Gate of the Cross

Chapter 358 or episode

Captain Nemo regretfully told Yule that he had finally made a difficult decision after a period of thinking.

Yu Le either gives up his goods, and Nemo will no longer pursue his smuggling, and can even send him a trip to Albany for free. Or take his few goods back to the Kingdom of France and go to other countries to do business again after completing the formalities.

But either of these two choices was painful for Yu Le. He hugged his goods tightly and just shook his head and refused.

Seeing this situation, Grandet snorted, "Captain Nemo, don't be polite to deal with such a person. Just let the soldiers forcibly take them away. Otherwise, it's not good for you to let the palace know about this.

Nimo shook his head helplessly, "Jerson!"

A soldier came forward after hearing Nemo's words, "Captain!"

"Send him back to China."

Nimo still thinks about Yule. If he is allowed to go to Elbania, it will be useless for him to go there if he is penniless. It's better to let him take the goods back to France. In that case, he may still have a chance.

But Yu Le didn't understand him. When he heard that the captain asked him to take him back to China, he immediately cried.

Nimo hardened his heart to ignore it, and he still felt annoyed. Just as he was about to turn around and leave, a crisp voice came from the crowd:

"Wait!"

Jason, the soldier who was dragging Yule to leave, only felt numb and didn't know how to let him go.

Hearing this sound, Xinjie felt a little familiar. He looked into the crowd and thought it was her.

It was the girl who talked to him on the deck before. Xinjie didn't expect her to stand up under such circumstances. What does she want to do?

The audience felt a bright eye. A tea-haired girl who had just reached her shoulders suddenly appeared. The beautiful face made everyone feel in a good mood after seeing it. After all, it is an indisputable fact to see beautiful women.

"What can I do for you?"

Nemo doesn't have everyone's thoughts. He is annoyed enough at this moment. Although the girl in front of him is indeed beautiful, on the one hand, he is not in the mood to appreciate it now. On the other hand...

It seems that this girl looks fifteen or six years old. Of course, Nemo dares not look down on any young girl in this world. I heard that some adventurers from other worlds were only ten years old when they came to this world, but they were already able to fight with the demon clan, which he couldn't do.

It's just one yard. Now he thinks he hasn't done anything wrong, so he naturally doesn't have to be afraid when facing this girl.

"Don't you think it's a little too much to do this? This man has been so miserable that you still fell into the well! You asked him to go back to France. He just said that his family still expects him to bring money back to help his family.

The girl was full of righteousness, pointed to Nemo and Grandet and scolded:

"It's okay if you don't help him. What he needs at this moment is understanding and help. Do you still have a little sympathy?"

Nemo shook his head and said, "Sorry, girl, my sympathy can't be given to him at this moment, because he does violate the laws of the kingdom. The only thing I can do is not send him to prison."

Compared with Nemo Grandet, he shrugged his shoulders: "Compassion, how much is that thing per catty?"

"You...you!"

The tea-haired girl felt that the two people in front of her were simply unreasonable, especially the businessman named Grandet.

Although she was extremely angry, she did not know how to deal with this situation, because she also knew that Nemo was right. The old man named Yule did violate the laws of the Kingdom of France, but there was a reason for what happened, and she felt that the captain should not deal with it.

"Since you like to be generous with others, you can help him yourself."

Seeing the appearance of the tea-haired girl, Grande couldn't help laughing and said, "You think he is pitiful. Why don't you just give him the money you have? In this way, he doesn't have to go to other countries and can go home happily. What do you think?

The audience shook their heads after hearing Grande's words. This person is too damaged. It's okay if you don't want to help others. What's the idea now? Even if the girl looks very kind and stands up to speak for Yu Le at this moment, it is too much for her to give her money to Yu Le.

Just when everyone thought that the girl was going to scold Grandet again, the girl's words calmed them all down.

"This is also a way."

Is there anything wrong?

Almost everyone is doubting whether this girl's brain is flooded. It would be a pity if there is something wrong with the brain of such a beautiful girl.

"Old man, that's all I have. Take it. I think it can solve some of your problems and use this money to go through legal procedures. Next time you don't have to smuggle to sea like this."

"Oh, my God, that's at least five or six thousand gold coins, right?"

