Chapter 749: I am lucky to get it, but I will die if I lose it

Xiao Peng and Pascal were having a small meeting, while Branson was also having a meeting on the other side.

"Are you sure you're not mistaken?" Branson said to the computer. "Are they really talking about pirate treasure this time? Your information isn't fake, is it?"

The person on the computer said, "This should be correct. I hired twelve prostitutes to approach the people on their ship. This information came from Xiao's people on the Mediterranean ship, and that's where the clue was found. The guy was drunk and boasted that they had found clues to the pirate treasure."

Branson frowned and said, "Pirate treasure? You believe in fairy tales like that? It's not something those prostitutes made up after taking your money and not doing anything with you, right? There's no pirate treasure in this world that has been proven to exist."

The person on the other end of the computer burst into laughter. "I'd understand if someone else said that, but who are you? The famous 'Dreamer' Richard Branson, and the first thing you doubt about this news is its authenticity? Aren't you a hardworking little dog?"

Branson was silent for a moment. "I don't understand. You're also a 'hardworking puppy,' so why would you give me such an opportunity?"

"Damn it, do you think I don't want to?" The person on the computer suddenly became angry. "Damn it, do you know how many ships I hired in the North Sea? Do you know how many people I planted in the North Sea? And that guy actually filmed a documentary there! Cough cough cough cough! If it weren't for this, would I have told you what happened? I'm sharing it with you now! You should know the rules! Cough cough cough cough cough - if you really find anything, I must have a share! And notify me as soon as possible! Cough cough cough cough cough!"

"Old buddy!" Branson said quickly, "Hey, hey! Don't get excited! Why are you coughing so hard? Don't be so angry! Drink some water!"

"How can I not be angry!" the person on the other side of the computer shouted.

Branson said, "Well, old man, I don't care what happened to you, but I can tell you one thing: you also said that his ship is in Germany. They came here alone without any tools. Don't tell me he can find the shipwreck on his own!"

"Damn Branson, why are you still saying this now? Don't you know that Xiao's nickname is 'Shark Whisperer'? The Caribbean Sea lacks everything, but it has no shortage of sharks! Cough cough cough cough!" said the person on the other end of the computer.

Branson thought for a moment. "I understand what you mean. Although I always thought his 'Jaws Live' was just a good advertisement and there must be some trick we haven't figured out, you're right. I wouldn't be Richard Branson if I lost my dream. I'll keep an eye on him. But old friend, you should pay attention to your health. Why is your cough so bad?"

"It's just a cold!" said the person on the other end of the computer.

Branson nodded and said, "God bless you to get well soon. Okay, I won't tell you anymore. I'll have a couple of drinks with him tonight and get him to talk. He's a young man after all, so it shouldn't be as troublesome as you think!"

"Branson! Cough cough cough!" the person on the other end of the computer yelled, "Don't underestimate him! He's much more cunning than you think!"

"Okay, old buddy, you'd better take care of yourself. I heard you're not doing well lately!" Branson said.

The computer shouted, "I'm not doing well? I'm better than anyone else! Don't believe that nonsense!"

Branson smiled and said, "Of course I don't believe it. I have my own judgment. Okay, old friend, I won't tell you anymore. I'll keep an eye on him. You're right, I'm the adventurous Branson! I'm also the 'hardworking puppy' Branson. The world's first real pirate treasure? It sounds pretty cool!"

After he finished speaking, he closed his computer, lit a cigar, and fell into deep thought. After a while, he pressed the intercom on the table: "Simon, how are the guests? What are they doing?"

"Boss, they just finished playing tennis and are now going back to wash up. They just asked us to prepare dinner." Simon replied.

"Simon, is there anything unusual about them?" Branson asked. "I mean that Oriental guy Xiao."

Simon thought for a moment. "Nothing unusual. If there is anything unusual, it's that he can't play tennis at all. I can't imagine that. Oh, and there's a broken tree next to the tennis court..."

"A tree broke?" Branson asked curiously, "How did it break?"

Simon said, "Boss, it's just a tree. How can I ask that question? They explained it themselves, saying it was broken by a tennis ball! A tennis ball? Even if they were lying, they should have found a reasonable excuse, right?"

Branson thought for a moment and said, "Great, that's an interesting guy. Let's have a celebration at dinner."

After he finished speaking, he hung up the intercom and turned on his computer again. Inside was Xiao Peng's video. He muttered to himself, "Salvage King, Salvage King... What are you doing here? Is it pirate treasure or are you really here for vacation?"

In Pascal's room, Xiao Peng was also sitting in front of the computer, and he also had a headache.

"So many?" Xiao Peng said helplessly.

Pascal nodded and said, "This is the seabed topography here. After all, this is in a volcanic zone. There are circular traces under the seabed caused by large amounts of methane explosions. These explosions have also caused huge changes in the topography. The seabed topography here is extremely complex. And..."

"And?" Xiao Peng was stunned: "And what?"

"Have you seen Pirates of the Caribbean 3?" Pascal asked. "Do you remember the tokens of the alliance between the nine pirate kings? That pile of junk, fake eyes, bottle caps, playing cards, glasses, and the like. I'm thinking, pirates back then were a bunch of daydreamers. How much wealth could they leave behind? I'm afraid even if we find pirate treasure, what if it's just a pile of rum bottles? Of course, every treasure hunt is a risk, a gamble. I understand that, but I just feel... the uncertainty of this matter is too high! Of course, I'm just expressing my own opinion. After all, you've always had the final say on salvage matters! But based on my current investigation, the situation is really not optimistic!"

After hearing this, Xiao Peng smiled and said, "Your judgment is very good!"

"Ah?" Pascal was stunned.

Xiao Peng said, "If I win, I'll die. If I lose, I'll be lucky. Let's have fun this time. Maybe the treasure will appear before our eyes! Right now, I have more important things to do than salvaging the treasure!"

"What?"

“Learn to play tennis!”
