Chapter 2024

After all, the underground gang in Ora was only a bunch of showers. They gained control over the
masses by using guns, violence, and huge benefits. Although many people joined them, they were far
less reliable than the Southerns. The people who worked under the Southerns were tough, hot–
blooded men. They valued justice above everything, and even if they violated one of the rules, they
would be expelled.

This was also the reason Strix wanted to work with the Southerns.

A merchant ship was traveling on the boundless sea. When the man entered the cabin with his dinner,
Nollace was sitting on the edge of the bed, changing his bandages. The air was filled with the smell of
medicine and blood.

“You‘re awake, sir.” The man put the dinner on the desk next to the bed and sat at the side respectfully.
“You‘ve been unconscious for several days due to a high fever. Are you feeling better now?” 1

While Nollace was bandaging his injured arm, he lifted his eyes and looked at the man. “You people
are the ones who saved me?”

“It‘s our young master who saved you, sir.” He put on his shirt and narrowed his eyes. “Who is your
young master?” The man replied with a smile, “He‘s the descendant of the Southerns of the East
Islands.”

Nollace was stunned.

The man bowed down and continued. “I‘ll be leaving your dinner here. If you need anything else, you
can press the service bell. Please enjoy your dinner.” He retreated from the room and closed the door.
After that, he walked toward the main cabin bedroom.



The main cabin bedroom was spacious and was decorated in the same way as an upscale hotel. A
young man in a suit was sitting on the couch. He had an androgynous appearance. He picked up the
cup and asked, “Is he awake?” Even though he pitched his voice low, it did not sound as deep as a
man‘s. The man bowed in reverence and replied, “Yes. He‘s already awake.”

The young man took a sip from the cup of tea and said, “He‘s still alive despite being so badly injured
and floating in the sea. It seems like God doesn‘t want him to die.”

“Why do you want to save him, Sir?”

The person on patrol that night had noticed a man floating on the sea. He was lying on driftwood and
was covered in blood. It was this young man who had asked them to save him.

Fortunately, there was someone who had some medical knowledge and a medical kit on board, so they
gave him a tetanus shot and cleaned and dressed his wounds.

However, Nollace had been unconscious due to a high fever. The young man put down the cup and
shrugged. “Well, my father taught me that we should lend a hand to those in trouble. This man is
seriously injured, so I‘m sure he must‘ve run into an accident or something. Since he made it through
this, it means it isn‘t the time for him to die yet. Besides, he might be of help to us in the future.” The
man smiled. “You‘re right, Sir.” The young man rose to his feet and waved his hand. “Alright. How long
until we reach the East Islands?”

The man replied, “We‘ll be arriving at the East Islands tomorrow morning.”

The young man placed his hand on his forehead and said, “I‘m tired, so I‘m going to take a nap. You‘re
dismissed.”

At Bassburgh, at the Goldmann mansion…



Maisie brought Daisie home. When they were having dinner, Nolan asked the butler to get Daisie, but
Maisie stopped him. “I‘m sure she doesn‘t have an appetite now. She‘ll eat when she‘s hungry.”

Nolan frowned. “Is it because of Nollace?” She picked up a piece of meat with her fork and said calmly,
“Yeah. Nollace has gone missing, and no one knows if he is dead or alive. I‘m sure Daisie doesn‘t have
any appetite now.”

She was already relieved that Daisie did not throw a tantrum or try to kill herself due to her sadness.

Nolan massaged his nose and said, “If he‘s still missing and nobody knows if he‘s still alive or dead, it
means there‘s still hope.” Maisie chuckled. “How rare. I thought you‘d want to find another husband for
Daisie.” Nolan laughed helplessly. “Of course, I‘m not going to do that. I‘m not someone who would
take advantage of other people.”
