Mysterious Catastrophe - Chapter 391

[Chapter 390 Ten thousand pounds (6200 plus)]

St. Margaret.

First class cabin.

Aaron glanced at the bedroom, bathroom, cloakroom, and the guest room for servants, and couldn’t help but sigh: “Ordinary first-class cabins are so luxurious, what kind of scenery should the suite look like? Is it the royal palace?”

He put the decorative drawing board and suitcase into the cloakroom, and lay on the sofa, feeling his body being lifted up softly, he couldn’t help sinking in, and sighed contentedly.

“This trip is like a vacation… Speaking of which, although I was an earl, I don’t need to mention the supplies at that time. In my previous life, I was just a lower social class… The happiness of the rich is really unimaginable. .”

“The rest will be discussed in South Indonesia…”

Before, according to the conversation with Mortura, the other party also gave some information.

For example – the ‘Keeper’ seems to focus on the colonial direction, and the ‘History Research Society’ has also developed a force in the world and is active in South Indonesia.

“In addition to this, the resistance army in the colony, as well as the voodoo religion, are also worth noting…”

“Forget it, forget about it for now, go to the bar and have a good time!”

The largest bar on the St. Margaret is only open to first and second class passengers.

In the second-class cabin, apart from the servants of the first-class passengers, they are mainly middle class such as doctors, lawyers, teachers, etc.

As for third-class passengers? There are actually a lot of places that are inaccessible on this luxury resort liner.

…

Long travel life is always boring.

Therefore, places such as bars, swimming pools, libraries, etc. have become a good place for many people to spend time.

Passenger ship bar, by a small round table.

Aaron occupied a position with a glass of gin and tonic in front of him, holding a poker-like entertainment tool in his hand.

During this time, he smoothly integrated into the social circle of the St. Margaret and had a small circle of his own.

“Queen!”

He played a queen card and looked at the man in his thirties who was wearing a brown formal suit and had a beautiful moustache: “Kane, you said you heard about that lady?”

“Of course… a lady so beautiful, living in an expensive first-class suite, how can one not be curious?”

Kane is a senior lawyer who handles business for a client in the colony.

Invis uses the laws of the law of the sea, and a lawyer with outstanding eloquence will bring a lot of benefits to the client, so the lawyers who can go to court here can speak eloquently.

“Then… barrister, tell us about it.”

On the left, Dr. Paul’s eyes are shining. He is a surgeon. He originally opened a small clinic by himself, but he created a big accident-moving too fast during an amputation operation for a patient, not only The patient died of blood loss after treatment, and also injured the surgical assistant next to him, which by the way frightened a rich man who bought a ticket to visit…

Although he spent all his money and hired a barrister to get involved, and finally avoided jail time, his doctor’s license was inevitably revoked.

At this time, he was destitute and ready to go to the New World to try his luck. It is said that the ‘witch doctor’ there does not need a medical license.

Of course, these are secrets that Aaron obtained through special means. Paul claimed that he was embarrassed because of an affair with his nurse, so he went to the new world to hide.

Aaron’s evaluation of him is that, as a friend of wine and meat, apart from some lustful and lame medical skills, other aspects are not bad.

“Paul, I advise you not to think about it, there is no hope…”

Kane shook his head and smiled: “That Miss Helen Candy follows her mother’s surname.”

“Mother’s last name?”

The last lanky, pale young man on the poker table, Bott, wondered, “Could it be that she is a disreputable illegitimate daughter? But her style and scale of travel are not like it…”

“It is indeed an illegitimate daughter, but it is the illegitimate daughter of an earl, and she is very favored.” Kane gave the answer: “This time she brought so many servants and maids, she is going to go Colonial married.”

“Oh, my goddess…” Paul covered his heart exaggeratedly: “I’m so sad… disgusting political marriage!”

“The performance is a little exaggerated.” Aaron took a sip of wine and commented lightly.

“Although it is a political marriage, Miss Candy’s fiancé is carefully selected by the earl. He is a young officer in the colony. It is said that he is handsome, has great military achievements, and is a promising young man.” Kane sighed.

“How did you find out about this kind of news?” Bert asked curiously.

“Miss Candy has too many entourages to fit in the suite. Some of the servants live in the second-class cabin, which happens to be next to me.”

Kane explained the reason with a smile: “But this Miss Candy’s own reputation is not very good. It is said that she is very arrogant and rude, and does not have the demeanor of a real upper class lady… The most important thing is…”

Kane lowered his voice: “It is said that His Excellency the Earl gave a dowry of ten thousand pounds!”

“Ten thousand pounds?”

Paul let out an exclamation, his expression hard to hide his jealousy: “If only I were that fiancé.”

“Then you may have to lose weight first, and then be twenty years younger.” Aaron played the last card: “This wins me.”

“Too cunning.”

“You’re taking the opportunity to get our attention.”

Botter shouted a few words, and finally took out a few silver shillings obediently.

Aaron noticed that although he did not show his envy like Paul did, the eagerness in his eyes could not be hidden.

But people in this era are not ashamed of chasing wealth and power.

‘I just hope he doesn’t think about being a little white face and seduce that illegitimate girl to run away…’

Aaron lit a cigar for himself. It is said that these top-quality golden cigars were rolled out of the thighs by beautiful slave girls in the tobacco plantations of South Indonesia.

But in his view, it is just a gimmick of advertisers.

While swallowing the clouds, Aaron also thought indifferently in his heart:

‘My hunch is right, this ship is about to end…’

‘However, the reason for the sinking is really hard to say. Although the name of that lady Helen Candy is somewhat similar to the real name of the survivor of a certain shipwreck… But I feel that the biggest factor of instability is myself. ‘

‘If I study the ‘Dalmore Charm’ here and attract a large number of giant sea monsters, this ship is definitely finished…’

At this time, Kane’s voice came from his ear: “Here’s the annoying guy, eh? He’s pestering the 10,000-pound lady!”
