Return From The Immortal World
Chapter 302: Travelling by Sea
Tang Xiu glanced at the roadster and nodded, turning around the car and then sitting in the front seat. He then looked at Jasmine and said lightly, This “Resorm of yours has a casino as well as this place. Aren't you afraid of local inspection authorities? ”
Looking at Tang Xiu with a strange expression, Jasmine laughed lightly, “Mr. Tang, you don't know, but a big figure who has real power in the local government also has a stake in the resort, from which he can earn a lot of dividends every year. ”
“So so yes!”
Nodding and silently sighing inside, Tang Xiu himself did not feel like saying anything about the situation where the official held the umbrella of protection over the matter. After all, this phenomenon is so pervasive that, let alone talking about foreign countries, it is even a normal matter within the country.
Two minutes later, the roadster had been parked in front of the villa where Tang Xiu was staying.
“Alright, good night, Mr. Tang!” Jasmine said with a smile.
Nodding to her in return, Tang Xiu was about to enter the entrance of the courtyard when he suddenly recalled something, “Ms. Jasmine, you should pay attention to the ocean meteorological news, right? Will there be a storm at sea tomorrow? ”
Jasmine said, “The marine meteorological forecast tonight reported that the sea will have a calm weather tomorrow. However, I think this report is somewhat unreliable due to the rapid climate change in the oceans. It might be calm for now, but then a big storm might happen a while after that. ”
“Are you saying that the sea climate is fickle?” Ask Tang Xiu.
Jasmine agreed with a nod, “That's exactly what I mean!”
Thinking for a moment, Tang Xiu then said in a deep tone, “Because of the changing sea climate, I don't need to stay here for long. Please tell Tom that we're leaving tomorrow morning. Also, we will stay here after taking care of business. ”
“Copy it.” Jasmine nodded.
The next morning, Tang Xiu and the Mo Brothers left Lao Bay Resort along with someone sent by Tom Reggie to escort them to Redsand Bay. By the time they got there, a temporary deck had been built, extending tens of meters from the seawater with luxury yachts parked there.
There, Tom Reggie had long arrived and had been waiting for Tang Xiu. Counting their arrival, he laughed and said, “Everything is set. I've sent people to sail tens of kilometers out to sea and everything is normal. Also, the crew, food, and drinks you need on your journey have all been prepared on board, enough to sail for one week. ”
“Thank you!” Tang Xiu smiled.
“Sama-sama,” Tom Reggie grinned and accompanied the three aboard. When they arrived there, Tang Xiu suddenly asked, “Tom, how much will you sell for this explorer if I want to buy it?”
Shocked for a moment and visibly reluctant, Tom Reggie then slowly said after a few seconds of silence, “I ordered this cruiser from abroad, and the ship designer is the best in the world. The total cost of purchase is 160 million USD. ”
“Sell to Me for 200 million USD,” Tang Xiu said with a smile.
When Tom Reggie's face blinked, he glanced at Mo Awen who was silent at the side, biting his teeth for a while and finally said, “If so, it's yours.”
“Then prepare the sales letters. I will pay you after we return and sign the contract, “ Tang Xiu said with a smile.
“No problem!” The decision was made, Tom Reggie immediately complied happily.
Even though the price offered by Tang Xiu was rather high, he still ate a loss. After all, Tang Xiu won 1 billion at the casino overnight. The money was in RMB, still, about 100 million USD. In other words, Tang Xiu had only spent tens of millions of USD to buy his car.
The ship then sailed after Tom Reggie got off.
The blue sky and the dark blue ocean echoed to each other as it stretched as far as the eye could see. On the front deck of the ship, Tang Xiu stood up, braving the wind and waves of the ocean scene along with the faint hope within. He was hoping to arrive at the Island of the Nine Dragons.
As of now, the island is still under the management of sellers. However, the news came over a month ago that the other party was prepared to move people there, while it was his matter of when he would receive the island. Before this, Tang Xiu had no spare time. Thus, no one should be managing the island now.
‘The Nine Dragons Island is located in a very special location in the sea where only a few people are supposed to be nearby. So I guess there's no one there right now! ‘
After the thought of getting there, Tang Xiu smiled faintly.
Regardless of whether there was no one on the island at the moment, even if there was, he had to expel them from there. He was the owner of the island and no one was allowed there without his permission.
“Bos! Call for You. ”
Behind him, Mo Awen arrived and handed him a satellite phone.
After Tang Xiu picked it up, he then spoke in a deep tone, “Tang Xiu spoke.”
