461 Chapter 437: Lilith's Capture

Alex and the ferryman calmy traversed the dark river filled with mist; neither did Alex ask a question nor did the ferryman say anything. It was mutual understanding as each one of them focused on his task; the ferryman focused on rowing the ferryman while Alex calmly waited for the following scenario (following their plan) as he was sure that something interesting awaited him ahead.
