Chapter 141: The Divine Wind’s Regret

“We must keep some capital; otherwise, we won’t even qualify to stand against Black Shark! Fifteen hundred million! We simply can’t put up more!” White Shark argued earnestly.

It wasn’t that White Shark was stingy with money. Rather, having funds was essential to reclaim everything.

Without money, who would risk their life for you?

Besides, the fifteen hundred million already paid to He Tian came from the organization’s account.

But now, the organization’s funds no longer belonged to White Shark.

He was now using personal funds.

Fifteen hundred million dollars was a huge sum even by White Shark’s personal standards. If it weren’t for some funds Tiger Shark had available, White Shark might not have been able to muster even that amount.

“Alright, I’ll be generous. Fifteen hundred million it is!” He Tian nodded slightly at White Shark.

He Tian couldn’t help but cough inwardly—this money was really easy to make! Damn it, why hadn’t he done this during previous missions? Many targets were wealthy! Damn it, when people die, Swiss banks benefit the most.

Those dead accounts... weren’t those funds simply going straight to Swiss banks?

Come to think of it, whether it was government black money or other illicit funds, most chose Swiss banks! And many account holders quietly died each year. Damn, looking at it this way, Swiss banks profited immensely!

Still, He Tian understood that earlier, he hadn’t yet entered the Dragon Soul...

He lacked the freedom to act.

That was unavoidable.

But now it was different.

Now He Tian was like a dragon swimming into the sea, an eagle soaring in the sky—free to handle anything at will. That’s why the difference in experience was so stark.

“Boss!” Shen Feng called out from a discreet corner beside the yacht. A small yacht had been deployed and was keeping pace with the larger one.

Interestingly, the small yacht’s speed far surpassed the large yacht’s.

He Tian jumped aboard.

Sang Kun eagerly followed, stunned by the current situation.

White Shark and Tiger Shark jumped on as well.

Next came six experts of internal energy.

The small yacht was instantly packed to capacity—almost overloaded. It carried a lot of fuel.

But there was no time to worry about that.

Chou immediately started the small yacht and sped ahead much faster than the large yacht.

They had only reached a hundred meters ahead when an explosion sounded behind them.

Shells rained down on and around the yacht.

The entire yacht became a sea of flames and began to tilt instantly.

White Shark and Tiger Shark’s faces turned ashen.

They desperately hoped this wasn’t real, but the facts before them forced belief.

Thinking of Black Shark, their hearts filled with unbearable pain.

“Chou, speed up even more!” The shockwave from the explosion barely affected He Tian and his group, who had already distanced themselves. The sea’s turbulence only caused slight rocking—not lethal.

He Tian knew the enemy would soon learn the situation and wouldn’t hesitate to pursue relentlessly.

Black Shark understood that if White Shark and Tiger Shark escaped, he’d lose leadership of the entire organization.

More than that, his own safety would be at risk.

Under these circumstances, Black Shark would undoubtedly pursue them with full force.

Now… the best they could do was put as much distance as possible.

“Boss White, Boss Tiger, I don’t want to discuss anything else. This is a matter between brothers. Although it pains me, I care more about practicalities now. I need your promise of fifteen hundred million dollars!” He Tian said gravely. “Transfer it to us immediately. Otherwise, I won’t hesitate to feed you to the sea! The sooner you let us go, the faster your yacht moves, and the safer we all are!”

Looking at He Tian’s stern expression, White Shark did not doubt the sincerity of his words.

White Shark didn’t want to be abandoned now.

Of course, he had considered fighting, but after the seemingly lazy man suddenly became sharp and fierce, the six internal energy experts around White Shark changed their expressions drastically.

This confirmed for White Shark that they were utterly powerless against He Tian and his three companions.

They had no choice but to swallow this unequal deal.

“I will honor my promise,” White Shark said.

“Finally, my skills have a use! Wait, let me get online first!” Shen Feng began typing rapidly on his computer. Blue excitement filled his heart—he admired He Tian’s speed in generating money. Twice, fifteen hundred million dollars each time.

