Chapter 16 River's Disturbance

"This is a good boat. The best boat I have ever seen in my life." River drank all the drinks in the cup, and naturally the waiter of the cafe came to fill it up. River stretched his waist tightly and said with a smile: "In the past ten years, nearly half of the time has been spent on the boat every year. He has long regarded the boat as his second home. As for the home, I always have to protect it with all my strength. I will try my best to stop anyone who wants to destroy this boat, so the people of the association are also relieved to leave the guard task to me."

"So, are you worried that we are an instability factor?" Catherine asked with a weird smile, "That's why we were invited to sit down and negotiate?"

"How is it possible? I don't have that great ability to sit down and negotiate with the four legends." River shook his head with a smile and said, "And you are the guests invited by Marquis Snape. Even if anyone is likely to endanger the ship, you have no possibility, because if the Marquis had this idea, no one would say anything if he bought the ship back and smashed it. There is no need for you to harm the Jeff."

"Yeah? Four legends?" The three girls turned their heads and stared at Freya together: "You have been promoted too? Why didn't we see it?"

"It is difficult to see the advancement of the crystal gunman and the mechanic." Freya said with aggrievedly holding Bingshui: "It will only be revealed in battle. You can't see anything strange, wuwu, I want to be with the sour grass juice."

"Well, I found it in the information," River nodded and said, "Otherwise, even if I am a legend, I will not be able to see it like everyone else."

"I'm curious, Mr. River, why did you stay on the boat for ten years?" Catherine leaned back on the lounge chair and stretched her overlapping legs, asking, "As Mr. River, as a legendary Ranger, there is a better choice."

"It's so much money. You basically don't have to do anything after a trip. It's just a 20,000 gold coins. You are adventurers. Even if you work in the Golden Adventure Group, you will only earn more than 100,000 yuan for two or three months. With the loss, everyone will earn another penny, and the result is similar to my income from lying down and resting every day." River said as he said, he suddenly laughed even harder and shook his head and said, "Just kidding, this is really boring, but I can't do anything about it. I suffer from gout, and I often feel cold sweat all over my body and can't even walk. When the pain is the most severe, I really want to cut off my legs. In this case, being idle on this boat while recuperating is the best choice."

"That's really a pity." Catherine sighed sympathetically: "But that's fine. At least you don't have to risk your life anymore. A safe and stable life is also a good choice."

"I used to be unwilling to live a dull life when I was young," River said with a squinted eyes. "But the older I am, the more I feel that a dull life is the real happiness. Not only has my body and mood improved, but my temper also improved. Look at how I am now, I haven't been angry for three years, hahahaha. Well, but my mood has become a little bad in the past two days. I'm a little worried about the safety of the Jeff."

"What?" Catherine was stunned and asked, "Is there any problem?"

"The businessman is the most well-informed person. He is more well-informed than most people." River sighed, and although he was sighing, his fat face still had a habitual smile: "The news I got yesterday is that someone might be thinking about the four floating boats of the association, maybe he wants to take away one of them."

"Snatch away?" Penis suddenly interrupted, "What can they use to do if they take away?"

"No one can figure out this problem. Aerial boats are basically useless." River said: "For personnel transportation, it can be transported at most two or three hundred people at a time. For materials transportation, the floating boats are not suitable for cargo and are used as weapons. Basically, a few crystal cannons can be used to knock it down, and it has no effect except to smash people. No matter how you think about it, you can't figure out the reason why someone wants to take it away, so many people think that this is probably a false information, released to interfere with our business decisions."

"This kind of fake information is too weird." Catherine frowned and said, "What is the specific content of the information?"

"I don't know either." River clapped his hands and said with a wry smile: "The intelligence of our association is compiled from clues that seem insignificant, and then a dedicated person is responsible for summarizing and analyzing it. Therefore, it is impossible to say what the information is like in the normal sense. For example, I can't even figure out how this message was analyzed. Let's not talk about further clues, which clues were analyzed."

"But you are not afraid of courage." Lina said lukewarmly, "I clearly think someone might cause trouble, but she dares to continue sailing. Or is your association just treating us passengers as bait and lures out enemies who are peeping in secret?"

"Miss Lina, what do you think we should do?" River asked back with a smile: "Stop sailing for a message that doesn't even know the truth or falsehood, or even vaguely itself?"

