Mystery: Who has seen my brother?

Chapter 207 Offense
Danitz looked at Lina's pretty face, and all he wanted was to punch her hard. He opened his mouth, wanting to refute, but suddenly realized that this matter seemed to somewhat undermine the heroic image of "Flame" Danitz. All the words immediately got stuck in his throat, and he only uttered a vague "uh".

He rolled his eyes and looked at Klein beside him, then put his arm around his shoulders and said, "Just bringing a brother out to play."

After saying that, he quietly raised his head and winked frantically at Klein, blinking rapidly, hoping that he would understand what he meant.

Klein saw Danitz's eyes blinking rapidly, and he felt a little curious. Did he really think his actions were secretive? He felt a little amused. After receiving the information from Danitz, Klein didn't know whether to expose him. Without knowing the truth, he chose to remain silent, neither admitting nor denying.

But for Danitz, as long as the other party didn't deny it on the spot, it would be enough to embarrass him.

Klein ignored Danitz and turned to look at the woman who was talking to Danitz, Lina, who was sitting next to Eve. He had seen her on the wanted poster. Lina, the "Black Rose" of the Sea, had a higher bounty than Danitz.

The adventurer's gaze wasn't secretive, and the other party quickly noticed his observation. Lina saw Klein's eyes fixed on her, and habitually raised the corners of her eyes slightly. She leaned back, her gaze lingering on Klein like a thread drawn from honey.

Klein was slightly startled, seemingly unprepared for Lina's reaction. He looked away with a hint of discomfort and turned to look at Eve.

"It's a surprise, but not bad, is it?" Eve spread her hands and said nonchalantly, shaking the menu in her hand and saying, "I've already ordered."

Lina looked at Eve, then at Klein, her beautiful eyes flickering between the two. She then sat up straight and asked with a smile, "Who is..."

"My brother."

Brother... Lina looked at the two people's dissimilar faces with a bit of inquiry in her eyes. She put away her charming smile, but her waist remained straight.

"Hey, man, this is your sister!" Compared to Lina's silence, Danitz was much more straightforward. He pointed directly at Eve, his face showing obvious surprise and disbelief, and said in a loud voice, "But you two don't look alike at all."

"German" combines the facial features of "Zhou Mingrui", but Eve is not "Zhou Mingzhen".

Eve's smile grew brighter as she tossed the menu upwards, spinning it twice in the air before catching it firmly. She repeated the action again and again, saying, "Doesn't it look like it?"

Lina's body stiffened, and she cursed Danitz in her heart, calling him the stupidest idiot in the world.

Danitz was about to speak when he saw Klein bend down, reach out, and easily take the menu from Eve's hand. He came to his senses and was about to speak when he suddenly realized that he had forgotten what he was going to say.

Danitz frowned and was about to recall it when his attention was suddenly drawn to the pain on the back of his hand.

He turned his head and looked at his hand on Klein's shoulder. A scarlet, thin wound was slowly oozing blood, and the murderer was using the murder weapon to pry his hand away from his shoulder.

Klein looked at the few drops of blood on the top of the menu and threw it on the table with a "pop". He raised his head and looked at Danitz with deep eyes. "Please maintain social distance, Mr. Pirate."

Eve crossed her hands and supported her chin, her pair of sea-blue eyes full of affection like the calm sea, staring at the person in front of her calmly.

Danitz was stunned for a moment, then all the hairs on his body stood on end. A sense of dangerous unease inexplicably emerged in his mind, madly kicking at his intuition. Although his brain hadn't yet analyzed the current situation, he still knew that he had said the wrong thing.

The feeling of unease came out of nowhere but was too strong. He hesitated for two seconds, and in those brief moments, it grew even stronger, as if it was about to burst out of his body and punch and kick Danitz. Things didn't seem as simple as Danitz had imagined, and without further hesitation, he blurted out "I'm sorry."

"I'm so sorry... I..."

However, it was obvious that the pirate was not very experienced in apologizing. He kept saying "um" and "uh" for a long time without expressing his meaning clearly. Of course, this was probably because he was not clear about the cause of the conflict.

"Ah."

Eve suddenly sneered from her throat, and in an instant, the eyes of the three people fell on her.

Lina's heart suddenly tightened, fearing that this conflict of unknown cause would affect her, while Danitz was still confused.

Under the gazes of the three people, Eve spread out the blood-stained menu and said, "Order."

Klein sat down confidently, picked up the menu, and began to order. Danitz looked at Eve, then at Klein. The three of them looked at each other one by one, and finally their eyes fell on Eve. They sat down hesitantly.

After placing the order, Danitz went to the counter and borrowed a clean cloth, which he wrapped tightly around his palm twice to stop the bleeding.

After the meal, Klein took the initiative to discuss the agency fee and paid Danitz a fair price. Unexpectedly, Eve paid for everyone, which undoubtedly relieved Lina and Danitz.

"Do I look ferocious?" Eve was holding the grilled fish she had prepared for Ruirui, and she was walking side by side with Klein on the street, heading towards a secluded place.

"No," Klein said.

"I won't kill him. I'll just make him suffer for a while." Eve sneered.

"I know," Klein continued, looking straight ahead, "but you feel offended."

"How to say?"

"Because I feel offended," Klein explained. He knew Eve would feel even more strongly about this matter. He was using the identity of "German," who looked similar to Zhou Mingrui. The wound also reflected Klein's own anger, even though he knew it wasn't Danitz's fault. He was the first to speak up, so he had the misfortune of bearing their wrath. Undoubtedly, they would be much more polite to the second person to raise the issue.

Eve paused for a moment, then continued walking forward with the crisp sound of her heels hitting the ground. "You'll get used to it."

"Can you get used to this kind of thing?" Klein quickened his pace, catching up with Eve and asking with a frown. Even if he would be more polite when faced with the same thing in the future, he didn't think the feeling of being offended would diminish.

“There’s nothing you can’t get used to.”
