Chapter 710 - Helen’s Warning
“What’s up? The danger’s gone, right?”
Helen was a bit startled by Angor’s voice.
“Sir-sir.” She tried to bow to show respect, but she then felt a gentle force stopping her. “It’s strange, sir. I mean, the sea is strange in these days.”
“Why? Isn’t it common for Devil’s Water to be so hazardous?”
“It’s not the weather…” Helen considered but didn’t find the right words to explain. “This may sound weird, but do you think the sea is being awfully quiet?”
“Quiet?” Angor listened to the blowing wind, clashing tides, and the ominous bubbles that suggested hidden turbulence below their position. “Can you elaborate?”
Helen shook her head. “I don’t know how to say this but… this route, I’ve taken it many times, and it used to be more ‘lively’. But now, it’s dead.”
Angor could only consider the obscure expression as Helen’s instinct. But still, he failed to understand.
“He-you mean, Mister Ro—”
Helen didn’t believe that Roman would harm the ship since he was an employee of the White Clam Association, while The Limpet was the association’s ship. Roman might be a bit bossy, but he had no reason to betray his company.
“That can’t be, sir. The incident between you and Mister Roman was one week ago when we had been traveling on this route for some time.”
“Do you think I’m accusing Roman because of that argument we had?”
“It’s-it’s not?” Helen thought this to be rude but still asked.
Angor shook his head. “I’m indeed displeased with Roman’s way, but I won’t do anything against him as long as he does not directly attack me. There are many people like him in the wizarding world. I don’t have time to worry about every one of them. I said Roman might have something to do with your ‘warning’ because of another possibility.”
He was almost sure that Roman stole the nightmare stone on the ship, probably to sell it for big money and buy something valuable.
However, Angor couldn’t understand why Roman was so confident in his plan.
Sooner or later, someone from Floating Mech City would notice that the precious nightmare stone was missing. How would Roman explain to them then?
In Angor’s view, Roman was an extremely suspicious figure who knew how to set up thorough plans. If that man wished to cover up what happened to The Limpet, combined with Helen’s warning…
