Chapter 1949: Chapter 1057: United Forces
Normally, once a luxury cruise ship has set sail, itâs almost impossible to chase it down and board it temporarily.
But Tao Yu had previously saved members of the four great families during a jewelry heist, and coupled with the immense impact of supernatural events, they naturally opted to befriend someone like him, who had both status and ability.
With the help of these top-tier financial conglomerates, 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 shipâs cargo reception window began to lower a rope ladder, bringing Tao Yu and his party aboard from the yacht.
âHaha, welcome, Little Duke! I watched all the videos of you in the jewelry heist. Is that an invisible friend accompanying you?â
The captain, a foreigner, came personally to greet them, joking as he spoke.
However, judging by his attitude, he was among those who didnât believe in such things, taking it all as a joke.
âSort of, just here to deal with some issues.â
Tao Yu shook hands with the captain, responding ambiguously.
âIâve already cleared a room for you, but it was done in haste, so it might seem a bit simplistic.â
âHaving a place to stay is fine; we might not be here for long.â
âHaha, this voyage lasts a month. Our next stop is Tokyo, and then weâll head to San Francisco via Hawaii.â
Tao Yu didnât say much upon hearing the captainâs words and briefly scanned their surroundings instead.
There were several burly crew members beside the captain, many of whom had a certain murderous aura about them, though it seemed the captain himself was unaware of this. As a captain, his control over his own ship seemed quite lackingâŠ
Huang Yaozu and his group didnât reveal their identities at this moment, as the ship had already reached international waters, leaving them with no jurisdiction. Although they carried some 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 merely a courtesy; it was impossible for him to accompany them all the time.
After exchanging pleasantries, the captain invited Tao Yu and the others to make themselves comfortable.
Normally arrogant Big Brother B found himself somewhat out of place in such a setting, struggling to adapt.
While he wasnât particularly smart, he understood that this wasnât 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 Yongxiaoâs refined demeanor fit right in, and given his past experiences, he wasnât unfamiliar with such cruises and temporarily took on the role of a guide.
âEven though Iâve been on a few cruises before, Iâve never boarded like this. Letâs head back to the room for now. Our goal is to find someone, but there are many tourists on this ship. Itâs a big task. Itâd be best to enlist the help of a crew member, maybe slip them some money on the sideâŠâ
Ni Yongxiao understood the current goals and challenges, and approaching the captain directly wasnât feasible. For an operation of this scale, most crew members 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 members was much simpler.
Information often leaks in this manner.
âYouâve got the experience; thatâs incredible. Youâre even more impressive than your father.â
Big Brother B said with some emotion, patting Ni Yongxiao. He had worked with Ni Kun for a time and saw the same cunning in Ni Yongxiao, yet Ni Yongxiao had surpassed himâŠ
âŠ
The captain arranged for everyone to stay in the crew quarters, with Tao Yu getting a second officerâs single room. Though the overall situation couldnât compare to a guest room, it was nonetheless clean and tidy.
Tao Yu, together with Le Huizhen, settled in and then immediately started to take separate actions.
The main communication was via the shipâs radio, with each person equipped with a walkie-talkie on the same 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.
âGood technique, whatâs your name?â
Tao Yu said lazily.
âI am âFirst Loveâ.â
First Loveâs voice carried a bubbly magnetism, as if massaging the eardrums.
âWho sent you?â
âIâve always admired Little Duke, and I came on my ownâŠâ
First Love continued massaging, wandering around, and then seemed to discover something, shivering internally. How could it beâŠ
âLittle Duke seems uncomfortable; let me help you outâŠâ
First Love glanced over at the sleeping Le Huizhen, saying in a slightly trembling voiceâŠ
âŠ
ââŠIt was Jade-faced Flying Dragon Ferrari who arranged for me to come over. Thereâs a group of armed men 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 youâŠâ
First Love rolled her eyes, her body occasionally convulsing indescribably, as if under severe interrogation, confessing to Ferrariâs plan and revealing all the problems.
