Chapter 195 (1): Cream Cake is Good
November twenty-fifth, night.
The cruise ship arrived at the Dulin Port of the Republic of Erland. Dulin[1] was the capital and the largest city of the republic, as well as the second biggest city in the Windsor Federation, second only to Londan. It had a rich history and culture, with a mild climate and beautiful scenery, making it a popular tourist destination.
Unfortunately, Wayne’s group was here to carry out the Queen’s secret order. Dulin’s scenery, no matter how picturesque, had nothing to do with them.
They caught a luxury train from Dulin to Fawst[2]. Originally, both Erland and Northern Erland belonged to the federation, so they were connected by railway, allowing for easy entrance and exit.
Fawst, a well-known port city in Northern Erland, boasted a well-developed system of maritime transport. Setting out from Liuerpul, the group could’ve traveled to the port city directly. However, Wayne insisted on going through the Dulin Port before taking a train to Northern Erland.
Since he was the leader of the investigation team, he had the final say. He shut down any opposition with the excuse that they should be wary of the Snow family’s ambush. And he wasn’t wrong. The Snow family had made a move, as proven by the purposeful damage of the cruise ship.
In the high-end dining car, Wayne was enjoying a late-night snack with Vera cutting up the cake for him on his left, and Mona wiping his mouth with a silk handkerchief on his right. He gently stirred the wine in his glass, feeling like his life had peaked.
Sitting across from him was Veronica. She scowled so hard that it looked as if the whole world owed her money. He knew that Mona and Vera were doing it on purpose, hiding their laughter while pushing Veronica to lose her temper.
He had just collected the obelisk and sent it away through Shadow Nightmare while they disembarked from the ship to board the train. With the primary target of the trip achieved, he was content enough to want some entertainment.
The Queen’s secret order was important, and the Snow family did deserve a justified raid. However, riches came in different levels; compared to the obelisk, the Snow family was worth nothing. Once he arrived, he would give them an official statement and consider his job done.
Before that, he got to enjoy the entertaining show the three women put on.
“Wayne, the cream cake is so good!”
