The merman, my man novel Chapter 222

I watched as Gary returned to his cabin, and found an opportunity to return on board the Seeker. Hiding inside my own cabin to observe the other ship discreetly, I saw Bob speaking to Miya while holding a map. I had a hunch that he was talking about the specific location where the remains of the atomic bomb were. Several black-clad bodyguards were standing behind him and carrying black briefcases that probably contained cash, but the crystals obviously weren’t around, nor were there any suitable containers. So, where could they be?

I studied the situation closely, skipping past the bodyguards behind Bob when I suddenly felt my heart clench. I turned back to the bodyguards, focusing unwittingly on a towering brown-haired man wearing shades.

There was nothing that connected him to Dicken in appearance aside from his rather pale skin, and he looked like a stranger otherwise. Even so, I was unable to shift my eyes away from him.

But, I could swear that I didn’t have eyes for any other man!

If Dicken could alter his physical structure by consuming human marrow, could he change his appearance using another method as well? Was it possible that he killed someone and took their appearance after killing them?

A bold hunch occurred to me then, and it made sense if it was Dicken. I had to find him and confirm it, or I would get frustrated and blow up because I couldn’t be sure if I was mistaken.

I had to find a way to get a ship, but doing it during daylight was impossible. I didn’t want Gary and Bob seeing me, so I’d have to wait until nighttime. I would need to dive into the sea and wait for the perfect chance to board that ship.

Holding up my binoculars to study what was going on that ship, I began to plan my operation for the night. I saw several people entering a cabin from the deck, and it seemed that there was some sort of banquet. The unusual man I saw was following them as well, and soon disappeared in the crowd.

As it slowly got dark, the Seeker and the other ship slowly unberthed and left the harbor.
