Chapter 728 Watching from the Shadows.
Corvin froze and felt speechless again.
Kieran has changed.
He’s not the easygoing Kieran from before.
Corvin pressed his lips together and explained.

“There’s no need to go ask Silas again. What Silas meant is that as long as Gaellard doesn’t approach Emma, you don’t need to worry about him. But if he tries to get close to Emma, you should drive him away and not let him approach her.”
Kieran nodded.
“Got it.”
Since Corvin couldn’t persuade Kieran, he stood up with a frustrated expression.
Then he went to find Jim.
At first, Corvin hadn’t even noticed that Jim had arrived.
He was about to ask Lucien if he had seen Jim. Then he suddenly realized Jim had been standing in a corner not far away the whole time.
He wore a black outfit and stood next to a black herb.
If someone didn’t look carefully, they might think there was just another pot of black plant there.
“Jim, why are you standing here?”
Corvin jogged over to him and looked him up and down.
He hadn’t looked closely yesterday. Now that he looked carefully today, he realized Jim was actually pretty good–looking.
Of course, he’s definitely not as cute as me.
Jim glanced at Corvin but said nothing.
Corvin didn’t really understand Jim’s personality.
When Jim stayed silent, Corvin assumed it was because Jim had just arrived and wasn’t familiar with him yet.
Maybe he didn’t know how to start a conversation.
Corvin smiled sincerely at him. His eyes moved over Jim.
“Jim, the outfit you’re wearing looks really good.”
Alaric happened to walk by at that moment.
He froze and felt speechless.
Jim also froze and felt speechless.

Corvin didn’t notice Alaric walking past.
He looked at Jim and thought about it.
If someone got praised, they would usually say thanks.
However, after he finished speaking, Jim still said nothing.
Corvin started thinking.
Maybe my compliment wasn’t good enough.
He thought for a moment and continued praising him.
“Jim, this black outfit of yours matches this plant really well. It’s very unique.”
Jim turned his head and looked at the plant beside him.
He froze and felt speechless.

That plant looks so ugly.
What does this guy mean?
Is he calling me ugly?
Corvin had no idea what Jim was thinking.

Chapter 729 Corvin’s Frustration
When Corvin saw that im still didn’t speak, he scratched his head in frustration.
What’s going on with Him?
Why is he staying silent?
Is it because I haven’t praised him enough?
Should I praise him more?
Corvin looked at Jim and tried again. He searched his brain for more words he could use as compliments.
“Jim, and your hairstyle is also very special!”
Corvin pointed at Jim’s slightly messy hair and gave a thumbs–up,

“This is what you call messy style! It looks really laid back. It also looks wild. It’s like… like a pile of dry grass that just got struck by lighting. It somehow looks tough and full of life!”
Not far away, Alaric had been pretending not to pay attention. When he heard that, he stumbled and almost tripped over his own feet.
A pile of dry grass that got struck by lightning?
Is that supposed to be a compliment?
After hearing his hair compared to a pile of dry grass that got struck by lightning, Jim slowly lifted his eyelids.
He looked at Corvin with the same expression someone would use when staring at an idiot. His gaze swept over Corvin coldly.
f looks could kill, Corvin would probably already be buried under that pile of dry grass.
However, Corvin didn’t notice the signal at all.
When he saw Jim finally look at him, he thought his enthusiasm had finally worked.
Corvin felt encouraged. He stepped closer and stared at Jim’s face.
Then he kept praising him.
Jim, your skin is also very white. It’s even whiter than the fresh paint on the wall of our warship!”
Alaric stood beside them.
He quietly covered his face and walked farther away.
He was afraid that if he kept listening, Jim might lose control and assassinate Corvin right there. If that happened, the blood might splash all over him.
Jim looked at Corvin standing in front of him. The fingers at his side moved slightly, as if he was holding back the urge to pull out a
knife.

Chapter 729 Corvin’s Frustration
He felt that the guy in front of him wasn’t praising him.
He was provoking him.
The air became completely silent.
Corvin had already used every compliment he could think of.
Jim still stood there like a mute. His face showed no expression.
The smile on Corvin’s face finally faded.
This guy really isn’t giving me any respect.
In his entire life, Corvin had never worked this hard to praise someone.
He had never even used this many nice words on Emma before.
“Hey!”
Corvin looked at Jim with irritation.
“Jim, aren’t you going too far? I’ve said so much that my lips are almost worn out. You should at least say something!”
Jim still didn’t move. Corvin became even more annoyed. His voice suddenly rose much louder.

“Even one word is fine! Can you say ‘mm‘ or ‘oh‘? Someone praises you, and you don’t react at all. You keep staying silent. Isn’t that rude?”
Jim looked at the furious Corvin. Then he glanced at the black herb beside them.
Jim said, “Oh.”
Corvin froze.
He stared at the calm man in front of him with wide eyes.
“That’s it? You just say ‘oh‘?”
Corvin raised one finger. His hand trembled slightly as he pointed at him.
“I praised you so many times just now, and you only gave me one word?”
Jim didn’t speak.
He only tilted his head slightly. His calm eyes landed on the ugly, black herb again.
I already replied. What else does he want?
Corvin felt completely speechless.
It was the first time he had felt so frustrated talking to someone.
He even felt the urge to start cursing.

Chapter 729 Corvin’s Frustration
Why is he like this?
How can anyone communicate with him?
“Can you say a few more words? I came to you because I actually have something important to say.”
When Jim heard it was important, he stayed silent for a second.
Jim said, “Go ahead.”
Corvin felt speechless again.
Well, at least this time he said one more word than before.
Corvin took a deep breath and spoke to Jim.
“Just now, Silas said you should go drive away Andre, who has been following our warship…”
Before he finished speaking, a gust of wind passed by his face.
Jim’s figure instantly disappeared.
Corvin froze.
Where did he go?
I haven’t even finished speaking yet.
