Chen Zhao was too embarrassed to answer Fali.
“You seem busier here than in LA.”
“I won’t go out,” Chen Zhao said.
“Just go. I hope that my man has his own career. I’ll be the woman that’s always there for you.”
Fali knew that Chen Zhao would frequently worry about her feelings.
This was also why Fali liked Chen Zhao.
He would never force her to do anything.
Chen Zhao respected her opinions, so she would respect his too.
Moreover, a romantic relationship should never be one-sided.
For example, Fali was only able to come for a trip once every few months. There were also many uncertainties in Chen Zhao’s work.
“Fali, really?”
“Of course.”
“I’ll be back ASAP.”
Chen Zhao kissed Fali and then left in a rush.
Charlotte’s car was waiting right outside.
Apart from Charlotte, who was in the driver’s seat, there were two more witches.
However, they looked like high school students.
“Sister Charlotte, who is he?”
“Have we been waiting so long just for him?”
“Is he a wizard?”
As soon as Chen Zhao boarded the car, the two girls began twittering.
“Please show some respect to Mr. Chen. He’s a very powerful sorcerer.”
Charlotte knew how strong Chen Zhao was.
That night, the Grandfather and the Evil Spirit Society started a war.
If Chen Zhao was not there, the consequences would be unthinkable.
Chen Zhao glanced at the two pretty girls.
One of them had thick makeup, while the other had a babyface.
Of course, Chen Zhao was not a sexist. He did not think that girls should all look clean.
A woman could choose what makeup she wanted.
Chen Zhao would not be disgusted by those with heavy makeup.
“Hey, would you introduce yourselves, please?”
“Cindy Claus,” the girl with heavy makeup said. She reached out and squeezed Chen Zhao’s shoulder. “You look quite strong.”
The girl with a baby face said, “I’m Alyss Robert.”
“Nice to meet you. I’m Chen Zhao. You can call me Chen.”
“Are you our special mentor?” Cindy asked.
Special mentor? Chen Zhao turned to look at Charlotte.
He had no idea when he had become a special mentor.
“They’ve only recently entered the supernatural world, which they do not know much about. They don’t have any teachers. Since they joined the Witch Society, I have been teaching them. I brought them here also because I want them to learn from you.”
“Uh… I don’t think they can learn much. I’m only good at fighting.”
“That’s great. They’re combat witches. What they need to learn is the way you fight.”
“Fine. If you think I’m suitable, you can follow me. By the way, where are we going?”
“New York Harbor.”
Chen Zhao thought of something. New York Harbor was a popular attraction in New York.
It was the main method to go to Liberty Island, where the Statue of Liberty was. When Chen Zhao brought Yura and Cheryl here last time, they took a ferry from New York Harbor.
Of course, what Chen Zhao really remembered about New York Harbor was not its scenery, but the supernatural legends.
It was said that if someone was at the harbor at midnight, they would see the cruise to Hell.
This had also attracted many supernatural lovers to go and wait for the so-called Hell Cruise.
Most people would return empty-handed.
However, thirteen years ago, a supernatural fan organization gathered 38 members from all over the country to wait for the Hell Cruise at the harbor.
Among the 38 people, 37 went missing.
Only one of them was found, but the person was admitted into a mental hospital.
“The Hell Cruise?” Chen Zhao asked.
“Yes, the cruise from Hell. Have you heard about it?”
Chen Zhao gave a bitter smile. How would he not know?
It was a famous incident.
Even a layman would probably be able to tell the complete story, not to mention that he was in the supernatural circle.
“Is the Hell Cruise real?”
“Yes,” Charlotte nodded, “actually, the Hell Cruise is a ghost ship. It’s the Levakry which went missing 48 years ago. It would go around the Atlantic and dock at the harbor at specific times.”
“Can I have more details?”
“Levakry was affiliated to Federal Shane’s. It was a super-luxury cruise and served…”
“Say what’s important,” Chen Zhao interrupted.
“Fine. When Levakry went missing, it had 268 passengers. When it reappeared, that was already over 20 years ago. It was midnight, and a partying yacht with about a dozen people encountered Levakry which had suddenly appeared. The yacht was hit and sank, but when the search and rescue team found the shipwreck the next day, they did not find any corpses. Nevertheless, there were videos taken by the camera on the yacht.”
Charlotte continued, “In the twenty years after that, Levakry has appeared multiple times at the harbor. The most famous incident, which you have probably heard of, is the supernatural event thirteen years ago.”
“Is that real?”
“Yes.”
“Wow, are we going to fight the Hell Cruise?” Cindy and Alyss seemed excited.
Charlotte glanced at them. They were new and fearless.
“In fact, the Witch Society has gathered people to fight the Hell Cruise in the past, but they all failed.”
“Why? They couldn’t find the cruise? Or lost to the ship?”
“They didn’t find it. The most recent one was three years ago. The Witch Society gathered 20 witches. When we reached the harbor, we saw the Hell Cruise leave the shore. We planned to find a speedboat and chase it, but one of the witches suddenly said, ‘Don’t chase. It’s filled with calamities.’”
“Filled with calamities? What does that mean?”
“Dunno. That witch committed suicide the next day.”
Chen Zhao frowned. The cruise had forced the witch into committing suicide?
The Hell Cruise seemed more troublesome than he had thought.
“Can we see the Hell Cruise if we go there now?”
“The Witch Society has calculated the length of the Hell Cruise’s journey. We can roughly know when it’ll appear.”
“Is it tonight?”
“Yup.” Charlotte glanced at Chen Zhao. “What do you think? Are you confident?”
