The captain was so scared that he pissed his pants on the spot and cried out, "Spare me! I'll talk! I’ll tell you everything!" 4
Then, he choked, "I've always been in charge of driving the cruise ship for Lord Schulz, but this time, h e sent me here specifically for this task. Originally, he did not intend to rescue Miss Schulz tonight as it would not only cost a lot of money, but it would also mean getting himself into a great deal of trouble, so he deliberately set up a scheme..."
Charlie frowned and asked, "What scheme?”
The captain answered frankly, "According to the plan, after the ship leaves tonight, I would sail it directly to the designated location on the sea where the Maritime Self-Defense Force will be waiting in ambush there. Once we arrive at the designated location, they will immediately siege our ship and capture Miss Schulz..."
Charlie was even more confused. "Capture her? But why? Why does he want Rosalie to be captured again after putting in so much effort to rescue her?”
The captain shook his head and said, "Uh... I truly have no idea. I'm only following Lord Schulz's instruction."
Charlie asked again, "What about the crossbowman from earlier?"
The captain hurriedly answered, "His name is Casen Good. He is the king of crossbows who is famously known in the assassin world. Lord Schulz intended to make him the contingency plan..."
Charlie once again pursued, "What contingency plan? You'd better give me a clear explanation at once, or I'll kill you right now!"
The captain cried out in fright, "I’ll talk! I'll talk! I’ll spill everything! The contingency plan was for Mr. Good to kill Miss Schulz with his crossbow and hand over her body to the Self-Defence Force if they failed t o capture her!"
Rosalie instantly turned pale when she heard this...
She spoke in a loud voice, shocked and bewildered," What did you say? Lord Schulz's contingency plan was to kill me?!"
"Yes, t-that's right..." The captain nodded repeatedly and said seriously, "The original plan was to go directly to the designated location once you got on board, but you suddenly decided to pursue this man, t o which Lord Schulz agreed, so we made a slight detour. Lord Schulz also specifically called to tell me that I should take you to kill this man first, and then drive you to the designated location to meet with the Self-Defense Force. He also said that under any uncontrollable circumstances, I must let Mr. Good execute the contingency plan, which was to kill you. This was the only way to spare all later trouble..."
Tears filled Rosalie's eyes. She shook her head desperately and shouted, "Impossible! You are bluffing! How could Lord Schulz order you to kill me?! I'm his..."
