Two o'clock in the morning.
The night in Kyoto still bustled with activity. At that moment, at a certain seaport in Kyoto, a huge cruise ship was docked at the shore.
The surroundings were pitch-dark, all lights were turned off.
Yet in the darkness, one could vaguely see that there were guards on watch.
Flashlights flickered from time to time.
William Cole and Vermilion Bird, along with more than thirty people on a few black dinghies, all top-notch experts of the Shadow Guard, were on the sea surface one kilometer away.
Tonight, to save Minnie Wright, William Cole had brought his most trusted team.
Vermilion Bird, dressed in a sharkskin wetsuit amidst the sea breeze, pointed towards the cruise ship ahead, "Our people have already disguised themselves as crew members and are waiting for us on board."
"Ms. Minnie Wright is in a cabin in the middle of the ship. The people of Cloud City have not mistreated her and have provided good food and drink."
