Chapter 604
The sea was calm.
The cruise ship was sailing normally following the previously set course, and the average speed
dropped from the previous 38 knots to 22 knots within the safe range. The regional systems and long-
range signals of the ship were normal. There was no abnormal weather in 1000 nautical miles and the
sky was clear.
“… Last night, Gary was just trying to scare you. Our trip this time is very safe. The outer shell of this
cruise ship was made of the toughest space material. It is waterproof and leak-proof.”
Charles stood on the deck enjoying the sea breeze. It was already 9 o’clock in the morning. He
survived the anxiety last night and was now more looking forward to arriving at their destination.
With a monocular in his right hand, he looked very relaxed as he appreciated the unique deep-sea
scenery. He smiled brightly and said to Chandler beside him, “Even if something really happens, there
are enough escape boats. We won’t die anyway.”
Hearing Charles’ words, Chandler hoped so.
Chandler was calmer and less optimistic about this matter, and he didn’t know what would happen after
they landed on the island..
“… Did Christina and the others also take a cruise ship to the island?”
After a night of fear, Crystal, who was by their side, looked at the clear sky now and felt relaxed.
According to Gary and other staff, they could see the islands at noon, and they could reach their
destination in 3 hours.
After breakfast, they came to the deck to enjoy the sea breeze. They looked at the endless sea and
blue sky, looking forward to witnessing the true face of the mysterious islands.
Crystal looked at the deep sea in front of her. The vast sea suddenly opened her mind. She could not
explain why she insisted on going with the ship. She knew that she was probably a burden to others
and could not help at all.
She didn’t do it for Christina. Maybe it was because she didn’t have any sense of belonging or concern
in her heart. Since she happened to meet such kind of strange thing that and she felt that her life was
too pale and ordinary, so she wanted to take an adventure. Moreover, she had to admit that she
secretly wanted to see if Chandler would accompany her.
Crystal could not tell whether she was happy or sad. She had sworn to break up with him, but she also
hoped that he would not abandon her, Such a contradictory mood had been bothering her,
Charles’s voice interrupted her thoughts, “They said that Christina and the others had arrived on the
island five days ago. They should have also taken the sea route, otherwise, their trip wouldn’t have
been so smooth..”
Before he could finish his sentence, they heard a sheer.
Charles and the others turned their heads and looked surprised. They saw Raphael, a slender man
with handsome features, wearing black trousers and a white shirt. He put his hands lazily in his trouser
pockets and walked towards the deck step by step…
“Derek?”
Crystal was still not used to his current style and called him by his old name.
Raphael’s blue eyes glanced at her. Although they were the same person, when he compressed his
lips into a smile, he looked more teasing and charming. And Derek would not have such a cynical
expression.
“They took a plane to the islands. It was a plane carrying military cargo. Mary took her away and forced
her into the islands…” Raphael spoke slowly in a cool and playful tone. novelbin
“That’s impossible.” Chandler looked serious and stood up to deny him, “You promised us that Christina
would get on the island smoothly. If she had taken a plane at that time, then…”
“Since Mary successfully escaped from the islands, she must also have a way to go back.” Raphael
paused, and the smile on his lips deepened, he implied, “As long as the plane did not deviate from its
original course and met no accident, there should not be too much problem for them.”
“What the hell do you want to say?”
Hearing his strange words, Charles became anxious. If it was not for the sake of Derek’s face, at this
moment, he would have punched Raphael.
Chandler heard some information from Raphael’s tone and guessed, “Had the plane Christina took
deviated from its original course?”
Raphael turned to look into the boundless deep sea and did not answer them. He sneered in a low
voice, “My little sister is so lucky.”
They met a storm in the air and the fuselage disintegrated, but she survived.
Raphael did not say these words to them, and he didn’t bother to say that.
He only agreed to answer one of Patrick’s questions, whether Christina was alive or dead now. He had
said that
she was alive
The cruise ship continued to sail in the deep sea. In order to ensure safety, its speed had gradually
slowed down. Patrick and Gary were standing in the control center of the cruise ship with high
magnification binoculars in their
hands, looking in the direction of Raphael and the others, who were on the deck.
“Mr. Hopkins, they seem to be talking about Junior Mrs. Hopkins.”
Gary wore a small bluetooth earphone on his right ear and clearly heard the conversation on the deck.
Before the cruise ship set off, it was equipped with a lot of new electronic settings. They were
distributed in all corners of the cruise ship in order to monitor Raphael.
Patrick stood straight in front of the large glass in the control center with his eyes darkened. He was
wearing Bluetooth earphones as well, so he also heard what Raphael had just said clearly.
At this time, the staff in the control center were doing their duties, and they did not dare to relax at all.
“Energy tank area check…”
“Normal.”
“Electronic communication reception…”
“Normal.”
“Satellite network, radar.”
“Normal.”
With serious and brief handovers, everyone was ready for the final sprint.
According to the map, at their current speed, they would be able to see their destination in less than an
hour. Gary, who was sitting in the captain’s seat, quickly scanned the data and smiled with satisfaction.
He could not help but heave a sigh of relief in his heart.
Gary looked up at Patrick and said, “Mr. Hopkins, it seems that this route is very safe.”
“… That man is on the same ship with us, unless he wants to die.” Crab, who was proofreading the
data besides them, said.
Patrick nodded at them, and everyone felt a little relieved. It seemed that this trip really went smoothly.
Thanked
god.
“… Call him to come up. I have something to ask him.” Patrick said to Monkey that he wanted Raphael,
who was on the deck to come to the control center immediately.
Monkey immediately went down to do what Patrick asked,
Patrick asked him to come to the control center room. Raphael was a little surprised because these
“hillbillies”
had always been guarding against him.
“Which island is Christina on now?” Patrick asked directly
Raphael raised his eyebrows slightly and replied in a casual tone, “I’ll lead you to find her.”
“Is she hurt?” Patrick continued to ask.
This time, Raphael looked straight at Patrick without saying anything.
Patrick’s expression became serlous and he requested, “I need to search for her as soon as we land
on the island…”
Rafael still looked nonchalant and said, “Why are you so worried? Even if Mary took her away, she
wouldn’t abuse Christina.”
“As I said, our priority will be searching for Christina!” Patrick interrupted Rafael in a cold voice and
repeated his words again.
Suddenly, Rafael’s expression became terrible as well. He was not used to being ordered.
“Raphael, you asked me to bring so many weapons. You’ve worked so hard to contact us. You
definitely need my help.” Patrick seemed to have seen through Raphael’s mind and said coldly, “I don’t
care what stone coffin or scepter you’re looking for. I must find Christina first. I want you to make sure
that she’s safe. Otherwise, everything is off the table.”
Patrick had an absolute advantage in negotiating with Raphael. He was in charge of everything on this
cruise ship, and Raphael alone couldn’t play any tricks.
Yet Raphael compressed his lips into a slight smile. He looked out the window into the distance and
suddenly said, “We’ll talk about it if you can survive.”
Ten nautical miles away, the sky churned up dark clouds. The clouds looked like black holes, engulfing
everything and expanding. The weather suddenly changed drastically…
