Chapter 467 Thank You For Your Love
Captain Tado was furious, his fists clenched tightly.
He looked at the plump Xia Yan before him, anger surging in his heart.
Tado slapped Xia Yan across the face with a "smack." With a "crunch" and a "crack," Xia Yan's head spun three hundred and sixty degrees, and he died on the spot. Kanchu La
Tado kicked Xia Yan's corpse away and said coldly, "Useless trash, what good are you? I was counting on you to swindle all the money from Lin Xichen's bank account, but you're not even as good as a nanny."
"Next, listen to my orders. Everyone gather in the main hall on the first floor. All crew members on the ship, arm yourselves, and form groups of five to supervise each other as you search the entire ship."
Tado's voice was sharp and cold. He was the captain of this ship, with hundreds of men under his command and abundant weaponry. Furthermore, Tado himself was a Grand Circulation realm master. Although he didn't often engage in combat, when he did, he was an invincible force.
Tado swept his gaze across the ship. Although there were other Grand Circulation realm masters on board, Tado was not afraid of them at all.
Tado spoke, his voice booming throughout the ship, "Miss Lin, I am Captain Tado. I know you can hear me. I hope you will voluntarily hand over the sandalwood box to me. Rest assured, I have no interest in your life."
"Moreover, your father is a Grandmaster, and I do not wish to make an enemy of him. Therefore, as long as you obediently hand over the sandalwood box, I, Tado, am willing to give you twenty billion."
"And I will compensate the two bodyguards with death benefits. I, Tado, keep my word. Everyone on this ship can bear witness. As long as you obediently come out, you will remain our little princess on this ship. How about it?"
Tado's voice carried far and wide, and everyone on the ship exchanged surprised glances.
Inside the ventilation duct, Lin Xichen's ears perked up. She suddenly sat upright, her brows furrowed. Then, Lin Xichen said to Chen Yang, "Chen Yang, he... he's lying to us, right?"
Chen Yang smiled gently and replied to Lin Xichen, "Whether he's lying to you or not, I don't know. Perhaps he genuinely only wants the sandalwood box. As long as he gets the sandalwood box, he can indeed give you a lot of money." KANShu Wu.XA
"Of course, it's also possible that he's trying to trick you into coming out, and once you're out, he'll eliminate both of us to prevent future trouble. At that point, even if your father came, he could claim you fell into the sea. In short, there would be no evidence."
Lin Xichen nodded and said, "I won't believe him. We'll hide here."
Chen Yang just smiled and nodded, "Alright, we can hide here. But, can you stop hugging me? Don't forget you're not wearing any clothes right now, and I'm a normal man."
Lin Xichen blushed at his words. She chuckled softly, lowered her head, and said, "No, no, if I don't hug you, I won't feel safe. In any case, you can't do anything bad to me. However, I will allow you to touch me a little."
Chen Yang was speechless. Being said to like that by the woman, he felt even more embarrassed to make a move.
At this moment, the entire cruise ship was noisy. Everyone had gathered in the main hall on the first floor, packed together.
Captain Tado narrowed his eyes and picked up the broadcast again, speaking loudly throughout the ship, "Miss Lin, I believe you are well aware that the jade pendant in the sandalwood box is of no use to you. Obtaining it merely gets you a useless antique."
"Hand it over to me, and you can save your life and obtain immense wealth. From now on, whether it's this cruise ship or your journey to Europe, I will arrange for dedicated personnel to serve you, allowing you to enjoy queen-like treatment."
"All of this is yours, simply by walking out and handing over the sandalwood box. What are you hesitating for?"
"As for your makeup artist or nanny, you can also bring your young lady out. I believe you also yearn for success and wealth, right?"
"You are capable, a handsome young man with deep insight into antiques. We all admire you. As long as you bring Miss Lin out, you can obtain billions in wealth and glory. From a bottom-rung nanny to someone above billions, this opportunity is right before you. Mr. Chen, please cherish it."
After Captain Tado finished speaking, he put down the megaphone.
His eyes narrowed, sharp and cold. He lowered his head and instructed the person next to him, "Quick, everyone assemble at the bottom of the ship immediately. No one is allowed to linger in their rooms."
"Furthermore, the ship will immediately stop sailing. I don't care if they are hiding on the ship or have jumped into the sea. In short, alive or dead, I must have the sandalwood box on them. The ship will not resume sailing until they are found."
The people below, upon hearing Captain Tado's orders, immediately ran to the control room and brought the ship to a halt.
All the guests gathered in the main hall on the first floor.
The crew members checked everyone's bodies to see if they were hiding the sandalwood box.
Teams of crew members searched all the guest cabins on the entire ship.
At the same time, the hidden martial artists on the ship were also unwilling to submit to Tado's orders. Some of these martial artists were even from the Black Dragon Pavilion. They were also quickly searching the entire ship, not missing a single corner.
In an instant, killing intent filled the ship, and the atmosphere became extremely tense.
In the ventilation shaft, Lin Xichen felt the ship stop. She looked outside in panic, then quietly asked Chen Yang, "Chen Yang, can we... can we really get away with this? What if they find us?"
Chen Yang replied casually, "Find us? That would be their bad luck. If they find us, then I'll just kill everyone who comes to catch you."
Lin Xichen was stunned and looked at Chen Yang in disbelief.
Chen Yang shrugged his shoulders and asked, "What? Do you pity them?"
Lin Xichen immediately shook her head. She said emotionally, "No, I'm just moved by your love. You're willing to go against everyone on the ship for me. I... I'm really touched, Chen Yang, thank you."
As she spoke, Lin Xichen tightly hugged Chen Yang's arm.
The blanket slipped off, but Lin Xichen didn't care.
Chen Yang was speechless. He had only spoken the truth, yet this girl was shedding tears of gratitude.
Hundreds of people on the ship, whether they were crew members or martial artists, with anger, greed, and excited flames, searched everywhere, leaving no stone unturned.
Even in this turbulent weather, many people ignored the wind, rain, thunder, and lightning outside. They rushed to the deck, to the outer edges of the ship, meticulously inspecting every part of the vessel.
Some people directly took lifeboats and jumped into the sea.
They searched the sea around the ship, looking to see if Chen Yang and Lin Xichen had jumped into the water to escape.
Everyone, like a pack of starving wolves, searched in the darkness for the food they yearned for.
