Moyou and Ishida Takeo, Koudou got up from their seats and left the dining hall. Before long, they arrived at Ishida's room on the second floor.

  Muyang looked around and found that the conditions here were not as good as his own room, and there was no porthole either. "Shi Tianjun, why do you live in such a low-grade cabin?" Muyang asked in confusion.

  Ishida Takeshi smiled slightly and said, "Kurita-san doesn't know this, but although the conditions here are not as comfortable as those in the upper-class cabins, there is one advantage - it's closest to the cargo hold on the lower deck. I'm in charge of escorting these supplies, so I couldn't slack off and stayed right here. Moreover, the soldiers responsible for escorting also live on the second floor."

  "Ishida-sama has been loyal to the Empire and it's truly admirable." Muyou said with feigned courtesy.

  Three men sat down, and Ishida Takeo began to explain the goods being transported this time: "There are 25 tons of gold ingots, 5 tons of platinum, over 10,000 carats of unprocessed precious stones, three boxes of US, British, and Hong Kong currencies, 15 boxes of handicrafts, 1,000 tons of tin, 1,000 tons of tungsten, 2,000 tons of aluminum, 500 tons of titanium, and 2,000 tons of rubber. Including antimony, mercury, etc., the total is 6,530 tons."

  He said here, and then looked at Jiang Ting Island again, saying: "Of course, plus the 11 boxes of Chinese antiques and treasures loaded from Shanghai."

  Mu Yang's heart sank, and he nodded: "Indeed, it's not a small number. This is just the quantity of one time. Have we ever made statistics? How many times have there been on this scale?"

  Ishida Takeshi shook his head, "I'm not quite clear about this information. I also transported on the Kikumaru last time, but there weren't as many goods as this time. You know that the situation in Southeast Asia has been getting worse recently, so we've accelerated the speed and quantity of transportation."

  "Mr. Ishida, are the antiques and treasures shipped from Shanghai stored together with those goods?"

  Ishida hesitated for a moment before saying: "Yes, and the valuable items brought from Southeast Asia are all in one room."

  Muyang sensitively caught a word in Ishida Takeo's speech, he said it was the room, not the cargo hold. To know, such a cruise ship, general goods are usually placed on the bottom layer of the cargo hold, I estimate that those rubber, tin, tungsten, aluminum, titanium and other bulk materials were placed in the cargo hold, while those such as gold, platinum, jewelry, antique crafts and other valuable items were likely to be placed inside the guest room. Now thinking back, it is most likely this second floor of the cruise ship, otherwise Ishida Takeo would not have heavily guarded here and personally sat here to keep watch.

  At this time, Muyang suddenly said: "Really want to see those treasures, well, it's getting late, Ishida-kun, I'm going to say goodbye."

  After finishing speaking, Muyang stood up, and Jiang Tingdao also bid farewell to Ishida Takeo. The two returned to the guest room on the upper floor together.

  In the room, Mu Yang lay on the bed, with his arms under his head, staring blankly at the deck above. At this moment, he was thinking about how to enter that room filled with a large number of treasures.

  Kill Kōjima Tōdai, then disguise himself as him and ask to inspect the batch of Chinese antiques he brought? Mokuyou didn't have a foolproof plan for this method, estimating that Ishida Takeo would likely refuse Kōjima's request, after all, it was a troublesome and unsafe thing to do an inspection midway without any reason.

  Is it necessary to kill Ishida Takeo, use his identity to order the soldiers to open the room, and then enter himself, using spatial ability to transport all materials away? This is feasible, but it's just that I don't know the situation in the room. What if I make a mistake and everything goes down the drain?

  Muyang was at a loss for a moment, both options were feasible and had loopholes, it just depended on how he chose. However, Muyang still wanted to try an experiment, using his identity to see if he could get Ishida Takeo to open the door and let him in for a look, that would be the best outcome.

  The next day at noon, Muyang did not see Ishida Takeo in the cafeteria and was about to go directly to the second floor to find him. However, at the entrance of the second floor, he was stopped by a soldier. Even when Muyang showed his military ID and said he was a friend of Ishida Takeo's, the soldier did not allow him to enter, only telling Muyang that Major Ishida was busy and had no time to see visitors for the time being.

  Muyang had no choice but to come out reluctantly. He didn't go back to his room, instead he walked up to the top deck.

  It's already late October and soon to be November, although it's noon, the sea breeze is still a bit cool. However, what's urgent in Mu Yang's mind right now is to take a walk in the sea breeze to calm himself down.

  "Kurita-san, what brings you up on deck?"

  At this time, a voice came from behind, and Mu Yang turned around to see Jiang Tengdao walking over with his arm around a woman.

  Mu Yang glanced at Jiang Tingdao and then looked at the woman beside him. He really didn't expect that Jiang Tingdao would bring a woman on board.

  Upon seeing Muyo's gaze, Kaito Island smiled and said: "This is Inutsuki Akiko-san, I met her on the ship. By the way, why are you alone here? Why didn't you go to the bar to have some fun?"

  "I was just thinking of going to find Ishida Takeo to chat, but his soldiers wouldn't let me into the second-class cabin, saying that Mr. Ishida is busy with something, it seems that even on the ship, Mr. Ishida is working hard." Mo Yang said helplessly.

  "Hahaha, Kutoda-san doesn't know, but my senior has a biggest hobby, that is women. I think he must have been busy with women all night, so he can't get up in the daytime and continues to sleep." said Tokito Island with a smile.

  Then he began to introduce his past as an elder fellow student.

  Ishida Takeo was two years senior to Toh Ei and the two did not know each other at school, but they met occasionally in the army and talked, only then did they realize that they were upper and lower classmates, and then became familiar with each other.

  Ishida Takeo's greatest hobby is women, he claims to be tall and proud, likes all kinds of women, from China to Southeast Asia, he is not picky, even the dark-skinned Indonesian girls that others look down on will be taken by him for a try. His motto is to taste all women, but now it is limited to Asia, which makes him regretful.

  Mu Yang felt a chill run down his spine. What kind of hobby was this? It was truly a beastly nature. Was he trying to compare himself to the Black Dragon?

  "Did Kurita-san have some business with Ishida-senpai?" asked Gotōshima in the end.

  "There's nothing going on, I just wanted to invite him out for a drink." Muyang made up a lie.

  "That's perfect, tonight the three of us will have a good drink together at the bar, I'll treat." said Jiang Tingdao generously.

  Muyang watched as Jiang Tengdao walked away, a faint smile appearing on his face.

  It's said that opportunities often arise unexpectedly, and now is one such chance. Ishida Takeo, it seems I'll have to treat you well tonight.

  At this time, "Chrysanthemum Maru" had already sailed out of the East China Sea and was passing through the ōsumi Strait, heading towards the eastern Pacific Ocean.
