Upon hearing the outrageous price, the little gratitude and guilt Audrey felt toward this Fatty imdiately vanished into thin air. This man was nothing but a complete scoundrel, shalessly taking advantage of the situation! She didn’t know why, but she couldn’t maintain her composure in front of him and angrily said, "I don’t have money, but I have one life!" Fatty naively said, "Are you saying you want to work as my maid to pay off the debt?" He shook his head vigorously and waved his hands around, saying, "No, no! You’re not worth that much money; I only want money, not people."
When the crew heard this silly Fatty’s words, several of them burst into laughter. Seeing Audrey glaring at them, they quickly fell silent, each of their faces turning red.
Audrey hadn’t expected that a casual comnt of hers would be so seriously rejected by this Fatty, as if she really wanted to beco his maid to pay off the debt, which reignited her fury. In her anger, this naturally impulsive girl no longer had the mind to win over Tian Xingjian and yelled furiously, "Fatty, why don’t you look in the mirror? Who’d be your maid? You’re not even worthy of it!"
Tian Xingjian stupidly pulled out a small mirror from his pocket and looked at himself earnestly for a long ti before finally sighing bitterly, "Alas, I’m really not worthy." As he said "not worthy," he was glancing sideways at Audrey continuously, as if he was saying she wasn’t worthy of him. This made the beautiful and composed female captain feel dizzy with anger.
Fatty, having vented his frustration, slowly walked to the side, checking the four crew mbers still lying on the ground one by one. In a kindly manner, he said, "I can do without the money! But..." He crouched beside one of the crew mbers he had injured and, tilting his head with a curious look, continued, "I hope no one bothers until I smoothly reach zrich. This is your ship, and I don’t want to cause trouble..." He smiled as he continued to look with interest at the crew mbers shivering on the ground and cheerfully said, "But if you really provoke , I’m not afraid to solve problems!" As he said the word "problems," Old Ghost Ivan saw Fatty’s gaze sweep over him, imdiately recalling the words he used to intimidate soone at the bar earlier. His old face flushed, and noticing the cold spark in Fatty’s eyes, his heart chilled.
All the crew mbers had lost the exuberant excitent they had before. Fatty looked innocently harmless with a smiling face, but sohow, seeing him smile at the injured crew made people shiver, which reminded them of his ruthless moves earlier. Including Audrey, everyone’s face turned slightly pale when they heard Tian Xingjian mumbling to himself, "This ship has a military-grade power system. I didn’t expect that, but luckily I’m familiar with this system. However, if you don’t want this system on the ship to be discovered by others, you’d better keep your mouths shut." As he said this, he casually picked up an iron chair and effortlessly crushed it into a ball.
The crew mbers in the power cabin turned pale. They finally realized that this guy in front of them was indeed a sowhat perverted monster. He changed his deanor just like that. Fatty looked at the expressions of these people and chuckled coldly. Originally, he had to reluctantly take action and used psychological suggestions to seal their mouths. This kind of hint made them subconsciously regard him as a perverted demon who delighted in tornting people, and this indirect threat was more effective than a direct one.
Tian Xingjian clapped his hands and stood up, looking at the silent smuggling ship crew. Suddenly, an idea struck him. He slowly walked to Audrey’s side and whispered, "I have sothing to tell you, co with ." After saying this, he smiled and waved to the power cabin crew and walked straight out. Audrey, as if bewitched, found herself unable to refuse Fatty’s commanding invitation. With a complex expression, she glanced at Old Ivan and followed Tian Xingjian out of the power cabin.
The two of them, one in front of the other, walked past the luggage cabin toward where Tian Xingjian was staying. Bursts of cheering faintly ca from the two decks above, the entire Apollo transport ship imrsed in the ecstasy of narrowly escaping death. Upon hearing such sounds and looking at Fatty’s back in front of her, Audrey recalled the scene at the restaurant entrance a few hours ago when this person stood there trembling. Her mood was complex, full of mixed emotions.
Tian Xingjian opened the cabin door and went inside. Standing at the room’s entrance, Audrey hesitated, unsure whether she should enter. In front of this Fatty who seed honest and naive, she suddenly found herself sowhat afraid.
Seeing Audrey standing hesitantly at the door, Fatty secretly chuckled to himself, "Won are indeed most afraid of perverts." He sat by the bed, patted the spot beside him, and said, "Co sit. This room is pretty nice, very comfortable."
Audrey glanced at the room cluttered with miscellaneous parts and felt a slight blush on her face. Clean rooms weren’t unavailable on this ship. After receiving money, she hadn’t paid further attention, not expecting her crew to arrange for Fatty to stay here. She felt slightly embarrassed.
Seeing Tian Xingjian’s provocative look, Audrey, in a fit of pique, sat down beside him and said, "Speak, what’s the matter?" Her voice started small and then got louder, and anyone could hear her feigned composure. After all, she was a girl not yet twenty, and after impulsively sitting down, she lowered her head, not daring to et Fatty’s eyes, and shifted uncomfortably.
