Chapter 537: Chapter 525 Abhorrence

"You all clearly saw how damn expensive that so-called Hanwoo beef was, so why didn’t you warn me? You did it on purpose, two thousand eight hundred twenty-six US dollars, just for a meal that was extremely hard to swallow, my God, what the hell kind of place is this, what kind of cursed country is this!"

Chris’s first meal in Seoul left him super dissatisfied, really super dissatisfied, which is why he kept complaining even after he left the restaurant.

Yang Yi helplessly said, "Enough already, you’ve been complaining the whole way."

Chris pointed at his nose and said, "Do I look like a fool to you? Such unpalatable food costing nearly three thousand US dollars, is it that easy to earn money? Do I make money easily?"

Kate laughed lightly and said, "But you started off by saying it was delicious."

Chris fumed, "That depends on the price. A three thousand dollar barbecue can never be considered delicious, with that kind of money I could have a meal at a Michelin-starred restaurant."

Anton smiled and said, "Actually, I think it tasted pretty good, especially after knowing the price, it felt even better."

Chris took a deep breath then burst out again, "Fuck!"

Yang Yi glanced at his watch and said, "Okay, now let’s split up and head back to the hotel. You guys book your own rooms, but study hard tonight because, if possible, I hope to start making contact with Andre Company tomorrow."

Chris stormed off with Anton, and after they left, Yang Yi and the other two couldn’t help but let out snickers.

Xiao Ran pushed Yang Yi and laughed, "You’re so bad."

Yang Yi shrugged and said with a smile, "I just didn’t expect Chris would mind the three thousand dollars so much."

"Come on, Americans are actually quite stingy."

Kate nodded repeatedly, "I agree."

Xiao Ran pouted and asked, "What do we do? Go straight back?"

Yang Yi looked around and said, "Taking a walk wouldn’t be bad, I smell the scent of spring."

Xiao Ran also looked around and said, "I’ve seen a few Korean dramas, but this place doesn’t seem quite the same as it is in the dramas, not as idyllic."

"You watch Korean dramas?"

"I have to keep up with the trend."

"Since when did watching Korean dramas become a global trend?"

"You know I was supposed to be sent to Huaxia, so of course, I have to keep up with the trends there. But after the plan was scrapped, I stopped watching them."

Yang Yi laughed, "Well, that’s one reason."

While having a laugh with Xiao Ran, Yang Yi felt he was neglecting Kate, so he turned to her and asked, "Have you ever watched Korean dramas?"

Kate looked disdainful and then glanced around, "Not for me."

Xiao Ran suddenly furrowed her brow, although she quickly diverted her gaze.

Yang Yi felt emotionally drained.

"Uh, I need to buy a knife."

"Let’s go, where to buy one?"

"I don’t know where they’re sold, I think it’s unlikely there’s a weapon store around here, so I’ve got to check a convenience store."

Kate couldn’t help saying, "As a knife expert, are you planning to buy a fruit knife from a convenience store to use?"

Yang Yi spread his hands, "What else can I do? Anyway, let’s get a knife first. I don’t feel safe even sleeping without a knife on me."

The three chatted idly, but they could only chat about some unimportant and boring topics. Yang Yi really wanted to delve into a deep conversation with one of the women, like about views on love, but unfortunately, it really wasn’t a good topic to bring up with three people together.

Actually being a carefree person seemed quite blissful, Yang Yi suddenly felt envious of Anton.

The drink does not intoxicate, it’s the person who intoxicates themselves. The scenery wasn’t enchanting, but having a beautiful woman that you fancy by your side could make even the poorest view seem charming. However, if the beautiful woman became two, then even the most beautiful scenery would start to feel dull.

Yang Yi saw a chain convenience store, so he went in and looked around, but they didn’t have what he needed. Although there were knives, they were just the simplest fruit knives, just a piece of metal, totally unusable.

A disappointed Yang Yi could only continue to stroll along the river with the two beauties. Buying a knife was quite important for him, so he decided to hail a taxi and drive around Seoul.

But just as Yang Yi was about to reluctantly call for a cab, Xiao Ran suddenly said, "Look there, an outdoor equipment store. In my experience, they definitely sell knives."

Yang Yi smiled, "Let’s take a look."

The three walked leisurely into the outdoor equipment store, and sure enough, they did sell knives, both straight and folding. But after Yang Yi looked around, he didn’t find any knife he particularly liked, until he saw a row of small knives that looked like fruit knives.

"This is not bad."

Yang Yi pointed at the showcase and said to the clerk, "Please get me a knife, this one."

Kate looked on and asked in surprise, "There are so many choices here, why do you really want to pick a fruit knife?"

Yang Yi took the knife the clerk handed over, smiling, "This is a Morakniv, a brand from Sweden, very sharp, very useful. It looks like a fruit knife, but actually, this type of knife is very suitable for carving wood, and of course, for... um, it’s not bad."

The unspoken use Yang Yi referred to was that besides peeling fruit and cutting wood, this knife was also very suitable for slitting throats because it was a purely utilitarian knife, really sharp and also very sturdy.

After giving a brief explanation to Kate, Yang Yi pointed to a Spider Folding Knife, "And this folding knife, thank you."

The price of a Spider Folding Knife could buy seven of the Morakniv straight knives, but for Yang Yi, if it really came to use, he would probably still choose the Morakniv.

After pocketing both knives, Yang Yi felt much more confident.

Once the three walked out of the outdoor equipment store, Xiao Ran couldn’t help but sigh softly, "I’m satisfied with a knife, but without a gun, I don’t feel safe, and it’s a really annoying feeling. If only the janitor could send us our guns as well."

Yang Yi shook his head, "The janitors don’t have much influence here, if we fire a gun, the situation would become difficult to resolve, so using a gun means failure. We better be careful, as long as we’re not exposed, the guns would naturally be of no use."

This is Seoul, with no backup, no allies, and not even the most basic weapons. If discovered by the Grey-cloaked People, it would be extremely difficult to escape. The seemingly calm Seoul was fraught with peril, and thinking of this made Yang Yi feel restless and upset.

Thinking about work, especially work full of danger, Yang Yi suddenly felt that his stroll had lost all its charm. He never really liked this city, and now he found it even more detestable, so he sighed lightly and said, "Let’s head back. Chris and the others should have prepared the room by now. The sooner we finish our business, the sooner we can leave this place."
