Hands

Inside the cramped bathroom, a white mist rises.

Jiang Luo quickly finished his shower, but was slow to bother with that spot. Only when he had to face it did he take a deep breath and bend over, bracing himself against the wall.

It's a shameful thing.

Jiang Luo felt that he was at least an adult, and should not damage his body for such embarrassing trivialities. He tried his best to keep his emotions calm and clean himself up without any expression.

In the thick fog of water, the hot air lingers, half hidden.

The wind blows away some of the white mist, revealing a young man with a slightly curved spine.

The young man's body was long and beautiful, with smooth and athletic curves, like a big cat waiting to strike. His black hair was divided into several strands by the current at his shoulders, like wild and mysterious climbing vines in a mountainous forest.

Yet the youth grunted, and his cheeks were stained red, but he was doing something to make one's face blush.

Jiang Luo is trying to finish up quickly, but he suddenly stops moving.

He turned his head slowly, the tails of his eyes sweeping across the bathroom.

He seemed to sense another sight that made him uncomfortable. But after looking around in the haze, Jiang Luo couldn't find anything wrong. He squinted suspiciously, wondering if some dog had slipped in, but thinking of Yin Hu crouching in the doorway, Jiang Luo was relieved.

With Yin Hu watching, it's still safe.

Jiang Luo turned around and adjusted the hot water to a higher temperature. The steaming mist became more intense in an instant, and to prevent accidents, Jiang Luo laughed softly as he propped himself back up against the wall, deliberately saying, "Haters shouldn't be able to peek at haters taking a bath, should they?"

"Or does someone become my go-to dog just because they rolled in bed with me?"

The dark-haired youth smiled lazily.

After saying that, he waited and waited, but did not wait for anything different. Jiang Luo nodded in satisfaction and continued to take a bath.

On the ship, there's a room that's being heavily guarded.

Outside the door is a fully equipped police force, while inside the door there are only four walls. The walls are thickened and there are no windows, which is the true meaning of not a fly can get in.

Inside the house, Lisa sits in a chair, shifting her legs in boredom.

Suddenly, Lisa's wobbly little legs stopped and she yelled toward the metal door, "Hey, hey, hey, someone's coming in!"

Such a big commotion outside but it was as if the people outside couldn't hear it. Lisa jumped out of her chair in a hurry, "These humans are really useless."

The gap between the wall and the floor slowly bubbled out of the black fog, the black fog from the corners of the wall to the wall crawling, in the blink of an eye climbed to the ceiling, slowly blocking the last trace of light, forming a cage of black fog.

Lisa Seeing that it was too late to yell for someone, she sighed heavily and dutifully returned to her chair.

A man stepped out of the black mist.

The sound of leather shoes on the ground and the sound of footsteps mixed with treachery. Suit pants are tailored with a premium texture.

The jeweled red cufflinks flashed, and the man who was by no means human revealed himself in full, his mouth curled in an easy, delightful smile as if he were on his way to an opulent invitation.

The moment this man appeared, Lisa's cold hairs instantly exploded, and the sense of crisis was raised to an unprecedented height. She abruptly ran from the side of the chair to the corner cabinet, poking out a head and said, "Who are you?"

The man walked slowly to the chair and sat down, his long legs folded, his arms propped up on the armrests, his hands intertwined. Lisa sat up the large chair underneath him but it looked sketchy, "I ah ...... don't you already know?"

Lisa frowned and stepped out from behind the locker, "So you're the one who was on me on the boat."

While aboard the Angonese, Lisa sensed she was being watched by someone. The other side was too powerful, too well hidden, and not in a good mood. That's why Lisa wants to rush ashore and get ahead of her plan.

While planning the candidate to protect her from the ship, she senses that something is not right with the first mate. Lisa concludes that the person inside the First Mate's body is the one who is targeting her, and that she is also targeting Jiang Luo because she saw how Jiang Luo overpowered the First Mate at the ball.

