Lacey had passed out, and she was completely unconscious.
The four young men glanced at Julian briefly before looking away.
Julian casually asked, “Hey, are you selling your fishes?”
One of them replied, “Ten for a kilogram.”
Julian answered, “I want five kilograms of carp.”
“Very well. I’ll hand you the fishes when you pay.”
That was the secret code that Julian and the Bloodsworth Syndicate had.
After making sure that the other party was the right person, the young men threw their fishing poles aside and
walked up to him.
“What’s wrong with her?” He pointed at Lacey.
Julian responded, “She fainted. She won’t die.”
“Good. Board the yacht.” Lacey was the Great Marshal’s wife so it would be troublesome if she were dead.
After Julian went up the yacht, the driver, with Lacey in his arms, stepped forward to board the boat as well.

yacht.”
Julian sneered, “Think about what you’re doing. He’s the main guard beside Ares, and he’s a great fighter. It was
tough for Bloodsworth to get him to his side. If you don’t put him to work, it’ll be Bloodsworth Syndicate’s loss. Also,
Bloodsworth values him quite a bit. If you don’t let him on board, will you be able to bear the responsibility when
Bloodsworth asks about it?”
The young men exchanged glances. After a moment of silence, they nodded.
“Okay. You can board, but we’ll have to tie your hands and legs just in case.”
“Sure,” the driver replied quietly.
The yacht that the young men had dragged out from the reed was now on its way to the deep parts of East Skuld.
After a mile, the yacht stopped.
Abruptly, the surface of the sea in front of them started bubbling, as if the ocean were boiling.
Then, a humongous object slowly emerged from the ocean.
It was a submarine.
Julian gasped in astonishment. “I can’t believe that Bloodsworth Syndicate has a submarine in East Skuld.”
With a look of pride, the member of Bloodsworth Syndicate answered, “Of course. The Bloodsworth Syndicate is
much more impressive than you can imagine.”
Without wasting any more time, they boarded the submarine.
The interior of the submarine was spacious.
More than hundreds of Bloodsworth Syndicate’s members were gathered in the space. They were drinking and
chatting merrily, and some were playing cards as they smoked.
However, they did turn their attention to Julian when he arrived.
The moment Julian and the others entered, the members of Bloodsworth Syndicate circled them.
The team leader asked, “Why is there one extra person?”
The young man replied, “He’s the driver. He used to be the right-hand man of Ares. If a man like him can pledge
loyalty to the Bloodsworth Syndicate, we’ll definitely be more powerful.”
The leader nodded. “Okay. Please rest in the lounge. We’ll come for you when we reach the destination.”
Julian and the other two were then brought to the lounge.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmInstead of a typical lounge, it was more like a cell.
None of the Bloodsworth Syndicate’s members could trust Julian, so they locked them in the cell to prevent them
from stirring up trouble.
After locking the cell, the members of Bloodsworth Syndicate left.
It was then Lacey, who was supposedly unconscious, slowly opened her eyes.
Instead of looking surprised, she had a look of terror on her face.
“W-What do we do next?” Lacey asked the driver in a trembling voice.
The driver was none other than Ares.
Back then, Ares and Zeke’s plan to uproot the entire syndicate was to go along with Julian’s plan.
Ares knew that Julian was in league with Bloodsworth.
After Ares’ interrogation, Julian confessed to everything, and he even agreed to helping Ares get rid of Bloodsworth
Syndicate.
Hence, Lacey had been faking her unconsciousness earlier.
