Tomb raiding: Today is another day I don't want to go home.

Chapter 34: Is the acting on point?

"Vice Captain, the man is coming up."

As Yan Huai entered the cabin, he heard this sentence. In front of him was a space similar to a living room. It was somewhat beautiful floating on the water, but if it were placed in a room, it would probably not be so pleasing to the eye.

"When the boss came to you personally, you refused. But now, you're showing up in the boss's name. What exactly are you trying to do?"

Yan Huai looked at the four people in front of him. The one who spoke was sitting on the sofa facing him. Two of the other three were standing behind the one who spoke. As for the remaining one, Yan Huai had no idea what he was doing...

"Host, he's trimming his nails."

"Oh...then why did he blow it again?"

"For the sake of looking better?"

Yan Huai inexplicably put himself in Zhang Qiling's shoes for a moment, oh well... never mind!

"Yan Huai!"

"Huh?" Yan Huai was brought back to his senses by the shout. He turned his head and saw that the person sitting on the sofa had stood up and seemed to be quite angry.

"What exactly do you want to do here?" Liu Tai asked impatiently. "I'm warning you, don't try anything funny, or I won't take responsibility for your cooperation with the boss."

You guys? Who am I with?

Yan Huai remained outwardly calm, but inwardly he already had a rough guess. The people who could be mistaken for being together must be people he had contacted. And he hadn't contacted many people in total; the few from the Seven Star Lu Palace were the most he could count.

Given the scale and circumstances of this tomb raiding, Qiu Dekao himself must not be a simple person. To be able to make a deal with someone like him, one must be rich, powerful, and capable, or at least possess one of these qualities.

Zhang Qiling and Black Eyes? It shouldn't be them, at least they didn't know about it three days ago. So, after thinking about it, it can only be Wu Sansheng.

"I didn't do anything funny, I just wanted to borrow a yacht."

"A yacht?" Rokuta frowned. "You're going out to sea?"

"Hmm, an underwater tomb is so rare, it would be a shame not to go see it." Yan Huai's eyes darted around, and anyone with eyes could see that he was lying.

Liu Tai sneered, reached into his holster and drew his gun. After loading a bullet, he pointed the gun at Yan Huai: "This is your last chance. What exactly is your purpose?"

Yan Huai stared at the empty gun barrel, his gaze turning slightly cold. Did all these people like to talk to people with guns pointed at them?

He leaned against the cabin door, a mocking smile playing on his lips: "Wu Sansheng already has someone to meet him at the dock, so there's nothing for me to do. Since he can go down into the tomb to retrieve treasures, can't I get a share of the profits?"

Yan Huai originally planned to use another underwater tomb as bait to lure these mercenaries into a trap, but unexpectedly, Wu Sansheng appeared, so he wouldn't be polite!

"Ha! So he was kicked out and felt the spoils weren't split fairly." Rokuta's words caused the people in the cabin to burst into laughter.

Yan Huai's expression turned completely cold. His gaze swept lightly over the people in front of him, his fingers slowly rubbing the lenses of his sunglasses. He asked impatiently, "Should we lend this yacht or not?"

The group of six suddenly felt a suffocating atmosphere in the cabin, and their mocking expressions froze.

Liu Tai placed the gun in his hand on the coffee table in front of him. He had heard about Yan Huai's abilities from A Ning. Moreover, he had seen this man when he met A Ning in the rainforest of Dongyi last time. He could scratch tree bark with his bare hands to make those claw marks. This habit was both strange and rare.

"Whether or not we lend it is not up to me. Besides, we are currently cooperating with Wu Sansheng. If a conflict arises because of your personal grudges, we can't afford to be blamed by the boss."

“I just don’t want to attract the attention of Wu Sansheng’s people for the time being. Once I’m down in the tomb, I promise that if I meet A Ning, I will help her. As for Wu Sansheng… he will never have another chance to come out.”

