Chapter 135 Searching for Sixgill Sharks
Xiao Peng really feels great that Fabian is back.
"He's really good at talking nonsense!" Xiao Peng whispered to Pascal beside him.
Pascal replied, "If you've been neglected and ignored since childhood, there are only two outcomes for you: one is to be unwilling to communicate like me, and the other is to be smooth-talking like Fabian. Don't worry about it. Just pretend you don't understand the language and let him handle it."
Xiao Peng nodded.
The two of them stood aside as Fabian angrily declared, "Dear friends from the media, I can't believe that in the 21st century, there's still such a thing as 'recovering marriages' in Italy. If Mr. Xiao hadn't been there that night, this bad practice could have killed one of your compatriots! You're all well-informed media professionals. You should know about the Marseilles shipwreck, where Mr. Xiao saved dozens of lives. The French call it 'dancing with sharks,' and he's one of the best swimmers in the world!"
The flash lights flickered towards Xiao Peng and Pascal.
Fabian continued, "But such a good man almost died in Sicily!" He took out a bag from the car and said, "In Ms. Bellucci's house, a group of thugs actually threatened his life! This is their weapon!"
He is also changing the concept.
At that time, Cesar and the others had clearly pointed their guns at Valerie, but now they were pointed at them. He had not forgotten what he had said, and he would help Bellucci and her daughter solve their problems.
There was a cry of surprise when Fabian took out the gun.
"Mr. Cousteau," a reporter asked Fabian, "You said that criminals threatened you with so many weapons. How did you get all these weapons?"
Fabian pointed at Xiao Peng and said, "Mr. Xiao is from China. He's a Kung Fu master! You know Kung Fu, right? Ada Ada!"
Xiao Peng's face was filled with anguish. Kung Fu? You actually thought of that!
However, it must be said that Fabian's explanation was very "reasonable" and the reporters all believed him.
And Fabian gave them a big problem.
They are both Sicilians, and although this type of 'recovery marriage' is no longer legal, it is not an isolated case in Sicily!
The problem is: family disgrace should not be made public. If such a scandal is handled behind closed doors, it is not a scandal, but if it spreads outside, it becomes a real scandal!
Especially since Fabian and the others were all French! What was the French like? They loved to make a big deal out of nothing and were incredibly sharp-tongued! They could all imagine the impact this would have on Sicily and even Italy!
They wanted to strangle Cesar to death!
People instinctively sympathize with the weak: On one side, there's the orphan and the widow, Bellucci raising their daughter independently, and Valerie working hard to get into the University of Milan. And on the other side? Cesar, who spent seven years in prison for rape. It's obvious who to root for!
Xiao Peng couldn't stand Fabian's nonsense any longer. He said goodbye to Fabian and Pascal and sailed away. Although he had saved the man, no reporter tried to stop him. They were now thinking about how to stop Fabian from talking.
Perhaps this is also related to the arrogance of white people: although Sicily is a country of great ethnic integration and has been ruled by various empires for more than two thousand years, all of these empires were almost all white people around the Mediterranean.
Even with the influx of black refugees in recent years, there are still many white people in Sicily.
There is an interesting situation here: although the first stop for refugees entering Europe is either Greece or Italy, both sides dislike each other: refugees do not want to stay in Italy or Greece, and these two countries do not want refugees to stay here and hope to let them go to other European countries.
However, there is a procedural issue: these two countries must certify the refugees' identities. Refugees caught in other countries without accreditation will be deported. However, if their refugee status is confirmed and no other European country accepts them, these confirmed refugees will have to stay in these two countries.
Compared to the high-welfare states of Northern Europe, neither Italy nor Greece is a good choice for refugees. Consequently, they resent each other, and both countries are extremely slow in verifying refugee status. Refugees in reception centers complain about the slow process and want to leave both countries.
When they arrive in Italy, they will choose to go to mainland Italy instead of the relatively poor Sicily. The most common dark-skinned immigrants in Sicily are Indians.
They say you can see Chinese people everywhere, but this is even more true of Indians, especially in Sicily. Indians are everywhere on the streets of Palermo, and if you're in a crowded area, you might think you've wandered into India. However, anthropologically speaking, Indians are Aryans, meaning they're white. Therefore, the proportion of white people in Sicily is quite high!
The arrogance inherent in the white people made them unwilling to waste any more time on Xiao Peng, and Xiao Peng was happy to see this situation. He was now anxious to go to the west of the Strait of Messina where it met the Tyrrhenian Sea to look for the sixgill shark.
For sixgill sharks, the temperature of the sea surface is not the living environment they are accustomed to.
A big reason they prefer the deep sea is because they love cold water. The deep sea temperatures they inhabit range from 0 to 4 degrees Celsius—close to freezing but not freezing. Furthermore, the water density at this temperature is the highest. They've adapted to the conditions there, and finding the surface is unpleasant. It's like someone who's been living on the plains and suddenly moved to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.
What Xiao Peng is afraid of now is that the sixgill shark will return to the deep sea, otherwise his excitement will be in vain!
He traveled all the way north, but he was exhausted. When he found the sixgill shark, he was terrified! Where the hell did this giant come from?
However, when he saw that the sixgill shark had no intention of attacking him, and that although it was big enough, it was slow, 'Nightingale' began to show off again, as if to say: I was here first, so I am the boss!
Xiao Peng just found this scene funny. A big sixgill shark can knock you away with just one hit on the head, okay?
After finding the sixgill shark, Xiao Peng felt relieved. He turned his boat around and headed south to the area designated by Moreau in the Strait of Tunisia, and began to concentrate on searching for the merchant ship called "Pescara".
The area circled by Moro was so large that Xiao Peng didn't know where to start.
It would be great if I could let Nightingale and Xiaoliuzi search for the shipwreck on their own. If they find it and let me know, that would save me a lot of trouble! I'll feed them and see if I can figure out how to get them to do the work for me!
"Huh?" Xiao Peng frowned as he opened the food box prepared for the sharks. How did my giant squid become like this?
