“Can you tell me where they caught Alice? Perhaps I can assist you?”

Watson handed the mermaid in front of him a bottle of red wine. She was devouring the pastries that Casey had purchased while drinking copious amounts of red wine. Her skin was flushed.

The mermaid had just attacked him and promised that she would no longer trust him. However, it only took three steps for him to regain the mermaid’s trust. The first thing he did was punch the wall behind the mermaid. Then, he led her to a chair and sat her down. Finally, he gave her some food.

The mermaid looked up at the wall behind her as she heard Watson’s question. The wall had crumbled, leaving a distinct fist mark on it. She narrowed her eyes.

She had no intention of continuing to trust Watson, but Watson was too powerful. When Watson’s fist landed behind her, the entire wall had collapsed, leaving her with a deathly tinge. If Watson’s blow had been aimed at her, she would be a puddle of blood by then. As a result, even if she continued to distrust Watson, she could only tell him what she knew.

“I also have no idea where they took Princess Alice. I only know she was taken to somewhere different than the guards. As for us, we were separated and put in shackles. The group of people who captured us seemed to want to sell us as slaves.”

The mermaid wiped the food residue at the corner of her mouth, set the bottle of red wine in her hand down on the table as a frightened expression crept onto her face. “I am not sure if they are going to sell the princes, but I am sure that they will sell me. I need to find her as soon as possible, but I have no idea where she is or if they have abused her.”

“Can you tell me anything about the people who kidnapped you? Are there any distinguishing features or oddities about them?”

“All I know is that they are all clothed in black and have their faces covered. They are members of the same group, but I am not sure about the rest! Oh, yes! They do have a peculiar aura. I am not sure what sliced off their pinky. I am sure about that because I’ve fought the same group before that.”

‘Could they be related to the Ptolemys?’

Watson stroked his chin and pondered that. Casey’s voice came from outside at that very moment.

“I am back, Watson. Where are you?”

The door to the chamber opened as soon as they heard the voice. Casey sauntered in carelessly with two slave females he had just purchased. When he saw the chaos in the room and Watson and the mermaid sitting opposite him, he was taken aback. He recognized that the mermaid was one that he had previously captured. He did not know why she had appeared in that room and why she looked like she had just fought a big battle.

“You! Watson—”

“Do not say anything. Please have a seat.”

Watson beckoned Casey with his finger. The two slave girls in Casey’s arms were instantly pushed to the wall by an invisible force. Then, Casey was pulled in front of Watson and forced to sit on the chair. At the same time, the door closed with a muffled bang.

“Watson, what is it? What exactly are you doing? I invited you out of courtesy and even wanted to settle the dispute with you. Is this how you treat me?”

Casey struggled hard while sitting on the chair, but he was unable to resist Watson. He was terrified.

“Young Master Casey, please answer the following questions truthfully. If you answer honestly, I might be able to let you go.” Then, Watson looked at the mermaid, and she promptly reached out her right hand. She held a sharp water sword in her hand and placed it against Casey’s neck.

“Whatever you want to ask me, as long as it is something I know, I will tell you.”

“Excellent. Did you send people to capture the mermaids again after I left your ship yesterday?”

“No way! I returned to the Ptolemy family as soon as you went to meet my father. As you are aware, you have bored a hole in the magical ship. If I had not returned home right away, I would have died with the ship.”

Watson stared at Casey, his body exuding the terrifying pressure of a peak platinum-tier warrior. Under that level of stress, Casey’s body trembled like a sieve, sweat trickling down his forehead.

Watson guessed that Casey was not lying. “Do you know a group of people dressed in black? Those people have a special characteristic, that is, they don’t have a pinky.”

“I know them! You’re talking about the Severed Fingers Gang, right?! They are the largest underground force in the floating city. It’s not just the floating city. Some said that their members are spread throughout the entire kingdom. Those people have one characteristic. Their fingers are more or less damaged. It is a ritual that they must complete when they join the gang. Based on their status in the gang, the members might lack a pinky, or they might not have a ring finger, middle finger, and so on. The people with severed pinkies are considered their outer members!” Casey hurriedly responded.

When Watson remained silent, he said, “Our family has nothing to do with the Severed Finger Gang. Rather, it would be better to say that they are our family’s sworn enemies. Because of them, our profits in the slave market have been reduced by more than half. My father has repeatedly wanted to find people to kill those people, but those people are like weeds in spring. After killing one wave, a new wave will grow! Watson, I’ve told you everything I know. Can you let me go now?”

Casey shouted in a panic and made up his mind. If Watson let him go, he would leave that place without a second thought. He was kind enough to bring Watson there to enjoy himself. It was fine if Watson did not want to get close to the women; he still did not know Watson had contacted the mermaid he lost.

