The maid happily left the room and headed straight to the deck. As soon as she left, Rachel walked out of the room. She walked towards the stairs and tapped the earpiece in her left ear with her finger. She heard Quintin’s voice in her ear. “Boss, head to basement one and go left. The fifth room is Alice’s.” Rachel hummed her acknowledgment. Quintin was looking at two red dots flashing on the digital blueprint of the entire ship on his tablet.

One indicated Rachel, and the other was Alice. After hesitating for a while, he said, “Boss, you have to be very careful.” “Quintin, I didn’t know you were such a talkative person,” Rachel said as a smile curved her lips. Quintin replied, “I’m just worried…” “Don’t worry. I won’t let Alice see me before the plan is in action,” Rachel tried to comfort Quintin, knowing what he was worried about. “Boss, you don’t have to take matters into your own hands.

You only have to ask me to do it.” “No! I told you that I’ll avenge Abby,” Rachel said firmly. By now, she had reached the basement. Quintin pursed his lips and wanted to argue, but he kept quiet when he saw the distance between the two red dots decrease on his tablet. He didn’t want to say anything because he was afraid he would distract Rachel. Rachel reached the fifth room. Once again, Quintin’s voice came over the earpiece.

“Boss, you only need to stick that thing on the doorknob. The moment Alice touches it to open the door, her hand will get contaminated with the powder.” Rachel took out a small round packet from her pocket. Her eyes darkened, and she tore open the wrapper and stuck what was inside on the doorknob. Then, she proceeded to take a medicine bottle from her pocket and swallowed one pill.

It was the antidote for the sticker she had just stuck on the doorknob. The sticker was made of powder, and the most important ingredient was datura. Datura caused people to have hallucinations. It could also make them weak. Although there wasn’t much datura in the powder, it was quite potent.

 

As soon as it touched someone’s skin, it would penetrate the body and affect the people without them realizing it at all. Quintin asked, “Boss, have you taken the antidote? Do you feel any discomfort?” Rachel answered by tapping her earpiece twice.
