As night fell, around midnight.
The port where the cruise ship was docked was brightly lit, as Harker's men had taken control of the surrounding area.
Country A is chaotic, and the Silver Triangle is even more chaotic. Order is a joke here. From the police to people like Harker, they are rotten to the core. Harker only occupies a port in his territory, and no one dares to speak out.
Hack walked at the front, with his henchmen protecting him from behind.
A large group of people arrived at the cruise ship, and most of the mercenaries that Lin Chen brought followed that young master Lin to receive hospitality from Hark and his men.
After all, this is Hark's territory, and these are their trading goods, so there's no way anything could go wrong. Therefore, there aren't many people left behind, just a few mercenaries talking.
The henchman following Hack couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Boss, is it okay if we just come here like this?"
"Those are our goods, why is that not allowed?"
Hark snorted, but his eyes revealed an uncontrollable greed. He muttered, "I thought you were my confidant, but how come you can't even learn half of my shrewdness?"
"Young Master Lin only knows that we have a small business deal, so why would he care? We're the buyers, so what's wrong with us coming to take a look beforehand? Don't forget our real goal!"
At this point, the younger brother who had asked in a low voice fell silent. Even Hack couldn't control his greed, so how could he possibly resist it?
As they were talking, Hark had already arrived in front of the mercenaries: "Young man, where is the shipment that was brought here?"
"Mr. Hack."
The mercenaries nodded in acknowledgment, and one of them said, "Since the young master has not yet notified us of the transaction, the goods are naturally in our custody. Mr. Hark, do you have any instructions?"
Hearing this, Hack laughed: "Young Master Lin is probably having a great time right now, so why bother him? The final payment will be here soon. But I'd like to see the goods that Young Master Lin brought over, since something happened last time."
Just as the mercenary hesitated, a series of footsteps suddenly approached, followed by a calm voice: "Go down, I'll handle it."
Not far away, a tall young man strolled over, and beside him was a girl whose beauty was beyond compare even in the darkness. As for the mercenary from before, he followed behind with a gun.
Hack hurriedly greeted Lin Chen, but when his gaze swept over Ruan Qing'an, all traces of his previous greed vanished. Instead, he hastily averted his eyes—this woman is a source of trouble, she must not be touched!
In front of the cruise ship, Hack and Lin Chen stood facing each other.
Given Lin Chen's status, Hark first said politely, "Young Master Lin, I've arranged quite a few entertainment activities after the casino. Why did you suddenly come here?"
"It's nothing. I was just thinking that since Mr. Hack wasn't here, I, as a guest, didn't dare to act too recklessly, as it wouldn't be good for the situation."
Hearing Lin Chen's casual reply, Hark felt an urge to spit in his face. This guy wouldn't act recklessly if he pulled out a gun right in front of him? As long as the consequences are good?
But Hack could only think these words to himself, and on the surface he smiled and said, "It's nothing, I just came to see our goods."
"Speaking of the goods..."
Lin Chen paused: "After the accident during the shipment half a month ago, my father felt very bad. He personally prepared all of these for Mr. Hack. Even I didn't know about them."
Hearing this, Hack's eyes lit up. Lin Chen's words made it clear: "this batch of goods" was his thing!
Hack was certain: "These are just small-scale trinkets. How can they compare to the high-tech stuff that you, Young Master Lin, have? They're far more lethal. The Silver Triangle only needs these."
"In that case, I'll go up and check out the goods. The Silver Triangle is in chaos. Without these things, I wouldn't be able to control those people."
As Hack spoke, he was overjoyed to see Lin Chen slightly step aside to make way for them to board the cruise ship. He immediately led his men onto the ship.
But just as he brushed past Lin Chen, the young man suddenly called out to him—
"Mr. Hack."
"What's wrong, Young Master Lin?"
Hack paused, then subconsciously looked back. He was clearly standing taller, looking down at Lin Chen, but for some reason, he felt that the young man's dark eyes were scrutinizing him from above.
But the feeling of being locked onto by those dark, dangerous eyes was only momentary, and it disappeared by the time Huck came to his senses.
Instead, Lin Chen adopted a nonchalant attitude and casually remarked, "It seems that Mr. Harker and my father have a very good personal relationship."
"ah?"
Hack seemed a little taken aback, but Lin Chen quickly changed the subject: "The people I've arranged to guard over there will open the door for you, Mr. Hack."
Hark nodded as if he understood, then led a group of his underlings onto the cruise ship. One of the mercenaries led the way and soon disappeared from sight.
Lin Chen and his two companions stood still, watching indifferently, seemingly just there to observe.
Ruan Qing'an stood to the side with her head down, tugging at the hem of her clothes, looking rather bored—she hadn't expected that playing the role of a useless beauty would be so boring.
In her mind, she sighed again, feeling a sense of melancholy.
037: [So, if it's not this character setting, what kind of trouble are you planning to cause this time, ancestor?]
Ruan Qingan immediately retorted: "That's not how it works. If it weren't—I would have already grabbed a gun and started shooting."
As the saying goes, all troubles and fears stem from insufficient firepower. If it weren't for the original owner's identity and character setting, Ruan Qing'an wouldn't have bothered to feign friendship with that old bastard Lin Qisheng.
Let's bombard the island with artillery shells and blow it all up, celebrating this scumbag's return to the warm embrace of hell.
037: ...Your brutality is no less impressive.
...
Meanwhile, in a secluded spot at the rear of the cruise ship.
As Huck walked along, he couldn't help but marvel at what he saw. The cruise ship looked like it was only for entertainment, but its tonnage was enough to transport a lot of cargo, all hidden in the shadows.
The mercenaries were taking them to the place where Hack's goods were located. About ten minutes later—
“Mr. Hack, this is it.”
As the mercenary spoke, he opened the hidden door, revealing a number of neatly arranged wooden crates, all of which were well-sealed.
This was all done according to the agreement with Lin Qisheng. Hark was overjoyed. It seemed that Lin Chen really hadn't opened it to check, otherwise there would definitely have been traces.
After the mercenary opened the door, he stood aside and said, "Mr. Hark, please inspect the goods first. I won't bother you any longer."
"Okay, okay."
Hark nodded repeatedly, and after the mercenary left, he immediately turned to his underlings: "Now, check the goods!"
Soon, the group moved the heavy wooden crates and pried them open one by one, revealing them filled with guns and bullets—all the things they had agreed upon with Lin Chen.
Although this arms deal was nothing in Lin Chen's eyes, and the weapons themselves weren't exactly high-quality, it was far better than what Hark's underlings were getting.
But although each of them carried a broken gun, they seemed completely indifferent to these valuable items that could be traded for cannons.
Hack took a deep breath and said, "Open it!"
The henchmen immediately stepped forward and threw all the guns, cannons, and bullets from the wooden crate aside, as if they were throwing away trash.
After quickly emptying the wooden box, Huck stepped forward, reached down and felt around at the bottom of the box. He could vaguely sense the mechanism, and he was overjoyed. He immediately started digging.
Hack's trusted henchman stepped forward and asked, "How's it going, boss?"
"..."
"Boss?"
The younger brother was stunned, because he saw Huck's face visibly turn cold, looking as if he wanted to devour him alive.
Harker was like an enraged bull: "Damn it, who is it? How did my goods disappear?!"
