Chapter Thirty: Group Bath

  "Sorry, Jenny, we were so caught up in our conversation that we didn't notice how you felt. Happy birthday, Jenny."

  When they returned to the hall, those gangsters seemed to have reached an agreement. At least they looked very "harmonious".

  This made Catherine somewhat curious about what kind of person Old White was.

  Could it be Godfather?

  No, she had never heard of him before.

  Taking advantage of the moment, Catherine quietly came up beside Jenny.

  "Jenny, what did your grandfather actually do for work? It looks very... high-end."

  Jenny smiled.

  "My grandfather is just a director of United Tech Systems, oh, and he also has some shares in Raytheon. Actually, most of the time he's flying around the world... He just got back from Vietnam a few days ago. My father has been trying to persuade him to take care of his health. He's already over 60."

  "Arms dealer..."

  The answer is on the tip of one's tongue.

  Catherine's guess was overturned.

  Or rather, Old White is not the Black Hand, but a being with an even greater background than the Black Hand.

  What is an arms dealer?

  Some people say that for a long time, the arms dealers have been in control of US policy, and this country has even served the arms dealers... although it's an exaggeration, it illustrates the status of arms dealers in the United States.

  Catherine seemed to have put her mind at ease a little.

  At least Jenny was not involved with the Mafia.

  But Catherine seemed to have some vague concerns.

  In March of last year, 3,500 U.S. troops landed in Vietnam, an event many media outlets called the start of the Vietnam War, and with it came a flood of profits for arms dealers.

  United Technologies and Raytheon are both major defense contractors, producing everything from firearms to aircraft to tanks.

  However, if we're talking about the most famous one, it's probably still Lockheed Martin, but this future world's number one arms company was at that time a secret "Skunk Works" factory, and wouldn't be established as an actual company until 1995.

  Of course, apart from military products, they also have many civilian products, such as microwave ovens, which were invented by Raytheon.

  What could bring arms dealers and mafia together?

  Catherine thought for half a day and finally came up with a word: smuggling.

  That's right, it's smuggling!

  A smuggling negotiation is being held here!

  It is very likely that the Gambino family was the general agent responsible for smuggling arms and transporting goods to places like Africa or Vietnam.

  After understanding the truth of the matter, Catherine always felt a little muddle-headed.

  What a joke, this is the plot of Inception!

  Although she really wanted to make a sarcastic comment, Catherine thought about it and decided against it.

  This meal was a struggle for Catherine, but the others seemed to have no issues, and they left after dinner. Normally, there would be a dance afterwards, which apparently wasn't something the mafia wanted to do.

  It was Saturday on April 8th, 1961. In other words, tomorrow would be a rest day too, so everyone stayed overnight.

  Although tomorrow is Easter, it seems like nobody is really interested in this holiday.

  But inside the villa, there seems to be a bit of festive atmosphere, at least Catherine saw several decorated eggs, which are Easter symbols.

  Perhaps thinking it would be fun, Lily and her friends strongly requested that everyone sleep together, so they set up a futon in Jenny's room.

  To be honest, this place doesn't actually need it because Jenny's bed can fit several people on it without any problem.

  "Maybe we should go take a bath first?"

  Aida proposed it.

  "Appeal!"

  Lily said first.

  "Perfect, there's a big bathtub over here, how about we all go together?"

  Jenny seems happy too.

  In fact, she herself doesn't often come here, only occasionally staying over. After all, this isn't her house, but Old White's house. As for her, she lives with her parents.

  The bathroom is okay, but not luxurious, can only be described as comfortable and clean. After all, shares cannot be eaten as food, dividends are available, but reinvestment is more important, at least for Old White, it seems so.

  This large bathroom, as Catherine looked past it, was somewhat like a bathhouse and swimming pool, only the water depth was probably only about half a meter to one meter, roughly 100-200 square meters in size, barely enough for swimming.

  "Wait... together?!"

  Catherine finally emerged from the shadow of "Black Hand" and "arms dealer", but after noticing the fact in front of her, she was still frightened.

  "Bang."

  That was Lily locking the door.

  "Alright, now this is our world!"

  She jumped excitedly, then took off her clothes and put them in the locker room, and walked into the bathtub naked.

  "Hurry up, Kate."

  Ada was already naked and helped Catherine take off her clothes.

  Catherine hesitated.

  "This..."

  Although I became a girl and made friends with girls, but making myself so intimate with them...

  "What's wrong, Kate? Weren't you more open-minded before? Even Mr. Corner and my fingers think so."

  "But that's two different stories!"

  As soon as Aida mentioned that matter, Catherine's face turned red.

  "Kate, hurry up~"

  Lisa also smiled and took off her evening dress in the dressing room, then walked out.

  "But..."

  No but then, watching Catherine dawdle along, Lily giggled and came up from the pool, then "helped" her take off her clothes.

  "Wow, Kate, I didn't know you had such a great figure!"

  This is a joke, Catherine's figure, they all know, after all, she also has an identity as Lisa's model.

  Catherine's face turned red at once with such frankness.

  "Looks so pretty in pink! Kate, don't you have any hair on your body yet?"

  Lily gazed at Catherine and then looked back at her own prairie.

  "I'm only 13! And I still have more than a month before I turn 13!"

  Western children look more mature than Eastern people.

  Catherine looks a bit childish, but her figure is already very good. Of course, practicing ballet is also one of the reasons for this.

  Ballet can shape the body's curves, but it also has many side effects, such as thickening of the thighs, toe deformity or other symptoms. However, none of these side effects appeared on Catherine. Catherine had been very conscious of her body from the beginning, and it seemed to be due to physical reasons as well. In short, she looked perfect.

  "It seems like you've grown up a bit more~" Lisa looked at Catherine, then extended those legendary lost arts - the Grabbing Milk Dragon Claw Hands.

  "Ah..."

  The bathroom was filled with the joyful voices of girls.

  ……

  The struggle in the chest, less than D and greater than D, has always been evenly matched...

  By the way, seeking ticket support...
