Ridiculous, do you think this can offset your offense?
Rovos's mouth curled up into a scornful smile, waiting for the Vaifan's humble request, and began to think of a refusal that would best reflect his status.
He would not leave the room. He wanted everyone to know that this foolish woman had locked up a nobleman, a hero, in a cold confinement room, imprisoning that noble soul and bringing shame to all Victorian nobles.
No matter how much you regret, it's too late.
"Captain Rovos, you have been wronged." Bella had an apologetic and sincere smile on her face. "Miss Olicia and everyone on the ship are waiting for you. We want to help you clear your name."
Rovos guessed the first sentence of the Vaifan, but he didn't expect the second sentence. He instinctively felt that something was wrong and asked cautiously: "What do you mean?"
Bella smiled evilly: "Literally, noble sir, the passengers are waiting for your explanation. The entire service hall is full for you."
"What a boring trick, I won't go!" Rovos said bluntly.
He saw that the Vaifan in front of him suddenly turned cold as ice, and his voice was so clear that it seemed to be mixed with ice.
"Then I can only tell the passengers that Captain Rovos feels that his crime is unforgivable and he has no face to meet you all. Ha, this is the courage of a nobleman."
"Wait." Rovos squinted his eyes and said disdainfully, "Little girl, what a crude trick. I just didn't want people to be deceived by a villain like you."
"Thank you for your visit, sir." Bella was too lazy to pretend anymore and spoke sarcastically. After she finished speaking, she walked in front to lead the way, not even bothering to look at the captain.
Rovos followed behind, thinking in his heart: Although the cooperation with the Mafia failed this time and he failed to get enough money to escape, fortunately, he did not reveal any major flaws. Moreover, he still has a noble status, and this group of ordinary people will not be able to do anything to him.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that his ideas were correct, and with every step forward, he became more confident. But when he walked into the service hall that had been converted into a public trial platform, he couldn't help but gasp.
Who on earth could come up with such a vicious plan!
Sure enough, according to what the Vaifan woman said, his location was in the center of the north side.
Listening to the noisy discussions in the hall, Rovos walked towards his seat without looking around.
Ridiculous! Do commoners really want to make nobles nervous and embarrassed?
He would let that despicable scene arranger understand that she was making a mess of things, and the central position would become the most glorious stage in his hands.
Rovos Huey stood in the seat reserved for him, like a victorious general standing on the podium.
Who is the white-haired Rupert who is standing in front of him at the first seat on the south side? She is so young, why is even that difficult Vaifan standing behind her?
Is that Olivia?
Humph, nothing to be afraid of.
He saw Miss Rupert, who was sitting at the head, stand up and nod to him slightly: "Captain Rovos, hello, I am Olicia. This gathering is mainly to help everyone solve a doubt. Thank you for coming."
Is it because you know my noble status that you are so respectful?
Rovos nodded as he thought, "Miss Olicia, I deeply agree and appreciate this action. It is very important to me."
"Of course." White Wolf smiled and said, "To make a long story short, let me briefly summarize what happened. Last night, the Mafia used strong hypnotic drugs to control the airship and gathered everyone in the warehouse on the bottom floor. Later, with the joint efforts of me and the Vaifans behind me, the control of this ship was regained. Do you have any objection to this?"
The passengers certainly had no objection, and Rovos nodded in agreement. It would be disadvantageous for him to find fault with something that was recognized by everyone.
"Okay, Captain Rovos, we now have two versions of your position in this incident. You insist that you are innocent and have done meritorious deeds, but the captured mafia has identified you as an accomplice, and your crew members have also stood against you. Do you have anything to say?"
"The Mafia's words are not credible. As for my crew members." Rovos looked at the crew members on the left side of the podium sadly, "You have all been deceived. This is a conspiracy of the Mafia."
"Captain, do you think we are fools? So many people were deceived together?"
"Do you really think we've discovered nothing all this time?"
Hearing the chaotic voices of the crew, White Wolf coughed and said, "Everyone, please don't get excited. If you have any objections, please speak in turn."
She had already communicated with the crew members and knew that these people had highly credible testimony in their hands. It would be better for Captain Rovos to just admit defeat at this stage, so that she could waste less time talking.
The first crew member stood up and spoke: "Good evening, everyone. I will not be long-winded. I am the material manager of this ship, responsible for the overall coordination of materials. Three days ago, the captain decided to go to Yuegang for material replenishment, but there was no shortage of materials on the airship. I advised the captain at that time, and other crew members also saw this, but the captain still insisted on docking at Yuegang. Why?"
