CHAPTER 1190: CHAPTER 1188: FULL MARKS FOR SHOWING OFF

In fact, Wang Dadong was overthinking it. Not to mention him, even if everyone on this yacht were combined, they wouldn’t warrant America deploying an aircraft carrier against them.

So what’s going on here? Let’s rewind time to the moment when Lin Shiyan kissed Wang Dadong.

Although Lin Shiyan’s room and Daphne’s room were far apart, their doors were directly facing each other, and this scene was perfectly witnessed by Daphne.

Daphne’s azure eyes narrowed slightly.

Though the business empire Daphne currently possesses wasn’t built by her own hands, she managed to stabilize it single-handedly and kept it from collapsing, indicating that she’s no simple woman.

She never was someone willing to admit defeat, especially to a woman inferior to her.

Closing the door, Daphne used the satellite phone in the room to dial a number.

"Andrew, is there anyone in the military we have a good relationship with?" Daphne said blandly into the receiver.

"Madame, Commander Wilson has always maintained a good relationship with our company and has invited you to attend his banquets many times, though you’ve turned him down each time," a voice replied with utmost respect on the line, belonging to Daphne’s butler.

"Then tell Wilson I’ll agree to have dinner with him, but he must come to pick me up personally," Daphne said calmly.

"Okay, I’ll immediately inform Commander Wilson. I bet once he hears you’ve accepted his invitation, he’ll send a plane to pick you up right away."

Daphne snorted, "A plane? No, I don’t want a plane."

"Then what do you mean, madame?" The butler was puzzled, thinking wasn’t a plane the fastest option?

"Just tell Wilson that I want to see his sincerity; he naturally knows what to do!" Daphne said before hanging up.

After hanging up, a mischievous smile appeared on Daphne’s face. Woman, since you overestimate yourself, I’ll have to make you back off.

The man Daphne had her eyes on, no other woman should even think about getting.

A few minutes later, the butler contacted Wilson.

As the Navy Commander, most people couldn’t get Wilson’s private phone number, but Daphne was not most people.

"What? Daphne agreed to dine with me? Amazing, where is she? I’ll send someone to pick her up immediately," the forty-four-year-old Wilson exclaimed with excitement.

The butler sent Daphne’s satellite location signal to Wilson and said, "Madame mentioned that you need to pick her up personally and can’t use a plane; she needs to feel sincerity."

Wilson was silent for a moment, then said, "Alright, I understand!"

Upon learning that Daphne accepted his invitation, Wilson instantly rejuvenated and immediately gave orders to his subordinates.

"Adjust course, full speed to the Indian Ocean!"

"Commander, we haven’t received any assignment to go to the Indian Ocean?"

"Now there is."

A giant in the ocean suddenly woke up from its lazy state.

Immediately, it began riding the wind and waves.

The splashes along the way soared several meters high.

This was an America’s Kitty Hawk-class aircraft carrier!

The Kitty Hawk-class aircraft carrier is a traditionally powered supercarrier series of the American Navy, a significant upgrade from the Forrestal-class aircraft carrier, and also the last traditional-powered aircraft carrier series in America.

The "Kitty Hawk"-class has an overall length of 323.6 meters, a width of 39.6 meters, a draft of 11.4 meters, a standard displacement of 61,174 tons, and a full load displacement of 83,573 tons, with the ship carrying 5,882 tons of aviation fuel. Its main engine has 4 steam boilers from Westinghouse, with a total output power of 280,000 horsepower, a maximum speed of 30 knots, and an endurance of 12,000 nautical miles at 20 knots.

Its flight deck is 318.8 meters long and 76.8 meters wide, with 18 floors from the bottom to the bridge!

Indeed, to demonstrate his sincerity, Wilson mobilized an aircraft carrier to pick up Daphne!

"Commander, isn’t this inappropriate?" When they learned that Wilson moved the carrier just to pick up a woman, his subordinates were all shocked.

They thought Wilson’s actions were excessively exaggerated; after all, this was an aircraft carrier, representing the ultimate power of the navy, and shouldn’t be casually mobilized.

"What’s inappropriate about it; do you know how much tax Daphne’s company pays to our country annually? Over ten billion! As a military officer, we naturally have to do our utmost to protect our taxpayers; this is entirely to ensure Daphne’s safe return to America! I believe even the President would agree with my actions!" Wilson said authoritatively.

"Do we need to inform the President about this?"

"No need to inform the President, I’ll explain to him personally!" Wilson said with an indisputable tone.

Clearly, even if Daphne pays over ten billion in taxes to America annually, the military would never deploy a carrier just to escort her.

Wilson did this entirely out of admiration for Daphne, almost misusing his official capacity for personal gains.

"Madame Daphne, don’t we have a yacht?" Lin Shiyan frowned slightly, her feminine intuition telling her that things might not be so simple.

"Yachts are not safe; they can easily capsize if caught in strong winds and waves. In fact, I had no choice since Wilson insisted on picking me up," Daphne said with a smile.

Just as Daphne finished speaking, a speedboat arrived beside the Queen, and a tall, middle-aged man boarded the Queen.

The American man was in a military uniform, and the insignia on the uniform clearly showed that his rank was not minor.

"Daphne, I’m not late, am I?" Wilson said heartily, extending both hands towards Daphne.

Daphne then embraced him.

This is customary among American people and is a perfectly normal thing.

After the embrace, Daphne said to everyone, "This is Commander Wilson."

However, this couldn’t surprise everyone more, as having an aircraft carrier come to pick up Daphne was already enough to make everyone astonished.

"Wilson, these are my friends who also want to go to America. I wonder if it’s possible for them to come along with me?" Daphne asked Wilson with a smile.

"Of course, not just anyone can board the aircraft carrier, but since they are your friends, Daphne, naturally we’ll give some face; they’re welcome to visit the carrier," Wilson said, looking at the people on the yacht.

"I wonder if the girls here are willing to honor us?" Daphne also looked at the people standing on the deck curiously and asked with a grin.

Unexpectedly, Wilson was indeed willing to deploy an aircraft carrier for her.

This extravagance definitely deserves a perfect score.

Upon hearing they could visit the carrier, everyone showed an expression of extreme fascination, even Lin Xiao and Cao Ying, along with the other girls, were visibly thrilled.

That’s an aircraft carrier; ordinary people might not have a chance to see one in a lifetime, and not only could they see it, but they could also visit it.

Anyone would have to be foolish not to seize such an opportunity.
