"Come in, Keg."
Old Jack, at this moment, unhesitatingly stepped forward and seated himself in the captain's chair, while Anna and Ante respectively stood by his side.
Creak—
The brown wooden door to the captain's cabin was hurriedly pushed open.
A middle-aged man with a beard swiftly entered, gave a respectful bow to Old Jack, and then quickly said,
"Captain Jack, Monk Lian is here."
"Lian..." Old Jack's somewhat frosty brows furrowed together, a sense of foreboding instantly arose in his heart.
Why would he come at a time like this, just when the three of them, just when Miss Anna had come to this vast, unclaimed sea?
...It was clearly no good intention!
"I understand. You go outside and handle it for now; we'll be right there."
But now, Lian clearly wasn't the most important issue at hand, as he dismissed the Sailor Chief Keg.
"Yes." Keg didn't sense anything unusual, nodded, and turned to leave.
