Lighthouse Street, Island of Sea Tear.
In a very secluded residential house, a buff man in a black mantle was standing in the middle of the yard as if he was waiting for something.
About 20 minutes later, the shabby wooden door of the house was pushed open.
Another figure in a black mantle dashed into the house.
When the figure saw the man in the yard, he hesitated for a moment.
However, when the man in the yard saw the figure, he removed his hood, revealing a beautiful face that did not match his buff body at all.
"How did you …" The figure in the courtyard lifted his hood at this moment, revealing the face of Samuel who had just entered the secret passage.
Who else could the buff man be? It was Higan.
"I just hope that things can be done more discreetly," Higan explained calmly in response to Samuel's doubt.
After leaving Tang Ling's side, Higan's expression vanished and her eyes turned hollow, just like how she used to be.
"I've been careless." Samuel did not mind as he showed a smile.
Deep down, he thought, be it Tang Ling or Higan, this young couple is not easy to deal with.
"Let's talk inside," said Samuel as he led the way into the normal-looking residential house.
As a matter of fact, there were many strongholds like the Island of Sea Tear since the Poseidon family had been operating on the island for many years.
The interior of the house might be simple, but it was clean and warm. The fire in the fireplace was burning brightly, but the owner of the house was nowhere to be found.
Higan was not dumb enough to ask such questions. She looked at Samuel and asked, "When can I see Tang Ling?"
Samuel was not in a hurry to answer her question. Instead, he sized up Higan with an amused gaze.
Beautiful! She's really beautiful!
Her talent is mysterious and powerful! Her intellect is not low either!
If a girl like her could become a member of his personal army, how perfect would that be?
If he could be that lucky, Samuel would rather let Higan be on equal footing with him.
One must know that the family's patriarchal preference had made Samuel feel resistant since she was young. It was no secret that she, who was stubborn and unwilling to admit defeat, had gathered an all-female personal army in the family.
Moreover, she was not restricted by her family or bloodline. As long as it was an outstanding girl, she would want to pull them into her team. She was very much like a collector.
Higan was indifferent, but she still slightly avoided Samuel's gaze. Without Tang Ling around, she was not used to strangers getting close to her. She even felt repulsed by a stranger's gaze.
Samuel was not affected by Higan's coldness. She asked, "How did you know you were looking for me?"
"Didn't you know you were looking for me?" Higan did not answer Samuel's question.
"That's because you gave me enough hints at the banquet, whether it was when our eyes met, your obvious probing and questioning. And when we left, you looked at me a few times. It was obvious that you wanted to ask me something. "Samuel said some subtle things.
"It's obvious that you're connected to this. Sometimes, things don't have to be that complicated. Guessing is enough for us to continue, "Higan replied straightforwardly.
"I admire you. Why don't we explore the world together?" Samuel could not hold back the urge to invite Higan, so she asked.
"When can I see Tang Ling?" Higan's answer disappointed Samuel. She was not just uninterested. He didn't care about what Samuel said at all.
Samuel could not say anything else anymore, so she said, "All I can tell you is that Tang Ling is safe for the time being. As for when you two can meet again, I'm not sure."
In order to prevent Higan from doubting him, Samuel added, "You know what kind of situation he's going to face."
With Higan's intellect, a slight thought and she knew what kind of situation Tang Ling was in.
She went silent for a while before she asked, "Why is he willing to do this?"
After Higan asked the question, Samuel's eyes uncontrollably showed admiration. It was impossible not to admire this little girl.
She did not complain about Samuel nor did she ask why Samuel wanted Tang Ling to do this. Instead, she assumed that Tang Ling must have a reason for doing so.
It made Samuel a little envious of Tang Ling. Why would a girl like Higan fall for him? Of course, Samuel did not want Higan's favor. All she wanted was for Higan to turn the favor into the same ambition as her.
"First, to ensure that the fleet can pass through the Tommy Safety Line smoothly. Second, to crush Omir's greed for you once and for all. Third, to prevent Omir from targeting you endlessly. Fourth, to get the benefits of working with him, I promised him. " There was no need for endless explanations for a girl like Higan. Samuel summarized a few key points and Higan should be able to understand everything.
As expected, Higan thought for a while and nodded. "Thank you for the information. I'll be on my way."
Is she that decisive? Samuel, on the other hand, was stunned.
Looking at Higan's back as she left, she suddenly felt like she should seize the chance to seduce her again. "Hey, the world has become interesting after the upheaval of the Purple Moon. Don't you want to explore the world and conquer something along the way? "
Higan stopped and turned around to look at Samuel. This time, she finally showed a faint smile.
Even though Samuel was a woman, he was stunned by the sudden smile.
"To me, the world is Tang Ling. There's no other reason. Only when he's by my side can I feel the world without fear, "Higan told Samuel.
Samuel was stunned. "What are you afraid of? Do you like Tang Ling that much? "
What am I afraid of? Higan slightly frowned but did not answer.
As for the second question, Higan answered straightforwardly, "The feelings I have for him and the relationship between us are more than just liking."
After that, Higan left.
She did not hate Samuel, even though they had worked together on a dangerous mission.
Higan did not have a sense of right and wrong, but she had her own way of judging things.
Therefore, what Higan told Samuel was the truth.
However, Samuel did not understand what she meant by not just like him. Based on what she knew, the queen had been staying in Star City. Tang Ling was from the grassroots, so the two of them had never crossed paths. Other than liking him, was there anything else that tied him down?
Or was Higan trying to emphasize that it was not just like him? Was it love?
Samuel could not help but shake his head. How could she talk about love at such a young age? In any case, for her, there was no need for love or anything like that.
After all, the world was huge.
