Chapter 206
“You have to trust me, Mr. Mora—I would never dare to cross you. I honestly believe that it’s a
gemstone, and just look at how mystical it is: it would definitely fetch millions even if it wasn’t a gem,“
David exined through grinding teeth. “I salvaged it from a German shipwreck that was marked with
the Nazis’ emblem, and you should know the treasures they have. Moreover, it was locked in a safe—
why would it be protected so well if it’s worth nothing? Mr. Mora, I swear that something valuable must
be inside.“
“Oh, my poor David —I’m just not interested in your explorer’s crap. All I care about is whether this
thing could get me more weed and heroin, but now I’m starting to think you and your paltry tricks are
costing us too much.“
Mora mmed his hand furiously on the table then, and a man beside them immediately seized David
by the stump that was once his wrist, prompting a scream from David. I felt my body turn numb and
couldn’t help turning away, even as I told myself that this wasn’t good.
We had no idea that the items we salvaged off the Arctic Ocean did not please the Moras, since I had
no idea whatpensation they were demanding.
Moreover, that was supposed to be half a year’s worth of ie—even if I didn’t mind giving up m y
share to help David, it was uncertain for others,
because we were all desperate fugitives whose only lifeline was money.
At the same time, Luna had begun to panic again. Covering her ears, she murmured feebly, “It’s over,
it’s over… We somehow got on the wrong side of the mafia, we’re so dead…“
“Luna, go back to the boat and tell the others to bring as much valuables as they can, alright? I’m
staying here—I’ll keep an eye on the situation to act ordingly, “ I whispered into Luna’s ear, and she
nodded.
Still, just as she was about to leave, I heard amotion from the direction of the gambling tables on
the first floor, converging towards this room. Soon, a door knock could be heard.
“Mr. Mora? The godmother has arrived.“ “F*ck! Why would that bitche here?! “
Mora’s expression turned from ferocity to fluster, and even before he could receive his visitor, the door
was brusquely shoved open, and in came a blonde woman of stunning, noble looks. She was the
godmother known as Miya, dressed in a ck coat embroidered with golden threads that yed up her
imposing presence, and the sound of her heels clicking against the floor sent chills up the spine of
anyone who heard it. Reaching Mora in a few steps, she promptly whipped up a dagger and held it
against Mora’s head.
“Mora, darling —who afforded you the bravery to cut deals behind my back?“ Her icy voice shows no
emotion even as she spoke. “That thing over there is much more valuable than the gemstones you
crave, and apany from Germany has already reserved it from me and I can’t wait to buy it off that
gentleman. You, on the other hand, decided that it was better to hack his hand off and destroy it.”
Even before she finished, her hands moved viciously and stabbed the silver dagger over the back of
Mora’s hand. For a split second, Mora screamed even more horrifically than David, but even before I
could breathe a sigh of relief from the turn of events, I was taken aback by the sight of another figure
slowly entering the room.
The figure wore a ck mask that covered his bewitching gaze, and his long ck hair was tied behind
his tail. He was taller than everyone else present, and I judged him to be almost two meters tall from
how his head almost reached the top of the doorframe. The burly mafia members around him were
dwarfed by his presence, and everyone around him couldn’t help staring at him as his presence
screamed danger.
As for me, I couldn’t resist staring at his lower body, as if to find out from his ck trench coat if it was a
pair of legs or a fishtail there. If those weren’t legs, would he really be able to hide his giant tail?
I had no idea how Dicken had altered himself to look like a human, but I knew that he hade for the
crystals which contained his bloodline—those were his children, after all.
Aside from the one which was broken, the others must be in that woman’s possession. That must be
why he had assumed another identity to get close to that woman, and I finally had an exnation for
his weird behavior and why he had shown up here.
That being said, retrieving the crystals won’ t be easy—I could tell that the Germanpany which the
woman spoke of was the same organization which consisted of Laura and Gary. Whether they had sea
back then, the Nazis would never abandon their grand n over the fate of tworades, and must
have been keeping a close, discreet eye on how things developed.
Suddenly, Luna eximed in shock, ”Isn’t that huge man the elite assassin serving Miya? He’s said to
have albinism, and I think his name is Loyal.”
What? Assassin? !
Was that the identity Dicken had assumed after integrating into human society? It was indeed a fitting
identity which made hiding his whereabouts easy, since assassins were as mysterious as they were

unfathomable. ”I heard that he’s Miya’s lover too? Now that I see him, I guess he really could pin her
down, ” Luna added just then.
