Mystery: Mr. Witch and Ms. Hunter

Chapter 231 Tarot Club Gossip and Subordinates

Adele held the telegram and pondered.

The Little Warhorse is currently being repaired in the dock at Indo Port. In order to prevent technology leaks, the repair work is being carried out by the sailors on the ship. Wendy is serving as the technical instructor, and it is estimated that it will be ready to sail tomorrow at the latest.

However, the situation on the gang's side is not very stable at the moment. If I, as the actual leader, go out to sea under such circumstances, if an accident happens, the consequences will be disastrous.

Then, it’s a question of who to leave behind.

Adele had just arrived here and there was no one in the gang who was worthy of her unconditional trust; although the rebellious sailors had been completely brainwashed by her charm, the gang was managed by those brainless guys, and not only was their strength insufficient to convince the people, but even their management capabilities were worrying.

As one of the engineers and builders of the Little Charger, Wendy would definitely go with Adele.

The environment at sea this time may be quite dangerous and not suitable for taking Sophie there.

Anne was originally assigned by Tracy to be a partner in the shipping company, so naturally she had to stay at the headquarters. However, considering Tracy's hopes for Anne, Adele at most asked her to take care of Sophie and handle some paperwork, and she still had some concerns about letting her officially manage the gang. After all, being a gangster is not much more glamorous than being a pirate.

So after much consideration, Adele was hesitant about whether to let Vinata stay in Indo Port. The two of them officially broke the window paper last month, and tomorrow will be exactly one month.

Although they went through a lot during this period, which led to the way their emotional communication was slightly different from what Adele had expected, Adele was generally very satisfied with the effect of the communication. However, in order to avoid corrupting Sophie, the two did not spend much time together.

To get from the Intersea to the Sonia Sea, one must first sail to high latitudes into the North Sea, and then pass through the icebergs. The speed cannot be increased at all. The round trip will take at least half a month, which makes Adele quite worried.

"By the way, the bigwigs in the Tarot Club seem to be very busy lately, running around everywhere every day... How can a demigod still not have a fiancée/husband?"

Adele thought of the people in the Tarot Club for no reason, and then suddenly felt that being a demigod wasn't so worthy of envy after all.

Although Miss Justice was at a social age, and had heard many nobles and even princes hint at her when she was a servant in Baron Sinderas's mansion, she seemed to have not yet expressed her opinion.

Although Miss Judgment had a good figure, she was a little short. Adele wondered if the man who married her in the future would feel strangely guilty in bed.

Of course, marrying a demigod of the Arbitrator Path would indeed make one feel guilty... Adele muttered to herself.

The "Magician" lady in Adele's memory was quite pleasing to the eye. Although Adele had never seen her face, at least she did not have the height defect of "Judgement". She just looked lazy and might not have much interest in similar things.

Mr. "Star" and Mr. "Moon" gave her a similar feeling, and both dressed in a rather androgynous style, which sometimes made Adele think with some mischievous interest that they should just get along.

Moreover, Mr. "Star" always reminds me of Britten for no reason... I don't know how that guy is doing now, and whether he was injured in the aftermath of the fall of the angel.

Adele's reverie paused for a moment, but she soon resumed her thoughts.

Ms. Hermit is the famous "Queen of Stars" throughout the world. Like Ms. Justice, she seems to be the best among demigods. It is likely that the people who can match them have not yet been born.

As for Mr. Hanged Man, Adele had a good impression of him. She thought he was a calm, experienced, and sophisticated Beyonder who was powerful and most likely had a family.

"If Mr. Hanged Man really has a family, I'm really curious about their story... The Storm Church's choir is said to be very famous. Maybe the other party was attracted by Mr. Hanged Man's singing?"

At the same time, she had already imagined a lot of similar stories in her mind, and then tried to change the roles to herself and Vinata.

Really, why did I become so gossipy?
Adele, who was suddenly aware of this, shuddered and quickly threw away the messy thoughts and dirty trash in her mind. She looked around like a thief, as if to confirm whether Miss "Justice" was secretly observing her.

Could it be that after becoming a woman, my psychology will also undergo corresponding changes, making me gossipy and more prone to wild imagination?
Adele shook her head and said to Anne, who was waiting for her reply:

"Okay, I understand. Once Wendy finishes the inspection, we'll set off for the Sonia Sea. During this time, I might have to trouble you to look after the house."

Adele said gently to Anne.

"Okay, any other instructions?"

Anne performed a simple skirt-lifting gesture and continued asking.

"Not yet... Oh no, take Sophie out for a while. If she wants, take her to the kitchen for some ice cream. Vinata and I have something to discuss."

Adele wanted to refuse, but then she changed her mind.

Seeing the subtle change in Adele's expression, Anne immediately understood and nodded in understanding. She motioned Sophie to come over and asked Adele with her eyes how long she would be away with Sophie.

"Just call me at dinner time."

Adele gave Anne a satisfied smile, then turned and came to Venata's side.

"What are you and Annie whispering about?"

Seeing Adele standing at the door for a long time before coming back, Vinata was curious and asked casually.

"The Witch Cult suddenly sent a telegram," Adele raised her hand and set up a simple soundproof barrier around her. This was a convenient application of the witch's black magic, and there was no need to rebuild the spiritual wall. "They asked me to take the 'Little Warhorse' to the 'Abyss Whirlpool' in the north of the Sonia Sea."

"But the Esco family needs help right now, and Sophie also needs someone to take care of her..."

Vinata was stunned, apparently confused by the Witch Cult's orders.

"So I plan to let you and Annie stay, and leave Sophie to Annie's care. You are the only person I can trust now. No one else can control such a large gang."

Adele persuaded kindly.

"How long have we been engaged? You're going to leave me and go out on a wild date?" Venata smacked her lips in dissatisfaction. "And I'm not your subordinate."

Seeing Venata's angry look, Adele couldn't help but sigh.

Then she leaned forward and pressed Vinata down on the bench. She held Vinata's hand tightly, which was trembling due to the accident, and whispered in Miss Hunter's ear:

"Now, you are under my control."
