Leveling Up With My Pet

"Wait for me!"

Chen Hu shouted as he sprinted towards the helipad.

He had good eyesight and could already make out the logo of the Tanaka Foundation on the approaching helicopter.

The helicopter slowly descended, finally landing on the helipad of Universal's massive salvage ship, which weighed thousands of tons.

Three people disembarked from the aircraft, with the middle-aged man leading the way.

It was Jiro Kimura, the representative of the Tanaka Foundation, who had come to negotiate with Liu Yong face-to-face.

" I am Jiro Kimura. It's a pleasure to meet you," said Kimura as he extended his hand for a handshake.

Liu Yong reciprocated the gesture, but Kimura surprised him by saluting and bowing simultaneously.

"I am Liu Yong," he introduced himself but didn't bow back. The RB people were not accustomed to such formalities.

After exchanging pleasantries, they headed towards a cabin prepared earlier on the ship, with Liu Yong leading the way.

As they sat down and started talking, Liu Yong couldn't help but notice that Jiro Kimura's politeness seemed forced and gave off an air of arrogance.

Despite this, they continued their discussion.

Liu Yong couldn't help but smile slightly, thinking Kimura Jiro might be arrogant now, but he wouldn't stay that way long.

After a brief chat, they got down to business.

"Liu Sang, you really have the ability to hunt and kill that giant shark," remarked Kimura Jiro.

"Of course," replied Liu Yong confidently.

"There's a saying in our country that goes, 'If you don't have diamonds, you can't do porcelain work.' Of course, we have full confidence."

Kimura Jiro then proposed a deal,

"Okay, if your company can kill that giant shark within three days, we are willing to pay 200 million U.S. dollars, but we must sign a contract. If you fail to kill it within three days, your company must pay liquidated damages."

Liu Yong smiled confidently, understanding that this was likely an order from the senior management of the Tanaka Consortium.

They had thought it best to kill the giant shark within three days.

If Universal Company needed more time, the compensation would likely be reduced.

The Tanaka Consortium was only willing to offer such a high price of 200 million dollars with this condition.

"From the time the contract is signed, there is no problem killing the giant shark within three days. If we fail to kill it within three days, we have no problem paying liquidated damages,"

Responded Liu Yong.

"Okay, then we can sign the contract now," agreed Kimura Jiro.

Jiro Tanaka even brought the contract template, which both parties could fill out quickly and sign.

However, at that moment, Bawang contacted Liu Yong.

"Master, I have spotted that giant shark, but it hasn't found me yet. Should I follow it quietly?"

Liu Yong was surprised, as Bawang was currently located one or two hundred nautical miles away.

He couldn't believe that the giant shark had swum so far and was still haunting that area.

Liu Yong quickly ordered Bawang to follow quietly and wait for his instructions before acting. Bawang replied confidently,

"Master, it can't find me unless I let it find me."

Liu Yong had just given instructions to the Overlord when he realized something.

Since the Overlord had already discovered and secretly followed the giant shark, it was like having a valuable item removed from his bag.

The Tanaka consortium was a massive and wealthy organization, and they had agreed to pay a hefty sum of 200 million US dollars to have the giant shark killed.

However, they had stipulated that the task must be completed within three days after the contract was signed.

Liu Yong thought to himself that, with their strength, it wouldn't take them three days, or even two or one day, to kill the shark.

Jiro Kimura was taken aback, thinking he had misheard. He asked in disbelief,

"You really think you can kill that giant shark in a day?" To which Liu Yong confidently replied,

"Of course."

Jiro Tanaka wasn't foolish and knew that if they managed to kill the giant shark in a day, the price would not be 200 million US dollars.

It would be much higher.

As expected, Liu Yong quoted them a price,

"We require 250 million US dollars to kill the giant shark within two days and no less than 300 million US dollars to kill it within 24 hours."

The price tag of 300 million US dollars shocked Jiro Tanaka.

He exclaimed, "Liu Sang, that's too expensive!"

But Liu Yong shook his head and stated firmly, "300 million US dollars, not a penny less. We do not accept bargaining."

It was an expensive deal, and there was no room for bargaining. Liu Yong knew he was the only one who could kill the giant shark within 24 hours, making it a seller's market.

After a brief hesitation, Jiro Tanaka said, "I cannot decide this matter. I will have to call for instructions."

Liu Yong made a pleased gesture, indicating he was willing to wait.

Jiro Kimura stepped out of the salvage ship to make an urgent phone call that lasted more than ten minutes.

Upon returning, his demeanor had undergone a complete transformation. Gone was his prior arrogance, replaced instead by an air of excitement.

"300 million US dollars," Jiro exclaimed to Liu Yong,

"We can accept this price, but you must guarantee to kill the giant shark within 24 hours."

Liu Yong, a hunting team member, responded confidently,

"No problem, we can do it. If we succeed in killing the giant shark, you must remit the 300 million US dollars to our company's account within 24 hours."

Jiro Kimura readily agreed, and soon the two parties signed a formal contract on the salvage ship.

The agreement stated that Jiro Kimura would pay liquidated damages of 300 million if the hunting team failed to deliver.

Jiro Kimura was eager to stay and witness Universal's hunting process for the giant shark, but Liu Yong ordered him to leave.

The entire hunting process was to remain confidential, and Jiro Kimura would be notified when the task was completed.

Despite his disappointment, Jiro Kimura eventually left in his helicopter.

Chen Hu, who had been present the entire time, was visibly astonished by the money involved.

Three hundred million dollars was an astronomical sum, and he watched as Liu Yong effortlessly settled the deal in less than an hour.

Even more impressive was that Jiro Kimura didn't even try to negotiate the price.

As Jiro Kimura left, Chen Hu expressed his disbelief at the ease with which Liu Yong had negotiated the 300 million US dollar contract.

He marveled at Jiro Kimura's change in attitude from arrogance to a low profile and observed that he didn't even bow before leaving.

Chen Hu continued,

"Boss, 300 million US dollars, these RB people are really stupid and have a lot of money, so they just signed the contract."

Liu Yong responded with a smile,

"It's not that they are stupid and have a lot of money, but that they have taken a fancy to our ability. In addition, they are under a lot of pressure. They don't want to let that giant shark continue to cause trouble like this. Of course, the sooner we put an end to it, the better."

He explained that 300 million US dollars was not an astronomical figure for the Tanaka Foundation, and they needed more resources to handle such a difficult task.

Chen Hu couldn't comprehend the world of the rich and thought to himself,

"If it were me, I would feel reluctant to spend 300 million US dollars to hunt and kill this giant shark."
