Chapter 835 Accurate Prediction

Everyone stared at Arthur with wide-eyed eyes. Even Casper and Nia who were standing not far away raised their eyebrows in puzzlement. How could he choose to wait when Lucia's life was at stake every second?

Arthur lowered his head and took a gentle look at the sleeping baby before raising his head to explain to everyone.

"Spencer may have lost his mind, but Dan is not. He is also a special soldier. His occupation makes him calmer the more he is in such a critical moment. He knows that he is now on the high seas. There won't be land for hundreds of nautical miles around, and such a blind escape will only destroy everything, so the only way out is..."

It was self-evident what Arthur meant when he said this. Everyone's eyes lit up instantly, and everyone guessed what he meant.

"Immediately ask the captain to send a message to all the crew members. Pay attention to the situation on the sea surface, and report to us immediately if any abnormalities are found!" Otis decisively issued an order to his subordinates.

"Arthur, let me take care of the baby, so you will save Lucia with all your heart." Infused with infinite hope by Arthur's words, Sophie reached out to take the baby, and her words were full of expectations for Arthur.

Arthur nodded solemnly, and then met Casper and his men standing not far away.

"Mr. Wood, there are supplies on board. You can leave first." Arthur said to Casper.

Now it was all too clear who was in the driver's seat between Casper and Nia.

Nia glanced at Casper, and when she was just about to respond to Arthur's words, she heard him say,

"No, we'll stay together too, if we can help a little."

Nia immediately frowned.

Arthur glanced at Casper lightly, noncommittal, and Casper went on to say,

"I have to trouble you to let go of my ignorant subordinates, and I will keep them under control."

"Okay," Arthur finally agreed, but he still warned, "But if you have any ideas, you'd better communicate with me in advance, and don't act recklessly."

After speaking, he deliberately glanced at Nia who immediately lowered her head guiltily.

"With me here, that kind of thing won't happen again." Casper glanced sideways at Nia who was full of guilt, and agreed to Arthur seriously. Arthur just nodded and went back to the meeting room. As soon as Arthur and his men left the deck, Nia couldn't wait to question Casper.

"You still said that you have nothing to do with Lucia! Now that you are safe and sound, why do you want to stay here?!"

Casper turned his head to look at Nia. His eyes were full of sternness. Nia's heart skipped a beat, and she pursed her lips a little timidly.

"Arthur has said Spencer will take the initiative to come to him to negotiate again. I must stay."

"Why?"

"Because Spencer already knows my real identity." Casper said in a deep voice.

"What?!" Nia's eyes were rounded, and her eyebrows were raised high. "How could it be..."

Thinking of the mistakes he made in front of Spencer at that time, Casper was upset and irritable. He didn't want to explain too much, but just said to Nia,Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

"I'm not sure if he's already told Lucia about it, so I have to stay and make sure, and if he hasn't, then..."

After he said that, a cold light flashed in Casper's eyes.

Nia felt a chill in her heart, stared at Casper and couldn't speak anymore.

A few hours later, there was a ray of morning light in the sky, and soon, the warm sun like an egg yolk gradually emerged from the sea. At first glance, it seemed that it had just risen from the bottom of the sea, and the surroundings were dripping with light like water mist. It looked very warm, but under the warm sun, the sea was still extremely cold.

In the conference room, Arthur, Otis, and Brown family's three siblings were sitting by the conference table. Everyone seemed to be calm and concentrated, but in fact they were tense and no one dared to relax for a moment.

"Arthur, judging by the time, they should have arrived." Seeing the sunlight coming in through the window, Otis turned his head and said to Arthur.

"No one has issued an early warning yet. Dan's ability cannot be underestimated." Arthur said in a deep voice.

"Lucia is still in their hands. Arthur, have you figured out what to do?" Reynolds asked Arthur.

Arthur shook his head frankly, but without the slightest hesitation, he continued,

"Now I can only conclude that they will definitely board the ship. Dan's behavior is treacherous. I don't know what his plans are. But as long as Lucia shows up, I will definitely not let anything happen to her!" Arthur put his life on it!

When they heard Arthur's words, everyone's morale surged in their hearts, and Helena almost jumped up. She said excitedly,

"Okay, take things as they come. We will wait for them to come forward!"

Just as Arthur and the others were talking, as they expected, Dan did sneak aboard the freighter with Spencer and Lucia, and they had been dormant for a long time.

In the dim computer room, the roar of the machine kept ringing in their ears. Spencer, who had always been pampered, hated such a humid and dirty environment very much. He couldn't help asking Dan, "How long are we going to stay here? Since we've already boarded the ship, wouldn't it be better to ask them directly to make an offer?"

Dan gave Spencer half of the bread he just stole. He paused when he heard his complaint, but he replied patiently,

"Now we're just boarding the ship safely, but once we show up, Arthur's reaction is completely unpredictable. What if he's already prepared for everything and just waits to catch the turtle?"

"If you don't know how to use idioms, don't use them indiscriminately," Spencer said angrily, "Who is the turtle?"

Dan lowered his eyes and did not raise an argument with Spencer. He handed the other half of the bread to Lucia who hadn't said a word until now.

"Let's eat something."

When she opened her eyes, the light in her eyes was like the sunshine suddenly appearing in the sky. Even though the redness and swelling on her face did not disappear, Lucia was still charming. She glanced at the bread in Dan's hand and shook her head slightly.

"Don't give her food!" Spencer didn't intend to stop Dan from giving Lucia food, but after seeing her refusal, he became angry for no reason. He grabbed the half of the bread and said sharply, "Give her strength and she only thinks about how to harm us!"

Lucia curled her lips lightly when she heard the words, and looked at Spencer as if saying: just as long as you know.

Spencer became even more angry, and raised his hand again in the next second, but this time the slap did not fall immediately, because Lucia had closed her eyes again. As if she had put away all her perceptions, she turned her attention to the outside world. Everything and him were kept out of her heart.

Spencer gritted his teeth and took a few breaths, and finally withdrew his hand embarrassingly.
