Li Du hated when people used excuses such as, ”I like to be straightforward,” or ”I like to speak the truth,” to hide their rude language.

The boat owner's attitude and words made him angry. ”Don't jump to conclusions so quickly. It is just catching some lobsters and crabs from the sea, right? This is a piece of cake. Let's have a bet if you don't believe me,” he said coldly.

”How do you want to set up the bet?”

”I see you have shrimp cages and crab cages on your boat, right? Give us an hour, we'll go to sea, and an hour later we'll come back with lobsters and crabs,” said Li Du.

The owner of the boat shook his head firmly. ”No, I will not take any chances with you.”

”We'll stay where you can see us the whole time. Isn't that safe? You can see us on the water,” said Li Du.

Hearing this, the owner of the boat thought for a moment and said with a knowing look, ”You want to deploy a hanging cage in the sea to catch lobsters and crabs? Well, that's a good idea, but you're not going to do it.”

Hanging cages for lobsters and crabs was common in the industry, with boats sailing out to sea, dropping crab cages, and waiting for lobsters and crabs to get in on their own.

However, this was not a simple task. First, it tested people's judgment and experience. It was necessary to find a place where there were lobsters and crabs, and it was better to find somewhere that also had a large amount of shrimp. That way, the shrimp would attract the lobsters and crabs.

Second, you had to have enough attractive bait and enough time to attract lobsters and crabs into the cage.

Li Du's idea was great. The problem was that the owner of the boat knew he had just arrived at King Island and did not believe Li Du knew about the distribution of the fish in the area.

Even if he had a rough idea of the fish's distribution, an hour was not enough time to harvest unless the cage was placed right in front of the lobster and crab.

”Let's just do it,” Li Du shrugged. ”Let's leave the harvest to God. Or are you afraid to take the bet?”

The owner of the boat was offended by his words and said, ”Sure, let's bet. What's are the stakes?”

”If you win, I'll pay double the price of the trip. If you lose, the cost remains the same, but you must apologize to my friend,” said Li Du.

He patted Brother Wolf on the shoulder and added, ”Apologies to him for underestimating his abilities. You should not doubt him.”

Without hesitation, the owner of the boat readily agreed. ”Well, come on, then!”

He just had to apologize if he lost. If he won, he could make a ton of money.

Besides, he didn't believe he was going to lose!

Both sides signed a written pledge. The owner of the boat dragged out the lobster and crab cages in the cabin and handed them to Li Du, telling him, ”Be careful handling them. These are new.”

There were many of them. It was a large yacht and a commercial fishing boat more than ten meters long, with lifeboats.

Li Du put down the lifeboat and then went down onto the sea with Brother Wolf and Hans.

As the lifeboat rowed out, brother Wolf said, ”Sir, the bet is not fair.”

”Fair enough,” said Li Du. ”He is sure to lose, and then he'll need to apologize to you. I'll not let my people to be doubted by others in front of their children.”
