Chapter 509: Terms Of Compensation
With that thought in mind, Xiao Fang put down the documents and said to Su Yang, “Mr. Su, I’m really sorry that something like this has happened. I’ll contact our boss now and see how this matter can be resolved.”
“Don’t worry, I will definitely give you an explanation for this!”
His words were filled with sincerity, even Su Yang’s Silver [Space Traversing Eyes] clearly reflected his emotions. [Sincere], [Sincere], [Sincere].
Su Yang was relieved. He felt that things would be much smoother now that he had teamed up with Xiao Fang.
After that, Xiao Fang went to give his boss a call while Su Yang took out Little Deeny and started to look at the stock market, or rather, yesterday’s stock market.
The distance between Hawaii and Shanghai was very far, so there was an 18-hour time difference. While it was 10am in Hawaii on a Monday, it was already Tuesday, 4am in Shanghai.
After reaching its upper limit on Friday, SUNDAY continued to hit its upper limit on Monday again, beginning to show hints of something monstrous going on.
Su Yang took the opportunity to let Little Hus sniff SUNDAY again. It was the same strange fragrance that it had picked up previously. Intense in the beginning, stabilizing halfway and becoming mellow towards the end. It was no different from what it had sniffed on Friday.
Su Yang was feeling depressed. ‘What’s going on?
‘What does the fragrance mean?
‘Could it be that the bankers have yet to make a final decision on the direction of this stock?
‘Even if that’s the case, there shouldn’t be different levels of fragrances…’
Su Yang was puzzled, extremely puzzled
He felt that the only way to answer his question was to give Little Hus an extra point!
‘If I add another point onto Little Hus, it’s ability might evolve as well. When that happens, it might know what the fragrance means.
‘It just so happens that I’m quite free recently, adding a point onto Little Hus would consider to be finding something to do.’
When Su Yang made his decision, Xiao Fang returned to the table with a furious expression.
He looked at Su Yang and did not say anything for a long time. Just when Su Yang thought that he had used his [Hands Of Fate] to stop time, Xiao Fang behaved rather unnatural as he said, “Mr. Su, I just called my boss. My boss was furious when he heard about this.”
The [Space Traversing Eyes] popped up notifications that stated. [Lies], [Lies], [Lies].
Xiao Fang continued to say, “However, despite how angry he was, there’s nothing else he can do. Hawaii belongs to the United States, so our country can’t do anything about it. In this situation, even though the other party has violated morals, we can’t call the police and sue them because there weren’t any losses caused.”
[Space Traversing Eyes] judged it as. [Truth], [Truth]…
Xiao Fang continued again, “Besides, even if we did sue them, we can’t afford to fight a transnational lawsuit. So…”
He paused and said, “Our boss hopes that this matter can be omitted and cast aside.”
“Other than that, he also advised us not to make a big deal out of it and to leave this place immediately so that our safety would not be threatened. This is because our partnering company in Honolulu is affiliated with the mafia. Therefore, he’s afraid that if we expose them on the spot, we might run into danger.”
[Space Traversing Eyes] judged it as. [Truth], [Truth]…
Su Yang looked at Xiao Fang with a grim expression. He did not expect such an outcome. “Then, am I supposed to suffer this loss for nothing? Although I’m not extremely busy, I’m still a very busy man. I flew for 9 hours before reaching Honolulu, yet now I’m supposed to hurry back again?”
Xiao Fang shook his head in embarrassment. “Mr. Su, please don’t be angry. We will compensate you for all your losses, including your flight tickets, hotel, and the plane tickets that you’ve booked for me. It’ll all be compensated to you by our company in full.”
“As for your time loss, we really can’t do anything about it. After all, we can’t turn back in time. However, our boss said that if you still trust us and are willing to continue buying islands, no matter how much the island costs, we will waive our intermediary fees.”
“If you need us to help you with any business overseas, we will do it for free twice.”
“So, would that be acceptable for you?”
[Space Traversing Eyes] judged it as. [Sincere], [Sincere]…
Su Yang pondered for a moment. ‘Actually, the intermediary fees for these kinds of cross-border transactions are very expensive. Usually, the intermediary fees range from 5% to 15%, depending on the country.
‘Whatever it is, this is a business that’s worth millions or even tens of millions of USD. 5% alone is already a considerable amount. For example, an island worth USD 10 million will have an intermediary fee of 500,000 USD, which is over 3 million yuan!
‘So, it’s actually quite satisfying to be able to save an amount of money from here.
‘As for the other services, they charge quite a high fee as well. For example, building an overseas company, or dealing with foreign currency at a reasonable rate, they all cost about tens of thousands of yuan.’
Su Yang thought about it and agreed.
“Alright, sure. I can accept these terms of compensation.”
When Xiao Fang heard what Su Yang said, a smile finally bloomed on his face. It was obvious that he felt guilty about how things ended up. Now that Su Yang had agreed to the compensation, he felt much better.
However, just when he thought that the matter was over, Su Yang spoke again. “However… I want the information on the local partner that you’re collaborating with, that includes their company name, their boss’s name, their company’s address, and their contact details.”
