822: Chapter 822: The Pitiable Ones Must Have Detestable Aspects!

The night was vast and dark.

The Super Cruise Ship Brune moved like a floating city on the sea, cutting through the waves as it sailed on international waters.

Due to the flight bans from various countries, any unauthorized aircraft risked being shot down.

Thus, the wealthy members couldn’t make it for fun.

Moreover, before the emergence of the Detox Pill, the Sakuragi Hana virus was incredibly vicious; infection was certain death.

Who would dare to come?

For such reasons, business for the super cruise ship naturally turned tragic.

Gone were the days when numerous tycoons spent lavishly in a haze of money.

Now, not only was no profit made, but they even had to cover the crew’s wages and accommodation expenses.

Of course.

The worst off, like Xie Wanjun, weren’t here for a luxury cruise vacation; they were here to make money.

But what was the outcome?

Not only was there no money to be made, but without wages, she even had to pay out of pocket daily for food and lodging.

Seeing that the countries still had air travel restrictions and couldn’t leave the cruise, the money earned was spent, and savings were almost running out.

Life was indeed unbearable.

In an effort to reduce expenses and perhaps make some money,

Xie Wanjun encouraged her sisters to do more business with the crew, and as other women lowered their prices, they went even lower.

From the past three hundred Gold Coins, one hundred Gold Coins, to now just ensuring a full meal.

It was indeed bitter for these beautiful women, forced to compromise for survival.

Today was an exceptionally special day.

The whole world knew that the investigative team’s results regarding Wu Jie and Tianyuan Tang’s Pharmaceuticals were to be announced.

Before this, due to the cease of production and sales, the price of Detox Pills had soared.

Xie Wanjun knew that Captain Hittory, well-connected and with a strong background, speculated on Detox Pills and made a fortune for the Rosdelle Auxiliary Business Association.

Rarely happy, Hittory offered everyone on the cruise a free seafood feast.

Of course.

At that feast, Xie Wanjun and many sisters were specially taken care of by numerous crew members and almost died.

The reason?

Because they were compatriots of Wu Jie and were Glassy Continent’s people.

From then on, Xie Wanjun and her eight sisters became extraordinary in status.

Tonight, in the VIP entertainment hall, Hittory and his people watched the news conference live while abusing Xie Wanjun and others.

Unfortunately…

Not only did the Detox Pills not cease production and sales anymore, but the bidding scope was also expanded, and the starting price was reduced…

Even Tang Xiao made a shocking statement that awakened many national citizens, causing the already dissatisfied populace to get agitated and forced many countries to take tough actions to severely rectify the chaotic situation.

Infuriated, Hittory picked up his belt and lashed at Xie Wanjun and others mercilessly.

As he whipped them furiously, he cursed Tang Xiao and Wu Jie.

The belt strikes left bloody marks on their bodies, each hit burning with excruciating pain.

The pain was immense!

Wails of agony!

Xie Wanjun and the others deeply regretted coming to the cruise to earn money; now trapped and unable to escape.

Escape?

Where could they escape to?

The cruise was sailing on international waters.

Could they turn into mermaids and swim back to their homeland?

Fighting back?

Even less likely.

The cruise’s security personnel were armed with all kinds of light and heavy weapons; to kill a few women was far too easy.

So…

Howls!

Struggles!

Cries!

Xie Wanjun and the others were tortured beyond recognition.

Just when they thought they might be beaten to death, an unexpected event occurred.

Hittory was extremely furious!

He thought that the price of the Detox Pills would plummet, having stockpiled a huge amount only to face heavy losses.

In his fury, he simply took one!

Shortly after, Hittory appeared as if he had taken drugs, immensely excited.

It was as if a saint had inspired him; he suddenly became exceptionally joyful and happy.

Helping Xie Wanjun and the others up, he comforted them, offered money, and even sent for medicine and clothes.

Not only that.

Hittory jumped on the table, recited poems, and danced gracefully.

Such inexplicable excitement didn’t seem at all like drug-induced euphoria.

After all, drug-induced states weren’t this ‘saint mode’; they generally caused excitement and agitation.

But Hittory wasn’t agitated; he just felt extremely relaxed and very joyful.

His mood was like winter, turning into spring, hot days becoming cool…

As if returning to a carefree childhood, free and incredibly happy.

Even…

Publicly having diarrhea was so relaxed and natural, completely ignoring everyone’s surprised gazes.

Hittory reveled, pleased, and joyfully excited; like a child, he was cheerful for nearly two hours before finally settling down.

And as the joy faded, his mood suddenly felt empty.

As if something beloved had suddenly been lost.

The cruise’s doctor, thinking Hittory had taken drugs, hurriedly conducted various examinations.

The result was surprising!

There were no toxic substances in his body; in fact, his body was healthier than before!

His skin glowed and looked finer, and his spirits seemed better.

The Detox Pill, after all, was a miraculous medicine, not famous for nothing!

Hearing what the doctor said, everyone was stunned.

Hittory himself also said he felt no discomfort, just purely wanted to find that happiness again.

The Detox Pill…

Did it really have an effect that brought happiness?

This batch of kidnapped hostages fetched Detox Pills that seem different from those acquired in artifact exchanges and competitive bidding auctions in the past!

The press conference’s announcement was genuinely accurate.

The Detox Pills are still in the research and development stage and have not passed clinical trials.

