The CEO's Substitute Wife Is A Genius-Chapter 354: Harboring Lustful and Malicious Thoughts Towards Jiang Man

Chapter 354: Chapter 354: Harboring Lustful and Malicious Thoughts Towards Jiang Man

On the other side,

aboard the Blackwater Pirates’ ship,

Jiang Man and her party climbed up from the speedboat onto the gangway and successfully boarded the ship.

The pirates that greeted them had dark skin and carried guns in their hands.

The dark muzzles of the guns lined up, pointing straight at the newcomers.

Besides Vermilion Bird and Seth, Jiang Man didn’t bring any other unnecessary people.

Mainly because she felt it wasn’t necessary.

The combined combat prowess of the three of them was enough to knock down a hundred people without a problem.

Moreover, the Red Alliance’s backup forces had already been waiting on a nearby uninhabited island.

Should a distress signal be sent, help could arrive in less than five minutes.

"What’s the situation? Are they three women?"

The sentinel in the watchtower was incredulous.

Kuma narrowed his eyes, "If they dared to come, they must be up to something."

With that, he quickly descended from the watchtower and walked towards Jiang Man and her companions with a smile on his face.

Up close, his gaze immediately fell on Jiang Man, who was at the center.

She looked like a young girl, and moreover, one of those pampered young ladies.

As for the others,

his eyes narrowed once more, his sense of smell sharp.

The two women who looked like bodyguards didn’t seem simple at all.

Whether it was their gaze or their posture, they were very alert and aggressive.

"Are you Boss Jiang?" Kuma asked in Arabic.

Fearing that Jiang Man and her companions wouldn’t understand, he gestured to his subordinate to translate.

Before the translator could even speak,

Jiang Man interrupted with a smile, "Yes, I am."

Kuma was a bit surprised but also became highly alert, "You’re Chinese, and you speak Arabic?"

"Is that so strange? I speak many languages. For a rich second-generation like me, isn’t it normal to have some talents?"

Kuma was confused by her airy tone.

Either this girl was incredibly foolish, not knowing the severity of things and treating negotiations with pirates like child’s play,

or she was hiding her true capabilities, possessing remarkable strength and not at all afraid of them.

To be this fearless and casual in such a situation?

Kuma frowned.

He believed it was the former.

Annoyed, he said, "We’re not here to play house with rich young ladies. We’re asking 10 million for this batch of goods. If you can afford it, we can continue to talk, but if you can’t, tell your family elders to come and negotiate!"

The pirates burst into laughter when they heard ’tell your family elders to come and negotiate,’ their eyes filled with mockery.

"This miss must be a fool, truly reckless and fearless, daring to board our Blackwater Pirates’ ship with just two young girls?"

"Boss, if you ask me, there’s no point in negotiating. She doesn’t seem like someone who can do business!"

Kuma, however, didn’t see it that way.

If the other party could actually come up with the money, he could just take the money and not deliver the goods. What could these weak girls do to him then?

Why not sell the batch again later and get twice the money? That would be splendid, wouldn’t it?

"You all lower your guns, please, and invite Miss Jiang to the dining room for detailed discussions."

The pirates looked at each other.

But the boss’s word was law, and they would only obey, not argue.

The boss had his reasons for taking such actions.

"Miss Jiang, please," Kuma said with a beaming smile. Compared to the other pirates, he seemed much more pleasant and easy on the eyes.

Jiang Man walked ahead while Vermilion Bird and Seth followed closely behind, not daring to let their guard down for a moment.

The dining room on the big ship was spacious, over two hundred square meters, with generous seating.

Jiang Man was invited to sit in the centermost position.

The clever thing about this position was that if the negotiations failed to reach an agreement, there would be no chance of escape.

Jiang Man had long seen through Kuma’s intentions, but on the surface, she feigned ignorance.

The two of them sat down, and Kuma, ever the gentleman, asked what she would like to drink.

"Want-Want Milk, do you have that?"

Kuma was taken aback.

Jiang Man’s lips curved into a sly and defiant smile, "No worries if you don’t, that’s the only thing I drink."

Kuma didn’t respond; he just felt something was off.

It seemed like he was being looked down on by a little girl.

It’s just a glass of milk, after all.

Anyone unaware would think she was asking for a plane or a cannon.

"We really don’t have Want-Want Milk, but we do have plenty of milky colored ammo to sell."

"I’m not interested in ammunition, only in the batteries you have. If I buy them, that won’t cause any trouble, right?"

Jiang Man suddenly turned serious as if she was genuinely interested in negotiating a deal.

Seeing her demeanor, Kuma got serious too, "You can’t use or resell these batteries in Country Z, but outside, who’s going to stop you? By the time your factory repackages and processes them and sells them off in Africa, who’s going to notice? And even if someone does, what of it? The money will be in your hands already."

"You really have the makings of a businessman. It’s a waste for you to be a pirate," Jiang Man said, raising her thumb in approval.

Kuma chuckled, "What’s the fun in being a businessman? All proper and rule-abiding, I prefer the thrill of taking things by force."

Jiang Man raised an eyebrow, getting an insight into a pirate’s true psychological needs for the first time.

Dark and twisted, indeed.

"A price tag of 10 million is too high. As you know, the price of new energy vehicles in Country Z has greatly decreased, now averaging 100,000 each. For your total of 500,000 batteries, aside from the car frames, they’re worth at most 5 million."

"5 million? No deal," Kuma decisively refused straight away.

Jiang Man, playing her role perfectly, furrowed her brow and bargained, "8 million is my final offer, no more. If we can’t come to an agreement, let’s forget the whole thing."

After saying that, she stood up to leave.

The Chinese bargaining tactic was very effective.

Kuma hesitated for a moment before finally letting go of his reservations, "Alright, 8 million it is, with a deposit of 1 million. Three days from now, I’ll deliver the goods to your designated ship."

"Three days is too long," Jiang Man’s eyebrows shot up, cool and aloof, "I want to see the goods immediately, cash on delivery."

"That’s not possible," Kuma said, filled with caution.

Cash on delivery would mean her ship would come for the trade.

Who knew how many people and weapons were hidden on board?

"We do it my way, or the deal’s off," Kuma insisted, clearly very careful and afraid of dying.

Jiang Man chuckled lightly, having anticipated his timidity.

"Let’s meet in the middle. We’ll agree on a deserted island where you’ll drop off the goods, and I’ll be there to pick them up, cash on delivery."

She paused, her lips curving up, "You pick the deserted island." ƒreewebηoveℓ.com

Kuma had already denied one of Jiang Man’s requests. Denying another might provoke her.

If the deal was for 8 million, it was indeed a sure win.

After all, the goods were stolen and would be sold above market value.

"Fine, I’ll choose the island," Kuma said, looking at his watch, "Give me a few hours to prepare. By noon tomorrow, I’ll tell you the location of the trade."

Jiang Man gestured OK.

...

"Boss, you’re just going to let them go?"

After Jiang Man and her party left and the speedboat disappeared on the high seas, the subordinate approached Kuma for clarification.

Kuma scoffed, "First, let’s find out more about this Jiang’s background. If it’s not significant, then tomorrow..."

He made a gesture as if loosening his belt.

The subordinate got the hint instantly.

The surrounding low-ranking pirates, hearing this exchange, had their eyes shining bright.

For pirates, the toughest thing was satisfying their physical needs.

Although there were prostitutes at sea, they were a hassle to find and could expose their identities and whereabouts.

Now they had three women coming directly to them, each attractive in her own right.

Such a good opportunity, they were surely going to have some fun and make the most of it!
