1063: Chapter 1019: Empty-handed Wolf?

A Nest of Snakes and Rats!

“Five hundred million?

Is that just the security deposit?”

Wu Jie couldn’t help but laugh when he heard Xu Kuishan say this.

“Indeed, nuclear warheads are valuable assets!”

“That the deposit required just to participate in the auction is a whopping five hundred million!”

“Do they want cash or bank transfer for the payment?”

Wu Jie’s playful smile caused Xu Kuishan to answer seriously,

“Bank transfers can be easily tracked and frozen by international authorities, so it has to be in cash!”

“Multiple nations have just emerged from turmoil, their currency’s buying power isn’t as strong as Liuli Continent, which is known as the world factory!”

“A representative cleared for the auction will receive an email detailing where the fees can be paid!”

…

The more Wu Jie listened, the more puzzled he became.

What does this mean?

It’s like borrowing a feather to fly without putting any effort – frankly, they haven’t even shown us the nuclear warhead yet we’re paying a huge deposit first.

A guarantee for what?

Are they worried participants will cause trouble?

Moreover, crucially…

The deposit isn’t even paid at the auction venue but possibly designated to many locations, handing over tons of cash to strangers.

Bastards!

So, when they take the money, will they provide a receipt?

If the auction is unsuccessful, it’s doubtful we could even get back such a massive deposit!

What a business this is, truly making money out of thin air!

In any case.

One party collecting five hundred million as a deposit, and dozens of parties mean collecting twenty to thirty billion.

The auction hasn’t even started yet!

What if they take the money and just vanish?

Who would you even complain to?

Is it all just a game of who has the bigger nerve?

Wu Jie, lighting a cigarette, patiently waited for Xu Kuishan to finish rambling.

“…In summary, the process is to submit the documentation for preapproval, pay the deposit after passing, and upon receiving the money, they will provide a pass card.

With this card, board the ship and participate in the auction.

If successful, the final payment will be handled the same way as the deposit!”

Wu Jie raised his eyebrows.

“And then?

What if the auction is unsuccessful, the deposit is just gone?”

Xu Kuishan shook his head, “I don’t know about that; I guess it probably…

won’t be returned!

After all, they’re taking huge risks in obtaining nuclear warheads—it’s not easy.”

Wu Jie chuckled.

“Alright, give me the email address, and once I board the ship, you guys can leave with that two hundred million in cash!”

Xu Kuishan immediately fished out a prepared piece of paper from his pocket.

Wu Jie didn’t even look at it; he pocketed it and walked away.

As Wu Jie walked away, Xu Kuishan smiled with a slight bow, his smile gradually becoming stern after Wu Jie walked far enough.

His eyes narrowed slightly, a smirk forming on his lips.

His gaze turned icy cold, as if looking at a dead man.

And wasn’t Wu Jie doing the same to him?

…

Underground at the security base.

Hu Anbiao, who had worked in the police bureau for many years, had inherited his previous security experience.

Every stationed location must have strict security surveillance measures.

Therefore, a large number of surveillance devices surrounded the security base, with added strengthening in areas susceptible to attacks.

Both visible and hidden guards were arranged, along with random patrols of personnel, and the surveillance center was located underground, next to a fortified safe room.

At dawn, the convoy had arrived at the base, followed by Qian Le from the War Statistics Institute, who took charge of installing and testing the equipment.

Meanwhile, Zhang Ren took care of disguising anti-terrorism special forces nearby to get acquainted with the local environment.

Eggs should not be put in one basket.

It’s also impossible for personnel to station in one place.

Although the security base is constructed of reinforced concrete capable of withstanding various artillery attacks, it can’t withstand heavy-duty missiles.

For safety, we must not be negligent.

Therefore,

For this mission, to prevent certain forces from targeting Wu Jie with aerial strikes,

Zheng made a special request, securing a small passive phased array radar from an air defense unit.

The radar is compact but highly advanced.

Installed above the security base building, it effectively monitored the airspace within two hundred kilometers.

If helicopters or fighter jets attacked, it would provide early warning and track enemy movements.

At this moment,

Inside the surveillance center, the randomly air-dropped equipment had been installed and tested.

Wu Jie located his control console and connected to the internet to check.

The released Su Leige and his assistant were still on the helicopter.

Where the hell were they flying to?

He glanced at the location sent back by the signal on the map.

“Heh, what a huge coincidence!

He’s actually going to Sangkrei Port!”

“Where in the world is such a coincidence?”

As he muttered, Wu Jie took out the note.

He glanced at the email address and immediately got to work.

Soon, he discovered that the backend network server of this email address was actually set up in Sangkrei.

Moreover, the server’s security level wasn’t high, typical hackers could easily breach it; it was clearly a temporary setup meant just for receiving mail, securing against common espionage was sufficient.

Wu Jie browsed through a bit, and up to now, there were already a dozen emails filled with auction participation applications.

He glanced through them; the content was fairly simple, essentially just brief self-introductions.

They included country of origin, affiliation to certain units or organizations, and expected number of people boarding the ship, etc.

Five hundred million in deposit!

Auctioning nuclear warheads!

This is probably the most unique private auction in human history.

Moreover, the organization behind it, the Dark Knight Order, has remained deeply concealed; even now, we have managed to gather very little information about them.

