Black Sail

The registration was very successful.

This mission was too confidential, which is why they sought an outsider—a Hall-level adventurer, Thousand-Armed Shura, and Chuan Che—for secrecy and a reliable assistant. It was also to have someone else take the blame in case of exposure; he was the mastermind, thereby preventing hostilities with the Emperor. In a strict sense, the Dragon Lady was considered personal property stolen from the Emperor.

Of course, Chuan Che himself was unaware of Lostra’s malevolent intentions.

The Dragon Seeking Team came from the official intelligence department of Lostra, headed by a woman named Celeste, as arranged subtly by the higher-ups.

Perhaps considering the need to kidnap the Dragon Girl, having a maternal aura seemed more reliable.

But that did not mean Celeste was just a figurehead.

Celeste and her team were rigorously selected from Lostra’s secret departments, never having revealed themselves to the outside world; Celeste was the leader of a newly established special group.

Trained in Lostra’s modern methods, whether in written exams or practical assessments, Celeste was a standout performer, having delivered perfect results in several political assassination missions.

She had black hair cut above the ears, deep blue eyes, and a slender figure. Her tightly fitting clothes under the cloak were slightly provocative. She might seem like an innocent from Heaven, but she was more terrifying than a billion murderers.

As a professional, the first step naturally involved assessing the environment of the task and the discrepancies in the intelligence.

Obviously, it was damn far off; the data had indicated that Black Sail was merely a notorious violent gang in the East Sea, but now it seemed they had set up a stage, supported by the veteran Turbid River Dragon and local bigwigs, with allies everywhere, flourishing like the midday sun.
