Chapter 402 (2/2)

“That’s easy. The island I bought is just on the side of Evil Dragon Sea Area’s navigation line.” Gao Yanfeng sneered, “If you want to pass by my island, you’ll have to give us some profits. Else, you can open another route and pass from there.”

“You want to profit from my Seaside Strait Manor?” Tang Dong scornfully replied, “I’m afraid you’ll have to pay your life for that.”

“Tang Dong, you want to scare me with your trivial Seaside Strait Manor?” Gao Yanfeng mocked and said, “My Wine Garden is on par with your Seaside Strait Manor. If you really want to lose all decorum with me, then I’ll accompany you just fine. Besides, doesn’t your Tang Family is in quite a difficult time? I know you’re a member of Beijing’s Tang Family, but your Tang Family has lost quite a lot in Guangyang. Your family may have scared me before, but since I know you have the Yaos as your archenemy, would I still fear you? If worst comes to worst, this father can just go to the Yaos.”

“You…”

This was the move Tang Dong most feared. His Seaside Strait Manor may be a little stronger than Gao Yanfeng’s Wine Garden. However, if they were to fight, even if he exterminated him, the Seaside Strait Manor would suffer heavy losses as well.

On the other hand, if he were to use the Tang Family’s forces, it was highly likely that Gao Yanfeng would be forced to act out of desperation and thus pledge allegiance to the Yao Family. The Yaos would certainly accept such a powerful dog as well. Going further, if Gao Yanfeng brought the Yaos to Jingmen Island, it would be harder for his Seaside Strait Manor to survive.

Looking at the two, Fatty Ji chuckled and smiled, “Tang Dong! Gao Yanfeng bought that island, and he wants to establish a large-scale aquaculture around the island. But if your Seaside Strait Manor go through there, won’t he incur some losses? Hence, I suggest that both of you take a step back. Gao Yanfeng must permit you to use the navigational route, and you must give him some compensation. Thus, the issue is solved.”

“What compensation?” Tang Dong asked.

“Gao Yanfeng had already said his bottom line before you came.” Fatty Ji said, “The breeding aquafarm he’s about to build is very big, and the total investment would be in the billions. If your Seaside Strait Manor can compensate him 200 million yuan annually, and give him one dead fierce beast every time you hunt, he will permit you to use the navigational route. How about it?”

“Cut the crap with his unrealistic demand!” Tang Dong was furious and bellowed, “My brothers at the Seaside Strait Manor take great risks going to the Evil Dragon Sea Area and hunting those fierce beasts. Every time they go hunting they will spend many days and are barely able to hunt one. If we have to give one to Gao Yanfeng, doesn’t it mean that we will have nothing to eat? And that 200 million annual compensation, you’re crazy if you think I’ll give you money!”

Banging the table with his palm, Gao Yanfeng stood up and shouted, “You don’t agree? Then your Seaside Strait Manor should just find another navigational route. This father will go back to my island to start building the aquaculture farms.”

“Hey, you two, sit down!” Fatty Ji squinted his eyes and said loudly.

Inside the VIP lounge in the main building.

Tang Xiu accompanied Gu Yan’er tasting various delicious dishes. Gu Yan’er was like a small greedy cat, yelling while sipping two mouthfuls of wine. Tang Xiu had brought two boxes of wine from his villa in South Gate Town, thus, he took out a bottle and poured half a cup for her.

“You can only drink this much.”

“You’re too stingy, Master.” Gu Yan’er’s eyes sparkled and said with a smile, “I drank two jars of Gods Nectar in one breath back then in the Immortal World. You also know about that wine, don’t you? Those two jars were drunk by me alone, and I didn’t even get drunk!”

“This time is different.” Tang Xiu shook his head and said, “You are now currently injured, thus you cannot drink too much. I can only give you half a cup. It’s already extravagant. All right, just drink it and let’s continue eating. I’ll take you out to enjoy the night view.”

Feeling sweet inside, Gu Yan’er gobbled up the half cup of Gods Nectar and then said in astonishment, “Master, the taste of this wine is kinda familiar. Ah, no. It seems to be missing something, though.”

“I made the recipe myself.” Tang Xiu said with a smile, “So it’s natural that you’re familiar with its taste. However, I did substitute some of the materials, though. It’s a lot worse, so it does taste like something is missing.”

Gu Yan’er suddenly understood. She then looked at the packaging box, and then shifted her eyes to the bottle. After that, she curiously asked, “Master, you opened a winery, didn’t you?”

“Smart.” Tang Xiu laughed and said, “I have indeed opened a winery, and it’s very profitable now.”

“True that. A winery opened by Master, how wouldn’t it be profitable?” Gu Yan’er said and let out a sweet smile, “If no one buys it, it means they are stupid!”

“Alright, come. Let’s eat!” Tang Xiu used his chopstick to clamp a dish and put it into Gu Yan’er’s bowl.

Quickly, the duo felt full of food and wine. With Gu Yan’er clutching his arm, the duo then came outside the main building. As they saw the scene outside, Gu Yan’er then smiled and said, “Haven’t you dispersed yet? Well… so many of you returned?”

“Paying respect to Boss!”

Those who came back from the outside saluted reverentially.

Gu Yan’er waved her hand and said, “Off with the ceremony! From now henceforth, you all must behave and listen to my Master’s commands! He is the highest ruler of the Everlasting Feast Hall, and his will shall be your will.”

“Affirmative!” All of them answered again.

Gu Yan’er then said, “All right! All of you are dismissed! Don’t affect the restaurant’s normal operations.”
