Chapter 564: City of Desire – Part 3
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
The headquarters of the Black Owl was in a place called the “City of Desire.”
And this “City of Desire” was not on the mainland but existed as a constantly moving “city” on the sea.
Each delivery required at least three or more transfers at sea before reaching that place.
The person they captured was escorting “goods” to the City of Desire for the first time this year, but he didn’t know the specifics. Only the highest-ranking person on this ship would know.
But that person had already been dealt with by Qin Lu.
So now they had cut off another lead to finding the headquarters of the Black Owl organization.
Qin Lu rubbed his forehead with his hand, “My miscalculation.”
Who knew that he would leave the wrong person alive?
Nan Yan sighed softly, seeing Qin Lu blaming himself, she suppressed her helplessness and comforted him, “It’s okay, let’s continue our investigation.” After all, they still had time.
Qin Lu apologetically patted Nan Yan’s head, about to say something when Wu Yue’s voice came through the earpiece:
“Young Master, there’s an airplane approaching our location.”
“It’s expected to fly over the cruise ship in half an hour.”
Nan Yan had a sudden idea. She turned to Qin Lu, suggesting, “Brother, why don’t we set a trap for them? I doubt these guys are familiar with every member of the Black Owl organization, particularly those of lower rank on this cruise ship.”
She continued, “What if you portray yourself as the sole survivor who managed to escape, and I’ll assume the role of your sister? Given their current shortage of ‘goods,’ they’ll likely take me, allowing us to board that plane and gather more information. Maybe we could even gain access to the City of Desire.”
While Qin Lu had concerns about Nan Yan’s safety, especially considering her good looks, he eventually relented and agreed. They began preparing a small rescue boat to create the illusion of escape.
Waving and signaling to the plane above, they caught Li Si’s attention and successfully boarded the plane.
Nan Yan immediately acted according to plan, portraying herself as a distressed young woman, tears streaming down her face as she recounted the fear they felt when the entire cruise ship was suddenly seized.
She explained that Qin Lu, her brother, was a member of the Black Owl organization. He was the sole Black Owl organization survivor to escape and bring her along with him.
All they desired now was safety, and they expressed immense gratitude to Li Si for coming to their rescue.
Observing Nan Yan’s tearful state and her captivating beauty, Li Si was immediately drawn to her, paying little heed to any suspicions regarding Qin Lu’s affiliation with the Black Owl organization..
