My Beautiful Disciples, I'm really not the Main Character!-Chapter 655: King’s Clan
A grand ship, that looked like it was made for the seas, was flying through the clouds at a speed that seemed to defy the laws of nature.
At the moment, the ship was loaded with such precious items that even a large clan of the upper realm could only dream to possess a fraction of them.
The ship was no different than a portable Merchant Union Branch, with heavy security deployed to protect the items. Despite the heavy security, someone had managed to sneak inside without getting detected.
Within a servant's room, a middle aged man was lying on the ground. His hands and legs were tied with ropes. Even his mouth was closed to ensure that he couldn't scream and call for help.
Just to be safe, Eren had also created a small formation to isolate the servant so that even his thoughts couldn't leave this small space.
The other of this room was lying on the ground, while an intruder was sitting on the bed comfortably.
The man looked teary eyed, even a little scared for his life. The man had suddenly jumped on him the moment he entered the room. He couldn't even resist and was instantly knocked out.
'Is he going to kill me? I don't want to die! If I die, who will take care of my seven wives?' His biggest fear was regarding his life.
He didn't care about the other intentions of the intruder. Even if he was here to steal something from the ship, he couldn't care less. He only wanted to live.
Fortunately for him, the intruder didn't seem to have any intentions to take his life. He was just sitting on the bed, comfortably sipping on a wine without the slightest care in the world.
"Do you want to live?" Eren asked the man, who repeatedly nodded his head.
"I will give you one opportunity to live. I will free your mouth. If you try to scream, then you will die before your voice can leave this time. I'm certain you won't do something so fruitless, right?" frёeweɓηovel.coɱ
Eren kept the wine glass aside, and waved his hand. The servant's mouth was freed. The clothing strip tied around his mouth was sliced by an invisible force and he was able to cough out the socks that were shocked in his mouth.
He coughed repeatedly and a sock drenched with his saliva fell out.
"I thought... I was going to die." The man breathed heavily. He didn't try to scream or yell, even though the thought did cross his mind. He didn't want to test the reality behind Eren's warnings. He loved his head a little too much.
"What do you want from me?" he asked the young man after catching his breath. "If you want me to help you steal from the ship, then you found the wrong person. The treasures are stored at the depths, and they are surrounded by formations that can even injure a demigod!"
"Treasures that are being protected by such fierce formations? Did I underestimate this unknown guest of the Merchant Union?"
Eren knew that he was accompanying someone powerful, but even he didn't expect the ship to be carrying things that required such an extent of protection.
"You don't have to worry. I have no interest in your treasures for now, much less if they are under such protection. I only want to rest in this place until I get far enough from the city."
"You... You snuck inside because you wanted a ride?" The middle-aged man weirdly looked at Eren. He had thought of many scenarios. He had guessed what might be the motives of this man, but he never expected something like this.
The man subconsciously grabbed his hair. He was almost on the verge of pulling his hair out in disbelief. The man had snuck inside a treasure trove, because he wanted a ride to the next city?
"Are you an idiot?" That's what he wanted to ask the man, but he didn't have the courage to upset the person that could kill him. He only said these words to Eren in his imagination.
"Do you know who the owner of this Ship is? Or where are we even going?" he asked.
"That's what I wanted to ask you. Isn't that I freed your mouth?" Eren picked up the glass of wine, and gestured for the man to begin his explanation.
There was only one problem. The things that the man told him were something that he truly hadn't expected before boarding the ship. However, even if he knew it, he would have still done the same thing as it was an emergency.
The middle aged man told him everything, even the things that Eren didn't ask. According to him, the ship belonged to the Merchant Union Headquarters, and currently, it had the Union Leader's precious daughter on board.
The most shocking thing was the destination of the ship. The ship wasn't en route to some wealthy buyer of the Merchant Union. It wasn't even going to some Ancient Family for some kind of celebration.
The ship had only one destination. Before it reached that destination, it was not going to stop in any city. The city from where Eren had climbed, was the last stop in this ship's destination.
"Are you saying that the ship is only going to stop at that place?" Eren asked as his expressions kept becoming worse.
He had learned some things from the memories of Arcadia Heir when he had killed and left a fragment of his soul to control the body of that person.
As the man belonged to an Ancient Clan, he knew a lot of things that ordinary people couldn't know. And the information about this destination was a small yet impactful part of that information.
The present destination of the Merchant Union was a Clan that was called the enemy of the entire Upper Realm. It was comparable to the Ancient Clans that ruled over the Upper World, but it was even more frightening to some aspects.
There was even a time when that single clan ruled over the entire Upper World. Even though their influence had significantly waned after their downfall, they were still called the King's Clan.
