After finishing the conversation with Louis, Eden returned to his team. Initially, 20 people accompanied him, but only ten people remained. This could be considered a significant loss for their skilled pirate crew. However, they knew they had to make even greater sacrifices to pursue what they wanted. One sailor exclaimed, "This is the first time I've seen real merfolks; they are truly beautiful!" The other sailors remained silent, deep in thought, clearly agreeing with the words of their fellow sailors. The sight was likely to be unforgettable for them. The nearly 2-meter-long tail shimmered under the sea, emitting a sparkling light that beautifully contrasted with the gray, wavy hair of the merfolks swimming gracefully. They appeared like angels flying in the sky. Yet, the power and fierceness they displayed were far from the angelic appearance they bore. They were sea devils! Thinking about the strength of the merfolks, the other sailors couldn't help but shudder. Howe
Everything flowed peacefully in a direction that the Cambri pirates never expected. The owner of this ship indeed led them to reunite with their fellow ships without any immediate retaliation. They truly didn't expect that there could still be people friendly to pirates like them. They could confirm with 100% certainty that the owner of this ship was indeed a newcomer who had just come down from the mainland to the sea. Eden was a pirate, but he wasn't heartless. He felt grateful to the person who had helped him. Before climbing up the ladder to return to his ship, Eden looked at Louis, expressing his gratitude, saying: "Thank you for helping me. As I said, if you ever encounter difficulties, feel free to find me." Pausing momentarily, Eden continued: "I also received an invitation from the Campbell family. Who knows, maybe we'll meet again then." Louis was genuinely surprised by Eden's enthusiasm. He smiled and replied, "Alright, let's meet again." Eden nodded firmly and then
Because the grand birthday party would only start in the evening, Louis didn't want to stay inside the room all day, so he and Ace went out. Ace pushed the wheelchair for Louis while complaining incessantly, "Isn't it better to stay indoors? Why do we have to go out on the streets..." Louis didn't know that Ace preferred staying indoors to this extent. He couldn't help but say, "When you can't go out, you complain about your muscles turning into water, and when you can go out, you want to stay indoors. So, what do you want?" Ace frowned, "Can't you stop twisting the truth? I said I want to fight, so let's fight! Not stroll around like this. What's so nice about the streets..." "There seems to be a large chocolate shop ahead." With just one sentence, Louis silenced all of Ace's complaints. Ace looked ahead and accelerated madly. Louis had to grab the handrail to avoid being suddenly stopped by him and falling forward. Louis didn't lie to silence Ace deliberately. A giant chocolat
"In the past, were merpeople truly the guardians of this place?" Louis asked.Benjamin, having seen that Louis had discovered so much, merely smiled.His soul danced in the air, and he looked at Louis, saying, "Follow me."Louis' soul followed Benjamin as they passed through ancient rooftops and flew over beautiful flocks of birds. The brilliant light shone upon them, making their souls glow amidst the world. Thousands of stars gathered within their souls.Finally, they stopped at a beach.This place was unlike any other beach. No tourists stopped to take pictures or groups of people returning from the sea. The beach was sealed off like a forbidden land, with banners everywhere saying, "Keep out!"Above the beach stood an enormous cliff jutting out into the sea, looking as though it could collapse at any moment. Perhaps only the Campbell family knew how often their bombing practice had caused this cliff to crumble.Louis looked at Benjamin and asked, "What is this place?"Benjamin smi
Louis picked up the phone, and Michael's warm voice immediately came through the receiver, "Where are you?"Louis hesitantly replied, "I'm on Campbell Island, preparing to attend Mr. Campbell's birthday. Is there something wrong?"Michael sounded uneasy as he spoke, "Olivia came to find me again, saying that the heir's position will be changed soon. I feel like she might have some scheme targeting you."Hearing this, Louis smiled and said, "I know. Thank you for reminding me. You should also take care of yourself."Michael responded, "I will do that."For some reason, Michael now felt that Olivia wouldn't harm him.Louis hung up the phone, and Benjamin, who was nearby, immediately asked, "What's going on? Is there something?"Louis couldn't help but glance at him. Not long ago, Benjamin said that only Leo liked to gossip. But now, he felt Benjamin was even more of a gossip-monger than Leo."It was Michael. He reminded me to be careful since we are cooperating," Louis said.Benjamin n
As soon as the three, Louis, Ace, and Leon, arrived at the hotel's entrance, they saw members of the Campbell family waiting for them there.Stepping down from the car was an elderly man who seemed to be a butler from his attire and appearance. As expected, the elderly man bowed and said, "Greetings, Mr. Louis. I am the butler of the Campbell family. I'm here to welcome you to the party. By the way, my master wants to express his deep apologies for not being able to receive you personally."Upon hearing the butler's words, Louis remained expressionless, his face still cold. He spoke softly, "I understand that Mr. Campbell must stay at the party to oversee everything. All right, let us go then."Ace immediately helped Louis onto the large and luxurious official car. The butler kept a faint smile on his lips as he followed closely behind them.The wheelchair swiftly moved, and today's streets even had a separate lane to welcome guests attending Mr. Campbell's 50th birthday party. Th
The entire estate was illuminated with lights, and soft, melodious music filled the air, pleasing the ears. Guests twirled and danced in the center of the ballroom while others gathered in groups, engrossed in lively conversations. Some preferred solitude, sitting alone in contemplation.Among those seeking tranquility was Louis, accompanied by a few other distinguished guests. Seated in his wheelchair, Louis was joined by Eden. Behind them, Ace frowned disapprovingly at Eden, finding his presence irksome.At that moment, the lights throughout the venue suddenly dimmed, and the music abruptly stopped. All eyes turned towards the grand stage, where the Master of Ceremonies (MC) announced with a bright smile, "Now, let us welcome the host of tonight's banquet, Mr. Campbell, to deliver his speech!"Mr. Campbell emerged from the wings amid the resounding applause of the guests. His face displayed a gentle, amiable smile that added a touch of warmth to his otherwise aging appearance.
Ace also temporarily set aside his suspicions about Louis' special abilities. He looked at Louis and said, "I find the people working in this mansion quite peculiar, in other words, very unpleasant."Louis couldn't help but think that it was natural. Most likely, the servants here were all puppets of Meister. It could be said that Ace had an exceptionally keen intuition. However, Louis didn't say this out loud. He reminded Ace, "Be cautious of all of them. They are not ordinary people."Ace's eyes turned cold and fierce as he looked toward the servants ahead. He almost gritted his teeth and said, "Don't worry, their heads will roll before they can do anything to you."Louis smiled, extremely satisfied with Ace's attitude and strong confidence. He dispelled the invisible barrier around him and Ace, then asked the butler, "Where does this path lead to?"The butler turned his head and smiled at Louis, saying, "We are passing through the area where we process fertilizer for the flowe
