Chapter 345: Chapter 326: Reward: A Diamond Mine

[Host has picked up a shabby ornament made of pasted-together diamond fragments. A special system reward has been triggered. Reward: one Diamond Mine in South Africa. The mineral rights contract has been placed in the woven bag. Please check for it, Host!]

Fang Chenyi had just subconsciously tossed the item into the woven bag, not expecting the system notification in his mind to trigger a special reward!

This left Fang Chenyi completely stunned. He didn’t even pay attention to David Rogers, who was being searched by Liu Yishou. Instead, he reached directly into the bag and pulled out a contract.

Taking a closer look—’Holy shit, it really is a Diamond Mine!’ This was the first time the system had ever rewarded him with something like a mineral property, and for a moment, Fang Chenyi couldn’t help but feel incredibly excited.

’Especially when I think about how many young people stress out over a single diamond ring, and here I am, the owner of an entire Diamond Mine!’

"It’s done, Brother Fang. There’s no more danger."

Just as he was wondering how big this Diamond Mine might be, Qi Xiaotian’s voice interrupted him.

He casually put the contract and other items back into the woven bag and glanced over at David Rogers. The sight left Fang Chenyi speechless.

David Rogers was now lying face down on the ground, hands clasped behind his head, his face pressed firmly against the floor.

That wasn’t even the main point. The main point was that the man had been stripped down to a single pair of undershorts, his clothes tossed in a pile nearby.

In front of him, Liu Yishou stood with a pistol aimed squarely at David Rogers’s head.

’Uh... Yishou sure is fast.’

Looking at the scene, Fang Chenyi couldn’t help but be impressed. He had to admit their methods were truly professional. It was just David Rogers’s bad luck to run into these two.

"Brother Fang, these are the pistols we found on him. They were already loaded."

At that moment, Qi Xiaotian bent down and picked up three pistols from the floor, their safeties now engaged. He then placed them in front of Fang Chenyi, barrels pointing away.

Seeing this, Fang Chenyi couldn’t help but be taken aback. He muttered in confusion:

"Holy shit, this guy was carrying three pistols on him? What’s he planning? Isn’t he afraid of one accidentally going off...?"

Hearing Fang Chenyi’s words, Qi Xiaotian was left speechless. ’He has the nerve to say that about someone else?’ he thought. ’You brought three pistols up here too, not to mention all those silencers and extra ammo...’

Of course, he couldn’t say that out loud. Instead, he said with a chuckle:

"Hehe, Brother Fang, these guns aren’t like that first one. These are double-action. Under normal circumstances, they’re very unlikely to discharge accidentally; their stability is quite high. Huh? Where did that other gun go?"

As he spoke, Qi Xiaotian’s gaze swept across the floor. After looking around once, he found no sign of the gun. Instantly, a layer of cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

’This is no joke,’ he thought. ’It’s a critical time. For a gun to disappear right now... this is not good!’

In an instant, it wasn’t just Qi Xiaotian; even Liu Yishou grew tense. He subconsciously planted his foot on David Rogers’s back.

He put his full weight into it, showing no mercy. A cry of pain escaped David Rogers’s lips, but he was quickly silenced by a sharp rebuke from Liu Yishou. Still, the sound of him continuously sucking in sharp breaths made it clear how much force Liu Yishou was applying.

Fang Chenyi felt a little awkward about their reaction. ’I can’t believe Qi Xiaotian is actually looking for that gun,’ he thought. ’Where are they supposed to find it now? I already tossed it into the woven bag and turned it into cash...’

He rolled his eyes in resignation and deliberately spoke in an annoyed tone, "What’s all the fuss about? You startled me. Stop looking, I put the gun away."

Only after hearing this did Qi Xiaotian and Liu Yishou let out a long sigh of relief. At the same time, Liu Yishou took his foot off David Rogers’s back.

Feeling the foot that had been crushing the air out of him finally lift, David Rogers immediately began to gasp for breath.

"If there are no other problems, let him get dressed."

Receiving Fang Chenyi’s order, Liu Yishou allowed him to get up, but the pistol in his hand never left the man’s head.

David Rogers hurriedly put his clothes back on, then turned, dropped to his knees before Fang Chenyi, and began to wail:

"Oh, Boss, please spare me! I know I was wrong! I’ll never do it again! You can have the ten million, it’s all yours! I also have three million US Dollars in savings, I’ll give that to you too! I’m just begging you to let me go. I’ll scram right now and never appear before you again!"

At this point, as if feeling that wasn’t enough of a bargaining chip, he pointed at the unconscious Wolz beside them and shouted:

"Oh, right, Boss! This was all his idea! Really, this was all his doing. Please spare me! I’ll throw him into the sea to feed the sharks right now!"

Watching David Rogers’s pathetic display, Fang Chenyi felt a deep sense of contempt. At the same time, he couldn’t help but wonder how such a man ever became the captain of a cruise ship. It was truly surprising.

Of course, a person like this would also be the type to hold a grudge. Therefore, Fang Chenyi had no intention of letting him go.

’But now is obviously not the time,’ he mused. ’I still need him.’

"Alright, sparing you isn’t out of the question," Fang Chenyi said. "How about this: first, use the cruise ship’s internal communication system to tell everyone that I am now on board. Tell them all to be on their best behavior, and send my photo to all the crew members! Once you’ve done all that, I can send you on your way. And I won’t take your three million in savings."

When Fang Chenyi said this, it was clearly a trap. He said he would "send David Rogers on his way," but he never specified where. Of course, "on his way" could mean to the bottom of the sea, or into the belly of a fish.

The Fang Chenyi of today was no longer the same man he was half a year ago. After surviving a plane crash, pirates, and a series of other incidents, he had learned to be ruthless.

That’s how society was: mercy toward your enemies was cruelty to yourself. He believed that if he let David Rogers go today, the man would definitely find a way to kill him in the future.

Given the choice, Fang Chenyi would, of course, unhesitatingly choose to nip the danger in the bud.

However, David Rogers had long since lost his composure. Hearing that he could leave, he nodded his head repeatedly without the slightest hesitation, profusely thanking Fang Chenyi.