Hearing Gu Xiaoxue's voice, Tang Xiu immediately smiled and said, “It's okay. The ship just sailed. Is there anything? ”
“Yes, Grandmaster! Tian Li, Hao Lei and the other two have returned and informed elder Ji of your orders. Also, they returned and brought a total of 28 billion. Do you want me to transfer the money to your account, or should I wait for you to come back later? ”Ask Gu Xiaoxue.
Tang Xiu thought for a moment and said with a smile, “Save 18 billion and send me 10 billion! It would probably take a lot of money to change the Island of the Nine Dragons. Also, for the remaining 8 billion, after buying ginseng, I will keep it. ”
“I saw. Then I'll have someone send money to your account later. Also, Grandmaster, what do you want me to do to help your transformation of the Island of the Nine Dragons? ” Gu Xiaoxue said with a smile.
Tang Xiu asked, “Does Everlasting Feast Hall have a reliable construction company in Saipan? I'm talking about a very big construction company here. ”
“No, the operation of Master is limited to the previous country only. But I will ask some people in our Eternal Feast Hall and if anyone knows someone there, I will have them look for him for you, “ Gu Xiaoxue said.
“Alright!” Answer Tang Xiu.
After ending the call, Tang Xiu handed the satellite phone to Mo Awen and said with a smile, “I never expected that those four Hong Kong billionaires would actually give us a lot of money. I originally thought that the money would not be enough to reconstruct the Island of the Nine Dragons, but now it seems like the difference will not be too much. ”
Mo Awen's expression moved as he said, “Bos, you just said you're looking for a big construction company here in Saipan, right? Tom is the local snake here. He should know about it. ”
“I did consider this matter, but I don't plan to tell Tom because I'm not sure who he is now,” Tang Xiu said with a smile.
“Bos, there is no problem with Tom himself as it is impossible for him to get along with others given his character. Unless he can learn the skills we've learned, I don't think it's necessary to hide them from him. Moreover, it was about time that many building materials would pass from Saipan once the reconstruction of the Island of the Nine Dragons began. When the time came, it was unavoidable for him to know because he was the local snake here. ”
Tang Xiu was silent for a moment and then slowly said, “Let's wait and see first. We will look for it from the people of Everlasting Feast Hall if anyone among them knows about the big construction companies here. If anything, we don't need to bother him, otherwise, then I'll talk to him again! ”
Mo Awen nodded and no longer said anything.
After two and a half days of travel, the ship finally arrived at the Island of the Nine Dragons at sunset. When the ship stopped at the long marina harbor, Tang Xiu ordered Mo Awen to stay on the ship while he brought Mo Awu to land on the Island of the Nine Dragons. They climbed all the way and quickly approached the majestic palace on the hill.
“Bos, something's wrong!”
Facing the brightly lit castle, Mo Awen's brows furrowed. He and Tang Xiu had sharp eyesight and could clearly see that many people were in a building a kilometer away from them. They also saw several men armed with rifles on the outskirts of the building along with several muscular men in camouflage suits.
Tang Xiu nodded as his face suddenly moved as he was about to reply. He then shouted, “Who is it?”
“It's me, Boss!”
Wang Dong and another man quietly emerged from the boulder and came to Tang Xiu's side. He quickly looked towards the castle and whispered, “Special circumstances happened here, Boss. We can't go in there for a while. ”
“What happened? Who's in the castle? ”Ask Tang Xiu with a frown.
Smiling, Wang Dong said, “We arrived here a few days earlier than you, Boss. By the time we got here, we discovered that a group of pirates had occupied this place and most importantly, they had also kidnapped hundreds of civilians; all of them were being held here. ”
“How many people do these hijackers have?” Ask Tang Xiu.
“There are more than 200 people,” said Wang Dong. “Masing each of them is armed with a gun. Wolf Head had investigated the situation around him yesterday, and a pirate found him, so Wolf Head killed the pirate. He then led us to hover near the nine ports to await your arrival, Boss. ”
“Contact Wolf Head and others. Tell them to come here soon! “Tang Xiu's.
“Copy it, Boss!”
Wang Dong replied and quickly picked up the satellite phone.
Half an hour later, Wolf Head and ten others arrived.
“Bos, has Wang Dong told you the situation here?” Ask Wolf Head.
“She has. Have you clearly asked where this group of pirates came from? ”Ask Tang Xiu.
“I have, Boss. These pirates are people who operate in nearby waters and do not have a fixed base. They had been here for a few years and could barely get enough food and such since there were several ships passing through this area. This pirate group is called the Bloodfish Pirate group and is led by a man named Duffsky — ruthless international criminals. After they arrived at Nine Dragon Island a few days ago, they massacred the people living in the castle and managed to snatch it. ”
