“How can he just stand by and watch you suffer? How can he just let his relative provoke us? I think he has already planned this. I’m afraid he’s dissatisfied with the Guo family. If not for his reputation and power, he might even take action personally! To deal with disobedient dogs, you either beat them up or… make him disappear completely.”

Zhang Er slowly spat out these words with a sinister expression. Who knew that in the next second, the stage would be destroyed by Guo Jiangjia! He rolled his eyes and said, “Come on, those who don’t know better will think that we’re very familiar with this! Why are you pretending in front of me?”

“Young Master Guo, I’m not as good as you at this. You’re a really cool guy. I can’t compare myself to you at all. I’ve only learned a little from you.”

Zhang Er immediately looked crestfallen. Although the Guo family was the local tyrant on Justice Island, if the two of them were really as powerful as they said, whoever they wanted to disappear would have to disappear. Wouldn’t the people on the island be wiped out sooner or later? At that time, who would dare to stay here? The worst they could do was kick people into the water and then fish them back.

In addition, these people were not fools. Basically, they would not offend the Guo family. This led to Guo Jiangjia acting high and mighty. When he encountered a person who did not give him face, he was naturally furious! He felt that if he did not take revenge, he would be too ashamed to live!

“Hmph, at least you know your place!”

He shook his legs proudly and said, “The person I told you to keep an eye on hasn’t run away, right?”

“No. He’s in the Emya Jade Store now.”

After the farce ended, Lu Ming followed Yu Yan all the way to the presidential palace. He looked at the bustling crowd and thought to himself,?There are quite a number of Chinese here. I reckon their numbers are split half and half with the foreigners. Among them, mixed-race people also make up a considerable proportion. This is good. Perhaps it will be much easier to communicate when the time comes.

Yu Yan had probably informed them in advance, so when the soldiers in charge of protecting the presidential palace saw Lu Ming, they said, “Hello, President. Welcome, new president.”

This made Lu Ming feel like he had arrived at a high-class hotel. He tried his best to shake off this feeling of discomfort and nodded slightly in response to these people’s enthusiasm. He was flanked on the left and right by them as they walked to the office. It was obviously decorated in an American style. In the middle, there was a heavy table made of peach blossom wood and a wooden chair with gold borders.

Right beside it was a white and blue flag, and in the upper left corner was a golden pigeon. Looking at it as a whole, Lu Ming thought it looked grand. Every detail signaled money. He did not like this style, nor did he hate it, but he had to change it.

Yu Yan’s words pulled him back to reality. “You can sign here.”

“There are 100,000 dollars in each of the four boxes. In addition, there’s also the 10 billion yuan that I asked someone to transfer to the bank account. You can settle the accounts. I’ve specially organized them to facilitate your operation. Mr. Yu, you should have found some people, right? If it’s not enough, you can use my staff.”

As soon as Lu Ming finished speaking, the four bodyguards opened the clasps, revealing the cash stuffed inside. Yu Yan’s eyes widened! He couldn’t be blamed for being greedy. This was the first time he had seen so much money. Immediately after, he felt a mountain of pressure. He didn’t expect Lu Ming to bring so much cash over. With the few people he brought, they wouldn’t finish counting by tomorrow.

“Then lend me your men. I’ll find a few more.”

When he opened the door, a grand crowd was the first thing he saw. He did not know when they had started standing here. After receiving the instructions from the Grand Secretary, they started counting the money. For a moment, there was only the sound of their fingers rubbing against the banknotes in the room. Lu Ming watched quietly at the side. When Yu Yan returned, there were a few people behind him.

“This process is a little boring. Why don’t I get someone to take you around the island?”

“Okay.”

Just like that, Lu Ming successfully went sight-seeing. He looked at the bustling street and the enthusiastic vendors who took the initiative to promote their goods from time to time. He couldn’t help but sigh. Overall, it was not bad. Just as he was thinking this, the tour guide sent by Yu Yan said as he walked, “This is Southwest Street. It’s also called Jade Paradise.

“The quality here can be considered top-notch in the entire continent. Many tourists specially come here to buy things. If you like, I can take you to the best shop to take a look. How about that? Don’t worry, these goods were carefully selected by those experts. Every time they buy good goods, many people choose to reserve them in advance.”

Top-notch?

This piqued Lu Ming’s interest. He rubbed his chin and said, “That’s good. It saves me the effort of looking everywhere.”

Hence, the two of them took their time to arrive at the storefront. Just the decor alone made Lu Ming feel a little awkward. Could such a strange style be opened by mixed-race or Chinese-Western cooperation? In fact, it was indeed so. After seeing them, the boss said, “Are you a guest from China?”

Although he still had an accent, it was very smooth compared to the others. Lu Ming asked curiously, “Didn’t the boss grow up in the country?”

The boss looked nostalgic when he heard this and said, “Well, I stayed in China until I graduated from primary school. After that, my parents wanted to come here to start a business, but they were worried about me, so they brought me along. Those are distant memories to me.”

He chuckled and said, “However, fortunately, there are many mixed-race and Chinese on this island, so I don’t miss my hometown so much. At first, I wanted to go back. After I grew up and married a wife and had children, coupled with opening a shop with my American friends, it wasn’t convenient for me to go back.”

Perhaps it was because he had not seen his fellow countrymen in China for a long time, or perhaps it was because he saw himself in Lu Ming, but the boss spoke non-stop, his eyes filled with nostalgia and emotion.

Lu Ming nodded and said, “After all, these ties are not so easy to get rid of. I’m here to buy a bracelet for my wife. If you have any recommendations, feel free to recommend it to me. The price is not a problem.”

The shop owner couldn’t help but take a few more glances at him. It wasn’t that he hadn’t met such a generous person before, but they were basically all middle-aged or older. Some of them were even older than his father.?Could he be a rich second-generation heir from a super family?

He didn’t think too much about it and immediately took out the new goods. He placed three bracelets of different colors in front of Lu Ming.
