On the way back to the castle, happiness still filled Tang Xiu’s mind. He had, after all, been stuck in the Skin Strengthening stage for a long time and finally had a breakthrough now with the help of the Supreme Emperor Purple Qi. His strength soared by several times as his overall strength became twice as powerful than before at the least.
Prior to this, when he first met Viviani, he felt that he wasn’t her opponent. After all, she possessed an unusual terrifying aura. But now, he had the confidence to fight her even if Viviani was an expert martial artist. He might not be able to beat her, but he still could injure her if he paid a price.
_‘If I were able to absorb this Supreme Emperor Purple Qi every day, wouldn’t I probably be able to advance to the peak level of the Flesh Strengthening stage?’_
Tang Xiu then made up his mind to cultivate in this place every day before he left, striving to have an early breakthrough to the peak level of the Flesh Strengthening stage.
Three days later, just as Tang Xiu finished drawing the sketch for the reconstruction of Nine Dragons Island, the cruise liner that carried the residents of Southern Bird Island back returned.
“Awen, accompany me to Saipan. We might need Tom Reggie’s help to reconstruct Nine Dragons Island,” said Tang Xiu in a deep voice while taking the reconstruction drawing.
“We can trust him, Boss. I will fix him myself if he dares to mess up,” said Mo Awen with a nod.
Tang Xiu smiled, “Let’s go! The rest of you will stay here. I planned to look for a construction team in Saipan, but I changed my mind now. I called a friend of mine who’s in the real estate business in the mainland, and he has agreed to bring his construction team here. I hope Nine Dragons Island’s reconstruction can be carried out smoothly.”
Two days later, the cruise liner docked at Saipan port.
After assigning the docking procedures to the crew, he and Mo Awen then headed to Lao Bay Resort.
“Hey, I’m here.”
“I’m in Seaview Villa #17.”
“Got it!”
After contacting Long Zhengyu, Tang Xiu immediately went to Seaview Villa #17. Tang Xiu gave Long Zhengyu a big hug after seeing him and then said in a deep voice, “Let me introduce you. He’s Mo Awen, my man. Awen, this is Long Zhengyu, my friend.”
The two men shook hands as Mo Awen then immediately said, “Boss, Tom in on his way. He should be here soon.”
“Then I’ll wait for him. Anyways, you wait for him outside, Zhengyu and I need to discuss something!”
“Alright!”
Immediately after, Tang Xiu and Long Zhengyu went inside. After taking a seat, Tang Xiu straightforwardly said, “Tom Reggie is Mo Awen’s friend, a fierce and experienced character who has gone through life and death situations. He’s also this Lao Bay Resort’s majority shareholder and kinda has a big influence in Saipan. He can help with the reconstruction of the island I bought.”
Squinting his eyes, Long Zhengyu said, “I can let him buy some shares.”
“I know you will make money, but I’ll be struggling and short on it. Nine Dragons Island’s reconstruction is a huge project, and I have to invest a huge sum on it.”
After hesitating for a moment, Long Zhengyu then seriously asked, “Tang Xiu, we’re brothers nevertheless, but I still wanna know what kind of concept you have devised to reconstruct Nine Dragons Island?”
Tang Xiu handed the reconstruction design plan he brought to Long Zhengyu and said, “Nine Dragons Island already has some buildings, but I need to expand the area and build more buildings—which has a lot of special requirements. Have a look, you’ll get it.”
Opening the reconstruction design plan, Long Zhengyu spent a few minutes observing it as a burst of shock suffused in his eyes. After a long while, he then looked at Tang Xiu, yet the shock still hadn’t left his expression, “I wanna know something. Why are you spending so many funds in this project?”
“This place is gonna be my domain later. A domain that truly belongs to me, where I’m the highest existence there,” Tang Xiu laughed.
Long Zhengyu forced a smile and said, “Say, Brother Tang, you want to found a state, eh!”
Tang Xiu laughed, “Build a fart country? Bah, it’s just dozens of square kilometers!”
Long Zhengyu asked, “Tang Xiu, I know you have a lot of money, though I don’t know how much. But you don’t have enough, right? Also, this project is rather huge, so how much do you need to invest for the initial period? First of all, us being brothers aside, business is still business. The best I can do for you is by taking only the minimal earnings in the construction project, but I can’t provide the funds for the advance payment. You already know that my Long family has nearly spent all our funds in the joint cooperation project.”
Stretching out a finger, Tang Xiu lightly said, “I’ll give you 10 billion in advance for you to manage. Contact me again when the money runs out.”
Astounded, Long Zhengyu asked in astonishment, “Where did you get so much money from?”
“I bumped into some trouble in Hong Kong but also got an unexpected fortune. I won’t tell you the details, though. In short, I can transfer you the money anytime, but you must guarantee the quality of the project,” said Tang Xiu with a smile.
“Sure!” said Long Zhengyu solemnly.
“I won’t have much time to stay and inspect the reconstruction of Nine Dragons Island. So if you also don’t have much time, it’s best to send your most trusted man to take the helm and stay there. Also, you don’t need to worry about trouble since some of my men will be responsible for the security there,” said Tang Xiu with a nod.
