Chapter 1503: Chapter 1503: I’m So Well-Behaved
Purple Summers replied, “Just satisfying the third requirement is also fine.”
Cherry was still not quite willing, muttering, “Why are you so nosy, this is the High Seas.”
Purple Summers was slightly taken aback, then laughed, “Wow, you’ve become cultured, knowing about the High Seas, who told you that?”
Cherry pointed at Mr. Ghost Hayes.
Mr. Ghost Hayes chuckled awkwardly, “I know a little, just a little…”
Purple Summers put away her smile, looked at them coldly, “Let me educate you on the law now. The 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea established the flag state jurisdiction principle. Do you know what that means? It means that the ship you are currently on, its registration determines which country’s laws you are subject to! There are fewer cases on the High Seas because evidence is hard to obtain and the cost of handling cases is high, but don’t think you can do as you please!”
“Why are you so fierce!” Cherry grumbled in displeasure, “I didn’t do anything!”
“I’m giving you a heads up!” Purple Summers said seriously, “So you don’t go astray, get fooled by a few words, and go commit murder and arson!”
“So what if I do, every debt has its debtor, it has nothing to do with me anyway…” Cherry said carelessly.
Purple Summers sneered, “Do you really think I can’t deal with you?”
Cherry pursed her lips and stayed silent, but her disdainful expression said it all.
Purple Summers said, “Cherry, don’t forget, I know your weakness.”
Cherry: “…”
Purple Summers leaned forward slightly, getting close to her, her voice icy, “No matter how powerful you are, can you kill all the dogs in the world? If you dare to ignore my words, I’ll make sure everywhere you eat, sleep, or go to the bathroom is surrounded by dogs! Wherever you go, I’ll have dogs follow! Big dogs, little dogs, long-haired dogs, short-haired dogs, purebred dogs, mixed breed dogs, all chasing you!”
Cherry yelled angrily, “You terrible woman! You’re so vicious!!!”
Alexander Summers: “Pfft…”
Purple Summers said calmly, “Your brain’s rusty, I’ll clean it up for you later. I won’t say much now, there’s an old lady waiting for you for half a day. Tomorrow I’ll wait for you in the room.”
She looked at Alexander Summers and said, “Give her a room card.”
Alexander Summers handed Cherry a card, smiling mischievously, “See you tomorrow, little ghost.”
Cherry pressed her lips tightly, swallowed her grievances, and took it, her eyes red with indignation.
After the couple left, she looked down at the room card in her hand, tears welling up.
“Such a fierce woman… yet someone still wants her…” she pouted, feeling utterly wronged, “I’m so well-behaved, but no one wants me…”
Mr. Ghost Hayes quietly rubbed the corner of his mouth, trying to make his twitch less obvious.
Cherry wallowed in sadness for a while, then put the card away. She had originally wanted to show off in front of mortals, but now she was deflated.
She listlessly asked Mr. Ghost Hayes, “Who else?”
“There’s also number 3807,” Mr. Ghost Hayes emphasized, “this one has the highest bid, a whopping one billion!”
Cherry didn’t really care about that, her mind elsewhere, and sighed, “Sigh… I wonder if Gavin Graves has bid…”
After a while, this bidder also entered the room.
Just as Purple Summers said, it was an elderly lady.
She seemed at least eighty, with a head full of white hair, but was dressed very neatly, wearing light makeup and jewelry, without the decadent air of old age, she was a very noble and elegant old lady.
She sat in a wheelchair, pushed in by a caregiver, and the translator conveyed her wishes to Purple Summers, “Mrs. Wilson’s husband passed away three years ago, she misses him dearly, and because she is unsure if she can go to heaven in the future, she hopes to see her husband again in her lifetime.”
Cherry listened, looked curiously behind the old lady, “Is her husband tall and skinny, um… white-haired, a bit bald, with a few small blue flowers in the pocket on his chest?”
