In the dining hall that served first-class passengers, there was a soft carpet, exquisite silverware, a magnificent chandelier, and a pianist who was in charge of performing. The waiters in the dining hall all had smiles on their faces as if they were at home.
There was nothing more comfortable than having a cup of black tea with a woman on a calm afternoon.
After this period of travel, the passengers in the first-class cabin had almost gotten to know each other. When they saw each other, they would nod and greet each other. When they met those who got along well, they would sit together and talk about current affairs and politics, and tease the poor people in the third and fourth class.
However, in the next moment, the boat shook violently, and the black tea and porcelain cups were all thrown out. Several young ladies and madams who were standing together discussing skincare products tilted and screamed as they fell to the ground. The scalding tea splashed on the lapels of several nobles, and the quiet and elegant dining room instantly became a mess.
Several aristocrats who were drinking tea in the dining hall suddenly became furious. "Where is the captain? Ask the captain to come out. How can he operate the ship?!"
A short-haired woman who belonged to the Haifa Chamber of Commerce walked into the dining hall and appeased the angry passengers inside. "I'm sorry, distinguished guests. There is a small situation outside. On behalf of the Chamber of Commerce, I deeply apologize for the inconvenience. The dining hall will suspend service for a period of time. Please return to your rooms and do not walk around."
"Who do you think you are?! I am a viscount of the Lion Heart Empire. What right do you have to order me to do what I should do? " A young blond aristocrat was so angry that he laughed. "Don't fool us with these little kittens and puppies. If you know what's good for you, hurry up and ask the captain to come out. Believe it or not, I will make your Haifa Chamber of Commerce suffer in the Lion Heart Empire."
In the face of the blond aristocrat's threat, the short-haired woman's expression did not change. "I'm sorry, Viscount Laval. Captain Oden is indeed not available now …"
Before she could finish her words, she was pushed away by the young aristocrat named Laval. "Since it is not convenient for your captain to see us, then I will go and find him directly."
The latter ignored the obstruction and rushed up to the deck. However, the scene in front of him completely stunned him. There were no more passengers on the deck, only sailors and guards. They were anxiously busy, pushing out cannons, moving out gunpowder, lifting the damp-proof cloth on top, and distributing weapons.
"What … what's going on?" Laval was dumbfounded. He saw that Captain Oden was personally steering the ship. He lit a cigar and steered Six Flowers toward the dense black clouds in the distance.
"Please return to your room, put away the sharp objects, and find a place to stabilize your body. When we pass through the storm zone later, there might be some turbulence." The short-haired woman's voice came from behind him, but it was as calm as ever.
"Storm? Why … why don't we avoid it? "
Before the short-haired woman could reply, the young noble heard the lookout's voice. "Captain, they're still following us. The distance between us is shrinking. They'll probably catch up to us in two more spells."
Oden's expression was very calm. "Very good. Next, let's see whose ship is stronger."
"Are you crazy? I don't want to go there!" Laval looked at the storm zone not far away, and his expression collapsed. He could still vaguely see the lightning flashing and thunder rumbling inside.
Oden looked back at the young noble and frowned. "How did he get up here?"
The short-haired woman bowed. "My apologies, it's my dereliction of duty. I'll bring him back to his room now."
"I'm not going anywhere!" The blond noble roared. "I want you to turn around. Now, immediately, avoid that storm!!! I'm a viscount. "
"What's so great about being a viscount?" A voice came from behind him.
"Which blind fool is it?!" Laval turned around angrily, but when he saw the newcomer, his anger disappeared completely. The young noble recognized the middle-aged man in black armor. He was the Guard Captain of one of the special-class guests. That guest had never shown his face before, but Laval still recognized him. This was not the first time he had met this middle-aged man. He had met him once in the Royal City.
If he was not mistaken, Amanda Duke's widow, Madam Rose, was also on Six Flowers. This woman was not simple. After Amanda Duke's death, all of the things she did were shocking. Her late husband's family was also a famous family in the Lionheart Empire. However, they could only swallow the humiliation and could not do anything to her. As the number one social butterfly among the northern nobles, this woman had an extremely complicated background.
Laval did not dare to provoke her. After being reprimanded, he could only run back to his room with his tail between his legs.
The man in armor said to Captain Oden, "Madam Rose has asked me to help. I don't know much about sailing, so if there are any ignorant passengers, you can let me handle them."
At this moment, Auden was focused on controlling the direction. The strong wind blew up his clothes, causing them to flutter loudly. He nodded slightly upon hearing Auden's words, expressing his gratitude.
At this moment, the short-haired woman noticed Lolo and Rob who were still on the deck. She stepped forward and said politely, "You … are in the second-class cabin, right? We're about to enter the storm zone. It's not safe on the deck. You should return to your room."
Luo Luo glanced at Luo Bu, who nodded.
Thus, the two left the deck. After returning to their room and closing the door, the girl said, "Do you know anything about the Whale Pirates?"
The future Supreme Magus, Your Honor, shook his head and said, "I've never paid much attention to pirates."
Rob's memory was amazing, but it was not infinite. He had a deep understanding of some important forces and powerful nobles on the Dawn Continent. However, it was meaningless to learn about pirates. Each pirate group only had an average lifespan of two to three years. After this period, new pirate forces would rise and the old ones would perish. Therefore, people who didn't make a living on the sea would not be able to recognize the various black flags.
"But they're probably coming for someone or something on the ship." The future Supreme Magus, Your Honor, added, "Do you remember the guy who was rescued?"
"Oh. Is he a spy for the pirates?"
