Chapter 966 Are you kidding me with our lives?
Liao Jiu and his group were the last to come out. Jiang Lianzhu heard that the captain had given them, a few squad leaders at the seventh level of martial arts, the task of keeping an eye on the green-faced girl and paying attention to her every move.
Just now, Liao Jiu and the others received the order and prepared to come out.
Then another group of people came!
This wave is the VIPs on board.
They rushed onto the deck in anger to find the guards.
"Where's the Captain? Where's Knicks? Come out and give us an explanation!"
"I heard you found traces of a sea monster and wanted to go fight it. You wanted us to die! Isn't that a bit too much?"
"What you said before about a storm ahead and taking a detour is all bullshit! Are you here to look for sea monsters? Are you crazy? Everyone would avoid sea monsters when they see them, so why are you here to look for them? Are you kidding me with our lives?"
…
Now, Jiang Lianzhu can join in and watch the fun openly.
These distinguished guests had no idea how they got the news so quickly!
We had just finished the discussion when so many people came over.
Could it be that the green-faced girl who just left told these people?
Jiang Lianzhu took a quick look and found that the direction of the green-faced girl was opposite to the direction the group of people came from. The green-faced girl did not go upstairs, but went directly to the stern and put her hair down. It was not her.
The remaining ones might be the group that just followed her out, the ones who advocated continuing to sail and fight sea monsters.
Theoretically, they are in favor of continuing to search for sea beasts and will not say anything more, which will cause difficulties in the direction of travel.
However, no one knows what the reasons and motives are behind this.
Another possibility is that there is a very powerful person hidden among the VIPs, with sharp ears and eyes, who, like her, overheard it in the dark and went back to complain.
The noise was too loud and the crowd was very angry.
The guards couldn't stop them, and the VIPs started beating people up.
Most of the VIPs were of distinguished status. Some of them brought servants with them and directly ordered their servants to beat people and break down doors.
It didn't take long for the Knicks to come out.
"Stop it! Our captain is here! Let's talk it out! Whoever does it again will be fined ten times the amount of damage done to the ship!" the first mate shouted!
The VIPs on the deck quieted down their noise, but some still ignored the command and cursed, calling the first mate a bastard.
Knicks looked around with his eagle eyes, and everyone finally fell silent.
His eyes are eye-catching.
"You can raise any demands you have, but as for changing the ship's direction or stopping it, that's impossible! On my ship, the Knicks, my word is final. There's no room for negotiation."
It would have been better if he hadn't said anything, but when he did, everyone became angry again.
"Nix, are you planning to take everyone on our ship with you? You're just a small captain, don't act so arrogant in front of us!"
"Do you know who my father is? Who is my maternal grandfather? Return home immediately. I need to attend my maternal grandfather's 70th birthday. You can't afford the consequences if you delay."
"Be careful! After we get ashore, we'll go to the shipyard and complain to you! For a shipyard as large as the Hope, a national team, to act like this is absolutely ridiculous!"
"If you don't return to your course, I'll jump into the sea! I don't want to be eaten by a sea monster!"
…
Knicks didn't say anything either, his eagle eyes were bright and sharp.
After everyone had grumbled enough, he continued, "You are all distinguished, and I've heard all about this. So, the Hope won't change course. If you don't want to stay with the ship, I have a compromise. I'll arrange small boats for you, ten people to a boat, and you can row as many boats as you like! The Hope will continue on its journey."
Someone angrily asked, "Why did you change course? The storm ahead was fake. You were trying to trick us, right? What's your real purpose? Are you looking for the Good Luck?"
Nix's expression remained calm. "My real purpose has nothing to do with you. Once you're ashore, you can sue me, sue the Portuguese shipping company, whatever you want! Anyway, the Hope won't change its course. You can leave if you want, or stay if you want. Think it over. I only have half an hour to make your plans."
This unreasonable, arrogant and illogical look makes people angry and helpless.
Someone else raised the question, "Okay! Give us a boat! We can go back! But who will row the boat? Will you send a strong sailor from your ship to row for us? Otherwise, how will we have the strength to row out in this vast ocean?"
Nix replied coldly, "No! The sailors and guards on the Hope are nervous. If you want to leave, you can take turns rowing. If that doesn't work, you can go to the pauper's warehouse and hire strong paupers to row for you."
When the distinguished guests heard this, they all gritted their teeth.
This damn Knicks is really confident!
Speaking so blatantly showed that he was not worried at all about everyone knowing the purpose of the Hope's voyage, and he did not take anyone seriously.
Domineering and self-willed!
But what he said has some merits.
If the ship doesn't send Popeye to row the boat for them, they can just find people from the poor warehouse to do hard labor, which will work.
As long as these poor people have money, everything is easy to deal with!
The crowd came in with great momentum, but was stopped by Knicks with just a few words.
Some people took advantage of their servants and wanted to beat up Nix, but Nix was surrounded by heavy guards, the lowest of whom were at the sixth level of martial artist, and could not get close to him at all.
I can only swallow my anger and let it go.
After careful consideration, the distinguished guests finally split into two groups.
One group advocated staying on the boat, hoping that the damn Knys would encounter a sea beast, kill it, and then bring them back to shore safely.
Because the risks of a small boat at sea are also extremely high. Not to mention whether there is a possibility of encountering a storm, once a storm occurs, the probability of the boat sinking is almost 100%. Just rowing and keeping the direction is also quite difficult. If the wind direction is not good, the boat will only be pushed farther and farther away. This is a deep sea area!
The other faction was the Radicals. They were furious and didn't want to stay on the ship for a moment. They cursed Knicks, the Hope, and the Portuguese shipping company. They wanted to get off the ship immediately and return to the nearest shore, regardless of anything. They were willing to do anything, even spending money to hire experienced strongmen.
…
In the noisy crowd, Jiang Lianzhu and Liao Jiu looked at each other.
Liao Jiu was very busy at this time, busy maintaining law and order.
Jiang Lianzhu also found the two helpers sent by the Lin family among the VIPs. Naturally, they were the ones who advocated staying on the ship.
There were too many people and Liao Jiu was too busy, so Jiang Lianzhu didn't talk to him.
She went back to the poorhouse first.
Because a small steward has already gone to the Poor People's Warehouse to find laborers for the VIPs who insisted on leaving.
