"For example, Blazing Danitz seemed to have been a maid for an adventurer. Don't you think it would be interesting to write this into a book?"
Danitz: …
Interesting my foot! What's so interesting about this kind of thing?!
If looks could kill, Danitz felt that at this moment, the fellow in front of him would surely be stabbed through by him.
In fact, for a split second, Danitz did indeed have the thought of killing to silence him and destroying the evidence, but he was not a proper pirate after all, let alone an evil person, so he naturally wouldn't actually kill someone over such a small matter.
After that momentary impulsive thought, the killing intent in Danitz's heart dissipated, transforming into a more reliable idea:
How about beating him up to make him change his mind?
Danitz was a little eager to try.
Even though the promoted Conspirer Danitz still couldn't make up for his deficiencies in certain aspects, he obviously hadn't thought about "how this guy in front of me could know that I used to be a servant," or rather, he naturally attributed Arthur's source of information to some tabloids that only knew how to talk nonsense.
He also overlooked why an ordinary, unremarkable writer would dare to say such things in front of a great pirate who was presumably Danitz.
Perhaps he truly had confidence in his disguise and acting, thinking that the other party believed his utterly unbelievable nonsense?
Anyway, Danitz just showed a smile and said, "Indeed… very interesting. Actually, if you want to write some stories about Danitz, I might be able to provide you with some material."
He paused, then seemed to think of something and added, "Because I look very much like that famous great pirate and am often mistaken for him, I pay close attention to him and know a lot about him."
Danitz certainly wasn't really going to provide material for the writer in front of him to write; his idea was very simple—once he tricked the other party to a secluded place, he would beat him up so he would never dare to write such strange things again.
Lin Ruo, who had put on a new persona and was completely toying with Danitz, smiled even brighter upon hearing this. He could, of course, tell what Danitz was thinking, as the other party's acting was as terribly bad as his makeup skills.
But this didn't stop Lin Ruo from immediately brightening his eyes, like any writer who sees good material, and excitedly and expectantly saying, "Really?"
"Of course it's true, but all those things are in my box, and it's not convenient to get them for you now. How about we go to my room first? Once I put my luggage away, I'll find them for you." Seeing that the other party was tempted, Danitz immediately suggested.
Lin Ruo nodded like a young man who was naive and had just entered society for the first time, not yet knowing the wickedness of society. He even urged, "Then let's go quickly! I can help you tidy up too. Oh, by the way, I'm in first-class cabin 303. Where are you staying?"
"I'm also in first-class, room 312."
The two, each with their own intentions, walked harmoniously towards the cabin, with one's steps more urgent than the other's—Danitz was worried about running into Wayne and exposing his identity, and also eager to beat the person up and then reunite with the other two. As for Lin Ruo, those who know, know.
Klein, standing in a corner, watching the two leave: …
Although… Danitz, what's wrong with you? Even though Lin Ruo changed his persona, don't you find that smile at all familiar?
Did you drink the Conspirer potion for nothing?
Klein was puzzled and tried hard to suppress the twitching of his mouth, deciding to follow them.
That way, if Danitz got beaten up later, he might even be able to intercede.
He definitely wasn't trying to watch the show.
…
First-class cabin, room 312.
When Danitz put down his suitcase and closed the door, he looked at the back of the young man in front of him, who seemed completely unaware of what he was about to face, and couldn't help but reveal a "cruel" smile.
Danitz then loosened his cuffs, deciding to educate the young man in front of him with his fists.
However, before he could make a move, he saw the young man open the notebook he had been holding, and with the other hand holding a pen, he began writing something in the notebook. At the same time, what he said made Danitz suddenly freeze in place:
…Blazing Danitz, who didn't want his dark history to be known across the Five Seas, decided to change the young writer's mind with his fists, but he didn't expect that the young writer had actually hired Gehrman Sparrow as a bodyguard.
And Gehrman Sparrow was precisely the crazy adventurer who had treated him as a maid a few months ago.
However, the young writer himself was actually unaware of this… Hmm, this plot segment will use a dual perspective, written from both 'my' and Danitz's perspectives, and then give Gehrman a stunning entrance. The effect should be good.
Danitz: …
Holy crap!
Danitz's body stiffened. He looked at the young writer's back, subconsciously swallowed, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
No matter how simple-minded he was, at this moment, he had already thought of a very bad possibility.
And Lin Ruo, who had already recorded this segment of his idea while "talking to himself," closed his notebook. He turned around, still looking scholarly, but revealed a smile that was incredibly familiar to Danitz, and said:
"Are you trying to beat me up, Danitz?"
"No… how could I… Hahahaha." Danitz's legs went weak, and he almost knelt on the ground at that moment, forcing a dry laugh, his voice so stiff it seemed it could become solid.
"Oh, then I misunderstood you?" Lin Ruo casually found a chair in the room and sat down, propping his chin with one hand, looking at Danitz, still with a smiling expression:
"Do I need to apologize to you, Mr. Danitz?"
"No, no, no, no need…" Danitz's smile could no longer be maintained; his face was utterly mournful, and he was inwardly going crazy.
—Wayne, what's wrong with you, a good angel, why do you like to pretend to be a rookie so much?!
"Because pretending to be a rookie is very happy. For example, now, do you feel my happiness?"
While inwardly complaining, Danitz suddenly heard Lin Ruo say this. His pupils immediately dilated, and his legs, too weak to support him any longer, went "thud" as he knelt on the ground.
"I'm sorry, I was wrong. Please forgive me."
Danitz, with an unprecedentedly strong will to survive, directly chose to yield.
"Pfft!" Lin Ruo laughed. He looked at Danitz, who seemed utterly terrified and clearly had imagined many things, and said with a gentle smile, "Alright, get up. Am I such a petty person that I would do anything to you over something like this?"
Danitz: "…"
Danitz didn't dare to answer, but at this moment, he let out a huge sigh of relief.
He tremblingly, as if suffering from chronic leg pain, got up from the ground and saw Lin Ruo smilingly pull out a white paper covered in writing from his pocket, saying with a smile:
"Actually, I even prepared a gift for you."
"The books on this list are all content you must master to become an excellent Beyonder. I specially compiled them for you. I hope you can finish them within the next month."
Ah, how could such a good person like him persecute Danitz? He just wanted him to study hard and improve every day.
Lin Ruo's smile was brilliant.
Danitz: "…"
So many books, I'll split in half and still won't finish them in a month!
