Chapter 35 The So-Called [Traitor]
Whether Chen Qing had really discovered the surveillance creature or had unwittingly put the surveillance creature into use,
in any case, Jerome’s plans had been foiled.
Jerome had become extremely vigilant regarding Chen Qing; at the same time, his suspicions about Daliya had significantly deepened.
He felt that the child with Chen Qing must be Moana’s daughter.
But... the inherently skeptical Jerome couldn’t help but wonder, had Chen Qing intentionally left Daliya out in the open, allowing her to come and go at the docks, as a deliberate decoy?
Jerome wouldn’t act rashly without absolute certainty.
While he was keeping an eye on Chen Qing, there were also many people watching him.
He could kidnap Daliya, but once he did that, all the forces of Moana’s camp would turn their weapons against him.
His own "allies" would also trip him up.

Among the younger pirates, he seemed a bit out of his league.
