Shen Sui looked toward the voice, and saw a very beautiful girl.

"Hello, my name is Louise Amira." The girl smiled at Shen Sui, "I've heard your name from Mr. Theis, it's nice to meet you."

Compared to Fujimoto Kyosuke, Louise left a very good impression on Shen Sui.

Not only because Louise was very poised and graceful, but also because her friendliness to Shen Sui was genuine, coming from the heart.

"By the way." Louise winked at Shen Sui, "I am Cezar's fiancée."

Shen Sui tilted his head: "Cezar, huh, quite a formidable opponent."

"If Cezar heard your evaluation, he would lose his mind." Louise laughed, covering her mouth, "After losing to you, he went into seclusion as soon as he returned home, vowing to defeat you in a competition and redeem himself."

"I'm looking forward to it," Shen Sui said sincerely, though he smiled as he asked Louise, "You just mentioned it's best not to get involved with Fujimoto Kyosuke, is there a particular reason for that?"

Upon hearing the name Fujimoto Kyosuke, Louise instinctively showed a look of disgust: "He's a disgusting man, clearly vile to the core, yet always pretending to be so righteous."

"Vile?" Shen Sui stroked his chin, "Really? But he almost missed the chance to board the ship because he was helping disaster victims."

"That was to avoid paying hefty waste disposal fees." Louise sneered, "The Fujimoto Clan is Japan's largest retail group, with warehouses filled with vast amounts of unsellable expired food. According to Japanese law, handling these expired goods requires paying large disposal fees, whereas if they were donated as disaster relief, no fees would be necessary..."

At this point, Louise winked at Shen Sui: "Plus, you can get tax deductions for donating goods."

"But there's nothing wrong with that, is there? Just because it's expired doesn't mean it's inedible..."

"Don't underestimate capital." Louise raised her chin, "The edible ones have long been consumed through other means. Most of what the Fujimoto Clan donates is inedible, expired four or five years ago stuff."

"Er, how do you know so much detail?"

"Because many newspapers and media outlets from my family take money from the Fujimoto Clan to suppress this news." Louise blinked her cute eyes.

Shen Sui looked speechlessly at Louise.

Louise coughed twice, saying a bit awkwardly: "It's all about making money, as I said, don't underestimate capital."

This did, however, indirectly confirm what Xinyuan Tanchun said: those who could participate in the Pacific Cruise Championship were either rich or powerful heirs; the whole event was just a game for the elite.

Of course, Shen Sui figured that the reason Fujimoto Kyosuke delayed boarding likely wasn't as simple as Louise described; it'd be beneath the heir of the Fujimoto Clan to handle such matters personally.

Nonetheless, Shen Sui's first impression of Louise was quite positive; she may not be purely kind, but she was at least not hypocritical.

Vivian had stopped her "work" the moment Louise appeared, sitting very ladylike across from Shen Sui.

Her gaze occasionally swept over Louise's chest with a certain instinctive dislike.

Louise was very talkative, and before Shen Sui and the other two revealed much information, she had already spilled quite a bit about her background.

Shen Sui then understood why Louise was so definite about Fujimoto Kyosuke's character, as they were classmates in college, and Fujimoto Kyosuke had once pursued Louise.

"So, did you reject Fujimoto Kyosuke because of his character?" Although unrelated to himself, gossip never needed to be about oneself.

Louise shook her head, "No, it's because his dueling skills are too weak."

"Ah, this..."

Louise grinned, raising her fist proudly: "I am to be the woman of the King of Duels!"

"Uh... how does that sentence break down?" Shen Sui was momentarily stunned.

Louise then blinked and repeated it in English.

Shen Sui wiped the sweat from his forehead, indeed it was quite literal.

Louise, however, had no shame in her tone: "What's wrong with admiring strength? It's a primal instinct etched in our genes."

At this point, Louise's gaze fell upon Shen Sui, she said slyly, "Well then, Mr. Shen Sui is much stronger than Cezar."

Saying so, she leaned toward Shen Sui.

Shen Sui smoothly dodged.

Joking aside, Shen Sui was? Could he not resist such temptation?

Though Louise indeed was large.

But if it can't be printed as a card, it's just not doable. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

If you can't hold it, examine it closely, play with it, and sleeve it, how can you be the wife of a Duelist!

"Hmph, in this regard, you're not as interesting as Cezar." Louise pouted, although she intended just as a joke, Shen Sui's unwavering dodge indeed left her quite hurt.

Louise checked the time and prepared to leave.

If she stayed any longer, she'd feel that red-haired woman would kill her.

Shen Sui watched as Louise departed.

"What? Feeling regret?" Vivian leaned closer to Shen Sui's ear, asking softly.

"No, I'm thinking about something else." Shen Sui replied calmly.
