American Comics: BOSS Invasion

Qi Shan flicked his fingers, nonchalantly tossing out a small wooden block.

His eyes, however, were fixed on the slightly panicked beauty before him, the corners of his mouth tilting up in a slight smile.

“Let me see, you really are quite beautiful! Your technique is quite good; you shouldn't have been discovered. But you were a bit too reckless. Who did you have to steal from? You just had to steal from this ship's captain?

Aren't you just asking for death?”

At this moment, the captain, leading several crew members, burst out. The somewhat balding man spotted the woman in the red dress at a glance, and his simple, honest face instantly twisted into a grimace.

“It’s her, that filthy thief! How dare you steal my things? You really don’t know the immensity of heaven and earth. Grab her and lock her in the lower warehouse first. I’ll deal with her slowly when I have time.”

How many sailors who run the seas are kind souls?

The vast ocean stretches without end. Sometimes, you won't encounter another ship for ten days or half a month, and you always have to be wary of pirates suddenly appearing.

The men who can sail for long periods, from sailors to captains, are not simple characters.

You must know that for a ship, the captain is the supreme figure. Every decision he makes, every word he says, can have all kinds of consequences.

A captain who can control sailors is like a gang leader on land.

An ordinary female thief dared to provoke someone of this level. Isn't that like a mouse licking a cat's butt—courting death?

Seeing the crew rushing over like wolves and tigers without a word, the beautiful thief finally began to panic.

“What do you want to do? You’ve mistaken me! I’m definitely not a thief. I’ve never stolen anything. Oh, it’s him! It’s this man! I just saw a wallet in his hand. Arrest him!”

In her panic, the woman pushed all the responsibility onto Qi Shan.

The crew stopped and turned to look at the captain.

The captain roared, “What are you idiots doing, stopping? Hurry up and grab the thief! And you, Asian, return my wallet! Don’t think I don’t know you’re in cahoots with that woman!

You few, go over there and arrest him too! Damn it, don’t let me find out you’ve done anything else, or I’ll throw you into the sea to feed the fish!”

Facing the crew rushing at her, the beautiful thief was angry and desperate. She suddenly realized that this large ship was an isolated island.

Forced into a dead end, she had no way to retreat.

The only lifeline had been personally sent into the abyss. Now, besides praying that the other party would be a little merciful, there was nothing else she could do.

Qi Shan always wore a faint smile on his face. Even when the crew rushed forward to restrain him, Qi Shan's expression didn't change at all.

But in his heart, Qi Shan gained a bit more interest in this woman who was quite beautiful but ruthless when she acted.

When faced with danger, she unhesitatingly sold out her teammate. Her desire to survive was very strong. It seemed she often walked the line between light and darkness; she must have done this kind of thing often.

Everyone has a love for beauty. Even a 'white knight' would feel a slight sense of strangeness when encountering someone who matched his aesthetic standards. However, being sold out so decisively by a beautiful woman always felt a little uncomfortable.

Therefore, the look in Qi Shan's eyes towards the beautiful thief changed slightly, but not too much. From the beautiful thief's point of view, the sudden appearance of himself probably meant that he wasn't trustworthy.

The two had only exchanged a few words before and Qi Shan hadn't even had time to introduce his fabricated identity.

Thinking about it this way, it seemed understandable. After all, as a beautiful thief, she had to have a strong desire to survive.

Unable to struggle, the beautiful thief was forcibly pushed into a warehouse by several crew members, and Qi Shan was also thrown in.

The captain uttered a few ruthless words with a smug look. The gist was that he was currently very busy, needing to socialize with various dignitaries, and had no time to pay attention to the two of them. When he had finished his business and had some free time, he would slowly play with them.

Qi Shan usually couldn't be bothered to react to such cliché lines. The beautiful thief also put on a poker face, with even a hint of contempt in her eyes.

She seemed to want to anger the captain on the spot, looking for an opportunity to escape in the fight.