It is likely an old power that has newly formed an organization.

After its establishment, their first order of business was stealing nuclear warheads, which is why their background is so clean and nothing much could be dug up.

It’s like a usually honest person who suddenly commits a violent act against a total stranger in the middle of the night without any reason.

Such spontaneous crime is very hard to solve.

And soon, with the auction about to start, this flawless Dark Knight Order is about to lift its veil of mystery.

However…

The auction hasn’t even started yet, and a five hundred million cash deposit is already required, with no guarantee it will be returned after the auction, making the risk of losing it all too high.

Money is not the problem.

Let’s not talk about five hundred million, even fifty or five hundred billion could be provided.

Isn’t money just paper?

As long as inflation isn’t a concern, billions can be printed as needed.

Of course, if too much currency is printed, it could lead to a situation where a trillion-dollar bill might not even buy a bottle of soda.

Wu Jie didn’t care about the money, but he found the situation exceedingly strange.

After hesitating, he quickly went online and, through a secure satellite data link, consulted with Zheng and Du.

At the same time,

Xu Kuishan strolled around the courtyard but failed to find any security flaws.

How could escaping from this tightly guarded, heavily armed security base be easy?

After pacing, Xu Kuishan was pulled into a corner by his younger brother, Xu Anyong, as soon as he entered the room.

“When exactly can we leave?

Xiaofeng and the others have already arrived!”

Xu Kuishan smirked.

“He said he would let us leave with the money once he goes to the auction!”

“But I’m not a worm in Wu Jie’s stomach; how would I know whether he’ll keep his word?”

Xu Linming, the third brother, whispered,

“Wu Jie is too unpredictable; I’m afraid he might go back on his word and betray us!”

Xu Jiahao, the fourth brother, scoffed.

“Trust?

I guess that word doesn’t even exist in Wu Jie’s dictionary!”

Glancing around, Xu Kuishan said with a forced laugh, “Alright, stop worrying too much.

Get some sleep.

After such a long flight, aren’t you tired?”

With a sigh,

Everyone went back to their respective sleeping mats.

The temperature had already surpassed thirty degrees; it was unbearably hot, making the plain sleeping mats relatively cooler to lie on.

Xu Kuishan lay down, resting his head in his hands, his eyes blankly staring at the ceiling.

Three satellite phones lay beside him, with mobile phones, tablets, and laptops not confiscated.

There were no cameras installed in the room, and they could even go out for a walk whenever they wanted.

Such lax confinement was surprisingly permissive.

Wu Jie did not restrict their communication with the outside world and was not afraid they might orchestrate a rescue operation after familiarizing themselves with the base.

After pondering for a long time, Xu Kuishan picked up a satellite phone and put on a headset before dialing.

The call connected quickly.

“I’ve given him the email address and explained the deposit and auction process, but I suspect he won’t show up personally…”

…

At Sangkrei Port,

A helicopter buzzed as it slowly descended and steadily landed on a super cruise ship.

If Wu Jie arrived at the port, he would recognize this as the Brune Super Cruise Ship that he and Tang Xiao once boarded for leisure.

During the World Cup, boarding this ship had not only allowed him to eliminate the notorious drug lord Kun Qianxi and settle an old score but also to amass a fortune by betting on the games.

However…

This cruise ship had faced issues long ago and stopped making global voyages, serving merely as a paradise for the wealthy.

Though the armed security personnel on board seemed strong and intimidating, they were already corroded by the extravagant lifestyle of the cruise, and could not withstand much, quickly disintegrating.

The incident had done significant damage to the reputation of the Brune Cruise.

Now, what billionaire would dare to come here for fun?

Business was unfeasible, and it wasn’t possible for a super cruise ship like this to just sink into the ocean or be left to decay in some bay.

Following repairs and modifications, the ship had now been renamed ‘Sea Shark’.

The cruise ship had already been docked in the port for several days.

It was not just for resupplying and water, but to quietly wait.

…

After the helicopter stabilized,

Su Leige quickly jumped out of the cabin.

Not far away,

Kaint, almost fifty but still exceptionally young and handsome due to good maintenance, opened his arms.

He was decked in designer brands, giving off the aura of a successful billionaire.

As Su Leige approached, he didn’t embrace Kaint but punched him hard in the chest.

“You damn bastard, who told me that fetching Lin Yuan from the Liuli Continent was foolproof?”

“Not only did I get captured, but I was also humiliated and lost face, having to spend a billion silver coins on ransom just to get free!”

“Wu Jie screwed me over and deserves to die, but you caused me a great deal of trouble; you deserve to die too!”

Kaint exchanged a glance with Hittory, both sharing a smile.

Wearing a grin and putting his arm around Su Leige’s shoulder, he flattered,

“Old pal, we didn’t mean to trick you.

It was a real accident this time; we never expected they could find Lin Yuan!”

“I’ll compensate you for the ransom, and I’ll avenge you; I promise Wu Jie won’t leave Jiazhou alive!”

Su Leige snorted coldly, “What if he doesn’t come to the auction?

Are you going to attack his security base?”

Hittory smirked, “Of course not, we have a more ruthless method of extermination!”

Extermination?

Su Leige immediately understood…
