The incident lasted only a few seconds. Neptune let go of Gloria who was still dumbfounded.
Jeez!
Gloria's face turned red. It turned out that she too enjoyed Neptune's kiss. She immediately became normal, to maintain authority in front of her troops.
"LET US GO!" Gloria said walking quickly ahead.
One of the troops threw a smoke bomb. They disappeared within the thinning smoke.
Renderman was stunned. The man was still in shock from the previous incident.
Now in front of everyone Neptune kissed Gloria.
Within a few days Renderman encountered several extraordinary existences.
Nov Lam, Mr. Lambart, Wild Cats, Red Wolf.
"Why did I get involved with them?" _
Renderman didn't know that Gloria was his sister from another mother.
****
Neptune and Renderman returned to downtown Nigara.
Nigara City or Nigara Island is a densely populated city.
It is different from the goat island as it was not owned by any country.
Goat Island is also free and peaceful from strife between countries and free from colonization by any country.
Goat Island is a kind of black market center between countries.
Somehow the state of the goat island was still peaceful even after Mr Zero was caught by a group of wild cats who volunteered for security in the area.
Maybe, the nobles from dragon bay would wash off their hands, pretending not to know what happened on Nigara Island. Even though Mr. Zero worked for them.
Geographically, Nigara City is included in the territory of the dragon bay country. The mayor of the island is still a resident of the dragon bay kingdom.
Due to its proximity to Goat Island, this city is a stopover for ships from various countries and nations.
Moreover, Nigara Island is not included in a conflict zone so that trade on this island is very busy. Hotels, markets and entertainment venues, become profitable businesses for their residents.
Although the island is highly advanced in shipping technology and a bustling business center, in a quiet part of the city far from the control of the city government, is a fun place for criminal gangs to commit crimes such as robbery.
In the city center there is also frequent theft, it happens to many negligent city visitors.
Not all ships would be able stop at Nigara Island unless they were able to pay high import charges. Hotels on the island were also very expensive, but amenities were decent and vary with visitor needs.
The shops on the island sell rare and luxurious and classy items.
The wealthy aristocrats from various countries, would be tempted to buy luxury goods that they might not find them on other islands.
For example, take Neptune's goose down coat. Such coats are extremely rare and are not produced in the earth country.
A rich woman who saw Neptune walking in a fur coat could only be dumbfounded with an envious face.
That goose down coat looks very elegant and will be very adorable on a woman's body. Moreover, a woman with a perfect body, tall and slim like herself.
The woman could only complain to her partner who was also interested in having a fur coat like that.
The man compared himself and Neptune to have the ideal posture, of course he would be more handsome in a coat like that. It's just that the man in the goose-down coat was more handsome and well-built. He was in perfect harmony with a coat like that. The fur on the coat was very soft, shiny and silky. They looked for similar coats in various shops, but not a single shop sold such coats. Even if there were, they have different forms. The coats they sell were made of pigeon feathers or chicken or duck feathers.
Very unattractive to look at.
In their hearts they said, that handsome man was very lucky to get a rare item in the city of Nigara. Even though the coat was originally made by Mrs. Lucy, Neptune's mother.
Mrs Lucy made a coat out of a white cloud type swan, which was a swan that live only in Snow Cloud country.
The designers who stayed at the same hotel where Neptune was staying deliberately approached Neptune to steal the idea of making a coat that resembled Neptune's mantle.
They did not know that under the very mantle of that coat, Neptune was hiding his wings.
"I want to rest on your ship!"
"Hah!" Renderman was shocked. Neptune always lived in a luxury hotel but wanted to rest on his small charter boat now.
"Why are you following me!" Renderman didn't like Neptune around him.
"Heh did you forget ... that we just had a battle with the Red Wolf and other pirate members. The Red Wolf members' whereabouts were not known. They must be quietly hiding among the neighbors of you."
The red wolf group knew the two of them, while they did not know the real them. The reason was, the criminals wore masks and animal costumes that covered their real stature.
"Fine!" Renderman relented. Ever since they entered the city, many suspicious eyes had been watching them. Apart from that Renderman wanted to know a lot about Nov Lam. He suspected Neptune and Nov Lam to have a relationship.
Thinking of Nov Lam, Renderman's heart grew anxious. "How's that young man? Where is he now?!" _ Thought Renderman. Somehow he felt weird whenever he was close to Nov Lam. Renderman's gut feelings said that Nov Lam was not a boy. "Nov Lam is a woman!" _ Renderman was sure of his feelings.
They arrived at a luxury pier which had guards of the owner of a private dock which he rent out for island visitors. In addition, Renderman also chartered a boat to replace the hotel.
Most sailors who were accustomed to living on a ship, would rather stay on a ship than stay in a hotel.
When they got on the ship of Renderman, they were shocked to death.
A young man with a fit body and a beautiful face greeted them on board.
"NOV LAM!!" both of them exclaimed at the same time. Nov Lam looked fit and strong.
"What happened? Why did Nov Lam change?!"
Nov Lam got a little masculine, before she looked like a woman. Renderman was dumbfounded, amazed, astonished and confused at the same time.
He didn't know what to say.
Nov Lam was different from before. His appearance changed.
