Leveling Up With My Pet

93 What the F**k? , 200 million USD?

After several seconds of delay, Qiu Yang finally reacted and said,

"Boss, the Tanaka consortium is offering a reward of 80 million US dollars for hunting and killing, but we are offering 200 million US dollars. Do you think they will agree?"

Liu Yong responded confidently,

"If you don't give it a try, how do you know they will disagree?"

Although Qiu Yang didn't understand why Liu Yong was so optimistic, he obeyed his Boss's order and nodded,

"Okay, I'll follow your lead."

Liu Yong then decided, "Chen Hu and I will board the boat and go together."

Qiu Yang expressed his concern,

"Boss, it's too dangerous. You should stay at home. I'm worried about your safety."

Liu Yong reassured him,

"Our salvage ship is several thousand tons in displacement, while the giant shark is only about a hundred tons at most. I'll be perfectly safe staying on the ship. Don't worry."

Once everything was set up, Liu Yong took the initiative to contact Bawang. The company's salvage ship was only a facade; the real star of the operation was Bawang, a nearly 50-ton behemoth.

"Overlord, you'll have work to do in three to five days," Liu Yong informed Bawang.

Bawang became visibly excited at the prospect of taking on the giant shark.

"Master, do you want me to fight that giant shark?" he asked eagerly.

"Yes, let's settle the score and take it down," Liu Yong replied.

Overlord was confident in his ability to beat the giant shark and expressed his desire to start immediately.

Initially weighing over 30 tons, Bawang had grown significantly in size and strength, making him a formidable opponent.

However, Liu Yong advised, "Don't rush into things. Take a few days to rest and wait for my signal."

There was no need to rush, and waiting for a response from the Tanaka consortium was essential.

Liu Yong wanted to sign a contract with them before allowing Bawang to take action.

Liu Yong's instructions were carefully followed as the salvage ship made all the necessary preparations before setting sail.

The crew was in place, supplies were stocked, and the giant fishhooks, weighing dozens of kilograms each, were prepared for use against the massive shark.

Meanwhile, at the Tanaka Foundation, a senior executive read an email from Global Ocean Services with several middle-level personnel standing beside him.

After carefully examining the email, the executive asked for their opinions.

One person immediately said, "The asking price of 200 million US dollars is too high!"

Another chimed in, "Yes, this is like stealing money!"

A third person doubts Global Ocean Services, saying,

"I've never heard of this company. I doubt they have the necessary strength."

Despite the skepticism of the Tanaka Foundation's employees, Liu Yong remained confident in his plan and his team's abilities. Only time would tell if his gamble would pay off.

The Tanaka Foundation's subordinates continued to speak over each other, making quite a bit of noise as they expressed their concerns about the high asking price of 200 million US dollars.

The figure had caught their attention and stimulated a reaction.

Despite the commotion, the senior executive allowed them to chatter and waited patiently for a few minutes.

He then raised his hand and gestured for silence, which was instantly obeyed, and the entire office fell quiet.

The executive spoke slowly, "Upon receiving this email, I ordered an investigation into Global Ocean Services. A month ago, Prince A visited Huahai City and lost a necklace that fell into the sea. This same company was responsible for salvaging it."

With that information delivered, the executive became meditative, tapping his right hand lightly on the desk.

Those who knew him well understood that this was a sign of serious thinking.

After a few minutes of contemplation, the executive finally spoke up, addressing Mr. Kimura,

"I suggest you immediately reach out to Universal and have a meaningful discussion with them. If they can truly capture that colossal shark, the consortium is willing to pay them $200 million."

Without hesitation, a middle-aged man in the room promptly bowed his head and replied,

"Certainly, I will make contact with them right away."

Meanwhile, at the harbor, Universal's mammoth fishing vessel had already set sail and left the pier.

Liu Yong and Chen Hu were both on board. Despite the lack of response from the Tanaka Consortium, Liu Yong was confident that they would eventually agree.

The longer the delay, the worse it would be for their prospects.

However, hunting the giant shark took a lot of work, with numerous failed attempts and casualties.

Even though the promise of a payout of $50 million or even $80 million seemed enticing, the task was anything but simple.

The elusive shark was challenging to locate, and even if they were to find it, the chances of capturing it successfully were slim.

As Liu Yong gazed out at the distant coastline from the pier, he couldn't help but consider the potential of a $200 million payout.

With such an enormous sum, the company could purchase additional large ships and expand its operations.

The following day, the salvage ship had been sailing for over ten hours, and it had left Huahai City, making its way toward RB.

If all went according to plan, it would arrive at the sea area where the giant sharks were known to roam in approximately two days.

As Liu Yong thought about the vessel's speed, he couldn't help but marvel at its capabilities.

"Bawang is still a force to be reckoned with. It can cover a distance of seven or eight hundred nautical miles in just a few hours, while ordinary ships would take several days," he mused.

Just then, his phone rang, and Liu Yong saw it was another call from Qiu Yang.

He answered the call, and Qiu Yang had good news to share.

"Boss, I have some great news for you. The Tanaka Foundation has contacted us and wants to discuss this matter in detail."

Upon hearing this, Liu Yong felt a sense of relief.

Even though the price was $200 million, the Tanaka Foundation was still willing to engage in a face-to-face discussion.

This was a clear indication of the mounting pressure that the RB company was facing.

It had been a few days since the giant sharks had appeared, resulting in the deaths of 20 to 30 individuals.

Additionally, the international community had begun to condemn the release of radiation into seawater.

Liu Yong had offered a whopping $200 million for the capture of the giant shark, and despite the high price, they were willing to pay it to resolve the issue.

Another two days passed, and Liu Yong arrived at the sea area where the giant sharks had been sighted.

He called out to Bawang, asking for its whereabouts.

The massive vessel was moving swiftly in the sea, weighing more than 50 tons and capable of maintaining a speed of over 150 knots for several hours.

"Master, I can reach you within two hours at most," Bawang replied, showcasing its impressive speed.

Liu Yong watched as Bawang held the giant spear in its front paws, eager to fight the enormous shark.

After exchanging words with Bawang, he noticed a fleet of helicopters flying toward the salvage ship in the distance.
