A Marine Admiral in the Marvel Universe

Thinking of Cao Gui's grand scheme, Sitwell couldn't help but offer a word of caution; he didn't want to see another rocket explosion on that island.

"No problem, I know what I'm doing," Cao Gui said with a smile.

Meanwhile, Kilgrave, driving to the airport, took out his phone and made a call.

"Kilgrave, what happened? Is there a problem with the plane?" Obadiah asked. He had arranged a private plane specifically for Kilgrave.

“No, Obi.” Purple Man chuckled. “I plan to postpone my trip for a few days and go to New York later.”

"What's going on?" Obadiah asked, puzzled.

“Nothing much, I just spotted two decent prey here.” Behind his sunglasses, Kilgrave’s eyes gleamed, his tone unusually excited.

"Please arrange a place for me to stay; I'm going to stay here for a few days."

“Kil, you…” Obadiah was a little angry.

"What's your rush?" Zi Ren said nonchalantly, "You should know that your matters can't be rushed."

"Oh shit!"

Obadiah angrily hung up the phone, but had no choice but to obediently make the arrangements for Zi Ren.

……

"Gentlemen, all your purchased items are here. We will deliver them to your door within three hours," a mixed-race female saleswoman said with a smile.

"Okay, see you in three hours." Cao Gui paid the deposit and led the three siblings back to the car. The sand blower and air compressor were relatively large items and couldn't fit in the trunk, so the buyer had to deliver them to their door.

"So, young men, where do we go next?" Cao Gui asked.

"Go rent a boat."

"Yes, you need a boat to find treasure."

“Okay, I’ll look for a charter company,” Cao Gui said.

"No need, we've already found it."

“Yes, this is his contact information.” The two younger brothers spoke in succession, and handed over a business card.

"Ha...you guys are really well prepared." Cao Gui's lips twitched slightly. If you had put even a tenth of your energy into studying, your sister's top student position would have been yours.

“Otto Santos… a ship leasing company?” Cao Gui dialed the number on the business card.

"It's me, I'm Bishop." A deep, magnetic baritone voice came from the other end of the phone.

Cao Gui raised an eyebrow; the voice sounded anything but simple: "I want to rent a boat..."

"Let's talk in person. It's not convenient to discuss work over the phone." The man interrupted Cao Gui. "I'm at the mountaintop restaurant. Come over."

“Okay.” Cao Gui hung up the phone and took the three siblings by cable car to the restaurant at the top of the mountain.

This is the central location of the entire island, and also its highest peak. Standing here, you can overlook the entire island. The environment and location are exceptionally perfect, making it a must-visit spot for many tourists.

Inside the restaurant, many people were coming and going. On the barbecue grill, the chefs were busy grilling food, and the waitresses were serving guests.

The restaurant tables were filled with tourists, including young and beautiful women and portly wealthy men. However, Cao Gui noticed that there were also several burly men with bushy sideburns and thick hair.

These people were scattered in the corners, glancing intentionally or unintentionally at the bustling diners.

Gwen frowned as well. Her spider-sense told her that someone nearby was spreading malice. Gwen frowned; this place seemed to be more complicated than she thought.

"Hey, over here." At this moment, a Mediterranean man waved his hand, gesturing for Cao Gui and the others to come over.

Jason Statham?

Cao Gui raised an eyebrow. He wasn't going to be a mercenary or an assassin anymore; he was going to switch careers and go into the shipbuilding industry?

Chapter 179 Who Cuckolded Whom? (Second Update)

“You guys are pretty fast.” Guo Da Statham said expressionlessly, “My name is Otto, and I’ve only been here for less than a minute. You’ve already arrived.”

Cao Gui raised an eyebrow, thinking about the movies related to this guy, but couldn't find any plots that corresponded to the situation at hand.

In my memory, this guy mainly acted in art films when he was young. Later, he went bald and became stronger, starting to become an assassin, mercenary, and so on. But the ship leasing company owner... I really don't remember that.

"Boys, the rest is up to you." Cao Gui patted the heads of his two younger brothers and pressed them down into the chairs opposite Guo Da Statham.

"You just leave such a big thing to two kids like this?" Guo Da Statham's tone was filled with surprise. This is a yacht, these two young men and women are too careless.

Cao Gui shrugged: "Ten thousand or so US dollars, what's so special about that?"

Guo Da Statham's eye twitched slightly. He was a man who had seen a lot of the world, but he had never seen anyone who could talk about tens of thousands of dollars as a few cents before. Damn capitalist!

"Okay, no problem, leave it to us!"

The two younger brothers were eager and full of fighting spirit. In their minds, they switched from being great treasure hunters to elite businessmen, determined to dominate the market and become a legendary bargainer.

"Excuse me, boys, could you please make way? This gentleman and I have something to discuss." A voice came from beside her, a woman's voice, soft yet slightly hoarse, but with a hint of arrogance.

Cao Gui couldn't help but frown and turn his head to look. It was an Asian woman... Although she had an Asian face, she had the temperament of a European or American.

With chestnut-brown hair, fiery red lips, and wearing a black, form-fitting jumpsuit with a wide slit, she appeared cunning and shrewd; it seemed the dress was held up by her bust.

However... although she was very beautiful, the two little boys were not interested in her at all.

At this age, teenagers are pursuing their "careers," and women will only hinder their speed in treasure hunting and business battles.

