Chapter 586: 189. Cheaters always win.

Inside a room on the middle deck of the emergency spaceship.

Noland’s consciousness returned to his body, and he shared the details of his conversation with the professor to Denise.

“…That’s how it is, Denise. I’m going to meet with Miss Selena Williams later, and you’ll come with me. In the worst-case scenario, we’ll just have to pay 100,000 gold coins to procure a teleportation quota for you. I won’t leave you here.” Said Noland.

Denise slowly nodded, her mind filled with questions:

“Hmm…I trust you… But why do I feel like you’re a bit anxious… is something wrong?”

Denise had spent the most time with Noland.

Even though Noland remained seemingly calm, the anxiety simmering deep within him was noticeable through the finer details, and Denise had picked up on it.

She couldn’t pinpoint exactly how she could sense Noland’s anxiety.

Perhaps, this was the unique bond of being a Companion Witch.

Noland pondered for a moment, activated ‘Soul Perception’ and said in his mind:

“I have a bad feeling about this, Denise. That Star Fleet is too weak. If I were the Commander of Deep Space United Mining, I would have dispatched more interstellar ships to seize control of the magic ship. The Star Fleet we encountered doesn’t have the strength to warrant the risk they’re taking. It’s strange. I suspect their true intention isn’t to take over the magic ship, although, I can’t be sure of their actual motive.”

“Oh…” Denise nodded, not fully understanding, shaking her head.

She turned her back, searched through her clothing, and produced a magic pouch that was warm to the touch.

“This is where I keep our gold coins separately. Everything we have is in here.”

With a slight blush on her cheeks, Denise handed the warm and slightly scented magic pouch to Noland:

“Here, take this for now. It might be awkward trying to get it out later in front of others.”

Noland weighed the hefty magic pouch in his hand.

Even though he had rightfully earned the majority of the gold coins in the pouch, Denise’s unconditional trust made him feel gratified.

Noland tucked the magic pouch safely away, squeezed Denise’s hand gently, their understanding going unspoken.

The blush on Denise’s cheeks deepened…

“Knock, knock, knock.” The door was rapped upon, a Deep-sea Wizard paid a visit.

Noland got up, opened the door, exchanged a few words with the Deep-sea Wizard outside, and then left with Denise.

The Deep-sea Wizard led the way, guiding Noland to the cabin where Selena resided.

Halfway there, Noland watched the surfacing magic ship through the porthole and cast a Deconstruction spell.
