Chapter 21: Setting Sail

"Don't hit anymore!" the dwarf Weixi shouted while stepping forward to break up the fight, but because he was short and small, he couldn't pull them apart for a while, so he helplessly took out his knuckle duster, "Bote, Nasi, you don't want me to tell the chief, you..."

Before he could finish speaking, the werewolf Bote's angry expression froze; he quickly stopped the tearing-of-clothes transformation motion, turned his head, and tattled to Weixi.

"Weixi, you know I never cause trouble; it's all Nasi's fault."

The equally calmed werewolf Nasi, upon hearing this, immediately retorted: "Don't listen to him; if he hadn't started it, I wouldn't be like this."

Werewolf Bote's face changed; he opened his mouth to speak, but werewolf Nasi retorted: "Don't make excuses, it's you who started the trouble..."

Weixi saw that the two were about to argue again, quickly made a gesture, and shouted: "If you keep arguing, I'll tell the chief."

Upon hearing that.

The two arguing parties immediately shut their mouths and simultaneously turned their heads, looking at Weixi pitifully.

Seeing their about-to-cry expressions made Weixi's scalp go numb; he waved his hand and said: "As long as you don't cause trouble, I won't tell the chief."

"Sure, sure."

"I'll listen to you."

After breaking up the two's quarrel, the dwarf Weixi turned to look at the three companions nearby who were arms crossed, watching the show; he thought to say they were just playing wolf, not knowing how to break up a fight.

But after thinking, he still felt the matter was important, so he turned to the sole female, Lu Si, and asked.

"Any news from Landri?"

Lu Si lowered her arms, shook her head, "No, I haven't received any news."

Weixi listened, stroking his chin, falling into thought. A month ago, their group of eight werewolves, acting on the chief's orders, set out from Hungary to Dayingguo in search of the legendary bloodline.

Before the operation, they had agreed that regardless of any clues, they would meet in Canterbury on the 25th of this month.

But now it's already the 27th, and Landri hasn't even shown a trace.

Could it be that he encountered something and was delayed?

Or perhaps he already found a clue and didn't have time to send word?

Or maybe he has met with some mishap?

Various speculations flashed through his mind when suddenly Bote and Nasi's teasing words reached Weixi's ears.

"That Landri guy keeps bragging his speed is faster than a Death Walker's; I think he most likely slipped in a sewer and was taken out by the Blood Clan."

"Haha, I think the same; that guy often farts in my face, I've long disliked him."

"I guess Landri was killed by that woman from the night before last..."

"This Landri is just a loser..."

"..."

Hearing their chat, Weixi's thoughts paused; he lifted his head to look at the two whispering beside him.

"I... uh!" Bote noticed the gaze, lowered his head, and saw Weixi staring at him.

His heart jolted; he immediately wiped the smile off his face, scratched his head, and weakly said: "Why do you keep staring at me? I'm not causing trouble either!"

"What did you just say?" Weixi ignored Bote's complaint and asked.

Seeing his solemn expression, Bote shrank his head: "Why do you always..."

"Not that line, the previous one?"

"I think this Landri is a loser."

"Also not that line, the one before that?"

Bote, feeling embarrassed, admitted he had spoken ill of his companion: "Um, I guess that Landri guy was taken out by that woman from the night before last."

"Exactly, that's it." Upon hearing it, Weixi's mind instantly cleared; he thumped his hand hard, his face lighting up with delight.

The other five looked at him like this, for a moment utterly baffled, like a monk trying to feel his own head.

Then Weixi's expression suddenly changed; he turned to them and said: "Landri has likely met with mishap; the perpetrator is very likely that woman from the day before yesterday, and now we must capture her and her companions."

After saying that, he added emphatically: "The matter of seeking the bloodline is taken very seriously by the chief; no leaks are allowed, and we must eliminate all hidden dangers."

Upon hearing Weixi's words, the werewolves immediately grasped the gravity; each wore a solemn expression, no longer the carefree attitude they had before.

And under Weixi's leadership, they headed toward the Ocean Goddess ship, investigating along the way.

…………

At five in the morning, the bright moon on the horizon was no longer visible.

On the sea surface of Dover Port, an ironclad large ship slowly raised its anchor.

"Whooo..."

Afterwards, the ship started up; the whistle blared amid the sea wind, that deep, majestic sound tearing through the horizon, making hearts surge.

"We've finally set sail." Leaning on the railing, Su Qing turned to Selinna and smiled.

With the ship's departure, the two could be considered to have completely shaken off the werewolves' pursuit.

Now we just need to wait calmly for the ship to dock in Belgium; then we can speed up and be back in Hungary within ten days.

"Let's find a hidden room later to rest properly and also discuss how to deal with Weikeduo; given that old guy's strength, we can only outwit him, not attack head-on." Having shaken off the trouble, Su Qing felt much lighter and said with a laugh.

Seeing the ship leave the berth, Selinna's urgency eased; hearing that, she gave Su Qing a glance and said: "I'm tired; later I'll only rest and talk, you're not to lay a hand on me."

"No, what do you mean by that? Am I really that kind of person?" Su Qing said embarrassedly.

"You are exactly that person; earlier you said just a hug, not... but what did you end up doing?" Selinna retorted mercilessly: "After all that, I still haven't asked you how you know so much about Weikeduo."

Su Qing's expression turned serious as he leaned in and said earnestly: "I once watched a movie called *Black Night Legend*; the film tells the story of the Blood Clan and werewolves, and that's how I learned about Weikeduo from it."

"Do you think I look like an idiot?"

Selinna glared at him, then turned and walked away.

"Hey! No!" Su Qing startled, still not believing despite speaking truthfully, shook his head and chased after to explain: "What I said is all true..."

By the dockside, the dwarf Weixi's ear twitched; hearing a familiar sound, he turned toward its direction and saw, on the receding Ocean Goddess ship, two silhouettes.

Of them, the rear silhouette appeared to be a man by build, while the front one was likely a woman.

Well, one man and one woman!

Wei Xi's expression shifted; combining that familiar male voice from just now, he could almost be certain that these two were the pair they had besieged the day before.

That is, these are the two they are currently tracking.

Alas! What a pity, they came a step too late.

Wei Xi only hated that his werewolf bloodline was too weak, all his skill points went into smell and hearing, leaving him without much combat power.

Otherwise, this time when he returns, he will surely give Bo Te and Na Xi a good lesson.

It's all because these two idiots delayed things; otherwise they would have caught that man and woman long ago.

Now the ship has left, he can't swim, and even if he could swim he couldn't keep up…………

Thinking about it, Wei Xi finally couldn't help shouting: "Fuck, I quit this job!"
