At this moment, Xia Ye was at least 90% sure:
"Ocean Ship Charter" must have received the news in advance.
More specifically: "Oceanship Charter" has somehow learned in advance that the Moby-Dick has successfully caught a beluga whale.
And this is why they want to kill Chris at all costs.
Because, although Moby-Dick is owned by "Ocean Ship Charter", the person who cooperates with Xia Ye is Chris. What's worse is that Chris is on the opposite side of the "Ocean Ship Charter" senior management. The benefits of the Bidick's successful whaling will go to Chris, not to the "ship charter", let alone the company's senior management.
Perhaps, the executives of "Ocean Shipping Leasing" have already guessed what will happen next: Xia Ye, who has a large amount of money in hand, will reversely acquire the "Ocean Shipping Leasing" that is in crisis and become their new shareholder. , and then appointed Chris as the new person in charge. By then, the fate of these old executives will be clear.
However, from their perspective, they still have a way to break the situation:
Kill Chris first, and then seek cooperation with Xia Ye.
Because Chris is on the opposite side of them, it doesn't mean that Xia Ye is also on the opposite side of them, and the relationship between Chris and Xia Ye is only based on cooperation in interests.
As long as Chris is killed, Xia Ye can only choose them to handle the "ship leasing" affairs. They can provide everything Chris can provide, from specially customized whaling ships to all the technologies owned by the company. , they can even give up part of their shares for free, as long as Xia Ye promises to keep their positions.
Of course, in addition to this, the other party may want to kill Chris for another reason.
That is, in addition to the financial hole that Chris dug this time, the company has more holes, and as long as she is killed, all the problems can be pushed to this dead man.
But even so, it does not affect the final result. As long as these executives have not broken the pot to the point where Moore does not make any money, sit back and watch the company go bankrupt, and let the dead Chris bear all the charges, they will still find Xia Ye, seeking future cooperation.
interesting.
Xia Ye thought to herself, she didn't expect that witches in this world would also play this trick.
If they had let Chris die earlier, then she might really have accepted the other party's offer of cooperation, because that would be the option that best served her interests.
But now, since Chris is not dead yet, he will not change the partner of cooperation easily.
After all - I, Lady Natsuye, am a kind-hearted witch who values promises~
With a plan in mind, Xia Ye said to Susha above her:
"Tell Chris: I understand. Just save your own life and wait for me to come back."
"that's all?"
"That's it. After this sentence is passed, you can go to bed."
"All right……"
For some reason, Su Sha's tone was a little hesitant.
But it still sent the message, and then the flower retracted into its head, returned along the original path of the throat, and returned to the cup to sleep.
…
"She said: 'I understand, you save your own life and wait for me to come back'."
The girl sitting on the sofa suddenly opened her crimson eyes.
This is a rental house in Lillian, and it is now being used as a safe house by everyone. Since arriving here, Chris has not been attacked again.
But there are various signs that the other party has tracked the area nearby, and maybe in another day, or even half a day, the place will be exposed.
"That's it?" Chris didn't expect Xia Ye's reply to be so simple. "Didn't she say anything else? For example, why would someone want to kill me?"
"No," Susha said. "After thinking for a while, she just asked me to convey this sentence."
"Based on what I know about Xia Ye, she should have thought of something, which is probably the answer to the question you want to ask." Luka said to Chris: "But she should have her own plans, and she has not yet told us When I say that, I just want you to protect yourself first."
"I can only understand it this way..." Chris nodded, "Luca, how long do you think we can stay here?"
"I suggest moving this afternoon, the sooner the better."
"Um... do you want everyone to have a meal first? It's already noon. I made fried four-winged roc pork with flame fruit today. It tastes very good." Lilian came over wearing an apron.
"Okay." Susha was the first to go to the dining table.
"It seems that Sister Susha really likes to eat the food cooked by Lilian." Chris smiled.
"No, no! But, the taste is really... quite good..."
"Sister Susha, didn't you say you wanted to eat spicy food yesterday? So I specially made this dish today, come and try it." Lilian also said to Susha with a smile.
Probably because of her petite figure, "Sister Susha" has become the unified name for Susha in the past few days.
"Hey, really?"
When she heard the spicy food, Susha's eyes lit up obviously, but then she returned to her expressionless look.
"Thank you..." she whispered to Lillian.
"Um...Lillian..." There was a rare hesitation on Luka's face.
"What's wrong, Luca?"
"That dish...will it be very spicy?"
"Are you okay... Hey, are you afraid of spicy food, Luca?" Lilian asked in surprise.
She always thought that people like Luka, who rarely frowned even when injured, were definitely very capable of eating spicy food.
But the next second, she saw Luka nodded sheepishly.
"Well, don't worry, it won't be very spicy...probably." Lilian said with some guilt.
Luka said "Oh" doubtfully.
…
"Woo-water, give me water quickly..."
Luka stuck out her red little tongue, and her whole body was about to burn.
"Ah, here..."
"Gurgling, gurgling, gurgling..."
"Oh, you are so fragile. It doesn't work like this. It's obviously not spicy at all..."
While admiring the way Luka was being filled with water, Susa put the flame fruit into her mouth and ate it without changing her expression.
"Sister Susha, you actually ate the flame fruit directly..." Chris looked at her speechlessly.
"Hey, what's wrong?"
"That one is used to add spiciness to the meat. If you eat it directly, won't it feel spicy?"
"No, I think this tastes very good, better than meat." Susha said, then picked up another flame fruit with a fork and put it into his mouth.
"..."
…
Xia Ye walked into the cab and came to Yaha's side.
"Didn't you go to dinner?" Yaha asked, raising his head from the chart table.
"I didn't go. I'm tired of eating whale meat every day." Xia Ye complained.
Yaha smiled: "It's like this on a whaling ship, so after returning to Debsota, everyone usually goes to eat and drink. What do you want from me?"
"I would like to ask, is there a way to communicate with Debsotta on the etheric sea, such as where we are now?"
"As far as I know, there is none. The communication function of the crystal ball relies on Debsotta's magic network, which will definitely not be used on the etheric sea. As for contracts with similar functions, the communication distance is generally difficult to exceed 1,000 kilometers, but we are now This location is a full 10,000 to 20,000 kilometers away from Debso Tower." Yaha explained.
"Um……"
Xia Ye nodded slightly.
According to her original guess, there was someone from the "Ocean Ship Charter" among the crew of the Moby Dick, and it was this person who sent the news of the capture of the beluga back to the "Oval Ship Charter" in advance.
But according to Yahab, this kind of thing cannot be done.
So how do you know about "Ocean Boat Charter"?
She put this question aside for the first time and continued to say to Yaha: "When there are about 2,000 nautical miles left from Debsota, please remind me that I need to take a step first."
"Take the first step?"
"Yes, I am going to fly back to Debso Tower with my wings and Xiuji first. When the time comes, I will also need you to slow down a bit and ensure that you will drag the beluga into the harbor about one day after I arrive at Debso Tower."
