Chapter 1290: Another Dispute

At this moment, in a villa in the Netherlands, a group of people were sitting there and arguing fiercely.

"This is theft! We must catch him!"

"Yes, we send the navy over there! Seize his ship! Isn't that how Spain seized the Odyssey Company? We can do it too!"

"Shut up! Going to the high seas to seize the 'Salvage King's' ship? That's the high seas! And does that mean the history of the Salvage Alliance will end? Can you handle that responsibility?"

"I've always said this is a bullshit salvage alliance! You guys are selling out our country for money!"

"Come on! You're just saying that because you haven't caught up with the money-making opportunities! The benefits of establishing a salvage alliance are obvious! Currently, industries including shipbuilding, ship repair, and marine technology research and development are all booming! How much economic growth has this brought? How many jobs and tax revenues has it solved?"

"I understand you're talking about ship repair and marine technology research and development, but the shipbuilding industry is a dead end! As far as I know, many ship orders are now being placed with Daxia! Why are you engaging in a price war with Daxia?"

"But other industries are booming! Even many small coastal ports have seen their economies develop with the arrival of ocean exploration companies, even boosting tourism! Isn't the 'shipwreck search tour' the hottest thing right now? It's a clear benefit to the public!"

"Shut up! Your ancestral relics aren't on that ship, so that's why you're saying that!"

"Just shut up! What did you say when he got on the Viking ship a few days ago and the British were stamping their feet in anger? I remember you were the one shouting the loudest, saying things like, 'This is completely in line with the law, the British are just being unreasonable.' What's wrong now? Are you being unreasonable too?"

“This is different!”

"What's the difference?"

"Have you two had enough of arguing? Now we should talk about what to do!"

"What else can we do? Can we really capture him? Well, then all the trouble King William went to to keep him in the Netherlands will be in vain! Do you want him to go to Germany, France, or Belgium? Send the God of Wealth away yourselves?"

"What God of Wealth! You're betraying our country by letting an Oriental do whatever he wants here!"

"OK, Mr. Vanderdale, since you said so, I will contact the media right now and tell them that we want to get rid of Xiao. This was your suggestion and your insistence!"

"Uh... I didn't say get rid of him, I just said to control him."

"Mr. Vanderdale, how do you say we can control him? Can you give us some advice?"

"We need to pass a law regarding the ownership of deep-sea salvage!"

"Enact it now? Do you think it's too late? And what if the regulations are enacted and he's gone?"

"We'll seize his ship!"

"Do you think he cares? He's the guy who'd even give away Villa Eikenhorst! Vanderdale, please stop giving me such stupid advice, okay?"

"Bad idea? Damn it! My grandfather's belongings are on the Tiaz! I want them back!"

"Then buy it from him!"

“I still have to spend money on things in my house?”

"Then go find Xiao!"

"Is it possible for him to give it to me? Even the British royal family refused to give him Viking shipwrecks and Drake's treasure. How can I ask him for them?"

"The British royal family isn't familiar with them, but our royal family is familiar with him. King William, what do you think about this?"

"Huh?" William, who was distracted, came back to his senses when he heard someone calling him: "What's going on?"

"King William, how can you be so indifferent to what's happening now?" the man named Vanderdale said angrily, "Many of us here have our ancestors' wealth on the 'Tiaz', including your great-grandmother's! Are you just going to watch that Daxia man take it away like this? This is theft! This is robbery!"

"Oh..." William nodded after hearing this.

"Oh?" Vanderdale was stunned. "King William, what does 'oh' mean?"

William said: "'Oh' means I know!"

He stood up straight away after he finished speaking, and his waiter came over with his coat and helped him get dressed.

"King William, where are you going?" everyone asked hurriedly.

William said, "Where can I go? Go home and watch his live broadcast! You guys are too noisy here, I can't watch it seriously!"

"..." Everyone's faces were filled with gloom. The man who had been arguing with Vanderdale said, "King William, you can't leave. You and Xiao have the best relationship. Although Vanderdale just gave a lot of bad advice, he's right about one thing. If that really is the wealth on the 'Tiaz', it must be closely related to many people here, including you. We can't just watch him take everything back! Give me some advice."

"I gave him advice?" William was furious after hearing this. "What advice did I give? You said you wanted to improve the Netherlands' position in the EU and persuaded me to bring Xiao Peng over. Well, I went to France and lost my daughter and the Eikenhorst Villa! I finally brought him here, and what happened? You bastards! You thought the people from Daxia shouldn't be so arrogant here and put obstacles in his way! Vanderdale! You're giving him a ticket for fishing in his own yard! Don't think I don't know your little calculations! And Ms. Dorothy, it was your idea for PETA to cause trouble for Xiao Peng? You have a close relationship with that Jenny Miranda. It's understandable that you rely on the 'environmental protection card' to gain support. You also have shares in PETA's artificial meat factory, right? But what should you do now? Based on my understanding of Xiao Peng, the evidence he can produce is definitely irrefutable. If you don't handle this matter well, you'll have to watch out! And you... forget it, I won't say anything. I know all the bad things you've done."

William glanced around when he said this: "As the King of the Netherlands, all the people are my subjects. Making their lives better is what I should consider, so I did not hesitate to take out the Eikenhorst Villa. Facts have proved that I was right to do so. Now the lives of countless people have begun to improve because of the development of the ocean exploration industry. For me, my efforts are not in vain! But what about you? Not only do you not help me, but you also cause me all kinds of trouble! Now I have taken out the Orange Garden again. Even if I were the King of the Netherlands, I don’t have so many assets to spend! You are right. Xiao and I have a good personal relationship, and he is not a person who values wealth. I don’t think I need to worry about the things you are worried about. As for you? This time you have to figure it out yourself! Xiao originally said something about Germans, and now I find that it can also be applied to you: begging for food and still complaining about the food being cold! This sentence is really right to describe people like you!"
