Chapter 246 Sora Arrives
Chapter 246 Sora Arrives
After dealing with the [Water Gods], a group of people returned to the Capital of Seven Waters on the Mermaid Hymn. They parked the boat, and a group of shipping industry leaders who had been waiting on the embankment gathered around them.
"How's it going? Is it solved?" The eager chairman of the shipbuilding industry and commerce association, an old man wearing a white kimono and leaning on a cane, eagerly gathered around Darrow before they could get off the boat, and the scene was chaotic for a while.
"Let's go inside and talk together." Looking at the noisy crowd, Darrow, who had just jumped off the deck and hadn't had time to breathe, said with a wry smile.
"Of course, of course!" Facing a great hero, who dares to have an opinion, so Darrow and his party were greeted to the white room located on the dome of the Seven Waters Capital where they held the last meeting.
"Miss Gwent, tell us quickly whether the [Water Gods] have been successfully solved this time!" The second-in-command of the Shipbuilding Industry Union, the balding old man with scars on his head,
In fact, everyone was not blind. It could be seen from the dark clouds that dissipated in the distance that the actions taken by Darrow and the others must have worked.
But for the specific situation, they still want to hear an accurate answer from Gwent, a professional.
"Haha! Although it took a lot of effort, but in short... fortunately, we have defeated the [Water Gods]!" Gwent responded with a smile.
"This is really great!" After hearing Gwent's reply, the people in front of the round table once again made a commotion. Some even stood up from their seats, clenched their fists, cheered, and high-fived each other.
Ever since they learned that the scale of the [Water Gods] this time was far greater than before, and might even directly cause a devastating blow to the Seven Waters Capital, this group of shipping tycoons who relied on the Seven Waters Capital to develop have become worried.
And now that the Sword of Damocles hanging over their heads has finally disappeared, this group of old capitalists are relieved.
"So... President Birmingham, the remuneration we agreed on before..." Seeing the other party's reaction, Gwent also said that he would follow the trend and openly stated the issue of remuneration.
But Darrow on the side looked at Gwent with a strange face, and muttered in his heart: "Why didn't I notice this girl's money-obsessed nature before?"
In the end, Darrow just attributed this temperament to the commonality of navigators like Nami - they studied meteorology.
This is really an injustice to Gwent. If it weren't for Darrow, a prodigal son who spends money outside every day, the Shantora gold on Sky Island alone would be enough for the development of Sky Island.
How come Gwent, the queen of the Sky Island, has to go to Qinghai to solve meteorological problems in exchange for remuneration, thus increasing revenue and reducing expenditure.
"What are you looking at! Huh..." Gwent became angrier as she thought about it, glared at Darrow with dissatisfaction, and then walked away, leaving Darrow alone looking at each other.
"What's wrong!" Feeling inexplicable, Darrow could only mutter in a low voice, then followed Gwent obediently with the suitcase containing the 1.4 billion reward.
A few days later.
After receiving a large reward, Darrow and the others started a "massacre" in the commercial street of the Capital of Seven Waters. A few girls in particular, under the guise of buying items for the new ship, waved Bailey and almost destroyed the entire Seven Waters. The capital is short.
"No, I said, Gwent, you are really struggling. How come you were still acting like Grandet a few days ago, and now you are so generous?" Darrow, who was following behind with various paper bags, asked curiously. .
"Haha, Kongdao has been developing well recently, and several cooperations with [Deep Sea Logistics] have gone very smoothly. It is said that Kongbei has been sold out in several branches in New World." Gwent turned his head and blinked. He rolled his eyes and replied with a smile.
In other words, there is no shortage of money.
"That's right! It seems that Yumit is quite reliable." Darrow said with a smile. To be honest, Darrow wasn't very concerned about the previous cooperation, but Yumit was not. Think so.
After carrying the high installment compensation that Darrow promised to Rocks, Yumit almost entered the volume king mode. As soon as Darrow and the others arrived in the Capital of Seven Waters, he took advantage of the opportunity. The ship returned to the New World.
In the following days, this guy made big news almost every day. First, he took over Du Felder's loan sharking exchange and Gilbertson's chain of warehouses with thunderous means.
Although most of these two industries were hollowed out by fleeing employees, the overall framework and some assets still made him rich.
In addition, Keith directly replaced Daisy Qi's position, taking over all the properties under Daisy Qi's name almost at no cost, becoming the new Queen of Happy Street.
With this, in addition to the newly emerging Morgans and the World Economic News that has not yet been created, Darrow has almost included several pillar industries in the underground world and has become the king of the underground hidden behind.
Here we have to mention the second benefit of recruiting Yumit, that is, Darrow and the others no longer need to go to the next island to replenish supplies after every battle.
With many industries in the underground world, Darrow can ask Yumit to purchase all the materials and store them in the [warehouse] in advance, and then transport them through the [Deep Sea Logistics] route, so that Darrow only needs to go to the island. [Deep Sea Logistics] Just pick it up at the site.
While they were chatting, they went shopping in a clothing store that specialized in long windbreakers, and Darrow also bought himself a long double-breasted woolen gray windbreaker.
He originally had one, but it was thrown into the sea when he was facing the [Water Gods]. He liked that dress quite a lot, so he bought another one.
After settling the bill, several people walked out of the store again.
Suddenly, from the corner of his eye, Darrow noticed a man in a white cloak on the sloping roof of a three-story bungalow at the corner of the street. He was standing next to the chimney. Those telescopes were staring at this side furtively.
"Ha! These guys are hiding their heads and showing their tails!"
Darrow looked at CP0 No. in the distance and smiled scornfully. Since they took action to deal with the [Water Gods] this time, the identities of Darrow and the traveling merchants have gradually been exposed.
Now the entire streets and hotels of the Seven Waters City are covered with informants of the navy and CP organizations.
These guys don't have Case's ability to twist fruits. No matter how well they disguise themselves, they are as conspicuous as light bulbs in front of Darrow, who has rare insights.
"Darrow, do you want...me..."
Sofia on the side pursed her lips in the direction of the roof. At the same time, she made two gestures on her neck with her right hand like a knife, and asked Darrow.
"Forget it, I bet they won't be able to cause any trouble!" Darrow didn't pay attention. Now with his strength, he was confident of crushing any tricks played behind the scenes.
The only ones who can pose a threat to him now, except for a few admirals and the captains of Rocks, are free of charge. This is Darrow's self-confidence after awakening from the fruit.
After discovering that they were being watched, the girls lost interest in shopping and were planning to go back to Tom's studio to see how fast the new ship was being built. At this time, the phone bug on Sophia's waist suddenly rang.
As if thinking of something, Sofia became visibly happy and hurriedly answered the phone. On the other end of the phone was Sora, who was about to arrive in the Capital of Seven Waters.
"Tomorrow morning!" Darrow captured the key information from the conversation between the two. He smiled and touched his chin and said to everyone:
"Then, please join me tomorrow morning to welcome our scientists!"