Xiao Fang was shocked. “Mr. Su, you…”
Su Yang waved his hand. “Don’t misunderstand my intentions. I know that I can’t deal with them, so I’m just collecting information.”
“After all… Just because they can’t be dealt with now doesn’t mean they can’t be dealt with in the future. Also, I can focus on dealing with them, reporting or suing them for instance.”
When Xiao Fang heard Su Yang’s words, a thoughtful expression appeared on his face. Obviously… He did not believe what Su Yang had just said.
However, once Su Yang activated [The Devil’s Angel Halo] together with his [Verbal Cannon] ability, even if he felt that there was something wrong with Su Yang’s request, he could only pass the information to Su Yang obediently.
After obtaining what he wanted, Su Yang listed out the cost of his trip to Honolulu as well as his hotel stay and gave it to Xiao Fang.
Even though Su Yang did not give him an invoice or a third party’s itinerary, Xiao Fang took a look and realized that the prices offered were normal. In fact, they were quite low, hence he accepted it since their company was in the wrong after all. If they kept asking for details, it was as if they were deliberately reneging on their debt.
After resolving everything, Su Yang left the hotel while humming a tune.
‘Have I actually managed to earn some money during my trip to buy an island? How unexpected.
‘Yes, that’s right. Not only have I “snuck” into Honolulu, I haven’t even stayed in a hotel and had just found a quiet corner and stuck Little Deeny on the wall before entering the virtual space.
‘I didn’t do it not because I was being stingy, but I haven’t got a passport, so I can’t stay at the hotel. Otherwise, I would much rather spend some money for more security. After all, it’s much easier for someone to discover me on the streets rather than in a hotel room.
After leaving the hotel, Su Yang found a remote corner and placed the information into the virtual space for Little Deeny to analyze. Then, he strolled on Waikiki Beach and admired the dark blue skies of Hawaii.
Very soon, Little Deeny’s analysis came out. “Master, based on this information, I’ve looked up all the public documents from various departments in Hawaii. I’ve also looked it up on Facebook, Twitter and other social media softwares and found a lot of information about this agency.”
“This agency does have some affiliations with the mafia, but their businesses are legitimate most of the time and they will only use force when necessary. Plus, the boss of this agency is a 40-year-old man named Kerry.”
“I checked his Facebook page and found that he often goes to a bar called “Nocturna Lounge” at night to have a drink. There are 8 pictures of him at that bar over the past 10 days. This is probably how he spends his nights.”
“Nocturna Lounge?” Su Yang repeated the name. His English was good, so he immediately understood what the name meant. ‘Nocturna Lounge? Lullaby Pub? The name… Doesn’t sound like a proper pub.’
With that thought in mind, Su Yang said to Little Deeny, “Give me the address of that pub. Let’s meet the leader of the mafia tonight and see if we can seek any justice for ourselves.”
“Yes, Master.”
…
At night, Su Yang followed the address Little Deeny gave him to the bar called Nocturna Lounge.00
Su Yang, who had never been to a foreign bar before, was stunned by the outlook of the bar. ‘It’s a complete mess. All the men and women seemed to have gone crazy as they swayed under the colorful lights. The deafening music’s so loud that my eardrums feel like they’re going to get blown up.’
He thought about it for a while as he stood outside the door. Then, he took out the [Fruit-Loving Pen] and imagined the picture of Kerry that he had seen that afternoon. Then he recited his name.
As expected, the [Fruit-Loving Pen] started moving on its own. Then, it wrote down the address of Nocturna Lounge on the paper.
After Su Yang confirmed it, he did not intend to go in. Instead, he went to a remote alley. After confirming that there was no one around and that there were no surveillance cameras, he called out to Janet and asked him to call Kerry out.
As for why Su Yang was so confident that Janet could call Kerry out, it was because according to Little Deeny’s information, Kerry was a pervert. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be flirting with girls at the bar every day.
‘With Janet’s appearance and cold demeanor, Kerry will definitely take the bait.
‘However, it’s a pity that Kerry will never have thought that the “woman” before him would be even more powerful than him…’
As expected, within five minutes, Janet and a 1.9-meter tall man with tattoos walked out of the bar.
Based on the photos that Su Yang had seen, the person before him was the boss who had tricked his middleman, Kerry.
Kerry was very happy that day because his gang had won their territory war with another gang, he had even won gloriously. His performance during the operation had been very outstanding and he had also received the praise of the mafia’s leader. So, in a good mood, he went to the bar that he frequented to get a drink.
Kerry relished the moments where he would hang around with the ridiculously drunk girls while he himself was just slightly tipsy himself.
That’s right, he had a secret fetish that could not be known to outsiders. He had a very unique sexual orientation and preferred girls who were unconscious. The less conscious they were, the more agitated he became.
That was why he liked to frequent that kind of pub to drink and fish for his prey.
After sitting at the bar for about half an hour, Kerry sat in the booth and drank while slowly searching for his target. A good hunter had to be patient and not rush.
Sure enough, not long after, the door to the bar was pushed open, and a very pretty unfamiliar woman entered…
