources you have mastered... The most important thing is that even if you turn into darkness, you still retain the weak human nature that yearns for light in your heart! Ridiculous! It's so ridiculous..."

Xia Lan stared into Winnie's eyes, and somehow there were invisible black lines spreading.

"Are you finished?"

His voice was extremely dull, without any emotional confusion.

"Of course not!" Winnie stopped laughing, her face gradually became colder. "Drank Xialan. Although you have finally abandoned that human nature, you no longer have any credit. If I guess correctly, you will definitely kill me after using my value, right?"

"Yes." Xia Lan nodded calmly and admitted. "But this is also a chance I give you."

"Do you kill your chance before you squeeze my value out? Haha... I don't think I can seize this opportunity in front of you who are completely inhumane!" Winnie laughed at herself.

"At least you can take this opportunity to live for a while." Xia Lan said.

"I hope you won't regret today's decision." Winnie looked at him meaningfully.

Xia Lan raised her hand and waved her lightly. An invisible air blade instantly cut off the tightly bound white cloth on Winnie's body, completely lifting her confinement.

Winnie moved her body and tried to stand up. Unfortunately, her body was weak and weak under the long-term restraint and the shaking and bumping of the sea boat in the storm made it difficult for her to support her body. After trying a few times, she simply gave up.

"I have a question. Are you not afraid that I will tell the girl your conspiracy quietly?" Winnie stretched out her body and lay on the deck of the room. She tried her best to relax and regulate her body.

"Do you think she will believe what you said?" Xia Lan asked back.

"Yes, that girl has already deeply rooted in love with you. You are the only one in the whole world. She will not pay attention to others' sow discord, and it may even arouse her anger." Winnie said sarcastically: "What's ridiculous is that her lover is always thinking about seizing the power in her body. She is such a sad and pitiful child."

"Is there any difference between you and her now?" Xia Lan said lightly.

"At least I entrust myself to someone who truly loves me." Winnie's expression turned cold, and her eyes staring at Xia Lan were filled with cold light.

"I was not the one who really killed Herbert, although his death did have something to do with me." Xia Lan said.

"Is it meaningful to say this now?" Winnie said.

"No." Xia Lan said: "I just want to tell you a fact. If you really want revenge, I'm not the only one."

"Of course I understand that the culprit who killed Herbert is subverted Fang. But who is more likely to vent my anger than you or subverted Fang?" Winnie sneered: "If I can't even kill you, how can I face the more vicious subverted Fang?"

"So I'm just a stepping stone on your road to revenge." Xia Lan said calmly.

"Do you understand now?" Winnie sneered.

"Just confirm the guess." Xia Lan said disapprovingly: "She is coming back. You can adapt to the situation yourself."

"Is that true?" A smile appeared on Winnie's face, and she said, "But can't she hear the conversation between us? I remember that her abilities are far above you!"

"Don't worry, she will only exert her power when she encounters danger and battles. Other times, she is like an ordinary person, or she is deliberately restraining herself because she does not agree with her transformed into an evil self in her potential consciousness." Xia Lan said: "Besides, I have isolated the outside world with my perception in this room. Once there is a slight invasion, I will stop and talk immediately."

"Tsk tsk, it seems that your vigilance has become even more serious." Winnie exclaimed.

Xia Lan ignored Winnie and turned his head to look at the wooden door, because in his perception, Adelina who was about to arrive outside the door had detected in his perception.

Dongdongdongdongdong-

As the wooden door knocked and pushed open, Adrina was stunned for a moment when she saw the situation in the room.

"Adrena, how did Magnison handle things?"

Before she could speak in the dark, Xia Lan asked first.

"I have detained him to other safe and dry cabins, but his physical condition is a bit bad, and his whole body is so hot..." Adelina said, but her eyes occasionally glanced at Winnie lying in the corner.

"I understand. I will go to see him later if I have time." Xia Lan nodded and explained Winnie's affairs roughly. "Winnie is already awake, so there is no need to tie her up again."

"But...what if she suddenly kills you again?" Adelina said with anxiety as she looked at Winnie.

"Miss Adrina, you seem to be too arrogant to me, or rather, you have underestimated the strength of Your Excellency Xia Lan. Just by what I want to assassinate him, it will probably be difficult to achieve in my life." Winnie, who was lying on the ground, looked at the other party with a chuckling. "Besides, after I woke up, I realized that I had blamed Mr. Xia Lan, so you don't have to worry that I will avenge him again."

"Really?" Adelina said suspiciously. She had seen the crazy look of the other party wanting to kill Mr. Xia Lan, so it was difficult to believe her one-sided words.

"Yes, Winnie and I have resolved the misunderstanding through conversations." Xia Lan said at the right time.

"...Since Mr. Xia Lan said this, Miss Winnie, please forgive me for my rude offense just now." Adelina pouted after hearing this.

"Haha, it's okay, Miss Adrina, please take care of you in the future." Winnie smiled as if she was not caring.

Out of a woman's intuition, Adrina always felt uncomfortable with Winnie's words, as if there was something strange in it. However, because Mr. Xia Lan was by her side, she couldn't destroy the friendly atmosphere in front of her.

Women are inherently hostile to women, but women will hide this very well. Even if you know that they are talking bad things behind their backs, at least on the surface, they still get along with each other as usual.

Few women can completely trust another woman, especially beautiful women. This situation is more obvious, not to mention that the woman in front of them has followed their beloved man.

...

The long storm passed, and the dazzling sunlight hung high again in the blue sky. The deck of the Oak was busy. Some crew members were cleaning the deck, some were manipulating the sails, and some were confirming the course. The lively scene of each performing its own duties did not last long, because Prous walked out of the cabin with a heavy face and was preparing to announce a major event.

"Everyone, according to the employer's request, our course will change."

For a moment, the crew members on the deck gathered in front of Prous and whispered, and there were many impatient crew members asking loudly.

"Captain, where is the destination of the new course?"

"This is exactly what I want to say." Prous said in a deep voice: "Everyone, hear it clearly. This time our new course is sure to be in Monteres."

"Monteres?!"

Suddenly, some of the crew members screamed as if they were in a panic.

"Captain! You're not mistaken, are you?! That's Monteres! The famous pirate capital of the West Coast continent!"

"What? Pirate City? It sounds terrible!"

"I haven't been to the West Coast! Where is Monteres so fussy?"

Many of the crew members had been to the West Coast continent, but most of them were a little ignorant. After the other crew members explained it in an invigorating manner, they knew what kind of place Monterres was. They immediately placed Monterres into the forbidden area of ​​navigation and started to make a fuss.

"Captain! Are you too brave?"

"Yes Captain! How dare you agree to such a dangerous life?"

“…”

Prous didn't make a sound, just listened quietly to the noise of the crew. He spoke until they calmed down, "Everyone, I understand your fear of going to Monterrez. I also have this feeling, but... compared to Monterrez, do you think it is dangerous there or the employer on the ship? If the employer's request is rejected, what do you think he will deal with us?"

"Can he dare to kill all of us?" a crew member said angrily.

"Yes, if you refuse to go to Monteres, I will indeed kill you all."