The captain was indeed angry, but he was indeed in a hurry. He snorted heavily, locked the isolation door from the outside, and as the sound of footsteps gradually faded away, the warehouse gradually became quiet.

Qi Shan glanced at the beautiful thief, the corner of his mouth slightly curling up, and then shifted his mind to the sea.

A few minutes ago, the small wooden block thrown out by Qi Shan was now rising and falling in the raging waves, sometimes being swept into the sea, and sometimes breaking out of the water with its buoyancy.

Qi Shan's power transmitted over, and the small wooden block began to expand, growing into a human shape at a speed visible to the naked eye, and then gradually turning into Qi Shan's appearance.

The clone twisted its neck, and the undulations of Kagura Shingan rippled out, quickly obtaining accurate feedback.

“Already two kilometers away? That's fast!”

In the feedback from Kagura Shingan, a giant octopus, as large as the Eight-Tailed Beast, was rising upwards at the speed of a missile two kilometers below the sea surface.

The surrounding calm waters were churned into turbulent flows by the eight tentacles, and the reverse thrust propelled its massive body to continue accelerating.

This fellow's size was indeed not small.

If this giant cruise ship was a leaf, then the octopus was a solid glass marble.

Its head alone was one-third the size of the cruise ship, and the remaining tentacles were hundreds of meters long, of varying thickness, but extremely tough.

At the opponent's speed, it would surface in at most two more minutes and crash head-on into the cruise ship.

“I can’t let you ruin my good mood!”

Qi Shan stood firmly on the turbulent sea, quickly forming a hand seal, spreading his five fingers and gently pressing them on the water surface.

With his five fingers as the center, a large number of spells snaked out, instantly forming a huge rune array with a radius of more than ten meters.

“Water Release: Five Sharks Devouring Technique!”

Five transparent water droplets appeared below the sea surface, and with churning and rolling, they formed water elemental creatures at a speed visible to the naked eye—five tiger sharks the size of whales.

Qi Shan chuckled, “Go! Kill that giant octopus. Oh, right, leave me the fattest and most tender tentacle. I might need a midnight snack later!”

The sharks, like real creatures, swam around in the water for a while before suddenly rushing towards the deep sea.

Leave the specialized monsters to the professional creatures. No matter how big an octopus gets, it's just food in front of aquatic life.

Five giant sharks plunged downwards, crashing head-on into the giant octopus like missiles.

The impact was immense, erupting into uncontrollable bubbles that spread horizontally beneath the sea's surface.

The uncontrollable force surged upwards, but after diffusing through a kilometer of deep water, the resulting waves were only slightly more intense than a storm.

The revelers on the cruise ship barely noticed a sway before everything returned to normal.

Many didn't even realize that they had long lost their balance under the double intoxication of alcohol and beautiful women. Were they swaying? Was the ship swaying? Were the waves swaying? Or was the Earth swaying? They couldn't tell.

The giant octopus let out a deafening roar that penetrated the surface of the sea, like an old, powerful demon from a wuxia novel speaking in the forest, making it impossible to pinpoint its location.

However, this roar was completely different from its previous triumphant declaration of attack.

This roar was filled with endless rage and pain.

After all, Water Release is a supernatural power. Once Chakra is upgraded to Sage Chakra, the power of all ninjutsu will increase by another level, not to mention the new Nen ability that can already rival the power of creation.

The Water Release used by Qi Shan is not the same as that used by Kisame Hoshigaki.

The latter could at most create a lake and have five dolphin-sized sharks continuously attack the enemy with the power of regeneration.

But the sharks released by Qi Shan were two levels higher in terms of physical toughness and combat power.

Even in a one-on-one fight, they could tear the octopus monster to pieces, let alone with five of them attacking at once.

The giant octopus was quite pitiful. It came out for a snack, but now it inexplicably lost its life.

Giant monsters don't have it easy in the ocean.

In this vast sea, they inevitably face a life of feast or famine. It finally encountered a metal can and was about to have a feast, but it was taken as food by a group of inexplicable sharks.

