Domineering Lover novel Chapter 717

Adam watched the landscape flashing backward from the window, brooding over the pastime he spent with Tracey. He couldn't afford to lose her.

After getting off the train, Adam grabbed a quick bite and headed to the port.

He felt the port familiar because Tracey had been here.

It was a small port, so if the ship on which were Tracey had been the only one at anchor here that day, perhaps he could find a witness.

The port was quiet with a few boats on the water.

Adam looked around and found an old man smoking on the stairs.

"Good afternoon, what are you doing here?" Adam approached him and asked.

"Waiting for the sunset. What are you doing here?" The old man looked at Adam.

"I am here to find my fiancee. She also likes the sea."

"Where is she?"

"I don't know. Would you help me?"

"What can an old man do for you?"

"A few days ago..." Adam briefly told him what had happened.

The old man pondered a while and said, "I saw two ships that morning, but I don't know which ship your fiancee was on."

"Can you describe them a little?"

"One was a passenger ship, and the other was a black ship."

"A black ship?" Tracey couldn't be on a passenger ship so only one ship was left.

"It had a black sail with no marks on it. I don't think it was a normal ship."

"How's that?" Adam frowned.

"When I was a boy, the society was in turmoil."

"Bandits and pirates were everywhere. At times, I saw pirate ships outside our village."

They got skeleton marks on their sails and black rags over the ship. So I thought that black ship was a pirate ship."

"It had a battery on its deck which is strictly forbidden by the government."

"And people on that ship were in tatters and looked fierce. Young man, if your fiancee is on that ship, it's unlikely that you can save her." The old man squinted and puffed smoke into the air.