Rovos nodded. "Yes, you did advise me. However, although we have enough supplies, we can't say that we have enough. The captain's code requires us to be cautious in everything. For the sake of the passengers, is there any problem in going to resupply?"
The material manager was about to reply when another crew member stood up and said, "Captain, have you forgotten something else? Before you decided to dock at Moon Harbor, I had clearly reminded you that if we save the four hours of docking and go straight, we can avoid the storm. How do you explain entering Moon Harbor at the risk of exposing the airship to extreme weather for the sake of supplies that are not in short supply? By the way, I am the weather observer of this ship."
Rovos said calmly, "Kuloff, you are still too young, and I have been on different airships for more than ten years. My experience is far greater than all of you. If we keep moving forward, it is equivalent to competing with a storm of unknown size. According to past cases, all airship accidents occurred in such careless unknowns."
The crew member named Kulov stomped his feet in anger and pointed at the captain, about to say something, but was choked back by Rovos: "Kulov, if it's still about the weather, you don't have to say anything more. I'm the captain and I have much more experience in this area. Besides, the result is very clear. Wasn't our airship safe from beginning to end?"
The crew's questioning continues.
"Captain, on the afternoon of the incident, you gathered us together and asked everyone to toast together. Wasn't this something you arranged in advance? You took the opportunity to put drugs in the wine!"
"Alas." Rovos sighed, "What could I do at that time? The Mafia threatened the lives of all the crew members. If I didn't do what they said, the stuff in everyone's cup would probably not be hypnotic but poison. Please believe me, I really am protecting you."
……
This person is quite amazing.
White Wolf looked at Rovos with interest as he countered her moves. The other party's calm expression gave her a hunch that it might not be helpful even if all the crew members on the scene joined forces.
She noticed that each of Rovos's answers was supported by a set of corresponding reasons, which were flawed by those who had experienced them personally. The crew members should have felt that there was something wrong with the captain's explanation, but without solid evidence, they could not refute it.
She continued to watch silently the debate between the crew and Rovos.
Bella, who was standing behind the White Wolf, was getting anxious. If this continued, Rovos's advantage would only grow bigger. She had already seen a faint smug smile on the other's face.
She couldn't help it, so she gently tapped the white wolf's shoulder.
White Wolf easily guessed Bella's mood, smiled, put his left hand on her shoulder, and gently patted the back of her hand.
The more difficult the opponent is, the more patient you need to be.
The successive victories made Rovos more and more proud. His originally serious face was replaced by a smug smile. He was able to quickly defeat these doubts and fight back, transforming himself into a hero who endured humiliation.
It's ridiculous. I was actually a little nervous before. They are just a group of inferior civilians. What tricks can they play?
After answering another question that seemed to be a question but actually added to his reputation, Rovos looked around the entire hall with confidence and said with the most sincere expression: "Everyone, I have answered enough questions. Now, I also want to ask you one thing."
The hall was quiet, and Olivia smiled and nodded to him.
Become!
Rovos suppressed the joy that was swelling in his heart and looked at everyone with a confused face: "I really don't understand. Why would anyone doubt me? As a noble, why would I cooperate with the despicable Mafia?"
The scene fell silent, and everyone was thinking about his question. At this time, Olicia, who had never shown any hostility towards him throughout the whole process, suddenly stood up.
He saw a peacefully smiling face with a hint of surprise in that smile, as if it was an audience that was satisfied after enjoying an outstanding play.
"The reason is in your mind. Aren't you planning to sell your people and property to Yuegang, and go to Columbia, the paradise of the rich, under an assumed name? As for the whereabouts of the airship, you can completely blame it on the storm. In a week at most, the newspapers will publish the news that the Z403 airship encountered a storm and crashed into the sea. Aren't you planning to arrange these with all your heart?"
"It is not as comfortable for a rich man as for a poor nobleman, is it not, Captain Roworth?"
Volume 5: Chapter 22 Is the outcome final?
When a person immersed in warm joy is suddenly splashed with a basin of cold water, the dangerous and deadly ice chips pierce into the heart, and the strong psychological gap accompanied by fear will make the person look strange.
At that moment, Rovos' eyes widened and the muscles at the corners of his mouth twitched, revealing a forced and slightly distorted smile.
He would never have imagined that the secret hidden deep in his heart would be suddenly revealed in such a grand occasion, when he was most proud of himself.
His reactions were quick.
The ugliness of astonishment only appeared for a moment, and then he forced himself to control his facial expression and turned it back to normal.
