I will Save this Doomed Plot

Chapter 165: To the East!(5)

Luke gripped the mop and bucket tighter, he made sure that he won't break it but he made sure it is tight enough so that the mop and bucket will leave marks of his rage. Luke sighed and heard Nash growl in his head.

• Did they just tell you to clean the floor?! Do they want to die?!

Luke sighed, his jaw clenched.

"Forget it; let's just do their bidding for the time being. Nash, I'll mop the floor while you look after the lookout and Songbird."

• But, Dad! They are clearly looking down-!

"Then that is good, I intend for them to look down on me in the first place. I came here only to see the princess, not to impress them. It will also be easier for me to leave if they look at me like that."

Nash frowned and pouted. He clearly doesn't like how these pirates are treating his dad, but because his dad is in the middle of an act, he can't risk ruining anything for him. Nash just decided to sit angrily on the ledge of the deck and looked at the sea with Songbird beside him. Luke positioned Songbird next to him so that he could mop the floor.

Luke grabbed the mop and dipped it into the bucket, then twisted it a bit to release excess water and began mopping the floor. He then felt as if he had returned to the past, where he was once again a janitor. It is not really a good memory to remember to be honest, but he cannot help but remember.

'I should really get a large sum of money from the Empress after this... I'll take whatever money I can get... Because if I don't get paid for this stupid mission, I'm going to riot and blow this damn ship up.'

While mopping the floor, Luke kept those sinister thoughts in mind, and while doing so, he didn't notice the observant stares of Paris and the other crewmates directed at him, but Nash noticed and glared at them. The pirates were unaffected by Nash's glare and continued to stare, but there is another group of people staring from a distance, and they are all looking at Luke with puzzled expressions on their faces.

"What... What on earth is he doing?"

"Is he... mopping?"

"And he appears to be skilled while doing it; I am impressed."

"Yeah- wait, that is not the point! Why is he mopping the damn floor?!"

Mira frowned and pointed to Luke, who was peacefully mopping the floor on the deck's top. Erdene frowned.

"I knew it; I should've just sunk that ship..."

"I am with you on this one, grandpa."

Erdene and Mira turned around to see Liam and Snow glaring at the ship as they prepared their aura and powers. They appear to be preparing to sever that ship into pieces. Erdene simply sighed and rubbed his temples.

"Calm down, you two. We're here to keep an eye on him, not to interfere."

However, it appears that the two did not hear him and continued to stare at the ship.

"I'll get the head of the guy who ordered brother to mop the floor..."

"I'm going to freeze their blood and feed it to the sharks..."

Marina and Trent approached the two, concerned, and attempted to calm them down.

"Please take a deep breath."

"Let's just put our trust in the young master on this one..."

Liam creases his brow and lowers his sword; Snow does the same with her hands and then simply sighs. Liam and Snow then looked down at their feet, where they could see the ocean water. That's right; with Mira's help, they're currently standing on water. They are also undetected due to Erdene's invisible barrier, which covers all of them and prevents the pirates from seeing them. They decided to temporarily leave Klein to the care of the other mermaids there and decided to check on Luke's condition.