"No, I think it should be tens of thousands."

"Isn't this girl really a fool?"

"Her parents will be sad, prodigal!"

The onlookers expressed surprise. When they saw the girl handing over a large bag of gold coins to Yu Le's hand, they were all talking about it.

"Captain, there is something I hope you can help."

After putting this bag of gold coins into Yule's hand, the girl said to Nemo.

"What's the matter?"

Nemo can only sincerely admire the behavior of a girl. Anyway, he thinks that he can't do it. He takes out all his money to help others for a person who is not a relative. Think about it, it will only happen in novels, right?

"I hope you can send him safely to France."

"This is for sure."

Hearing that the girl's request was made, Nemo readily agreed. He originally planned to send Yule back to France, but he himself did not agree. Now that he has received such a large amount of money, he will definitely not do that again.

"But...but..."

Yu Le looked at the girl and seemed to be so excited that he didn't know what to say.

"Take this money, pay off the debts first, and then complete the legal procedures for doing business as I just said, so that you don't have to do it like today."

The girl smiled and said to Le.

Yu Le nodded heavily and left this time with the soldier named Jason.

Seeing that there was nothing to see, everyone dispersed, but Grandet stayed and said to the captain:

"Captain Nemo, you see, since that person's goods are no longer needed, it's useless to stay with you anyway. How about selling them to me cheaply?"

Seeing that Grande was still planning to take advantage of him, Nemo was very shameless and pointed to the tea-haired girl and said:

"Since this lady has solved this matter, she will naturally deal with Mr. Yule's goods. If you want, you can talk to her." After saying this, Nemo said disdainfully, "Do you still care about these little things with Mr. Grande's wealth?"

"How can you say that? Although these things are worthless at present, they can be shipped to other countries. As long as they go through my publicity, they can be several times or even dozens of times the price!"

After he finished speaking, he turned to the tea-haired girl, "Well... I don't know what this lady is called. Can you sell me these goods?"

The girl looked at him and sighed, "If you need it, take it away."

Hearing her words, Grandet immediately ordered his men to transport the goods, rubbing his hands and said with a smile, "Miss is really a reasonable person. I don't know how much you think it is appropriate to pay? Let me talk about it first. These goods are worthless and low-class goods compared with my goods. I'm also kind enough to help you solve it because others are useless. If it costs too much, I won't give it to you!"

Nemo couldn't listen to this. Grandet's shamelessness was beyond his imagination. He shook his head and planned to leave. After all, there were still a lot of things waiting for him to deal with.

When he saw Xinjie, he was slightly stunned, nodded to him, and walked away without saying anything.

"Take it, it's free."

The girl shook her head and said.

"That's what you said!"

Grandet was afraid that the other party would regret it. Without saying a word, he commanded his subordinates to drag the goods away. He took the lead and ran to them.

The girl looked at Grandet's hurried departure, sighed and looked around. She happened to find Xinjie and came to him.

"Hello, what a coincidence? We met again." She greeted Xinjie enthusiastically.

Because of what happened just now, Xinjie had a little more affection for this girl who didn't know her name, so he responded, "Yes, it's really a coincidence."

"Have you seen what happened just now? That man is really pitiful.

Xinjie nodded, "It's really pitiful, but you have helped him."

"It's not enough, but it's a pity that I don't have more money with me, otherwise I can help him more," the girl said in a regretful tone, "I don't know if he can get through this after going back."

After she said this, she found that the red-haired teenager opposite was looking at her with a strange look, which made her a little shy and angry. She thought it was just the second meeting. How could this person stare at herself with this kind of gaze?

"Did you... give him all the money you have?"

When she was thinking about these things, the red-haired girl opposite asked, and she suddenly reacted:

"That's right!"

“......”

"What's the problem?"

She couldn't help but feel a little strange when she saw that the other party didn't say a word.

"Nothing... as long as you think it's worth it."

For such a girl, Xinjie didn't know what to say. He shook his head and said hello to the girl, "That's it. I'm going back to my room. Goodbye."

"Wait, I don't know your name yet!"

"Xinjie."

Xinjie said without looking back.

"Xinjie? It's a strange name." The girl said to herself.
