However, some complaints are inevitable.
"But we ate quite a lot, sigh... Sometimes, I really wish I could hijack this whole ship of people, so that I could temporarily control Japan."
Kerry leaned against the ship's railing facing the sea, holding a small cake respectfully handed to him by a waiter, and used a fork to cut pieces of cake and put them into his mouth little by little.
"Control Japan?"
Xiangzi looked at Kerry with some surprise.
In Xiangzi's eyes, Kerry was a man who was very restrained in his living conditions and desire for power, and always seemed indifferent except for fighting and helping those who were harmed by monsters.
"Cancele overtime for more people, give them more of the compensation they deserve, expand career advancement opportunities, provide better healthcare and education services, reduce wasteful spending, and make public finances more transparent, so that more of the money invested by these people can be channeled back into ordinary people's lives..."
Kerry stopped midway through his speech.
He noticed that Xiangzi was tilting his head and looking at him with some confusion.
There were probably some parts that I didn't quite understand, but if a young lady who wasn't being groomed to be an heir were to understand these things, she would probably have to learn them herself.
Seeing Kerry shut up, Xiangzi felt a little strange. Although she couldn't say she was disappointed, she was still a bit frustrated. She felt that this nonchalant guy had unusually opened the door to her heart that was always closed.
However, because he didn't know something, he chose to close the door again.
Yes, everyone clearly has absolute trust in each other during battles and understands each other's personalities well, but it seems that no one has ever opened up their inner wounds to show others.
However, Xiangzi felt that not only did he not want to tell everyone about his embarrassing situation, but he was also afraid that if he spoke his mind, he would be called naive.
Not wanting to add more burden to her heart, Xiangzi simply turned her gaze away from the crowd for a short while, squinted at the gradually brightening sea on the horizon, let the wind blow her twin ponytails, and held onto the railing, letting the gold, blue, and white light reflect in her vision as colorful spots of light appeared.
However, in just a short while, a swift figure suddenly moved quickly down the corridor and pounced straight at the two of them.
The sudden sound of the wind alerted the two men, who instantly drew their weapons and assumed fighting stances.
However, the figure stopped the moment it saw the two fighting.
It was a petite figure wearing a hood, even a little shorter than Xiangzi. The person took off the hood, revealing a head of beautiful hair and clear, bright eyes.
"Hello! Would you like to have a child with me?"
214
Chapter 214 This is not a boat to kindergarten at all!
Where did this crazy woman come from?
The two looked at the girl who was spouting out outrageous remarks.
He looked to be no more than a high school student, but his distinctive features—black eyes and white pupils—were very obvious. If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't smell any fragrance, people might have already thought he was acting strangely.
Underneath the hood was a long, straight, black Hime-style hairstyle, and her face was flushed and she was breathing heavily, seemingly because of what she was saying.
Kerry thought for a moment, then said, "Oh! The Wu clan, then it's alright."
On the contrary, Xiangzi, who remained unfazed even in the face of slaughter, suddenly twitched.
He looked at the shameless girl in front of him with a strange expression, like he was watching this episode as a child and seeing Oblivionis, the son of the Black Goat, besiege Rokkenjima.
"You... are you?"
"I am Wu Garuda! A member of the Wu clan. May I have a child with you?"
The girl placed her hands together on her chest, introduced herself, and then made her request again.
What's wrong with this guy?
Is it appropriate to talk about having a baby in this kind of setting?
No one would agree to such strange conditions, right?
"can."
Kerry nodded.
"What's the price?"
Why did you agree? Xiangzi was about to lose his composure and turned to look at Kerry.
Kerry wasn't surprised; the Wu family was an assassin family active in Japan.
Although they were obviously not involved in the most famous assassination, they were at least well-known within the Kengan Association.
This black background and white eyes are the characteristics of their clan. They are descendants of the Wu clan from the neighboring Eastern power. It seems that after they fought against some powerful figure, they split into three groups. One group went to Europe and America to develop, the main family stayed next door, and another small group went to Japan. Moreover, their family has a very interesting characteristic.
That is, they would do a very ancient kind of genetic optimization. Their clan would try every means to have the women of their clan find the strongest people of the time to leave offspring and hope to collect the powerful characteristics in the genes of martial artists.
They truly ask for nothing in return. They neither require the strong to take responsibility nor do anything from the strong. All they need to do is sleep with the women in their family. Once a woman becomes pregnant, she will leave, and then the family will begin to raise offspring.
So it's not surprising that Kerry and his group were found. From their perspective, this is no longer just a simple martial arts bloodline; they might even have some extraordinary bloodline left behind.