The giant octopus didn't understand until its dying breath where these five blue male sharks came from.

No matter how strong a sea monster's regeneration ability is, it has to die with resentment after being torn to pieces.

Qi Shan looked at the special assassination mission item in the task list, which had changed to 2/5, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly.

It took a total of five minutes from the start to the completion of the task.

Qi Shan nodded, satisfied with his efficiency.

Meanwhile, the beautiful thief had been trying every possible way to open the silver bracelet on her wrist.

Unfortunately, it was completely useless. Whether it was because her skills weren't up to par or because the bracelet had an anti-theft device, the beautiful thief changed several tools in a row, but she couldn't achieve her goal.

She inadvertently looked up and was stunned.

Just a few minutes ago, that place was covered with a mountain of potatoes. How could there be a tea table there now?

The man who had been locked up with her was sitting leisurely in a chair, drinking the red tea in his hand.

The beautiful thief sniffed. That's right, this is genuine red tea, Darjeeling tea from England.

Two years ago, she had painstakingly sneaked into a viscount's manor and had the good fortune to steal a little sip. She still misses the pure and rich taste.

Wait, why is he holding a chicken cup?

The beautiful thief's eyes almost popped out.

"You, what are you doing?"

Qi Shan asked inexplicably: "Drinking tea, genuine Darjeeling, would you like some?"

"Can I? Can you give me a cup too... No, you bastard, how did you do it? Where did your handcuffs go? Where did the table and chairs come from? When did the red tea appear? Are you doing magic? Three minutes ago, you were still sitting on potatoes!" The beautiful thief said excitedly.

Qi Shan said calmly: "Don't worry, take your time."

Qi Shan turned his palm over, and a playing card suddenly appeared between his index and middle fingers. He flicked his wrist lightly, and the playing card seemed to have eyes, spinning and slashing at the beautiful thief's handcuffs.

Then, there were two clanging sounds, and two sparks splashed from the handcuffs, which then broke directly, and the bracelet fell to the ground with a crash.

"You?"

The beautiful thief looked down at the handcuffs at her feet, then looked at Qi Shan, surprised.

"Don't be surprised, don't be anxious, this is just a normal operation. After all, as a magic enthusiast, wouldn't it be very reasonable and logical to know a little bit of escapology?"

Escapology my ass, do you think I'm blind!

The beautiful thief curled her lips, muttered a few words in her heart, but didn't dare to say anything more.

She walked over slowly, took the red tea that Qi Shan poured for her, picked up the cup and felt it. It was indeed a bit incredible.

It smells so good, and it's still hot?

The beautiful thief's eyes became more and more strange when she looked at Qi Shan.

What kind of person is this?

Thinking that she had dragged the other party into the water just now, she couldn't help but feel a little guilty, and quickly said thank you, holding the cup in her hand.

"My name is Qi Shan!"

"Just call me Lina!" The beautiful thief smiled a little awkwardly: "Sorry, I dragged you into the water in a moment of desperation. I didn't mean to!"

"I don't mind that. What I'm more interested in is, how much is the diamond necklace on your neck worth?"

Qi Shan was a little curious.

Good家伙, this woman is indeed professional.

I remember when she first appeared in the bar, she didn't have a single piece of jewelry on her body.

By the time she walked through the dance floor, she had a diamond necklace around her neck and a shiny silver watch on her hand.

Lina rolled her eyes, "Hey, asking such questions won't please girls!"

"Then I'm really sorry. I've never been one to please girls. Usually, they're the ones who please me!" Qi Shan smiled.

"Just because you can do magic?" Lina curled her lips.

"No, it's because I'm a policeman!"

Lina was stunned, and Qi Shan nodded deliberately.

Lina was speechless for a moment.

After telling a little joke, the atmosphere gradually eased, and the two chatted casually, talking idly.

Just then, Phoenix's small boat appeared on the horizon.
