The traveling frog is living a carefree life in the Marvel universe.

Priyanka was speechless and said:

"Ninety-nine percent of the problems in this world are money problems, and the remaining one percent is simply due to not having enough money. So, many things can be solved with money, so why bother with jargon?"

Bai Ye: "Is just giving money enough?"

“Not really,” Priyanka said. “You should study human nature according to Maslow’s hierarchy of needs. Money probably satisfies a person’s physiological needs, safety needs, and emotional and belonging needs, but it is also necessary to give them a certain degree of respect so that they can satisfy their need for respect. After all, people like them are not really that desperate for money, so giving them some respect is beneficial to both sides.”

"Oh," Bai Ye said, "There's a Jack Ma in China who once said that there are only two main reasons why employees leave: they're not paid enough and they feel wronged. That's roughly the idea."

"almost!"

Priyanka nodded, took a sip of the tea that had been prepared for her, and said:

"but……"

A cold glint flashed in her eyes:

"Give your partners some respect, but don't let them take advantage of you!"

Bai Ye asked in surprise, "What happened?"

“It’s nothing much. We had already agreed on a price before, which is why he pushed for the war to start. Otherwise, these guys are the type who won’t act until they see a clear benefit,” Priyanka said. “But I didn’t expect that he would keep putting off what he promised and then suddenly come to me to raise the price… That makes me very angry.”

"I'm a man of integrity. If we're going to work together to make money, you can ask for an exorbitant price, and we can simply stop cooperating. But you agreed to something, and then suddenly raised the price... Haha, after this is over, I'll send him to meet Jesus!"

Clearly, judging from Priyanka's ruthless demeanor, she was not joking.

Bai Ye also felt sorry for Andres Peterson. Of all people to mess with, he had to mess with this woman. Didn't he know she was a madwoman?

You too, you should have just taken the money and done your job properly, instead of coming here to extort money from people halfway through. It's only because the job still needs you to finish that you're still here, otherwise, you probably wouldn't have survived tonight.

but……

Bai Ye asked doubtfully, "He's a councilor, you can't just kill him like that."

Priyanka said, "It's alright, I have professional people working for me, I guarantee no one will find out. I can't stand continuing to work with someone who has no integrity whatsoever!"

"Professional staff...are they from your household?"

Bai Ye asked.

Just now, when he overheard Priyanka talking to that congressman, he heard it with his own ears: Priyanka does have a family, but because she is a woman, the family business eventually fell into the hands of her younger brother, and she had to be sent out for a marriage alliance.

No wonder Priyanka chose to use her talent when she could have relied on her looks. It's because she comes from a family with a strong academic background and has the ability. She must also be harboring resentment, thinking, "Why should I be considered inferior to my good-for-nothing brother just because I'm a woman?"

Fine, I'll part ways with you all and create my own career. Then we'll see who's better in the end.

“Hmm!” Priyanka nodded and said, “When I left home, I brought some people with me, and over the years I’ve trained some myself, which is barely enough.”

Under Bai Ye's questioning, Priyanka revealed some information: she is Indian, and her father sells laundry detergent in India.

To this day, India's slums remain a source of criticism: piles of garbage, foul odors, and persistently high crime rates.

Therefore, the slums in Mumbai, India's largest city, inevitably become breeding grounds for evil, making it difficult for the light of justice to shine.

Gangs and corrupt police maintain a chaotic order, with gambling, smuggling, human trafficking, gang warfare, and other crimes permeating every aspect of life.

After the fall of Dawood Ibrahim, the previous bigwig in Mumbai, her father gradually rose to power and became one of the most influential figures in the area.

After losing hope of succeeding to the family business, she married Reis, probably half-willingly and half-arranged, and from then on embarked on a smooth road.

Bai Ye suddenly realized.

No wonder Priyanka couldn't inherit the family business; the low status of women in India is probably world-renowned. Why is feminism so prevalent in China? Because Chinese men don't often beat women! Why is feminism virtually nonexistent in India? Because they beat women to death there!

Priyanka simply told Bai Ye about the situation without complaining, downplaying it. It's likely that she wasn't unable to share her feelings with Bai Ye, but rather too lazy to bring up that terrible family again.

Bai Ye understood; after all, everyone has wounds they don't want others to touch.

"So... what kind of business did you discuss with that congressman?"

Bai Ye also changed the subject.

Real estate development.

Priyanka said:

"Don't you think that with the advancement of globalization, social wealth is gradually increasing, and the tourism industry will obviously become more and more prosperous? Just take a sea view property or something, and you can definitely make a fortune. So I have specially formulated a real estate development plan."

“Strictly speaking, I didn’t ask that Congressman Andres Peterson to do anything bad; I just opened some doors for me within his power.”

Priyanka sneered:

"Even in this situation, he still tried to blackmail me? Tell me, how can I not be angry?"

"I'm not getting something for nothing; I'm investing a lot of money and taking on extremely high risks in this real estate development project. This will have a strong boosting effect on the local economy. It's all beneficial and has no drawbacks; it's a win-win cooperation!"

