Unstoppable Crushing: Starting from Adding Points in Dreams-Chapter 368 - 212 Waiting for a Rabbit, Adler
Chapter 368: Chapter 212 Waiting for a Rabbit, Adler
"So envious..."
On the street, watching the black car disappear into the distance.
Many passersby sighed, and a boy named Trin was also filled with envy.
"Who is he?" Chen Feng asked.
"Descendant of Duke Charles, owner of Sack Factory..."
The boy seemed to recite a list of titles as a reflex, but Chen Feng didn’t care, just watching the direction the black car went.
The black chimneys continued to spew gray smoke, and the sky turned a gray dome, as if it wanted to swallow everyone’s health.
A thought flashed by, but soon, a surprised voice suddenly rang out.
"Lord Feng Chen!"
A burly man, holding a little girl, walked out from the front of the row of townhouses in a familiar voice.
The fabric of his inner shirt revealed a hairy chest, and he wore a jacket over it.
A thick beard, short, slightly curly brown hair.
Perhaps because of years spent at sea, the figure in his early thirties looked nearly forty.
"It’s Lord Lei Long!!"
The boy named Trin shouted excitedly, and Lei Long then noticed him.
He nodded slightly and quickly walked over with the little girl.
"Lord Feng Chen, when did you arrive?"
The last farewell left him both surprised and uncertain, thinking only that this lord was mysterious and enigmatic, not daring to show any disrespect.
"Just arrived not long ago."
Chen Feng smiled slightly, while Trin widened his eyes in shock.
Even Lord Lei Long calls him lord?
Then shouldn’t I call him Lord Lord Lord!
Unaware of what he was thinking, Lei Long quickly and respectfully invited Chen Feng to come to his house to rest.
At the same time, he introduced the little girl he was holding.
Pale yellow curls, fair skin, wearing a small white sweater, large bright eyes.
She looked about five or six years old, without the thoughts and surprise of adults, just curiously watching Chen Feng, her eyes blinking.
"Lord Feng Chen, this is my daughter, Antti."
"Antti, quickly call...."
Lei Long paused in his words, seeming unsure what to call him.
"Uncle."
The little girl named Antti softly spoke, her voice tender.
Nodding with a smile, Chen Feng did not refuse.
Then, as he was about to enter the Lei Long’s house, he patted the boy next to him on the shoulder.
"His name is Trin, and thanks to him, I found my way."
The boy Trin shivered, his face reddening with excitement.
Lei Long snapped back to reality, roughly understanding the meaning, and took out copper coins from his pocket.
"No, I can’t take it!"
Perhaps too excited, Trin seemed at a loss.
Lei Long smiled and rubbed his head, stuffed more than ten copper coins into his pocket, and then led Chen Feng inside the row of townhouses.
The iron fence separated the street, white-painted stone pillars, albeit a bit dusty.
Red brick walls, a small garden, followed by wooden stairs of four or five steps, leading to the door.
A middle-aged woman with brown eyes and wearing a sweater was at home.
Named Susan, she was Lei Long’s wife.
There were also two middle-aged maids, one responsible for laundry and cleaning chores, the other taking care of little Antti.
Lei Long took the initiative to introduce them, instructing the maid to brew coffee, and then walked with Chen Feng to the study.
"Lord Feng Chen, you left so suddenly last time, I’ve been keeping this ring."
"Now it’s time to return it to its owner."
Lei Long closed the study door properly, took out a ring from the drawer.
It had a shark pattern, precisely a reward for defeating that pirate, Giant Shark - Tiger.
It could be exchanged for thirty-five thousand gold coins in any city in the Steel Kingdom.
Chen Feng had somewhat forgotten about this matter, but still appreciated his sincerity.
He already had a rough understanding of this world, and thirty-five thousand gold coins was a huge sum, even if Lei Long had been at sea for years, adding up all his assets, including his fleet, might not reach that amount.
"You handle it for me."
Chen Feng didn’t take it back, planning to let Lei Long deal with the bounty for the ring.
After all, he wasn’t familiar with Banli Port and didn’t know the procedure.
"Ah?"
Lei Long was taken aback at first, but quickly reacted, feeling immensely honored.
This was the bounty of a Fourth Rank pirate; if he claimed it, it would surely elevate his status.
However....
A thought flashed through, and he hesitated slightly.
"Go ahead." Chen Feng signaled him to speak freely.
"Lord Feng Chen, do you think we can wait a bit before claiming this bounty?"
"Oh?" frёeωebɳovel.com
"I meant no disrespect, it’s like this, Lord Feng Chen."
Lei Long worried about being misunderstood or disliked, quickly explaining: "The Blood Sea Admiral has been very active lately in the nearby waters. Duke Charles has sailed out several times but still couldn’t drive him away."
"I worry that claiming this bounty now might result in being targeted by the Blood Sea Admiral’s fleet on the next sea voyage..."
He expressed his concerns, and Chen Feng pondered for a moment but wasn’t upset.
"Okay."
He wasn’t urgently in need of money in this realm right now; instead, he needed Lei Long to help gather information and save the mermaid in the future, sending her back to Fisherman’s Bay in exchange for the Blue Heart Stone.
Thus, the consideration was not without reason.
"What about your crew?"
Chen Feng asked curiously, as he hadn’t seen any of them near the port earlier.
"I’ve let them go back and rest for a while."
Lei Long’s tone became serious as he said truthfully: "Moreover, Lord Feng Chen, don’t worry, I’ve instructed them not to disclose anything about Fisherman’s Bay."
He was well aware that those who dared to hunt mermaids must have powerful connections behind them.
At least, Lei Long knew he couldn’t afford to provoke them.
"Hmm."
Chen Feng nodded, indeed a bit surprised.
He hadn’t expected Lei Long to appear so rough but be meticulous and cautious.
