Chapter 896: Traitor



Anna didn\'t bother explaining. She gestured with her chin, tilting it slightly, and a group of people on standby nearby rushed forward, forcing Roy down to the floor.

"High Priestess, w-w-what\'s going on?! I haven\'t done anything…!" Roy stammered with a face that showed extreme terror.

Swoosh!

A putrid green flame manifested over Anna\'s palm. As she brought it closer to Roy\'s face, the latter struggled violently against the people around him.

"W-w-wait, stop! What are you doing?!"

The old captain still arranging his clothes upon being summoned from out of nowhere rushed over to Roy with several of his personally recruited crew members following behind him.

He froze upon seeing the green flame over Anna\'s palm, but he quickly regained his composure and said, "I\'m the captain of this ship! I don\'t care what you\'re trying to do here, but you have to stop now!"

Anna\'s right hand moved slightly, and the green flame moved an inch to the right.

The fabric of Roy\'s clothes on his abdomen was singed, and his face contorted in agony as he screamed.

"Stop it! Do you not hear me?!" the old captain roared. He raised his right hand, whipping out his pistol and aiming it at Anna. The crew members behind him made the same move.

Upon seeing that someone was threatening the life of their precious High Priestess, the devotees rushed forward to stand in front of Anna.

A tense air hung above everyone as the situation came to a standstill.

The devotees had no weapons, except for Li Long, who pulled out a dagger from his pocket, but they had the numerical advantage. If things were to go violent, Roger\'s side would definitely lose.

Roger was aware of that as well, but he hadn\'t whipped out his gun to commit suicide. His goal was to secure an escape route. "Give me a lifeboat. I\'m done working with you!"

These people were just pretending to be kind and amiable; they were actually cultists! Roger could still turn a blind eye to the fact that they had the AIS removed, but this one was different… they were trying to kill someone!

Only God knew what they were going to do next, and Roger had no plans of sticking around to find out.

"Captain, you and your men can just return to your quarters. This is a private affair of our congregation. Since you don\'t wish to become one of us, then you\'d better not get involved," Li Lu warned from the side.

"Not get involved? If I don\'t get involved, who can say for sure that I won\'t be next?"

"Heh, do you really think that you can leave this ship alive?" Anna remarked.

The devotees stepped forward in unison.

However, the veteran captain Roger remained completely calm in the face of Anna\'s threat. "We\'re in international waters. There is no way you can sail this ship without me and my crew. Kill us all, and all of you are going to die as well."

"Don\'t be so sure of yourself. It\'s just sailing a ship—I actually have that knowledge in my memories. Plus, I can just turn on the AIS and contact the coast guard using the satellite phone."

"No way you\'re going to do that. A ship full of cultists… you\'re obviously not out here just to party. You\'re definitely planning on doing something illegal, and if you\'re willing to be rescued in the first place, you wouldn\'t have had the AIS disabled when we set sail," Roger replied.

"Haaa, you\'re really boring. I hate boring people the most," Anna remarked.

Just as she was about to make a move, Roy rushed forward and stood between them. He turned to Roger and said, "Captain, can you let me handle this issue myself? There must be some kind of misunderstanding here, so please just go back to your quarters."

Then, Roy turned to Anna and anxiously asked, "High Priestess, can you tell me why? Why do you want to kill me?"

Anna\'s gaze moved slowly from the old captain to Roy.

Roy looked completely innocent; he was just like any other devotee.

Anna compared Roy\'s eye with the eye that she had seen in her dream. Actually, Anna was not a hundred percent certain that the eye belonged to Roy. She\'d only seen one eye, after all.

However, Anna believed that just a bit of doubt was enough for her to make a move. In addition, she wasn\'t really a Mary Sue, so there was no need for her to worry about harming an innocent individual.

"You\'re still keeping this act up? Fine, since you\'re so devoted to your act, then prove your innocence through your death. It\'s better that way. The misunderstanding between Captain Roger and me won\'t escalate as well."

Roy\'s pupils constricted into needle points at Anna\'s suggestion, and his voice quavered as he replied, "But High Priestess... I can\'t die yet. My daughter hasn\'t been saved yet. I have to bring her back to life.

"It\'s my life\'s mission, and I must complete it."

"Sure. I\'ll resurrect your daughter even if you\'re already dead. Do it now," Anna said, leaving Roy with no way out.

"Go ahead. There are so many witnesses here, so would I really go back on my word?"

The old captain saw Roy\'s hesitation, and his beard trembled as he was about to say something. Before he could open his mouth to speak, however, Roy made up his mind.

Roy pulled out a crumpled piece of paper from his pocket and held it out to Anna with trembling hands. The piece of paper contained the portrait of a young girl.

"High Priestess, this is what my daughter looks like," Roy sounded extremely reluctant as he said, "Her name is Stewart[1]. I won\'t be here to witness her resurrection, so please make sure you resurrect the right person."

Anna accepted the paper, and Roy looked as if he had finally accomplished his final task in life. He grabbed the dagger in Li Long\'s hand and aimed it at his own chest.

"Please send her to my ex-wife\'s home. Her phone number, and her address are still in my phone."

The young girl in the drawing was adorable, and an innocent smile tugged at her lips. The sight of her made Anna remember her own daughter—Sparkle.

Roy pressed the dagger into his chest, and his blood instantly stained his shirt. He had to be in agony, but he showed no pain. Instead, a relieved smile suffused his lips.

"My dear daughter, you have a sinful father. I died inside a long time ago. If my death will allow me to atone for my sins, then it would be… great."

Roy\'s sincere smile caught Anna\'s attention—the paternal love in his smile was so pure and sincere. As a mother herself, Anna could tell that the emotion in Roy\'s eyes was absolutely genuine.

Roy pressed harder with his hand, and his face instantly went pallid as a copious amount of blood splattered onto the deck.

Just as Roy was about to drive the dagger into his heart, Anna crumpled the paper in her hand and threw it at his feet. "Enough, you\'ve proven your innocence. Doctor, come here and treat him."

1. I\'m sure you\'ve seen Roy shouting the word Mia in Chapter 889, but it seems Roy settled on Stewart as the final name of his daughter ☜
