Chapter 1525: Chapter 1525: Conflict
At this moment, Cherry had already come out of the water. She held the black cat with a vigilant expression, coldly watching these people in front of her.
Gavin Graves communicated with the other party entirely in English, his face equally cold and full of displeasure.
Purple Summers came over and asked Cherry, "What’s going on?"
Cherry was particularly furious: "He wants my cat! He said I killed his dog and should give him the cat as compensation! Why should I?! I’m already being polite by not asking him for medical expenses!"
Purple Summers’ face darkened, and she glanced at Alexander Summers.
There were quite a few Stan Brothers’ people around, and there were also quite a few people on Gavin and Alexander’s side. The atmosphere was tense, with the implicit threat of a major confrontation. Savvy tourists nearby quietly packed up their things and left.
Purple Summers pulled Cherry back two steps, to avoid getting caught in a fight and getting hurt.
Cherry asked Purple Summers angrily, "Do you think I should extract their souls and turn them into little ghosts?"
"Don’t be impulsive," Purple Summers said, while watching the situation ahead, "The Stan Family has deep roots. Even if you get temporary satisfaction now, there will be countless troubles later. Do you want Gavin to be in danger?"
Cherry pursed her lips in frustration, unappeased.
Purple Summers, afraid she might act impulsively, tightly gripped her wrist, saying, "Don’t rush, let’s see what happens first."
The voices over there gradually grew louder, the tones intense, obviously with the other party making bold statements in front of Gavin.
They stood at the back, unable to see Gavin’s expression at the moment.
As tension mounted, someone suddenly ran over hurriedly, whispered something to Stan, whose face changed abruptly, and he turned and left quickly! His entourage also left in a rush, clearing out completely.
Gavin Graves and Alexander Summers exchanged glances.
It seemed that the Stan Brothers had encountered some trouble; otherwise, they wouldn’t have retreated. However, given the infamously notorious behavior of the two brothers, once the trouble is resolved, they’ll likely return to cause trouble for Gavin and Cherry.
Alexander Summers asked Gavin, "Can you go up against them?"
Gavin cast him a sidelong glance, "Depends on what we’re competing in."
In terms of background, no matter how influential Gavin is, he’s just a businessman, nowhere near the mafia’s level.
But if it’s about numbers, the Stan Brothers, plus their cousin Gene, and the bodyguards they brought onboard, they numbered about eighty to ninety.
Gavin and Alexander’s men totaled about seventy, leaving little difference, with a chance of victory.
Moreover, the strict security on the "Under The Rose" yacht prohibits carrying any ammunition or weapons due to their high destructive capability, which could easily cause unintended harm to innocent tourists and damage the onboard facilities.
Alexander Summers said, "Since they’re still on the ship, find an opportunity to act. Once they’re off the ship, it’ll be endless trouble."
Being targeted by the Stan Brothers means you’ll be skinned alive even if you survive. If they left the ship, it would be like letting the tiger back into the mountains.
"How about giving them the cat?" Cherry said sinisterly, "Then, when they sleep tonight, let Octopus drain them dry!"
Alexander Summers immediately praised her, "That’s a good plan; if they die, it can’t be blamed on us."
He inexplicably found a resonance with Cherry, his eyes full of appreciation, "Little devil, you have potential."
Purple Summers couldn’t help but roll her eyes.
Feeling a bit disheartened today, they didn’t stay any longer and went to the restaurant to eat together.
After finishing their meal and returning to their room, they found the entire deck blocked by the Stan Brothers’ men, frisking everyone, allowing entering but not exiting.
The rooms on this deck were the best royal suites on the cruise, accommodating the wealthiest guests. The sudden requirement for frisking naturally provoked many protests.
The room manager attempted to negotiate, only to be told: The younger brother of the Stan Brothers had been murdered in the room, and anyone refusing to comply with the frisking was a suspect hiding the murder weapon and would be hunted down forever by the Stan Family!
