Chapter 2890

While reeling in his fishing line, Nathan said tly, "I reckon this is the legendary Ghost Ship. ording to the information we have, the Ghost Ship would moor at Lady Freedom Harbor for six hours to resupply. After that, the ship will leave the harbor quietly at dawn tomorrow. As such, our time is very limited. We must sneak into the Ghost Ship within these six hours and rescue Master, Hermes, and the others before escaping."
Colin, Kraven, and Kerry answered in unison, "Understood!"
Soon, the huge old-style warship slowly came ashore. A group of mysterious-looking men in ck appeared and surrounded the ship. It was obvious they were from Ariarica''s secret service, tasked with protecting the Ghost Ship and preventing anyone froming near it.
After the Ghost Ship docked, many crew members, soldiers, and various staff members came down from the ship one after another, talking andughing among themselves.
It turned out that the Ghost Ship would only dock for supplies every three months. This meant that the people on board only had the opportunity to go ashore once in three months, and each time it would only be for a few hours.
As such, whenever the Ghost Ship would dock to resupply, the crew on board would seize this fleeting time to go and have fun ashore.
Not long after the crew left the ship, countless container trucks and forklifts swarmed into the harbor.
A steady stream of forklifts was then seen lifting the goods from the container trucks into the ship.
This would be the Ghost Ship''s supplies for the next three months.
Hidden in a dark corner a distance away, Nathan, Colin, and the others were staring at the Ghost Ship.
Nathan said, “Although a lot of the crew has alighted the ship, I reckon there are still a lot of guards on board. Besides, the Ghost Ship is a prison hulk that is holding countless supreme beings, so I''m sure there are a bunch of elite fighters from Ariarica on board as well. Therefore, we must be on our guard at all times after boarding the ship. Otherwise, we might just very well lose our lives."
Colin and the others replied, "Understood!"
Nathan added, “In order to find out the location of the people that we are going to rescue more effectively, we need to split up. Coline and I will be on our own, while Kraven and Kerry will be in a group. Any questions?"
Colin, Kraven, and Kerry remained silent.
All the while, Kerry had always been very respectful toward Kraven, addressing him as Mr. Macalister. As such, Kraven, who had been a loner for most of his life, had grown rather fond of the young woman. In fact, he felt he was able to experience the joy of having a daughter through Kerry.
Because of this, he had no qualms about protecting Kerry and watching over her after they boarded the ship.
Besides, with how proficient Kerry was at picking a lock, Kraven reckoned they would be able to spring Lothar out of his cell fairly easily. It was a win- win situation for him.
As for Nathan and Colin, since they were both from a military background, they preferred to operate solo as it was a more efficient way. Once the grouping part was done, Nathan said, "All right, let''s divide and conquer. If you find anything, use the wireless device tomunicate." "Understood!"
With that, Colin, Kraven, and Kerry split up before slinking toward the Ghost Ship.
It wasn''t until Nathan saw the three of them board the ship that he made a move as well.
Staring at the Ghost Ship that was a distance away, he raised his foot and kicked a pebble on the ground.
The instant the pebble shot out, Nathan moved with it, whizzing through the air.
While in mid-air, he stepped on the pebble gently and propelled himself forward. Hended easily on the deck of the Ghost Ship.
Just then, several soldiers in military uniforms with sub-machine guns in their hands were walking over in a line, patrolling the area.
The soldier in the lead jolted when he caught sight of Nathan standing in a dark corner.
He widened his eyes and barked out a question, demanding to know who Nathan was.
When the patrol soldiers behind him heard that, they were rmed. They raised their sub-machine guns and started looking for any suspicious targets.
However, they couldn''t see anyone in their vicinity.
The patrol soldiers were left befuddled. They turned to look at the soldier in lead, asking, "What is it, Chief?"
The patrol chief was perplexed as

How''s it gone in the blink of an eye?"
QUMS
The other patrol soldiers started chuckling when they heard that. "Haha! Your eyes must be ying tricks on you, Chief!"
"I bet it''s because Chief didn''t manage to get the opportunity to disembark the ship this time. He must be feeling so frustrated from theck of a woman''s embrace that he''s having hallucinations!
"Hahaha!"
The patrol chief huffed. "Stop spouting nonsense and get back to patrolling!"
Snickers and chuckles rang out as the group of men continued with their patrols.
A momentter, Nathan stepped out from a hidden corner and nced at the departing figures of the patrol soldiers. Looking as calm as ever, he started heading deeper into the Ghost Ship.