That was three billion dollars in total.

Damn, three billion dollars!

At the current exchange rate between dollars and yuan, that was at least eighteen billion yuan, excluding other factors.

Undoubtedly, an enormous sum.

“You...” White Shark saw Shen Feng connect to the internet but hesitated.

“Trust his credibility,” He Tian said seriously. “Trust our credibility.”

White Shark scoffed inwardly but had no other choice.

He could only operate through Shen Feng’s computer.

Watching numbers vanish from his account, White Shark’s heart ached deeply.

Twice in a row! Years of hard work all wasted.

“Please trust me...” Shen Feng closed the laptop and said earnestly, noticing White Shark’s lingering doubt.

Well, Shen Feng admitted that if possible, he would love to hack those accounts. With credentials, it would be easy.

But he wouldn’t do it.

Because the remaining funds—less than a billion dollars—were best left intact for White Shark to use against Black Shark, which would benefit Shen Feng’s group.

This way, all danger would remain contained here without spreading.

---

Black Shark’s face turned grim.

He looked at the sinking yacht.

Noticing the absence of blood or corpses around, he knew his plan had failed.

“Find them! Kill them!” Black Shark roared.

His foolproof plan couldn’t fail.

He couldn’t understand why He Tian and company escaped with White Shark and Tiger Shark.

Why were they tipped off early?

Why?

Black Shark couldn’t comprehend and had no time to ponder.

Frantic, he expanded the search area.

He well knew the influence of White Shark and Tiger Shark.

If they died, those loyal to them could be easily subdued and replaced with Black Shark’s loyalists.

The organization would stabilize immediately.

But if White Shark and Tiger Shark lived and rallied support...

Black Shark could only imagine the chaos.

There would be all-out battles.

The organization’s strength would suffer severe damage.

That was completely against Black Shark’s plan.

He was unwilling to see this.

Furious, Black Shark mobilized massive forces for rapid search and pursuit.

He Tian’s group hadn’t entirely escaped.

The small yacht and complex nearby waters made escape difficult.

Especially as Black Shark’s pursuit grew fiercer.

By nightfall, He Tian’s group had evaded four extremely dangerous chases.

But these encounters allowed Black Shark to roughly pinpoint their location.

He Tian had to change tactics—otherwise, they would be truly trapped.

Though Black Shark had ventured beyond their territory, his superior weapons and forces still posed a lethal threat.

“Eighty nautical miles front-left! There’s a large island connected to many archipelagos with over a million residents!” White Shark recognized the urgency.

“Chou!” He Tian’s eyes brightened; he saw a solution.

They had to land.

And choose a place with normal social order.

Only by blending in could they truly escape danger and leave safely.

Chou changed course immediately and sped toward the island.

“Goodbye, Boss White. Hope luck is on your side!” He Tian waved and disappeared into the mountains with Chou, Lazy Cat, and Shen Feng.

They successfully made it ashore.

He Tian decisively separated from White Shark and Tiger Shark’s group of eight.

As for Sang Kun, He Tian kept his promise and let him go alone.

What happened to Sang Kun afterward was no longer He Tian’s concern.

He understood that Black Shark would focus all efforts on encircling White Shark and Tiger Shark.

Separating from them meant regaining safety.

Sure enough,

After wandering in the mountains and tidying up a bit, He Tian’s group didn’t feel anyone watching them.

“Boss!” Shen Feng whispered beside He Tian.

“Are you really going to do this? It’s our credibility!” He Tian looked at him seriously.

“Boss, who knows who? What credibility?” Shen Feng replied. “There’s still nearly a billion dollars! That’s a huge sum!”

He Tian was tempted.

“Is it simple?” he asked.

“Very simple!” Shen Feng confirmed.

“Then do it,” He Tian said solemnly.

“Alright!” Shen Feng immediately took out his laptop and began working, regardless of location.

“Damn... White Shark is fast!” Shen Feng cursed angrily. “It’s empty inside—already transferred! I should’ve moved it right after we split! We’re too slow!”

Shen Feng was filled with regret.
