"Hello!" As Evelyn Wilson approached, John Brown took the initiative to greet her.
Evelyn Wilson gracefully said, "Hello, long time no see."
John Brown winked at Martin Miller and laughed, "Yeah, but I really didn’t expect to see you with Martin this time."
Martin Miller awkwardly smiled, while Evelyn Wilson chuckled and said, "Martin said there’s a ferry over here, so I came along to take a look. It’s perfect since I have nothing to do these days, having a bodyguard along for fun isn’t bad either."
Just then, Gina Lopez walked over to John Brown’s side, and John quickly said, "Martin, let me introduce you, this is your sister-in-law Gina Lopez."
Martin Miller had been paying attention to Gina Lopez from the moment she walked over. Excitedly, he said, "Hello, sister-in-law, I’m a good buddy of James. Haha, it’s my first time meeting you, and I didn’t bring a gift, sorry about that." Martin Miller hadn’t expected to see John Brown or his wife on the cruise, so he wasn’t prepared with a gift like last time.
Gina Lopez graciously shook hands with Martin Miller and said, "Hello, nice to meet you."
Martin Miller chuckled and said, "Sister-in-law, you’re really pretty, our boss is truly lucky."
Gina Lopez laughed softly and said, "Your girlfriend is very pretty too."
Martin immediately felt guilty and looked at Evelyn Wilson, while Evelyn laughed and said, "We aren’t in that kind of relationship yet."
Upon hearing this, John Brown felt reassured. Though Evelyn Wilson wasn’t Martin Miller’s girlfriend yet, she clearly had a good impression of him, or she wouldn’t have said that.
Gina Lopez and Evelyn Wilson introduced themselves to each other, and Evelyn Wilson joked, "Now I have company, so you don’t have to accompany me."
Martin Miller laughed, "Alright, then. I’ll trouble sister-in-law to take care of Evelyn."
Martin Miller and John Brown stepped aside, and Martin winked at John Brown, whispering, "Boss, this one’s the genuine article, right?"
John Brown nodded and said, "Absolutely genuine."
"That’s good, I was worried I’d misidentify again. Wait, why are there so many beautiful women?" Martin glanced over at Gina Lopez and noticed there were three more girls standing with her, all greeting Evelyn Wilson.
John Brown laughed, "Those are friends of Gina and me."
"Oh, all beautiful girlfriends... I must say, the sister-in-law is really trusting."
John Brown didn’t want to dwell on this topic, so he changed the subject, "Be a little more careful, I fear that someone might take notice here."
When it came to such matters, Martin Miller immediately became serious, "I felt it too. Holding such events in a place is really dangerous. I don’t know what the organizers were thinking."
"Hopefully, nothing like that will happen. I’m here for a vacation, just want to relax for a couple of days."
"Me too, damn it, if anyone ruins this wonderful vacation, I’ll definitely deal with them."
The two didn’t say much more. As the strongest members of the Hawk Squad, they had great synergy without needing to say much, knowing how to work together when the time came.
Martin Miller laughed, "Come on, let’s introduce me to your friends and sister-in-law’s friends."
Getting closer, John Brown introduced each of Gina Lopez’s friends to Martin Miller. Introducing Sarah Utah and Sunny Nguyen was fine, but when he got to Lucy Campbell, Martin squinted, showing a very surprised expression.
No one here could recognize the disguised Lucy Campbell, but Martin’s vision level was exceptionally good. Even though he hadn’t experienced as many thrilling events with Lucy as John Brown had, he had seen her multiple times during missions. As a man, seeing a beauty like Lucy Campbell, it was impossible not to take a few extra glances, so he had a deep impression of her. Combined with John Brown saying her name, he naturally recognized that she was the number one beauty in SSUP Country.
However, he didn’t show any additional reaction. Since Lucy Campbell was disguised, she obviously didn’t want to be recognized, so why would he stupidly give it away?
Evelyn Wilson had also seen Lucy Campbell, but only a few times and without much interaction. So at this moment, she didn’t recognize this person as the well-known Lucy Campbell from Capital of SSUP or SSUP Country.
After some small talk, Martin Miller and John Brown walked over to an exhibition booth, lowering their voices, Martin asked, "Boss, what’s she doing here?"
"She has a company in YODC City. I work in her company, and she just happened to be in YODC City these days."
