A few days later, Chen Chen arrived at Walvis Bay once again.

This time, besides him and Cheng Cao, they were also accompanied by the local Namibian police chief, Maddaloni, and the captain of the Symphony of the Seas.

Chen Chen and his group got off the car on the dock and walked toward the large, mountainous s.h.i.+p that was not far away.

Under the cloudless clear sky, the huge cruise s.h.i.+p was still quietly moored by the dock. What was startling were the black burn marks from the explosions that were like scars on the body of the s.h.i.+p.

On the surface of the exquisite hull, they seemed exceptionally prominent.

“Mr. Chen Chen, this s.h.i.+p doesn't belong to me personally, but since the day she went out to sea, I've been her father. To me, she's just like my daughter…”

The white-bearded captain pleaded earnestly. “The Symphony of the Seas is now covered in scars. I hope that when you rent it, you can do a little light maintenance on these scars. You don't need to spend too much time or money, a simple treatment is fine. For example, applying a little waterproof glue on the blemishes and…”

“No problem, Captain Bernard.”

Chen Chen was so amused that he could only nod. “Believe me, I'll treat her well.”

“Thank the heavens, you'll surely be a kind master.” When the white-bearded captain heard this, he sighed in relief.

“Sorry, but this s.h.i.+p is sealed off.”

However, just as they reached the entrance of the Symphony of the Seas, they were blocked by two European men dressed in black. One of them sized up the group, then said something indiscernible into his headset.

“These are the people from the European Federal Bureau of Investigation. Play nice as much as you can.” The Captain reminded Chen Chen in a low voice.

“I'm the chief of the Walvis Bay Police Station. We need to check out something on the s.h.i.+p. I hope that you can accommodate us.”

The black man who had remained silent all this while now spoke in a dignified tone as he showed his identification.

“All of you are going into the s.h.i.+p?”

When he heard this was the police, the European man lightened up a little, but still said, “There are too many of you. Only three can pa.s.s at most.”

“Very well, in that case, I, Chief Maddaloni, and Captain Bernard will go.” Chen Chen waved his hand and made the choice.

Seeing that they did not object, Chen Chen let Cheng Cao and the rest remained where they were while he moved on first.

On the s.h.i.+p, Chen Chen ignored the facilities on the main deck and immediately headed below. With Captain Bernard guiding the way, they reached the engine room.

“This machine that looks like a firing pin is the generator of the Symphony of the Seas.”

Captain Bernard pointed to the colossal component that was four to five meters high and dozens of meters long. “Although it looked different from diesel generators on land, there's absolutely no problem with its power output.”

“I know. That's a Leroy-Somer LSA62 generator with a power of 20,000 kilowatts,” Chen Chen replied without having to think.

“Huh, you've researched engines before?” Captain Bernard asked, astonished.

“It's because I've just visited the Meyer s.h.i.+pyard two days ago.”

Chen Chen smiled as he explained, “My customized cruise s.h.i.+p will also use this generator in the future.”

“I, I see…”

Captain Bernard gave a dry laugh and said nothing else.

The three of them did a quick tour around the bottom section. Chen Chen observed carefully and only nodded in satisfaction after he had walked around the entire generator room.

The three main generators and the two backup generators were all intact. The combined power of the five generators would reach a hundred thousand kilowatts.

One hundred thousand kilowatts of power meant that the power generated would be one hundred thousand kilowatts per hour. Even if these generators could not generate electricity at full power throughout the day, they could still generate at least ninety percent.

This level of power generation was one-tenth the efficiency of the power plant Chen Chen had used in Cape Town.

Although it was only one-tenth, Chen Chen only had five days to absorb the electricity from the power plant in Cape Town. That was far more restrictive compared to this s.h.i.+p, where he could absorb electricity anytime he liked.

Just when Chen Chen was about to disembark, his cell phone rang suddenly. Chen Chen turned it on to find that Little X had sent a message.

“Heh.” When he saw the message from Little X, Chen Chen chuckled, then immediately dialed Cheng Cao's number.

“Ask everyone from the Black Security Service to gather at the dock.”

After giving that order, he hung up.

“Mr. Chen Chen, what's going on?” On one side, Chief Maddaloni raised an eyebrow. He knew what sort of people were in the Black Security Service.

“Nothing much. Someone's just trying to trap me.” Chen Chen shook his head.

“What, someone dares to trap you?”

When Chief Maddaloni heard this, he instantly said angrily, “I'll call my officers from the police station!”

“No need for that. I'll settle this myself.” Chen Chen smiled peculiarly as he stopped Chief Maddaloni from making the call.

What Chen Chen did not say was, if Chief Maddaloni called his officers over, the officers would end up having to help the other party.

“Very well.”

Seeing this, Chief Maddaloni said hotly, “If there's any way I can help, just let me know.”

After making sure that the generators were working fine, Chen Chen and the rest made their way to the deck and strolled around. Chen Chen only suggested that they disembarked from the s.h.i.+p after Cheng Cao called to inform him that those from the Black Security Service had arrived.

The three of them quickly left the Symphony of the Seas.

However, just as they got off the s.h.i.+p and reached the dock, Chen Chen immediately saw twelve white Caucasians dressed in suits approaching him aggressively.

“Are you Mr. Chen Chen?”

The man at their head wore a pair of dark sungla.s.ses, looking like Agent Smith from The Matrix.

At this moment, he was walking to Chen Chen as he flashed his identification. “We're from the European branch of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. There's a case that requires your cooperation. Please come with us.”

As he spoke, two large, imposing European men came up from behind, ready to lead Chen Chen away. One of them was even holding handcuffs.

“Hold on!”

Chief Maddaloni hurried forward and said in shock, “What are you doing? Mr. Chen Chen is our guest here in Namibia. You have no right to do this!”

“Sorry, but we're asking Mr. Chen Chen to cooperate with the investigation on behalf of the Federation. Those who aren't involved should stay out of this.” The man in sungla.s.ses pushed Chief Maddaloni aside with an icy expression. Chief Maddaloni only flushed red but dared not retaliate.

“Just a minute.”

Chen Chen spoke breezily, but they did not seem about to stop. Just as the two men had moved to Chen Chen's side and were about to seize him, several firearms popped out from behind Chen Chen and promptly pointed at the group of federal agents.

It turned out that, at an unknown time, Brando had arrived with the thirty members of the Black Security Service.

“Click click click!”

Thirty Glock 17s were aimed at the twelve agents without any hesitation. The federal agents were stunned. In a conditioned reflex, they drew their pistols and faced off against Brando and the others.

All at once, the atmosphere at the dock turned into one of taut hostility…
