Rebirth of the Peak Young Master-Chapter 408: Following Closely Behind

However, there was another issue in front of Yang Tian—this time, he was not alone. Alice, tasked with guarding the former Devil Palace, was following closely behind.

Although Alice did not trust him after the destruction of the Devil Palace, Yang Tian was not surprised.

After all, Alice, being a Northern European, had always believed in the Devil Palace and Odin. But once she realized Peng Zhenyuan had deceived her, it was natural for her to rely on Yang Tian instead.

Right at this moment, Yang Tian slightly frowned and asked, "How are you following me?"

"Your family is under the protection of David, who is at the peak of divine power. Ma Yu and Ren Yuan are both stronger than me. Staying there was meaningless for me!" Alice replied lightly.

"So?" Yang Tian remained unmoved.

Seeing his reaction, Alice sighed and said, "The Saint’s legacy is an opportunity. I want to witness it! I’m familiar with the Pacific Ocean region and can serve as an excellent guide!"

"You’re familiar with the Pacific Ocean?"

Hearing this, Yang Tian suddenly nodded. Choosing a familiar face as a guide was naturally better than trusting a stranger.

Thinking it over, Yang Tian tacitly allowed Alice to join him, taking her to the nearest port to rent a ship.

When they mentioned crossing the Pacific Ocean, the staff on site immediately refused to believe them.

But as soon as Yang Tian presented a limited-edition platinum credit card issued by the Chinese National Bank, panic ensued among them.

Soon after, a chubby middle-aged man respectfully invited Yang Tian into the VIP lounge.

"Dear sir and madam, ladies and gentlemen! I am the director of Liankou City’s port. I heard you are looking to rent a ship." The middle-aged man personally brewed some high-quality Biluochun tea for Yang Tian and Alice, smiling attentively.

"Yes, my husband plans to rent a cruise ship to cross the Pacific Ocean for a vacation. Of course, the ship must be large enough to clear customs smoothly!" Alice stood up at once and declared. Could you really arrange a voyage across the Pacific Ocean?

Hearing Alice’s words, the middle-aged man wiped sweat from his forehead immediately.

The rumors among the staff made him skeptical at first, but he now realized this was no joke.

However, there was a problem—most of the cargo ships capable of such a journey were already taken.

Still, such a lucrative deal was hard to let go of!

Most importantly, how many people in China had the wealth and power to rent a ship capable of crossing the Pacific Ocean?

Such individuals were undoubtedly extraordinary and not someone a small port operator like him could afford to offend.

After some thought, he cautiously asked, "Sir, may I know where in the Pacific Ocean you are headed?"

"It’s a vacation, so the destination doesn’t really matter," Alice replied with a furrowed brow.

"Where are we going?"

Upon hearing Alice’s response, the man’s eyes lit up and he quickly continued, "So, does that mean the gentleman is simply looking for a sea voyage without a specific destination? There happens to be a cruise ship heading to an island in the central Pacific. Though it has already been booked, accommodating two more passengers for a vacation shouldn’t be a big issue. Would that be acceptable?"

"An island in the central Pacific?"

Alice was taken aback by this suggestion. Wasn’t that the same as their intended destination?

Could this be a coincidence?

Thinking this, Alice immediately looked toward Yang Tian.

But Yang Tian said nothing.

"What kind of ship is it?" Alice asked.

"Alright! Please wait a moment!"

Seeing that Yang Tian had agreed, the man breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly began processing their payment and boarding arrangements.

Soon after, he returned to the VIP lounge and said, "Your paperwork has been completed. You can board the ship at around 10 a.m. tomorrow. However, I must warn you about one thing—there’s a special lady on the ship. Her identity is extraordinary, so please avoid disturbing her!"

"Special? How special?" Alice couldn’t help but ask out of curiosity.

The man hesitated, clearly reluctant to elaborate, but after some thought said, "Let me just say that the identities of both passengers are highly distinguished, and the lady’s identity is especially beyond reproach. Just make sure to avoid offending her! It won’t affect your vacation!"

Avoid offending her?

Alice rolled her eyes at this.

In her opinion, who in the world could possibly be more troublesome than Yang Tian?

Of course, she didn’t voice her thoughts aloud.

After all, according to the man, this was the only cruise ship capable of crossing the Pacific Ocean, and it just so happened to be heading toward the central Pacific.

Since Yang Tian had no objections, Alice naturally had none either.

Nodding in agreement with the man, Alice led Yang Tian out of the VIP lounge...

The next morning, at 10 a.m., guided by the man, Yang Tian and Alice finally boarded the cruise ship.

At the same time, they encountered the so-called "special" lady.

She was a very young woman with a refined air. What made her uncomfortable, however, was the woman’s constant arrogance whenever she saw Yang Tian and Alice.

As for her entourage, they were anything but ordinary. Most of them were cultivators. While only one had achieved Innate strength, the others were well-trained, resembling soldiers who were also cultivators.

A wealthy military family, or perhaps the daughter of some hidden sect!

Yang Tian merely glanced at her and stopped paying attention.

But at that moment, a man from the Tiansheng Kingdom stood in front of Yang Tian, saying coldly, "Get off the ship. This isn’t a place for the likes of you."

"Uh..."

The man guiding Yang Tian was taken aback by the hostility but quickly smiled apologetically and pleaded, "Sir, they are also passengers of this cruise. I’ve already secured Miss Zou’s approval..."

"Hmm? Are you questioning my decision?"

The man snorted, staring intently at the guide. The guide immediately froze, feeling as though he was being stared down by a beast. Lowering his head, he murmured, "No... no, of course not."

He glanced at the woman on the deck.

But it was clear that the haughty woman only gave him a dismissive look, showing no inclination to intervene.

Seeing this, the guide had no choice but to turn to Yang Tian and Alice, whispering, "The two of you... perhaps we should disembark for now?"

Disembark?

Yang Tian’s expression remained indifferent, showing no intent to comply.

Standing beside him, Alice slowly narrowed her eyes.

"Hmph?" freewёbnoνel.com

The Innate man immediately frowned as he saw someone stepping forward but soon revealed a condescending smirk.

He thought his speculative instincts had been correct.

After all, what were the odds of someone coincidentally heading toward the central Pacific at this time? There was an 80% chance they were just troublemakers.

As Miss Zou’s guardian, it was his responsibility to clear away potential nuisances. In his eyes, Yang Tian and Alice clearly fell into that category.

But now Yang Tian didn’t make a move; instead, a woman stepped forward. What did that mean?

Were they stalling for time?

Thinking this, the man sneered and prepared to shove Yang Tian and Alice off the ship with one swift motion.

He underestimated Alice’s resolve, however.

Just as he raised his hand, Alice let out a cold snort. Her fingers glimmered with a black light, quick as a flash.

The moment the man’s hand came into contact with the black aura, he staggered back instantly, retreating over ten steps. His face turned pale as he looked at Alice with shock.
