After a long period of time, Fang Tian woke Yang Ming up.
“Get up, kid! Today’s training begins.” Fang Tian shouted in Yang Ming’s ear.
Yang Ming opened his eyes, and then he looked through the container at the sky outside. The bright sun had already appeared. Looking at the direction of the sun, it should be around 9 a.m.
Yang Ming sat up and asked, “When will we get there?”
“I’m not sure. I don’t know how the s.h.i.+pping route was arranged, but eventually, someone would get us out.” Fang Tian opened the backpack and took out a pack of hardtack from it, and threw it to Yang Ming. “Just eat a little.”
” Oh .” Yang Ming took the hardtack and opened them to eat. Yang Ming knew that it was necessary to eat this thing for the next few days. Although he was prepared, he only discovered how bad it tasted once he ate it.
This wasn’t the same as the hardtack sold in the supermarket. The hardtack in the supermarket was catered for the ma.s.ses and the taste wasn’t bad. However, no one knew where or how Fang Tian made this hardtack. Not only was it difficult to eat, but also hard as a rock.
The only benefit was its effect against starvation. After Yang Ming ate two pieces, he already felt full. The biscuits that were eaten were like a foaming agent in the stomach.
After drinking a bit of mineral water that Fang Tian handed over to him, Yang Ming nodded and said, “I have enough.”
“Okay, let’s start the special training.” Fang Tian stood up.
“How do we train?” asked Yang Ming.
“You hit me, and then I hit you.” Fang Tian said one word at a time.
“…” Yang Ming was speechless. This is also training? Isn’t this dueling?
Yang Ming and Fang Tian fought against each other quite a few times. Although Yang Ming could endure a few moves, he ended up losing to Fang Tian. Yang Ming also knew that although he had worked very hard, the gap with Fang Tian was still a few decades. He wouldn’t be able to catch up overnight.
Therefore, while Yang Ming was in the container, the only thing he did every day was to exchange martial arts with Fang Tian, eat and then sleep. Although their excrements were packed in a sealed bag, it was inevitable that some strange smells would be emitted.
In a few days, the strange smell in the container was unpleasant. Moreover, in the middle of their journey, Yang Ming faced certain things that scared him.
One night, a shrill alarm sounded on the calm sea. Yang Ming and Fang Tian opened their eyes at the same time. Yang Ming looked out and saw two patrol wars.h.i.+ps with an unknown country of origin moving closer to the freighter.
“What do we do?” Yang Ming looked at Fang Tian and asked, “It seems that someone is coming to check the boat.”
” Oh …” Fang Tian looked at the watch on his hand and lazily stretched himself. He said indifferently, “Check? How would they check? Can they move the container down?”
Yang Ming had already seen the situation outside. Although there were guns and cannons on the two small wars.h.i.+ps, there were no cranes. If they were to check the s.h.i.+p, it would be quite difficult.
“Don’t worry about it.” Fang Tian said faintly, “It should be the coast guard from a small country we’re pa.s.sing through wanting to get some income.” After that, Fang Tian closed his eyes and went back to sleep.
Sure enough, Yang Ming saw the two wars.h.i.+ps approaching their own freighter, and a big-nosed officer said something to a person who wore a sailor suit.
Then, the sailor also said something in the same language as the big-nosed man and made a few gestures.
After a while, another sailor came over and held two bundles of bills in his hand and threw it to the big-nosed man.
After the big-nosed man accepted it, he flipped through the stack of banknotes with his finger and then nodded in satisfaction. After saying a few words to the other officers behind him, the two wars.h.i.+ps left.
Several sailors on the freighter on Yang Ming’s side had also returned to the cabin one after another. There was not even a glimpse of panic in their expressions. Most probably such incidents were quite common. No one treated it as a big deal at all.
Seeing the looks of the people on the wars.h.i.+p, Yang Ming also knew that he wasn’t far from their destination.
After a few more days, the s.h.i.+p finally docked at a pier… Oh , it wasn’t a pier, because Yang Ming saw another gigantic freighter!
The small freighter that they were riding was docked on the edge of a giant freighter. The crane on the giant freighter hoisted the containers from the small freighter one by one and placed them on the deck.
