Naming Technique of the Night

Chapter 696: 414, inexplicable familiarity

Thanks to Capri’s high profile, after the storm passed, Qing Chen was able to find out his full name.

Capri Louverture.

Qing Chen thought to himself that it was no wonder he couldn’t guess it; it turned out to be a French-style surname…

North America is a land of immigrants, and encountering a variety of surnames is quite normal…

Now, Capri had become Qing Chen’s puppeteer, he could sense everything, yet his body was completely out of his own control, he couldn’t even speak.

He knew that all of this originated from the weightless silk thread in his hand.

The Taboo.

In a small apartment building on the first floor, Qing Chen sat on the sofa, watching over the still unconscious Yanyan, waiting for her to wake up.

There was a knock at the door.

Qing Chen tucked Yanyan in a bit more before getting up to open the door, which let the cold wind from the street rush in.

Standing at the door was Zheng Yuandong, holding a supermarket kraft paper bag. The Kunlun Leader had changed into a down jacket and was wearing a thick wool hat, appearing a bit like a local from Amsterdam.

In Europe, where he was unfamiliar with everything, Qing Chen naturally contacted Kunlun after Yanyan fell unconscious.

He himself was not too worried, but he couldn’t joke around with Yanyan’s safety.

She had helped him a great deal at sea, yet he couldn’t drag her into a risky adventure. That wouldn’t be right.

In fact, Qing Chen should have contacted Kyushu, because Kyushu’s influence overseas was much greater than Kunlun’s.

But for some reason, Qing Chen still trusted Kunlun a bit more.

“Here, eat something first,” Zheng Yuandong said, handing the kraft paper bag to Qing Chen before walking in and taking off his scarf.

He glanced at the firmly closed inner room and said to Qing Chen, “Who’s inside? The Bass Destroyer from the Future Organization has already reached the Greenland waters, and your previous battle has already spread throughout the Time Traveler circles in Europe and North America. As far as I know, you should have also hired a helper, if nothing unexpected happened, it must be that girl who saved Liu Dezhu and his mother.”

Qing Chen smiled and did not answer.

Zheng Yuandong said, “She is injured and has to lie in bed to recover, but you don’t want to expose her whereabouts and condition, so you keep the door closed.”

Qing Chen’s eyebrows lifted, dealing with Boss Zheng really required utmost caution. The man had high combat power and intelligence, it was hard to know when he might spot some flaw.

Although Zheng Yuandong wasn’t completely right in his guess, he was not far off.

He smiled and said to Zheng Yuandong, “Boss Zheng doesn’t need to worry about these trivial matters.”

Zheng Yuandong nodded, “It seems I guessed right… You really can stir things up. You were somewhat restrained in the country, but in Europe, it seems you wish to turn everything upside down. However, that’s good. Young people are full of energy; it’s better to cause a fuss in a foreign land than to cause trouble at home.”

“What about Boss He?” Qing Chen changed the subject.

“He has been chasing Jindai Warehouse in the Barents Sea all this time, for several days and nights. But at sea, there are too many restrictions, and even A-Class experts can’t use their speed advantage to the fullest, and Jindai Warehouse managed to return to Amsterdam,” Zheng Yuandong explained. “Once back in the city, He Jinqiu will have to restrain himself, otherwise he might get banned from entering any European country.”

Qing Chen thought to himself, that Jindai Warehouse must be in a dire situation…

Zheng Yuandong asked, “Did you kill Capri?”

Qing Chen shook his head, “I swear I didn’t.”

“When people like you swear, it’s usually to cover up the truth,” Zheng Yuandong said deliberately, “You surely didn’t kill him, but his end will certainly not be good. Right now, the Bass Destroyer is anchored just outside Amsterdam Port, but the boss of the future has already landed by speedboat. They didn’t come looking for you, instead they gave the information related to you to Jindai and Deer Island, it seems like they want to see you both suffer losses.”

Qing Chen thought for a moment, “Then their plan will probably fall through.”

He looked at Nedup, Zhang Jian, and Old John across the room, “Are these the crew from the Arctic?”

Qing Chen nodded, “I need to get them new identities that no one can track, to give them a chance to live incognito.”

Zheng Yuandong thought for a moment and asked, “What’s in it for Kunlun?”

Qing Chen said, “I am a member of Kunlun…”

Zheng Yuandong looked at Qing Chen seriously, “The identity of a Kunlun member, for you, is to be used when convenient and discarded when not… But no matter, I can help you, but these three are not Kunlun members.”

Qing Chen thought for a moment and said, “We found a sunken treasure ship at sea named the Dawn, filled with wealth plundered from our home country by foreigners in the mid-19th century… A ship full of gold coins. I know Kunlun is short on funds because it operates legitimately and has expanded greatly. I can give you the coordinates; I’m willing to take 40 percent of the treasure in daylight, Kunlun can have 50 percent, and the three of them can have 10 percent.”

Zheng Yuandong was surprised, “A ship full of gold? Merchant ships able to cross the ocean in the mid-19th century were over 200 tons, the load isn’t small. If it is really as you say, full of such wealth, do you have any idea how much benefit you are going to give to Kunlun this time?”

“It’s okay,” Qing Chen thought for a moment and said, “I can’t salvage it myself, so it’s only fair that I give up some of the benefits. Besides, I need someone to help these three get false identities.”

Not being able to salvage it himself was the most crucial issue; salvaging a sunken ship is a major project, not something that can be done by simply heading out to sea on a crabbing boat.
