Chapter 178 Miss Jenkins, What Brings You Here?

The lights on this cruise ship weren’t as bright and colourful as those on others, but it was the largest of them all, towering five stories high, completely dwarfing the rest.

Even while it was docked, it commanded attention effortlessly.

People started boarding gradually, their steps steady and their attire understated. They were all men, giving off the impression they were the ship’s crew rather than passengers here for leisure.

The cruise ship began to move around ten o’clock, gliding slowly towards the centre of the river.

In the concert hall, soft instrumental music played; overly cautious Jasiel hadn’t even hired a band or a pianist. Besides the Dark Shadow’s people, everyone on board was under his command.

Yet Josh still felt uneasy.

On the fourth deck, in a luxurious inner cabin, Jasiel sat opposite two people.

Josh picked up a bottle of red wine, opened it, and poured a glass for each of them.

“Take your time. I’ll go check things outside,” he said to them.

Setting the wine down, Josh left the inner cabin, closing the door behind him.

He began to inspect each deck methodically. “Stay sharp and alert! Don’t miss a thing!” he ordered.

“Yes, Sir!” the well–trained bodyguards responded, patrolling each layer of the ship.

None of them noticed an extra person on board.

A petite figure had somehow slipped on unnoticed, moving through the ship’s every corner like a ghost, silent and unseen.
