Chapter 2542: Third wife

The handover ceremony is very simple, paying money with one hand and people with the other, like a scene of redemption from a bandit’s nest.
After the ceremony, John Davis’s family were left on the airship, and I was invited to have dinner with Carter Horton.
During the dinner, Carter Horton chatted with me a little bit about the past of Ariel City. He especially focused on the development of Ariel City. It is one of the most developed commercial countries in the Hefeng Continent. Although there have been some twists and turns in the middle, the foundation is still there. , In time, after the reconstruction is completed, Erri City will once again leap back to its peak.
I toasted to him frequently, my face was full of admiration, and my mouth was full of applause, but I sneered frequently in my heart: Humph, you old man is so bad! If Shan Yong hadn't told me in advance, I would have been fooled by you.
At the end of the banquet, Carter Horton gave an ambiguous smile and ordered to help me back to the room, but I pushed him away.
I blinked with sleepy eyes, waved awkwardly, and said vaguely: "Okay, don't--don't give it away, I--myself...go back."
Carter Horton raised his chin, and the two waiters who had been pushed away by me greeted me again, helping me from left to right and saying: "My lord, you are drunk, or go to the room that your majesty has prepared for you. Well, there, paradise on earth, everything is there, please keep it to your satisfaction."
"Get up, get up!" I pushed them away again, staggered towards the outside, and drunk as I walked: "I, I'm not drunk, I can still, hiccup, and drink three more-three bottles !"
Along the way, the waiter repeatedly came to help, but was repeatedly pushed away by me. Finally, when approaching the gate of the palace, the waiters no longer supported, but looked at each other helplessly, and said in a long tone: " Respect—send—big—people."
After leaving the palace, I still maintained the staggering appearance, staggering all the way, supporting the wall against the tree, and finally tossing back to the airship base.
Seeing that it was me, the duty officer hurriedly leaned forward and helped me into the airship.
After the staff on duty left, I spit out alcohol, called the chef, prepared a bowl of hot soup, and ordered the waiter to call all John Davis's family.
With my chin squinted, I half-squinted, looking from left to right, and then from right to left, keeping everyone’s looks in mind, and then taking them back one by one, leaving only one that looked about forty or so -Year-old middle-aged woman.
This woman is very well maintained. If it weren't for the crow's feet that can't be erased at the corners of her eyes, I would say it was 27-8.
"Who are you John Davis?" I questioned.
Through the scene of the handover during the day, this woman must have been very impressed with me, knowing that my identity is much higher than hers, so respectfully said: "I am John Davis's wife."
"Which term?" I asked again.
She frowned, but soon let go, and said, "The third term."
"What about the first two wives?" I asked again.
"Both are dead."
Her tone was a little hesitant. I guess, the death of John Davis's first two wives was 80% inseparable from this woman.
But I’m not a detective, and I’m not interested in investigating these messy things. At this time, the chef came with hot soup. I scooped a bowl and just about to drink. I caught a glimpse of the woman staring at me unblinkingly. She looked at the soup bowl in her hand, then put down the soup bowl and asked her: "Would you like to drink it?"
The woman shook her head quickly and bowed her head blushing.
Seeing that her expression was different, I thought about it and asked: "After boarding the airship, have you eaten yet?"
The woman was startled, then shook her head.
I called the chef over: "Why didn't you prepare dinner for them?"
The chef gave a respectful salute and said: "Return to my lord, dinner has already been prepared, but they don't eat it."
I chuckled twice, turned to the woman, and said, "It seems that you were not hungry at that time."
The woman nodded subconsciously, but then reacted, shaking her head frantically with panic.
"Prepare dinner" I raised my head and said to the chef.
"Excuse me, what kind of specifications should I prepare?"
"Popular specifications" I said.
"Yes."
The chef bowed his head.
While preparing dinner, I continued to talk to the woman: "Who is the person in this family at the moment?"
"My lord, it's me."
She hung her head and said respectfully.
I nodded, took a sip of the soup, and said, "Since you are the matter, it is easy to handle. I ask you, are there any members of John Davis's family who are not on the airship?"
The woman's face was hesitant and her eyes rolled.
"Think about it later." I didn't hesitate to put down the soup bowl and said: "Your answer determines the quality of your family's future life and whether John Davis is dead or alive."
The woman was startled and blurted out: "What happened to Davis?"
"He was arrested" I said leisurely: "Now he is locked in the Moonlight City Metropolis Prison."
"He, what crime did he commit?"
"Corruption, bribery, smuggling, human trafficking...There may also be murders, but these are not serious. What really led him to jail was the disclosure of state secrets."
"Leak...State secrets?" The woman said blankly: "But Davis is just a businessman!"
"Can't merchants divulge secrets?" I sneered: "Businessmen can even control the government and decide who is the king of a country!"
Seeing that she was still at a loss, I said lightly: "For example, Master Dewey."
The name of ‘Master Dewey’ is well known to everyone, and this woman is no exception. After hearing the name, she sighed and nodded. Although her eyes were still blank, she could understand the meaning of my words somewhat.
"Your man is not easy. He is a man of several tens of years old. He has exhausted his fortune and started all over again. In a few years, he can return to the top management. Although it is only the top management of the Moonlight City Hotel, it is The treatment they can enjoy is at the level of ordinary nobles."
The woman squirmed her lips and whispered: "Davis's family is just a middle-class nobleman who is at the top..."
"You are right. The highest treatment you can enjoy in Ai Rui City is the relatively advanced middle-class aristocratic treatment, but in terms of Davis's contribution to Ai Rui City, you should have enjoyed more early High standard treatment, do you know why this is?"
"No, I don't know."
"Because Ai Ruicheng discriminates against foreigners."
"But my lord, I...I am a human race!"
"But your Patriarch, your husband, he is an elf" Inhaled the last sip of soup into his mouth and swallowed it slowly, I said unhurriedly: "Your child is also a hybrid of the elf and the human race, but this is it. , Your family’s status in Ai Rui City is only low."
Taking a deep breath, I took a comfortable position, leaned on the sofa, and slowly said, "Let's say, are there any family members who haven't boarded the airship?"
