Chapter 97- Anomaly In The Deep (Part 1)

"Eva." As the two women were conversing, they heard Kai's voice coming from the backroom. Eva immediately stood up and looked at Chal.

"Thank you for this conversation. I really had fun."

"Of course you did, you seem to enjoy talking about him, don't you?"

"Fufufufu, I really need to tone it down whenever someone else mentions Kai or it will be troublesome."

"Don't sweat it. If anything, that shows that your feelings are the real deal. I'm happy for both of you."

Chal nodded her head with a satisfied nod.

"Well, off you go, lady."

"Ok. It was nice meeting you, Chal. Let's meet again sometime in the future."

"Mhm, take care, lady."

After that, Eva walked away and entered the room at the back, leaving Chal alone. Her smile slowly disappeared as she closed her eyes. Exhaling a cloud of smoke along with a sigh, she murmured to herself.

"This world is too dark for your pure feelings, lady. Hopefully, they will never by tarnished by it."

"Woah, what is this place?"

The moment Eva entered the room, she exclaimed with a surprised look. In front of her was a rather big-sized dock filled with boats of all kinds. The dock was inside a dark, long tunnel that stretched endlessly as far as the eye can see.

It was as if they were inside a long sewage tunnel albeit not as disgusting.

"This one. I checked it properly for any possible problems. It should work fine." Jumping down from one of the rather mid-sized boats, Kai dusted his hands.

"You know how to fix boats?"

"I learned it in a book," Kai replied as he picked up his bag.

"... I'm really envious of your eidetic memory, Kai," Eva said as she didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Although she herself had a great memory, it wasn't at the level where she can recall a book she read years ago.

"Let's go." Ignoring her remark, Kai urged her to follow him.

The two then jumped on top of the boat and then turn it on before they started moving through the tunnel. The speed of the boat kept picking up slowly.

"To think such a tunnel exists behind that building."

"Chal created it so that she can sell boats to those who didn't want to be seen. This tunnel leads to the southern sea directly."

"That's very clever. And how much does she make from this work?" Eva asked.

"I didn't check my bank account in a while but I think around 5 million a month, more or less."

"Five million? So she's filthy rich? I never expected that!" Eva blinked a few times.

"She only sells to a few people she trusts. She keeps that shabby building so that she doesn't raise any suspicion."

"And what's your share in that?"

"40%."

'A passive income of almost 2.2 million a month is impressive. Kai has a knack for business even though he doesn't seem to be that invested in it.'

Fifteen Minutes passed quietly before a small light finally appeared on the horizon. The boat eventually exited the tunnel and they were welcomed with vast expanses of blue sea.

The cold wind hit their faces which made them immediately channel their Origin to protect themselves from it.

The weather was rather windy and not good for sailing but for two powerhouses like Kai and Eva, it was just like any sunny day of the spring.

Kai increased the speed of the boat as they immediately started traveling south toward the frozen plains.

"How are we going to avoid the sea patrol? It should be close from here." Eva asked as she approached the front part of the boat, looking ahead of them she could see multiple big boats roaming the area. They still didn't notice them but Eva was sure they will see them at any given moment. However, before Kai could answer, Eva's face changed into a mischievous smile.

"Hey, Kai, can you let me deal with them? I have a good idea." She said.

The latter looked at her with squinted eyes before he focused on the horizon again.

"Suit yourself."

"Thank you~" After saying that.

The boat eventually closed the distance and one of the boats noticed them.

"This is a prohibited area! It's illegal to sail here! Go back or we shall consider this a threat and we will open fire." A voice spoke to them.

"Sorry, we can't have that." Saying that Eva approached the edge before she channeled Origin into her legs. After that, she jumped in the air, reaching a few tens of meters in the air.

She then landed on the other boat, shocking the whole crew. They didn't comprehend how this woman just closed a 30-meter distance between them in one leap.

"Hello~" She said with a small smile.

"W-Who are you?!" One of the men yelled as he scrambled to get his gun.

"No need for violence, gentlemen. Just take a nap to relax your nerves." Saying that Eva closed the distance between them in a flash before she touched the first man on the shoulder. The man immediately felt a shock running through his spine before he lost consciousness.

Then, she moved to the next one, knocking him cold too. In a mere second or two, she already made 4 men of the crew fall asleep.

The few left tried to run away for their lives. They didn't understand what was going on but they were certain it wasn't normal! They needed to contact the base!

"No, we can't have that, can we?"

Kicking one of the men down, she jumped to the next one.

"NO! Please, let me go!!"

"Don't worry, I'm just giving you a free nap. Accept my generosity." Eva said as she approached the last man.

"NOOOOO!!!"

Meanwhile, Kai sat casually on the chair waiting for Eva to finish. His solution wasn't that far off from what she did, albeit it would've been less enjoyable to watch.

When Eva finished, she jumped back to the boat.

"Done."

"Good."

The boat then started moving. Since the other boats were far away, they didn't notice the commotion. That was optimal for the duo since wasting time wasn't an option. With every second passing, Kaya could be in danger.

The boat passed the legal borders of the southern sea and entered a territory that wasn't crossed by any human in years.

For some reason, the wind suddenly vanished the moment they entered this territory. The waves also stopped and the sea became calm… deadly calm.

So calm, in fact, that both Kai and Eva could hear themselves breathing.

"This is odd," Eva murmured as she looked around.

The sea at this time of the year should never be calm. The sudden vanishing of the wind was also ticking her off the wrong way.

"Keep an eye. Something is happening." Kai said coldly.

He already sensed the abnormality and he had a bad hunch about it.

The eerie silence prevailed for minutes as the boat kept on moving, albeit carefully. The duo's eyes moved left and right, in search of any possible bizarre changes.

"Hm?" At that moment, Eva's eyes fell on the surface of the water. Squinting her eyes, she asked Kai.

"Hey, was the water in this area always dark?"
