Chapter 1097 - Interest (2/2)
Tang Xiu stroked his chin and said, “If I didn’t misunderstand, you just had a deal with Angelo Dolan about a diamond mine in Africa, right?”
“Yeah. House Dolan took over a large diamond mine in Africa; it was just recently discovered.” Will Art nodded without hesitation. “The mine has large diamond reserves that it will even impact the diamond market and prices around the world if all of it is mined.”
Tang Xiu’s eyes lit up and he smilingly said, “House Dolan robbed that diamond mine, so why can’t we snatch it from them? You’ve seen my power, and I can tell you that these men of mine are but a few among many others I have. I can dispatch a much more powerful team of cultivators if I want to.”
Will Art stared dumbly and probed. “Mr. Tang, you mean… you’d like to cooperate with us to snatch that Dante diamond mine from House Dolan? And then share the profits and interests later?”
Tang Xiu raised up five fingers and lightly said, “50-50 shares.”
Will Art’s eyes lit up and immediately said aloud, “30-70! You get 70% and House Art will take 30%. What do you think?”
“Like I said, 50-50.” Tang Xiu smiled. “You take it and we can plan the taking over of that Dante diamond mine now.”
“About that… alright, I agree!”
Earning much more was something Will Art didn’t dislike naturally. He was now more concerned about his own life and safety, to begin with.
“Alright, take your men and board my liner!” Tang Xiu waved and said, “I’ll deal with the present problem before finding you.”
“Alright!”
Will Art wasn’t afraid that Tang Xiu would resort to any machinations since such means were not needed. The man would just straightly kill him if he wanted to.
On the deck, Tang Xiu watched Will Art disappear into the cabin of the liner he boarded along with his four men. His eyes slowly shifted to Angelo Dolan’s dead body and he gently kicked its waist with his toe. Then, he coldly said, “Your life, those genetic warriors’ lives, and the 1 billion dollars you just transferred are nothing but interests. I’ll demand the principal debt with your family in the future, so I hope everyone from your House Dolan is living well now.”
After a while, he returned to the liner. As the liner slowly left and sailed away for five-plus nautical miles, those two luxury liners exploded.
Sitting on the cabin, Will Art watched the explosion scene. His heart twitched a few times as his losses this time were just too great—more than the figure he earned in the last five years. Further, he could expect to face some greatly troublesome issues even if he could go back alive this time.
“Sect Master!” Mo Awu quickly came to Tang Xiu’s side and whispered, “We’ve released those four models and some people who have nothing to do with them as per your order. We put them on four small canoes, but the chance of them to land ashore alive is almost zero.”
“They have encountered such a thing, so it doesn’t matter,” said Tang Xiu faintly. “Only, can they row those canoes to the nearby island?”
“The storm will sweep over the waters here in about 20 minutes, and the closest island is about 300 to 400 nautical miles away,” said Mo Awu. “Additionally, there are many sharks nearby, so they are dead already.”
“If they die, then just let them die!” replied Tang Xiu apathetically. “Those women are not chaste, virtuous, nor are they martyrs. Their deaths will rid the world of some disasters.”
Mo Awu looked at Will Art and asked, “Sect Master, what if this guy spreads what we’ve done today? Will it cause trouble for us?”
Tang Xiu shot a look at Will Art, whose complexion greatly changed, and smilingly asked, “Well, will you?”
Will Art raised his left arm and solemnly said, “I’ve already forgotten everything that happened today! I only remember that I got hit by a storm at sea that led to the deaths of many men. Only I and these four men of mine survived, and we were lucky to bump into Mr. Tang who saved our lives.”
“You’re very smart, Mr. Art.” Tang Xiu praised. “I love dealing with smart people, and you’ve also made it up with your money although you’ve offended me. Therefore, I hope we can be friends in the future, and even… partners.”
“That’s for sure!” replied Will Art respectfully.
“You’re a smart man, and you know how tremendous the power I have at my fingertips is,” continued Tang Xiu with a smile. “If I want to obliterate your family, I can just send a group of my men to slay every living thing in your House, be it humans or animals. Hence, you must know what should be said and what shouldn’t.”
“I understand. Please rest assured,” said Will Art respectfully.
“Alright, let’s chat about that diamond mine now!” said Tang Xiu with a happy face. “The mine is said to have large reserves of diamond deposit, so House Dolan will send a large number of elite soldiers to guard it. But what I want to know is, do you have any good idea to snatch this diamond mine?”
Eyes flickered with lights, Will Art said in a deep tone, “There’s no need for you to act, Mr. Tang. Just send someone to help and I’ll secure that diamond mine very quickly.”
