Returning With A Thousand Favors

Chapter 248

But what Marina said just now was actually quite innocent.

When she mentioned sleeping, she truly meant just sleeping.

After all, Simon was the cure for her insomnia.

However, others would certainly not believe that her words were purely innocent.

After settling Edward in a comfortable position, Marina attended to the injuries of Simon and Gavin.

Then, they left Gavin, who had more injuries, to take care of Edward in the cabin.

Meanwhile, Marina brought Simon to meet Black Panther.

As Black Panther looked at Simon standing beside Marina, she squinted her eyes and carefully examined Simon from head to toe several

times.

“I must say, Marina, your taste in men has always been quite questionable. Is this one man really worth risking your life for?” Black Panther was known for being straightforward.

She always said what was on her mind directly, regardless of whether the person she talked about was present or not.

“I really appreciate what you’ve done this time, and consider it a favor owed to you. If you ever need anything in the future, don’t hesitate to reach out to me. As long as I can help, I won’t refuse!” Marina spoke with conviction.

“Well, you came at just the right time. I happen to need your help with something here!” Black Panther’s eyes lit up as soon as she heard those words.

“What is it?” Marina asked.

“I’m getting married, you know. And during a wedding, don’t we need someone to officiate the ceremony? I don’t have many family members, and you’re one of the few friends I have.

“So, I’d like to ask you to be the officiant at my wedding,” When Black Panther said this, she had a hint of bashfulness on her face.

Even Marina found it unbelievable when she saw this scene.

After a while, she said, “Are you really getting married?”

“That’s right. My subordinates have already set up the venue.” Black Panther nodded.

“So, that’s what they were so busy with earlier?” Marina felt a bit dazed.

“Yes, it’s been a while since we had any celebrations on this ship, and just when I managed to defeat Humpback. It’s like a double joy. I plan to celebrate for three days and three nights!” Black Panther exclaimed with great enthusiasm.

“Alright, I don’t have any issues with your request. However, in our customs, the officiant at a wedding is usually an elder from either side of the couple’s family. It’s less common for peers to officiate. Would you mind?” Marina asked.

“Why would I mind? I’m delighted if you agree,” Black Panther waved her hand. Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.

“Well, what about your husband? Does he mind?” Marina asked again.

Simon, who had been standing beside them without speaking, hurriedly turned around to look at Marina when he heard her say “husband.”

Rare frowns appeared on his face, showing a hint of confusion.

Did Marina misspeak, or did he mishear?

Shouldn’t it be “bride” instead?

How did it become “husband“?

“He? I haven’t asked him about it.” Black Panther was at a loss for an answer when she heard Marina’s question.

“Well, you should go and ask him first. Some people are quite particular about these matters. After all, it’s your wedding, and the opinions of both parties should be considered.” Marina spoke up.

“You’re right. I’ll go and ask him.” Black Panther turned and walked away.

As Black Panther turned to leave, Simon couldn’t help but gaze at Marina.

“Did you say something wrong just now?” Simon lowered his voice.

“What’s wrong?” Marina looked confused.

“Did you just say, his… husband?” Simon asked.

“I’m not wrong. I meant to say her husband.” Marina nodded.

Simon’s expression froze.

“Black Panther is a girl, didn’t you realize?” Marina remembered to explain at that moment.

Simon was too stunned to speak after hearing Marina.

Black Panther was a girl!

How could he tell?

Nobody in the world could tell Black Panther was a girl from her appearance!

“Most people are a bit confused when they first see Black Panther. I didn’t realize the first time I met here too, but you’ll get used to it after seeing her a few more times.” Marina patted Simon’s shoulder.

Simon still remained silent.

Got used to it after seeing her a few more times?

Would that really solve the problem?

He felt that no matter how many times he looked at Black Panther, he wouldn’t be able to convince himself.

Just as Black Panther reached the doorway, she bumped into Quantum.

When the two of them collided, Quantum staggered back several times from the impact.

In contrast, Black Panther remained steadfast in her position.

Simon noticed this scene and couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow.

Who would believe that this person was a woman?

You’re here at the right time..) have something to ask you.” Black Panther’s eyes immediately lit up when she saw Quantum.

“Let’s put that aside for now. I feel like your subordinates have gone mad. You need to take control of them!” Quantum quickly interjected.

“What happened to them?” Black Panther furrowed her brow upon hearing this.

She had already instructed her subordinates to respect her future husband.

How could anyone dare to defy her orders?

“They insisted on taking me to bathe, giving me a scrub, and even measuring me for clothes.

“I mean, why would I take a bath during the daytime? And what’s the point of making clothes for me?” Quantum complained.

“Oh, they wanted to make you new clothes,” Black Panther realized what happened when she heard Quantum.

“I already have clothes to wear. I don’t need new ones. Tell them they don’t have to be so polite,” Quantum replied, still not understanding Black Panther’s words.

“You don’t want to wear new clothes?” Black Panther furrowed her brow.

Didn’t people on land wear new wedding attire when they got married?

“I don’t like it!” As a veteran geek, he preferred wearing slightly wrinkled clothes that he was already wearing.

It gave him a greater sense of security.

“Alright. We don’t have so many rules here. If you like wearing your clothes, go ahead and wear them,” Black Panther was easy to talk to, especially when it came to her partner.

As long as he didn’t bother her too much, she would usually comply with his wishes.

“Please let your men know not to chase after me anymore. I’ve already run halfway across the ship, and it’s exhausting,” Quantum said as he walked into the room and found a chair to sit on.

“Alright, I’ll tell them not to disturb you anymore,” Black Panther responded promptly.

“Thanks.” Quantum had run a bit too fast earlier, and now he didn’t even have the strength to lift his hand.

“You don’t need to be so polite with me.” Black Panther chuckled and licked her teeth.

What?

Quantum looked at her in confusion.

Why did she suddenly become so easygoing?

Could it be because he had saved her life on the deck earlier?
