Chapter 245 An Encounter with Gray Mo
"Lord Jiang Yu!" Jiang Yu was taking a walk on the beach with A Duo when he heard a cheerful shout coming from the sea.
"Good heavens, whose son is so rude, calling out to you like that?" Aduo said, clutching her chest in disapproval.
Jiang Yu looked over with a smile. After all, A Duo had grown up in the Jiang family of the royal city and had only met the most elite nobles. She valued etiquette and lineage highly. Although she never said anything about Jiang Yu often mingling with commoners, she always felt a little uneasy about it.
A wave broke through the sea in the distance, and a boy seemed to be standing on the wave, appearing before them in an instant.
"Lord Jiangyu, what a coincidence! Are you taking a walk?" Hui Mo jumped into the shallow waves and quickly reached the beach. He smiled broadly and spoke sweetly, "Madam Ador, hello! You look radiant today!"
So A'duo stopped saying anything.
"Oh, it's Hui Mo. Hello." Jiang Yu looked curiously at the spot where Hui Mo jumped down. She had never seen his sea beast before, but she had heard that it was very cute, and it seemed to be extremely fast as well.
"Ah, Lord, you haven't seen a plate before!" Gray Strike scratched his head and waved towards the waves. "Let me show you my plate. Come here, plate."
The sea creature named Panzi was originally hiding in the deeper waves, but upon hearing its master's call, it rushed onto the beach with the waves, startling Aduo so much that she quickly took a step back.
Jiang Yu didn't back down, but just stared at it curiously, "Plate? What a cute name."
This is a huge sea monster that looks like a manta ray, but it looks rounder. Even the part at the front with the mouth and three eyes is flat. The tail that trails behind it is like lightning, but it is rainbow-colored and can be held high.
Although it was lying on the beach, its tail stood upright like a flag and swayed back and forth like a dog's. Its wingspan on both sides of its body also flapped back and forth like wings.
Judging from its appearance alone, it looks both cute and harmless.
“Yes, I even came up with this name!” Graymo proudly raised his head. “Although Boss Keslan and Chief Gray Island both think this name is a bit lacking in prestige, I think it’s the most suitable one.”
"Is the plate known for its speed?" Jiang Yu asked.
"Ah, that's right. The plate is the fastest sea beast in our group, even faster than the mackerel of the Gray Isle leader."
"Is it expensive to hire you to deliver a letter?" Hmm, it sounds like you might be faster than a regular dragon eagle.
"Ah, if it's to help Lord Jiang Yu, I'll be there whenever you call, and I won't take a single penny." Hui Mo chuckled sheepishly. What a joke! Without a doubt, this was the future boss's wife. Daring to take money from the boss's wife? He must have a death wish.
"Then how should I contact you?" Jiang Yu didn't stand on ceremony; she wasn't going to refuse something that was offered to her.
Hui Mo pulled a whistle made of a conch shell from his pocket: "Blow this, and any members of the Sea Beast Gang nearby will immediately come to your side. One long whistle followed by three short whistles is to specifically call for me."
"This is so convenient!" Jiang Yu exclaimed, then asked, "Does your leader of Keslan know that you're always so accommodating to my every request?"
Hui Mo scratched his head and smiled. "Just kidding, Boss Keslan would love to give you his whistle."
"Would you like to touch it?" Hui Mo suggested immediately, seeing Jiang Yu's interest. Jiang Yu asked in surprise, "Is that alright?"
"Of course, you look happy too!" The sea creature and its master were of one mind, and it immediately flapped its wings even more joyfully.
So Jiang Yu didn't stand on ceremony anymore. He squatted down and reached out to touch the smooth back of the plate. The plate made a soft hum, as if it were very happy, just like its owner.
“The leader has been a bit busy lately, so I guess I won’t be able to visit you again for a while,” Hui Mo said suddenly as he stood to the side.
Jiang Yu looked at him suspiciously, thinking, "I didn't ask about your leader, and besides, why does he keep coming here for no reason?" Then, remembering the possibilities she and Fan Qingyin had analyzed earlier, she felt somewhat speechless.
Keslan is indeed impressive. He's tall, handsome, capable, rich, a mafia boss, and expelled from the royal family. Aside from his somewhat unlikable personality, he's a classic example of a beautiful, strong, and tragic character.
But this one has nothing to do with being suitable for home and family, and she wasn't interested in him at all.
Jiang Yu ignored that topic and instead asked something else: "Was the person I met at the bottom of the sea the leader of your Sea Beast Group?"
"That's right, that's right. Chief Yu is the most powerful among the leaders of the Sea Beasts Group. His Mackerel is also a super powerful sea monster. Chief Yu contracted it as soon as he came of age. He's really amazing!" When talking about his most respected leader, Hui Mo became quite talkative.
"Moreover, I was the one who recruited me into the group, and Chief Yu gave me my name. When he picked me up, I didn't even have a contract plate yet. I treat him like my own older brother."
"As far as I know, the Owls have only been around for a few decades, so how come the leaders of the Sea Beasts Group have changed several times?" Jiang Yu asked, puzzled.
"Well, some died on missions, and some tried to provoke Boss Keslan and got eaten." Although he hadn't experienced it firsthand, Hui Mo was still a little scared when he mentioned it.
"Fortunately, the leader of Gray Island is highly capable and has a stable personality, so the boss has always been very satisfied with him."
So that's how it is. Jiang Yu silently kept it in mind.
What may seem like a few scattered pieces of information from afar might come in handy someday. That's what Jiang Yu thought, but she hadn't yet realized that understanding was actually the beginning of her interest.
“Lord…” Hui Mo hesitated for a moment, rubbing his clothes at his side before tentatively asking, “May I invite Chief Yu and the brothers from the Sea Beast Squad to come and play? The boss said that if you don’t agree, the Owl members can’t visit freely.”
Did Keslan also remind you of this? Not bad, Jiang Yu is very satisfied.
“If you’re just inviting your brother or friends for a private gathering, I don’t see any problem. Your leader has already bought it for you, so in principle it’s your territory now.” Jiang Yu patted the back of the plate. To be able to stand on the smooth back of such a sea beast while moving at high speed, its strength was truly not to be underestimated.
She concluded by saying, "You and Keslan both saw that treaty clearly, and you both agreed to and signed it. Don't violate its terms. My bottom line is that the Owl's power cannot encroach on my territory. I think you understand what I mean."
"Understood! I couldn't be clearer!" Hui Mo bowed happily. "I will also inform you of their arrival, so please don't worry!"
