Just then, a beam of light appeared on the surface of the sea.
It was the light of a searchlight.
A ship seemed to be approaching the Hydra.
It was a fishing boat, but it was rather large.
Its length and displacement were similar to the Hydra, but its tonnage was probably higher.
The fishing boat stopped when it was about a hundred meters away from the Hydra.
The searchlight on the fishing boat shone on the Hydra.
Just then, Chen Zhao heard the butler system's voice.
"Master, Meryl requests to speak to you."
"Meryl? That fishing boat over there? "
Chen Zhao thought for a moment and picked up.
"Hello, how can I help you?"
"Hello, I'm Meryl's captain, Judge Bunchen D 'Eon." The captain's voice came from the communicator. "Our fishing boat is going to do salvage nearby. Can you please leave this area so that Meryl's fishing net doesn't hit your boat's propeller?"
"It's not an open fishing ground," Chen Zhao replied. "Captain Bunchen D 'Eon, it's illegal for you to fish here, so I suggest you leave as soon as possible."
On Meryl, Judge Bunchen D 'Eon frowned. The people on the other boat really didn't know what was good for them.
He'd already lowered his voice, but the other side still didn't know when to stop.
"Boss, we still have to use force," a rough man said. "It's just a boat. What's there to hesitate about? Let's just sink it. We might even get some money."
"Take out all the tools and make it clean," Judge Bunchen D 'Eon said expressionlessly.
On the Hydra, Portia was shocked to see the fishing boat crash over.
The yacht was made of thin steel and aluminum, different from the pure steel of the fishing boat.
If it crashed over, the Hydra would definitely be cut in half.
After all, it was a yacht. The hull was designed for comfort.
Most of the modern fishing boats were designed to withstand the strongest winds and waves.
Some boats even had the ability to break ice. As long as they were equipped with an icebreaker, they could crash into the floating ice on the surface.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way …" Portia screamed in fear.
Glancing at Chen Zhao, she said, "The kids are sleeping."
Chen Zhao nodded and turned to look at Meryl.
Meryl had been under Chen Zhao's domain the entire time.
Within a radius of a thousand meters, and on the sea.
The Meryl wanted to ram the yacht, but it was obviously thinking too much.
Furthermore, there were still Amon and Little Nine in the water.
Portia discovered that although the Meryl had been rushing in their direction, it hadn't gotten any closer.
Looking at its posture, it was clearly charging over, and the seawater was being pushed away.
How could it not be close?
Portia wasn't the only one who was confused.
The people on Meryl were also confused.
Judging from the traces of the current, their ship is indeed moving forward, but why didn't they approach the Hydra?
At that moment, Gaia floated up from the sea and jumped onto the yacht.
Portia saw that Gaia was holding two gold bricks in her hands.
Portia sucked in a cold breath.
"Gaia, did you salvage this?"
"Yes." Gaia took the towel from Fali and began to wipe herself. "We have enough money to buy toys for Evans."
Chen Zhao and Fali both smiled nonchalantly.
Gaia was quite famous in the entertainment industry now.
Plus, she had her private business and her famous fitness center.
In the Supernatural Organization, her value was second only to Chen Zhao.
Just these two gold bricks were really not enough to enter her eyes.
They were just here for fun.
Gaia looked at Meryl. "What's with that fishing boat?"
"It's probably from a private salvage company. They disguised it as a fishing boat," Chen Zhao said nonchalantly.
Chen Zhao wasn't guessing blindly. The boom on the fishing boat wasn't used to pull nets. It was a lifting machine.
Then, the people from the Supernatural Organization surfaced one after another.
Portia looked at them. Each of them had one or two gold bricks on them. Her eyes were all red.
She didn't have the ability, but these guys were too good at diving.
Some of them didn't even need equipment to dive 100 meters deep and then float up with two or three gold bricks.
"Boss, if they're from a salvage company, why are they disguised as fishing boats?" Portia asked, confused.
"Of course," Chen Zhao said. "Salvage companies have to pay heavy taxes if they salvage a sunken ship. If they launder money, they only have to pay 15 to 20 percent at most. If they pay taxes to the government, they have to pay at least 45 percent. Also, some sunken ships are involved in international disputes. It's very troublesome to sue them in international courts, so they naturally have to disguise themselves as fishing boats."
He knew so clearly mainly because he knew Guret.
Guret's main business was piracy, but she also had other businesses.
Salvage companies were one of them.
Most salvage companies didn't register their business.
Most salvage companies were in the business of salvaging wrecks and wrecks from the 18th and 19th centuries.
Both were unpredictable businesses most of the time.
The cost of salvaging wrecks was low, and they might not find them.
In the past, the number of wrecks wasn't high, but it wasn't low either. They had to search with all their might. They might not even find one in a year or two.
Compared to the cost of searching and salvaging, the items that could be salvaged might not even cover the cost.
If taxes were included, the salvage company wouldn't even be able to make a profit.
Taking a risk out of desperation was their only choice.
At the moment, the people on Meryl were panicking. They realized that no matter how hard they tried, the ship couldn't get close to the yacht.
Even at full power, they couldn't move it at all.
They wanted to escape, but they couldn't either.
The entire ship stayed where it was.
"What do we do now?" Judge Bangchen asked anxiously.
He'd been in the salvage business for more than 20 years and had never seen such a strange thing.
"How about we ask the boss for help?" one of his men suggested.
Judge Bangchen d 'Eon thought for a long time, but there was no other way.
He could only ask the boss for help.
Bangchen picked up the satellite phone. "Boss, we've encountered some trouble."
"What trouble?"
"We encountered a yacht that appeared at the location of our salvage operation. We negotiated with them, but they weren't willing to leave. Then …" Bongchen D 'Eon explained the situation to Judge Liu.
"Yacht? What kind of yacht? "
"A very luxurious yacht with the Hydra logo printed on the hull … Boss, is this a Hydra organization?"
