The mysterious journey begins with becoming a pirate

Earl Edward's cabin.

It looks more elegant here. But Earl Edward's face made the temperature of the air drop by two degrees.

He had received the news that the assassination failed, and even Falcon was dead.

He originally planned to kill him directly and solve the threat to himself directly. But he obviously underestimated the strength of his opponent.

Sure enough, people who can make great contributions in the process of eliminating the anti-will are not so simple. What he could not imagine the most was how he killed an outstanding hunter while taking a bath? ? ?

It was incredible.

This made him lose a bodyguard and reduced his attack methods by more than half. The remaining knight bodyguard can only protect his own safety. And the life priest can only heal.

Now he is in a passive position, and there is no way to confront him head-on. Just protect yourself and go to Damia. Make plans at that time.

To be honest, he was afraid in his heart, fearing that Alok would kill him regardless of everything. Otherwise, he would not let Falcon assassinate him.

In the education he received, the interests of the family have always been higher than his own interests. If I die now, I am afraid that the whole family will be destroyed. Now is the moment of survival for the family.

"Don't worry, Lord Earl. He won't do it on the ship." The knight behind him comforted.

"Not necessarily, Sergei. It's just that Pierre won't let him do it on the ship." Earl Edward sighed and replied.

"That sheriff, Florian won't do it either. So we are safe." Sergei continued to comfort.

"Sheriff?" Earl Edward sneered. "Just birds of a feather. Pierre can't be trusted either. He is Dror's man. The only one you can trust is yourself."

Bang~ Bang~ Bang~

The knock on the door suddenly sounded. Earl Edward and Sergei looked at each other, and saw confusion and surprise in each other's eyes.

Who would come at this time?

Earl Edward signaled Sergei to open the door with his eyes.

The door opened, and a waiter bowed respectfully, then whispered:

"I'm sorry to disturb the Earl's rest. But there was an emergency on the ship. So Captain Peel summoned all the passengers on the third floor to the conference room at the back of the third floor. To explain the incident and to let everyone sleep well."

Sergei looked back at Earl Edward, and after he nodded in agreement, he politely replied:

"The Earl will go later."

······

The conference room in the middle of the third floor.

It was already late at night, and although the nobles looked very tired, they obviously still followed the ancient etiquette and sat in their seats in the conference room in neat clothes.

Captain Peel, as the host of the meeting, sat at the top of the long conference table. And Alok, as the victim of this incident, sat at the lower left. Opposite was the seat reserved for Earl Edward, but he had not come yet.

Although the people present were a little drowsy, they knew that something big had happened, so they forced themselves to cheer up and have a communication meeting with people they knew nearby, and waited for Earl Edward to arrive.

As expected, the higher the official, the more arrogant he was. Ten minutes later, Earl Edward finally arrived. He naturally sat at the lower position on the right side of Pierre, and glanced at Alok opposite him without any ripples in his eyes. He gestured to Pierre.

Seeing this, Pierre coughed, attracted everyone's attention, and said bluntly:

"The reason why everyone was called here today is because something unpleasant happened tonight."

"Lord Phasma was assassinated, but it seems that the assassin's level is not good enough, and Lord Phasma easily avoided it. During the subsequent inspection, the assassin was shot dead on the spot."

The meeting was in an uproar, and only a few people who knew part of the truth were not so shocked.

He glanced at the dozen nobles at the conference table and continued:

"However, it is not yet certain whether the assassin has accomplices. Therefore, for your own safety, try not to stay alone and have at least one person accompanying you."

Hearing this, the people present became even more noisy, and began to accuse Peel of work mistakes and began to make noise for their own safety issues.

Finally, when the voice became slightly lower, Captain Peel said loudly:

"Please believe in my ability. In the ten years since I became the captain of the Dror, there has never been an abnormal death of a passenger. I am the righteous Peel."

This sentence obviously shocked everyone at the scene, and the noise stopped. Then, Peel continued:

"However, for everyone's safety, I hope everyone can follow our arrangements in terms of safety protection. This is for everyone's safety."

"No, we want freedom."

Pier glanced at the young man who spoke, the second son of Earl Edward. Although he did not have a title, he also had a first-class ticket because of his father, so he could sit here. Not mature enough, just an adult.

He glanced at Earl Edward again, not intending to care about this immature suggestion.

Sure enough, Earl Edward, who was on the right, snorted coldly and said, "Shut up. This is the Hutt Empire, not the Free Will Federation. The freedom here means having rules and obeying order."

Then, Earl Edward looked at Captain Peel again and said with an apologetic tone:

"I'm sorry for not taking good care of my son. I think he will obey the rules."

After a pause, he spoke again:

"I have a suggestion."

He coughed and continued: "Since we had such an accident on the first day, and we are not sure whether there are other assassins on the ship. Why don't we return? Check the passengers?"

"No." Captain Peel directly rejected this suggestion, and then said:

"We will definitely check, but we can't return. That will lose the face of the Grand Duke and make other passengers on the ship lose more time."

Earl Edward himself did not intend that this suggestion would work. He just wanted to lead to the following words. He paused and said:

"I am abrupt. Such a proposal is indeed not comprehensive enough."

"But we also need corresponding protection. No one knows what the assassin will do." He said again.

"Of course, the guards will protect everyone from harm. Please rest assured, Earl." Peel said in a firm tone.

Hearing this, Earl Edward seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and continued:

"That's good. I am mainly worried about the safety of Lord Phasma. After all, the main target of the assassin is Lord Phasma. So I think she needs more protection than us."

When he heard Earl Edward mention himself, Alok's eyebrows jumped slightly, and he couldn't understand Earl Edward's thoughts.

Earl Edward himself certainly knew that the assassin was just a fictitious thing, and he also knew that the real danger was himself. Not Phasma.

But in order to sever the relationship and to achieve his goal, he simply thought in reverse.

He knew that Alok would not act in public, and he would never dare to kill a monitor directly if he sent one.

In this way, he protected his own safety from another aspect.

Then, he said with a smile:

"I have a private doctor, and I am willing to use her as one of the forces to protect Lord Phasma. This is also the last effort I can make."

After thinking for a moment, Alok smiled evilly:

"Thank you for your kindness, Count, but I think Captain Pierre can protect me. Besides, the assassin is dead now, and even if there are accomplices, the threat is not as strong as before. If he takes action again, he will definitely die."

He directly rejected the proposal. And pulled Captain Pierre to guarantee it.

On the one hand, it tells Edward that Pierre is also in the same group as me, and on the other hand, it is to scare Count Edward.

Now, although the first step has gone wrong, it is basically completed. At least Count Edward was scared, and the opponent's strength was unexpectedly hit.

The next step should be to keep calm and wait for a while.

Wait until he gets off the ship.

The doctor he mentioned is the life priest.

A priest, as far as I know, has no offensive means. In such a tense situation on the ship, he will definitely not use poisoning and other means to assassinate.

The hunter could deny the connection, but the priest couldn't. After all, he was talking about his own doctor.

Pierre and Florian were trying to catch him, but Count Edward wouldn't let them catch him.

That would ruin his family.

Considering his family's priority, he would not take more radical actions.
