Chapter 989: I came, I saw, I conquered!
"Beep, beep, beep!"
The urgent whistle sounded, and the lifeboat in the distance sailed over.
When people saw this small boat, they froze in place because was this from the ship? Why had they never seen it before?
But facing the gazes cast, Zhang Cheng smiled and said, "Very happy to see you all on the sea after the disaster. God bless!"
"God bless!"
Hearing Zhang Cheng's words, people felt moved in their hearts.
Looking for survivors, everyone began to get busy.
However, just after more lifeboats joined together, everyone began to help each other desperately.
People are often like this; only after ensuring their own safety do they have the energy to help others.
Two hours later, the first rescue ship arrived.
When they saw this scene like purgatory, they couldn't help but sigh, "My God, this is really a disaster!"
Climbing up the rope, Zhang Cheng saw his compatriots; all eight of them were living very well now.
Walking up with a full smile, Zhang Cheng greeted them, "It seems everyone survived!"
Looking at Zhang Cheng, although everyone was a bit disheveled, they recognized him at a glance and immediately thanked him.
Because it was Zhang Cheng who dropped the lifeboat, so they were able to survive.
After some small talk, Zhang Cheng learned that they were ship workers on the Titanic, and they were paid less than a third of what others were paid.
Facing this situation, what could Zhang Cheng say? You pay this little, and you still want Far Eastern people to risk their lives for you? It's really hard to handle!
"Oh, my God, Lovejoy, you're still alive, that's great!"
Just after Lovejoy climbed up, Cal recognized his butler at a glance and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.
Looking at Cal, Lovejoy couldn't help but say, "Young Master!"
"No, no, no, Lovejoy, don't forget, I am your boss now!"
Looking at Lovejoy, Zhang Cheng walked up and opened with a full smile.
"Zhang, what do you mean?"
Speaking to Zhang Cheng, Cal asked.
"Buddy, you abandoned him, but I brought him back, so he belongs to me, do you understand?"
Looking at Cal seriously, Zhang Cheng leaned forward and said, "You wouldn't want everyone to know that you snatched someone else's child to get a lifeboat spot, would you?"
Looking at Zhang Cheng in anger, Cal immediately said seriously, "You can't do this!"
"Of course I can do this, and I can eat you for a lifetime with this secret! After all, I even helped you kill that rogue named Jack!"
Looking at Cal in shock, he couldn't believe the Heart of the Ocean was snatched away, and didn't dare to say a word.
Because everyone present had survived with great difficulty, if everyone knew that Cal had snatched someone else's child to get a boat spot, he would probably be torn to pieces by everyone.
After all, when everyone was still talking about "gentlemanly" style, doing this was undoubtedly betraying everything.
Looking at Cal's angry gaze, Zhang Cheng smiled and said, "Although you lost the Heart of the Ocean, at the very least, you are still alive, right?"
"Zhang, are you not afraid of the Hockley family by doing this?"
Looking at Zhang Cheng in anger, Cal seemed to want to use the family's power to threaten him.
"Are you scaring me? Cal, don't forget, I am a slave owner!"
Looking at Cal with cold eyes, Zhang Cheng patted his shoulder and said, "Stop playing these tricks. After all, on this ocean, losing one person is a very common thing!"
Hearing Zhang Cheng's words, Cal finally remembered the other party's identity and froze in place.
Because anyone who has played trade knows that slave owners are a group of people who eat people without blinking.
They don't care about life, only about profit.
And coincidentally, Zhang Cheng is the best among this group of people; he cares more about money than other slave owners!
A silent negotiation ended, and Cal finally chose to retreat.
Because as Zhang Cheng said, on this vast ocean, losing one person is really a very common thing!
After all, on the route from Africa to the other side of the ocean, countless corpses are buried on the seabed!
Among them, more or less, are contributions made by Zhang Cheng!
"Boss, I..."
Looking at Zhang Cheng, Lovejoy's face was full of embarrassment now.
Because initially, he still had many expectations for Cal, but until the other party abandoned him.
"Don't worry, I won't kill him on this ship!"
Speaking to Lovejoy, Zhang Cheng smiled.
Looking at Zhang Cheng, Lovejoy said, "Thank you for your kindness!"
"This is what I should do. The Hockley family is too rude. After all, how can a butler like you be easily abandoned!"
Looking at Lovejoy, Zhang Cheng valued his loyalty very much.
After all, in his eyes, ability level is not important because no matter how strong you are, you are not stronger than him!
So loyalty is what Zhang Cheng needs most. Even if your ability is not enough and you mess things up, he won't blame you.
Bringing hot soup, the sailors enthusiastically treated the survivors.
Facing their gift, Zhang Cheng handed out pounds and said, "Thank you!"
"You're welcome, this is what we should do, hope you can mourn!"
Looking at the pounds in Zhang Cheng's hand, the sailor suppressed the corners of his mouth that were about to rise and revealed a sad expression.
"You're right, I should indeed mourn!"
Hearing the sailor's words, Zhang Cheng's mouth was pressing down, but he still wanted to laugh!
After all, he came to the Titanic not only to do things but also to get the Heart of the Ocean, how could he mourn!
After a long voyage, the ship finally arrived in New York.
However, after getting off the ship, Zhang Cheng took Lovejoy to San Francisco.
Because compared to developing in New York, San Francisco seems more suitable for Zhang Cheng.
There are more Chinese people there, as well as supporters!
On the whistling train, Lovejoy looked at Zhang Cheng, who was looking at his pocket watch, his eyes full of confusion as he said, "Boss, we are going to San Francisco, what are we going to do?"
"I came, I saw, I conquered!"
Looking at Lovejoy with a full smile, Zhang Cheng narrowed his eyes and said, "This world is much more interesting than I imagined! Do you know?"
Looking at Zhang Cheng in confusion, Lovejoy was somewhat helpless and said, "Is that so?"
"Of course!"
Placing a newspaper in front of Lovejoy, it clearly had the three big characters "Stark" on it!
Rubbing his chin, Zhang Cheng had long felt that this world was not simple, but he didn't expect it to be so complicated.
After all, having vampires is one thing, but now there is also the Stark family in New York.
This is really a fight between gods!
"The poor rely on mutation, the rich rely on technology? What do I rely on?"
Thinking, Zhang Cheng was tapping the table.
However, just then, the sound of horse hooves rang out outside the train. When the galloping cowboys roared, Lovejoy said in shock, "Boss, we seem to have encountered robbers!"
"It doesn't matter, Lovejoy, calm down, just robbers, not a big deal!"
Comforting Lovejoy, Zhang Cheng really wanted to say, in a few decades, aliens will appear, so where are we now!
But just as Zhang Cheng finished speaking, screams had already rung out. With gunfire everywhere, the robbers walked into the carriage and roared, "Gentlemen, ladies, you have been robbed, now hand over all your valuables!"
Shouting, the robbers laughed wildly in excitement.
