Li Jia's actions puzzled Riko. She had already attracted many customers using this method, earning a substantial income. Therefore, Riko was very confident in herself. However, this time it failed. Li Jia's calm expression made it clear to her. Li Jia truly didn't need it, at least not now. "Alright then, what do you want to know? I've lived here for five years. I can be your tour guide."
“Yes. You’ll be my tour guide before the ship arrives at the station. This is my first time here. I’m usually too busy with work to come out and relax. Today is a rare opportunity to unwind. The pressure at work is just too much!” Li Jia spoke with a perfect Tokyo accent, leaving Riko with no doubt whatsoever. Instead, she nodded excitedly, feeling grateful to have met such a courteous guest for the first time. She became even more enthusiastic towards Li Jia.
"The scenery here is so beautiful. Life here must be much better than in Tokyo. When I retire, I'll build a house on this island. Then I can fish and play golf every day. It's such an exciting life!" Li Jia exclaimed, looking at Camar Island, which was just beginning to emerge in the distance.
Actually, Li Jia is right. This is indeed a good place to live. The only thing to worry about is the occasional earthquake.
“Jin Quan’s dream will definitely come true.” Riko nodded in agreement from the side, and she also had a very good impression of Li Jia. Young, wealthy, and gentle men are rare to find here.
"By the way, who's the richest person here? Is it that Hiromoto Ichiro?" Li Jia's words made Riko's eyes flicker. But she still nodded. "Yes, Hiromoto Ichiro is the richest person here. The entire Camar Island is his private property. And some of the surrounding unnamed islands are also his property. It's just that he's very ruthless, and everyone in Nagasaki knows him." When Hiromoto Ichiro was mentioned, Riko seemed to harbor deep hatred, her eyes filled with resentment as she looked at the distant islands.
"You hate him? Do you have a grudge against him?" Li Jia asked immediately upon seeing Riko's expression. If it were true, then Riko would definitely know some useful information about Mitsumoto Ichiro. Although it might not be very valuable to her, knowing more is never a bad thing.
“He killed my man. He killed my man!” Riko’s still-childish face contorted, and her fingers turned pale from clenching her fists so tightly.
"So you should know something about him now? Why don't you tell me? Maybe I can help you?" Li Jia said jokingly, but Riko's expression immediately darkened. "Thank you for your kindness, Jinbao-kun. I can't take revenge. Because I don't have the strength. So, for Riko, being able to continue living is the greatest happiness."
"Oh, alright then. I'd like to learn more about this Hiromoto Ichiro, because my company has a business deal with him coming up. So I'm here to get a feel for things first, to see if the business is really going to lose money." Li Jia casually made up an excuse for herself, tossing the beer bottle in her hand into the churning seawater. Then she adjusted her posture, smiling as she looked at Riko, awaiting her answer.
"Everything on the island belongs to him. The weapons, the hotels, every blade of grass—it all belongs to him. No one who does business with him ever makes money from him. I advise Jinbaojun to give up on coming here from Green Island. Even the waters are under his control. If his island weren't so large, only a portion would be open, and we wouldn't have had the chance to set foot on that island." Li Zi's words were filled with fear, and her eyes pleaded with Li Jia, begging her not to do business with him.
"Okay, I'll think about it. Alright. It's about time. Here's your payment, now you can leave!" Li Jia said, handing Riko two dark yellow 10,000 yuan bills. Then she got up and left the stern. Riko held the 20,000 yuan Li Jia had given her, a strange expression flashing in her eyes as she watched Li Jia disappear onto the deck.
