After the first auction ended, Su Nuan asked Chen Yuan to wait on the deck of the ship with the money. After the auction, the pirates would send someone to deliver the auction items. After inspecting the items and finding no problems, they would pay for the items and receive the goods.
Chen Yuan went to the cash box in the cabin to withdraw 2.8 million US dollars, and then took a dozen people to the deck to wait for the pirates to come over with the auction items.
About twenty minutes later, a pirate ship came towards the ship, and the little leader who had checked the invitation letters before got on board.
After getting on the boat, the pirate leader greeted Shen Yuan, then waved to his men behind him to hand the auction items to Shen Yuan's men for inspection.
Among the officers and soldiers who passed through this time, there was an intelligence officer who had specialized in jewelry and antique appraisal. After getting the auction items, he carefully observed and appraised them and found no problems, then nodded to Shen Yuan.
After Shen Yuan received the message that the jewelry and antiques were fine, he spoke to the small leader.
"Sir, there is no problem with the auction item. My daughter has purchased the auction item this time, spending a total of 2.8 million US dollars. The money is ready. Please count it."
After saying that, Shen Yuan pointed to the cash box on the deck and showed it to them.
The pirate leader, along with a few others, walked to the cash box, squatted down to open it, and after a careful inspection, he found nothing amiss. He then signaled his men to count the money together. After more than ten minutes, they finished the counting and found nothing amiss.
The small leader signaled his men to move the cash box to the pirate ship. While his men were moving the cash box, he went forward and started talking to Shen Yuan.
"Mr. John, our boss wants to invite Miss Sophia to dinner. Is Miss Sophia willing?"
Chen Yuan suddenly became alert. If someone showed kindness without any reason, he was either a traitor or a thief. These pirates were extremely vicious people. They talked about having dinner together in a polite way, but who knew if it was a Hongmen Feast? He definitely couldn't agree to it, but he was just an assistant and didn't have the right to make the decision for the master, so he calmed down and replied with a smile.
"Sir, I have received your boss' invitation. I cannot decide whether to attend or not. I need to ask my daughter's wishes. You can go back first and give me a reply after I ask."
"Mr. John, there's no need to bother. You can go and ask your daughter's wishes first. I'll be waiting for her reply here."
Seeing that this little leader would not give up until he achieved his goal, Shen Yuan could only let him wait and go to the room to discuss with Su Nuan first.
"Please wait a moment."
After saying that, Shen Yuan walked towards the room where Su Nuan was resting. When he arrived, he knocked on the door and entered.
"Comrade Su Nuan, the pirate leader James wants to invite you to dinner. What do you think?"
"Oh, dinner together? It seems the character of a wealthy young lady that we created this afternoon was very successful. This James is really a villain who doesn't want to do anything without profit. He just showed off his wealth this afternoon and started testing me."
"I think so too. It's just a Hongmen Feast to test your identity. Do you want to agree?"
"No, I'm a spoiled and willful young lady. An arrogant refusal is more in line with my personality. Attending the banquet will only make things worse."
“Okay, I’ll reply to them right away.”
After knowing Su Nuan's meaning, Shen Yuanbian returned to the deck. The little leader was leaning leisurely on the fence around the deck, looking around lazily.
When he saw Shen Yuan coming, he stood up and waited for Shen Yuan to come over.
"Mr. John, has your daughter accepted our boss's invitation?"
"Sir, I'm sorry. My daughter is tired from the auction this afternoon and is now resting in her room. She won't be attending dinner. Let me apologize to you and your boss. I'll definitely treat you to a feast when you arrive in Country Y someday."
Hearing Shen Yuan's words, the little leader's face suddenly darkened, and he looked at Shen Yuan with a sinister look, his tongue pressed against his cheek.
"Ms. Sophia, you refused to attend. Very good, you are worthy of being a lady of the Spencer family."
Shen Yuan was stared at by the little leader's dangerous eyes, but he was not afraid at all, with no expression on his face, and looked him straight in the eye.
"Yes, our lady is tired and needs to rest. Please go back and tell her."
The little leader said nothing, staring at Chen Yuan with a half-smile, then turned back to the pirate ship and asked them to start the boat.
After watching the pirate ship leave, Chen Yuan immediately issued a task. Now everyone began to enter a state of high alert, especially after the second auction ended, to strengthen patrols and alerts on the ship.
The officers and soldiers who received the task immediately began to prepare, and the number of people patrolling was increased to three shifts.
After the pirate leader returned, he first handed over the money he brought back and then reported to his boss.
"Boss, Miss Sophia refused."
"Rejected? Hahaha, this Sophia is really arrogant. She is so arrogant in my territory. She is indeed a young lady who was raised in love."
"Boss, do you need me to take him up there and teach him a lesson tonight?"
"No, Miss Sophia is our VIP guest. The auction hasn't ended yet, so please don't cause any more trouble."
"Yes, Boss, I understand."
"You go down."
On the other side, although Su Nuan's ship had increased its vigilance, Su Nuan was not too worried in his heart, according to the information Su Nuan had learned about James.
This person is a profit-oriented person. The auction has not ended yet, and I have given him 2.8 million US dollars as a gift from the God of Wealth in this afternoon. If he is not a fool, there is no need for him to provoke me for the sake of his own face. Once something happens to me, not only will the auction be disrupted, but I will also lose the money I gave him as a gift from the God of Wealth, which is not worth the loss. As for whether he will vent his anger on me after the auction is over, it is hard to say.
But even so, Su Nuan is not afraid. In addition to the protection of such elite soldiers around her, she also has a systematic bulletproof vest and intermediate martial arts, so self-protection is no problem at all. Since she is here, she might as well wait and see what happens.
