Xia Fei did not know that Harris’s industrial ship was completely empty. In his eyes, Harris was just a regular smuggler—one who enjoyed wealth and respect.

“Follow me.”

Xia Fei turned around and walked toward the command deck with Harris’s navigation computer memory.

Harris carefully put the two sacks on the ground before hurriedly following in Xia Fei’s footsteps. The sacks contained normal rations, as well as some machine parts and plants, that did not appear valuable, which Xia Fei could not understand.

The Vexor battlecruiser was massive. Harris was completely taken away as he followed Xia Fei closely. Is he alone on his massive warship?

In the command deck, Xia Fei deftly connected the navigation command memory onto his computer.

“Starting system scan,” Xia Fei commanded the AI computer.

A few seconds later, the cold female voice replied, “Navigation memory is safe and can now be opened.”

Xia Fei replied plainly in his consciousness, “We’ll see; I can kill him using my mental energy whenever I want.”

It was an incredibly dangerous maneuver to stalk someone using mental energy. If the enemy’s mental energy was stronger than the one snooping, they might be drawn into an unstoppable mental vortex, consumed by the stronger mental energy that would ultimately cause their death.

A smart user would never simply spy on others using their mental ability unless they were confident in their abilities; evidently, Harris was not one.

What was most surprising was that the mental energy retreated after hovering around the room for a while. This confused even Xia Fei; why did he retreat despite being so close to his target?

Xia Fei got up, saying as he scratched his head. “Weird. What does he intend to do?”

“Who knows, but by the looks of it, he is interested in you but doesn’t bear any ill-intent.”

Xia Fei thought for a few moments. “We’ll talk about it later; he’s sure to reveal himself eventually.”

Early in the morning of the next day, Xia Fei arrived at the kitchen to see Harris already up.

“Mr. Xia Fei, here’s your breakfast.”

With a smile on his face, Harris brought him a plate of scrambled eggs and milk. There were a few pieces of thinly sliced ham beneath the egg as well as some lettuce next to it.

Xia Fei nodded. Not only did the breakfast Harris made taste good, it looked incredible, too. It was easy to tell that it was a breakfast fit for royalty. The eggs were just done as they melted in his mouth. The ham was sliced as thin as paper, demonstrating his excellent knife skills. The lettuce leaves were well-washed before having their stem removed, leaving behind only the green leaves.

This provided Xia Fei with even more questions on how a smuggler busy working for a living managed to make such an incredible breakfast. Thinking back on yesterday’s bass and mushroom the man had made that was also just as refined, for not a single piece of bone could be found in the dish. It was just that Xia Fei did not suspect Harris then, so it had not caught his attention.

After finishing his breakfast, Xia Fei casually asked as he lit a cigarette, “Your cooking is quite good; where did you learn it?”

Harris smiled as he put away the utensils Xia Fei used to be washed in the basin. “My mother used to be a private chef for a major family, so I’ve been learning how to cook from her ever since I was young. It’s great that you like it. I also noticed that there’s some asparagus in the fridge; I’ll make a beef asparagus braise for lunch.”

“Oh.” Xia Fei nodded without indicating anything.

The next night, Harris’s mental energy entered Xia Fei’s room again, and this time, Xia Fei was more mindful of it, pretending that he was just up training. A few hours later, Harris retreated his mental energy.

The third and fourth day went just the same, and in the blink of an eye, a week had passed. Because of the Tomahawk’s huge size, no pirates even dared to approach it, making the entire journey incredibly smooth.

“Are you going to show your cards?” asked Phantom.

Xia Fei smiled. “I’ll give him one last chance tonight; hopefully, he doesn’t disappoint.”

The dinner was just as exquisite as always, and he took his time to enjoy the meal. Because of how well he had been eating, Xia Fei even gained a bit of weight. Afterward, Xia Fei silently returned to his room, leaving Harris alone in the kitchen to tidy up.

“That’s unfortunate. It’ll probably be the last time that I enjoy such a wonderful meal,” Xia Fei muttered after closing his door.

It was a quarter to twelve, and Harris’s mental energy arrived right on cue.

What was most disappointing was that his mental energy retreated in less than five minutes, much quicker than the previous times.

Phantom sighed. “You have a killing intent in you. He must’ve felt that something was off and became more vigilant than usual. That would mean that he’s quite perceptive to detect such minute changes.”

Xia Fei hopped out of bed, proudly walking to Harris’s room. “I’ve given him the chances; no matter what his aim is, his time is up.”

In order to make it easier to keep an eye on him, Xia Fei had assigned Harris in a room right next to his, so they were not far apart at all.

His door was now ajar, revealing Harris who looked like a ghost as he eyed Xia Fei.

“You’ve noticed from the start?”

Xia Fei nodded, smiling. “I’ll give you two choices: One, I’ll throw you out right now. Second, tell me your motive, then I’ll throw you out.”

Harris thought for a few moments before laughing happily. Xia Fei was slightly shocked, clearly having not expected Harris to react as though he was unafraid of death.

“Xia Fei, you’ve taken Amethyst before, right?”
