Chapter 210: Suspect

Seeing signs that everyone aboard the Golden Dream was about to focus fire on Anderson, Klein took a step forward and stood sideways toward Danitz.

“Take me to the captain’s cabin.”

“…All right.” Danitz withdrew his glare from Anderson Hood.

Saving the Captain comes first. Saving the Captain comes first… he repeatedly warned himself inwardly.

The Golden Dream first lowered a small boat, then let down a rope ladder, allowing Klein to set foot on the deck easily and simply without needing to use a charm’s power.

Anderson followed diagonally behind him, completely ignoring the hungry, murderous looks from every crew member aboard the Golden Dream. A smile lingered at the corners of his mouth as he strolled along and examined the surroundings, looking as if he had returned home.

His mental quality is absolutely first-rate… Mm, even after offending a demigod, being forced to apologize publicly, and accepting a commission, he could turn around and laugh at himself while enjoying his meal happily… Klein sighed inwardly twice as he walked toward Third Mate Jodeson and the others.

“Greetings, Mr. Sparrow. I am this ship’s first mate, Bru Walls.” A man wearing a monocle, nearly 1.8 meters tall, politely bowed.

The “Gourmet” with a bounty of 6,200 pounds… Vice Admiral Iceberg’s pirate crew has bounty levels clearly lower than Admiral of Stars’. As expected of treasure hunters who are only part-time pirates… Klein used Gehrman Sparrow’s distinctive polite attitude and phrasing as he said, “Greetings. I have heard of you.”

“…Haha, that is my honor. I am only a treasure hunter who dreamed of becoming an artisan, yet had no choice but to walk the path of a Gourmet.” Bru Walls mocked himself, then pointed toward a man beside him. “Our second mate, ‘Singer’ Orpheus.”

A bounty of 5,500 pounds… The Beyonders aboard the Golden Dream all have strange epithets. If I didn’t know beforehand that they were subordinates of a pirate admiral, I’d definitely think they were a sea-tour group: singing songs, eating fine food, holding bonfire parties, and searching for legendary treasures. It would sound almost too lovely… Klein cast his gaze toward Orpheus and casually nodded.

This “Singer” had features as sharply defined as a stone sculpture and brilliant golden hair. At that moment, with a melancholy smile, he said, “In truth, I am only praising the Sun. And now, my sun has vanished.”

…Klein nearly got goosebumps all over.

“Tsk. As expected of an Intisian. Even talking sounds like singing. What a pity. I grew up in Segar and Lenburg, so I failed to learn that ability.” Beside them, Anderson said with an unclear mix of praise and mockery. After all, half of his bloodline was Intisian.

Born in Segar, then went to Lenburg to study. Mm, likely a Church school, and he was schoolmates with Vice Admiral Iceberg Edwina… Mr. Orpheus can be confirmed as someone from the Sun pathway, but most likely not from the Church of the Eternal Blazing Sun. Judging from his bounty, he should be a Sequence 6 Notary… I nearly forgot. I need to tell Little Sun that his formula has already been obtained. I wonder what he can exchange for it this time… Before Gourmet Bru Walls could continue the introductions, Klein turned his head toward Flower Bow Tie Jodeson, Barrel Daniels, and the others.

“We have met.

“Do not waste time.”

“All right.” Bru Walls let out a breath and stroked his short beard, taking the lead toward the cabin.

If not for Gehrman Sparrow’s mad reputation being very well-known aboard the ship, he would not have wanted to act so polite either.

At that moment, Anderson deliberately fell back a few steps, walking beside Danitz, Orpheus, and the others.

He looked left and right, completely unconcerned by the way Danitz and the others wanted to tear him apart and swallow him. Clicking his tongue, he smiled.

“The one you should be wary of isn’t me.”

“That’s right. We’re not wary of you. We only want to stuff you into—see…