Just like how we used to focus only on the monkeys and ignore all the fairies and demons, just like how we used to stare at Daigo and ignore Captain Megumi.

"Sorry, we were here first," the boys said, their brows furrowed in displeasure.

But this woman wasn't asking for Cao Gui's opinion, but rather Guo Da Statham's. So she completely ignored Cao Gui's group's objections and turned to look at Guo Da Statham.

"Excuse me, it's first come, first served. Please wait until I've finished dealing with their matters before we talk."

Jason Statham said calmly that he is an assassin who can act against his will, kill without blinking an eye and do whatever he wants, but he cannot break his promise.

After being bluntly rebuked, a hint of annoyance flashed in the woman's eyes, and she slowly said:

"What if I insist on talking to you right now?"

Upon hearing this, Cao Gui and Guo Da both looked at her with displeasure. This woman... was far too tactless.

However, the woman in the black dress did not back down and glared angrily at Guo Da.

Guo Da Statham's expression darkened slightly. He picked up his beer, took a sip, and slowly said, "Then tell me."

In the past, he would have killed the other party on the spot, but now that he is retired, he doesn't want to disrupt his peaceful retirement life.

“My boss wants you to do him a favor. He wants three people to die, and to die in a way that looks like an accident. I think that’s your specialty, Otto… no, I should say Mr. Arthur.”

Upon hearing this, the two boys' eyes lit up. So this person was an assassin? How cool!

Gwen frowned. So it was a hired murder, and judging from the situation, the force behind it was quite powerful.

Cao Gui was startled. Arthur... so he was a mechanic.

Upon realizing this, Cao Gui's expression turned somewhat strange. If he remembered correctly, Jason Statham later dated Jessica Alba... the same sexy girl with tanned skin he encountered during the car crash.

So, between Jason and Paul, who cheated on whom?

Should I take Gwen and the others and leave this place?

Cao Gui thought to himself, but he didn't know what excuse to use. It was impossible to offend both sides. He could only take advantage of the chaos when they started fighting and leave with the two little kids.

Thinking of this, Cao Gui flicked his finger and secretly took a picture of the woman with his phone. If it weren't for the girl beside him, Cao Gui would have killed the woman long ago.

Upon hearing the woman's words, Guo Da Statham's Arthur-like gaze turned cold, but his expression remained unchanged. He picked up the bottle, took a sip of beer, and said calmly:

"I don't know what you're talking about. I'm not Arthur, I'm just an ordinary person who provides ship charter services."

"Come on, let's continue our business talk. What kind of ship do you want?"

Arthur's last words were directed at Cao Gui and the others. He wanted to finish the business quickly and leave, as this woman was clearly not a good person.

“A medium-sized yacht, equipped with sonar and electronic sensors,” Cao Gui said, ignoring Arthur’s identity as an assassin and treating him as just an ordinary boat rental company owner.

"Looks like another treasure hunter." Arthur smiled upon hearing this. "Of course, my ship can be used for both leisure and treasure hunting..."

"Mr. Arthur." The woman, who had been left standing there, was fed up and pulled out her phone to play a video:

"Everyone thinks you're dead, but my boss will notify everyone who's interested in you. You don't want your happy life here to be affected, do you?"

As she spoke, she showed her phone screen to her two younger brothers. The woman's purpose in doing this was simple: to force Arthur to kill Cao Gui and the other three.

Moreover, as soon as these words were spoken, several burly men sitting in various corners stood up and slowly moved closer to Cao Gui and his group.

The conversation ended, and they prepared to fight.

Gwen took Cao Gui's hand and shielded her two younger brothers behind her. She hadn't expected that a simple boat rental business would escalate into such a tense situation; the chaos in this country was beyond her imagination.

“You people… are really annoying,” Arthur said coldly, then suddenly leaped up, grabbed a bottle, and smashed it down on the woman’s head.

With a loud crash, the bottle shattered instantly, splashing beer everywhere, and the aroma of malt burst forth with the spray.

"Ah..."

The woman was immediately bleeding from her head, screaming and staggering backward. At the same time, the burly men around her no longer hesitated and rushed towards Arthur.

"Oh God, there's a fight!"

"Run, run!"

"Where are the security guards? Where are they?"

Suddenly, the once quiet mountaintop restaurant descended into chaos. Diners and tourists screamed and scrambled to the edge of the restaurant, but the tourists did not flee in panic.

Although the big man and Arthur were hitting hard and trying to kill, they didn't use guns, so it wouldn't affect or harm anyone else.

Cao Gui and Gwen pulled their two younger brothers quickly to the wall. To be honest, at first, this woman made them lower their guard, but when she revealed Arthur's true identity, Cao Gui and the others found it difficult to escape.

"Let's go," Cao Gui said softly, pulling Gwen and the other two quickly toward the restaurant entrance.

“Okay!” Gwen understood immediately, pushed through the crowd, opened a small space, and then pulled her brother inside.

However, at this moment, the woman whose head had been smashed by Arthur's bottle recovered. Touching the large wound on her forehead, she instantly broke down; she had been disfigured.

"what--!"

Her once gentle and sexy face was now contorted with rage. Her eyes darted around and she saw Cao Gui and his three companions preparing to flee. Anger surged within her, and evil thoughts took hold.

Suddenly, she lifted her skirt, pulled out a pistol from her inner thigh, and raised it towards Cao Gui and his group of four.
