Ocean Lords: Start Harvesting Double from Dice Rolls

Chapter 715 - 352: Rude Yue’s Friendship and News (Part 2)

Brother Yue is looking for me for something urgent?

Earlier, Brother Yue went into the depths of Essence Feast on my request to investigate this company.

Now, seeing the message from Brother Yue, Fang Yu couldn’t help but feel a heaviness in his heart.

Judging by Brother Yue’s demeanor, there’s clearly something unusual going on inside Essence Feast; otherwise, he wouldn’t be this anxious.

Hopefully, it won’t affect my mission progress.

If Lanyun Sea Country attacks, they’re counting on the resources from Essence Feast for military supplies.

Feeling an uneasy worry that wouldn’t calm down, Fang Yu decided to abandon his cultivation, stood up directly, and went up to the deck to await Brother Yue’s arrival.

About ten minutes later, Brother Yue arrived in a swift stride.

Though he’s a burly figure, his movements were quite nimble, and he quickly made his way onto the deck of the Salted Fish.

"How did it go, brother!"

Fang Yu approached, asking Brother Yue.

Brother Yue didn’t answer, just waved his hand repeatedly, then softly croaked, "Water!!"

"Water?" Fang Yu hurriedly called a crew member over to bring some fresh water, handing it to Brother Yue.

Brother Yue didn’t stand on ceremony with Fang Yu, grabbing the cup from his hand and gulping down the fresh water greedily.

"Ah~~"

After a moment, Brother Yue let out a refreshed sound, his spirit slightly perked up.

"Brother, what’s up with you? Why are you so thirsty?"

Fang Yu looked at Brother Yue with some surprise, asking in confusion.

"Oh, right, little brother!"

Brother Yue snapped back to attention, quickly saying: "While you were out dealing with the Zhang Clan, I wasn’t idle either, and went straight to investigate inside Essence Feast."

"But it wasn’t easy, the executives in Essence Feast are as slick as monkeys, not revealing even a hint of a clue."

"I felt something was off, this stringent guard felt more baffling, making me more convinced there’s definitely some shadiness within Essence Feast, so I quickly used my connections to investigate quietly."

"Turns out, I did find some results."

"Our people found out that during this period, Essence Feast has been quietly hiring sea vessels to transport goods, leaving Nanhui City Port."

"Not only that, the main outlets of Essence Feast have successively closed, reportedly to stockpile for future military operations."

Hearing Brother Yue’s words, Fang Yu was slightly taken aback: "They’re transporting goods away from Nanhui City Port?"

"Yes!"

Brother Yue quickly replied, addressing Fang Yu: "I sensed something was off, so I hid in those cargo ships in advance, ready to follow these ships to see what kind of goods Essence Feast is actually transporting and where to."

"And wouldn’t you know it, when I checked, I was taken aback!"

Brother Yue’s face showed an exaggerated expression, then he whispered: "The goods these cargo ships are transporting are shockingly the front-line resources you mentioned!"

"These bastards are quietly smuggling front-line resources out of Nanhui City."

"What?"

Upon hearing Brother Yue’s words, Fang Yu’s expression slightly changed, his brows furrowing sharply.

I have yet to sign a contract with Essence Feast; there’s absolutely no way this batch of resources is being transported to the front. Marketing director Chang Dong already agreed with me that the front-line resources would only be shipped after I sign the contract, but now...

"These goods aren’t heading to the front lines; they’re trying to move them out of Nanhui City!"

Fang Yu couldn’t help but whisper through gritted teeth.

"Huh? How did you know, little brother Fang Yu?" Brother Yue glanced at Fang Yu in surprise and then lowered his voice: "I was following them on their sea ships, observing secretly, and found they were transporting the resources to a remote island, seemingly using it as a transfer station."

"But I sensed there were experts stationed on that island. If I continued following them, those experts might discover me, putting my life in danger, so I quietly disembarked midway and swam back!"

