Chapter 116: Roanapura
"But this traditional life will disappear completely one day under the wave of industrial development. After the end of World War II, the town was transformed from a coalition naval base into an unmanaged town for various political reasons. ”
"The government of our country did not dare to take care of it, and the coalition countries of the year did not bother to take care of it, which caused this situation to almost become a three-way zone. After all, this is not a strategically important place, and the reason why the coalition forces wanted to requisition it at that time was at best to be a supply base, you must know that at that time, there was no way for warships to travel around the world with only one refueling. ”
"Since there is no government to manage it, it has become a place suitable for crime and a place where sin can easily breed. Almost all of the most wanted criminals of international renown have entered it in a variety of ways, perhaps to avoid pursuit, to find like-minded comrades, or of course, simply for fun......"
"In short, it has now become a paradise for criminals, and even I heard that an ordinary old woman selling vegetables may be a wanted criminal in the world's three poles. And because of the special nature of this town, some internationally renowned underground organizations have also set up branches there, either to obtain more high-quality members, or to show their strength in the criminal world and gain fame. ”
"The Red Gate, the Qing Gang, the Peacemaker, the Italians in Sicily, and the five American families who also came out of there, the mercenaries of South Africa, the local soldiers of Southeast Asia, the drug=traffickers of South America, the fanatical believers and anti-politicians of Central Asia, and even the intelligence services of various countries will appear there."
"There is no such thing as a crime rate there, because 'no crime' is the anomaly there!" The captain concluded tremblingly.
Hearing this, the merchant was silent for a while, and then said firmly: "...... Thank you for your advice, but my decision will not change! ”
"Yes, that's right, you're just kids, and it's not a good idea where to go...... Wait a minute! What did you just say?! Did you hear what I said?! When the captain came to his senses, he said angrily.
"Of course!" The merchant's eyes didn't move.
"It's the most evil place in the world! It is the closest place to hell and the farthest place to heaven! It's home to the craziest terrorists in the world, the worst government employees, and the most notorious criminals......"
But before he finished speaking, he was directly interrupted by the merchant teacher.
"Because, we are now the most wanted criminals in the Celestial Empire, all of us!" After meeting Guo Xinyi, the merchant knew the identities of several of them in the Celestial Empire!
After the merchant said that reason, the captain was stunned for a full minute, his face changed wildly, and then without saying anything more, he turned around and walked directly into the captain's room, giving the order that the course would not change.
As a result, this cruise ship, which was originally only sailing in the waters of the Celestial Empire's own country, sailed to the waters of another country for the first time.
After two days of sailing on this endless sea, according to the captain's judgment, they finally entered the waters of another ocean.
The morning sun is always annoying, especially for businessmen who like to sleep lazy, and it is an unforgivable sin.
"Damn, Ada, I remember telling you to pull the curtains up!" The merchant roared with his hands blocking the dazzling sunlight with his still heavy sleepiness.
But it was not Ida who answered him, but Meng Ying, who was already dressed on the other side and was sipping black tea on a small round table where he didn't know where it came from.
"How can such a comfortable sunshine in the early morning be so incomprehensibly blocked out of the window?"
The neat dress, quiet and elegant movements, made the merchant almost think that this was a noble lady enjoying a leisurely time in her own courtyard.
Although she is indeed an aristocratic lady, the current scene is completely out of tune with the "leisure time", and it is not in her mansion.
"Sister, sleep is good for growth!" The merchant tried to pull Meng Ying back to his side.
I don't know why, since the elimination of the pirate group, Meng Ying's attitude towards him has changed a hundred and eighty degrees.
'Give me back that old sister!' The merchant roared in his heart.
And the culprit was Ida, who was standing straight beside Meng Ying with a solemn face at this time, wearing a women's suit and a pair of white gloves.
As for why he was so sure that the culprit was her, although there was no direct evidence to prove it, the businessman's beastly intuition told him that it was this "bad woman" who was ravaged by himself every day!
"It's not a lady's behavior to sleep lazy...... Meng Ying said meaningfully, then picked up the teacup and gently took a sip of fragrant black tea.
Hearing this, the merchant smacked awkwardly, then answered obediently as if nothing had happened, and began to reluctantly get up and freshen up, while not forgetting to glare at the silver-gray-haired woman who made her want to sleep lazy.
'Do you blame me?!' Seeing the merchant's anger against his own Ida, he silently shed blood and tears in his heart and slandered.
But the merchant will never admit that it is his fault......
Soon, the new businessman came to the small round table and sat down casually, this table similar to the Western-style aristocratic class used for afternoon tea suddenly seemed a little crowded, after all, this kind of small table was originally designed for a single person, and naturally it was not so spacious after sitting two people.
The merchant grabbed two pieces of pastry in a bamboo basket and put them in his mouth, chewed them carefully and said vaguely, "It tastes good!" I didn't think you'd do any more, Ada......"
In the face of the compliment, Ida only owed slightly, as if she was a modern European aristocratic waiter, and said respectfully and without flattery: "It's over, when I was in the motherland, I also learned a little basic etiquette, after all, I am engaged in intelligence work, and some less popular knowledge also needs to be mastered." ”
Although she didn't understand the inevitable connection between modern intelligence work and modern Western-style housekeeping etiquette, the merchant still didn't ask any further, because her empty stomach was completely attracted by the delicious pastries on the table, and she just asked without words, but she didn't care about the real answer.
So silence returned to the room, and Meng Ying tasted the black tea elegantly, gently blowing through the pale red liquid, forming shallow waves.
After eliminating the pastries on the table, the merchant began to grab the meat that had already begun to be baked from the electric barbecue grill and ate it in large gulps.
These were all foods that the captain had specially instructed the chef in the restaurant to prepare, and the merchant did not deliberately hide his gluttony characteristics, after all, no one likes to endure hunger.
And Ada, who had always stood there, still stood there straight, motionless like a sculpture.
But the silence was soon broken......
With a "bang", the door of the suite was pushed open, and Guo Xinyi, who seemed to have completely recovered her energy, pushed the door and walked in.
The merchant glanced up at her, and continued to lower his head to eliminate the freshly baked food, while Meng Ying, who was still sipping black tea, didn't even look at her, as if he hadn't heard the sound just now.
"What's the matter? Miss Guo. Ida asked, frowning.
