save the bachelors

Chapter 4256 4258 [Real Party]

The two things Xiang Nan ordered were subsequently carried out.

After all, there are so many celebrities, gentry and high-ranking officials on the ship. If something really happens, White Star Line will not be able to bear it.

By then, the compensation alone would be enough to bankrupt the company.

Moreover, if an accident really happened, resulting in casualties, White Star Line's image in high society would be completely destroyed.

No rich man would use their boats anymore, so they would have to close down.

Because high-end cruise ships make money by relying on first-class and second-class passengers. A first-class passenger costs hundreds of pounds, while a third-class passenger only costs a few pounds, a difference of dozens of times.

Just like airlines make money from first-class and business-class seats, and economy-class seats can only break even, so shipping companies value top-level customers.

So compared to grabbing news and headlines, it is naturally better to arrive in New York safely.

After the ship slowed down, the lookouts were equipped with infrared night vision binoculars, which allowed them to see farther. Even if they found icebergs, they could avoid them in time, which greatly enhanced the safety of navigation.

……

Next, the dinner continued.

However, no one had the leisure to eat, drink or chat, but instead gathered around Xiang Nan.

"Mr. Dawson, where did you learn magic from?" Madeline asked curiously.

"This is an ancestral talent. My ancestor is Merlin Ambrosius. After helping King Arthur ascend the throne, he retired to the mountains, married and had children." Xiang Nan explained, "His descendants inherited his magical talent and obtained his magical heritage.

I guess this magical talent should come from bloodline. But because each subsequent generation combines with ordinary people, the bloodline becomes increasingly diluted, and not everyone can inherit the magical talent.

My great-grandfather's great-grandfather did not inherit this talent, so during the Age of Discovery, he chose to come to America to develop and changed his surname to Dawson.

But I didn’t expect that in my generation, perhaps because of atavism, my magical talent returned, so I inherited the magic of my ancestor Merlin.”

When everyone heard this, they were amazed and nodded.

European aristocrats are superstitious about the theory of bloodline. After all, they also pass on their titles and wealth through bloodline.

……

"Mr. Dawson, can you really fly?" Guggenheim asked curiously.

Xiang Nan smiled and floated up gently.

When everyone saw this, they all praised it.

Then Xiang Nan appeared like a ghost, flashing to the other side in an instant, and then flashing back.

"Wow~" Everyone exclaimed in surprise. The speed was simply too fast and they couldn't see clearly.

"Mr. Dawson, are you interested in working in our company? I can offer you an annual salary of 100,000 pounds." At this time, Strauss, the founder of Macy's, suddenly spoke.

Xiang Nan chuckled when he heard it, "Mr. Strauss, thank you for your kindness. But, do you think someone like me will be short of money? I can easily get gold with just a little bit of money."

As he spoke, he pointed at the glass. The glass immediately turned golden, shining brightly, extremely gorgeous, and it was obvious that it was a beautiful golden cup.

When everyone saw this, they were all shocked, and then they all looked at Strauss and laughed.

It was ridiculous that he actually wanted to hire a wizard with money.

"Mr. Dawson, my granddaughter Andrea Astor VI is very beautiful. Are you interested in meeting her after we get off the ship?" At this moment, Astor IV suddenly said.

"John, you are so cunning~" Everyone scolded when they heard it.

If bribery didn't work, why not try seduction? Moreover, he wanted to keep the magic talent in the hands of the Astor family through marriage. He was really calculating. "Mr. Dawson, don't believe what old John said. I've seen his granddaughter, and she's not pretty at all. But my daughter is very beautiful. Would you like to consider it?" Mr. Guggenheim said.

"My granddaughter is called the Rose of France. She is a truly beautiful person. Would you like to consider my granddaughter?" Baron Cosmo also smiled.

Xiang Nan smiled and waved his hand, "Don't worry about it, I have no plans to get married for now. Besides, I won't stay in this world for long.

I am on board this ship just to prevent it from sinking. When the ship reaches the shore, I will say goodbye to you all. You will never see me again. "

Hearing him say this, everyone felt a sense of regret.

"Where are you going, child?" asked Mrs. Brown curiously.

"I don't have a fixed destination. I think I will travel around the world." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "North America, South America, Australia, Asia, Africa, Europe, Antarctica, Arctic... There are always places in the world that I have not been to, and there are always some scenery that I have not appreciated..."

Hearing him say this, everyone was very envious.

Being able to travel the world as you please is really amazing.

You know, even if you are a wealthy noble, you can't go wherever you want in this era.

First of all, transportation is inconvenient. There are no airplanes at this stage, and ocean travel can only be done by ship, which takes a long time. Secondly, they are not as free as Xiang Nan. These nobles and wealthy businessmen also need to manage investments and businesses.

"Okay, everyone, I'm very happy to meet you tonight." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "But it's getting late, please excuse me~"

As he spoke, he suddenly disappeared.

When everyone saw it, they were all stunned, and then they looked for it in a hurry, but they couldn't find it.

……

Just as everyone was panicking, Rose suddenly heard a voice in her ear, "Do you want to go to a real party?"

When Rose heard this, she was delighted and nodded immediately.

Then, she disappeared entirely.

However, everyone was busy looking for Xiang Nan, so no one noticed her.

Rose immediately felt someone holding her hand and pulling her out of the banquet hall.

After leaving the banquet hall, Xiang Nan helped her remove the incarnation spell, and then took her to the third-class cabin.

In the activity room here, people are singing and dancing, celebrating the Golden Night, and the atmosphere is full of joy and liveliness.

This was mainly because the U.S. economy was well developed and growing very fast at the time, so many people got rich. This also made every immigrant there full of hope and fantasies of a better life in the future.

That’s why everyone is so happy, just like the feeling of students getting admitted to universities in the 1980s.

"The party in the first-class cabin is too depressing. It's more lively and cheerful here." Xiang Nan said with a smile.

Rose was deeply infected when she saw the people in the third class cabin, each of whom had a happy, bright smile on their face, singing and dancing happily.

"Come on, let's dance together." Xiang Nan invited with a smile.

"I can't." Rose waved her hand as she watched them swing dancing.

"It's okay, I'll lead you and just dance to the rhythm." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "The dance steps are not important, the key is to be happy."

Hearing him say this, Rose smiled and nodded, then followed Xiang Nan into the dance floor.