"Oh, she actually set up a company in YODC City—business truly is worldwide. It’s good that she’s in disguise; otherwise, she might be more coveted here than those valuable antiques."
"Yes, that’s indeed the case."
Just then, John Brown’s phone rang. He answered, "Sandra, what’s up?"
"Brother-in-law, you all should come over too, we came here to watch the performance, it’s truly wonderful."
John Brown chuckled and said, "Alright, I’ll let your sister know."
After hanging up the phone, James Brown laughed and said, "Let’s go, let’s go see the show."
"Boss, who else is coming?"
"There are quite a few people, your sister-in-law’s twin sisters, the flight attendant you saw that day, and my daughter."
"Your daughter? Haha, boss, you’ve already brought your daughter home."
"What about Emily Berns?" Martin winked at James Brown.
"She let me have the child, she’s not in a position to take care of the kid any longer."
"And your sister-in-law isn’t mad at you?"
Martin gave James Brown a thumbs-up and said, "Boss! You really make me admire you. Suddenly a child appeared out of nowhere, and your sister-in-law didn’t mind, even helps you out. That’s incredible, truly incredible."
James Brown grinned with pride and said, "Of course, your sister-in-law is very kind-hearted."
Everyone arrived together at the performance hall and soon found Emily Lopez and the others. However, introductions were not convenient here, so everyone started watching the show first.
The show was fantastic, featuring magic tricks and acrobatic performances. Especially the acrobats, each one with exceptional skills, thrilling and entertaining, making all the spectators exclaim with enjoyment.
What left James Brown the most impressed was a Western acrobatic act showcasing pure strength. A tall, burly white guy stood motionless while people climbed onto him, creating a human pyramid with twenty people on him by the end.
Those twenty people were Westerners, not particularly small, each weighing at least sixty or seventy kilograms. Calculating that, it amounted to over a thousand kilograms, more than a ton. With over a ton of weight pressing on him, he could still walk with them on top, demonstrating immense power.
Except for the one at the bottom, the two people on the second layer also displayed great strength. With over a hundred kilograms on each of them, they both had to support five to six hundred kilograms.
Another acrobatic act featured throwing knives, performed by a twenty-something blonde woman. Her knife-throwing skills were truly magical, aiming with absolute precision from ten meters away.
There was even a person tied to an upright spinning wheel, with the woman throwing knives. Despite the spinning, she hit targets around the person’s body without causing harm, forming a human-shaped pattern when the person was untied.
James Brown and Martin sat together, exchanged a glance, and shook their heads after watching the woman’s knife performance. Both were skilled in knife-throwing, with good accuracy, but achieving what the woman accomplished seemed impossible.
If this woman were a criminal, she’d be extremely dangerous—those knives are not just for show; she could kill with them, more effective than firearms. On this cruise ship, firearms are prohibited, making her presence even more threatening.
An hour of performances quickly concluded as James Brown and the others exited the theater, with Charlotte and the others bubbling with excitement discussing the recent performances.
"Hey, Big Bro Johnson, when did you arrive?" Emily Jenkins noticed Martin for the first time and enthusiastically greeted him.
"Hello, Emily, are you having fun here?" Martin was also quite impressed by the flight attendant with big charm and greeted her cheerfully.
Emily Jenkins giggled and said, "Yes, Big Brother Brown brought me here, otherwise I wouldn’t have the money for such a nice cruise. Yay, you met Sister Gina, and this time I finally don’t have to hide it anymore."
"Hide what?" Gina Lopez asked puzzled.
Emily Jenkins stuck her tongue out, feeling she slipped up, and James Brown laughed, "Last time Martin and the others visited YODC City, I went out with them for some errands and bumped into Emily. I told her not to mention it to you that I was out with Martin and the others."
Emily Jenkins nodded repeatedly, let out a couple of long breaths, and with a relieved expression said, "Yes, yes, it was driving me crazy. I really admire myself for keeping such a secret all this time without spilling it."
Gina Lopez gave James Brown a sidelong glance, then said to Emily Jenkins, "Emily, if something happens again and you help your Big Brother Brown hide it from me, I won’t invite you to dinner at my house anymore."
Emily Jenkins stuck her tongue out and looked at James Brown, "I’m saying, you couple shouldn’t drag me into your stuff all the time, one tells me to say it, the other tells me not to. Reverend, heaven help me, may I never encounter such suffocating situations again."
Everyone was amused by Emily Jenkins’ antics and burst into laughter.
