Chapter 987: 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 were stunned, because was this from the ship? They had never seen it before!
Facing the cast gaze, Zhang Cheng smiled: "Nice to see you all on the sea after the disaster. God bless!"
"God bless!"
Hearing Zhang Cheng's words, people felt moved.
Looking for survivors, everyone began to get busy.
However, after more lifeboats united, everyone assisted 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. The eight of them were living very well now.
Stepping forward with a smile, Zhang Cheng greeted: "It seems everyone survived!"
Looking at Zhang Cheng, although everyone was a bit sorry, they recognized him at a glance and immediately thanked him.
Because it was Zhang Cheng who dropped the lifeboat, so they could survive.
After chatting for a while, Zhang Cheng learned that they were ship workers on the Titanic, and they were paid less than one-third of others.
Facing this situation, what could Zhang Cheng say? You pay this little money, and you want Far Eastern people to work hard 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 stepped forward and smiled.
"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 earnestly, Zhang Cheng leaned forward: "You wouldn't want everyone to know that you snatched someone's child to get a spot on the boat, would you!"
Looking at Zhang Cheng in anger, Cal immediately said solemnly: "You can't do this!"
"Of course I can do this, and I can use this secret to eat you for a lifetime!"
Patting Cal's shoulder, Zhang Cheng reached out and took the Heart of the Ocean from his arms: "This belongs to me! Consider it an exchange for the secret! After all, I also helped you kill that hoodlum named Jack!"
Looking at Zhang Cheng in shock, Cal watched in disbelief as the Heart of the Ocean was taken away, not daring to say a word.
Because everyone present had survived with great difficulty. If everyone knew that Cal had snatched someone's child to get a boat spot, he would probably be torn to pieces.
After all, when everyone still cared about 'gentlemanly' demeanor, Cal doing this was undoubtedly a betrayal of everything.
Looking at Cal's angry gaze, Zhang Cheng smiled: "Although you lost the Heart of the Ocean, at least you are still alive, right?"
"Zhang, aren't you 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 icy eyes, Zhang Cheng patted his shoulder: "Stop playing these tricks. After all, on this ocean, one less person is very common!"
Hearing Zhang Cheng's words, Cal finally remembered the other party's identity and was stunned in place.
Because anyone who plays trade knows that slave owners are a group of people who eat people without blinking.
They don't care about life, only profit.
And coincidentally, Zhang Cheng was the best among this group, and he cared more about money than other slave owners!
A silent negotiation ended, and Cal finally chose to back down.
Because just as Zhang Cheng said, one less person on this vast ocean is really common!
After all, on the route from Africa to the other side of the ocean, countless corpses were buried on the seabed!
Among them, more or less, were Zhang Cheng's contributions!
"Boss, I..."
Looking at Zhang Cheng, Lovejoy's face was full of embarrassment.
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 mercy!"
"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 didn't matter, because no matter how strong you were, you weren't stronger than him!
So loyalty was what Zhang Cheng needed most. Even if your ability wasn't enough and you messed things up, he wouldn't blame you.
Serving hot soup, the sailors treated the survivors warmly.
Facing their gift, Zhang Cheng handed out pounds: "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 and revealed a sad expression.
"You're right, I should mourn!"
Hearing the sailor's words, Zhang Cheng's mouth was pressing down, but he still wanted to laugh.
After all, he not only messed with things on the Titanic but also got 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 seemed more suitable for Zhang Cheng.
There were more Chinese people and supporters there!
On the whistling train, Lovejoy looked at Zhang Cheng, who was looking at his pocket watch, his eyes full of confusion: "Boss, we are going to San Francisco, what are we going to do?"
"I came, I saw, I conquered!"
Looking at Lovejoy with a smile, Zhang Cheng narrowed his eyes: "This world is more interesting than I imagined! Do you know?"
Looking at Zhang Cheng in confusion, Lovejoy was helpless: "Is that so?"
"Of course!"
Placing a newspaper in front of Lovejoy, it clearly had the three big characters 'Stark'!
Rubbing his chin, Zhang Cheng had long felt that this world wasn't simple, but he didn't expect it to be so complex.
After all, having vampires was one thing, but now there was a Stark family in New York.
This was really a fight between gods!
"Poor people rely on mutation, rich people rely on technology? What do I rely on?"
Thinking, Zhang Cheng was tapping the table.
However, at this moment, the sound of hooves rang out outside the train. When the galloping cowboys roared, Lovejoy was shocked: "Boss, we seem to have encountered robbers!"
"It's okay, Lovejoy, stay calm, just robbers, it's not a big deal!"
Comforting Lovejoy, Zhang Cheng really wanted to say that in a few decades, aliens would appear, so what was this!
But just as Zhang Cheng finished speaking, screams had already sounded. Amidst the gunfire, 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.
