Chapter 425 Pirate Attack
Charlee Ford was seasick, which few people knew, let alone Mr. King, so she had been unwell and pale since she got on board, but no one noticed.
She vomited inside, and Xiaoyi waited for her outside with her hands in her arms, without the slightest impatience on her face.
Charlee Ford vomited for a while and felt much better. She sat down on the toilet and took a few breaths.
There was silence outside. Charlee Ford breathed a sigh of relief and slowly pulled out a note from his bag.
This note, when she boarded the boat, the man quietly stuffed it into her hand. At that time, she was very surprised, but she still took it away without telling Mr. Kim.
There was nothing on the note. Charlee Ford thought for a moment, and wet the note. As the note was soaked, the handwriting on it gradually appeared.
Charlee Ford glanced, tore up the note and threw it into the toilet. As the toilet pumped water, the note was washed into the sewer.
Charlee Ford watched quietly until the water completely disappeared. She got up and opened the toilet door and went out.
Outside the door, Xiaoyi leaned against the sink, and when she saw Charlee Ford appear, her eyes fell quietly on her.
She did not ask Charlee Ford why she had been gone so long, but glanced at her at random, then turned and walked back.
Back again, Mr. Kim and his party are no longer on the deck, and Xiaoyi takes her to the lounge where Mr. Kim is located.
"Back?" Mr. King smoked a cigarette, looked at Charlee Ford's slightly pale face, smiled with unknown meaning, and said, "I didn't expect you to get seasick."
"Hmm." Charlee Ford nodded, walked over, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "What is the origin of that man?"
She asked casually, and Mr. King glanced at her and squinted slightly.
The relationship between Mr. King and Charlee Ford is more like a partner than a superior subordinate, but one that is not happy on the one hand.
Mr. Kim has no doubt that with Charlee Ford's ability, if she hadn't held her mother in her hand, she would not hesitate and have the strength to kill herself.
Therefore, for Charlee Ford, Mr. King loves and hates, and he doesn't want to tear his face with Charlee Ford when he is not absolutely sure that he can handle her.
So Mr. King pondered for a moment and said, "His name is Louis, and he is a close confidant of the king of Yongle Island. In the last gladiator competition of Yongle Island, his men won the first place, so the king valued him very much."
Mr. King said, glancing at Charlee Ford and asking, "Why do you ask this? What did Xiaoyi say to you?"
Charlee Ford smiled indifferently, sat down beside him and said, "What can I say? Even if he says he won't take part in this year's gladiator competition, he always has people to support. You are opponents. What can he say to me?"
Mr. King nodded in favor, raised his hand and poured himself a cup of tea, put it on the table, but didn't drink it. Instead, he said, "In short, keep a low profile after you go to the island, and don't attract his attention. Louis is a treacherous and cunning person. You don't follow his way."
Charlee Ford was amused. "Isn't that funny coming out of your mouth, Mr. King?"
When Mr. Jin heard this, his fat face smiled slightly and his eyes flashed with a slightly angry expression.
At this moment, the water cup, which had been placed smoothly on the table, suddenly fell to the ground with a thud, smashing it and falling apart. The tea splashed on Charlee Ford, and her eyebrows frowned slightly.
The hull began to shake slightly, and Mr. King quickly got up and walked out of the lounge, followed by Charlee Ford, who came to the deck together.
Louis and small meaning two people are already on the deck, Louis hands are holding a telescope, straight at the front, brow lock is very tight.
"What happened?" Mr. King walked over to Louis.
When Louis saw him coming, he didn't speak. He just handed the telescope in his hand and said, "See for yourself."
Mr. Kim took it and looked down his eyes, his face changing slightly.
"What's that?" Mr. King's eyes widened and he looked over and over again with a telescope in uncertainty.
Louis, however, looked very calm and replied, "Pirates haunt this sea all the year round, but they know that we are royal ships of Yongle Island, so they never appear in front of us, but today I don't know what happened..."
Before he had finished speaking, the hull shook again, and Charlee Ford was already seasick, so that his face suddenly looked a little ugly.
"Under what circumstances, why do pirates dare to attack our ships? Can't they recognize our sign?" A sailor came up and said hurriedly.
Louis said, "You go and send them a signal."
"Why not just call back?" Mr. King asked.
Louis shook his head and said, "The royal ships and these pirates have never interfered with the river. There is another reason besides that they have never confronted us head-on."
"What's the reason?"
"Their strength is very strong. If we really fight, we may not be their opponents, so if we can make peace, we will never do it." Louis sighed, expressing helplessness.
Charlee Ford held the railing next to him and thought pale that the other party had been out of order for so long, but this time he suddenly shot at them. It is estimated that this time, it will not end easily.
Her idea was soon confirmed.
The sailor, whom Louis had sent to make peace, ran back quickly, pale and panting, "They say we should stop at once and let them board, or they will keep attacking us until we stop!"
"What? What the hell are they going to do?" Louis looked a little pale.
When Mr. Jin saw it, he asked, "Can't you go to Yongle Island for reinforcements? How long will it take to leave the island here?"
Louis glanced at him, his eyes heavy. "Can't go."
Once he asked for reinforcements, the king was bound to know the bad news about his work, and then the old guys who were eyeing him on weekdays were bound to exploit the topic again.
After thinking about it, Louis finally sighed helplessly and said, "Stop the boat."
"But if we let them aboard, we will …" the sailor tried to persuade again.
Louis glared at him and said, "Who dares to disobey my orders?!"
Mr. King looked at him like this, and a dull light crossed his face.
He quietly approached Charlee Ford and said, "If something happens later, give priority to protecting me from escape."
