Liang Jian: I have a canteen

A single spark can start a prairie fire, and the disappearance of passengers is no small matter.

At first, the incident only spread in a small area, but after a short time, only two or three hours, it spread to most of the economy class.

Economy class is cheaper, but it's crowded. After all, not everyone is willing to spend several or even ten times more to enjoy three days of comfort.

People are afraid of death, and this is a disappearance that is even more terrifying than death.

God knows what happens after someone goes missing.

When the situation first started to spread, it didn't attract the sailors' attention. After all, it's better to mind your own business than to meddle. There's no benefit in meddling, and you won't get the necessary bonus. Moreover, you might be considered negligent by your superiors.

It was only when the situation escalated to the point where it could no longer be contained that someone reported it to Captain David.

David was very upset, but as captain, he had to give orders at this time. Otherwise, once the captain's prestige was lost, it would be difficult to regain it.

So he ordered the Sisford sailors, who had previously negotiated with Hans, to appease Hans. If Hans cooperated, David was willing to pay a fine to avoid trouble.

As for the missing people, he, being an experienced man, naturally had a way to make them reappear before everyone.

or.
They simply made those who still had doubts disappear.

A captain who can navigate international routes in chaotic times needs to be resourceful, especially since David has another special identity.

While Sisford was negotiating with Hans, David also arranged for his trusted men to block some important passages to prevent the further spread of information.

And most importantly, the evening banquet has been cancelled.

As for dinner, it was prepared by the kitchen and delivered to each cabin. The reason given was that a storm might occur that night, and holding a large banquet would pose a significant safety hazard.

The aisles in the cabin are already narrow. When two people meet, one of them has to squeeze through. If one of them is overweight, they will likely have to squeeze together to pass. If both of them are overweight, they will probably get stuck in the aisle if they squeeze together.

Enough of the small talk. To put it bluntly, there were about ten people in a line in this aisle.

There were four people on Sisford's side, and the rest were Hans and his group.

The ten people were not standing side by side; they were scattered in several locations along the corridor.

Sisford walked up to Hans, lowered his voice, and said, "Mr. Hans, let's talk in private."

As Sisford spoke, he turned his gaze toward a ship's hold behind him.

Hans looked around and guessed that the cabin was empty now. He figured he wouldn't be in any danger if he went in, and with so many people around, Sisford probably wouldn't do anything rash.

So, should we go or not?

Hans took a sip of his drink and turned his gaze toward the burly man Adolf behind him.

Adolf had long, red curly hair, and with his fierce eyes, he didn't look like a good person.

“I’ll go with you!” Adolf answered readily, then looked at Sisford, “I’m afraid you’ll kill me to cover it up.”

“No, not at all!” Sisford replied with a smile. “We were just discussing some simple matters with Mr. Hans.” (End of Chapter)
