Field, the major shareholder of Solman Associates, got out of the car and scolded Carl, "Carl Dam, you bastard. You're finished!" Field, the major shareholder of Solman Associates, got out of the car and scolded Carl angrily.
Carl's expression changed drastically when he saw the newcomer. He looked at the strange gazes around him and hurriedly walked forward. "Hey, my friend, I know we have some misunderstandings, but please listen to my explanation. You must listen to my explanation …"
"Very well, I'll definitely listen to your explanation, but not here!" Field saw that Carl was trying to quibble. He thought he had seen through Carl's trick and snapped his fingers at the police officer behind him. "You have to go back with the police now. I'll listen to your explanation at the police station."
"Carl Dam, Mr. Field has accused you of stealing Solman Associates' property and fraud. Please come back with us to the police station now!" A uniformed police officer took out a pair of handcuffs and cuffed Carl's hands.
Carl's face was full of disbelief. He looked at the handcuffs on his hands and roared at Field, "Field, you bastard, you bastard. You'll definitely regret it if you don't believe me."
"I'm the one who will regret believing a brainless egomaniac like you!" Field waved for the police to take Carl away. Then, he looked at the filming equipment on the ground and frowned. He said to the people who had been tricked by Carl, "The film company has already canceled the filming. Carl Dam was the one who cheated them. Now, move all these things back to the company."
After saying that, Field paused and looked at Carl's subordinate, Preston. "And you, from now on, you're fired."
Everyone felt like they were dreaming. Carl, who had just been a great director in the company, had actually been arrested by the company's boss on charges of fraud. The film they had planned to film was canceled, and Preston, who had been in charge of them, was actually fired on the spot.
However, the major shareholder of the company, Field, had spoken. In order not to lose their jobs, these people could only obey. Although they had some complaints in their hearts, they still moved all the filming equipment on the ground back.
After the police arrived, Ye Xuan and the crew of the Adventure watched from the sidelines. Only after the people from Thorman Associates had left did Horn exhale a mouthful of smoke and say, "I didn't expect Caldane to be so bold. If you hadn't rented my ship, Mr Ye, I'm afraid I would have been killed by him."
"You're welcome. The troublemaker is gone. Can we go now?" Ye Xuan turned his head and smiled at Horn as he watched Karl being arrested.
"Of course!" Horn nodded and smiled. Then he turned around and shouted at the crew members who were watching the show outside the cabin, "Get ready to set sail!"
"Yes, Captain!" The crew responded, and then they all went to prepare.
"Alright, Mr Ye, let's get on the boat. The boat will depart soon!" As Horn spoke, he turned around and walked into the cabin. He still had a lot of things to do. As the captain, he had to command from the captain's room when the ship set sail.
Woo! — —
A thick cloud of black smoke spewed out from the chimney on the top of the ship. A distant steam whistle sounded. The crew unmoored and pulled in the anchor. The ship shook and began to slowly leave the dock. It slowly headed towards the sea.
"Two planes at very low speed, Mr Hess!" Captain Horn's voice came from the captain's room. Hess was the chief officer of the Adventure, a black man.
Ye Xuan stood on the deck in front of the ship. He watched the ship slowly move forward through the calm water, gradually leaving the dock and New York. Leaving the mainland.
Looking up at the twinkling stars in the sky, Ye Xuan took a deep breath of the air mixed with the smell of the sea. He couldn't help but think of the main characters of the movie, Carl and Ann. Without these people going to Skull Island, he didn't know what would happen in the future.
This was also a bold attempt by Ye Xuan. He wanted to see how strong the so-called plot inertia was after he changed the movie's plot. Although it would be more advantageous for him if he didn't change the plot, this kind of advantage would unknowingly give him a hint in his heart. It would make him have a vague sense of dependence on the plot, which was completely different from his purpose of coming to the dream world. If he didn't change the plot and knew the plot, it would be like he was traveling in a dream world. He wouldn't be able to achieve the purpose of the system's training at all. Only by changing the plot and putting himself in an unfamiliar environment, where he didn't know what would happen in the future, could he really get some training.
A strong person wasn't just strong physically. Most importantly, he had a strong heart.
…
Just as the Adventure left the port and headed towards the sea, Carl was brought in by the police at the New York police station.
"Field, Nami, Kaedun, I need to talk to you in private!" After entering the police station, Carl didn't roar anymore. Instead, he turned his eyes and looked at the three major shareholders of Solman Associates.
"I don't think we have anything to talk about. You bastard, just wait to wash your ass clean and go to jail!" Kaedun, the three shareholders of Solman Associates, scolded Carl.
"One million USD, I have a deal worth one million USD!" Carl looked at the three fearlessly.
"One million USD, you bastard. You're still trying to cheat us," Kaedun said with disdain.
The other two shareholders, Field and Nami, looked at Carl's calm expression and looked at each other. They nodded and actually agreed. They turned to the police next to them and said, "Officer Chris, please prepare a private room for us. We want to talk first."
"Okay, no problem!"
Soon, Carl and the three shareholders of Solman Associates were brought to a room by the police. When there were only four of them in the room, Field looked at Carl and said, "Okay, Carl, what's with the one million USD you mentioned?"
"It's this!" Karl took out the map of the Skeleton Island from his pocket and waved it in his hand. He said, "This is the mysterious map worth a million dollars."
"What?" The three shareholders looked at the sea map in Carl's hand with greed in their eyes. Nami stared at the sea map. "Carl, as long as you hand over this sea map, not only will we not sue you, but we will also fully support you to continue shooting your movie after we get the money."
"No, no, no. Guys, don't get excited!" Seeing the greed on the faces of Field and the other two, Carl revealed a cunning smile. "Even if you get this sea map now, it can't be turned into one million USD."
"Carl, what do you mean by that? This map is fake? "
"You bastard, do you dare to fool us?"
"I'm not fooling you. The reason why this sea map isn't worth one million USD is because it has a higher value." Carl waved his hand and seemed to be crazily bewitching the three people in front of him. "Guys, don't be fooled by the small profits in front of you. Haven't you thought about why someone would want to spend one million USD to buy it? Why I'm willing to risk committing a crime to go out to sea to film? Haven't you thought about this? Am I really that stupid to give up my beautiful life for a movie? "
"Why?" The three shareholders of Solman Associates looked at Carl.
"Because there's a secret in this sea map, a secret that can make everyone rich. On that mysterious island, there's a complete lost civilization. There are countless treasures, countless treasures. As long as you get those treasures, you can buy the entire United States without a problem, guys!" Carl continued to brag to the three people in front of him.
"Let me see!" Hearing Carl's nonsense, the three of them looked at each other and saw countless treasures in each other's eyes. Then, Field took a big step forward, took the sea map from Carl's hand, and began to look at it.
People die for wealth, and birds die for food. Although the three of them were somewhat doubtful of Karl's words, when a treasure map was placed in front of them, especially when Karl said that there were countless treasures on the island, as long as it was a person, no one would not be tempted.
Looking at the three people in front of him who were looking at the sea map together, the corners of Carl's mouth gradually formed a sinister smile.