When the crane lifted the box where Yang Ming and Fang Tian were located, there was a noticeable pause. Then, its speed became very slow and steady, leaving the box alone in another place.
After the box landed, a foreign fat man rushed over with a few sailors. Then, the fat man commanded a sailor to quickly open the container.
” Oh , G.o.d, what is this smell?” The fat man complained using a lame Chinese slang as soon as he went in.
“Hosik, you’re still so fat. It seems that your weight loss plan had failed!” Fang Tian smiled and greeted him.
“Dear Fang, I finally meet you again. My good brother, I thought I would never see you again!” Hosik directly gave Fang Tian a bear hug.
“Don’t curse me. I won’t die even if you die!” Fang Tian pushed the guy in front of him and then gasped for air. “What a fat man! Are you trying to crush me?”
” Ha , I found that my appet.i.te had increased again, so I became so fat. I’m sorry…” Hosik shook his head.
“Let me make some introductions. This is my nephew.” Fang Tian pointed to Yang Ming.
“h.e.l.lo, little guy! You’re so much more handsome than this uncle!” Hosik gave Yang Ming a bear hug.
Yang Ming found it inappropriate to dodge it. Yang Ming had to let him hug. Who knew where this guy learned this d.a.m.n etiquette?
“Is everything ready?” Fang Tian asked Hosik.
“Don’t worry. For a request from an old friend like you, I will do it for you!” Hosik said slyly, “The upcoming s.h.i.+p route will be more relaxing. You’ll no longer have to stay in that d.a.m.n container!”
“Okay, then I will go first. Time is ticking. I will chat with you again next time!” said Fang Tian as he patted Hosik’s shoulder.
” Oh , alright. Initially, I was looking for you to have a drink!” Hosik also understood Fang Tian’s temper and knew that when Fang Tian said he had business to attend to, it must not be delayed.
“The plane is ready. It’s just on the deck over there. It will take you to Henry Resort Island.” Hosik said, “The cruise s.h.i.+p you mentioned will pa.s.s through Henry Resort Island two days later. These are your boarding pa.s.ses and ID cards.”
As Hosik spoke, he took a portfolio and handed it to Fang Tian. “Of course, you can also get on the boat. This ID card and boarding card are just for the time being. There is no problem with these two things. It can be used normally. It is done in under my name, Hosik.”
“If I use it, won’t it cause you trouble?” Fang Tian opened the portfolio, glanced at the doc.u.ments, and then asked with a smile.
” Haha ! I’m not bragging. Who dares to find me, Hosik, trouble?” Hosik grinned a few times. “Well, the question you asked isn’t a question that a friend would ask!”
“I’m just kidding.” Fang Tian waved his hand. “Do not worry. We will try not to board the s.h.i.+p with the pa.s.s.”
“It’s up to you!” Hosik shrugged and said, “Good luck!”
With Fang Tian and Yang Ming on a private plane on the deck, Hosik waved and said goodbye to Fang Tian. The plane took off slowly and headed for Henry Island.
Henry Island didn’t belong to any country. It was a private island. In the Henry Family was a declining n.o.bleman who bought the island with the last of his family’s wealth.
Of course, without his ident.i.ty as a n.o.ble, he couldn’t have bought the island so easily. After that, the Henry Family had been treating the island as a place for wealthy vacations. After many decades, it had also become famous in Europe.
On the island, casinos, luxury hotels, and entertainment venues were all available. It let many rich people enjoy lingering there.
“What does this Hosik do?” Yang Ming asked Fang Tian after boarding the plane.
“He’s an arms dealer who has a very strong background. He is the exclusive spokesperson for many a.r.s.enals. The local government must give him respect and courtesy.” Fang Tian said, “But he is very loyal to people. His relations.h.i.+p with me is firm.”
Yang Ming nodded. No wonder Hosik had such an arrogant tone and said no one would dare to find trouble with him! It seemed that he wasn’t afraid of the trouble that others would bring him. After killing a big drug lord, even if the local government was skeptical about him, they wouldn’t do anything to an arms dealer. It was clear at a glance.
“In the future, my relations.h.i.+ps will be handed over to you slowly. While you familiarize yourself with my network, you should try to make some friends yourself.” Fang Tian said to Yang Ming.
