Normally, once a luxury cruise ship has set sail, it’s almost impossible to chase it down and board it temporarily.
But Tao Yu had previously saved mbers of the four great families during a jewelry heist, and coupled with the imnse impact of supernatural events, they naturally opted to befriend soone like him, who had both status and ability.
With the help of these top-tier financial conglorates, the captain had no room to refuse.
Many tourists on the deck, who were admiring the sea view, also noticed the approaching yacht, and then the cruise ship’s cargo reception window began to lower a rope ladder, bringing Tao Yu and his party aboard from the yacht.
"Haha, welco, Little Duke! I watched all the videos of you in the jewelry heist. Is that an invisible friend accompanying you?"
The captain, a foreigner, ca personally to greet them, joking as he spoke.
However, judging by his attitude, he was among those who didn’t believe in such things, taking it all as a joke.
"Sort of, just here to deal with so issues."
Tao Yu shook hands with the captain, responding ambiguously.
"I’ve already cleared a room for you, but it was done in haste, so it might seem a bit simplistic."
"Having a place to stay is fine; we might not be here for long."
"Haha, this voyage lasts a month. Our next stop is Tokyo, and then we’ll head to San Francisco via Hawaii."
Tao Yu didn’t say much upon hearing the captain’s words and briefly scanned their surroundings instead.
There were several burly crew mbers beside the captain, many of whom had a certain murderous aura about them, though it seed the captain himself was unaware of this. As a captain, his control over his own ship seed quite lacking...
Huang Yaozu and his group didn’t reveal their identities at this mont, as the ship had already reached international waters, leaving them with no jurisdiction. Although they carried so weapons, they had to pose as ordinary tourists.
Besides, there were already plenty of wealthy individuals on the ship, many of whom were worth more than Tao Yu. The captain coming to greet them was rely a courtesy; it was impossible for him to accompany them all the ti.
After exchanging pleasantries, the captain invited Tao Yu and the others to make themselves comfortable.
Normally arrogant Big Brother B found himself sowhat out of place in such a setting, struggling to adapt.
While he wasn’t particularly smart, he understood that this wasn’t his territory and he needed to lay low; otherwise, he could end up thrown into the sea without a trace.
On the other hand, Ni Yongxiao’s refined deanor fit right in, and given his past experiences, he wasn’t unfamiliar with such cruises and temporarily took on the role of a guide.
"Even though I’ve been on a few cruises before, I’ve never boarded like this. Let’s head back to the room for now. Our goal is to find soone, but there are many tourists on this ship. It’s a big task. It’d be best to enlist the help of a crew mber, maybe slip them so money on the side..."
Ni Yongxiao understood the current goals and challenges, and approaching the captain directly wasn’t feasible. For an operation of this scale, most crew mbers were either wealthy or influential, and there was a need to maintain confidentiality on passenger information.
But while official channels were unavailable, privately bribing individual crew mbers was much simpler.
Information often leaks in this manner.
"You’ve got the experience; that’s incredible. You’re even more impressive than your father."
Big Brother B said with so emotion, patting Ni Yongxiao. He had worked with Ni Kun for a ti and saw the sa cunning in Ni Yongxiao, yet Ni Yongxiao had surpassed him...
...
The captain arranged for everyone to stay in the crew quarters, with Tao Yu getting a second officer’s single room. Though the overall situation couldn’t compare to a guest room, it was nonetheless clean and tidy.
Tao Yu, together with Le Huizhen, settled in and then imdiately started to take separate actions.
The main communication was via the ship’s radio, with each person equipped with a walkie-talkie on the sa channel for easy contact.
Compared to others who were busy, Tao Yu appeared much more relaxed, enjoying various activities on the cruise with Le Huizhen, receiving essential oil services from a technician in the spa room.
The craftsmanship of those working on this cruise was impeccable, and Le Huizhen dozed off peacefully next to Tao Yu.
The technician quietly left the room without disturbing them.
But just then, the door opened again from the outside and was locked from behind. A seductive figure in a vacuum robe walked in with feline grace, skillfully applying essential oil to continue the service for Tao Yu.
Gentle fingers glided over, faintly fragrant.
"Good technique, what’s your na?"
Tao Yu said lazily.
"I am ’First Love’."
First Love’s voice carried a bubbly magnetism, as if massaging the eardrums.
"Who sent you?"
"I’ve always admired Little Duke, and I ca on my own..."
First Love continued massaging, wandering around, and then seed to discover sothing, shivering internally. How could it be...
"Little Duke seems uncomfortable; let help you out..."
First Love glanced over at the sleeping Le Huizhen, saying in a slightly trembling voice...
...
"...It was Jade-faced Flying Dragon Ferrari who arranged for to co over. There’s a group of ard n on the ship. He saw the video of your heist, wanting to use you to deal with them first and then find an opportunity to take care of you..."
First Love rolled her eyes, her body occasionally convulsing indescribably, as if under severe interrogation, confessing to Ferrari’s plan and revealing all the problems.
