Chapter 373 Quarrel

Chapter 373 Quarrel
The time is getting closer, and Li Ke will come to pick him up soon.Anna walked with Hesta through the pavilions where she had come.

Anna introduced some of her favorite collections with great interest, and Hesta listened with disinterest. She held seven books borrowed from Anna's study in her arms, and was pushed forward by Zero.

"You're very sleepy, aren't you?" Anna asked suddenly.

"...a little," Hesta managed to pull himself together, "Maybe the conversation density in the morning is too high for me, and I need to rest."

"You should take the initiative to tell me so I can pick another time to tell you how rare these things are."

"I'm just tired..." Hesta frowned, "It's not that I didn't hear what you were saying."

"Really, can you repeat the origin of this dagger, after all, I just told you about it."

"..."

Hesta looked at the blade glowing blue in front of him with a delicate expression.

"You really should learn how to lie." Anna admired Hesta's embarrassed face, "Just sit there without saying a word at a time like this, and don't take the initiative to hit the knife."

Without saying a word, Hesta slowly leaned back in the chair.

"It comes from the Southern Zhou Dynasty, about the Jianxi period of the Zhou Dynasty. This dagger is very finely crafted. There are glass patterns between the handle and the blade, and the bottom of the handle is inlaid with turquoise. This design was very popular in the Pingjing area at that time, but in the end Archaeologists unearthed it in an ancient family tomb in the snow field of the North Fourteenth District. It is said that when people first pulled the dagger out of the black lacquered sheath, there was no rust on the knife."

"Sounds like something like this should be in a museum in the [-]th arrondissement...why here you are."

"Good question," Anna said softly, "because during the blackout era, most museums in the world were looted to varying degrees."

"... I think generally this kind of cultural relics should be returned to the local museum afterwards instead of taking it for themselves."

"No one can keep it for themselves, it just goes through me."

The doorbell rang, and Zero ran to the door, asking who it was, Rico's voice came from the microphone.

Anna glanced at her watch, "Your friend is on time."

"...Thank you for your hospitality these few hours, I have learned a lot."

"You're welcome."

Hesta looked at the book in his arms, "Do you usually stay in your study?"

"Not necessarily, maybe I will go to the deck and look around, depending on my mood." Anna said with a smile, "If you want to find me, just leave me a note and just slide in along the door of the room. We live in the same room." The suite is very convenient.”

"Ok."

"Wait, Jane, I have a curious question..."

"I may not be able to answer," Hesta said softly, "What?"

"The night Dietrich was found in the theater, you and your mates laughed at Rob's speech - what were you laughing at?"

Hesta fell into deep thought. She recalled for a long time, and finally recalled the moment Anna described.

"Oh, you said that time..." A mocking smile appeared on her face again, "I knew someone when I was at the reserve base..."

"Your friend?"

"Thinking too much," Hesta said in a low voice, "I don't know if he has heard the name of the Briar Monk or Rob Griller before, but he and these people are a perfect match. We guess, if He is also on this ship at the moment, and he will definitely rush to the stage and cry with Rob in his arms, maybe it will be more touching than meeting father and son."

The door opened at this moment, and Li Ke was about to enter, but was blocked by Zero.

"Jane!" Rico waved at Hesta, "I'm here to pick you up."

Hesta pushed the wheelchair forward a few steps, then turned around, "Then, I'm leaving."

Anna broke into a smile.

……

"How about it, is it fun in Anna's place?"

"Hmm... quite unexpected."

"Let me see what books you have borrowed."

In the elevator, Lico picked up several books that Hesta held in his arms. They were all covered with kraft paper without exception, and only the title of the book was written on the spine.

""Male Awakening", "Gender Lies", "Glory of the Fathers"... What are you reading here? Are these books given to you by Anna?"

"I borrowed it from her."

Li Ke immediately became vigilant, "...Who is this Anna? I don't think Qianye cares too much because she trusts her so much. Could it be that she is pulling you to preach?"

"Probably not, I'll talk to you in detail when I get back to the room... Are you all right this morning?"

"I'm not sure, I just woke up." Li Ke frowned, "There is no signal right now. When I woke up, Su Lei wasn't in the room, and there was no voicemail on the landline."

The elevator door opened, and the two returned to the cabin deck. There was no one in the aisle, and there was silence everywhere.

"...Then it should be fine," Hesta whispered, "I want to go back and lie down for 10 minutes."

"Okay, I'll pinch the watch for you, do you want to eat something first, I put your lunch in—"

Suddenly, Rico stopped in his tracks.

Hesta also noticed that something was wrong. Some quarrels came from the other end of the corridor. Although the content could not be heard through the door, the tone of the quarrels was very intense.

"It seems to be the suite of the sisters from yesterday...isn't it?"

"Go and see."

Rico pushed Hesta and started to run. The voice was indeed coming from the apartment where Agnes and Meyer lived. Rico began to slam on the door loudly, "Is anyone there? Open the door!"

The quarreling stopped almost immediately, and Hesta put her ear against the wall every time Rico knocked on the door. She heard some doors opening and closing, followed by a series of footsteps, and Agnes appeared in the Behind the glass door of the suite.

"...It's you," her voice trembled slightly, "Who are you looking for?"

"I'm not looking for anyone, I just heard something wrong with the voice, so come and have a look."

Rico and Hesta looked at Agnes' feet at the same time - she didn't even wear shoes, and ran over barefoot.

"Who are you arguing with?"

"No, I'm watching a movie... Everyone should be going to eat now. I came back first because I felt a little uncomfortable."

"But we heard voices from men."

"It must be because my stereo is too loud," Agnes smiled, "Thank you for coming here."

"Why are your eyes red?"

"I said I was watching a movie," Agnes lowered her head and rubbed her right eye with her hand, "It's really all right."

"Do you mind if we go in and take a look?"

"...Of course not," the smile on Agnes' face disappeared, "You can't just barge in."

"That's not what you said last night, you and Meyer—"

"So you are here to ask for trouble?" Agnes suddenly became tough, "If you keep pestering me, I will call someone."

The quarrel attracted the attention of others, and the doors of several suites were opened, and everyone poked their heads out to look at Hesta and Rico.

"Rico." Hesta pulled Rico's sleeve, "Let's go back."