This human must be able to protect her from being found since he was able to suppress this unknown and terrible thing, right?

But Lisa didn't realize that Jiang Luo wasn't that easy to fool either.

Chagrined at the thought, Lisa boldly said, "What do you want?"

The corners of the man's mouth lifted, shadows jumping across the bridge of his nose, his face perfect in the dimness, mysterious and fascinating.

But while he was clearly smiling, Lisa always had the feeling that he wasn't in a very good mood, and felt like she was going to be killed at the drop of a hat.

She was even more nervous inside.

"I'm here to give Ms. Lisa a choice."

Crossed slender fingers tapped on the back of his hand with rich regularity as the man grunted and smiled, "This is a very simple multiple choice question, and with Miss Lisa's intelligence, she will be able to choose the correct answer."

Lisa said guardedly, "So tell me about it."

The man said, "First, you stay obediently on this ship and wait for death; second, become one of my men."

As the leader of the Blood Eels, Lisa can control all of them, and pride will never allow her to be under anyone else's thumb.

She caught the loophole in the man's words, "How can I die if I stay on this ship? Even if they wanted to kill me, they'd have to bring me ashore and get the list of manipulated rich people from me before they'd do it."

"I mean," the man chuckled, "I'll kill you."

Lisa: "......"

She didn't even hesitate this time, "I'll take number two, boss."

"Good girl."

Chi You sighs, "Come here."

Lisa trotted up to him, and Chi You waved her hand backward, and a black mist violently spat out more than two dozen white-faced, senseless humans.

The humans were placed in two batches, one on the left and one on the right, and the ones on the left were led by none other than Boss Ikari and Elder Ikari, who were displaying pained faces.

Chi You got up and led Lisa over to the men, his tail voice rising, "Lisa, remember them. This is the Chi family and the Qi family, they're the reason you're in my sights, so if you're going to take revenge, make sure you don't go soft on them."

Lisa looked at the men grimly, committing them to memory, "Boss, I got it."

The evil spirit gave a low chuckle, "Let the QI's eat your female fry."

Lisa does as she's told, and after letting the Chi family take it, she also looks stupidly at the Chi family people and offers, "Do they want more? Lisa has a lot of fry here."

"Not for them," Chi You looked tenderly at the Chi family, "Every single person in the Chi family, live well."

Lisa also stopped asking questions and instead leapt to her feet, "What do you want the females to manipulate them for, Boss?"

Probably because she was too cute, the newly recognized boss looked at her with a wry smile and actually did tell her, "Let them put on a good dog-eat-dog show for us, and by the way, draw out someone I've been looking for a long, long time."

The man then smiled, "I'm going to take you now."

The black mist slowly wrapped around them, and before leaving, Lisa carefully looked at his face and whispered, "Boss, can I go say goodbye to my brothers and sisters?"

Without waiting for Chi You to say anything, Lisa followed up, "It was the brothers and sisters who brought me on board, you know them too, one of them, a beautiful brother with long hair, you even performed with him on stage."

But she seemed to be wrong in that statement, and the mask of a false smile on the Evil Ghost's face instantly retracted quite a bit as he thought of the watery haze he had just seen, and tugged irritably at his collar, which loosened slightly. But the Evil Ghost quickly hid all his emotions and said faintly, "You don't have any extra time."

Lisa gulped, a little scared, but more curious, "Don't you like that brother?"

"Like?" The evil spirit shifted his gaze above the black mist somewhat absentmindedly, "He's piqued some interest in me, but that's only because I want to watch him become like me."

Not knowing whether he was speaking to himself or to Lisa, he added one more sentence.

"A fragile, easily dead human is not worthy of raising more than my attention. In the future, he will become nothing more than an ordinary, one of your many partners."

Lisa wanted to say something.

Ordinary, vulnerable?

She shivered as she remembered Jiang Luo's cleverness and acumen and excellent hands, as well as the big, ferocious tiger.

Not noticing Lisa's display, the evil spirit steps into the black mist with a room full of people.
