Chapter 505 Torrential Rain
They said Benson was a traitor.
Henry died because of Benson's betrayal.
These words seem to have come from Cyril, but if they are true, why didn't he tell Cathy about it when they were on the Two Gold Coins?
Everyone else avoided talking about it.
Benson was filled with grief over Henry's death, but he did not feel remorse for his betrayal.
Therefore, Kathy does not believe that the conclusions currently considered a consensus are true.
Cyril lied.
But why?
In short, Benson really did die.
In Kathy's memory, Benson had the air of a pirate.
Rude, greedy, vain.
However, Kathy doesn't dislike Benson.
He was able to treat Kathy sincerely and express his thoughts and emotions directly.
This made Cathy feel a unique sense of approachability from him.
But even if Cathy thinks this way, there's nothing she can do right now.
He couldn't stop it from happening; Benson was dead, and that was that.
Like many things, Casey was powerless to change them.
The Clown Islands are no longer pirate territory.
This place is filled with all sorts of people: smugglers, maritime speculators, slave traders, and of course, decent people. At the port of Spade Island, Cassie saw several ships belonging to the kingdom.
Cathy recognized the flags; some came from Shoepad Island, some from Palace Bay, and many from lesser-known small families.
Of course, Kathy also saw ships from even further east.
This place has become a place where both the legitimate and criminal worlds coexist, a territory that has been recognized.
The ruler of this place, Cyril, was also granted the title of "Governor".
There were two other pirate leaders on the island, each owning a main island.
However, they had to accept Cyril's control and rule.
Therefore, Cyril had become Henry's rightful successor.
Kathy had nothing more to say about the current situation.
He never imagined becoming a pirate.
He had no desire to possess his father's inheritance.
He loved his father, but that didn't mean he loved his father's pirate identity.
Although he was at that moment seeking help from the pirates.
Cyril agreed to Cathy's request and asked her to wait on the island.
Waiting is always long, and Cathy doesn't like waiting.
After escaping the plateau, Kathy waited.
The longer he waited, the more he felt his own weakness.
But he also knew that only those who wield power can take the initiative.
In the past few days, Cathy, accompanied by Harriet, has toured the island many times.
The scenery on the island is quite nice, and the beach is warm enough.
However, Cyril cautioned him not to leave Spade Island, otherwise he planned to go to Plum Blossom Island and patronize the famous Black Goat Restaurant.
It was a hotel converted from the wreckage of a giant ship.
It is said that Casey's grandfather built this ship and dominated the seas.
Henry also became famous worldwide thanks to this ship.
When it could no longer take any more risks, Henry gave it to Victor.
Cyril said that Victor left with the two gold coins.
Is he alright now?
Kathy knew these people were pirates, but they were also acquaintances of his.
Suddenly, a cool breeze blew by.
Although it is winter now, the Clown Islands have a pleasant climate.
Only occasionally does a downpour occur, bringing extreme cold.
If you're not careful, you can still get sick.
Of course, with Harriet around, Cathy isn't afraid of minor illnesses.
Nevertheless, Cathy didn't want to trouble Harriet too much.
"Let's go, Cathy, it's going to rain," Harriet reminded her.
A dark cloud is rapidly approaching from the southwest, and torrential rain is about to blanket the skies over Spade Island.
But no matter how heavy the rain, it couldn't wash away the sins on this island.
But I will use the power of evil: "Yes, let's go back."
They rushed back to the cabin Cyril had provided, and as soon as they entered, the torrential rain began relentlessly pounding against the wooden walls.
Bang, bang —
Last time, Cathy couldn't get back in time, but Harriet shielded him from most of the rain.
After entering the house, Cathy used a towel to dry Harriet's hair.
Then, Harriet kissed him.
Unfortunately, there wasn't such a scene today.
They can still kiss, but it lacks the special feeling of that day.
That day, Kathy even longed to go further.
What exactly does a closer relationship look like?
Cathy was curious and eager.
But he was also very restrained; he had experienced and lost a lot.
He cherished his only remaining precious person more than ever before.
"Knock knock————"
When the sound came, Kathy initially thought it was the sound of rain.
But they soon realized that someone was knocking on the door.
Harriet immediately tensed up and cautiously went to open the door.
"Oh! I knew it, you two would definitely be inside on rainy days."
As this exclamation rang out, a man draped in a cloak entered.
It's Cyril.
He hung his dripping cloak on the coat rack by the door, then gave Cassius a graceful curtsy: "Are you comfortable on the island, Duke Cassius?"
"Thank you for your concern, Cyril," Casey said calmly, "but I'd rather hear good news from you than your greetings."
"I bring good news," Cyril said with a smile. "The ship you requested is ready."
"Really?" Cathy's eyelids widened involuntarily.
"A three-masted sailing ship, Casey. Although its workmanship is not as good as the Two Gold Coins, I believe it is definitely a sturdy ship. Moreover, it is equipped with two giant crossbows and fifty giant arrows. Even if it encounters an enemy ship, it will be able to fight back."
This was indeed good news, but Casey knew he couldn't reach his destination with just one ship: "Where are the sailors?"
"Of course, the people privately selected are all veterans who have followed your father in battle. Their loyalty to the navigator may continue to you. After all, your father has a personal charisma that no pirate can match."
"But Henry's men were almost all killed in that great battle," Casey said.
"Therefore, I have also gathered some other helpers. These are not pirates, but they are equally experienced. Due to their different allies, you will be able to better balance the power on the ship. As a duke, I believe you can handle the art of power with ease."
Indeed, many people have taught Kathy, but whether she can do it well is another matter.
No! I must do it well!
"Very good, what about the supplies?"
"That's enough for your two-month expedition," Cyril said. "Duke Keshi, I'm doing my best to help you. I've considered everything that needs to be considered. For example, there are excellent helmsmen and navigators on board, so even if you lack sailing experience, you can still cut through the waves."
"I understand, thank you, Cyril."
"To be honest, I also want to join your journey. I am very curious about what kind of adventures the son of the navigator will embark on. I know I am not a hero, but I admire the glory of extraordinary people, so I like to stay by your side. Unfortunately—due to my current status, and the fact that there are forces in the archipelago that I must be wary of, so, Duke Casey, I apologize."
It is indeed a pity. If Cyril were here, Cathy would have someone to rely on.
But—Kay wanted to tell Cyril: "It's alright."
I can't always rely on others.
