Chapter 761 I’ll Take Care of I (2/2)
Li Du pointed to him and said, ”F**k you, you bastard! You robbed my harvest!”
The youth displayed the attitude of a rascal, sneered, and said, ”Robbed you of the harvest? What have you harvested? You mean I took your black gold abalone? Is there any evidence?”
”You want to play dirty, don't you?” said Li Du with a sullen face.
The young man with the nose ring impatiently pushed him away and said, ”Who is playing dirty? That's the way the black gold abalone is harvested. It belongs to whoever gets there first, newbie. Don't you even know the rules?”
It was easy to argue about because working underwater was not as transparent as working on land. The water was opaque, and anyone could do anything in the water without being seen by witnesses.
Hans floated up to breathe, and when he saw them arguing, he swam over and cried, ”What's the matter?”
Brother Wolf was also aware of the conflict. The SeaStar 60 sailed nearby with a shirtless Godzilla and Big Quinn standing in the bow, staring at the young thief menacingly.
The young man bravely pointed to Li Du and said, ”Don't think you can do anything just because you are in a big group. I'm not afraid of you.”
He pointed to the goggles on his forehead.
He had a camera on his goggles, and an underwater video camera attached to his diving suit, one of the standard pieces of equipment for black gold abalone fishermen.
This set of tools was specially designed to deal with people's disputes under water. It would be recording throughout the whole process as evidence to prove the ownership of the black gold abalone.
According to the rules of black gold abalone harvesting, it belonged to whoever reached for it first, not to the person who saw it first.
The youth with the nose-ring had swum over to the black gold abalone before Li Du and immediately reached out for it, as the video would show. If Li Du had a conflict with him, he would be punished if the man reported him to the fishing and hunting bureau.
So many bureau officers patrolled the sea, not just to monitor harvesting activities, but to keep the peace.
Li Du knew this and waved his hand to stop Godzilla and Brother Wolf, who were about to enter the water. He sneered and said to the young man, ”Okay, you are amazing. I'll see how amazing you can be!”
Seeing that he dared not provoke him, the young man knocked on the goggles in a triumphant tone and said, ”It's the camera which is amazing. You be careful. Don't let me catch you doing anything fishy.”
After saying this, he dove back into the water and raised his middle finger to provoke Li Du before leaving.
Hans was very angry and said, ”You can't put up with this. You must finish him!”
Li Du asked him to go back in the water and said, ”I'll take care of it myself. I'll make him regret provoking me!”
He swam to the boat and said to Brother Wolf, ”Get me the diving thrusters.”
This was a part of a yacht, like a small gas tank with a propeller in the rear, which rotated quickly when turned on, propelling the owner forward.
He would be careful not to get too close to the bottom of the sea though, because the propellers spun so quickly that they would stir up the sediment on the seafloor.
That was what Li Du did. He drove the thruster to the spot where the black gold abalone was found and ran it with all his might.
As the propeller spun wildly, the mud, gravel, dead fish, shrimp, seaweed, and sediment on the seafloor was stirred up.
He turned around with his propeller, and the water soon turned cloudy.
As the water became cloudy, visibility became nearly nonexistent.
The young man with the nose ring was gleefully anticipating getting the black gold abalone when his vision suddenly became so confused, that he could see nothing clearly, so he rose to see what was going on.
