Chapter 195: Launching The Attack First
Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio
Whenever Sienna thought about how Fali had gotten a 380 carat black diamond with just a hundred dollars, she could feel herself go insane.
It was such an expensive gem. If it was sold in an auction, it would probably cost hundreds of millions.
“If you’re the one who bought the Doom Star instead, what will you do? Sell it away?”
“Why not?”
“You better search the history of Doom Star online. Then you’ll get it.”
Chen Zhao started to devise a plan. Their main goal now was to eliminate the ghost ship, or Mary San Frisco.
The only problem was that he had no idea whether the ghost ship had been targeting Fali or the Doom Star.
If it was the Doom Star, Chen Zhao would just take the Doom Star and wait for the ghost ship to find him.
However, if it was Fali instead, the situation would be much more troublesome.
She had to either stay away from the sea for her entire life, or be the bait.
“Fali, give me the Doom Star. Let’s see if the ghost ship will find me instead.”
“Chen, Sienna just said that the ghost ship is very powerful. Let’s not go and find it.”
“Even if we don’t look for it, it might continue to look for you. Do you plan to not go to the sea for the rest of your life?”
After brief consideration, Fali still gave the Doom Star to Chen Zhao.
“When are you going?”
“Tonight,” Chen Zhao said.
“So soon? Aren’t you going to prepare?”
“No need.”
“You should at least for White-Ma to heal. He might be able to help.”
“He can’t help. I won’t need him anyway.”
Chen Zhao had already talked with Blackie, who said that he could settle the ship.
Since Blackie said that there would not be a problem, it must be the case.
However, Fali seemed to be somewhat lost due to Chen Zhao’s abrupt decision.
She wanted to follow him there, but did not dare to.
The encounter with the ghost ship that night was indeed a psychological trauma for her.
This time, Chen Zhao only brought Blackie with him and no demon else.
“Rasfa, do you have a contact number for any yacht rental companies?”
“Yes. Are you going to rent a yacht?”
“Yup.”
“I have a yacht. You can come here.”
“No, I don’t want a big yacht like the one you have. I only need a normal one.”
“Why do you need a yacht? A party? If it’s a party, of course you need a big one.”
“It’s complicated. I might even damage your yacht. I don’t want to pay that much money in case I destroy it. Give me the contact number of a yacht rental company.”
Chen Zhao was also unsure about how this mission would progress.
Rasfa thought about it and said, “I have more than just one yacht. In fact, I have a much smaller one that’s been at a port for quite some time. It’s rather old, but it can still be used. If you need it, I can give the yacht to you for free.”
“…”
“Stop hesitating and just come here. That abandoned small yacht is only about two or three hundred thousand dollars.”
“Alright then. Can I operate it alone?”
“Of course. It’s not hard to operate a yacht. After all, if it’s too difficult, nobody will buy it. Many rich people like to operate their own yachts and go out to the sea.”
Chen Zhao hurried to Rasfa’s house. When he arrived, he saw Manny there too.
“Hi, Manny.”
“I don’t want to speak to you, stingy cat.” Manny turned around and left.
Chen Zhao was confused. He could not remember offending Manny before.
“Haha… Chen, look at the wall.”
Chen Zhao turned his head and saw a tiger shark specimen hanging on the wall.
“Is that the shark which hurt White-Ma?”
In the specimen, the damaged parts had all been repaired. It looked like a real shark which was looking for a prey in the sea.
“Also the one which bit Daniel. I didn’t expect there to be such a killer in my beach. Luckily, you killed it.”
“I didn’t actually do much. Black-Ma did most of the job.”
“Chen, here’s the key to my yacht, Seek. I’ll ask Paul to bring you there.”
“Alright. The thing I have is somewhat urgent. I’ll go now.”
“Sure. Be careful.”
Rasfa did not ask Chen Zhao to stay. Instead, he asked Paul to bring Chen Zhao to the port.
When they reached the port, Chen Zhao realized that it was filled with yachts, many of which were waiting to be thrown away.
There were almost 20 million yachts in America, while there were just over 300 million people. This meant that on average, every fifteen people owned a yacht.
Thus, cheap yachts were really very cheap. Some only cost a hundred thousand.
Nevertheless, when Paul brought Chen Zhao to the yacht Seek, Chen Zhao realized that he had been deceived.
It was definitely not a yacht that was only two or three hundred thousand. This yacht, which was waiting to be abandoned, cost at least a million.
Even after considering depreciation, it could be sold at about five or six hundred thousand.
Seek was 22 meters long and had three floors, including the lower cabin. At the top of the yacht was an open air platform.
Inside the yacht, there were four bedrooms, a living room, a kitchen, and two public restrooms. It was indeed a luxurious apartment.
Paul followed Chen Zhao onto the yacht. “Chen, do you want me to stay here and help you operate the ship?”
“Nope. Just teach me how to. It’s not hard, right?”
“It’s simple, don’t worry. It’s not more difficult than driving a car.”
“I can’t drive a car…”
“As long as you know how to use a tablet. This yacht has an autopilot function.”
The yacht’s operation was indeed very simple.
After over ten minutes, Chen Zhao learned most of the things he needed.
Then, Paul left the yacht and Chen Zhao set off.
Chen Zhao also did not know where he should go. Anyway, he entered a random course and set the yacht on autopilot. He did not have to worry about anything else.
Chen Zhao sat on the open air platform and stared at the starry sky, waiting for the ghost ship to show up.
However, waiting here and doing nothing was rather boring.
Chen Zhao ran back into the cabin, looking for something to drink.
Suddenly, a head stretched out from one of the bedrooms.
“Manny?!” Chen Zhao screamed.
Manny turned his head and looked at Chen Zhao. The two stared at each other in silence.
“Why are you on the ship?!” Chen Zhao roared.
“Why can’t I be on the ship?” Manny pouted, unconcerned. “It’s my grandfather’s yacht.”
“Do you know that there are some perverts who will find ways to get a girl out on the sea? After they’re done playing with her, they’ll throw her into the sea to feed the sharks.”
Looking at Chen Zhao’s gloomy face, Manny shivered and stared at him in horror. “Are you that kind of pervert?”
“Are you scared now? Why didn’t you think of the consequences when you boarded the yacht?”
“I just wanted to see why you’re coming out to the sea… Who would know that you’re a pervert…” Manny cried in fear.
Chen Zhao could not stop shaking in anger. He called Rasfa, “Rasfa, your granddaughter is now on the yacht. I have no idea when she hid here.”
“Huh? Manny’s on the yacht?”
“I’ll return now and send her to the shore. Ask Paul to wait for her there.”
Chen Zhao ran into the cockpit, canceled the original course, and then set the yacht to return.
However, the operating system seemed to be dysfunctional. Despite trying for a long time, Chen Zhao could not finish the setup.
