A carefree soldier king in the city

Chapter 109 Ghost Ship

He smiled slightly and said, "I suppose so!"

Huang Mengting's eyes lit up noticeably, and she said with admiration, "Wow... You're so young to be the chairman of a listed company, handsome guy, you're amazing! You must be thirty!"

"Forehead?"

Chao Bufan was taken aback, thinking to himself, "This girl really knows how to strike up a conversation." He smiled and asked, "Do I look that old?"

Hearing this, Huang Mengting smiled shyly and asked, "That's not what I meant, handsome. How old are you this year?"

Chao Bufan's eyes, hidden behind sunglasses, sized up Huang Mengting. The girl looked to be in her early twenties, quite pretty, with large, watery eyes. Her most striking feature was her chest; it was probably too big to be grasped by a single hand! If she were to fall headfirst, it would surely leave two craters in the ground. Not only her, but the girl named Li Wei was similarly large. However, Li Wei was slightly plump, but not too plump—just right. She was alluring yet sexy. While her chest couldn't compare to Huang Mengting's, it was much larger than Tang Qianqian's. As for Zhang Xiuli, her skin was comparable to Tang Qianqian's, smooth and jade-like, with a slender and graceful figure, a waist as thin as a willow, and eyes as clear as water, as if mist were rising from them when she slightly lifted her eyelids—indescribably beautiful. Tang Qianqian was cunning yet innocent, alluring yet pure. If Tang Qianqian's charm was merely superficial... This woman's charm was so deep and graceful, it was imbued with a touch of nobility that made people bow their heads in intoxication.

In conclusion, each of the four women before us possesses her own unique beauty, charm, and allure.

In the blink of an eye, Chao Bufan had compared the four women in front of him.

"I am twenty-three years old this year," Chao Bufan replied calmly.

Upon hearing this, Huang Mengting exclaimed in slight surprise, "So young!"

"Mengting, what are you talking about?" Zhang Xiuli and the others walked over and asked Li Wei.

"Oh, it's nothing, just chatting," Huang Mengting replied casually.

"Mengting, didn't you just say you wanted to play games? Tell me about it!" Zhang Xiuli asked.

"What else is there to say? None of you are playing."

"How would you know if you didn't tell me?"

Huang Mengting hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay then! Sisters, look, there are only a few of us on this cruise ship. If we just stand or sit here, it will be so boring! We come out to have fun, right? So I want to play a game together."

Li Wei seemed intrigued and urged, "Mengting, you've said so much, but you haven't gotten to the point. Hurry up and tell us, what game is it?"

"Hehe!" Huang Mengting giggled and said, "Hehe, it depends on whether Qianqian is willing to participate."

He then looked at Tang Qianqian, who smiled and said, "Why are you looking at me? I'll just listen to Li Wei and Xiuli."

Tang Qianqian answered quite decisively this time, perhaps because of Chao Bufan's presence!

"Okay." Huang Mengting smiled, then whispered a few words in Li Wei's ear. Li Wei frowned slightly, glanced at Chao Bufan, and asked, "Mengting, are you really sure you want to play this kind of game?"

Zhang Xiuli seemed intrigued and hurriedly asked, "Tell me quickly, don't be so mysterious, what game is it?"

Li Wei whispered a few words in her ear, and Zhang Xiuli frowned in surprise, saying, "Mengting, you..."

Huang Mengting quickly cut Zhang Xiuli off, saying, "Stop talking nonsense, are you going to play or not?"

Li Wei and Zhang Xiuli exchanged a glance, then shook their heads in unison: "No... play it yourself!"

Huang Mengting gave a dry laugh and said, "I told you! I knew you guys wouldn't play. Fine, then don't play."

As she spoke, she gently swirled the wine glass in her hand, took a small sip, and then said, "Qian, let's take the cruise ship over there later. There seems to be... oh? There seems to be a boat over there."

Upon hearing this, Li Wei and the others quickly looked in the direction Huang Mengting pointed, and sure enough, they saw a ship approaching not far to the right of the cruise ship.

“It really is a ship!” Zhang Xiuli said.

Chao Bufan glanced at it too, but then took off his sunglasses, stood up, and squinted at the rapidly approaching ship. He wondered, "A ship from Country F? Strange, this is HX's territorial waters. Why would a ship from Country F be here?" Feeling that something was amiss, he quickly said, "Qianqian, you guys go inside and turn the ship around."

Li Wei hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"

Chao Bufan frowned slightly and said, "Those are ships from Country F, and they're not ordinary ships."

Huang Mengting asked in surprise, "Really? How could a ship from Country F possibly end up here?"

From a distance, the flag on the ship was not clearly visible, but as it drew closer, it was indeed the flag of country F.

“It really is the flag of Country F,” Huang Mengting said.

Tang Qianqian seemed to realize something and said urgently, "Everyone, hurry inside! Bufan, what about you?"

Chao Bufan, with a serious expression, kept his eyes fixed on the rapidly approaching ship and replied, "You go in first, I'll observe."

Just as Chao Bufan was speaking, the super-large ship had arrived less than 100 meters away from the cruise ship and stopped.

The ship looked quite old, with many parts covered in rust. The railings along the hull were mottled and worn due to age, and even the flag symbolizing the country of F looked tattered.

Tang Qianqian, Li Wei, and the others' expressions changed drastically. Huang Mengting asked in a panic, "They're right in front of us, what do we do?"

Chao Bufan's expression was serious, his eyes fixed on the warship anchored ahead. He thought in surprise, "Strange, such a big ship, why is there no one inside? Who's piloting it?"

"Huh?" Zhang Xiuli suddenly exclaimed in surprise, "Isn't this the 'Godwalker,' the pirate ship that disappeared from F country 15 years ago?"

This single sentence caused quite a stir. Tang Qianqian, Huang Mengting, and Li Wei then noticed the three blurred characters on the bow of the ship: "Godwalker".

Li Wei seemed unable to believe his eyes and asked, "Xiuli, are you really sure this is the 'Godwalker' ship that disappeared from Country F 150 years ago?"

Zhang Xiuli frowned slightly, nodded, and said, "Yes, my great-grandfather was an archaeologist, and I only found out about it by chance when I flipped through his collection of diaries. It was a pirate ship, said to have once been a tyrant of the seas, specializing in robbing merchant ships from various countries. According to the book, the ship was loaded with countless gold and silver treasures, but 150 years ago, it sank in a storm and disappeared without a trace. Back then, Country F sent a large number of coast guards to search the location where the ship sank, and other countries also sent many coast guards to search, but to no avail. Gradually, all countries gave up."
