I am a literary giant in Europe

Chapter 593 I didn't meet you at your best age, but I met you who were as fierce as wolves and tigers!

That night, the sirens attacked.

This time, however, she seemed to have learned her lesson. Instead of attacking the control panel, she circled the yacht, especially in the sea.

With her wheat-colored skin, she moved about, her movements shimmering in the moonlight.

Liu Jin then went shirtless, transformed into Poseidon, and leaped into the sea to engage in a chase with the sea monster.

Fortunately, there are sharks in this area.

The sirens didn't dare stray too far from the ship, otherwise it would have been a real struggle.

In the end, Liu Jin fought his way out of the sea and returned to the ship with the mermaid.

……

But it's really tough!
Liu Jin slept soundly until dawn.

We originally planned to set sail around 8 or 9 o'clock.

But I'm so tired!
Poseidon had a tough time, and so did the Sirens.

The two slept until 10 a.m., and if it weren't for the Coast Guard's call over the radio, they probably wouldn't have gotten up.

The sirens returned to the ship's hold.

Liu Jin picked up the radio and reported the yacht's number and his own identity to the Coast Guard.

After confirming there were no problems, the Coast Guard turned around and left without even approaching the Victor Hugo.

At noon, Monica cooked a steak, which tasted pretty good.

After the two had eaten and drunk their fill, they continued their journey.

However, since the Sirens' true nature had already been exposed, they no longer bothered to hide it.

Liu Jin was driving the yacht, while the siren kept teasing him from the side.

So the yacht kept stopping and starting, and it wasn't until 9 p.m. that it finally reached the waters off Carloforte.

That's still a long way from Doms Maddria.

Moreover, it was already late, and even Caroleford's side could not enter the port.

After contacting the port of Calofort, the only option was to enter the port to resupply after daybreak.

I estimate it will be afternoon by the time I finish filling up the tank...

It's already the 31st!

At this rate, it's unlikely we'll reach the port of Fiumicino by June 2nd.

Well, Fiumicino port is closer to Rome, so Monica changed her original destination.

Tonight, I can't afford to do anything reckless.

Get some rest and head to the dock early tomorrow to refuel.

Liu Jin drank a bottle of beer and decided to abstain from alcohol for the day.

Then, at midnight, the Sirens launched another sneak attack, forcing Liu Jin to be possessed by Poseidon again, and he fought his way from the control panel all the way to the deck.

The sea breeze is very gentle.

The yacht rocked and swayed with the rise and fall of the waves at sea.

Liu Jin and Monica got entangled on the deck.

The moon has disappeared behind the clouds...

So when a new day came, Liu Jin practiced a set of rejuvenating stances, and then, somewhat listlessly, drove his yacht into the port of Carofort.

He was too lazy to even get off the ship!
They directly instructed the dock workers to refuel the Victor Hugo.

Monica, on the other hand, slept soundly in her cabin until the afternoon.

Around three o'clock, the yacht set sail again, leaving the dock and entering the waterway.

Monica also got up, carrying two cups of coffee to the counter, and handed one to Liu Jin.

Where will we stop today?

"I don't think we'll have time to stop in Doms-Madria. Tonight we'll head straight into Tyrrhenian."

However, we need to stick close to Sardinia. While refueling in Calofotai, I heard from the staff that there have been many smuggling boats in the Tyrrhenian Sea lately, so we'd better be careful. It would be troublesome if we encountered a refugee boat.”

"You don't seem to like those refugees."

"How do you like it?"

Monica sat in the passenger seat next to her and took a sip of coffee.

She was still wearing a bikini bottom...

She seems to have quite a lot of swim trunks. Liu Jin apparently tore two pairs yesterday, but she still has new ones.

He was still wearing a loose floral shirt on his upper body, but the shirt looked familiar; it belonged to Liu Jin.

It looks quite good on her.

"If you were a journalist in front of a camera, I would definitely say that I warmly welcome refugees to Italy."

But here...

Did you record it?

Why record it?

Didn't you read today's newspaper?

"Not yet."

"Indra's recording has been leaked by his friend!"

"what?"

"He mentioned you several times while chatting with his friends, and used very bad words."

Didn't the media say before that there was no recording?

Now, the recording is out...it seems like it's caused quite a stir, like someone is pushing this together behind the scenes.

Monica said, glancing at Liu Jin.

Liu Jin shook his head and said, "It has nothing to do with me."

However, I know who it is!

"Who?"

Monica, with a gossipy expression, asked curiously.

Liu Jin took a cigarette from the control panel, and Monica lit it for him.

"It's Simon & Schuster Publishing; they want the North American distribution of my Ezio trilogy..."

He contacted Mela, but I told her not to respond.

"Wait, I remember Indra, isn't she their writer?"

"Yes!"

Monica also lit a cigarette, enjoying the sea breeze.

"I thought your writers' circle would be a bit more humane than Hollywood."

"Just kidding, that's one of the top six in North America..."

We're all making a living on the same land, how different do you think there can be?

"So, do you want to cooperate with them?"

"Cooperation? Why not cooperate? I also need more channels."

