Chapter 474: Master

"You... are you really giving this to me?"

To be honest, Wei Rusi was truly shocked right now, even doubting for a moment if she had misheard. This was ten billion, in USD! Even if it were ten billion in Jiuzhou currency, that would still be an absolutely terrifying number.

He even raised the price himself to thirteen billion. Was he sure this was for her, and not... Jin Lu?

Her question was also the question on everyone else's mind present.

Everyone looked at Zheng Qian with confusion, especially Pierce, who stood up directly.

He walked excitedly to Zheng Qian's side, cast a strange glance at Wei Rusi, and then whispered: "￥ %# @ @ # ￥ ￥ % ￥ % ￥ # ￥ %%..."

Zheng Qian: ???

"Um... sorry, I don't understand. Although I know what you are saying might need to be kept from her, and you don't want her to hear it, but... um... she is my translator, so it still needs to be relayed to me."

Zheng Qian said to Pierce with a bitter smile.

Both Pierce and Wei Rusi felt a bit awkward, but the latter was even more so.

"Ahem... it's fine even with a translator. I just wanted to say! My friend, Zheng, you really need to take precautions against risks. You chose to give such an expensive item to her; what if she runs off with someone else, or turns around and sells it? What would you do then?"

Pierce didn't mean to avoid Wei Rusi; in his eyes, Wei Rusi was just that type of person.

Just like the two beauties sitting beside him, merely people who came for material gain.

Zheng Qian waved his hand, looking him straight in the eyes, "In my eyes, Wei Rusi is different from other girls. She is not only my best partner in business, but also my good friend. I trust her."

Pierce raised an eyebrow, his eyes full of disbelief.

Then he sighed, his face seemingly carrying a trace of desolation and melancholy. He took a deep drag of his cigar and said meaningfully, "Since your mind is made up, I can only wish you happiness. Sigh, I hope there won't be another heartbroken person like me in this world. Sigh... that hateful Maria... In the past, I wasn't the playboy I am now..."

Watching his slightly stumbling back, Zheng Qian knew this was perhaps a painful memory from his past.

He was very curious about what kind of woman had turned him into what he was today.

"Apologies, Prince Rahman, I really have no mood to stay here now. After a couple of days pass... I will find another opportunity to visit you privately to discuss what we talked about earlier. For today, I shall take my leave."

Lu Xiting took a deep breath, trying hard to calm himself down, and said to Rahman in a low voice.

Rahman nodded slightly in acknowledgment.

"Thank you, Mr. Zheng."

When Zheng Qian was making the payment, Isabella leaned close to his ear and whispered.

Zheng Qian could still understand this simple English sentence. He didn't ask why, because she knew he didn't speak English, yet she still took the initiative to say this to him alone instead of to Wei Rusi; clearly, she didn't want to explain too much.

He just smiled and nodded.

"My dear Zheng, now that you have such a magnificent yacht, how could you not have a suitable place for it? Tell you what, since I am the host, I will gift you a private yacht mooring berth."

Rahman stood up and walked to Zheng Qian's side, smiling as he patted his shoulder and said, "You can rest assured leaving the yacht here for the time being. I will arrange for the captain to help you deliver it; they are all very professional."

As he spoke, Rahman gave Isabella a look.

The latter's delicate body trembled slightly, then she nodded and left with several people.

"Alright, Zheng, I'll take you to a place."

Rahman took a small earpiece from his assistant and handed it to Zheng Qian, gesturing for him to put it on, and said with a smile, "This is the not-yet-officially-released networked OpenAI 4.5. You don't need to worry about translation, and it achieves real-time transmission."

The voice was indeed very crisp and clear.

But...

Why did he give him a translator? Could it be that he wanted to avoid Wei Rusi?

Wei Rusi's beautiful brows knitted slightly, and she looked at Zheng Qian with some worry. She had heard what Rahman just said about avoiding her... could it be that they were going to do something unspeakable?

"Don't worry, the opportunity is rare, and I happen to need to chat with the Prince about banking matters. Plus, this is Sohar, and it's the Prince's official residence, so nothing will happen."

Zheng Qian comforted Wei Rusi this way.

Rahman also nodded, "Rest assured, I already know Miss Wei's identity; she is not an ordinary girl. My daughter is resting in her chambers, and it just so happens she has long admired Miss Wei. I believe the two of them will surely have a lot in common."

"But..."

Wei Rusi struggled for a moment, but still nodded in agreement.

Zheng Qian, however, had a bad premonition. Being with the Prince's daughter?

It seemed the one who should be worried wasn't Wei Rusi, but that little girl... heaven knows if she would fall victim to Wei Rusi's "poisonous hands."

Just like that, several people left the poseidon era.

Rahman didn't bring anyone by his side, not even the wealthy Pierce; only Zheng Qian was with him. Apart from a few guards and attendants around them, the two walked all the way into the official residence and arrived at a slightly dim room.

Rather than a room, with an area of several hundred square meters, it was more like an independent small palace.

"Prince, what are we..."

Zheng Qian had just entered when several incomparably beautiful girls walked over to undress him. These girls were truly too beautiful, and they were all Asian girls who perfectly matched his aesthetic.

Meanwhile, Rahman was doing the same thing.

A moment later, the two of them were "frank with each other."

Zheng Qian suddenly felt his scalp tingle; this Prince... could it be that he liked boys?

"Don't be nervous, my friend." Rahman rested his hands on the two girls and said with a smile, "This is a special reason I'm giving you. Actually, you should have guessed that the poseidon era was my doing."

"More accurately, I am the actual controller behind that shipyard."

"I need money for the election, otherwise I wouldn't have been willing to bring it out. But, my friend, you actually paid a premium of nearly ten billion USD, which is enough to show your sincerity. I am a very realistic person, and it is precisely because you demonstrated enough strength that we have this opportunity to talk. Now follow me, and I will show you the real gift."

"By the way, let's talk about this country."

Since he was already here, he might as well settle in. After a brief moment of panic, Zheng Qian calmed down.

Of course he had guessed that the poseidon era was something Rahman brought out to accumulate wealth; otherwise, he wouldn't have suddenly raised the price at the end. He was just very curious... as to what his so-called real gift was.

Just then, a girl walked over gracefully, her expression icy, yet, with a hint of allure.

She...

"Respected Master, I am here to serve you now."

Isabella knelt in front of Zheng Qian and said.