Who had he offended?

“I can let you go, but Young Master Casey, before I let you go, I hope you can help me with a small favor.”

“What are you doing? Don’t come over here! Help!”

After about ten minutes, Casey walked out of the room and used his teeth to rewrap the bandages on his arms. The 20 slaves and two female servants from the Ptolemy family stood outside the door. They were looking at him in surprise.

Some muffled sounds were coming from the inner room, but they seemed to be blocked by something, so they could not hear them clearly.

“That Watson’s alcohol tolerance is terrible. I did not expect Master Antonio’s disciple to be so weak. I knocked him down after only two sips. I was going to bring him here to enjoy it, but it seems that he won’t be able to enjoy it. Haha! Rona, Lotte, bring these slaves back to the mansion. I will torture them when I get home tonight. As for now, I haven’t had enough fun yet. I’m going to stay here.”

“Young Master Casey, are you sure you don’t want to bring us along?”

The two maidservants named Rona and Lotte looked at each other and saw the doubt in each other’s eyes. They were combat maidservants specially trained by the Ptolemy family. Their strength was gold-tier, and their primary responsibility was to protect Casey, who was as weak as a chicken. If they left, it would not be good if Casey encountered any danger while he was there.

“Don’t worry. I’m a frequent guest here. The boss knows me, so who would dare to harm me? Besides, I’m a member of the Ptolemy family. No one dares to disrespect me based on that alone.”

As Casey spoke, he walked in front of the two maidservants and looked down at the two women. “You’re not leaving? Are you planning to replace the girls in the house and play with me?”

The moment he said that, the two combat maidservants shuddered. They knew what Casey meant by play. They immediately lowered their heads and said respectfully, “We understand, Young Master Casey. We will bring these people back to the mansion.”

They did not dare to stay any longer. The two combat maidservants took the slaves and quickly left. In an instant, Casey was the only one left in the room.

At that moment, the door behind Casey was pushed open. The mermaid walked out of the room and looked around. “They’re all gone?”

One could see Casey lying on the chair in the room behind the mermaid. There was a massive bump on his forehead, and he looked like he had fainted.

“Watson, I did not expect you to look so good in Casey’s disguise. What are we going to do next?”

When he heard the mermaid’s question, the person who looked like Casey turned around and glanced at the real Casey in the room, revealing a smile. “Next, of course, we’re going to gather intelligence and find Alice! It’s not easy to keep this disguise. Why don’t we make good use of this identity?”

Watson had transformed into Casey to get rid of the group of people in the room. He was afraid that he would cause a big commotion if he used his original identity. Casey was different. As a regular guest there, many people knew that young master. He believed that he would be able to save Alice with just a little discreet investigation.

“Lady Mermaid, let’s go! Before we investigate Alice’s location, please tell me where your remaining companions are being held. I’ll let them out.”

“Watson, can you stop calling me Lady Mermaid? I have a name. It’s Elena.”

“Okay, no problem, Lady Mermaid.”

Elena was speechless. Then, Watson pushed the door open and walked out of the room. A few young masters in luxurious clothes passed by the corridor and saw Watson with bruises all over his face and bandages on his hands. He looked like Casey. They all stopped in their tracks.

“Is that you, Young Master Casey? Why do you look so miserable today?”

“I heard from Lord Mike that you were beaten up while you were out hunting. You even made a fool of yourself at your own family’s dinner party. But it seems like you still have the mood to come to the Iris Flower Tavern. You sure are ambitious! Can your current physical condition satisfy a woman? Don’t make the wounds on your body split open halfway. That’ll just make them worse.”

A few young masters sneered at Watson. The Ptolemy family was the leader of the floating city, but it did not mean that everyone was afraid of Casey. After all, some of them were Mike’s supporters; they wanted Casey to be as miserable as possible.

Watson turned a deaf ear to them and wanted to leave. However, those nobles thought he had given up and went to Elena’s side. “This sea creature looks pretty. I’m afraid that you can’t enjoy her in your current state, Casey. Why don’t we get rid of her for you?”

“Get lost!”

Just as those people were about to touch Elena, Watson spat out a word. The men were instantly sent flying more than ten meters backward before crashing heavily into the wall with a muffled bang. Their bodies were embedded in the wall, countless bones were broken, and they groaned in pain.

“Elena, which room is your companion in?” Watson asked. He ignored those men.

Elena looked at the men embedded in the wall with pity as she pointed in a direction. “The two of them were brought there.”

Watson and Elena walked away in that direction, leaving the group of nobles grimacing in pain while looking at Watson’s back in disbelief.

When did the Ptolemy family’s useless young master become so strong to throw them into a wall?
