Liang Jian: I have a canteen

Madeira's bow dipped slightly, then rose again, the waves on either side of the hull gliding leisurely across its surface, like two white dragons moving with the wind beside it.

风.
It seemed a bit too big, and the ship began to rock violently after Xu San entered the room.

"It's getting windy!" Hans said casually beside him.

"How did you know?" Xu San was very curious. He didn't think Hans was lying, but he wanted to know how Hans knew the wind was about to pick up while he was in the cabin.

“My family has had navigators for generations, so we can make simple predictions about the weather at sea.” Hans swayed his body gently without using his hands to maintain his balance. At this moment, he was like a mast swaying in the wind, standing firm even in the biggest storms.

“Interesting. Then tell me, how big will the phoenix grow?”

"A little wind and waves won't cause much damage to this cruise ship; at most, we'll just feel some rocking."

"Sigh~" Xu San seemed a little disappointed, "I thought I was going to encounter a storm!"

"The Storm," Hans said, taking a sip of his drink. "It's not that exaggerated, but in Asia... well, the ocean is so vast, anything can happen. My predictions aren't always accurate. But then again, even if we encounter a storm, this ship isn't exactly known for its sails. If the waves get too high, as long as we anchor in time, we'll usually be fine. But... no one who sails the seas likes stormy days."

"Isn't it said that the bigger the waves, the bigger the fish?" Xu San continued meaningfully.

Hans's unfocused eyes suddenly lit up for a moment, then returned to his drunken, dazed state. "Let's go, let's go, stop rambling. I know exactly where this 'wealth' you're talking about is."

The cabin wasn't large, but it wasn't small either.

The area is about 20 square meters, which is a one-bedroom apartment with a living room, and there is also a separate bathroom.

There are windows, and there are people.

Just a few steps after Xu San entered the room, he saw three people. All three had dark skin, but even so, Xu San could tell that they were of European descent and were probably Caucasian.

The three men's expressions didn't reveal much, but their posture suggested they were former soldiers, and most likely naval personnel.

"Hello~" Xu San waved to the three people as soon as he saw them and greeted them in English.

The three of them simply nodded slightly in return.

Although they had returned the greeting, the three of them did not stand up from their chairs.

Xu San took a few steps and pulled Hans to sit near the window.

At this moment, Sisford also entered the cabin. He smiled and said to Hans, "Let me introduce these gentlemen."

Xu San waved his hand, "Bosun, forget the formalities. All you want to say is, how much money will we get if we help you quell the passengers' commotion?"

Sisford's eyebrows twitched. He hadn't expected Xu San to be so direct, bringing up money without even an opening.

However, Xu San is Xu San after all; he cannot represent Hans.

So after Xu San finished speaking, he turned to Hans and asked, "Mr. Haas? What do you mean?"

"His meaning is my meaning!" Hans readily granted Xu San authorization. After speaking, he glanced around the cabin, then got up, went to the wine cabinet, took out two glasses, and returned to his original position. (End of Chapter)
