I Am Cultivating in the Apocalypse-Chapter 909 - 998: I Also Have a Younger Brother Bringing Over a Hundred Shiploads of Supplies
Mama Has: Are you serious or pretending? If you hadn’t said that, they might have returned your daughter. But with what you said, they’d have to be brainless to send her back.
At this moment, thousands of thoughts rushed through Mama Has’s mind, wanting to ask, "Are you doing this on purpose?"
The robbers became even more excited after hearing this.
Forget about returning the hostages; once they got the resources, they never intended to return them, especially the Black Robed Man, whose tentacles twisted underneath his robe. He hadn’t expected the hostage to know the secret to brewing beer, making her even less likely to be returned.
Even the battle plans became much simpler.
The Black Robed Man directly said, "Take the resources and escort this woman away, do not do anything extra."
As he spoke, he specifically glanced at the Snake Scorpion Woman, because she was going to the hotel to retrieve all the Huaxia woman’s belongings.
The Snake Scorpion Woman reluctantly nodded.
At this moment, the robbers who could secure resources by leveraging hostages banded together. Although one person could get the cargo of five ships, as a powerful group, the Black Robes wanted to take more.
Therefore, they had to take the resources to a safe place before splitting them.
So...
Mama Has watched as the other party used safety as an excuse to sail away with the resources, Mr. Zhou’s daughter, and the last few hostages.
"Just like that?" Mama Has asked.
Mr. Zhou nodded, reassuring him, "Don’t worry, they said they’d send my daughter back once they reached a safe place. They’ve taken the resources, they wouldn’t go back on their word."
"Haha." Mama Has forced a sarcastic smile. If they really send the hostages back, he might as well eat dirt on the spot.
Mr. Zhou even said, "Isn’t this outcome good? At least they didn’t hurt my children, see? They’re all fine—now my daughter has great value, so they wouldn’t kill her."
Mama Has wanted to say, but now you’re alone and the dozens of shiploads of resources are gone?
Now, Mr. Zhou was practically useless.
However, Mr. Zhou said something that made Mama Has’s jaw drop: "Don’t worry, my dear brother, my younger brother will soon come over from Huaxia."
"Huh?" Mama Has was caught off guard and asked, "What happens when your brother arrives?"
Mr. Zhou smiled, "I was the vanguard; naturally, he will come over to deliver more resources, perhaps hundreds of shiploads."
Mr. Zhou calculated that if this went smoothly, after looting the robbers’ old nest, that’s roughly the amount.
Their target was very clear this time: anything worthless wouldn’t be brought back, they would exchange everything for hard currency like oil.
One second, Mama Has was still sarcastic, the next moment, he truly smiled, eagerly asking, "Ah, dear Mr. Zhou, how could you not tell me about such a big deal? So I could welcome your brother, when is he expected to arrive in Masi?"
Mr. Zhou thought for a moment, "Perhaps a few days, not certain. After all, isn’t it just dozens of shiploads? It’s no big deal. As for you, not only do I want to establish a brewery in Masi, next, I want to go to Hansi, I’ve heard that place is very prosperous."
Mama Has’ eyes immediately brightened, as if seeing a deity that must be revered. No wonder this prodigal rich guy didn’t feel distressed, he had truly strong financial backing. He quickly said:
"Sure, sure, everything is possible. Rest assured, I’ve had people monitor these resources’ direction. If still within Masi, I can definitely recover them.
Speaking of which, Hansi is too close to that chaotic place. It’s very unsafe. Unlike here, it’s completely safe. That place has too many factions; having a big fist makes anything negotiable. For you going there—" it’s like delivering yourself to harm.
Mr. Zhou smiled amiably and said no more, instead heading back with Mama Has.
Return journey felt lighter, with a large number of troops still intact, no commodities in hand, and fewer spectators. Now the entire Masi knew this Huaxia visitor had given away dozens of shiploads and had nothing left.
As for the other side.
One ship after another surrounded by dozens of smaller ships, heading to other sea territories to at least do a loop to evade the gawkers.
And Jing Shu, at this moment, was being held on her own vessel, one she had captured to make up numbers, now loaded with beer.
The Black Robed Man and his subordinates were checking resources ship by ship.
"Boss, these Huaxia people are really wealthy, each shipload of goods are top-notch."
"These dozen ships were checked, all good stuff, including various finished cigarettes. We’ve hit the jackpot this time."
"Boss, how should these great goods be distributed?"
A group surrounded the Black Robed Man, clearly excited. They hadn’t seen this much good stuff in this place.
Black Robed Man pondered briefly, then said, "Gather everyone with goods, hold a meeting, distribute items, give them 40% of the stuff, first leave this sea area and rally at the Black Forest on the sea."
Now, as seven or eight people held a meeting, completely ignoring Jing Shu, believing that although she wasn’t dead, she’d become a slave to beer production.
Hearing this, the dwarf immediately resisted, "Boss, this is good stuff, why give us so little?"
Snake Scorpion Woman also said, "Yes, yes, even more needs to be divided above, hardly anything left for us."
The Black Robed Man let out a sinister laugh, "First shake off the rabble behind us then see who survives, discuss afterwards."
They realized now, the goods were bait.
They wondered why someone as callous as the Boss would allow so much division.
The Black Robed Man gathered representatives from several factions, delighted at dividing the loot among them, identifying notable talents among the minor factions, plenty of fire coverage, even some armed combat ships, very decent.
The sea was unusually crowded with ships today.
However, everyone was merely tourists within this sea region.
Once they left Masi’s waters—today was bound for a big battle.
