Conquering The Game's World-Chapter 158 Rosaline Port!

Pharmos City, Rosaline Port.

The sky was dark, and the moon cast a faint glow over the coastline, where a multitude of ships were anchored. Even at nighttime, the container yard was a hive of activity for the workers, with its vast expanse filled with thousands of containers waiting to be loaded and unloaded. In a certain area of the container yard, a few humans were busy working together, using the specialized chassis to transport the cargo from the yard to the ship. The tall brown man with an imposing figure towered over the group of individuals before him. With a voice that boomed like thunder, he barked out a command, his eyes ablaze with fury. "Move fast! You lazy lot! We haven't got all day!"

Upon hearing his words, the workers hung their heads down, speeding up on their work while also feeling resentment towards him. One worker, who seemed quite exhausted, complained.

"Boss, the ship will depart at dawn. Only a few containers on this corner and the last batch that hasn't arrived are left. It won't take long to load them, so can't we take just a little rest? We have been working since early morning."

He glared at the worker, making him shudder with his gaze. Then said with a cold expression. "Complete the work first. Otherwise, I'll let you rest in peace inside the ocean."

"G-got It! Boss! I suddenly don't feel tired at all! I'll work! Who needs rest?!"

Scared out of his wits, the threatened worker scurried away, not daring to stay near his boss for fear of losing his precious life.

The tall man didn't care about him and turned back to look at the woman standing some distance away from him, checking on the containers, working like a proper assistant would.

"Muse, how long will it take for the rest of the goods to arrive here?"

When Muse heard his question, she checked the time and the data on the list she was holding and then answered.

"Boss, as per the scheduled time. They should have reached the first pickup location by now." The tall man nodded with a thoughtful expression, then a moment later he said with a small frown, "… Call the agent and check if everything is going accordingly."

"Huh?" Muse knit her brows and asked in doubt. "Did something happen, boss?"

It annoyed him a bit when Muse didn't carry out his order right away and instead questioned him. However, thinking that she had always worked under him as an efficient secretary. His dissatisfaction subsided, and he expressed his reason.

"No, it's just that I'm having a bad feeling about this delivery. Maybe it's just my imagination, but I am worried that this shipment is going to be difficult."

Muse's eyes squinted for a moment and several thoughts appeared inside her mind, but her professional smile masked all her emotions. "I see, just a second, boss."

So as not to make that man impatient anymore, she didn't ask further questions and made the call to that said agent.

He nodded, waiting for the call to be connected and to confirm that his worries were unfounded. However.

*Beep! *

"Boss, the agent rejected the call," Muse said with a neutral expression.

"Try, again." The tall man said with a deep frown. Muse nodded and did as she was told, but this time, they couldn't even reach the agent. "He turned off his device." She showed an angry expression and expressed her doubt. "Boss, could it be that the agent defected?" The tall man's expression turned solemn, and then he shook his head and said in a heavy voice. "It shouldn't be the case unless he wants to die." They all have Curse Mark planted inside them. Unless someone doesn't care about his life, there should be no possibility of betrayal.

"If that's not the case then, it can only mean one thing." A serious expression appeared on his face, as he concluded. "It's a distress signal!"

Muse's eyes widened, and she showed a shocked expression. "N-no way?!"

The tall man had a heavy expression on his face, and he was deep in thought. 'Even if someone caught them. With the existence of Curse Mark, there should be no information leak.' He tried to assure himself, but the bad feeling inside him kept increasing so much that it became difficult for him to ignore it. "No! I can't take this lightly." Finally, he made a swift decision and ordered. "Muse! Let everyone load the rest of the containers fast! We are going to advance our departure time!"

Muse asked, "Should I apply for permission to set sail early?" To which he shook his head in denial. "No, we don't have time to waste! Get the crew ready! Once these containers are loaded, we will sail right away!"

"Yes, Boss! I'll get it done!" Muse left and the tall man was standing there alone, contemplating something.

---

After giving out the orders to prepare for the departure. Muse was observing them loading the containers with a neutral expression on her face, as if she were inspecting their work. However, in contrast to her professional appearance, her thoughts were different.

'I want to beat these bastards to death!'

***

Eaves of the South Forest. A hover car was moving in fast motion towards Gusto Town. Along the way, Luis had already contacted the mayor to prepare the transport circle to Pharmos City and informed the naval officers to restrict the ships from sailing.

"I hope those naval officers can stall some time for us." He mumbled while sighing.

Alicia asked. "Luis, do you know the destination of that ship?" He shook his head. "Those agents didn't know. Apparently, they only had information up to the point their part of the work was over. Which is delivering those kids to the Rosaline Port. For after that, they got no clue."

*Sigh*

When she heard his answer, Alicia sighed. "This is so troublesome. It's like some kind of information chain controlled by someone limiting the sharing of information between all the criminals involved in this crime."
