Chapter 301 Miss Oceans

The elite top deck of THE BUTCH looked like a royal garden under the early morning sun. It was a private oasis on the superyacht with teak flooring polished to a shine. Oversized loungers padded with weatherproof cushions littered the area, and a small infinity pool flowed off the edge. Potted palms swayed gently in the sea breeze, while a discreet bar cart offered fresh fruits, chilled water, and morning beverages. Tyler reclined on one gilded lounger in his swim trunks. His upper body was bare to catch the rays for a tan. Beside him, Derek Sentinel was bent forward, carrying a holographic device that projected an oceanic map in the air. "If Lazarus Briar hits us at the convergence…" Tyler said, pointing to a glowing point on the holo-map. "We'll need the ships with the Gilded Men to form a vanguard perimeter with their warded hulls. If things go south, I will have to bring out Indra's Vajra. I don't know how effective it will be in a marine environment, but I guess we will find out."
