A Marine Admiral in the Marvel Universe

Cao Gui shrugged: "That's a bit troublesome."

As he spoke, a sedative was injected into Catherine's neck.

“Cao…” Catherine’s body went limp and she collapsed.

Cao Gui held her in his arms and shot and killed all the pirates standing nearby.

Ding!

[The host has eliminated the pirates in the Java Sea, completing a "Protecting the Territory and Safeguarding the People" mission. Reward: 1000 Merit Points, 500 Experience Points.]

After doing all this, Cao Gui used his knife to split the wood, revealing the gold, and then put all the gold into his [system inventory]. After tidying up the camp, he took Catherine back to the yacht.

If I remember correctly, the original text says there were a total of eight tons of gold, which is no small amount.

After thinking for a moment, Cao Gui dialed the number of the financial capitalist:

"Hey, Beth, there's something I need your help with..."

Chapter 80 I'm a Rich Man Now

"What did you say? You found another treasure?" Beth complained on the other end of the phone, "Damn it, why are you so lucky to find another treasure?"

“That’s not important,” Cao Gui said. “Find me a trustworthy person; I have some gold to sell.”

"Okay," Beth said helplessly, "Where are you now?"

Jakarta.

"Indonesia?" Beth exclaimed in surprise. "How did you end up there?"

"Looking for treasure."

“Okay, I’ll help you get in touch,” Beth said. “But… there’s a small favor I’d like to ask you for.”

Cao Gui frowned: "What is it? Tell me."

"I'm planning to go to Prague soon. Could you come with me? Eastern Europe is dangerous."

Cao Gui rolled his eyes: "You're still going even if it's dangerous?"

"Oh dear, I'm just a little worried, please help me out."

"Okay, when? I have things to do recently, and I probably won't be able to find the time within a week," Cao Gui said. He was planning to go to Borneo on the nearby Kalimantan Island.

"No rush. Whitney and I are taking painting courses in Rome. Let me know when you have time, and we'll head out then."

"Okay, I'll contact you then."

"OK, I'll contact someone for you right away."

……

Inside a hotel room in Jakarta.

"Ugh...it feels so bad..."

Before Katharine even opened her eyes, she sensed that what was behind her wasn't a bed, but rather a series of stones.

"Ouch, this is so hard! What is this thing?" Catherine sat up blankly, but as soon as she moved, the clanging and clattering sounds continued.

Upon closer inspection, he discovered that he was sleeping on a mountain of gold.

A real gold mine!

A large pile of gold nuggets was stacked in the room, forming a small hill.

“Oh my God, how much gold that must be!” Catherine exclaimed.

“Eight tons.” Cao Gui’s voice rang out: “Catherine, half for each of us, cut in half.”

"Really?" Catherine was overjoyed. "I... I... damn it, I haven't been a single help along the way, I..."

"No need for further explanation, just split it in half," Cao Gui said with a smile.

"Oh God, you are my hero." Catherine was overwhelmed with emotion and embraced Cao Gui, giving him a passionate kiss.

Perhaps Cao Gui only gave her half out of equality, but in any case, four tons of gold was a lifeline for her bankrupt family.

After a while, Cao Gui patted her head. By this time, Jia Fulian was panting heavily, lying in Cao Gui's arms and breathing heavily.

“Cao, I studied history.” Catherine blushed and her eyes were like water. “I know that in your country’s ancient history, if a woman was saved by a man, he would repay her with his body if he was handsome, and if he was ugly, she would repay him in the next life.”

"so what?"

Catherine hugged Cao Gui's neck: "So let's do something we love!"

blah blah~

Before Cao Gui could speak, a knock on the door broke the romantic atmosphere between the two.

Katharine frowned; she was really annoyed at being interrupted!

Cao Gui guessed... it must be the people Beth contacted who arrived. When he opened the door, he saw three white men in suits. Upon seeing Cao Gui, the leader said with a stern face, "Hello, are you Mr. Cao?"

He spoke in perfect, clear Mandarin, which surprised Cao Gui for a moment, then he nodded.

"Ms. Beth contacted me and said you have a batch of gold you want to sell?"

"Yes."

"I'd like to ask, what is the quantity?"

