Chapter 1152 Businessman (2/2)

Li Du had brought the drinks over from his house. He had prepared them before

heading to South Africa. There were still a couple of bottles left in the black hole.

Sophie did not follow suit this time around. After taking in a whiff of the smell, her face

paled and she looked close to fainting.

Li Du burst into laughter and quickly went forward to support her. ”Can't take it? Then

forget about it. This is Chinese medicine, very effective against the heat.”

Sophie shook her head. ”I have medicine for heat stroke. The smell of this tonic is too

overpowering.”

The five animals had to consume the Huo Xiang tonic drink. They were used to living in

America and their bodies were more suited for the northern seasons. Currently, their fur

was like winter wool coats.

To help them against the heat, Sophie had already trimmed their fur on the plane.

However, that was not sufficient. Li Du grabbed them and forced their mouths open to

drink the tonic.

Ah Meow started whining after drinking and grabbed her own neck as she squatted on

the ground. Opening her big mouth, she started shrieking, Oww Oww, and tried hard to

force the drink out.

Ah Ow wore a suffering look: What did I do? Why are you punishing me like this?

Honey badgers hated the bitter taste more than anything. After all, they loved honey.

Hence, when Ah Meng drank the Chinese medicine, it looked insane as it started

spinning round and round its tail.

Ah Meng bumped into a box in carelessness. It glared at the box, then grabbed it and

started to yank it as though the box had offended it or as though it was venting its anger

at the drink. Li Du's father tried to drag the box away, but Ah Meng continued holding

onto it and tearing at it.

They had landed in Sydney. First, Brother Wolf brought Ivana to the doctor to evaluate

the progress of her recovery. That was necessary for them to prepare for the upcoming

surgery.

Li Du brought the rest to Sydney to look for a hotel. Just like the plane, the hotel had

also been arranged by JP Morgan Chase. It was one of the five-star hotels the bank

owned. There was a discount for VIP clients who stayed in that hotel.

Harry Winston Inc. had a branch office in Australia, and the southern hemisphere

headquarters were in Sydney. The regional directors and managers had come to

welcome and receive them. After all, Li Du was now the second-in-command in the

Harry Winston Group. They wanted to get on his good side.

However, Li Du did not feel like entertaining them and hence, he rejected their

invitations and offers to show him around. Instead, he brought his parents to stay in the

hotel provided by the bank.

The hotel was situated near the beach. Peering out from the window, they could see the

white sand and expanse of clear water. The view was stunning.

Just as they arrived at the hotel, Li Du got a phone call from Jesus. He asked, ”Hey,

Christ, what's up?”

Jesus said, ”Have you had another conflict with George Anthony? He has been trying to

get information on you from everywhere. He even contacted some treasure hunters to

have a face-down with you.”

Without hiding anything, Li Du told him all about what they encountered in Mexico and

what he did next.

Jesus sighed. ”You are both stubborn. All right, based on my understanding of George,

he sees money as his life. Losing so much money this time, he definitely won't sit back.

You be careful, he is not easy to deal with.”

Hearing that, Li Du laughed. ”Let him bring it on. He doesn't know who he has

offended.”

Having had a discussion with Remonin, Li Du did not see George Anthony as a big

threat anymore.

Remonin was now in desperate need of funds and had even started to scheme. He

asked Li Du if he had any enemies. He would use his people to get rid of Li Du's most

troublesome enemies.

Of course, Li Du would not agree to anything like that. However, it still gave him a

feeling of power.

As for the Anthonys, Li Du did not see them as a problem. He had never intended to

clash with the duo, and neither party actually benefited from the conflict.

Now that Li Du had become a businessman, he felt that if there was no profit in having a

conflict, it was better not to let it arise. Earning money was more important to him.

Fighting was only children's play.
