Chapter 74: Eye of the Storm
The ocean was just as breathtaking as ever. An endless expanse of blue stretched out in every direction, its waves rising and falling in a calm, rhythmic dance. Sunlight sparkled across the water's surface, turning it into a living mirror of silver and sapphire. Beneath the surface, marine life swam gracefully – schools of fish, gliding stingrays, and the occasional shadow of something larger disappearing into the depths.
VRRRMMM!
A sleek, silver motorboat roared across the water, jolting forward like a bullet from a gun. It sliced through the sea with a smooth, predatory elegance, sending twin fans of white spray arching behind it. The engine's deep growl reverberated across the waves, a mechanical heartbeat amidst nature's calm.
There were two people aboard.
Yami Utsuro–
–standing at the front of the boat, scanning the horizon with narrowed eyes.
And behind him–
–the mysterious man known only as The Magician, hands on the wheel, calmly steering their course.
Yami's gaze swept the endless ocean, expecting – something. A sign. A landmark. Anything.
But there was nothing. Just sea and sky.
Frustrated, Yami turned toward the driver.
