Chapter 878: Beautiful song


    ?


    I looked at the shadow with one raised brow as if I was asking him what he had done, but he didn''t say anything as he suddenly disappeared.


    It seemed that he had been given the order not to interact with me.


    Well, they were here to watch over me, so it wasn''t as if I had to talk to them.


    Though it was clear that he had done something to the chubby man who was the head of the docks here.


    When the chubby man led us over to a boat, we were surprised by the boat that he led us to.


    That was because this wasn''t just a boat that he led us to.


    This was a proper sailing ship.


    This wasn''t a ship that would be used by just a few people like we had in our group, this was a ship that would be used by argepany to ship arge amount of goods. This was definitely not something that we would be able to sail on our own.


    "Isn''t this a bit too..."


    Before I could say the word ''big'', all of the shadows suddenly appeared.


    We were all caught off guard by the sudden appearance of the shadows, but they didn''t say a word as they all moved onto the ship. Before anyone could react, they had already taken their posts on the ship and looked like they were ready to sail out at any moment.


    It seemed that the shadow that appeared earlier had been responsible for this.


    He had most likely talked the chubby man into letting us take this ship.


    After all, the chubby man didn''t say a thing even though he saw the shadows appear all of a sudden like this.


    With a sigh, I said to my group, "Let''s go then."


    They nodded in agreement before following me onto the ship.


    The chubby man didn''t even ask about payment which made me a bit worried, so I looked at the shadow that had talked to the chubby man earlier.


    "It''s already been taken care of. We wouldn''t do things like forcing people to give us stuff, we would properlypensate them." The shadow said as if he had read my mind.


    I didn''t doubt him as I just gave a simple nod in response.


    Like this, we secured a ship and we started sailing down the river.


    The shadows knew exactly what to do without me telling them a single thing.


    Though from time to time, they looked at me as if they were saying...


    "See, we can do our jobs."


    I couldn''t help feeling a bit bitter when I saw them looking at me like this since I could already tell why they were looking at me like this.


    They had most likely heard me say that I was the only one that could take care of this.


    They wanted to show that they could do anything that I could do, which was why I should be able to trust them.


    This was just their way of acting hurt from what I had said to the prime minister before. The one that was responsible for telling them all of this was the shadow that hade to report this matter that day.


    I could see him in the distance, as if he was trying to stay away from me.


    As if he was afraid of what I would do to him for spreading this rumour.


    I just ignored him and focused on the river in front of us.


    Since they were here and they were willing to do this work, it didn''t matter what they thought.


    I actually preferred them to act this way since it meant that they would work harder than normal.


    I waspletely focused on the river instead of paying any attention to the shadows.


    From behind me, the five girls just waited for me to say something or to have any kind of reaction, but I didn''t react even after half an hour of sailing.


    That was because...we hadn''t found a single thing.


    Ang once again spoke up by saying, "Are you sure that it''s here?"


    I just calmly gave a nod as I said, "I''m sure."


    Then as if to prove me right, there was a sound that suddenly cut through the air.


    The moment that this sound cut through the air, everyone suddenly fell into a daze.


    That was because they were stunned by the beauty of this sound.


    It was someone''s singing that had suddenly cut through the air like this.


    This was a beautiful song even though there were no words. Just the voice alone was more than enough to make everyone fall into a daze like this.


    It reached the point where some of the shadows forgot about what they were doing.


    That was a bad thing since the shadows had been controlling the ship.


    With them falling into a daze like this, the ship actually started to list and it seemed like we were going to crash on the bank of the river.


    I was the only one that was able to react in time since I had already been prepared for this.


    I quickly went over to the shadows and started to p them.


    They looked aggrieved when they saw me after I pped them, but I just said to them, "Get the ship on course!"


    Hearing this order from me, the shadows realized their mistakes and went back to sailing the ship. Though there was a bit of a daze in their eyes as the song was still drifting in the air.


    At the very least, it didn''t seem like we would crash onto the bank.


    After the song had appeared for a while, everyone slowly came back to their senses.


    They had awkward looks on their faces as they didn''t expect to be so caught up in this, but there was no denying the beauty of the singing.


    "What is this?" Ang asked me, but I didn''t say anything as I looked carefully in front of us for the source of this singing.
