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.

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

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