As mentioned earlier, Toga inserted the syringe into the man's body. Due to electromagnetic pulse interference, his walkie-talkie could not receive signals from his superiors. So, he hurriedly made some arrangements for his men to guard the gate, and then, on his own initiative, he shouted and angrily chased after the girl who had attacked him and then fled.

Of course, before Toga left, the chips had already been converted into US dollars and transferred to a Swiss account.

After a chase that lasted for some time, his superior somehow managed to temporarily restore the walkie-talkie to work, instructing the man to pursue Toga no matter what, even if it meant "transforming."

Thus, a somewhat fantastical scene unfolded in the corridor—a blonde girl was running frantically, while a wolf on all fours was relentlessly closing in on her.

Although many passersby saw it along the way, just like when Isana left, even though they sensed something might be wrong, they didn't stop the charging Werewolf. Instead, they clung tightly to the wall, too afraid to move. The gray wolf didn't attack them either; its eyes were only on the girl.

Just like when Peter Parker first gained his powers, these tourists wouldn't stop a stranger who looked dangerous, especially since their Uncle Ben wasn't on the ship and there was no need to risk their lives to save someone.

Although they tried to comfort themselves with this thought, the passengers who witnessed the incident still felt guilty for doing nothing, especially since the person being chased was a young and lovely-looking girl. So, whenever they saw passing passengers or flight attendants, they would tell them that a big bad wolf had chased a little girl.

Toga the elevator ahead, she quickened her pace. Just as the elevator doors were about to close, she shouted, "Wait for me! I want to go up too!"

There was only one person in the elevator, half of their body exposed. The person was dressed in white and seemed to be a crew member from the ship. They paused for a moment upon hearing Toga's shout, then immediately pressed the stop button. Toga then slid into the elevator and pressed the close button, blocking the Werewolf from entering.

Toga breathed a sigh of relief, turned around, and said with a smile, "Uncle, thank you so much!"

The person in the elevator was none other than Captain Barus. However, Himiko Toga that I couldn't remember strangers' faces, so I didn't recognize that this person was the captain.

The captain shook his head and asked with some curiosity, "You're welcome. But why was that Werewolf chasing you?"

Toga didn't want this stranger who had helped her to be targeted by the Dark Shadow, so she smiled and said, avoiding the main point, "Hehe, I'm Little Red Riding Hood, and that guy is playing the Big Bad Wolf, you know?"

The Big Bad Wolf, Little Red Riding Hood... The captain couldn't help but smile. Seeing that the girl in front of him was still in the mood to joke, she probably wasn't being threatened by anyone.

As he was thinking this, a screeching, grating sound suddenly came from the elevator in front of him, an annoying sound like fingernails scraping a blackboard in the cramped elevator space.

Toga's heart sank. That guy actually wants to destroy even a place like this... It's allowed for passengers to use their Quirk on the ship, that's their freedom. However, destroying public facilities is not allowed. That would be considered an act of war, and all the Pro Hero on the ship would treat him as an enemy.

A pair of furry paws creaked open the door, and a wolf's head with eerie green pupils emerged. "Kid, keep running! Where else can you run to?"

Toga obediently raised her hands in surrender, laughing awkwardly, "I was just joking. Taking things too seriously is foolish."

"A woman who's full of lies, I will never trust you. You have no chance to surrender. I'll beat you half to death and then take you to the captain." The Werewolf uttered these cold words, showing no intention of letting Toga.

"Ara ah, in that case I have no choice but to resist, but before that..." Toga turned her head and grinned at Barus, "Uncle, what we have to do is none of your business. You stay here and don't move. Come out after we leave. After that, you can keep it a secret or report it to others as you please."

Toga doesn't seem worried about her own life, and even has the energy to worry about strangers.

"Hmph, you should worry about yourself, you Little Red Riding Hood disguised as someone else." The Werewolf pried open the cold elevator doors, revealing Himiko Toga standing helplessly inside, and with a ferocious expression, extended its wolfish claws towards her—

However, the wolf's claws were firmly grasped by the man dressed in a white sailor's uniform.

Barus laughed heartily, "If this girl were Little Red Riding Hood, a hunter from a fairy tale would surely appear, and I can't just stand by and watch you eat her up!"

"You are... Captain Barus!" The Werewolf's pupils contracted sharply. He hadn't paid attention to the man's appearance before, but now he instantly regretted it and said in a deep voice, "I had no intention of making a move on this ship. I was just joking with this lady."

The Werewolf tried to pull his hand back, but it remained firmly gripped as if held by an iron hand. His wrist was bound by immense force, and even with his Werewolf strength, his expression changed slightly.

Barus said with a half-smile, "You think you can just leave like that? You've damaged my precious elevator. Do you know how much damage that will cause?"

The Werewolf immediately said, "No matter how much damage I suffer, I will compensate you. But I must take this girl with me; she just attacked me."

"An attack, on this seemingly frail girl?" Barus found it somewhat amusing. "She has no weapon; how could she possibly harm a tall, strong Werewolf like you?"

Seeing that things were taking a turn for the better, Toga blinked and feigned a pitiful look. "I'm very weak, please help me."

Barus chuckled humorously, "Girl, of course. I won't let this big bad wolf eat people right in front of me."

The Werewolf's heart sank. His communication with the captain had been interrupted after a brief connection, and now he had to figure out what to do on his own.

The Werewolf raised his head, his expression grim, and said, "Captain, you'll regret it if you stop me here... Communication on the ship is down now. Can you confirm the safety of your other crew members?"

"Are you threatening me?" Barus's smile vanished. Indeed, he was unable to contact anyone else. His original plan was to find the intruder, but now his priorities had changed. "Are you saying that you were behind all of this?"

"Who knows?" the Werewolf replied vaguely, sneering. "Captain, you're usually so busy, you shouldn't be wasting your time here. There are more important things waiting for you."

Although he didn't know who had caused the communication equipment to malfunction, that didn't stop him from using this method to threaten the other party.

"Sorry, but I'm not afraid of threats at all!" The captain suddenly sprang up, using the strength of his shoulder to ram into the other man, catching the Werewolf off guard and sending him flying!

"What are you thinking? You should have more important things to do!" the Werewolf roared in bewilderment.

The captain stepped out of the elevator, cracked his knuckles, and said coldly, "Since this matter might be related to you, I can't let you go. At the very least... I'll beat you senseless before sending you anywhere else."

With that, Barus gave a thumbs-up to Toga, who was huddled in the corner behind him, and laughed heartily, "Girl, leave this to me, you should get out of here!"

"So... I'll be leaving then?" Toga shuffled along the wall toward the corner, quickly disappearing from the Werewolf's sight.
