Chapter 2542 The Third Wife

The handover ceremony was very simple. One hand handed over the money and the other hand handed over the person. It was very much like the scene of redeeming a person from a bandit's lair.

After the ceremony, John Davis' family was left on the airship, and I was invited to dine with Carter Horton.

During the dinner, Carter Horton chatted with me about some of the past events in Airy City. He especially focused on the commercial development of Airy City. It is one of the most developed commercial countries in the Zephyr Continent. Although it has experienced some twists and turns, its foundation remains the same. , given time, after the reconstruction is completed, Airui City will once again jump back to the top.

I frequently raised my glass to toast him, with my face full of admiration and my mouth full of applause, but in my heart I kept sneering: Humph, you old man is so bad! If Shan Yong hadn't revealed everything to me in advance, I would have been deceived by you.

At the end of the banquet, Carter Horton had an ambiguous smile on his face and asked to help me back to the room, but I pushed him away.

I blinked my sleepy eyes, waved my hand staggeringly, and said vaguely: "Okay, don't-don't send me off, I-I'll walk back by myself."

Carter Horton raised his chin, and the two waiters who were pushed away by me came over again, helped me on the left and the right and said: "Sir, you are drunk, you'd better go to the room that His Majesty has prepared for you to rest. Well, there is paradise on earth, everything is there, I will keep it to your satisfaction."

"Get up, get up!" I pushed them away again and staggered out. As I walked, I said drunkenly: "I, I'm not drunk, I can still, burp, I can drink three more - three bottles !”

Along the way, the waiter came over to help me many times, but was pushed away by me many times. Finally, when approaching the palace gate, the waiter stopped helping me, but looked at each other, bowed to me helplessly, and said in a long tone: " Congratulations to you."

After leaving the palace, I still kept stumbling, stumbling all the way, holding on to walls and trees, and finally returned to the airship base.

When the officer on duty saw it was me, he hurriedly came over and helped me onto the airship.

After the person on duty left, I vomited the smell of alcohol, called the cook, prepared a bowl of hot soup, and ordered the waiter to call all John Davis' family members.

I leaned on my chin and half-squinted my eyes, looking from left to right, and then from right to left. I kept everyone's appearance in mind, and then screened them out one by one, leaving only one who looked about forty. middle-aged woman.

This woman is very well-maintained. If it weren't for the indelible crow's feet at the corners of her eyes, I would have believed her to be in her mid-20s.

"Who are you John Davis?" I asked.

Through the handover scene during the day, this woman must have been deeply impressed by me and knew that my status was much higher than hers, so she said respectfully: "I am the wife of John Davis."

"Which term?" I asked again.

She frowned slightly, but soon relaxed, lowered her head and said, "The third term."

"Where are the first two wives?" I asked again.

"All, all dead."

Her tone was slightly hesitant. I guessed that the death of John Davis's first two wives was probably related to this woman.

But I'm not a detective, and I have no interest in prying into such nonsense. Just at this moment, the chef came with hot soup. I scooped out a bowl and was about to drink it when I saw the woman staring at me unblinkingly from the corner of my eye. He looked at the soup bowl in his hand, then put it down and asked her, "Want to drink?"

The woman shook her head quickly and lowered her head with a blushing face.

Seeing her expression was different, I thought for a moment and asked, "Have you eaten since you boarded the airship?"

The woman was startled for a moment, then shook her head.

I called the chef over: "Why didn't you prepare dinner for them?"

The chef bowed respectfully and said, "Reporting to your lord, dinner has been prepared, but they didn't want to eat it."

I chuckled twice, turned to the woman, and said, "It seems you weren't hungry at that time."

The woman nodded subconsciously, but then she reacted and shook her head wildly with a look of fear.

"Prepare dinner," I raised my head and said to the chef.

"Excuse me, what specifications should I prepare?"

"VW spec" I said.

"yes."

The chef bowed and accepted the order.

While preparing dinner, I continued to talk to the woman: "Who is the talker in this family now?"

"Sir, it's me."

She lowered her head and said respectfully.

I nodded, took a sip of soup, and said, "Since you are the one talking about the matter, it will be easy to handle. Let me ask you, are there any members of John Davis' family who are not on the airship?"

The woman had a hesitant look on her face and her eyes rolled around.

"Think about it later." I put down the soup bowl slowly and said, "Your answer will determine the quality of your family's future life and whether John Davis will live or die."

The woman was startled and blurted out: "What happened to Davis?"

"He was arrested," I said leisurely, "and is now being held in the Moonlight City Capital Prison."

"He, what crime did he commit?"

"Corruption, bribery, smuggling, human trafficking and possibly murder, but these are not serious. What really led to his imprisonment was leaking state secrets."

"Leaking state secrets?" the woman said blankly, "But Davis is just a businessman!"

"Can't businessmen leak secrets?" I sneered: "Businessmen can even control the government and decide who will be the king of a country!"

Seeing that she was still confused, I said calmly: "For example, Master Dewey."

The name 'Master Dewey' is well known to everyone on the street, and this woman is no exception. After hearing this name, she groaned and nodded. Although her eyes were still blank, she could understand the meaning of my words to some extent.

"You are a very extraordinary man. You have been decades old. You have spent all your wealth and started all over again. You are still able to return to the top management level in just a few years - even though you are only the top management level of the Moonlight City Hotel. The treatment you can enjoy is that of an ordinary noble."

The woman squirmed and whispered: "Davis's family is just a relatively high-ranking middle-class noble."

"You are right. The highest treatment you can enjoy in Airui City is the relatively high middle-class noble treatment. But considering Davis's contribution to Airui City, you should have enjoyed better treatment a long time ago. High-standard treatment, do you know why?"

"No, I don't know."

"Because Airei City discriminates against foreigners."

"But sir, I...I am a human!"

"But your master, your husband, he is an elf." I sucked the last mouthful of soup into my mouth and swallowed it slowly. I said unhurriedly: "Your child is also a hybrid of elf and human. That's all." , your family’s status in Airui City is either low or high.”

Taking a deep breath, I settled into a comfortable position, leaned on the sofa, and said slowly: "Tell me, are there any family members who have not boarded the airship?"
