Chapter 206: It Never Came

After getting onto the deck, entering the cabin, and finding their room, Klein was just about to speak when Anderson Hood preempted him.

“Something’s not right… If I were a passenger on this ship and saw an adventurer who had just offended the Undying King board the same ship, I’d definitely be scared and nervous. I’d either find the captain or first mate to persuade you to change ships, or I’d switch ships myself. But look—they’re all very calm.”

This fellow is very sharp. When it comes to certain details, he has remarkable insight… Is this what a true Conspirer is like? Usually he laughs and jokes, his mouth is cheap, and he seems optimistic, but in reality, he silently grasps the situation and completes preparations… Klein opened the room door with the key while considering whether this ship truly had a problem.

At that moment, Anderson raised his hand and lightly slapped his own face. He gave a dry laugh.

“I understand the reason!

“The time gap is too short. The matter has only spread among some adventurers and pirates. Ordinary passengers and the sailors aboard this ship have no idea about it at all. Also, anyone who clearly knows your appearance is bound to be well-informed, not an ordinary person.”

Oh, you’ve learned to ask and answer yourself… Do you know that time is life? Klein inwardly mocked twice and entered the first-class cabin.

It was not that he wanted to live comfortably. Rather, he had taken into account that he had to keep an eye on Anderson Hood and prevent the unluckiest Hunter’s misfortune from bringing disaster upon the passenger liner. That was why he had asked the other man to book first-class.

Carrying his suitcase, Klein walked to the door of the master bedroom. Pointing toward the guest room and servants’ room, he said to Anderson, “Pick one yourself.”

Anderson froze for two seconds, his mouth half-open.

“You seem very practiced at this…”

Of course. I have rich experience getting along with Hunters. If Danitz were here, I’d directly assign him the servants’ room… Klein made no response and entered the master bedroom.

At 1:30, the steam whistle blew, and the passenger liner departed on time.

After hanging up his outer coat, Klein, wearing only trousers, a shirt, and a waistcoat, left the master bedroom and came to the living room. He gazed at the horizon outside the window.

Azure waves undulated there, spreading inch by inch along the outline of Toscarter Island, rising and falling in the wind.

“This way, you can’t observe the whole situation.” Anderson moved over and said with a smile, “You can only confirm one side, while the Death Knell might come from the other side, or from the front. The best method is still to climb up to the lookout. Haha, there’s definitely a sailor there, but for an experienced Hunter or pirate, there are a hundred ways to deceive his senses!”

Klein turned and looked at Anderson Hood without expression.

“You are quite right.

“I’ll leave that matter to you.”

“Huh?” Anderson looked blank.

He immediately recovered and asked in surprise, “You have no other method to observe?”

Without a way to observe, how exactly is he setting a trap for the Undying King?

“No,” Klein said, nodding with extraordinary frankness. “I can only rely on you.”

…Just who gave you the courage to dare leave under the Undying King’s gaze? For a moment, Anderson was actually speechless.

While muttering, “Don’t stop me. I’m going to jump ship,” he left the cabin and headed straight for the area below the lookout.

In theory, the Undying King Agalito—or rather, the Death Knell—should already have detected my malice and sensed the danger originating from me. In that case, will they come attack? Will they believe I’m only at the level I’ve displayed, with no real helpers? Or will they suspect that some powerful person capable of interfering with danger premonition has stepped in? Klein drew his gaze back from the doorway and once again looked toward the sea…
