Chapter 631 - 655: Cruise Ship Hijacked
The lights suddenly came on, and the previously noisy hall immediately fell silent. Everyone thought it was just a power outage and once resolved, there would be no problem.
"Good evening, ladies and gentlemen." At this moment, the auctioneer’s position had been replaced by a blond, blue-eyed foreigner who gave a courteous greeting in fluent SSUP Country language.
Everyone was stunned for a moment, confused as to why the auctioneer had changed after the sudden blackout during a perfectly normal auction.
"Let me first introduce myself. My name is Jack Wilson, Harold Hoffenstein. You probably haven’t heard or mentioned me, but that’s not important. As long as you know me from now on, that’s enough. I suspect you still don’t understand why I’m here talking to you..."
With a smile on his face, the man spoke as if deliberately keeping everyone on edge. He paused for a moment, glanced around at the people in the hall, and said with a smile, "I must inform everyone, with great honor, that this cruise ship is now under my control."
A buzzing sound immediately followed, obviously indicating that people still didn’t understand Jack Wilson Harold Hoffenstein’s meaning.
Jack Wilson waved his hand, and everyone quickly quieted down. He then said, "When I say I’m taking over this cruise ship, it means that I now call the shots, including everything on this ship, and of course... all of you."
"What the hell do you want? We’re here for an auction, not here to listen to your nonsense," a man in his forties, quite irritable, stood up and yelled angrily.
"Bang!" A gunshot rang out suddenly, and the speaking man fell backward violently, knocking over a chair and landing in the arms of a woman behind him. The woman immediately screamed, not because the man fell on her, but because she saw a large bullet hole in his head, from which blood flowed, splattering all over her.
The people around the woman saw the scene and jumped up like a stirred nest, screaming repeatedly.
