"One hundred thousand, including the car. We leave immediately. I'll pay thirty thousand now, and the rest when we arrive." Li Qingyuan showed no surprise at the Captain's price gouging, and stated it directly.
These people in the Underworld were never good people. It would be strange if they didn't try to raise the price!
The Captain sized them up carefully, exchanging glances with his crewmen, before finally nodding.
"Qingyuan-gege, these people look so scary!"
Only after the three of them had entered the cabin below deck did Pietro dare to speak.
"You and Wanda stay here and don't move. Don't go out tonight, no matter what happens." Li Qingyuan patted Wanda's head reassuringly.
"Is there danger?" Wanda looked up timidly, her large eyes glistening as if with tears.
Even though she knew she shouldn't cry at a time like this, she couldn't help but shed tears.
"It's nothing, just in case!" Li Qingyuan played with the clay in his hand, a cold glint slowly appearing in his eyes.
I hope these people don't go looking for trouble!
He just wanted to leave this godforsaken place safely and didn't want any more trouble on the way.
"Boss, when do we make our move?"
Above deck, the Bosun, who also moonlighted as a smuggler, asked the Captain.
In the business of the sea, especially in their Underworld business, none of them were good people.
The Captain didn't speak. He had been in business for so long that he naturally knew who could be provoked and who couldn't. Li Qingyuan's composure and experience just now made him a little uncertain, not knowing if the other party had something to rely on.
"We'll tie up those three first, get the money, and then kill that Chinese guy. We can have some fun with the other two kids before selling them to the movies. With their looks, they'll fetch at least a hundred thousand!" The Bosun began to calculate his rosy future.
Making two hundred thousand on one deal, with at least twenty thousand for himself. If he could pull this off three times a year, he'd be making a hundred thousand a year!
"We'll make our move midway," the Captain thought, encouraged by his subordinates, feeling like he must not have slept well last night and was losing it!
How could there be so many people pretending to be weak? That young man just looked like an ordinary guy. Although he could see the gun at his waist, what did it matter?
Everyone on their ship had a gun!
Six guns against one gun, who would win?
Not to mention, they were all seasoned professionals at killing and covering their tracks, so how could they be afraid of a youngster?
"Add something to their dinner later. If we can avoid a fight, that's best!" However, as a veteran of the sea for over a decade, the Captain finally ordered.
"Understood, Captain!" The Bosun nodded and excitedly left. He'd have a new toy to play with tonight, so naturally, he was thrilled.
"Sigh!"
Li Qingyuan sighed slightly, looking at the food placed before him.
It seemed he still had to get his hands dirty!
Pietro reached for the milk, but immediately recoiled his hand as soon as he touched the glass.
No way, it hurt. He covered the back of his hand and looked at Li Qingyuan with a face full of grievance, not understanding why he was being hit.
Ignoring Pietro's aggrieved gaze, Li Qingyuan picked up Wanda.
The two children had been cooped up in the cabin all afternoon, so they were quite emotional at the sudden sight of hot milk. Wanda, like Pietro, had rushed forward, ready to drink.
However, she hadn't even reached the table before Li Qingyuan scooped her up. Because it was difficult to stop her while holding Wanda, Li Qingyuan had directly smacked Pietro's hand with the bamboo board he held.
With your level of vigilance, you dared to be wary of me before? You really don't know anything.
"These things can't be eaten. Looks like they want to go all the way to the end!" Even though he hadn't acquired a skill like "Toxin Mastery," it was obvious. Hot milk was a luxury, and if they didn't have some ulterior motive, why would they give it to them?
"The milk is poisoned?" Pietro and Wanda's eyes widened. Although they were more sensible than other children, they hadn't expected the adult world to be so treacherous.
"I'll go out and take a look. You two lock the door. Unless I call out, don't open it for anyone! If someone comes in, shoot them directly!" He took a Beretta from his waist. He had originally intended to give it to Wanda, but after thinking about it, he handed it to Pietro.
"The safety is here. Press it first to fire. Wanda is under your protection. Got it?" Li Qingyuan said to Pietro, rarely showing such kindness.
"Understood! I will definitely protect my sister!" Pietro nodded excitedly. He was finally getting the treatment of an adult!
"Remember, unless I give the order, don't hesitate to shoot anyone who opens the door!"
Giving a gun to a ten-year-old might seem like a joke, but there really wasn't a better option right now.
Rather than wait for those guys to rush down, it was better to go up and handle everything himself.
Honestly, if it weren't for the fact that he couldn't sail a boat and didn't know the route, he would've killed all of these people a long time ago, and there wouldn't be this situation.
"You have to come back!" Li Qingyuan started to push the door open, but he saw Wanda tightly gripping his clothes, whispering.
"Don't worry, I'll be fine!" He rubbed Wanda's little face, and then cheerfully opened the door and walked out.
The Smuggling Ship was small, and after opening the cabin door, a couple of steps led directly onto the deck.
The few sailors who were squatting on the deck smoking cigarettes were a bit surprised to see him climb up. They were waiting to go down and have some fun later, so why did the other person come up himself?
"You're all here!" Li Qingyuan said with a helpless shrug, seeing the few sailors and the Captain gathered together on the ship.
He really had a big mouth, always speaking things into existence.
If they said there wasn't something fishy going on with those expressions, then even a ghost wouldn't believe it!
The few sailors all looked at the Captain, waiting for his orders.
The Captain frowned, looking at Li Qingyuan who had appeared before him, constantly calculating in his mind.
Was this guy truly impressive, or just a naive newbie who didn't know any better?
But just because he didn't move didn't mean others wouldn't.
The Bosun stepped out with a sneer.
"Kid, since you came out on your own, that makes things easier. Hand over all your money obediently, and then tie yourself up. Your old man here is feeling generous, and might just let you live!"
