Chapter 379: Chapter379-Probing Before Departure
When they finally reached the docks, they discovered that almost all the ships and airships had been cleared out.

It seemed that some people had gone to great lengths to ensure they stayed.

The situation at the station appeared to be the same, indicating that someone had invested considerable effort to keep them from leaving.

John said nothing, simply stepping back, while the others began to have different thoughts.

Benjamin and Francis were following at a distance, their lips curled into slight smiles, acting as if they were merely ordinary hosts seeing off their guests.

Silver Tear noticed that the others seemed unsettled, and even her voice reflected her own anxiety.

“There are many people watching us. Are we really okay? Will they really let us leave?”

Despite her words, Silver Tear was feeling a growing sense of fear.

However, Dark Fox shook his head slightly at her.

No matter how worried they were, they had to act as if nothing was amiss, or they would surely face dire consequences.

They waited at the dock for a while, but Victor’s condition was worsening, his face growing visibly paler by the minute.

Although John appeared calm on the surface, he was increasingly worried.

He couldn’t understand why Victor’s condition had worsened again after seemingly stabilizing.

The elixir of life he possessed was in limited supply, and he had already given some to Victor.

Administering too much in a short period could lead to side effects.

With watchful eyes observing their every move, any sign of weakness could lead to further complications.

The group exchanged glances, silently communicating their concerns.

“This place is really quite nice. The scenery is beautiful. If they developed a tourism industry here, it could be very popular,” John said nonchalantly.

Scarlett chuckled softly, as if amused by a private joke.

“Come on, this place is so chaotic that even the Garrison is in league with others. Do you think anyone can guarantee the safety of tourists?” she replied.

“The scenery is indeed beautiful, but if you’re risking your life just to see it, that’s not really worth it.”

As Scarlett spoke, the others nodded in agreement, as if they were merely having a casual conversation.

Seemingly in agreement with her, John chuckled softly.

“You’re right. If I were one of those wealthy people, I certainly wouldn’t come here, given how dangerous it is.”

They spoke without lowering their voices, making sure everyone could hear them clearly.

Those around exchanged glances, finding it unbelievable that these people could remain so calm, chatting about tourism as if they were oblivious to the danger.

Were they crazy, or did they genuinely have nothing to fear, treating the situation as if it were inconsequential?

The thought shifted their expressions, revealing a hint of unease.

“I’d like to ask why our arrangements are taking so long. It’s already been half an hour. Do you really need this much time to prepare? I’m starting to doubt the capabilities of the locals here,” John remarked casually.

Francis’s smile remained unchanged, his demeanor as pleasant as ever.

“Since we’re making arrangements for you, we want to ensure everything is perfect. It might take a little longer, so please wait patiently.”

Scarlett glanced at Victor, pursing her lips slightly as she began to grasp the situation.

Scarlett gave a charming smile and, without drawing attention, moved closer to John, using a yawn as cover.

“Why is it taking so long? I’m getting sleepy waiting. If you can’t manage to get everything ready, just let me handle it,” she said, laughing softly as she twirled her hair in a coquettish manner.

“I have a bit of a connection with the owner of the Rose Hotel. Asking him to prepare a few things for us is no big deal. We don’t necessarily need you to do it,” she added.

Francis’s expression shifted subtly.

He understood perfectly well what Scarlett was implying—that she had ties with the hotel owner.

While she might not boast about it, arranging an airship was certainly within her reach.

“It’s fine. Our visit here is on record with the school. I’ve only been given two weeks, and if I don’t return, the principal might come looking for me,” John remarked casually, dropping a bombshell.

This caused Benjamin and Francis’s expressions to change instantly.

They had hoped to delay the group, probing for any weaknesses they could exploit.

If they found any, it would be an opportunity to keep them there and perhaps gain something from it.

However, they hadn’t expected even the woman to be aware of their intentions.

Though Sophia Winchester appeared petite and delicate, her strength was formidable.

As one of the few semigod-tier powerhouses among the seven major planets, her name alone commanded respect.

Moreover, she was the principal of Star Cluster Academy, with many eyes watching her every move.

Benjamin and Francis, who initially had other ideas, began to waver.

Was it really worth offending Star Cluster Academy over one person? Things weren’t as simple as they seemed.

Offending the school meant offending the entire alliance’s official organization.

Even if they had protection from both sides of the law, they would still be courting disaster.

The two exchanged a glance, hesitating in silence.

“Your principal seems to care about you a lot. Hidden Stars even sent Vincent along. They must really value you,” Scarlett said with a casual smile, reminding everyone of Vincent’s significance.

Indeed, if they didn’t care about John, why would they send Vincent? The group exchanged another glance, and their preparations sped up as a result.

John discreetly squeezed Scarlett’s palm, and her lips curled into a slight smile, reflecting her light-hearted demeanor.

Some things are best understood silently without being spoken aloud, just as their mutual understanding sufficed for now.

As the small airship they had prepared arrived, everyone subtly sighed in relief.

However, as Silver Tear was about to board, Vincent stopped her.

He glanced at Benjamin and the others with a smirk.

“There shouldn’t be anything unexpected inside, right?” Vincent asked.

Benjamin was taken aback for a moment, then burst into laughter.

“You’re joking, right? In your presence, how could we possibly prepare something like that? Even if we had ten lives, we wouldn’t dare. You really overestimate us.”

Despite the words, Vincent used his mind power to scan the entire airship.

This demonstration left everyone present thoroughly impressed.
