Chapter 1763


    Her breathy voice was pleasant to the ears, making one feel at ease.


    She stood beside Thea, and the sea breeze tousled her long hair.


    Maxine stretched out her slender fingers to tidy up her long chestnut-colored hair that was blown by the


    wind. She looked into the distance and sighed. “I hope you don’t resent me.”


    “I don’t resent you.”


    Thea was expressionless and replied very calmly.


    Although she did not show any emotion, her tone was very cold and sounded very distant.


    “Haah.”


    Maxine sighed.


    She knew Thea was angry with her.

    After all, her interference caused so many unexpected situations.


    “I didn’t expect James’ love for you to be so deep. After searching a year for you and learning you were


    alive without your memories, he traveled this vast ocean to investigate the dragon’s whereabouts. I,


    too, – hope that James is still alive.”


    “I’m a little tired. I’ll head back inside to rest.”


    Thea turned around and left.


    Maxine’s words about hoping James was alive had struck a nerve.


    Thea could not resist the sadness welling up in her chest.


    As she turned around, crystal-clear teardrops fell from her eyes.


    Maxine stood at the ship deck and remorsefully watched Thea leave.


    The cruise ship continued chugging on rapidly.


    In the blink of an eye, three days had passed.


    They finally reached their destination.


    Although it would only take one day by air, it took them three whole days to travel via a cruise ship.


    At that moment, many people gathered on the cruise ship’s deck.


    Standing in the front was Sky.


    He nced at the many inds before them and said excitedly, “It’s over there! It’s that ind over


    there! James and I got off the ne on that ind. The nended there, and we chose to head to


    the ind where the Dragon’s Abyss was located by boat.”


    The cruise ship slowly docked and stopped at one of the ind’s coastlines.


    The crowd gathered together and began to discuss their n.


    Thea said, “The cruise ship will be docked here. Unless absolutely necessary, it’s forbidden to get


    anywhere close to the Dragon’s Abyss, nor are we to use lethal high-tech weapons.


    “We’ll take the boats avable on the cruise ship to the Dragon’s Abyss.


    “Any objections?”


    Thea scanned the crowd.


    “No.” Everyone spoke in unison.


    “Good.”


    Thea continued. “I hope everyone will work together to y the dragon when the timees. After it’s


    dead, everyone will get an equal share of the spoils. I hope it doesn’t end up simr to the fight that


    ensued when everyone was trying to snatch the Spirit Turtle’s core.”


    No one objected, as splitting the spoils equally was the best oue.


    Ultimately, they would each have to rely on their own strength to make off with their own share of the


    spoils that were not divided equally.


    After a brief discussion, everyone boarded the boats loaded on the cruise ship, and headed to the


    ind where the Dragon’s Abyss was located.


    The boats were rtively small, and each could only amodate three to four people.


    Thea and Thomas were in the same boat.


    On the way to the Dragon’s Abyss, Thomas chided her, “Thea you’re too naive. Although they seem to


    be listening to you right now, it’ll all change the moment the dragon is dead. Everyone will inevitably get


    into an intense battle over the spoils.”


    Thea was well aware of that.


    However, as their leader, she must ensure their safe return no matter what.


    She looked at Thomas and said pleadingly, “Grandpa, I won’t be able to control the others, but I hope


    you don’t harm anyone over the dragon’s spoils.”