No one saw it, no one saw it, but I was about to win, just a little bit!
Rovos kept reminding himself, with an awkward smile on his face, and said awkwardly: "Oh, Miss Olicia, you have a very rich imagination. Haha, I was almost scared by you."
Looking at Olivia's face which always had a peaceful smile, the index finger of his right hand could not help but tremble slightly.
This person was going to throw him into the abyss as soon as he opened his mouth. The threat he posed was far greater than that of the aggressive Vaifan!
The passengers in the audience did not understand what Miss Olicia asked at first, but the captain's strange behavior immediately captured their attention and they began to question their previous thoughts.
Some people who had been watching the captain discovered something strange. The captain's behavior at that moment seemed to reveal something in his heart. Could it be that...
Everyone's eyes were once again focused on Olisia, who was everyone's savior and had been trusted by them from the beginning. Now, with just a few words, she had turned the steady captain into this state. They were eager to see the next step of progress.
White Wolf smiled at Rovos and then answered seriously, "Of course I was joking. I just livened up the atmosphere. You are a noble, you won't blame me for such a small thing, right?"
Rovos breathed a sigh of relief and said hastily, "No, no, Miss Olicia's joke is very funny."
"Well, do you want to know why I said that? Did I really make it up out of thin air?" White Wolf narrowed his eyes into crescents and asked with a smile.
I just want to scare you to death, you bad guy!
Rovos's heart, which had just calmed down, was immediately replaced by fear.
This this…
I was confused. How could that information be a joke? Olicia must know something. But how could she know? The news had never been revealed.
No, I think I said it several times, with the boss of the mafia.
Ah! Could it be...
Before Rovos could react, White Wolf suddenly said, "Captain, look to the right."
right?
With his brain highly tense, Rovos looked over subconsciously, only to see several mafia representatives sitting on stools with their hands and feet tied.
What's so cool about this?
"Did you notice? Some people are missing?"
The clear, ethereal sound turned into the whisper of a demon.
Rovos immediately understood what the other party was implying. The missing person was the mafia boss.
Could it be that the other party did not escape using the hang glider or the spare boat, but was captured alive and has now been sold?
No, this Rupert might be trying to trick him. If they really captured the mafia boss alive, they would be able to get enough evidence directly and there would be no need to do this.
This Olicia has no depth at all!
In the midst of all the confusion, Rovos raised his head and secretly glanced at Olicia. The other party was still standing there as if she was taking a leisurely stroll in the garden, with an unchanging smile on her face, quietly looking at him.
He could not stand such gazes. Only when he stood in his position personally could he understand that it was as if the superior was observing an ant with amusement.
Rovos said in frustration and resentment: "Actually you know, right?"
The evil-hearted Miss White Wolf was enjoying observing the Captain's conflicted expression, and was slightly stunned when she heard the other party's sudden question.
What does she know?
Apart from the little things I overheard before, I don’t know anything!
However, he must not lose his momentum at this moment, as hundreds of people in the hall were staring at him. As if by inspiration, some of Ms. Kal'tsit's language skills suddenly popped into White Wolf's mind.
Her eyes became distant and deep, she sighed without comment, and said calmly: "Rovos, what I know is beyond your imagination."
As soon as these words were spoken, the first people to suddenly realize something were the passengers on the ship. They finally understood why Miss Olicia was able to save everyone in such a critical situation. It turned out that she had grasped the most critical information from the very beginning.
It was really hard to imagine that while they were still wasting time on the boat, young Miss Olivia was already doing such a big thing.
As viewers, Aina and Tianhuo were completely confused. Didn't Miss Olicia study the blueprints with them for a few days? When did she find time to save the world?
Bella, who knew part of the truth but not all of it, was the most special. She stood behind the White Wolf, and every word and action of the White Wolf touched her heart. She had no doubt that Miss Olisia had the means to know everything.
This state is somewhat similar to the fanatical worship of Kal'tsit in Rhodes Island, but the difference is that she had the special experience of holding Miss Olicia in her arms, so her mentality was tainted with something strange compared to the former.
Some people laugh, and some people cry.
Rovos fell into a frenzy filled with unknown fear.
She knows everything!
No, she doesn't know!
No, no, she knows!
Those contact letters must be in her hands!
No, not possible.
Why not? At least, she must have seen it.
Was the Mafia connected to her from the beginning?
Maybe someone is trying to frame me!
Why, who is it? The crew? Coveting my position?
Olicia, you still have that face, treating me like an ant? What do you know? Everyone is acting, lying to me! Why, damn it! Damn it! Damn it!
