That look made him break out in a cold sweat.

So he kept his guard up, and after leaving, he eavesdropped outside the door only to hear those two people planning to make a move that night.

On hearing this, Tanimoto Ichiro hurried back to his cabin in a panic. He originally wanted to seek help from Chiba Keiko and Miyazaki Yuki, but considering they were now Wang Xiaoqiang's female servants, he wisely asked for Wang Xiaoqiang's help instead.

Of course, this old fox cleverly offered half of his winnings.

"Mr. Wang, you, you can't just stand by and watch me die..." Tanimoto Ichiro suddenly knelt down in front of Wang Xiaoqiang. Since it wasn't his first time kneeling, it was like a woman's first time; after the first, the second isn't as precious.

Wang Xiaoqiang would naturally not stand by and watch him die. Yesang Ranch hadn't been taken over yet, so Tanimoto Ichiro had to stay alive. He just wanted to scare the old fox, but he hadn't expected him to be so frightened of death and kneel again.

Seeing this, Wang Xiaoqiang laughed and said, "Get up, just stay in your room and sleep all day today, don't go out, I'll ensure your safety..."

"Thank you, thank you so much." Tanimoto Ichiro was relieved to hear Wang Xiaoqiang agree to save him and couldn't thank him enough.

"Get up!"

Tanimoto Ichiro got up, took out a check and presented it, "Mr. Wang, this is a cash check for one billion RMB, please accept it for now. I'll pay you the remaining ten-plus million once we get to Australia..."

"Well, okay." Wang Xiaoqiang chuckled as he took the check and pocketed it, feeling delighted. Just by taking a cruise, he had gained so much, not only acquiring a Spirit Grass but also one billion in funds.

Wang Xiaoqiang instructed Chiba Keiko and Miyazaki Yuki to guard Tanimoto Ichiro in the room while he went outside to find Jenny,

Today, Wang Xiaoqiang noticed Jenny had changed into a beautiful dress, appearing noble, elegant, sexy, and alluring. As soon as they met, she threw herself into Wang Xiaoqiang's arms as if a single day apart felt like an eternity. Human emotions are such a wonder, just like when Lin Daiyu first met Jia Baoyu, she had felt a sense of déjà vu.

Wang Xiaoqiang hadn't expected to encounter such a wonderful romance on this cruise. The small-town farmer inside him was brimming with excitement and thrill. He remembered watching "Titanic" as a child, admiring the ultra-luxurious cruise ship from afar, thinking it was out of his reach, that he'd never be able to experience it. Yet here he was in his twenties, stepping onto this luxurious cruise just like the film's protagonist, and moreover, as a wealthy man. And the foreign girl he encountered, Jenny, was every bit as appealing as Rose in the film, with a figure to match Rose's voluptuousness and a demeanor as noble and elegant, even slightly demure, which made Wang Xiaoqiang adore her all the more.

The only difference was that Rose wasn't someone else's fiancée, and this ship wouldn't sink; of course, if it were to sink, Wang Xiaoqiang felt that tragedy wouldn't befall him. A hundred and twenty-eight Spirit Grass Trays would carry him to the Australian port.

After spending the day on the deck with Rose, Wang Xiaoqiang returned to his cabin at night. Tanimoto Ichiro was having dinner, having slept all day, he felt some relief. However, as night fell, his fear remained. Tomorrow they would arrive in Australia, and just one more night to endure for his safety.

Seeing Wang Xiaoqiang return, Tanimoto Ichiro felt much more at ease and hence ordered a table full of food and drinks to share with Wang Xiaoqiang, his fear also stemming from the concern that Wang Xiaoqiang might fall asleep.

The food on the cruise was nothing short of excellent, although it was a bit expensive.

Wang Xiaoqiang had Chiba Keiko and Miyazaki Yuki sit down as well. The four of them faced each other and drank, feeling quite comfortable.

Soon, the door creaked, moved by the sea breeze.

Hearing the door, Tanimoto Ichiro shuddered, and Wang Xiaoqiang frowned as he saw this, saying, "Tanimoto Ichiro, are you looking down on me..."

Wiping away sweat, Tanimoto Ichiro said, "Mr. Wang, you don't know, I heard there are members of the Rose Organization from the United States on this cruise ship... Those assassins, really, are too terrifying, able to blow a person's head off with a single shot..." Though Wang Xiaoqiang had supernatural abilities, Tanimoto Ichiro still feared firearms more. It was an inborn idea, not easily changed.

Tanimoto Ichiro had indeed guessed right; the party that had lost money had actually gotten someone from the Rose Organization to come and kill Tanimoto Ichiro. Ever since the Mafia had driven the Rose Organization out of the United States, their whereabouts had been uncertain, with them frequently committing crimes on cruise ships recently.

At that moment, someone was looking in from outside the window—that person was from the Rose Organization, trusted to kill Tanimoto Ichiro and retrieve the gambling funds. However, when he saw that there was not just one Tanimoto Ichiro in the room but also two women and another man, he was very surprised. The surprise was not because there were so many people; rather, it was because one of them looked very much like Wang Xiaoqiang, a person whom they dreaded.

It was this person who had made it impossible for them to return to the United States.

Seeing that the man's appearance closely resembled that of Wang Xiaoqiang, the assassin hesitated to raise his gun and instead observed intently and quietly.

Just then, a hearty laughter echoed in the room, "Haha... the Rose Organization, we really are enemies on a narrow road, aren't we? What a coincidence to encounter them here. I still have an old score to settle with them, and they better not come looking for trouble. Otherwise, I'll throw them all into the sea to feed the sharks..."

The assassin's heart pounded upon hearing this, because the voice came from none other than the person who looked remarkably like Wang Xiaoqiang, that frightening figure.

The one initially sent to kill him was the strongest assassin in the organization, but the operation had failed. The mentally robust female assassin had panicked under pressure, revealing her whereabouts and getting seriously injured by the enemy. The person coordinating with her had no choice but to kill her to silence her. Yet, their adversaries quickly found them, backed by the Mafia.

It was terrifying to even think about it.

The assassin dared not think anymore and quietly retreated.

Inside the room, Wang Xiaoqiang continued, "Tanimoto Ichiro, you know only that the Rose Organization is on this ship, but do you know why such a renowned organization would stoop to such petty jobs on this ship..."

"I heard, I heard it was because of persecution by the Mafia, they couldn't stay in the United States," said Tanimoto Ichiro.

"Why would the Mafia bother with a small assassin organization?" Wang Xiaoqiang asked again.

Tanimoto Ichiro shook his head, indicating he didn't know. Chiba Keiko and Miyazaki Yuki were also listening with interest, and now they stared at Wang Xiaoqiang expectantly, hoping he would reveal the truth. Wang Xiaoqiang smiled confidently and announced a sentence that shocked all three of them... "Because the Rose Organization offended me!"
