Chapter 80: Chapter 80 – Finding the ability user

“Check every room. This ship is loaded with luxury things,” a gruff voice whispered.

Feng frowned deeply. ‘As I guessed, they must be pirates. But how do they have the power to freeze time for only certain people?....’

“This is a great find, cap’n. Hoo I love this!!” someone suddenly touched the skirt she was hiding under.

Feng silently grasped the kept tightly, ready to attack at anytime.

The skirt was lifted a bit. She could see the dirty hand.....

Feng held her breath.

“Stop, don’t waste me precious time. We can do all that back in our ship.” another hand gripped the one and pulled it back. The shirt fell back down again.

.....

She let out a breath of relief.

“first haul in the valuables. Then take the women and children.” The gruff voice whispered and walked away.

She heard the other footsteps also join him.

‘There is only a small timeframe for me to escape. After they steal the jewels and other things, they will come after the women and children’

lady Hiliana had once told her that power users will always show signs.

For Aiden, as soon as he manifested his ability, his shiny blond hair showed small signs of snow in it. Even when it was not cold, it would freeze a bit.

Ethan had static electricity every time. His curly blond hair would stick up like a hedgehog every time in the morning. ‘I just need to look for obvious signs,’

‘But what kind of signs will a time freezer will have?’

Feng softly held her breath and peaked out. There were almost twenty men and two were leading them.

The one with the gruff voice, the captain was quite old and was favouring his right leg more.

The young man who pulled up the skirt was sleazy looking as she had expected. He had an ugly smile pasted on his face at all times. Every time he went past a frozen woman, he perversely touched their boobs.

‘Perverted freak!’ she cursed at him in her mind.

But she was not noticing anyone different amongst them. Everyone looked like that sleaze bag pulling down the blouse of the frozen woman as they went.

‘Who is the one freezing time?’

She keenly looked at each of their faces. None of them looked any different. She pulled the skirt down and closed her eyes.

‘What if the time user is not with them... what if... he is back in their ship? That’s right, if I was the captain I would have done that. Given that this user would have a wide range over his powers....’

She scratched her head, confusedly. ‘I can’t take the chances though.. What if the time user is here?..’

“Let go of me!!!” a young child’s voice suddenly screamed.

Feng’s eyes went wide. ‘There was someone else who was unfrozen.’ She slightly pulled the skirt up and glanced at the pirates.

They were pulling down a certain blond girl who was screaming and kicking.

‘I’ll be darned!! is that Clarina? How is she still conscious?’

“What is this?” the captain pulled her up by her collar. “You said that freak’s powers will freeze everyone.” He glanced at the young guy next to him.

“yes... but it can’t freeze the one who has the same power.” He smilingly glanced at Clarina. “Cap’n we have hauled in a treasure. This girl is going to be our golden goose.. he-he-he”

“I said let me go. My master... he will get you...” Clarina softly cried. Her soft cheeks were already tinged red from her struggle.

“aww our little rabbit must be hungry. Why don’t I take her in cap?”

The captain nodded. “Throw her in the dungeons with that freak. We can train her later when she manifests.”

“No!! No!! Please don’t!!! Please let me go!!!” Clarina loudly shouted, punching the man’s shoulders.

Feng watched the man walked over a wooden plank that connected the two ships.

‘This freak they speak off. Is he the one who is controlling time? If so, I think I should follow Clarina.’

While the men ransacked the ship, Feng slowly sneaked out for under the skirt. There were almost twenty frozen women and men on the deck. If she used them properly, she could easily get past the pirates.

She placed a hand on the ground... she could feel the vibration of the footsteps little farther from her. ‘Now...’ she ran towards the nearby woman and hid behind her huge skirt.

“Such luxury. I bet they eat cake every day...” Another pirate walked closer. She rolled over stealthily to the gentleman frozen next to her.

“Jeffery! Get your back to it!” another man ran over and pulled him away.

“come on.. We have all the time. That freak can’t control it, anyway.”

“Shut it. He is like that only because of our cap’n,”

They both chatted around. Feng silently listened. ‘He can’t control it, huh? Then how do I get him to stop? Either way, I have to get to that said ‘freak”

Feng crawled with her body close to the ground. The ramp was right next to her.

She swiftly climbed over the rails and crawled on top of it. Just seeing the sea from this vantage point reminded her of the time she almost drowned. ‘Oh dear god have mercy.’ She closed her eyes, refusing to look down. She swiftly crawled over to the other side and ducked down near a barrel.

“Hey Jeffrey! Who is that kid? Is she to be prepped for the Murky hall*?”

“No, she is going to be our training goat...”

Feng crouched low... ‘What is the murky hall? What are they planning to do?’

She watched the man drag Clarina down below the deck.

‘Fucking hell... let do this,’ she slowly crawled closer and down the stairwell.