However, the girl in front of us is actually a bit special, because she is the granddaughter of the current head of the Wu clan. She is not the one who would be used as a tool for raising Gu poison. She can freely choose her own romantic partner.
The girl was delighted to hear Kerry agree, but she was stunned by what Kerry said next.
"The...price?"
Kerry nodded seriously.
"That's right. Since you want one of my children, what are you willing to give in return?"
"Ugh?"
Wu Jialoulu tilted her head in confusion; this was somewhat different from what she had imagined.
"Um... if you marry me, you should receive a large dowry from my family... and... the shops in Tokyo that my family is allocating to me..."
She counted the costs for Kerry on her fingers.
Fortunately, someone interrupted the farce. A gaunt old man, looking utterly devastated, led his men over.
"Ahhhh!"
Two women with identical black skin and white eyes immediately came up, grabbed the girl, and dragged her away.
"Wait! I haven't finished talking to you, my darling. If you marry me, my mom will also... Waaaaah! I won't give up! I'll keep looking for you even when I'm on the ground! Waaaaah!"
Her mouth was gagged, but she managed to break free herself; however, the second time it was completely sealed shut.
Seeing the person being dragged away, Xiangzi, still confused about what had happened, breathed a sigh of relief.
Seriously, what's wrong with that girl? She's acting so strangely.
The gaunt old man came to apologize with a long face full of wrinkles.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, my granddaughter has caused you trouble."
Our clan has an old belief that only the strong can leave offspring; she's probably been led astray by the people in the clan."
He first came up very sincerely and bowed slightly.
"but……"
At this point, he changed the subject.
"Besides her, I can arrange a marriage for you with any woman in our family that you fancy. If you're interested, once we're back on shore, I can bring all the women of marriageable age in our clan for you to choose from. Hehehe!"
The old man gave a lewd smile.
"After all, if the bloodline of someone like you were to combine with the bloodline that our clan has accumulated over thousands of years by merging with various powerful figures, it would surely create extraordinary offspring."
However, if my granddaughter comes looking for you again, please refuse her. She's my only precious child. Otherwise, even if it were you, I would…”
The old man chuckled dryly, speaking in a tone that was half-weak and half-threatening, and stretched out his hand. His thin body bulged up in the next moment, and he reached out to reach Kerry's wrist.
"Snapped!"
Before the old man could react, Kerry's hand appeared directly between his eyebrows, and then he flicked his finger.
"Ouch!" The old man clutched his forehead and cried out in pain, glancing at Kerry warily before falling silent.
"I'm sorry to bother you..."
He walked away in the opposite direction with faltering steps.
"What a bunch of self-absorbed idiots."
Xiangzi watched the old man leave with a disgruntled pout.
Actually, if the old man hadn't left so quickly, Kerry would have been quite curious to ask if the Wu clan had any descendants of the Hanma family. After all, this was a win-win situation for both the 48-year-old middle-aged man who could talk to Tokugawa, the bald old man, about wanting to have powerful descendants to fight against, and for the Wu clan itself.
The cruise ship continued sailing on the sea, and the strong sea wind indicated that it was indeed moving at full speed, but unfortunately there were almost no landmarks around.
However, the little creatures hiding on the boat have been quiet for the past few hours and seem to have no intention of attacking people.
As time passed, the passengers on the ship would occasionally take out their phones to check if they had entered the coverage area of a land-based base station, while others would keep asking the staff how much longer it would take. Of course, in these situations, the only answer they would usually get was...
"The driver's cab says we're almost there."
Under these circumstances, the ship sailed from daytime into the afternoon.
By this time, some people had already noticed something was wrong.
That can't be right, can it? Weren't we going at full speed when we set sail? Shouldn't we be almost there?
When the stars appeared over the sea, Kerry casually glanced up at them.
Huh? Why does this constellation look like it's almost south of the Bering Strait?
215
Chapter 215 Where did I come from?
Kerry looked at the sky and calculated the latitude and longitude. No, it was quite far from the North Pole, but the location was indeed in the northeast direction of the Pacific Ocean.
This location is really strange. Not to mention that it's not the way back to Chiba at all, the speed is also terrifying.
It's not at all like the location a passenger cruise ship should be after a night of medium-speed sailing and a day of full-speed sailing.
Kerry immediately shared this information in his mind.
[Kerry: Something's not right, this ship isn't heading towards Japan at all]
【Kiritani Kazuto:? 】
[Sato Kazuma: Huh?]