"Of course, of course."

Bai Ye nodded, walked behind Priyanka, massaged her shoulders, and said:

"But don't get angry with this kind of person. It'll only hurt your health, and it's not worth it."

"Ok!"

Priyanka nodded, feeling the warmth of Bai Ye's hand, and asked in surprise:

"You can give massages? Your technique is quite good!"

"Not at all, I just did some research on it in private." Bai Ye chuckled and said, "It was mainly to practice in order to please the elders in my family. How is it? Is my strength just right?"

"good."

Priyanka said:

"If you ever go hungry, open a massage parlor; the business should be pretty good."

"If I had no food to eat, I would come and live off you, not open a massage parlor!"

Bai Ye said.

"Okay, if you ever run out of food, come find me. As long as I have a bite of meat left, I'll definitely share a sip of soup with you."

Priyanka said.

"Oh, can't I eat meat too?"

Bai Ye said disappointedly.

“You wish!” Priyanka said, “I’m the boss, of course I have to be different from your subordinates, otherwise, how can I keep the others in check?”

"I'm not going to steal meat from your plate, I just... want to eat this piece of your tempting flesh."

Bai Ye bit Priyanka's crystal-clear ear from behind and laughed.

Priyanka's body trembled involuntarily.

Bai Ye: "My dear, look, I've been massaging you for so long, don't you have anything to repay me for?"

Priyanka is a shrewd person, how could she not understand Bai Ye's meaning?

So she squatted down in front of Bai Ye, glared at him, and then reached out and unbuckled Bai Ye's belt...

……

Bai Ye walked out of Priyanka's house, feeling the wind in her step, and returned home contentedly.

Successfully raided the enemy base!

When Bai Ye got home, she found that Brian had also returned.

However, Brian seemed to have just returned and was explaining the situation to Aunt May, Parker, and Mia.

Reyes confronted him, demanding that he hand over all the missing laundry detergent, or else Bryce, whom he was holding hostage, and his girlfriend Amanda would be killed and their bodies thrown into the sea to feed the fish.

When Parker saw Bai Ye come in, he gave him a wink.

Bai Ye returned the look with a wink.

Well, Parker clearly misunderstood something. He was probably thanking Bai Ye for his hard work in protecting Brian along the way, and for returning a little late just in order to avoid being discovered by Brian. He had timed it perfectly.

If Parker knew that Bai Ye wasn't there to protect Brian, but instead to steal from the house of the drug lord Brian was meeting, he'd probably want to kill Bai Ye.

"Wait, after listening to all this, I still don't understand. Where did all that laundry detergent come from?"

Mia interrupted.

“If I’m not mistaken, the place where we found the shipwreck today happens to be the same place where Reyes’ plane crashed.” Brian, being an FBI agent, was clear-headed and quickly analyzed the truth of the matter: “No wonder we encountered a lot of patrol boats in that area before; it must be because the coast guard was also searching for that plane.”

Mia: "So, what should we do now? We can't really go and help that drug lord recruit other drug lords, can we?"

She said with a look of disgust:

"Brian, I won't allow you to do that!"

Aunt Mei suggested, "Why don't we call the police?"

“Don’t call the police yet,” Brian said with a headache. “Otherwise, Bryce and Amanda will be dead. With Reyes’s ruthlessness, he would never mind taking two more lives. Besides… I don’t trust the police here. Reyes has built such a big business and become the biggest gang leader in the area. I don’t believe he hasn’t bribed some informants. If we call the police on our own, we might alert him.”

“Then what can we do?” Mia said. “We can’t just rely on the people here to fight a gang head-on, can we? Brian, I don’t want to talk behind people’s backs, but look at the kind of friends you have. You found laundry detergent at the bottom of the sea and hid it, planning to sell it to a gang boss and get rich overnight. When things go wrong, you’ll be the first one dragged down with you… Even if you save him this time, I won’t allow you to associate with him anymore. He’s no good at all!”

Brian opened his mouth, but was speechless. After a long while, he said:

“I haven’t seen Bryce for years, and I never imagined he would turn out this way, so greedy and audacious. But no matter what, Bryce is still my childhood friend, and he doesn’t deserve to die…”

"Uncle Brian, I might have a good suggestion."

Parker suddenly said.

"what?"

"You may not know, but Uncle Baiye is very strong, unexpectedly strong. If you can get him to go with you to that ship of Reis, he will definitely be able to subdue Reis and his men and rescue your childhood friend."

Parker said.

Actually, Parker could go himself without much trouble. With his reaction speed and spider sense, guns wouldn't pose much of a threat to him. Once he gets close, he'd be able to quickly subdue the dozen or so people on Reyes's ship.

But Parker knew that in Brian's eyes, he would always be a child, and no matter what, Brian would not agree to take him on an adventure. At this moment, pushing Bai Ye into the water was very important.

"white night?"

Brian looked at him with a puzzled expression.

"what?"

Bai Ye was also completely bewildered, not knowing how the conversation had turned to him.

"Parker, are you serious?"
