【East China Sea Region - Takahashi Family】
"Damn it! Damn it!!!"
"How did that guy manage to escape?!"
"Useless! [I'm obsessed with] that useless duo!!!"
In the cramped room, Takahashi's eyes were cold, and his cell phone kept vibrating in his pocket.
He glanced down and saw it was the main video call initiated by Merlin, but it only flashed for a moment before stopping amidst Freddy Rockburn's shouting.
"It's over..."
"It's over!!!"
"Then...won't we all get arrested next?"
His face turned deathly pale in an instant as a message notification popped up on Takahashi's phone!
[Tasius Cabbage: A message from the Tasius chip reminds you to immediately relocate the Mo family siblings, and under no circumstances should anyone discover it! Once they are relocated and disappear, our crimes will be lessened!]
If they remain in our hands, we still have leverage to rise again!
You... understand?
Upon seeing the text message, Takahashi's expression tightened, and he immediately prepared to leave.
"It's okay! It's okay!"
"I'm in the East China Sea. The Ship Alliance is the furthest from here!"
"If we evacuate now, I'll take the Mo siblings and hide away. All the results of their serum experiments will be mine! I can rely on them to make the Takahashi family the number one family in the world!"
"This is a disaster..."
"This is also an opportunity for my Takahashi family to rise to power!!!"
"Tap tap tap—"
With hurried steps, Takahashi walked towards a cabin, shouting as he went, "Everyone! Everyone in the family! Prepare to start the merchant ship immediately! We're heading towards the wasteland sea!"
"Everyone! Everyone, get ready!"
"I..."
"Thud—"
He was stunned halfway through his sentence!
Because, just as he was about to open the hatch, the hatch opened on its own, and a familiar figure stood in front of him.
It's Takahashi Meigetsu!
The people in power in the Takahashi family two years ago!
At this moment, she emerged from the cabin with an icy expression, staring at him with chilling eyes. Takahashi was taken aback: "Ancestor Mingyue, you...you haven't been someone who likes to stay home for the past two years, have you?"
"What are you doing today?"
"Me..."
"Today... we're here to bring about the destruction of the Takahashi family!"
"Huh?! What...what nonsense are you talking about?!"
Looking at Takahashi Akira's serious face, Takahashi I felt inexplicably uneasy.
How could this elder, who is of a higher generation than himself and is the one who most protects the interests of the family, say such crazy things?
"Ancestor Mingyue, please stop fooling around!"
"Please step aside! I'll send those two away separately in a small boat first. That way, even if we're intercepted, no one from the [Shipping Alliance] will be able to find any weakness in our position..."
"you..."
Looking directly at Takahashi Meigetsu, a cold smile inexplicably appeared on the other's lips.
"Hehehe—"
The next moment!
A sudden wave of dizziness washed over Takahashi, and his consciousness seemed to be leaving his body, uncontrollably rushing towards Takahashi Meigetsu's body...
"Thump—"
What a bizarre scene!
Takahashi Ii was clearly about to stagger and collapse, but suddenly, his eyes cleared, and he caught Takahashi Meigetsu, who had suddenly fainted and was about to fall...
"Quick! Start the ship!"
"Set off!"
"I saw it! I watched the live stream! Those 'ship alliance' guys are definitely coming to arrest us soon! Hurry! Hurry!"
"......"
On the ship's cabin, people were already shouting and urging people to get moving.
but!
"Stop right there!"
"ah?!"
The busy crowd was all stunned, their eyes turning to Takahashi in disbelief: "Master! You...you're doing this?"
"I said...stop it all!"
Are you all stupid?
"The more we run away, the more suspicious we become! They can't possibly gather evidence of our crimes and arrest us immediately when they arrest people from the [Western Sea Region]!"
"Furthermore, those people from the Western Sea region, in order to lessen the severity of their own crimes, are even less likely to implicate us..."
"The more you run, the more you'll be chased..."
"In my opinion, it would be better to cooperate with their investigation. At worst, we can deny everything we did, just say we were forced to participate in the [serum] experiment back then..."
"That's all...they can't convict us!"
"Because the Mo family siblings are with us, whatever we say, the powerful families will cooperate with us..."
"What are you all panicking for?!"
Takahashi's words were reasonable and well-founded, and he calmed the noisy crowd in an instant.
"That's right! The patriarch's mind is still the sharpest!"
"That's why you say you're the head of the family!"
"That's right! The more we run, the more we'll be chased. If we don't run and instead engage in a standoff, we'll have a better chance..."
"......"
After exchanging bewildered glances, Takahashi Jing waved his hand. "Someone! Take Ancestor Mingyue back inside! Also, maintain today's operations as usual. I'll be responsible for relocating the Mo family siblings!"
"yes!"
After some arrangements were made, things on the ship returned to normal.
After Takahashi walked down from the cabin alone, in the dimly lit room, under the dim candlelight, behind two iron bars lay two people whose faces were already deathly pale.
Mo Liangji, Mo Yurou.
