A Powerful Child Searches for Dad Episode 33

With the appearance of the massive hull, fierce waves filled the entire pier.

Tie turned her head and narrowed her brow.

“…Ugh. The villain is here again.”

Standing at a dizzying height supporting the mast was Cal.

He looked down below and smiled wickedly.

“You’re not planning to siege the Mastone on your own, are you? Just in case, I’m telling you that I already called dibs on that!”

“That’s right! Give up on the Mastone! The first conqueror of the Mastone that rose from the sea will be our Lord Cal!”

It was when the 【Death Hound】 mercenaries all chimed in and burst into provocative laughter.

“I didn’t ask and don’t care, so why are you being like this…”

Tie muttered with a sullen face.

Several 【Death Hound】 mercenaries flinched.

Because “I didn’t ask and don’t care” sounded exactly like an incantation.

But in the meantime, Tie placed her hand on her waist and looked up at the large ship.

“Fine! Work hard! Ugly Cal!”

At being called “ugly,” veins bulged on Cal’s forehead.

However, Tie continued speaking.

“This Commander King will specially yield that Mastone to ugly you!”

Murmurs spread among the 【Death Hound】 mercenaries.

That was because they naturally thought Agabelt would participate in the Mastone siege.

But she was going to yield the Mastone to Death Hound?

“You do it all! Of course, I would have liked it if ugly you sank gurgling under the sea! But if you siege the Mastone, it would actually be good! The townspeople will be happy!!”

Cal’s hand gripping the mast trembled slightly.

‘That brat, is she mocking me right now?’

Otherwise, how could she speak with such a tone?

Yet her expression was serious and solemn, which somehow made it even more infuriating.

Cal forced a twisted smile and retorted.

“You were acting all tough. Are you scared after all? Is your mercenary group only that much, huh?!”

“That’s right! How did you know!”

But once again, an unexpected answer came back.

The Commander King was somehow very confidently scratching her head.

“We only have four members so far! So if a monster that looks like a Tyrannosaurus comes out, it’s a bit scary!”

“…”

“But ugly you have many members, so you’ll be fine! Looking at it now, your ship is very cool too! Fighting!”

Cal’s expression became blank.

While he was at a loss for words looking down at the Commander King, she turned away from him without a moment’s hesitation.

As if she had no more interest in Cal whatsoever.

Then she said “See you later~!” to Basto and Veil and warmly took the magistrate’s hand.

“Magistrate~ Let’s go to Dominion Hall without getting rained on~?”

It was the complete opposite of how she had acted toward him.

‘That was acting…?’

If so, wasn’t she truly, genuinely a creepily insane brat.

“L-Leader. What should we do?”

Vice-leader Recar whispered from beside him.

Cal trembled as he stared at the Commander King’s back of the head, then spat out through gritted teeth.

“Leave her be. From our standpoint, there’s nothing to regret.”

“Then the operation you mentioned earlier…?”

“That proceeds as planned.”

Cal’s gaze shifted from the Commander King to Basto.

Basto was busily maintaining the helm on a ship smaller than the one Cal had bought.

“…Annoying bastard. This time I’ll definitely kill him.”

He had given him several chances, but it was Basto who ignored them.

If he had swallowed his pride and obediently followed him, it wouldn’t have come to this.

“After the sun sets, proceed as instructed.”

Cal planned to kill Basto while taking advantage of the chaos.

If Basto died, Agabelt and the Commander King wouldn’t escape major damage either, so it was killing two birds with one stone.

‘That guy mainly worked as a front-line combatant.’

Front-line combatants are very important human resources for mercenary groups.

Moreover, if a newly formed mercenary group lost such resources, the loss would be enormous.

“It’s actually better since the Commander King won’t be there to interfere.”

All preparations were already complete.

Watching Basto weighing anchor, Cal smirked.

“What the hell are those bastards doing?”

Veil, who was gripping the railing of the swaying hull, frowned.

Through the fierce wind and rain, he could see a massive ship following behind them at regular intervals.

A sailor beside him answered.

“I’m not sure. Since they said they’d siege the Mastone when the rift opens, maybe it’s preliminary reconnaissance?”

“Then they should go near the Mastone to do that, so why are they following our tail? It’s not like they’re dogs that need to shit!”

When the sailors glanced at him nervously due to Veil’s irritated voice, Basto spoke from beside them.

“Don’t worry about it, Veil. Our goal is the magistrate’s two sons.”

He was busily looking around while gripping the wheel.

“You keep securing the surrounding visibility. Mr. Mactaren and Mr. Jin, please check if there are any rescue signals coming in.”

The sailors moved busily.

The ship they were on had been slowly circling the Pearl City coastline for a while now.

This was to check if the ship carrying Raul and Enzo had perhaps docked at some secluded coastline.

But there were no traces of Raul and Enzo anywhere.

“Just in case… look for bodies too.”

Veil nodded without answering.

‘If they’re dead, they would have already drifted away.’

Still, he planned to make as much effort as possible for the magistrate who was desperately searching for his children.

“For now, there’s nothing visible nearby. I’d like to check the back too…”

Veil, who had been muttering, spat out more curses.

“Damn bastards, where the hell did they get such a ridiculously big ship?! Instead of being helpful, it’s blocking all the view!”

“From what I can roughly see, they seem to have bought an entire passenger ship. One ship owner fled first thing this morning. It might be that guy’s ship…”

“This is driving me crazy, really. I already can’t see because of the weather, and that ship is blocking the view…”

Veil, unable to bear it anymore, huffed and headed somewhere.

He climbed up a rope to the stern, then shouted loudly toward Cal’s pursuing ship.

“Get lost! Just get lost-!!”

Then he heard some kind of response from the other side.

But Veil didn’t even try to listen to what it was and flew into a rage.

“What are you babbling about-! Just get lost from behind us! Move aside! Can’t you hear me telling you to move aside right now, huh?!”

Then he pointed to his left, toward the sea where the Mastone had risen.

“Seriously, are you blind?! Your destination is over there! Over there at the Mastone…”

At that moment, Veil closed his mouth.

Veil, who had frozen for a moment, came down from the stern with a serious expression and began climbing up the mast this time.

His expression became blank when he reached the watchtower.

Soon, breaking through the silence, Veil shouted down below.

“Basto! It’s the Mastone!”

Basto frowned and raised his head.

The sailors also stared at Veil as if asking what was so surprising about that, but,

“There’s a ship anchored to the Mastone! The current over there is so strong it’s about to be swept away!!”

Finally understanding the situation, Basto quickly turned the wheel.

A sailor beside him who had secured vision with a telescope shouted.

“It’s, it’s true! I can’t see clearly because of the waves, but there really is something attached to the Mastone! Something like a small fishing boat…!”

Veil came down from the mast.

When he turned his head, Cal’s ship was also following Basto’s ship, having changed direction.

Veil muttered.

“Basto. Don’t those bastards seem a bit strange?”

“What do you mean.”

“Something feels off. The way they’re following behind us too.”

“I know.”

“Sunset will begin soon. If the sun sets like this…”

Basto’s expression darkened.

As Veil said, once sunset began, the Mastone’s cracks would open.

Then all sorts of bizarre monsters would come pouring out from within.

Since this was his first time with a Mastone at sea, he couldn’t easily predict what kind of monsters would emerge from it.

“Shouldn’t we run away right now? From what I can see, this…”

“You said you were two years old. When you got separated from your parents.”

Veil closed his mouth.

“Our Lilia never spent a single day apart from me until she turned seven. Not even once.”
