Anson let the rope drop to the deck and was more relaxed when he saw that Selwynn was safe. He looked around the open deck and realized that this part led deeper into the ship, was near the crow's nest, and what seemed to be an escape hatch.
He marked the position in his mind and moved the lanyards on the ground to the side to not make it conspicuous.
It may be because the mastermind felt that his scheme had worked, but after several twists and turns, there were no patrolling guards on this side of the ship, which made for ease of movement.
Selwynn checked the guns still on his body, three small firearms with ten to fifteen rounds and several knives. At this time, from the corner of his eyes, he seemed to see a strange red spot on the deck that was about to be washed away by the rain.
