Noon, on deck.

The sky is blue, dotted with white clouds.

Heidi took two sandwiches from the staff cafeteria, and she and Leosley each had one, and they sat on the floor, eating and chatting in the breeze.

"Try the staff meal. How does it compare to the one in Mello Petersburg?" Heidi asked with a smile.

"It tastes good, and the scenery here is even better." Leosli took a bite and looked at the blue sky and sea, feeling happy. "As a waiter, you are taking guests to eat free employee meals, but what you are doing is contrary to the original intention of the ship owner."

"Everything costs money on the ship. If he continues to spend so extravagantly, I'm worried that the Duke will become a poor man when he gets off the ship." Heidi looked distressed.

"Haha, then I am the luckiest guest. I found someone who can save money for me. The ship owner gets half and you get the other half. Mora's long legs can run into your piggy bank. Isn't that good?" Leosley looked at Heidi. "Where is the little money-grubber?"

"I am a money-grubber with principles. You are here to catch bad guys, so how can I covet your small change?" Heidi said righteously, and then with satisfaction. "My own piggy bank is like a greedy cat, and Mora is like its cat food. The Duke has already let it eat too much in one go, and its appetite has expanded. It will probably never be full if it follows me in the future. I don't want to hear it complain about its master."

"Hmm, a vivid metaphor." Leosley looked at the sea in the distance, "It would be nice if I could keep this cat."

"Hey, I'll throw it to you. I'll come grab some cat food when I have nothing else to do."

"You're also going to steal cat food? Are you a cat too?"

"Meow, meow." Heidi pretended to be a cat.

Leosley smiled but said nothing.

After dinner, Heidi took out a small notebook and said, "Here, this is the skill I have now. Can you see if I can use it to get information?"

"I won't explain the origins of the skills. Just treat them as a deck and see how they work."

Leosley is trustworthy, so it's okay to tell him these skills.

When he and I had used our skills before to rescue the kids, he could believe that he was telling the truth.

The most important thing is that this time we are not fighting monsters, so these skills may need to be used in coordination.

Let's just bring it up for discussion.

Leosli was stunned for a moment, then took the notebook, on which more than a dozen skills were carefully written.

He had seen Heidi use skills, so he didn't find it strange, nor was he curious about how she learned it.

I just felt very touched. These skills are rare. If I tell her about them, it's like writing my huge wealth on my face. It will attract people's covetousness and exploitation. So from this perspective, I am someone she can trust.

As he watched Heidi waiting quietly, he felt even more pity for her.

Because he knew that all the strength had a price. With her character of trying her best, she would always be on the road, and she could never predict what would happen tomorrow...

There is only so much I can do. When I am with her, I can only do my best to protect her...

He looked at the skill card carefully and made a plan for the next step.

……

The first thing Leosley did was to capture the scarred man.

When the scarred man was caught, he was still playing games in the bar. The Duke punched him and almost made him faint. He was then carried back to the room.

After a brief interrogation, he confessed everything, including the port explosion and the gunpowder transfer issue.

Finally, as for the two bombs, I only knew that they were miniature bombs that the old man had bought at a high price in Zhidong. They were very small, like two pills. I was only responsible for the handover, and the specific placement was arranged by the old man himself. I only knew that they could be controlled remotely.

……

The two found the old man in the arena. Leosli was responsible for chatting with him, while Heidi was responsible for using [Brain Detection]: it could read the brain map of the corresponding target so as to better respond to their actions.

"Let's talk." Leosli sat down next to the old man and said while looking at the arena below the stage.

"Oh, Your Excellency the Duke, do you want to discuss cooperation with me?" the old man asked with a smile.

"Well, it's a big order from Melo Petersburg, but I want to talk to you at the gambling table," Leosley said.

"My Lord Duke, I'm so sorry to spoil your fun. I won't leave the gambling table. This is my principle." The old man smiled and said, "Let Mok gamble with you."

"Hey, principles are meant to be broken. Not going to the gambling table simply means you're not interested in gambling. I have a piece of news here that I guarantee you'll be interested in." Leosli took out a flyer for the Fontaine Restaurant and handed it to the old man.

The old man realized at a glance that it was his plan to blow up the port. He wondered whether the plan had failed or whether he was deliberately testing the waters, after all, the news was slow in coming.

"Your Excellency the Duke, would you like to treat me to a meal? Unfortunately, the food in this restaurant is not to my taste."

"Hey, I specially intercepted this message, and it was almost sent to Mo Mang Palace. It seems that you are not sincere." Leosli sighed.

"What does this mean?" asked the old man.

"I can only say that I'm not Mo Mang Palace and have no interest in investigating cases. Money and women are the good things." After saying that, Leosli deliberately glanced at Heidi who was sitting not far away and smiled.

The old man should have understood, "It seems that she served well."

"I also want to thank your people for the Fengda, it's a good trick." Leosli chuckled, "To some extent, we are the same kind of people. It's just like chasing a woman. As long as you get her, who cares about the means."

"It's the same principle when it comes to making money. It's very difficult to move up to the next level. We are in a rare upstream and downstream relationship and need to support each other."

The old man nodded and smiled, handing over a cigar, "Your Excellency the Duke is very profound, and the conversation was very sincere. I wonder how you want me to repay you for helping me?"

Since Leosli has a close relationship with Momang Palace and can grasp the latest developments, and this guy likes money and women, cooperation is a safe and good way to go.

Let’s make money together.

"That depends on your sincerity." Leosli took the cigar.

"When it comes to doing business, I am definitely sincere. If this deal is successful, I will definitely prepare a big gift and come to your house to express my gratitude." The old man enthusiastically helped light a cigarette.

Leosley took a sip and leaned back in his chair with a slightly arrogant look on his face. "Business alone is not enough. I need to know the location of the remaining two bombs."

The old man was startled and looked around, as if looking for someone.

"No need to look for him. I've already caught that lackey. I hate it most when people stare at me, especially when there are women around." Leosley had a look of disgust on his face, not acting at all.

"Okay. But this is my bargaining chip, so I can't speak directly." Seeing that the other party had revealed his cards, the old man decided to reveal his own cards as well.

"You old man still has reservations. Fine, since we are going to be partners in the future, you should at least tell me the functions of these two bombs."

"Of course it's a backup plan in case of a failed port explosion."

"It seems that explosion is the only way for you to make a fortune. You must remember the exact location. Don't let yourself be discovered like this time. Your subordinates are unreliable." Leosli deliberately reminded.

"Yes, since the position is not provided, to show my sincerity, I am willing to make an exception and discuss the business cooperation at the gambling table." The old man said sincerely, and everyone took a step back.

"Okay, then I'll send someone to notify you tomorrow. See you at the casino." After saying that, Leosli got up and left.
