Chapter 976 No Mood to Enjoy (1/2)

The difference was more than the difficulty of getting food and the attitude towards it.

There was so much more!

When Li Du returned from the Hadza tribe, the lion hunter saw that he was not

interested in hunting. After they spent another day and a half in the wild, the lion hunters

had a new idea.

He said, ”Li, I'm sorry, but I should have asked you for your opinion beforehand. I

shouldn't have taken you directly to hunt. It is obviously not something you love to do.”

Li Du was not a man to be ungrateful. He hastened to say, ”You are too polite, man. My

fiancé and I are not really interested in hunting wild animals. Nevertheless, this trip on

the grassland opened my horizons. I am very grateful for your warm hospitality.”

Sophie also said, ”Yes, sir, your hospitality is wonderful. I now know that there is such a

wonderful, rich life outside the United States. The African tribes have such a complex

culture!”

The lion hunter laughed happily and said, ”You can sure talk. You speak very well, and I

have to treat you well. You are not interested in hunting, but perhaps you would like

diving?”

Li Du was not interested in diving either. He was about to say so when the lion hunter

said, ”I”ve asked around. You've been diving in Australia for a long time, right?”

Since the other side had done research about his past experience, Li Du could not

refuse.

He could have explained that the purpose of diving in Australia was to find black gold

abalone, but the lion hunter might not necessarily be convinced and would be more

likely to think they were looking for a reason to refuse his offer.

Even if he understood Li Du, diving together would be fun for him if he had something to

grab off the coast of Africa. Therefore, Li Du decided to accept the invitation of the lion

hunter and go diving.

The lion hunter was so enthusiastic about him that he overdid it, but that was

understandable.

Cole introduced Li Du as a representative of Harry Winston that came to check on the

African diamond market, which made him almost a representative of the US diamond

market, given Winston's position in the US diamond jewelry industry.

As all knew, the United States was the world's largest diamond market. Although the

United States produced almost no diamonds for commercial purposes, Americans

bought 40% of the world's gem-grade diamonds every year. Any owner of a diamond

mine in Africa would want good relations with the American market.

Driving away from the savanna reserve, Li Du noticed they had a nice piece of lion skin

in their car.

This was a so-called wildlife reserve, and this was the result of the South African

government shouting slogans to protect Mother Earth. Li Du could only shake his head.

However, tens of thousands dollars for a lion's skin was not bad business for the

government. If they used the proceeds to protect the grasslands and their animals, the

sacrifice would be worthwhile. Sadly, with his knowledge of the South African

government, Li Du doubted that would happen.

They were going to a diving site a little way across the prairies, not far from the lion

hunter's

mines. Both places were in the Zulu natal, but one inland and one by the sea.

At the end of the helicopter ride, a stretch of the Cote d'Azur came into view. This was

their destination, the South African port city of Durban.

Durban was known in Zulu as eThekwini, which means ”in the harbor”.

As the name suggested, the city had an excellent deep-water port, which was an
