Chapter 302 (2/2)

After Tang Xiu took it, he then spoke in a deep tone, “Tang Xiu speaking.”

A voice belonging to Gu Xiaoxue then transmitted from the phone, “Grandmaster, are you on the way to Nine Dragon Island? I didn’t disturb you, did I?”

Hearing Gu Xiaoxue’s voice, Tang Xiu immediately let out a smile and said, “It’s okay. The ship just set sail. Is there something?”

“Yes, Grandmaster! Tian Li, Hao Lei and the other two have come back and told Elder Ji about your command. Also, they came back and brought a total of 28 billion. Would you like me to transfer the money to your account, or should I wait for you to come back later?” asked Gu Xiaoxue.

Tang Xiu thought for a moment and said with a smile, “Keep 18 billion and send me 10 billion! It would probably take a huge sum of money to transform the Nine Dragon Island. Also, for the remaining 8 billion, after buying the ginseng, I’m going to keep it.”

“I see. Then I’ll have someone send the money to your account later. Also, Grandmaster, what do you want me to do to assist your transformation of the Nine Dragon Island?” said Gu Xiaoxue with a smile.

Tang Xiu asked, “Does the Everlasting Feast Hall have a reliable construction company in Saipan? I am talking about a very large construction company here.”

“No, Master’s operations were only limited to the country before. But I’ll ask some people in our Everlasting Feast Hall and if anyone knows someone there, I’ll have them look it for you,” said Gu Xiaoxue.

“Alright!” Tang Xiu replied.

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 so much cash. I originally thought that the money would be insufficient to reconstruct Nine Dragon Island, but now it looks like the difference won’t be too much.”

Mo Awen’s expression moved as he said, “Boss, you just said you’re looking for a big construction company here in Saipan, didn’t you? Tom is the local snake here. He must know about it.”

“I did consider this issue, but I’m not planning to tell Tom as I’m not sure of who he is exactly as of now,” said Tang Xiu with a smile.

“Boss, there’s no problem with Tom himself since it’s impossible for him to mix with others considering his character. Unless he can learn the abilities we learnt, I think it’s unnecessary to hide it from him. Besides, it’s a due course that a lot of building materials would pass from Saipan once the reconstruction of Nine Dragon Island commenced. When the time comes, it’s inevitable for him to know about it since he’s a local snake here.”

Tang Xiu was silent for a moment and then slowly said, “Let’s wait and see first. We’ll look for it from the Everlasting Feast Hall’s people if there’s anyone amongst them who knows about a large construction company here. If there’s any, we don’t need to bother him, if not, then I’ll talk to him again!”

Mo Awen nodded and no longer said anything.

After two and half a days of voyage, the ship finally arrived on Nine Dragon Island at sunset. As the ship stopped at an extended marina port, Tang Xiu ordered Mo Awen to stay aboard while he brought Mo Awu to land on the Nine Dragon Island. They climbed all the way and quickly approached the palatial manor on the hill.

“Boss, something’s not right!”

Overlooking the brightly illuminated castle, Mo Awen’s brows deeply furrowed. He and Tang Xiu possessed keen eyesight and could clearly see that a lot of people were in the building a kilometer away from them. They also saw several people armed with guns in the periphery of the building along with some brawny men in camouflage attires.

Tang Xiu nodded as his face suddenly moves when he was about to reply. He then shouted, “Who is it?”

“It’s me, Boss!”

Wang Dong and another man quietly appeared from a huge boulder and came to Tang Xiu’s side. He quickly looked toward the castle and whispered, “Special circumstances happened here, Boss. We can’t go in there temporarily.”

“What happened? Who are those inside the castle?” asked Tang Xiu with a frown.

Forcing out a smile, Wang Dong said, “We arrived here a few days earlier than you did, Boss. By the time we got here, we found that a group of pirates had occupied this place and most importantly, they also kidnapped hundreds of civilians; all of them are detained here.”

“How many people do these pirates have?” asked Tang Xiu.

“There are more than 200 people,” Wang Dong said. “Each one of them is armed with a gun. Wolf Head has investigated the situation in the vicinity yesterday, and a pirate found him, so Wolf Head killed that pirate. He then led us to hover nearby the nine ports to wait for your arrival, Boss.”

“Contact Wolf Head and the others. Tell them to come here immediately!” said Tang Xiu.

“Copy that, Boss!”

Wang Dong replied and quickly took a satellite phone.

Half an hour later, Wolf Head and the other ten arrived.

“Boss, has Wang Dong told you the situation here?” asked Wolf Head.

“He has. Have you asked clearly from where this group of pirates came from?” asked Tang Xiu.

“I have, Boss. These pirates are the ones who operate in the nearby waters and have no fixed base. They have been here for several years and are barely able to get enough food and such because there have been few ships passing through this area. This pirate group is called the Bloodfish Pirate group and is led by a man called Duffsky—a ruthless wanted international criminal. After they arrived at Nine Dragon Island a few days ago, they massacred the people who stayed behind in the castle and successfully seized it.”
