Chapter 761: I’ll Take Care of It
Translator: Nyoi-Bo StudioEditor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
In the fishing industry, taking what belonged to others was common.
There was an old saying in China that fame portended trouble for men just as fattening did for pigs. The black gold abalone fishermen guarded against each other as if they were guarding against thieves.
Every day, the fishermen paid attention to the other fishermen's harvest. If one of them had many harvests continuously, they would realize that the other party had found an abalone group, and then they would keep an eye on them and follow them.
As a result, many black gold abalone fishermen used small boats because they were hidden from view and difficult to detect.
As for safety, they were familiar with water, and the waters where they caught the abalone were often very close to shore. Using a small boat could help ensure their safety.
Unlike the industries that Li Du had worked in before, black gold abalone harvesting was tiring and dangerous, but the fishermen in the field were all wealthy.
They didn't sail yachts and big ships because they didn't need to, not because they couldn't afford them.
For example, when he first bought the SeaStar 60 and arrived at King Island, Cruz noticed it and laughed at him, and said he was a rookie, telling him that no one would go out on a yacht to catch black gold abalone.
Li Du did not understand this in the beginning, because he had just arrived on the island, and not many people had noticed him.
Now they had sold a large amount of black gold abalone at the market and had attracted a lot of fishermen's attention. This time when they went to sea, someone followed.
It was an emergency, and Li Du was not ready for it. Brother Wolf looked at him tentatively. He shrugged and said, ”Let's just continue. We'll harvest ours and ignore them.”
When he reached the jet-rock area, he released the little bug and sent it to the bottom of the sea. He found the location of the previously remembered black gold abalone group and signaled Brother Wolf to anchor there. He then put on his diving suit and jumped into the water.
Seeing this, the other boats also anchored. The surrounding sea looked as though they were throwing dumplings into the water. The splashes indicated there were people diving into the water.
Li Du found a black gold abalone and took Hans to it. He then went to the next one.
At this time, someone was swimming by Li Du's side. He noticed the man but didn't think much about it. His eyes were on the little bug, and he was concerned about whether there were underwater cracks around the black gold abalone.
When he found that the target was safe, he swam across with confidence.
Shortly after that, Li Du swam towards the big black gold abalone, and the person who was with him suddenly accelerated, swam ahead of him, and hugged the big black gold abalone.
Li Du was shocked at first, and when he realized what was going on, he was angry.
He swam to the man with a cold expression and gave him a push. The man pretended to ignore him. At the same time, he quickly took out an abalone card and hung it on the black gold abalone.
According to the rules of the trade, this meant the black gold abalone now belonged someone.
Li Du was very angry. The man's behavior was too disgusting. This was considered robbery. How would he be able to endure this anger?
He glared at the man in the water, but could not open his mouth. He could only push him.
The other party was tired of it, so both of them swam to the surface.
Taking off his goggles, Li Du said furiously, ”Hey, d*mn you, what were you doing?”
The diver who had snatched his black gold abalone was a red-haired white man of his age with a tattoo and a nose-ring, like a buffalo shown on television.
His temper was much worse than Li Du's. He glared and shouted, ”What? Get out of here, and don't disturb me from harvesting black gold abalone!”
