78. I advise you not to meddle and compensate
Under the watchful eyes of a group of nobles and celebrities, Russell rejected Ruth's kindness.
He walked over to the table and picked up a napkin to wipe his hands stained with blood, which was Spice......
Russell furrowed his brow as he wiped his right hand, his eyes fixed on the bloody teeth embedded in the back of his hand.
"Oh! Mr. Walker, you ......," said Mrs. Brown, distressedly.
Before she could finish speaking, Russell raised his hand and pulled out the tooth embedded in the flesh and threw it into Spicer's mouth.
Everyone looked at this scene, the hairs on their bodies stood on end, and the cool breeze suddenly poured into their pores, and they shivered.
“……”
Russell threw the blood-stained napkin onto the plate held by the waiter, and turned to look at the celebrities and nobles.
"Sorry to disturb your meal. Is it okay to ask Captain Smith to send Mr. Carr's personal bodyguard for treatment? He only suffered some skin injuries that were not life-threatening. I just tried to protect my employer, so I went a little harder. We apologize for any interruptions. ”
Astor shook his head and said, "Walker, don't be so polite. What Carl and his personal bodyguards did, we all saw with our own eyes, it is not your fault, and it is also your duty to be forced to act. ”
"Yes, Mr. Walker, you are really professional as a security consultant, and if I do business in the United States, I will definitely come to you," Yin said. ”
"Thank you, Mr. Yin Simei......"
Russell sensed something strange in his arm and looked down.
Seeing that Ruth was bandaging him with a bandage, Russell frowned slightly but didn't say anything.
Everyone looked at each other and smiled, especially Astor, who whispered to his little wife, saying that he had bandaged Madeleine like this in the first place......
"When I arrive in the U.S., my company will open, so please join us. Of course, if you don't dislike me as an ordinary person, without noble blood and noble status. ”
Yin Sido said: "Walker, don't be so self-deprecating. In my opinion, you don't look like an ordinary person at all, and you behave like a gentleman, and I like young people like you very much. ”
Astor added: "Yes, if you're successful in the U.S., you're what Fisher calls an upstart. ”
"Haha......"
The laughter gradually rose, and everyone present understood this humor in seconds.
It's just that Fisher laughs a little awkwardly because she is the protagonist of humor.
"Go talk to Mr. Carl, and we'll wait for you to come back for dinner." Astor said.
"Okay."
At this time, Ruth also helped Russell bandage it, and carefully tied a bow, which was full of romance.
She developed an admiration for Russell, and although she met Russell for the first time, he beat Carl and Spicer as ordinary people. It's like a commoner is stabbing at the imperial power!
It's the style she's always dreamed of.
Ruth wanted to resist, not to accept her fate.
She doesn't like the social life of the aristocracy, and she doesn't want to become a noble lady in captivity at home in the future, so what's the difference between that and a sow?
So she wanted to get close to Russell, learn from him, ask about his experience.
I hope he can teach himself how to get out of the sea of suffering.
Russell looked her in the eye and said thank you, and she smiled in response.
This was the first formal and polite conversation between the two.
The gun at Carl's feet had been picked up by the waiter and handed to Captain Smith.
He was far away from the long table, and when he saw Ruth approaching Russell, a fire ignited in his heart.
secretly scolded Ruth for being a slut, the two have a marriage contract, she is actually unfaithful to herself?
When he saw Fisher laughing awkwardly in the aristocratic circle, he was even more disgusted and hated.
She sold Ruth at a high price, and Carl's aristocratic wife, who paid a lot of money, was actually bandaging the wounds of her enemy?
It's all to blame Fisher for not educating his daughter well, and the aristocracy is virtuous?
Carl was about to be blown up, and he thought of Fisher's contempt for Mrs. Brown, calling her an upstart.
So what is he?
He married Ruth for the sake of aristocratic blood, not an upstart with only money and no status!
"Mother and daughter don't have a good character." Karl cursed.
Spicer lying on the ground is even more old trash, you've got a fucking gun, why don't you shoot?
Afraid of what? As long as you kill him, then your wife and children will have a better life!
Just when Carl's anger continued unabated, and his inner drama was extremely active, Russell came to him.
Raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder, "Mr. Karl, shall we talk?" ”
Carl's eyes shrank, and when Russell's palm landed on his shoulder, his hairs instantly opened, and fear swept through his body.
"You, what are you going to talk about?"
"Let's find a quiet place, how about the side decks? The view is very nice. ”
Carl shifted slowly, following him to the outside deck.
The calm sea emits a turquoise glow, which is the refraction of the sun.
Carl saw that he didn't speak for a long time, just looking at the blue sea and smoking, and couldn't help but be a little anxious.
"You ......"
Russell turned his head and stared coldly, "You have to call me sir, this is the minimum politeness of a gentleman." ”
"Mr. Walker, what do you want to talk about?"
"Isn't the sea quiet?"
“… Yes. ”
"It's quiet because the storm has passed, and when the storm returns, it's going to be a different scene."
