Chapter 274: Warlord Ganon
It was deep into the night with only a sliver of a moon overhead providing little light over the deck of the Neptune as the entire crew awaited their captain.
“He’s late.”
“He’s been in there with that woman, Xenia. Wouldn’t you be late too?”
Several of the crew members chuckled until one chimed in, “Tiber plans to have his cake and eat it too. He’s having his cake at present but mark my words he has not forgotten about our true purpose here.”
Within the captain’s suite, Tiber awoke regaining consciousness after being smothered into submission by Xenia hours earlier. He groggily shook his head recalling the events that led up to his current predicament.
He then turned to look at a sleeping Xenia as he thought, “Who is she? She is a problem.”
Tiber would have normally lied to himself claiming the two of them to be equal in strength and power; however, the gap between them was so large that it pained him to know he couldn’t simply hide from the truth behind a veil of denial. Xenia was much much stronger than he.
As he dressed, he eyed Xenia like a hawk while in thought, “I can’t have a monster like that looming over me on my ship. A monster like that would eventually kill me and take what she wants. She must go. But how? Ask her nicely? Hope she moves on by her own accord?”
He growled lowly to himself and said, “A problem for another time. I am late.”
