.

From receiving an urgent order from the eldest lady before dawn in the morning, to quickly being ordered to gather people to rush to the Golden Sailing El Dorado, to finding that everything did not develop as the eldest lady said except for the changes that things began, to the unexpected appearance of Saron, the crazy farce staged, a shining knife light slashed the curtain, and the intermission was forced to fall, Gotttie's mood changed several times during this period. He rarely has a continuous change in mood in a short period of time, and today is a re-addiction.

He had a lot of questions, and at the same time he guessed a lot of things, and this was the limit now. If someone else had come, they would have only questions, but they wouldn't have thought of any of the reasons – not even the questions themselves.

But no matter how much it changes, it still has to be done. Everything else is false, only doing things is real. And now it seems that he has only this path to take, and only in the process of taking this road can he find the answers to all his questions. It was important to him because whatever it was all about, he was already getting interested – very interested.

In the dark, Gotti suddenly felt that maybe this was what the eldest lady wanted. She pushed herself here, probably hoping that he would join the game where he didn't have a seat. And there are many reasons for this, so many that he is too lazy to waste time guessing one by one.

He didn't think it was just a coincidence—there were no "coincidences" in this world.

So, he regained his mood, straightened his clothes that had been wrinkled in the conflict just now, pulled his neckline, closed his lips as he bit his cigar, and squinted his eyes and took a pleasant breath. He smiled at Salen, who had shrunk in front of him, and slapped one hand on the knee of his left leg.

"I'm sorry for what I'm going to say next, but that's the truth, Saren—I'd love to ask a few questions that I might not have asked in my capacity, but the problem is that those questions should not be asked in my capacity, and if I did, I would have crossed the line, and it was very unruly and impolite to interfere in the internal affairs of other people's own families. So I'm going to shut up, I'm not going to touch things that don't concern me, at least not if the conditions don't allow it, not now. Now I'm only concerned with the only one issue that is relevant to us, Saren, and you know what that is. ”

“…… Safatina's request, Mr. Gaudí," Saren looked up, the corners of her mouth twitching with a smile, her eyes glazed and distorted, but a little tired, but still able to speak very clearly, "she contacted us after the early hours of the morning and asked us to empty El Dorado within half a day, to cede control to her for the time being, and to pay her a fair reward for it. She wants to rent it for a while, which is of course no problem, but it is simply impossible to empty the place of tourists in half a day! ”

"Oh, can't it?" Gao Di smiled slightly, "The eldest lady didn't say that you didn't agree to her conditions when she asked me to come over, which means that your family master has made arrangements - the difficulties you just mentioned may not be possible for others to achieve, but if it is a golden sailboat, although it will be a little troublesome, it is not impossible at all, right?" ”

"Die." Salen continued to smile tiredly and sickly, "If she has any objection to this - let her come and talk to the head of the house herself!" ”

"Come here in person...... Is that so? Gotti nodded, and looked at Salen with a deep gaze. He seemed to be thinking about something, and then suddenly stood up.

He exuded a dark and relaxed aura all over his body, as if he had returned to his own home, and paced unhurriedly, with his hands behind his back, and slowly walked to the semicircular pool in the innermost part of the room, and to the relief on the wall. He glanced up at the statue, then looked down at the pool. This was where Salen had stood when he had first walked into the room.

“…… I don't know what you're playing. Gotti said motionlessly, keeping his eyes on the pool, "It's funny...... It's not often that I participate in a game and don't know what it's about. It feels fresh. I don't like it much, but it's fresh. ”

“……”

"But even so, I'm not unsure of everything." Gotti looked up, then slowly turned his neck back, glancing at Saren on the couch, "Like now, I'm sure you've done something really stupid." ”

"You don't understand anything at all. You don't understand anything. ”

"Do you understand?" Gotti turned to the side and looked at Saren with his hands behind his back, "Are you sure you can understand Miss—what everyone else thinks?" Are you sure they don't know what you're thinking? Are you sure they don't expect you to do something? ”

“……”

"You don't know anything, do you?" Gotti smiled without any smile, and slowly approached this side, a low, magnetic voice as if floating from a long distance, "You joined the game - whatever it was, you became one of it - you clanged and fell on the board, jumping up and down by nature - you were not willing to accept what you have, you tried to struggle, but you didn't see the gap between you and your opponent at all, and you didn't know what you were fighting against." ”

"I didn't come back to be a pawn for those guys!" Saren slammed his fist on the table and slammed to his feet, looking at Gotti breathlessly. Gotti grinned, smiled and nodded.

