Chapter 468: 462, The Life of a Waiter (First Update)_1

Two days later, when Ocean Oasis docked at the port of New York, Ren He, with his makeup perfectly concealing his features, waited there with a cheerful countenance, while Steve stood beside him, his complexion sullen.

Steve’s sweet dream of reporting Ren He had shattered. In the past two days, as soon as he entered that room, he could forget about going out. Ren He had purchased food and daily necessities early on.

To be honest, Steve didn’t dare try to escape at that time. After all, Ren He had leverage over him, and for all he knew, if he ran, Ren He would release it.

His only hope was that, once the upload was done, the phone would lose signal, and he could deliver a lethal blow. However, Ren He would never allow such a possibility, refusing to entrust his life to the mercy of others’ trust.

For this very reason, Ren He simply chose to have Steve board the ship with him.

Steve always felt that Ren He had seen through his plans, so when facing Ren He’s demands, he inexplicably felt a tinge of guilt.

He wasn’t inherently a major villain. Betraying Ren He was just a means to protect himself. But when the reality rendered him powerless to struggle, Steve’s mood turned somewhat desperate...

Ren He’s vigilant defense made Steve seriously question whether the other party was even a normal youth at all.

Of course, he was damn abnormal. What normal youth becomes an existence like Knight, and has a showdown with the National Security Agency in the center of New York City? No, that’s not right. The net broke, but the fish didn’t die.

There was almost no net left!

An inexplicable resentment towards the National Security Agency brewed in Steve’s heart. You have one job! If you had just taken him out back then, what would that have to do with me? Huh?!

With so many of you, you let him escape! Steve felt that as long as he lived to return, he would definitely join the people currently causing a stir and go to the White House to petition, to lodge a complaint against the National Security Agency!

Of course, Ren He didn’t just threaten Steve; there was also the lure of profit. Ren He promised to pay Steve five million US dollars if he could safely leave the country. This amount of money was nothing to Ren He at all; five million dollars for a life was definitely worth it.

At this moment, Steve found himself in a quandary. Five million dollars! He had now quit gambling, and if he could get his hands on five million dollars, his life would be carefree for the latter half.

He was also trying to judge whether Ren He was deceiving him or not. No one had ever seen Knight, nor had anyone interacted with him. All that was known to the outside world was that Knight was formidable, a ruler in the field of extreme sports.

But what about his credibility...? Nothing! Nobody knew anything!

But could betraying Ren He to the National Security Agency get him five million dollars? Obviously not!

Moreover, once he betrayed Ren He, it would mean that he would come under the scrutiny of the National Security Agency. They would also reflect: why would Knight seek you out?

They would have to keep an eye on him for a while, right? Being watched by the state apparatus is not a pleasant feeling.

So at this moment, should he take the risk for the riches and try for the five million dollars, or report Ren He for the sake of safety? Steve was profoundly conflicted.

However, he was a big-time thief by nature, having taken countless risks in his life, adventure running through his veins...

And damn it, Ren He never even gave him the chance to report!

"Is your man on the ship?" Ren He asked cheerfully.

The moment Steve saw Ren He’s cheerful smile, he felt a bit annoyed—why did he have to be gripped with fear while the other guy acted as if nothing was amiss?

His heart was nearly torn with anxiety, he had lost his appetite, and he couldn’t sleep at night. Meanwhile, this youngster had not a care in the world. Without comparison, there would be no harm done, and Steve was freakin’ annoyed!

However, when Ren He asked the question, Steve still answered honestly, "Yeah, he’s on board. He’s the first mate of the cruise ship; you’ll see him as soon as you go up."

"Then let’s go," Ren He said as he took the lead towards the ship, leaving their luggage on the ground without any intention of picking it up.

Go your sister’s way, Steve thought, feeling completely messed up. He had essentially become the other’s lackey—could you possibly be more brazen?!

Yet, the luggage couldn’t be left there. It contained all the guns Ren He had snatched, and Steve had moved heaven and earth to sneak the luggage on board.

In fact, Ren He felt somewhat relieved that the security checks in America, which hadn’t experienced the 9/11 incident, were completely different from those in his past life.

Although bringing guns on board was a bit risky, Ren He had no choice. In a foreign country, without a gun, he felt no sense of security.

Just to get the luggage on board, Ren He had forked over the last 7000 US dollars he had. Now he was completely broke. His bank card couldn’t be used until he got back to China, which was quite awkward.

However, after coming aboard, Ren He still asked with excitement, "Is there a casino on the cruise ship?"

"Yes," Steve said with a dark face, "But you must understand that we’re here to be waiters. It’s highly frowned upon for waiters to go to the casino. Plus, aren’t you out of money?"

"But you have some, don’t you? Don’t you still have over two thousand US dollars?" Ren He said cheerfully. He hadn’t been to a casino in his previous life or this one. How could he not go and take a look? As soon as the ship left international waters, Ren He wouldn’t have much to worry about. To be honest, he would be willing to swim back to China at that point!

Steve was completely baffled. Was there no law left in this world, being so brazenly fixated on someone else’s money? What the hell had he done in his past life to encounter you! After vowing to give up gambling and leaving his job with Evan, he didn’t have much in the way of savings, and now even the last bit of his money was being targeted by Ren He...

He simply stopped talking. This little ancestor could do whatever he wanted; as long as Steve could get rid of him, he would be eternally grateful.

Steve led Ren He to meet the first mate without a word, and Ren He discovered that Steve and the first mate were former comrades-in-arms. He couldn’t figure out how they’d ended up so differently—the gap between them was huge.

The first mate was also happy to have Steve join, and he specially arranged a clean and tidy double room for Steve and Ren He. The two were now crew members, basic waiters>.

Ren He found it quite novel—it was a life experience. All he needed to do was join Steve at the bar by the pool every day, serving guests drinks, alcoholic beverages, and food. It was quite relaxing.

And he got to see lots of bikini-clad beauties, which was quite a sight.

Who would have known, on this cruise ship, two such inconspicuous waiters—one was an art thief, and the other a global superstar Knight...
