Aomandaya once had a small port abandoned for many years, already forgotten by the world, a place seldom trodden by human feet.

Well, it should probably be referred to as the future Blood Rose Port. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

To preserve the twelve luxurious cruise ships moored at the port, belonging to Hell’s Judgement Organization at Manzhou Base, Manshan, the head of Manzhou Base of Hell’s Judgement Organization, didn’t hesitate to offer shares of the Blood Rose Port in exchange for renovations, and even promised to name the port after Xue Mei, a beauty as cold as ice, in hopes of retaining as many cruise ships as possible.

It wasn’t just Manshan, even the blind Vulture silently hoped that Xue Mei, the cold beauty, would show mercy and leave them more of the luxurious cruise ships.

Manshan and Vulture both hoped that Xue Mei, the cold beauty, would leave them with more of the luxurious cruise ships. It wasn’t because the two of them craved luxury; rather, the cruise ships were of great significance to the Hell’s Judgement Organization at Manzhou Base.

The Hell’s Judgement Organization’s base on the island of Manzhou would be as good as immobilized without ships—it would be a problem even to step outside, let alone develop.

This was also why Manshan did not spare the port naming or the shares, to compensate Xue Mei, the cold beauty—it was a crucial reason.

"If sister-in-law isn’t too interested in the port, we can compensate you in other ways, like a villa on the island," Manshan suggested.

Seeing Xue Mei, the cold beauty, lost in thought, Manshan, not knowing what she was contemplating, assumed she was dissatisfied with his offer of compensation. After a moment of thought, Manshan threw in the promise of an island villa.

Under Manshan’s repeated generous promises, the dazed Xue Mei finally snapped back to reality.

One couldn’t blame Xue Mei, the cold beauty, for her lack of psychological endurance; the offer to name the port after her and share ownership had far exceeded her expectations.

Although, through these twelve luxurious cruise ships, Xue Mei, the cold beauty, had already formed a rough outline in her mind of the wealth and power that Lin Fei wielded.

But no matter how Xue Mei, the cold beauty, pondered, she clearly hadn’t expected Manshan to offer to name the port after her.

Despite appearing as a naming promise without much substantive benefit, the subtle messages conveyed by Manshan’s words were enough to shock Xue Mei!

Whether it was the naming of the port or the promises regarding it, they were all predicated on something.

That was, Manshan, or the power he represented, had absolute ownership and—authority over the port!

It was precisely because of this realization that Xue Mei, the cold beauty, had become lost in thought.

Before coming to Manzhou, Xue Mei, the cold beauty, had already thought hard about the power and authority Lin Fei might hold there.

Now, with Manshan’s offer to name the port after her and the promise of shares, Xue Mei, the cold beauty, clearly understood that she had greatly underestimated Lin Fei.

"I am not in need of money, so I will not take the shares of the port. Over the years, I have grown accustomed to living in Zhonghai. Cruise ships and island villas alike would be wasted on me. I’m hardly a celebrity, and naming the port after me might make me the subject of ridicule. All in all, I appreciate your gesture. If anything, I should be thanking you for taking care of Elder Wei. So, I really cannot accept your items."

After the initial stupefaction had passed, Xue Mei, the captivating creature of Thorny Rose, quickly regained her composure. With genuinely earnest words, she tactfully declined the substantial compensation offered by Man Mountain.

As Xue Mei had mentioned herself, whether it be a secluded island villa or a luxury yacht, these held little significance for her. As for the shares in the port and the dividends from those shares, for Xue Mei who controlled such a vast Thorny Rose, such things were basically dispensable.

What truly intrigued Xue Mei—the captivating creature—was the seemingly inconsequential privilege of naming the port. But that was merely a fleeting interest.

Xue Mei’s purpose for this journey wasn’t to take advantage of anything. She had come to visit Elder Wei, and her visit was largely thanks to Man Mountain and Vulture, the two Hell’s Judgement Organization, Manzhou Base leaders.

In short, Man Mountain and Vulture could be considered benefactors to Xue Mei.

Under such circumstances, Xue Mei—the captivating Thorny Rose—was, of course, going to decline Man Mountain’s generous reparations.

Originally, Xue Mei had taken an interest in the twelve luxury yachts belonging to Hell’s Judgement Organization’s Manzhou Base simply because of Lin Fei’s mention on the plane of giving her a surprise, which led to her misunderstanding.

Had it not been for that misunderstanding, the situation would never have escalated to this point.

Xue Mei, the captivating creature, began to realize this, while Man Mountain and Vulture were evidently still somewhat uncertain.

Man Mountain, who initially thought Xue Mei—the captivating creature—might be unsatisfied with the compensation he had offered, blurted out almost reflexively when he heard Xue Mei’s tactful refusal, "Sister, sister-in-law, that really wouldn’t be proper. Surely when you visit, we must offer you some token of—"

"It’s fine, once you’ve finished refurbishing the port, we can discuss it. As for the yachts, you keep them."

Lin Fei, who understood the psychological workings of both parties, yet had remained silent thus far, saw that Xue Mei—the captivating creature—had stated her position and, not wanting to listen to Man Mountain’s continuing drivel, directly made a decision.

Whether it was Xue Mei or Man Mountain and Vulture, the two leaders of Hell’s Judgement Organization’s Manzhou Base, they were all family to Lin Fei.

In short, regardless of whose hands the twelve luxury yachts ended up in, in a way, they could all be considered Lin Fei’s.

Generally speaking, Xue Mei—the captivating creature—would not leave Rose Manor. Therefore, Lin Fei naturally had to turn down the yachts and villas on her behalf.

However, the port naming might be acceptable.

After all, it involved taking Xue Mei—the captivating creature—for a tour around Hell’s Judgement Organization’s Manzhou Base. Naming the port after her would serve as a second surprise Lin Fei had for Xue Mei—the captivating creature.

"Since the boss has spoken, that settles it. This port will henceforth be named after sister-in-law. If the boss and sister-in-law have no other issues, we’ll depart for the island right away. Elder Wei is probably eagerly waiting for us there."

Man Mountain, the responsible leader of Hell’s Judgement Organization’s Manzhou Base, naturally wouldn’t miss such an opportunity, especially since Lin Fei had just saved the twelve luxury yachts for him. After securing Lin Fei’s consent, Man Mountain immediately ordered the twelve luxury yachts to set sail, heading toward the island where Hell’s Judgement Organization’s Manzhou Base was located...