Last year's falling out with Random House, though we're trying to repair the relationship, taught me one thing: there's no such thing as personal relationships there, only profit. I need another channel to move between the four major publishing houses.

Otherwise, if problems arise, it's easy to be targeted. "Okay, a smart choice."

"By the way, what would you choose?"

“I don’t like it, especially since last year, the security situation in big cities like Rome and Milan has been deteriorating.”

Are refugees pitiful or not?
Pitiful!
But to paraphrase a Chinese proverb: "Every pitiful person has something hateful about them!"
Thinking of those children in war-torn areas who shouted "Qinqiang opera is poor" at the Chinese people who came to their aid, Liu Jin found it hard to feel any goodwill towards them.

In his previous life, he would have already returned to China during this period.

Therefore, I didn't feel it deeply.

But now, he is still here, witnessing firsthand how arrogant and domineering some of the refugees are.

Do you remember Chloe's assassination attempt?

From that time on, he became wary of refugees.

Because you never know if the people on the refugee ship are refugees or someone else entirely.

Europe will intensify its crackdown on refugees in the future... However, a report of a girl who died on an Italian beach gave the Church of Our Lady a renewed boost, and it has since firmly occupied the high ground in public opinion, making the whole of Europe increasingly chaotic.

Liu Jin didn't want to comment on these things; he just wanted to leave them as they were.

……

Around midnight, the yacht entered Tyrrhenian.

However, Liu Jin did not dare to approach the coastline of the Apennine Peninsula, but instead drove close to the coastline of Sardinia.

It will be within about 30 nautical miles of the coastline.

He anchored the ship off the coast of Lavessimus.

As soon as the boat stopped, Monica sat on his lap.

Liu Jin smiled and said, "Monica, I suddenly feel very sorry."

"what?"

Why didn't I meet you at the best age of your life?

Monica was taken aback, then moved closer and kissed Liu Jin, her arms around him.

Her floral shirt was taken off, revealing a flirtatious look in her eyes.

Liu Jin finally managed to break free from those two ample mounds and laughed, "I haven't finished yet."

"Tell me!"

Monica spoke in a nasal, indistinct voice.

"I mean, and then I ran into you, who's as fierce as a wolf!"

Monica was stunned for a moment, then reacted and said angrily, "Amos, damn it, I'll show you what it means to be a real wolf or tiger."

With that, he shoved Liu Jin hard to the ground!

……

"Monica, did you hear that?"

"What did you hear?"

Monica's voice was already somewhat dazed.

"It looks like a ship is approaching."

"How could that be? Who would bring a boat over so late?"

Liu Jin's mind immediately cleared.

Monica realized what was happening and quickly separated from Liu Jin.

"The gun is under the pillow."

After Liu Jin finished speaking, he picked up the hunting rifle from the gun rack, turned on the high beams, and scanned the sea.

A boat did indeed approach; it looked like a kayak...

Liu Jin grabbed a handful of bullets, got off the control panel, rushed to the ship's side, raised his shotgun, and fired two shots into the air.

He then immediately loaded the bullets.

"Siren, shine the light over here."

Monica stood on the control panel and immediately turned the headlights in the direction of the lights.

The kayak was about two or three hundred meters away from the Victor-Hugo.

Liu Jin set up his hunting rifle and aimed it at the kayak.

boom!
Another shot!
The bullet hit the sea surface, splashing up a spray of water.

"Get out of here, or the next shot will be on your ship."

"Siren, weigh anchor, start the engine."

Monica recently learned some basic operations on the ship.

Without saying a word, she immediately started the yacht and weighed anchor.

The engine roared, and she nervously watched Liu Jin standing on the ship's side below the control panel.

Liu Jin fired again, then quickly reloaded.

He's a good shot; he's been training with Lao Zhong for four or five years.

When I return to Grysant Estate, I practice shooting every day.

The reload speed was very fast, and then it fired again.

I'm having second thoughts about the kayak!

"Get out of here, or don't blame me."

boom!
Another shot.

This time, the impact point was very close to the kayak, demonstrating Liu Jin's very tough stance.

The kayak finally stopped approaching.

At this moment, the yacht was warmed up, and Monica pushed the lever, causing the yacht to slowly move and crash into the kayak.

That woman is really fierce!

Liu Jin immediately reloaded and fired another warning shot.

This time, the people in the kayak were frightened and quickly turned the boat around to avoid the yacht, then sped away into the distance.

Liu Jin finally breathed a sigh of relief and plopped down on the deck.

"Amos, are you alright? Should we stop the ship?"

"Don't stop, keep going forward. We're too close to the smuggling route. We need to move forward... stop after we get closer to the port of Abasterks."

"Then come up and start the boat."

"My legs are weak, let me rest for a bit."

At the control panel, Monica paused for a moment, then giggled.

"Why don't you come up first and put on some clothes before we talk?"

Liu Jin let out a sigh of relief and said irritably, "You weren't wearing any either, were you?"

The laughter from the control panel grew even louder.

Liu Jin couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Once he started laughing, he couldn't stop, and then he burst into laughter!