Carl's heart was struggling, because there were only the two of them on the side deck, and if he pushed Russell down, I'm afraid no one would find out......
"Mr. Walker, I apologize for today's impulsive behavior."
"No need to apologize." Russell threw away the cigarette butt, turned to stare at him and said, "You will be punished for doing wrong, I said last night that I would only give you one chance, and now you have no chance." ”
In an instant, Russell raised his hand and grabbed him by the collar and pressed him directly to the boat.
Carl screamed in panic.
"Don't, I don't want to die, don't kill me......"
Russell brought him back, looked at his frightened appearance, and said with a smile: "How can you conclude that I dare to kill you?" Mr. Carr, I am just a security consultant and am responsible for the personal safety of my employer. Your personal bodyguard pointed his gun at my employer before I attacked him, and you didn't do anything to Mrs. Brown. ”
Hearing Karl's sigh, just now he felt that if he hadn't shouted for mercy, I'm afraid Russell would really throw him into the Atlantic.
"Mr. Walker, I am willing to compensate you for your losses."
Russell asked, "Do I have anything to lose?" ”
"You're hurt."
"Oh! That's to pay compensation. No, it seems to be a bit of a forced buy......"
"No, no, I did it of my own free will, Mr. Walker, please give me another chance."
Carl didn't dare to move, because his bodyguard was already unconscious, and if he continued to bark at Russell on the boat, then he would really die.
It was clear to him when he saw Russell pull out the teeth embedded in the flesh and throw them into Spicer's mouth with a blank face.
People are engaged in the business of licking blood from the knife edge, and he is just a rich second generation immersed in the extravagant upper circle, and there is no comparison at all.
Russell didn't want to seduce Carl with his words, but he had to do this to deal with people like Carl, which was the quickest way.
"Mr. Walker, I don't have much cash with me, and I'm afraid I don't have enough money on me to cover your losses."
Russell patted him on the shoulder and squeezed him, and said with a smile: "Those who know the times are Junjie... Although Mr. Karl is slightly worse than Junjie, you said it very well. After lunch, I will go to your deluxe first class, please prepare black tea. ”
Carl bowed his head and said, "Looking forward to your arrival." ”
There is nothing he can do, what if he doesn't bow his head?
Everyone on board was speaking for Russell, and if events were allowed to continue, he would be discredited by the time he arrived in the United States.
At that time, the entire American upper class circle will not gossip about Gudheim's affair, and he will make headlines on the gossip page and become the talk of people after dinner.
Gudheim didn't come to the restaurant and appeared to be playing with the French star in his room.
Russell returned to the dining room and saw that the long table was already full of food, so he smiled embarrassedly and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Carl and I have been freezing for too long and disturbing your meal." ”
"It's okay, Walker, without your humor, I don't have an appetite for food," Astor said. ”
"Now that we're all here, let's get started."
Everyone picked up the utensils and enjoyed the food without making a sound.
Ruth sat directly across from Russell, and next to her was Fisher, and it was hard to imagine that Fisher had sat down, and if she had some temper, or even aristocratic face, she would not have stayed here.
Apparently she had misused the arrogance of the nobility.
At the dinner table, when Astor and the others were chatting, they would ask Russell what he thought.
When he said what he understood, the crowd was again in good opinion of him.
Because whether it is real estate business, trade and export, or world pattern, he can say it, and he can speak in a clear manner.
This couldn't help but impress Ruth who was directly opposite, no wonder Mr. Astor would value him so much, it turned out that he was really capable and charming.
It's just not very friendly to her......
During the meal, I never looked at her in the eye.
Captain Smith talked about his sailing experience, and the crowd listened to it very excitingly, saying that on several occasions he almost died at sea, but fortunately he was prepared in advance to save the day.
Andrews tells the story of designing ships, building ships.
"This ship can reach a top speed of 23 knots! If we arrive in New York, USA as soon as possible, we will get the front page headlines! ”
Yin Simei said excitedly: "Titanic is like a girl, this is her maiden voyage, the reason why I built her so gorgeous and extravagant, the purpose is to become the first in the world!" Beyond the Olympic number. ”
"Captain Smith, I suggest you put the last three boilers to use and go at a maximum speed of 23 knots!"
Captain Smith shook his head and said, "With our current speed, we can reach New York on time." ”
"No, if you arrive early, then the Titanic will be famous all over the world! It's her honor, and that's why I built her. ”
Captain Smith snorted the crowd with his pipe in his mouth.
"Andrews, what do you have to say?"
"To be honest, I want to see her go at top speed, she's like my child, and I want to see her run," Andrews said. ”
Astor laughed and said, "Why don't you let Walker give some advice?" ”
"Mr. Walker?"
Russell snuffed out his cigarette, straightened his waist and said, "If it's just to make the Titanic famous all over the world, I don't recommend increasing the speed to 23 knots." ”
Suddenly, everyone was stunned and turned their heads to look at him.
Because this was the first time Russell had explicitly expressed his opposition.