Their efficacy and contraindications are unclear…

The recently released Detox Pills are noticeably better than before because not only is their effectiveness still miraculous, but they also have added a pleasurable function.

This amazing discovery immediately became a treasure trove for Hittory.

He immediately communicated this discovery.

Although the previous plan to use “moral kidnapping and public opinion pressure” failed miserably and even led to his brother Perrio resigning in disgrace, Rosdelle’s Auxiliary Business Association, being deeply rooted and powerful, quickly came up with the “hostage-taking” scheme and achieved great success.

They managed to secure hundreds of thousands of Detox Pills not only for the Association but also for pharmaceutical companies in over a dozen countries.

Since everyone is in the same boat, it was natural to share this new discovery quickly.

Other associates were quickly informed of this good news and some even tried it personally.

Indeed, just popping one pill and getting diarrhea led to incomparable happiness.

Previously, drug consumption caused severe harm to the body, while this batch of Detox Pills turned out to be beneficial instead.

Amazing!

Such Detox Pills are not just miraculous medicine anymore!

They are truly a source of joy, a wonderful remedy that could drive countless addicts mad with desperation.

Buy!

Must buy!

The midnight auction at Tianyuan local time had to be fiercely contested.

…

After making numerous satellite phone calls, Hittory still couldn’t resist.

In front of Xie Wan Jun and others, he took another Detox Pill.

Now knowing the process, he went to the bathroom to relieve himself, came back, and started singing and dancing.

Those unaware would think he had become intellectually disabled, continuously laughing foolishly.

With pleasure and excitement, Hittory, holding the satellite phone, took Xie Wan Jun to a private room.

After Hittory fell asleep, Xie Wan Jun finally saw her chance.

The former corporate executive secretary, a high-class urban beauty.

Now…

Whipped until her body was covered in blood and bruises…

Hair disheveled, face bruised blue and purple, lips swollen.

With trembling hands, she picked up the satellite phone, terrified to death but driven by a strong desire to survive.

Staying on the cruise would not let her live for many days.

She had seen the news on TV tonight.

Dialing the number, Xie Wan Jun barely held back tears, sobbing.

Of course.

Being very clever, Xie Wan Jun knew to make her situation sound as severe as possible.

She did not dare mention that a group of people came to the cruise to make money, instead, she said she had been the Chief Secretary of Tang Xiao, the president of Tanglong Industrial Group from Liuli Continent, traveling abroad with friends when they were kidnapped onto the cruise.

She discovered many female compatriots living worse than death daily and hoped her country could rescue them from this bitter life and escape to safety.

Her words, of course, quickly drew high attention from the authorities.

The authorities mobilized electronic surveillance satellites to track and locate the satellite signals of the call.

Using maritime satellites for precise searching.

Given Xie Wan Jun’s description of the massive size and displacement of the super cruise, with characteristics like optical signals and infrared radiation being quite evident.

They could locate aircraft carrier groups, so finding such a large cruise ship was certainly not difficult.

After receiving the orders, a missile destroyer nearby the Super Cruise Ship Brune quickly set off to help.

And not long after that, Wu Jie received an update from the External Affairs Bureau.

Upon hearing about it, Wu Jie couldn’t help but scoff.

That’s ridiculous!

Xie Wan Jun bringing a group of internet-famous faces to make money on the cruise and ended up being abused, now actually seeking help to return home.

To draw attention from the relevant authorities, she even dared to claim she was Tang Xiao’s female secretary.

There’s a reason to pity the hateful.

Wu Jie had been to the Brune Cruise before; among those young and beautiful women actively making money, who was being forced?

If not for the virus outbreak causing countries to halt flights and wealthy individuals afraid to indulge in extravagant cruise activities, Xie Wan Jun and others would probably be still accompanying them, making crazy money in their drunken haze, right?

But times have changed, with no business to do, life on the cruise was definitely not smooth.

Moreover, Wu Jie had long suspected that many recent incidents were orchestrated by Rosdelle’s Auxiliary Business Association.

Now that the missile destroyer was headed there, it was time to teach a lesson to these profit-driven scoundrels.

Since this cruise operated under unclear nationality and identity, often appearing and disappearing on international waters.

Even if it were sunk, it could be declared a pirate ship.

Therefore, Wu Jie did not oppose the hostage rescue operation, but he informed the External Affairs Bureau as a friendly note that the cruise harbored many armed personnel with a variety of lethal weapons.

If they planned to attack forcefully, they had to be extremely careful.

Otherwise, failing to rescue the hostages yet getting severely damaged by anti-ship and anti-air missiles would be a regrettable loss.

Then, Wu Jie continued monitoring the investigation case.

It had barely been a day since the hostage situation ended, and the Xu Family in Liuli City already had Detox Pills.

How did they get them?

Based on timing, it was most likely obtained from Watanabe Taizo.

The Detox Pills sent to exchange for hostages had vanished along with the kidnappers.

And within just a few hours, the Xu Family in Liuli City began secretly selling Detox Pills.

With international flights still banned, there were no commercial flights.

And using a cargo ship to cross the ocean was even more unlikely, with the journey taking several days at the slow pace of ships!

The only reasonable explanation was Watanabe Taizo’s private jet.

The ban was on civilian international flights, not restricting official visits.

Tsk tsk!

Truly worthy of being the most domineering family in Liuli City, to collude with Watanabe Taizo was indeed impressive!

However…

Heaven’s net is vast and misses nothing.

The midnight auction in the early hours would be the signal to close the net…
