Chapter 391 Last Performance and Birthday Gift

The Jordan whom Luke knew the most was the basketball player.

As for women with that name, he only remembered the one from Germany, who had a remarkable bosom.

However, Selina had ruthlessly pointed out before that this Jordan had clearly gotten a b.o.o.b job.

As far as Luke’s keen sight could tell, however, this Jordan Tyler’s D-cups were pretty authentic, so she wasn’t that Jordan.

Even though this hot Miss Tyler had taken the lead, a lot of marines were still staring at Sheerah and Mona.

They were dressed more conservatively, but the marines had been thirsty for too long.

No wonder Sheerah had wanted to bring a capable bodyguard along; it was probably to guard against these marines.

Luke calculated that there were hundreds of soldiers on this boat. If something did happen, he would have no choice except to jump into the ocean with Sheerah.

At the very least, he could swim back to sh.o.r.e with her, and he would definitely be faster than these soldiers.

But looking at the black spot in the distance that was the sh.o.r.eline on the horizon, he knew it was at least ten kilometers away.

He sighed helplessly. It wouldn’t be easy earning his ten thousand bucks.

Sheerah’s team, as well as the hot girl Tyler, were led to a cabin by a commander named Klier.

The four of them were escorted to a s.p.a.cious cabin, which Commander Klier told them that they could use to get ready.

But this was a battles.h.i.+p, and they wouldn’t be taken to the stage until just before their performance; if they wandered around without instruction or a guide, they would be arrested

Stunned, all four of them watched the cabin door close.

Luke p.r.i.c.ked his ears, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

Mona was dumbfounded for a long while, before she exclaimed, “They’re treating us this way?”

Luke kept silent. He simply gave Sheerah, who was looking at him, a meaningful look, before he sat on the small table near the door and closed his eyes.

Sheerah raised her hand. “Mona, this is the Montana battles.h.i.+p, not a stadium like we’re used to. They’re not fans either, but soldiers.”

Mona immediately shut up.

Sheerah was nice to her and paid her well, but she also demanded a high standard of work.

Stupid people couldn’t work for Sheerah for long.

After putting a stop to Mona’s complaints, Sheerah looked at Luke in concern, only to see that the young man seemed to be resting.

However, his left finger tapping his thigh suggested that he wasn’t asleep.

Luke was recalling the information he had read before.

The Montana was an old-cla.s.s American battles.h.i.+p that was still in active service.

It was the last and only Montana-cla.s.s battles.h.i.+p.

The Montana was unbelievably lucky.

Its sister battles.h.i.+ps of the same cla.s.s were dismantled when they were still in the s.h.i.+pyard, and the public had never seen them.

The Montana was the only one that was successfully launched, but the war was over before it took a single bullet.

It had inherited many advantages of the Iowa, the last-generation battles.h.i.+p. It was slower, but it was bigger, had better armor, and had fiercer firepower.

In the decades after the war, the other battles.h.i.+ps were soon retired, but this last battles.h.i.+p was brought back after retirement and came back into service after modifications in 1987.

It was also the only super battles.h.i.+p that was still in service in the whole world.

But this year, it was finally going to be retired.

The Montana would soon arrive at the navy port near Los Angeles, and retire on Long Beach.

Adams, the current captain of the battles.h.i.+p, would retire along with this last battles.h.i.+p after his 52nd birthday.

Why was Sheerah here to celebrate Captain Adams’s birthday?

First of all, she had been invited by a certain big shot in the military to whom she owed a favor, and Captain Adams was that big shot’s good friend.

Secondly, this was the Montana, the last battles.h.i.+p in the world.

It had witnessed the last world war. The doc.u.ment of surrender, which brought peace back to the world, was signed on this battles.h.i.+p.

n.o.body had sung on the Montana since the 1960s.

Sheerah’s performance could absolutely be called “The Last Performance”!

Anyone else who performed on the Montana later would only be performing in a “museum” and not a real “battles.h.i.+p.”

It was also the reason why Luke had accepted the job.

This was the only opportunity to visit the Montana while it was still in active service.

Giant battles.h.i.+ps and cannons were the ultimate dream of men.

Since the Montana was about to be retired, the atmosphere on the battles.h.i.+p was a little lazy. Those who were going to retire were looking forward to it, and arrangements had been made for those who would continue to serve.

Since the Montana was about to be retired, few people would focus on this last battles.h.i.+p — except for those who might be planning something.

Luke fell into deep contemplation.

Tyler, the hot girl, had already rushed into the bathroom to vomit.

She had been dizzy both on the helicopter and on the s.h.i.+p.

After vomiting, she felt a little more clear-headed. Looking at Sheerah, she finally exclaimed, “You… You’re Sheerah? The singer?”

Sheerah smiled politely and said, “Yes, and you are?”

“Jordan Tyler. I… I was the cover girl for the September issue of Sports Ill.u.s.trated,” the hot young woman said embarra.s.sedly.

Sheerah was stumped, but there weren’t many changes in her expression. “Oh, I don’t really read that magazine. May I ask why you’re here?”

Tyler got even more embarra.s.sed, and looked away. “I… I’m here to play the birthday present.”

Sheerah thought for a moment, then instantly understood what she meant.

Traditionally, a hot girl would hide in some gift box or cake and jump out at the right moment, giving the birthday boy a big “surprise.”

It wasn’t unusual, but it was certainly quite rare on a battles.h.i.+p.

“You’re going to play the birthday present for Captain Adams?” Sheerah’s expression was a little strange.

Tyler was at a loss. “Yes. It’s for a… captain?”

Actually, she didn’t even know what a captain really did, and she had only heard someone mention it earlier.