Yan Huai's statement can be considered a case of crossing the river and burning the bridge, but judging from the reason he gave, it was Wu Sansheng who was immoral first. The most taboo thing in this line of work is the unequal distribution of spoils.

Judging from the conditions Yan Huai offered, they were indeed very fair, and even more beneficial than harmful to Liu Tai and the others. However, the prerequisite was that Yan Huai could actually kill Wu Sansheng...

Yan Huai noticed Liu Tai's hesitation. He was now only one step away from taking the final step. He flicked his fingertips on the lenses of his sunglasses, and a series of soft cracking sounds rang out.

Liu Tai and the others looked at Yan Huai upon hearing the sound. Before they could react, something seemed to slash past their necks, accompanied by a barely audible whooshing sound.

In the blink of an eye, Yan Huai's sunglasses lens embedded itself in the sofa, the metal of the ship's cabin, and the mercenary's ring... but it didn't harm Liu Tai and the others in the slightest.

Yan Huai tilted his head and said with a smile, "Give me the yacht, and I guarantee you will never see Wu Sansheng again. If you're really worried, you can come with me for a ride."

Liu Tai's expression was rather unpleasant. In his gaze toward Yan Huai, there was both fear and anger at being offended.

"You can borrow the yacht, but if you fail to kill Wu Sansheng, you will bear all the consequences yourself."

Yan Huai's smile deepened. He didn't answer again, but turned and waved, his voice fading into the distance: "I'll be waiting for your yacht outside! Oh, by the way, where's the restroom..."

"My acting wasn't bad, was it?" Yan Huai casually tossed his one-eyed sunglasses into the trash can. He stood in front of the handwashing mirror, washing his hands and smiling faintly.

"Your acting is excellent," the system honestly acknowledged.

"You can turn off the signal jamming now. Next, I'll put on a show of chaos and mischief."

“Yes, host. They will soon have the yacht ready, and they do not intend to go out to sea with you.”

"Hmm!" Yan Huai exhaled, shook the water off his hands, and after drying them, began to take off his clothes...

Ten minutes later, Rokuta stood by the railing of the cruise ship. He frowned, looked behind him, and asked in confusion, "Where's Yanhuai?"

The young man who had been trimming his nails in the cabin earlier curled his lip upon hearing this: "He's still in the bathroom! So good-looking, but he's impotent."

"..." Rokuta rolled his eyes. He felt something was amiss, so he gave the mercenary on his left a wink.

The mercenary nodded and then walked towards the restroom.

However, before the mercenaries who went to check the situation could return, the cruise ship beneath their feet suddenly shook violently, and several who lost their footing almost fell overboard!

"What's going on? Who the hell moved the cruise ship?!" Rokuta shouted at the mercenaries on the first deck, but they were completely dumbfounded.

Just as everyone was looking at each other in bewilderment, the cruise ship suddenly shook violently again, and then was quickly dragged into the deep sea by a tremendous force.

"!!!"

The unguarded mercenaries on the cruise ship were instantly thrown to the ground. Rokuta clung tightly to the railing, his legs held by several people, and was swung back and forth in the direction the cruise ship was moving.

"Fuck you all..." Just as Liu Tai was about to let go of the people on his lap, he was hit in the nose by the railing. His hand involuntarily loosened, and the string of people on his lap instantly rolled away screaming in all directions.

"System, no one fell down, right?" Yan Huai's dragon body frolicked around in the deep sea, extremely happy. His dragon claws were holding onto the cruise ship's anchor, only concerned with avoiding the coral reefs and deep-sea rocks on the seabed. He didn't know much about the situation above.

"Host, the cruise ship's railings are quite high. As long as you move close to the sea surface, no one will fall off. But please don't go too fast. The system has detected that someone has a concussion."

"Am I moving too fast right now?"

"Host, your current speed is just right." It won't give them a chance to stand up, nor will it make them lie down completely.

"Great!"
