Chapter 279: Search × lock on again × sudden attack
Only after taking his phone from his pocket did Joey discover that its signal had vanished completely at some point.
That was hardly surprising. If Morel's team had been completely subdued and arrested as soon as the King's Army moved, whether there was a signal would no longer matter.
But the information from Knuckle told Joey that Morel and Shoot were probably still hiding somewhere aboard the ship, so the King's Army could not allow them the possibility of sending information out by phone.
Still, this gave Joey an idea.
