Chapter 1385 There is a Ship on King Karl Island
Respect for life is a basic human kindness. After hearing Xiao Peng's words, everyone in the room remained silent.
"Boss, you are a kind person." Khedira said.
Everyone nodded in agreement with Khedira's statement.
Hua Chong asked, "Boss, these things you fished out make you so unhappy, so what are you going to do with them?"
Xiao Peng said, "Actually, I was just thinking about this. Thank you for your evaluation of me—your evaluation has made me make up my mind!"
Hua Chong was stunned after hearing this: "Oh? Boss, what are you going to do?"
Xiao Peng said, "A man without integrity cannot stand. After all, this is the information Albrecht gave me. I promised to give him 10% and I must do it. Besides, I won't leave Fabian and Pascal any less, so let's take out all the gold teeth and let them divide them. As for the rest, I've decided to donate them all!"
"Donated?" everyone exclaimed.
Khedira asked: "Boss, are you going to donate these things to the Holocaust Memorial in Israel?"
Xiao Peng's eyes widened as he asked, "You deserve a scolding, don't you?"
"Ah?" Khedira looked at Xiao Peng in confusion.
Xiao Peng said directly, "Of course I'm donating it to 'Xiao Pavilion'! We Daxia people love peace, but now many people have forgotten how much harm war has done to people! Look at Hua Chong and Khedira, you don't understand this period of history, and you don't know how much harm war has done to humanity! So I decided to donate these things to 'Xiao Pavilion' so that the people of Daxia can understand this period of history and love peace and oppose war even more!"
"Puff!" The three people in the room looked at Xiao Peng together.
They didn't know what to say, and everyone was thinking, "Why don't you just say you're going to take everything? You're the boss, you have the final say. Why is there so much drama?"
Xiao Peng rolled his eyes at them. "What are you talking about? What did I do wrong? I do feel sad for the victims, but I don't think I have to spend money to be sad, do I? I didn't kill them, so what did I do wrong? Everyone has good intentions, more or less. I feel sad for someone who has nothing to do with me for so long, so I'm not kind enough."
Everyone looked at each other and decided - whatever you say is what it is, you are the boss and you have the final say!
Hua Chong said, "Boss, what should we do with all the paintings in there? If they were really stolen from the Vatican by Natchi, it would be difficult to just put them on display."
His concerns are not without reason: in fact, there are two "superpowers" in the world, one is the United States, and the other is the Vatican, which is only 0.44 square kilometers in size.
After all, the Vatican is a "holy place" in the hearts of 1.45 billion believers. No matter what denomination they are, as long as they believe in God, they will respect the status of the Vatican: its international influence is even greater than that of the United States!
Xiao Peng thought for a moment and said, "Your concerns are not without reason. Let's let the country make the decision on this matter. Such a major event is not something that small people like you and me can influence. If the exhibition can't be held, I will build a house and use these paintings as wallpaper!"
"Puff!" Everyone gulped again, and this time it felt like blood was about to spurt out! Using world-famous paintings as wallpaper? Ugh, Xiao Peng can really do it!
Xiao Peng said angrily, "You guys are addicted to 'poof' today, right? Come on, keep 'poofing' me. If you don't spit out blood today, I'll hammer you until you bleed."
At this time, Kasin suddenly said: "Boss, I'm sorry!"
Xiao Peng was stunned: "Sorry? Why?"
Kaxin said: "I just let it slip!"
Xiao Peng nodded after hearing this. In fact, he was quite grateful to Kasin for letting the cat out of the bag. Otherwise, he had no idea how to bring up the topic of "Georgia Land Treasure." Kasin's words saved him a lot of trouble. But Kasin's apology was also due. After all, no boss likes a talkative employee.
Xiao Peng thought for a moment and said to Kaxin, "Kaxin, you know my style. 'Fool me once, it's your fault. Fooling me twice, it's mine.' I'll give you one chance to make a mistake, but I won't give you a second chance. You slapped yourself twice today, so that's your punishment. Don't do it again!"
"Boss..." Kasin looked grateful, but Xiao Peng waved his hand and said, "Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's get some rest. We'll talk about it after we get to King Carl Island and avoid the storm."
Hua Chong couldn't hold back his curiosity and asked, "Boss, why are we going to King Carl Island? It's an uninhabited island, right?"
Svalbard and Jan Mayen are located at a lower latitude than Franz Josef Land, but the northernmost cities in the world are in Svalbard and Jan Mayen, not in Franz Josef Land. Svalbard has a city called Longyearbyen, while Franz Josef Land has no city but a few weather stations.
However, the settlements in Svalbard and Jan Mayen are all in the western part of the islands, while the eastern islands are uninhabited due to the harsh climate. King Carl Island is in the west, so no matter how you try to avoid the storm, you should not go to King Carl Island.
After hearing this, Xiao Peng pointed at his nose and said, "The reason is that I'm the boss. Is there still a problem now?"
After hearing this, Hua Chong said directly: "Boss, you should have a good rest! I'm going back to rest too!"
"Well, we're leaving too!" Kassin and Khedira also stood up and said.
Xiao Peng said to Hua Chong, "Go tell Ma Xiao and Chen Cheng to get there as soon as possible while ensuring the safety of the ship!"
"Okay, boss!" Everyone left the room and closed the door, allowing Xiao Peng to rest by himself.
Xiao Peng placed the wine bottles and glasses in the rack, secured them, and then lay down on the bed. This is also an important habit of life on the ship: due to the strong winds and waves at sea, most items need to be reinforced.
Seeing these things today, Xiao Peng was indeed in a bad mood. After all, behind these riches were countless lives. But as Xiao Peng himself said, conscience is a thing of the past. It happened so long ago, and the victims themselves were unknown. A moment of silence is enough to show your respect.
This trip to the Arctic had already taken so long, and they'd even been poisoned along the way, nearly wiping out the entire army. Xiao Peng had been thinking a lot lately, and it was time to think of a way out.
The waves on the sea were quite strong, but for those who were used to it, it felt like they were sleeping in a cradle and were extremely comfortable!
A day later, they left the path of the storm and the wind on the sea was much weaker, but the swells did not decrease much - they had reached the Erik-Erikson Strait, and the swells here were also quite large.
One has to admire the ocean explorers of the past. Now, a large ship like Xiao Peng would be in danger if it came here. It would be basically suicidal for the wooden sailboats of the explorers in the early years to come to such a place.
"Boss!" Ma Xiao hurried over as the ship passed through the Erik-Erikson Strait. "We've...spotted! The AIS shows there's a ship here!"
