"I'll save each of you. One million dollars. If you want it, get on the boat. If not, I'll feed you to the fish. Think about it."
"You're robbing us!" You bandit!! "the one-eyed man roared.
"Gaia, do I have talent in this?" Chen Zhao asked, grinning.
Gaia rolled her eyes. "Are you sure they can afford it?"
There were still seven or eight people in the water, which meant seven or eight million dollars.
"Okay … We'll pay. Hurry and pull us up," Cyclops called.
Finally, everyone was pulled onto the deck.
But then, Cyclops and the others pointed their guns at Chen Zhao and Gaia.
"Sir, looks like we can talk business now." Cyclops and Guret both stared at Chen Zhao viciously.
Gaia glanced at Chen Zhao. "You should've expected this, right?"
"Don't shoot on my boat. I just bought it. Please." Chen Zhao looked at Cyclops and the others helplessly.
Bang!
"You killed my brother!" One of Cyclops's team members fired.
The bullet hit Chen Zhao's chest and then bounced off the deck, creating a hole.
Everyone looked at Chen Zhao's chest and then at the hole in the ground.
Suddenly, the team member who had fired was wrapped in darkness.
The darkness crept up to his neck, choking him.
"Save me … Boss … Save me …"
Everyone felt chills down their spine. What was going on?
They only saw a dark substance attached to their companion's neck. Then, they saw their companion's neck being crushed.
In the end, the team member was thrown into the water.
"One, two, three, four …" Chen Zhao counted the body in the water. "Eight people in total. Two million dollars each. Thank you for your patronage."
"Why two million dollars?"
"I said, this is my boat. You're shooting on my boat! I need money to fix the boat. Also, I was shot. My body and soul are both hurt. You have to pay. If anyone doesn't want to pay, I'll send them to see God for free. "
Cyclops and the others were furious, but they still raised their guns.
"I'll count to three. Whoever still has a gun, I'll treat them as enemies. Three, two, one!"
Cyclops finally lowered his gun first, but his eyes were still unfriendly.
"Are you splitting the bill or is Boss treating?"
"Boss …"
The one-eyed man's lackeys all looked at the one-eyed man.
The one-eyed man had no choice but to take out a card.
"Okay, let's get down to business," Chen Zhao said. "Tell me everything you know."
Cyclops looked at Chen Zhao. "I need a drink."
After soaking in the sea for so long, these pirates were basically exhausted.
Never mind. Since he'd taken the money, Chen Zhao's service was very good. There was enough beer and barbecue.
"Then do you agree to the 20% I want?"
"I've already robbed you of 16 million dollars, and you still think this cooperation can go on?"
"That's a different matter." One-eyed Dragon said, "We are pirates, so we have to follow the rules of pirates. We offended you in advance and were blackmailed by you. Although this result is hard to accept, on the sea, whoever has the bigger fist is the boss, so we have nothing to say. However, since we are cooperating, we still have to follow the rules of pirates. There is no rule of black-on-black-on-black-on-black-on-black-on-black-on-black-on-black-on-black-on-black-on-black-on-black-on-black-on-black-on-black-on-black-on-black-on-black.
"Alright, since you're being so serious, I'll be honest with you. I don't know the exact number of the treasures, but there's something that we're determined to get."
"What is it?"
"The Sun King Golden Chalice."
"Louis XIV?"
"That's right, it's that guy's."
"According to the black market price, that gold cup is worth at least 200 million USD."
"I don't care. Anyway, this Sun King Golden Chalice is not part of the total value of the treasure."
"Then I have a condition too. We can give you the Sun King Golden Chalice, but our profit must be more than twenty million dollars. If it's less than that, you have to return the sixteen million dollars you extorted from us," Cyclops said.
"Fine." Chen Zhao nodded.
"The demon on the island is called Guyer. He has a lot of doppelgänger eyes that are scattered in every corner of Xter Rohr Island. If one of his eyes burrows into his mouth, it will become a parasite."
"How do we tell if someone is parasitized?" Chen Zhao asked.
"Mouth," Cyclops said. "His doppelgänger eyes will hide in people's mouths. As long as they open their mouths, we can see. When you or I suspect that someone is parasitized, we can ask them to open their mouths. This is a rule that we all have to follow."
Chen Zhao turned to look at Gaia. She nodded, indicating that she had no objections.
"Also, many creatures on the island will be parasitized by doppelgänger eyes. We have to pay attention to this too."
"Regular animals shouldn't be much of a threat," Chen Zhao said. "Unless, of course, they're not."
"The creatures parasitized by the eyes will become twisted and extremely savage," Cyclops said. The one-eyed dragon said, "One last point, the number of deaths and the number of parasites must not exceed 13 people."
"Including the people who died earlier?"
"That's right. Including those who died in the submarine and those you killed later, six people have died in total."
"Have there never been 13 deaths on this island?"
"Not a single person has died."
"But I heard that a research team once entered Xter Rol Island."
"The leader of the research team is my father. He's also a pirate."
"Err …"
"Any other questions?" Cyclops asked.
"No. We'll leave tomorrow morning," Chen Zhao said.
"But where are we sleeping tonight?"
"I'll arrange it for you."
Ten minutes later, Cyclops and the others all stared at Chen Zhao angrily.
"You arranged for all of us to stay in this room that's only 20 square meters? There are so many rooms on the ship. "
"If you're too scattered, I won't be able to take care of you. I'm afraid that you'll mess around on my ship, so I arranged all of you in one room. It'll be easier for me to manage … Oh, there's a bathroom in this room, so don't use the bathroom as an excuse to leave the room tonight. If anyone dares to leave, I'll throw them into the sea."
Everyone was angry at Chen Zhao, but they didn't dare to say anything.
They knew that Chen Zhao was purposely making things difficult for them, but there was nothing they could do.
They couldn't beat Chen Zhao.
"What should I do? Do I have to sleep with them? "Guret asked.
