Counterfeit Hero

Chapter 147: Volume 3 Chapter 42 Thunderbolt Measures_3

Fatty couldn’t help but secretly laugh at her expression, and said, ”You’re very strong-willed.”

Audrey said angrily, ”What’s it to you?”

Fatty wasn’t angry either, and still smiled faintly, ”But, you as a ship captain seem a bit overwhelmed.”

”What did you say? Who told you that?” Audrey suddenly raised her head, glaring at Fatty with wide phoenix eyes.

Fatty smiled slightly and unhesitatingly betrayed, ”Ivan.”

Audrey’s face changed slightly, trying desperately to appear indifferent, ”What do you want to say?”

Tian Xingjian sighed and said, ”Actually, you don’t have to bother with these people. If my estimation is correct, your father should leave you a large sum of money, enough to start a new life. Why stay here?”

Audrey was silent for a long time, finally turning her head to the side, ”You wouldn’t understand, and you don’t need to understand.”

She stood up, smiled slightly, ”If there’s nothing else, I think I’ll take my leave first. I’ll have someone change your room.”

Tian Xingjian smiled, ”No rush to leave, maybe we can help each other.”

Audrey looked seriously at Fatty, finally sat down gracefully, ”Oh? Do you have any good suggestions?”

Fatty looked at the woman who was clearly young but desperately trying to put on a mature and calm exterior, sneered mercilessly, ”A lamb can’t survive among a Wolf Pack.” Seeing Audrey about to get angry again, Fatty quickly waved his hand, ”I need a ship that can help me transport some things at any time, your ship can do that. I understand what you need, just figure out who you want to replace them with.”

Audrey found that she was always easily angered by this Fatty in front of her, and could never refuse his proposals. What she didn’t know was that this guy was actually a psychology expert, and managing the emotions of a weaker opponent was a very simple task.

Audrey gently frowned and thought for a long time, finally making up her mind. Regardless of what this person’s intentions were, with his skills, he was the best support for her in truly managing this ship. Better short pain than long pain, the unstable elements on the ship should be thoroughly eliminated. She stretched out her slender, white hand, smiling, ”Deal, I hope we have a pleasant cooperation.”

Fatty saw Audrey again appear in her strong woman guise, clumsily grabbed her extended hand, it felt more like snatching something than shaking hands. Audrey tried fiercely to withdraw her hand but couldn’t. Fatty brought his hand to his nose and sniffed lecherously, as if he finally didn’t smell any odor, then formally shook hands.

The most infuriating thing was that after letting go, Fatty took out a piece of cloth and vigorously wiped his hand, then tossed the cloth away carefully, as if it was covered in germs. Then he sat down with a bump on the dusty bed, not feeling dirty at all, looking completely at ease.

”This damn pervert!” Audrey swung her hand in anger and left the room, she couldn’t understand why she, who grew up following her father on a smuggling ship, had always been cold and distant in front of the crew, yet always lost her composure so easily in front of this Fatty.

”Hey, that woman, stop. We haven’t discussed the details yet, where are you going!...”

Furious!

The crew of the Apollo’s Power Cabin were given a gag order by both Ivan and Audrey. On a smuggling ship, the harshest punishment for violating orders was execution. Although Audrey’s authority wasn’t as strong as the old captain’s, the Power Cabin crew still didn’t dare offend Old Ivan, let alone with a perverted Fatty also on board.

The other crew members thought the sudden boost in power was Old Ivan’s doing, and grew more enthusiastic towards the Power Cabin crew. After all, the joy of escaping death was more intense than winning the lottery. Fatty still appeared honest and timid, yet for some reason, whenever the Power Cabin crew saw him, they felt their skin crawl, as if plunged into an ice cellar. Especially after seeing Eric once again kick Fatty out of the dining room for eating too slowly, watching Fatty standing outside the dining room door trembling piteously, the Power Cabin crew felt a chill rise from their hearts.

Audrey appeared at the dining room door, getting into another argument with Eric, and announced in the name of the captain that Eric would be confined for seven days for insubordination. This time, the masks were truly off. Eric sneered, shouting, ”I dare anyone on this ship to confine me!” Audrey acted as if she hadn’t heard, walking away without assigning anyone to execute the order or saying another word, as if her announcement had been an empty remark.

The next morning, when the crew came to the dining room for breakfast, they were all shocked. At the dining room door, Eric was tied up in the classic SM princess style, hanging on the wall, his face bruised and swollen, almost unrecognizable. His eyes were tightly closed, but from his clenched teeth and trembling eyelids, it was clear he wasn’t unconscious, just too ashamed to open his eyes. Hanging on him was a note that read, ”Refuse confinement? Fine, hang for seven days instead.”

When everyone saw Audrey nonchalantly walk past Eric, pushing the door open and going into the dining room for breakfast as if nothing had happened, the crew finally understood, the captain had made her move. No one dared to speak up for Eric, the most dominant person had been dealt with this way, the small fry who usually flattered him immediately scattered. At the dining room door, only Fatty squatted on the ground, holding a big bowl of porridge, blowing on it and sipping it with loud slurps, while watching Eric hanging on the wall with great interest, silly smile on his face.
