Faced with Alvin's relentless questions, Matt helplessly covered his forehead and said, "Can I negotiate?"
Alvin shook his head firmly. "No!
If you want me to stay out of this, you have to agree to my conditions...
Don't think I was joking about what I said earlier. That spaceship belongs to my friend. I'm serious..."
Alvin looked at Matt's rueful expression and said, "Buddy, we're friends, but I have to tell you that my friend is a genuinely good person...
He never blames anyone. He just quietly does his part to help the ocean!
His family has poured huge sums of money into places like the Gulf of Alaska, the Gulf of Mexico, and many other areas that have suffered marine ecological disasters.
But you may never even have heard of him..."
Matt frowned in disbelief. "How could someone like that not be well known?"
Alvin gestured for Jessica to pour him a glass of whiskey, then sighed at Matt. "Buddy, if you don't believe me, you can check with Professor Wales.
I don't want to argue about who's right and wrong...
Nemo II is my friend, and Danny clearly isn't.
He was involved in the theft of the Dragon Bone from Osborn Tower, and now he's stolen my friend's spaceship—and even Julie's Anti-Gravity Coating..."
Matt took off his glasses in distress, revealing his gray eyes, and said with a bitter smile, "Danny didn't do those things..."
Alvin waved a hand. "But he had a duty to stop those people from causing damage!"
Matt helplessly shook his head. "You're right, which is why Danny is willing to pay compensation...
He only wanted to borrow the spaceship. He wanted to find out what had happened in Kunlun.
His fellow disciples wouldn't tell him anything...
Danny thinks something major must have happened
