    At this moment, a freighter weighing under 10,000 tons was sailing at full speed across the open sea.


    The sounds of the ship moving through the water masked the approach of a dark figure racing towards them from the left side, skimming just above the surface.


    This shadowy figure was none other than Charlie.


    Due to his unique aura, it felt as if he were walking on invisible air cushions, keeping his feet about ten centimeters above the water.


    With each step he took on the waves, water sshed beneath him. During the day, this spectacle would be impossible to miss and could leave onlookers in awe.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    However, it was nighttime, and cloaked in ck, Charlie resembled a ghost, going unnoticed even by enemies with sharp instincts.


    As he closed in on the ship, he spotted several armed sentries stationed on the deck and along the bridge’s perimeter.


    This freighter, though not particrlyrge, had its cargo holds positioned at the front and middle, with the bridge located at the stern.


    The bridge serves as themand center for the vessel, where both navigation and crew amodations are centralized.


    Currently, six sentinels were on duty: two at the bow, two positioned on either side of the midsection, and two on the outer tform of the bridge’s highest level.


    With no other ships in sight, the sentries appeared somewhat rxed; they stood guard but two of them at the stern were even sharing a smoke.


    Charlie contemted his approach and decided to board from the stern. Despite the concentration of personnel here, the noise from the ship’s engines and propellers made it less likely for anyone to notice him, even if they were skilled martial artists.


    The two smoking sentinels were oblivious as Charlie stealthily approached the hull, leaping from the water to scale the left side of the bridge.


    Using his spiritual energy, he sensed that there were fifteen individuals within the four-story bridge structure.


    In addition to the two sentinels on the top level, three others upied the cockpit. The remaining ten were divided, with eight on the third floor and two on the second floor.


    Additionally, four more crew members were located in the engine room beneath the bridge.


    Charlie deduced that the cockpit staff and engine room crew were likely responsible for operating the ship. One of the three in the cockpit might be the captain, but the truemander was likely among the ten individuals on the second and third floors.<fn5f5a> This text is hosted at findnovel</fn5f5a>


    Focusing his aura, Charlie began a more detailed investigation of those on the second and third floors.


    To his surprise, he found that the eight on the second floor were spread across four small rooms, suggesting a crew dormitory setup.


    The two individuals on the third floor upied a muchrger room, equivalent to three crew quartersbined.


    Unexpectedly, Charlie discovered that the two upants of thisrger room were entangled with each other, engaged in passionate activity.


    He thought to himself, “On a mission at sea, and they’re still finding time for this! The realmander must be one of them!”


    With that, he leapt from the railing onto the third floor, sneaking into the lounge area.


    The bridge building was spacious. On the third floor, aside from therge room where the two were preupied, there were a conference room, a dining area, and a bathroom.


    Charlie bypassed these empty spaces and approached the innermost room, just as the two inside finished their encounter.


    He could hear the rustling of clothing as a man’s voice called out, “Wait for me, I’ll check the cockpit.”


    Then came the sound of a kiss, followed by footsteps approaching the door.


    Charlie gripped the Soul Piercing de in his right hand, ready for action. As the door swung open, a middle-aged man stepped out, and before he could react, Charlie dashed in with lightning speed, seizing the man’s neck with his left hand and swiftly shutting the door with his foot.


    This man, already at the peak of the Ming Realm, instinctively tried to retaliate, but Charlie quickly sealed his consciousness with a surge of aura, rendering him immobile, much like Chen, the war king of Wanlong Pce had been.


    Before the man couldprehend the situation, he found himselfpletely immobilized, unable to even blink.


    With this individual subdued, Charlie nned to do the same to the woman in the room next. However, as he stepped inside, he was taken aback to find an elderly man in his fifties or sixties sitting by the bed, adjusting his clothes!


    The elderly man, startled by the sudden intrusion, reached for a pistol on the bedside.


    Charlie hadn’t anticipated the old man’s quick reflexes; he grabbed the gun in an instant.


    Yet, despite the old man’s speed, it paled inparison to Charlie’s. As the elder clutched the firearm, Charlie’s right hand flicked, and a Soul Piercing de shot out with precision!


    With a sharp sound, the old man’s pistol was severed cleanly from the side.


    Shocked by the destruction of his weapon, the old man’s eyes widened, and as he prepared to confront Charlie, he was met with Charlie’s sudden presence as he lunged forward and seized his neck.


    The old man wasn’t an easy opponent either; he clutched Charlie’s wrist with both hands, struggling fiercely.


    Charlie, however, did not flinch. He concentrated his spiritual energy in his grip, tightening his hold as he sneered, “I thought the guy at the peak of the Light Realm outside was the strongest here, but I see now you’re a hidden master of the Third Heaven Realm! Let’s see what you can do!”<h3 ss="has-text-align-center wp-block-heading" id="chapter-list"><strong>Next Chapter</strong>