"So that's how you rebel? Forming a faction of your own and fighting everyone with the most fierce attitude? Gotti tilted her head to meet Saleen's eyes half-open, "I want to pay you my respects very sincerely, Saryn, but if you want to ask me what I really think...... Try to keep yourself struggling a little longer. Maybe the reason you'll be allowed to come back is because of that. ”

“……”

"Goodbye, Salen." Gotti touched the corners of his eyebrows with four fingers and bowed to Salen, "Unlike last time, this time I really think we might meet again soon." ”

With that, Gotti turned and left, stepped off the stage, walked across the pool below, opened the huge double door, and disappeared behind the door. Saren kept his eyes on his back, but he didn't look back once.

Salen watched as the door to his room was slammed shut, and stood there for a moment before sitting back on the couch. The water below was still shining, and the fish were still swimming slowly, as if nothing in the world could bother them.

And in the dark corner where the light could not be illuminated, the indifferent eyes of the silver-haired knife hand did not blink, and the cold looked at the silhouette of Saren from a distance like a machine, silent like a ghost in a cemetery.

……

The stern of the big ship is the office area of the Golden Sailing Ship here, which is not open to tourists and is forbidden to outsiders. Dozens of people from Dark Paradise were housed in a large reception room on one of the floors - it has to be said that the Grand Ship is the Grand Wheel, a reception room for a large number of special guests, which is not only large, but also extremely comfortable, like a library or a fitness center, and the huge glass exterior is Barblair's most iconic sea view. Under the control of an underwater environmental system, the inland sea of Bablore does not freeze all year round, even during the coldest part of winter.

When Gotti walked in, Rockland got up to meet him, and the others were waved by Gotti to signal what to do and what not to do. He and Rockland walked to a simple booth by the window on the second floor of the room, sat down, and briefly told him what had happened to Salen.

Rockland's brows furrowed as he listened.

"I'm confused." He said directly, and he was not afraid that he would look stupid by doing so.

"I didn't understand it at first – in fact, even now, I still don't fully understand it. The only thing I know for sure is that the eldest lady pulled us into a big chess game. I'm afraid she had already anticipated what had happened today. ”

"She expected Salem to show up and cause trouble for her?" Rockland was puzzled, "Then why did she ......?"

"I'm afraid there's more than one reason." Gottty glanced at Rockland, "It could be to let me meet him, it could be to see how I reacted, it could be to pull me in, it could be to test my loyalty, it could be to test my abilities – etc." ”

"But what the hell is the bureau?" Rockland's brows still didn't stretch, "What the hell is the eldest lady playing?" ”

"We don't know that now." Gotti shook her head, her eyes thoughtful, "But I don't think she's the only player behind her, no matter what she's playing." The high-level ...... of the Golden Sailing Family Even the old family owner may have been involved early. And Saren, including me, is just a pawn in this game. Saren may have been rolling in it for a long time and knew a lot of things, and the eldest lady pulled me into it at this time, indicating that it was very likely that something had changed in the situation, forcing her to make an urgent response. ”

It's too vague, even if Rockland stirs his brain hard, he still can't sort it out, but it gets more and more confused. In the end, he simply stopped thinking about it and refocused on what was in front of them.

"So what do we do now?" He asked, "The eldest lady's order is to take over El Dorado, but now that Saren is making trouble, how are we going to solve this problem?" If the eldest lady really expected this situation, then she should give us ......"

When he said this, Rockland's face changed slightly, and it was obvious that he had thought of something. And Gotti also smiled and sighed and nodded.

"That's right, she did leave us with a solution."
