Chapter 462

Seeing that Lu Ao was completely focused on the gold, Song Zhou asked, "What do you want for lunch?"

Lu Ao flopped onto the iron-framed bed beside him. "Meat. With so much gold, it feels like I need to eat big mouthfuls of meat to match this haul—and drink big mouthfuls of wine too!"

"Sure, I'll arrange it all." Song Zhou patted his thigh. "Stay here a little longer. I think they'll be calling for departure soon. I'll go start the boat first."

Song Zhou had already heard people on the other boats asking where the two of them had gone. They were probably getting ready to set off.

Although the boats in their fleet were spread somewhat far apart, they still had to keep pace with one another. When it was time to leave, everyone had to leave together.

By now, it was time to set sail again.

Lu Ao had no objections. He waved Song Zhou off and continued examining the gold they had salvaged the previous night.

With Song Zhou's abilities, let alone piloting a boat like this, even carrying it across the sea would not pose a problem. Lu Ao felt completely at ease leaving the boat to him.

Song Zhou went out to pilot the boat, and the cabin fell quiet at once.

Lu Ao stayed in the cabin, inspecting his gold piece by piece. There was too much of it, and the pieces were too large, so he checked them with great care.

He spent the entire morning inspecting it. At lunch, even when they had steak and fish steaks, Lu Ao barely ate anything. He hurriedly finished his meal and wanted to return to the cabin to inspect the rest of his gold.

"Wait!" Song Zhou helplessly grabbed his hand. "No nap today?"
