First, take down the Sword Demon, then save Runeterra.

For someone like Miss Fortune who is fighting against Planck, Slaughter Dock is also the best hiding place.

Countless ships come and go from here every day, and even though Planck's Iron Trench gang has influence throughout Piraeus, it is difficult to find her.

Aatrox's combat experience allowed Aatrox to be aware of all the gazes around him.

He soon noticed a gaze that kept shifting and occasionally drifting towards them.

"Hello Raven, we meet again."

Ato strolled leisurely toward the owner of his gaze, a burly man with a thick beard who was counting goods on the shore.

This burly man was one of the men who came to rescue Sarah yesterday, the first mate of the "Siren," Raven.

Upon seeing Ator, a flicker of panic crossed Raven's eyes. He picked up a few boxes at his feet and tried to leave, saying, "You've mistaken me for someone else!"

“I won’t do anything to your captain.” Ato put one hand on Raven’s shoulder, making him unable to move an inch.

Cold sweat dripped down Raven's forehead.

He couldn't believe that the monster from yesterday had actually come out and paraded around like that!

Although the four great horror legends do exist, very few people have actually seen them, and those who have witnessed them disappear quickly.

Why can't this existence, which may stand alongside terrifying legends, maintain its mystery?

“Take me to your captain,” Ator whispered in Raven’s ear.

"What exactly is your purpose?" Raven was loyal to Sarah and did not want to bring this mysterious man back to the ship, as it would put Sarah in danger!

"There's a question I forgot to ask your captain yesterday." Ato said helplessly. Was my tone not gentle enough?

“Relax, Sarah, answer the questions. I’ll help you deal with some of the Iron Trench Gang’s incursions. It’s a deal.”

“This…” Raven hesitated. After returning, Sarah warned him and all the crew members of the “Siren” that Atto was very dangerous and should be avoided.

But recently, the Iron Ditch Gang's pursuit of Sarah has become increasingly urgent. He was curious about what it would be like if Ato and the Iron Hook Gang were to fight.

"With your strength, storming Planck's manor right now shouldn't be difficult. Why not just wipe out the Iron Hook Gang in one fell swoop?"

Raven took the risk and continued to probe Atto, trying to make sure the man had no other intentions!

“There are some things Sarah has to do herself; I can’t help her. Otherwise, her revenge will turn to me, even with the overwhelming difference in strength between us. That’s just the kind of person she is,” Ato replied matter-of-factly.

He didn't deny that he could kill Plank right now! That was Raven's first thought, before he realized that he knew about the past between the captain and Plank!

As one of Sarah's earliest followers, he naturally understood why Sarah specifically targeted the Iron Hook Gang for hunting; apart from a few others on the ship, no one else knew this.

Why was the captain so certain that Ato was in danger? Perhaps they knew each other in the past!

That's how he learned that Planck was the person the captain would seek revenge on no matter the cost!

"Alright, I'll take you to see the captain. However, if you do anything to threaten the captain's safety, no matter who the enemy is, I will protect the captain with my life!"

Most of the people on the dock were watching the man carrying the terrifying giant sword.

Seeing him and another person leave in a small boat, they all noted down this strange scene, preparing to report it to the forces behind them.

The small boat meandered across the water, gradually leaving the slaughterhouse dock.

Actually, the area around the pier is quite spacious, with a low and flat terrain and a very wide sea nearby.

But large cargo ships filled almost every part of the sea, reminding Ato of parking lots in the real world.

Sailing to an area closer to the open sea, Ato finally spotted the "Siren" anchored in a secluded bay.

This is a hybrid-powered ship that Sarah stole from a pirate captain. It is slightly smaller than a cargo ship, but its hull is covered with steel armor. Now it serves as Miss Fortune's main mobile base in Bilgewater.

The crew saw from afar that First Mate Raven was preparing to make way, and then they discovered that the mysterious man the captain had repeatedly warned about yesterday was also there!

"Captain, something terrible has happened! The first mate has been taken hostage by the mysterious man from yesterday!"

"What?" Sarah in the captain's cabin suddenly stood up, thinking she had misheard when she heard her subordinate's report.

The man who called himself Atuo said we'd see each other again soon, but it was so soon—it was only the second day!

Sarah quickly went up to the deck. The small boat was already very close to the "Siren". Raven looked serious, while Ato waved to Sarah when he saw her.

"We meet again, Mr. Atto." Sarah was both amused and exasperated. Unless absolutely necessary, she really didn't want to have anything to do with Atto again.

After bringing the two aboard, Sarah instructed her men to remain calm and went into the captain's cabin alone with Atto.

Sarah invited Atto to sit down, but couldn't help glancing a few more times at the giant sword floating behind him.

It has remained silent this time, which suggests that something else has happened since then.

"Mr. Atto, may I explain why you've come?"

"We parted in such a hurry yesterday that I didn't have a chance to ask you a question. Miss Sarah, it's very important."

"What's the problem?" Sarah couldn't help but feel nervous when she saw how serious Atto was.

Ato stroked his chin and asked, "Have you ever seen a bald mage with purple skin?"

“This…” Sarah hesitated. In fact, she had never seen such a person before. Atto’s description was very distinctive. If she had seen him, she would definitely remember him.

But if she answered that she hadn't seen him, she didn't know what Atto might do.

“It seems you haven’t seen it before.” Ato knew the answer from Sarah’s expression. “It’s alright, Miss Sarah. Not having seen it before is the answer itself. Besides, you will see it soon.”

Sarah breathed a sigh of relief, but then a new question arose: Who was that mage? Why did even Ator consider him important?

However, Sarah understood one principle: never ask what you shouldn't ask.

What Ator wants to know must be beyond the realm of ordinary people; delving deeper would be dangerous. Wait, I'll see him soon?

"I'm sorry, Mr. Atto, but this concerns the safety of everyone on board. Mages are rare and powerful beings, and mages are seldom seen in Port Piraeus. Could you tell me if encountering that mage would be a disaster for the 'Siren'?"

Could it be that Planck hired someone to capture her? Sarah was on high alert.

As Ato watched Sarah's changing expressions, he wondered what this woman was imagining this time. If he didn't pull her back soon, she'd probably be thinking about things that were way out of control.

"Don't be nervous, that purple-skinned mage... he's a good person, yes, a really good person." Atuo said with a serious expression.
