Actually, Arthur walked here because he wanted to leave the ship and ordered Erick to help carry his tigers. Nothing else interested him in this place. The lions were clearly not for sale and he had already seen the so-called European masterpieces. It's ti to return to Vera City.
Only, the short man happened to say sothing about his tigers. He, as a person who sotis answers other people's questions gives answers to him. This is the kindness of a senior to a junior.
anwhile, Erick answered Jade's question, "just an arrogant brat, he looked down on everyone just for having the trick of taming tigers."
"He can ta tigers?" Simon was surprised to hear Erick's words. He did say that he might be able to help ta the tigers, but of course, that was just sothing he said perfunctorily out of confidence in his strength.
However, taming a tiger wasn't a concept he was familiar with.
He couldn't help but stare at Arthur with an interested expression.
On the other hand, Arthur continued his walk and he didn't turn aside even though Simon and the others were in his path.
Of course, they weren't going to sideways to make way for him either.
Just when he finally arrived in front of them, his hand suddenly moved, landing on Simon's shoulder. He then said, "sotis curiosity is more dangerous than fighting a lion."
"Eh?" Simon was surprised, not because of Arthur's words, but because the young man's hand suddenly gripped his shoulder. Given his current strength, even a boxer's grip wouldn't cause him too much pain. But at this mont, he felt an ever-increasing aching sensation on his shoulder.
Its mouth opened and little by little, it let out a voice.
Before Wade and Jade could ask, he suddenly scread, so loud that everyone on board could hear him.
"Shit, stop it!" He shouted with a red face. His hand quickly moved to hit Arthur. Unfortunately, it froze before it could hit his body.
Unable to endure the pain in his shoulder any longer, he finally threw himself so that Arthur's hand slipped off his shoulder.
He breathed in and out, looking as if he had just been released from hell. His face was full of sweat as he stared at Arthur in horror.
"What happened to you?" Wade and Jade crouched down to check his condition. However, he couldn't answer, he thought that opening his mouth felt really heavy right now.
Arthur shook his head before taking a step. He didn't say anything to Erick. Amanda is behind him, so that will be her assignnt.
The woman didn't know what caused Arthur to attack Simon, she thought the man had said so bad words to him. She couldn't help but say, "Arthur is a skilled martial artist, you have to be careful with your words. You're lucky he didn't break your leg, you shorty."
The disdainful words she added made Arthur who walked in front couldn't help but glance at her.
Then, she looked at Erick. "I want my tigers to follow behind us, so please send quickly," she said to him. She followed Arthur after that.
Not only her, Roy also followed Arthur, making Amanda confused.
"Mr. Roy, what do you want?" She asked.
Before Roy could answer, Arthur spoke for him. "I want to talk to him for a minute, wait in the car." He then took a step in another direction.
Amanda knit her brows, looking suspicious.
While walking, Arthur took out his cell phone, he opened contacts, went to his aunt's number. It was already quite noon, so she should have woken up from her sleep. As soon as the number appeared, Arthur pressed the call button.
"Arthur?" Arthur's phone call was answered imdiately, Isabel's voice echoed along with the sound of dripping water, maybe she also just woke up and was taking a shower.
"Aunt, I discovered sothing you may need to know," said Arthur.
"Oh yeah, I heard you went out with Amanda, where are you now?" she asked.
"Wave Town," replied Arthur.
"So far... Then, what did you find?" Isabel was surprised.
"This is pretty hard to talk about, so I'll email it." Arthur actually called her just to make sure she wasn't busy, from the beginning he had planned to send an email, but he wanted it to be read imdiately.
"Okay, I'll be waiting!" Answered Isabel. "By the way, you actually put to sleep with magic and left alone, you evil nephew."
Arthur, "..."
"Aunt, are you still drunk?" he asked.
"Still, indeed!" she replied. Arthur couldn't help but think, 'so honest.'
"Okay, aunt, I'll send the email now." Arthur quickly hung up, worried she might say sothing even more preposterous.
His gaze then shifted to Roy who approached him.
The middle-aged man kept showing a suspicious expression, like he wanted to confirm sothing.
"So where did you get the necklace?" Arthur asked.
Despite saying he would tell him, Roy still looked doubtful when asked by Arthur. He took a deep breath, glancing left and right before replying, "I-I actually stole it from a church in the Vatican."

anwhile, Simon is still in bad shape. He was still in pain and kept falling every ti he wanted to walk.
Wade and Jade who realized that he was in big trouble had no other choice but to stop their plans.
They need to check Simon's condition first.
Under Erick's lead, they went to a ward on the ship, but of course, it wasn't a general ward, it was an animal ward. The doctors waiting there were also veterinarians.
Several primates lay on the ward's beds with their eyes closed, their bodies being examined by nurses. Therefore, when Simon was laid down on one of the beds, his face beca red.
"Quick, check what's wrong with him." Erick imdiately gave an order to the old doctor who was leading there. Maybe his main profession is a veterinarian, but he has the ability to treat humans. Plus, the dical equipnt on board is quite complete, even though they are supposed to be for animals, they can still be used for humans.
