Chapter 544 - Pirates
Everyone at the scene immediately began panicking.
Haber immediately pointed at Young Master Lee’s bodyguard and said, “Who allowed you to bring a gun onto this ship? I dare you to try to pull the trigger, the reputation of the Blackwater Corporation will be tainted for thousands of years!”
The bodyguard sneered. “Just with the level of security you guys have, how could I be qualified to be from Blackwater if I can’t manage to bring up my gun? Let me introduce myself to you, I used to be a secret agent and retired, but my skills are still with me, and my actions right now are just me trying to do my job. The reason Blackwater is so reputable in the industry is that we would do everything in the interest of our employer. If you can even criticize this, then I really don’t know what to say.”
Haber then looked over at Young Master Lee and scolded, “You can’t afford to lose?”
“It’s not that, but I’m afraid that I will have to delay my payment. I need to take these company shares back, and in the future, I will slowly repay the money I lost.” Young Master Lee showed his palms and shrugged his shoulders. “What do you think?”
Someone at the scene snorted, “You have a gun pointed at him, does he even have a choice?”
“Anyway, I’ve really learned a lot today. The guy brags about how awesome Three-Star is in the Bang Nation, but what happens? He throws a tantrum after losing money and even righteously says that he will pay back at another time. Everyone here is from the same circle, Mr. Prince of Three-Star, if you do this, aren’t you afraid that there are no companies that would dare to do business with your company in the future?” some fellow businessmen spoke up.
“Yeah, just accept defeat and pay the price.”
Young Master Lee still righteously said, “I already said, put it on my tab. I’m just paying it later, it’s not like I’m not going to.”
At this time, Xu Cheng suddenly looked at Young Master Lee and said, “Then what if I don’t agree? What if I insist on keeping the share mortgage agreement?”
A complicated look flashed past Young Master Lee’s face. “Then I can only say sorry. No one other than members of the Lee Family could get these shares, at least for now. So, there’s no other way, you have to give them back to me. But don’t worry, I will slowly pay you back the money I lost.”
“Give back?” Xu Cheng sneered. “What are you going to use to pay me back with? These stocks were given to you by your dad, what can you do to make 8.7 billion dollars to pay me back? You might be saying that you are down to pay me back, but what happens if you don’t admit it after you get back to the Bang Nation?
Young Master Lee narrowed his eyes. “Then what you are saying is, you insist on taking my mortgaged company shares, right?”
“Not really.” Xu Cheng said, “You can also have it back.”
Young Master Lee: “What do you mean?”
Xu Cheng arrogantly said, “Beg me. Kneel down and beg me. Then, I will give you back your shares like trying to dismiss a beggar. How’s that?”
“What?” Young Master Lee thought he heard it wrong.
All the other people at the scene thought Xu Cheng p-ssied out after having a gun pointed in his face, but his tone took a sudden change and he even began provoking.
Young Master Lee glared right in Xu Cheng’s eyes and said with a dark face, “Do you dare to repeat what you just said?”
“You can try to kill me if you want, but if you want your shares back, the only way that’s gonna happen is you walking to me on your knees and then begging me,” Xu Cheng repeated nonchalantly.
“Very well.” After checking the million-dollar watch on his hand, he asked the bodyguard, “At this hour, we are probably in international waters already. Didn’t someone say that he was going to do something when we were in international waters?”
The bodyguard sneered and chimed in, “He said he was going to teach us a lesson, and now I really want to see what kind of lesson he’s going to teach us.”
Chapter 544: Pirates (Part Two)
Haber coldly looked at them. “What do you think you are doing? You must know that this cruise is our king’s ship.”
The bodyguard: “I know, but we have left the Persian Gulf. This belongs to international waters, and we are no longer subject to the laws of your UAE.”
Haber: “But this ship still has our rules. If you dare to hurt our guest, that would be disrupting our business.”
Xu Cheng looked at Young Master Lee and asked, “You mean, if I say no, your bodyguard would shoot me? There are so many people here, all rich and powerful, you think you can shoulder the aftermath of killing me?”
Young Master Lee: “So don’t force me.”
Immediately, the security guards of this cruise rushed into the casino. There were over a dozen of them, although not fully armed, all of them still carried guns. They all pointed at the bodyguard and prevented him from doing anything reckless.
The bodyguard immediately raised his arm and gun into the air. “Wow, this ship indeed has guards and is even armed. I was just saying, how could there not be any security when there are so many rich and powerful people on board.”
“Drop your weapon, you better not cause any trouble.” The captain of the security team pointed his gun at Young Master Lee’s bodyguard and warned, “This is international waters, we have legitimate reasons to execute you on the spot.”
The bodyguard said, “I won’t do anything reckless, but you guys better not do anything reckless too. Besides being a bodyguard, I’m also a citizen of the M Nation.”
Just then, commotion took place from all sides of the ship, and gunshots were heard from both the deck and interior of the ship.
“What’s going on? Hurry and go out to check.” Haber was shocked, and so were the guests.
Just then, the door of the casino was kicked open, and more than 20 armed men rushed in, directly opening fire on those security guards. The crowd screamed right away, and everyone tried to find some cover to hide; the scene instantly sank into chaos.
Haber immediately blurted out, “Fack, it’s pirates!”
After killing off the security guards, the big burly pirate captain carrying a miniature Gatling gun laughed heartily. Thick smoke rolled out from his mouth as he took a sip of his cigar and said, “Hello everyone, believe me, this is the biggest kidnapping case I’ve done in my entire life. Haha, it definitely feels good!”
Many Middle Eastern tycoons were surprised as one shouted in shock, “How did you manage to enter this area of the sea? You’ve violated international law!”
“Enter what area of the sea?” That burly man tsked tsked and said, “Who’s the one in charge here? He’s so careless. Don’t you guys even know that the captain of this ship was bribed? Open up your eyes, this cruise of yours has entered the Land of Mercenaries’ pirate territory of the Persian Gulf.”
Everyone was shocked.
Haber shouted, “What pirate group do you belong to? We can definitely negotiate a price, but I hope you won’t make it difficult for the members on our cruise. Just do our UAE a favor.”
“Do you guys a favor?” That burly boss of the pirates laughed hysterically. “This is the funniest joke I’ve heard in a while. Someone actually asked us outlaws to do them a favor. How much is a favor to the UAE worth? Let me tell you, we’ve been eyeing this ship for a long time now. From the club’s internal members, we knew that this ship would set sail once every year with its esteemed members, and who are those members? They are all the filthy rich tycoons of Asia and the Middle East. This is completely like a walking golden vault, and we’ve finally caught it today after a long-azz time of preparation!”
