Chapter 338: Chapter 322: You’re the New Boss

Wolz hadn’t expected the man to be so bold, but that was for the best. It would save him some trouble.

As he led Fang Chenyi out of the casino, David Rogers’s voice crackled in his earpiece, ordering him to bring the man to the captain’s office.

People always said Huaxia People were timid and afraid of trouble. He wanted to talk to this man from Huaxia first, threaten him a little, and see if he could get him to voluntarily give up the money. While taking two lives was nothing to him, too many people had seen them leave. If they didn’t return, the other tourists would become suspicious, and all his efforts on this trip would be for naught.

KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK.

The group stopped before a door marked "Captain’s Office." Wolz knocked carefully on the door, and a rather grim male voice answered from within. "Come in."

CREAK. As the door swung open, Fang Chenyi frowned. The reason was simple: as the door opened, a familiar, rhythmic slapping sound, accompanied by a sharp gasp, reached everyone’s ears.

Wolz, however, seemed quite used to it. Not only that, but a flicker of greed and envy even crossed his face.

Seeing Fang Chenyi and his companions standing frozen in the doorway, Wolz frowned. "Go on in. Our captain is waiting for you."

Frowning, Fang Chenyi considered for a moment before stepping inside.

Sure enough, upon entering, he was met with a disgusting scene. A large, heavily bearded man was standing before the desk, hips thrusting relentlessly. The blonde woman draped over the desk in front of him noticed the newcomers and, while still moving in time with David, provocatively licked her lips at Fang Chenyi.

At this, Fang Chenyi let out a cold, emotionless snort. "Hmph. David, you’re certainly living the high life."

The moment he spoke, David Rogers, who was in mid-thrust, jolted violently. He immediately shoved the woman away, grabbed a nearby towel to wrap around his waist, and spoke with surprise.

"Oh? You know my name? That’s not right... your voice sounds familiar. Have we met before?"

David Rogers had been putting on that display for Fang Chenyi and his men on purpose. The goal was to give these Huaxia People the impression that he wasn’t a good man, making it easier to threaten them.

He just hadn’t expected the young Huaxia man’s voice to be so familiar. The question had barely left his lips when something clicked in David Rogers’s mind. He pointed a trembling, disbelieving finger at Fang Chenyi and stammered...

"You! You! You’re the owner from Huaxia?!"

Seeing that he had finally been recognized, Fang Chenyi snorted. He ignored David, casually walked over to a nearby sofa, and sat down. Only then did he cross his legs, lift his gaze, and fix David Rogers with a cold stare.

"I believe you owe me an explanation, don’t you?"

Fang Chenyi’s confident actions confirmed David Rogers’s suspicion. His mind went blank. ’Isn’t the new boss in Huaxia? How did he suddenly show up on my ship? And the guy who won sixty million... that’s the new boss? And that bastard Wolz wanted to throw the new boss into the sea to feed the sharks?’

"Oh, no, Boss, no! It’s not what you think, Boss! I didn’t know it was you! Oh my god, can someone please tell me what is happening? Boss, I was wrong! I was just trying to earn a little extra money for you. Truly! I just wanted to make some money... for you!"

Wolz and the other men were scared stiff. ’What?! This young guy from Huaxia is our new boss?! My god, can somebody please tell me what is going on!’

Fang Chenyi, of course, didn’t believe a word David Rogers said. ’Bullshit about making money for me,’ he thought. ’It was obviously for his own personal gain.’

After glancing at David, a kindly smile suddenly spread across Fang Chenyi’s face.

Seeing this smile, David Rogers let out a long sigh of relief and quickly plastered on a matching grin. ’So this Huaxia boss is this easy to fool,’ he thought. ’What an idiot.’

But after a moment, Fang Chenyi’s smile grew even brighter as he spoke.

"Heh, so that’s how it is. It seems I’ve wronged you. Well, as the new boss, I can’t just do nothing. How about this: you can have all the profits from this voyage as a reward."

Hearing this, David Rogers’s eyes lit up. ’Fucking idiot,’ he cursed inwardly. ’Looks like this Huaxia boss is a real pushover. This means I’ll have plenty of opportunities in the future.’

However, before he could finish his daydreaming, Fang Chenyi’s next words were like a bucket of cold water thrown in his face.

"Alright, now that the misunderstanding is cleared up, you can go ahead and cash out these chips I won."

COUGH, COUGH, COUGH.

David Rogers, who had been fantasizing about how he would embezzle funds on future voyages, choked on Fang Chenyi’s words and started coughing violently. He looked up at Fang Chenyi’s smiling face and immediately retracted his earlier assessment. ’Pushover my ass! This motherfucker has no intention of letting me off the hook!’

’This voyage is only two days long. Even if we calculate the total profits, we’d be lucky to make one or two million US Dollars. Compared to his sixty million, that’s not even pocket change!’

"Oh, Boss, this is your own casino! You won your own money; isn’t that just like moving it from your left hand to your right? Heh heh, this voyage’s revenue was already yours, Boss, we couldn’t possibly take it. In fact, please consider the fuel and other expenses for this trip our gift to you!"

The smile vanished from Fang Chenyi’s face. He stood up, shot David Rogers a disdainful look, and coldly tossed out a final remark.

"Remember, this is the first and only time. As for the fifty million from the second round, we’ll let it slide. But this case of chips is already out, so just cash it out for me."

After saying his piece, Fang Chenyi turned and led the way to the door. Qi Xiaotian and his companion followed with calm expressions, but their posture revealed that every muscle in their bodies was tensed, ready to explode with full force at a moment’s notice.

’Even though Fang Chenyi has revealed he’s the owner of this cruise ship and they’ve acknowledged it, there are still only three of us here,’ they thought. ’Who knows what kind of ideas these people might get?’

Watching the three men leave, David Rogers finally collapsed onto his desk. His face was a mask of dejection, and he muttered curses under his breath.

"Fuck! Dammit! What am I going to do? Nine million US Dollars, that’s my entire net worth! Dammit, what possessed me to bring the cruise ship out in the first place? They all say Huaxia People are cunning, and it’s true!"

"B-Boss... that man, is he really our new boss?"

David Rogers was already fuming, and hearing Wolz rub salt in the wound was the last straw. He immediately lashed out with a kick.

"You bastard! Why didn’t you tell me the new boss was here sooner? What do we do now?! Nine million US Dollars! That’s nine million US Dollars! Who told you to give him that many chips?! If you hadn’t, maybe he wouldn’t have asked for the money. No, not maybe, he *definitely* wouldn’t have! I’ll fucking kill you, you son of a bitch!"

Immediately, the sounds of agonized cries and desperate howling filled the captain’s office.

After some time, a panting David Rogers stopped. A cold, murderous glint flashed in his eyes. Subconsciously, his hand drifted to the small of his back as he muttered under his breath...

"Hmph. Since you’re forcing my hand, don’t blame me for being ruthless. If anyone’s to blame, it’s you for being so stupid!"