Brother Yue grinned, taking another bottle of water from Luu Yuan, gulping it down quickly.

"You swam back?"

Fang Yu looked at Brother Yue with some shock.

No wonder he looked so incredibly thirsty, swimming back with the power of an extraordinary captain no doubt was extremely fast.

But even so, Brother Yue still appeared incredibly parched, indicating that the location of that island was definitely very far from Nanhui City.

Having crossed such a vast sea, the moment he returned, he rushed straight to me without delay.

Such camaraderie warmed Fang Yu’s heart, and he quickly expressed his gratitude: "Thank you, Brother Yue!"

Brother Yue shook his head, waving his hand: "No need for formalities, little brother. What you need to do now is find a way to intercept this batch of goods."

"Otherwise, once they successfully transport these goods, it’s going to be hard to get them back!"

"Indeed!"

Fang Yu nodded quickly, not intending to dwell further on formalities with Brother Yue.

At this moment, the whole situation suddenly became clear to him.

At that time, Chang Dong told me to come back in four days to sign the contract. In reality, those four days were merely Essence Feast’s delaying tactic.

They utilized this four-day window to quietly smuggle a large quantity of resources out of Nanhui City, sending them somewhere. The purpose was to ensure that when the Duorong Federation goes to war, it lacks resources and thus is no match for Lanyun Sea Country.

"I found Peacekeeping Council’s envoy planted within Duorong Federation; he must be hiding inside Essence Feast, possibly being the boss of Essence Feast."

Fang Yu thought inwardly, realizing everything clearly at this moment.

At the time, the old man had mentioned that within the Duorong Federation, there must be members of the Peacekeeping Council. This member was very likely a doppelgänger of Chongyuan.

Adding to the previous incident at Treasure Mound, when Meng Biao was pushed into a military officer position, joining forces with Lanyun Sea Country’s forces to attack Fang Yu,

this indicated that the enemy wasn’t just hidden within Lanyun Sea Country, but also within the Duorong Federation.

And now, I’ve figured out this person’s identity, but the situation isn’t completely resolved.

Because since Chang Dong has set an appointment with me for four days later, he must have the capability to transport all the goods out of Duorong Federation’s territory by then.

And tomorrow marks the last day of the four-day appointment, so clearly, tomorrow is the final day for pursuing them.

If I fail to catch up by tomorrow, this batch of resources will be entirely smuggled out of Duorong Federation, heading into Lanyun Sea Country.

Going back and forth, the strength gap between both sides would widen, with corresponding disparities in wartime supply capabilities.

It’s foreseeable that by then, Duorong Federation may very well fall at the hands of Lanyun Sea Country.

Thinking of this, Fang Yu jolted with realization and, without a word, stepped forward briskly.

On this occasion, equipped with foresight, they had layers of plans stacked against each other.

If they succeed, this journey will inevitably land me in a passive situation; I must take immediate action.

Fang Yu didn’t even greet Brother Yue as he dashed towards the direction of the senior military leader.

And seeing Fang Yu’s departing figure, Brother Yue nodded slightly, not blaming Fang Yu for the oversight.

He picked up a few bottles of water, gulped them down in one go, exhaled a comforting breath after a moment, and then stood up, speaking to Luu Yuan beside him:

"If little brother Fang Yu returns, tell him Brother Yue has gone to gather our men to help him intercept the resources, and I’ll be back soon!"

Listening to the rough man who was still thinking about Fang Yu, Luu Yuan and the crew were moved, quickly saying, "Thank you, Captain Yue!"

"It’s nothing. That kid Fang Yu managed to kill Zhang Yi, which was beyond our expectations."

"Helping in moments of need is better than celebrating success. I just hope when Fang Yu gains momentum in the future, he won’t forget us old captains who came in a bit earlier!"

Luu Yuan and others all nodded in unison, then watched as Brother Yue hurriedly left once more.