"Well." Lina was speechless and pushed her glasses and said, "I can't help but admit that what you said makes sense. It's really impossible to cancel the voyage for such a problem. She can only secretly increase her vigilance."

"Even more alert is difficult to do," River said: "There are only so many people on the ship, and all the cabins have been inspected in detail by a dedicated person three times. It is impossible for anyone to hide them on the ship. Besides a few guests on the ship, there are only three high-level pros and only golden ranks. Even if they join forces, they cannot take away the control of the ship from me. Therefore, we have no way to start with strengthening alert. We can only make each guard be alert and beware of changes at any time. All we can do is to this extent."

"Do you want to hire us when you tell us this?" Catherine asked. "Helping us to deal with this crisis together?"

"No, no, you misunderstood." River shook his head and said, "It's not a crisis at all, and there's no need to ask for help. I'm telling you about this, just want to talk to you first. If you really find any problems during the voyage, you must notify us as soon as possible. Of course, the same is true for us. Once there are any signs, I will ask for help from you."

"Oh, I understand." Catherine raised her lips and whispered: "Just find a few free spies to serve as early warnings. If there is no problem, you will save this expense. If there is any problem, you will be a businessman. The calculations are so meticulous that you won't suffer any loss."

"Hahahaha." River smiled cheerfully and waved his hand and said, "You are too exaggerating. I'm just leading the problem to a win-win result. I'm not very good at calculating."

"Okay, we won't pursue it. After all, we are on a boat vacation this time. We really want us to take on the mission formally, but we don't want to. This method is good now." Catherine lets River go and agrees to his request: "However, Grandpa Snape temporarily changed the itinerary this time, and you should have provided the news."

"No, we won't do this." River said seriously: "But when we have to inform the guests, we will notify each guest, and we will never selectively notify the guests because of whether the identity of the guests is more important. Moreover, each passenger who can take our airship has a good identity and status. Just like among these guests, there are the Minister of Finance of the Faral Empire, the Vice President of the Commercial Federation, a city lord of the State of the Sea, and a gentleman in the top three wealth list of the Capital of Knowledge. We have never provided any information on these people, and it is impossible to provide early warning to the Marquis alone. Therefore, this time, the Marquis' decision not to board the ship should be decided by him."

"Don't be so nervous," said Catherine. "I just ask casually."

"Actually, the most important thing is this almost absurd news, which is strictly controlled among several senior decision makers of the association. The only remaining are the four legendary ranks responsible for the safety of the four floating boats. Then there are five. Well, I seem to have missed one person." The smile on River's face was curled, and he looked at Maggie who was sitting aside with a line of eyes. He said until he stared at her and was stiff. "Little Maggie, it seems that you have heard some secrets you shouldn't have heard. How can I keep this secret?"

"Wow." Maggie's face changed drastically, and she waved her hand in a panic and said, "I heard nothing, I knew nothing, I didn't know anything, I wanted to steal a ship, Marquis of Snape, and a senior decision-maker, I don't know at all. I really don't know. Don't kill me to silence me."

"Look, don't you know everything?" River pulled out a longbow from under the chair, took an arrow and pointed it into Maggie's direction, and said softly: "Don't blame me, if you want to blame, you know too much."

"Woo, don't kill me." Maggie hugged her head and curled up in a ball on the chair: "It was you who deliberately blocked me and said, "Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Amid Maggie's screams, the longbow stretched continuously, and three arrows passed by Maggie in lightning and shot out of the boat. Not far away, a big bird with four meters long spreading its wings rushed towards the airship.

Three feather arrows were connected into a string. The first shot through the bird's head accurately. Then the second and third feather arrows hit the tail of the first arrow continuously, cleverly changing the direction of the feather arrows' flight, allowing the first powerful arrow to fly back to the floating boat with the victim, just landing at the table of several people.

"Hahahahaha, little Maggie, you're so funny. I'm sorry for not bullying you a few times. Don't cry. Today I'm invited you to stewed bird meat." River instantly returned to his usual kindness and said with a laugh: "There are also everyone from the adventure team. In order to thank you for your promise to help at critical moments, I'll treat you at noon. Stewed bird meat is also a good wild game."

"You please? Isn't the food all free?" Lina said, pressing her glasses: "It's really the style of a businessman."
