The merman, my man novel Chapter 221

‘Where am I?’

I opened my heavy eyelids as I woke from my dream to see a wooden ceiling with many cracks.

Muddleheaded, I stared at it for a while before my mind slowly cleared up, and I realized that I was in m y own cabin on the Seeker. There was no question that Dicken brought me here, too.

F*ck!

Promptly sitting up in agitation, I hastily ran a hand through my messy hair and leaped off the bed.

However, just as I was about to head outside, I noticed the items I always used to disguise myself, and suddenly had a plan.

I needed to find Dicken and catch up to him. But, I couldn’t risk exposing myself to the German company, not when Gary was with them. I must have a proper disguise and be as discreet as possible.

With that in mind, I picked up a pair of scissors and walked up to the mirror, cutting my already-short hair even shorter. Fortunately, it was now black after I reverted to human form. I tanned my pale skin as much as possible, putting on a fake beard and aviator glasses after I had done so. My reflection in the mirror now appeared to be a middle-aged man, and I almost couldn’t recognize myself.

After also putting on fake tan over the skin behind my ears and neck, I picked up my gun, binoculars, and other equipment. I stuffed them in a plastic bag since I might go underwater later, and I needed them functional. With everything prepared, I put on my old jacket and stepped out.

The entire ship was quiet, and no one was around even after I walked a lap around it. All I heard was static from a walkie-talkie lying on a desk in the captain’s cabin. Picking it up, I pressed a button and spoke into it a few times, and soon received responses from Luna and my fellow crew.

They soon informed me that David was still continuing his deal with the mafia and the German company, and he was now the middleman who would travel to Japan with the rest of them.
