Lord Preston's Secret Tutor (47 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 150
“The eighteen shipowners who didn’t hire mercenaries—did they really go bankrupt, is what I’m asking.”
At those words, Roman’s expression turned troubled. He straightened his face and replied in a stiff tone.
“I apologize. I haven’t looked into that detail yet. I’ll check immediately.”
Windsor slowly nodded. Yet, he already knew the answer. If all eighteen shipowners had truly gone bankrupt, it would have been widely reported.
Criticism toward the navy would have been far more severe than it currently was, and public dissatisfaction might even have spilled over to the royal family.
But there had been no such major fallout. That meant they hadn’t all gone bankrupt.
Why?
“And one more thing.”
“Yes, please go ahead.”
“I’m also curious whether every pirate crew swiftly revised their strategies.”
“What you mean is…”
Roman trailed off with a dubious look. Windsor calmly added,
“Pirates aren’t a single organization.”
“No. Unlike the navy, they don’t have a central authority. They’re scattered, loosely affiliated groups, each following their own leader. If there are ten pirate crews, that means there are ten separate organizations.”
“I’m wondering if they all chose this swift, decisive approach.”
Cold Male Lead Became My Clingy Husband (Female-Dominant)
Feng Bai Su transmigrated into a matriarchal novel, becoming the sister of the female protagonist and the Seventh Princess of the Feng Ling Kingdom.
After working herself to death in her previous life, finally reincarnating as a princess, she only wanted to be a lazy fish who could eat, sleep, and play.
Until she met the male protagonist from the book, Wei Jing Mo, and he took a liking to her!
Wei Jing Mo is the top young man in Feng Ling City, talented in both appearance and ability, from a prestigious family, with a cold and otherworldly appearance, a figure like the bright moon in the hearts of noble ladies. It was thought that only the most powerful and talented noble lady in Feng Ling City would be worthy of such a brilliant young man. Who knew that this young gentleman would secretly admire the infamous Seventh Princess?
Short scene 1:
Feng Bai Su looked at the young man crying like a pear blossom in the rain before her, and couldn’t help but doubt her life.
Wasn’t the male lead described as a cold and otherworldly figure in the book?
Then who was this poor little thing crying with swollen red eyes and tear-stained face?
Short scene 2:
Wei Jing Mo stared intently at Feng Bai Su who was about to go out, wanting to say, “Be careful on the road.”
Before he could speak, Feng Bai Su suddenly bent down and bit his cheek.
Her peach blossom eyes were full of disdain: “Tsk! You’re so clingy!”
Wei Jing Mo: “…”
A talented fox spirit female lead with a flirtatious appearance but actually abstinent VS A cold-looking but actually naive and clingy little jealous male lead

"Is that so? Those three outlets broke the story first?"
This man is foolish, deceitful, impatient, and prideful. It’s a miracle Evan turns out so fine
"I keep telling you—it has nothing to do with me! Surely you don’t suspect I lea
Fair enough. I believe him. I never thought I’d say that about him, hahah
Could he be referring to his birth? Or perhaps his difficult childhood?
Yes, Jackie😌. You grew up with family amd friends full of love while he lived opposite, without love just enough to eat food everyday