The man continued to ask, and to be honest, he was very unwilling. He was enjoying a wonderful holiday in Singapore when he was sent to Indonesia by his superiors with a time limit. Anyone would be unhappy in that situation.

"Eight tons!"

But Cao Gui's next words made his displeasure vanish.

Cao Gui gently pushed open the door, revealing gold nuggets carelessly tossed behind him.

"Oh my God," the man murmured in disbelief. Eight tons of gold were right in front of him; the impact was immense.

"Let's settle the accounts, sir," Cao Gui said with a smile.

"No problem, sir!"

"Let's begin, sir!"

The man chuckled, gestured for the two men behind him to inspect the gold bars, and then began to calculate the price based on the day's gold price, ultimately giving a price of 63 million US dollars per ton of gold.

Cao Gui directly asked Jiafulian to handle it, as he wasn't good at this. After a series of calculations and phone calls to confirm, Jiafulian finally agreed to the price.

To put it simply, with eight tons of gold and five hundred million US dollars, I, Cao, am now a rich man.

After the transaction was completed, Cao Gui and Jia Fulian handed over the land to these people and enjoyed a pleasant trip in Indonesia. Three days later, Cao Gui and Jia Fulian parted ways.

She was in a hurry to go back and handle family affairs, while Cao Gui set off for Borneo.

……

Potsdam, Germany.

Sitwell and Rumlow emerged from an abandoned factory in the suburbs, covered in blood.

"Damn it, I never knew rich people could be so twisted!"

Rumlow's face was ashen. The gruesome corpses in the factory didn't bother him much; having been trained by Hydra, he had seen far more brutal things.

What shocked him was the pure evil and perverse heart of those wealthy people who paid money to torture and kill.

How exactly do they manage to kill for the sake of killing?

“There are always some mentally unstable people in this world,” Sitwell said. As an agent, he had seen far more wicked people than Rumlow, an operative. Relatively speaking, he remained calm.

“Let’s go to Eastern Europe. We should be able to find the Lilith Club’s headquarters there,” Sitwell said casually, glancing at a business card with a dog’s head drawn on it.

……

Kalimantan Island, Borneo, Palan Province.

The rain poured down from the sky, the dense raindrops pattering against everything on the street. It was the rainy season in Indonesia, and in such a tropical place, it was normal for it to rain for a week straight.

Cao Gui looked at the sky and couldn't help but feel a little fortunate. Luckily, it didn't rain while he and Katharine were looking for gold.

However, precisely because of this, many ships stopped setting sail.

The rain was torrential, and with the flood season approaching, no one dared to risk their lives.

Of course, even so, there are still people who value money over their lives. After some inquiries, Cao Gui finally found a captain named Jin Song who dared to sail during the rainy season.

However, when Cao Gui found Jin Song, he discovered that the other party was a white man, and there was also a group of Americans who planned to rent a boat.

"Sorry, sir, the boat has already been rented by us," a burly black man said with a smile; he was the leader of the group.

“That’s right, kid from China.” Jin Song said, a cigarette dangling from his lips. His real name was Bill Johnson, but the locals called him Jin Song.

"I've already promised someone else, you should go back."

Cao Gui chuckled: "Betrayal is simply because the stakes weren't high enough. Tell me, how much did these people offer?"

“Fifty thousand US dollars.” Jin Song wasn’t angry at all. He just laughed. He was always greedy for money, and he was even better if someone offered a high price.

“Then I’ll offer 100,000!” Cao Gui said.

"Are you serious?" Jin Song's eyes lit up immediately. He hadn't expected Cao Gui to double the price.

"Wait, wait, we were here first." The black man stopped Kim Song.

However, Kim Song ignored him.

"Wait a minute, sir," a white man next to the Black man quickly said, "You don't need to pay, we'd like to give you a ride, how about that?"

"You're coming with us."

Cao Gui's generosity took him by surprise. He knew that if Cao Gui continued to increase the price, they would have no boat left and would have to turn back.

Jin Song smacked his lips, regretting that he hadn't been able to reap the benefits.

"Alright, gentlemen, we're leaving tomorrow. Go back and pack your things."

Chapter 81 Blood Orchid Within Reach

"Cao, why do you want to go upstream at this time?" A blonde girl ran up to Cao Gui on an old, dilapidated boat and asked.
