A god-tier fishing spot, anglers lined up to give me money.

Chapter 90 Clarification

Looking at Bai Yiteng lounging lazily on the sofa, Yang Qi felt nothing but anger and gritted his teeth, saying:

What benefits do you want?

Shirai Ito pulled his hand out from behind his head and leaned forward:

"A fish similar to Gu Shang. It doesn't need to be a dragon-shaped koi, but its grade cannot be lower than a dragon-shaped koi."

Yang Qi immediately shook his head: "No."

While saying that, at the same instant, the image of the giant gar was on his mind.

Without showing any emotion, he added, "Mr. Gu discovered that dragon-shaped koi by chance. Do you really think fish of that caliber are everywhere?"

"Just because it doesn't exist now doesn't mean it won't happen in the future."

Shirai Ito said calmly, "Since you can produce a dragon-shaped koi, I believe you can produce others too."

He sat up, tapping the corner of the table lightly with his fingertips. "I trust my intuition. My intuition tells me that your reservoir is special; it can cause fish to mutate."

He paused, then continued, "I might as well tell you, when Gu Shang transported the dragon-shaped koi back to the capital, your reservoir was already being targeted."

Upon hearing this, Yang Qi's brow twitched.

Bai Yiteng, seeing his reaction, smirked: "If it weren't for the Gu family protecting it, someone would have already snatched it. Do you think those people upstairs would just ignore such a huge dragon-shaped koi emerging from your little reservoir?"

Yang Qi remained silent.

After the dragon-shaped koi was taken away, no one bothered him. He had thought it was just good luck, but now it seemed that Gu Shang had shielded him from it.

"If you promise me that if you ever find a fish of the same quality as the Dragon Koi, give me one, and my Bai family will guarantee your safety. How about it? You won't lose out on this deal; it's the same price."

Yang Qi stared at him.

A dragon-shaped koi fish has been targeted; what will happen next?

What will happen next, after the gar that devoured the sky a few days ago?

Without powerful backers, this reservoir is a tempting target, attracting more and more people to covet it.

Once they discover that he cannot mutate and is nothing special, they will target him, and even his family.

Even though you have a family now, who would complain about having too many powerful backers?

Moreover, since Bai Yiteng dared to say these things, it means he was absolutely certain that Yang Qi would agree.

Yang Qi had no choice at all.

Trading a fish for the protection of the Bai family in the capital is a huge profit. It's definitely not a bad deal.

"good."

Yang Qi nodded, "If I have it, I'll sell it to you. But that's on the condition that I have it; if I don't, there's nothing I can do."

Bai Yiteng looked at him and smiled, "Boss Yang, are you admitting that the reservoir has the ability to mutate fish?"

He leaned back, sinking into the sofa, and crossed his legs. "This makes me even more curious. What kind of reservoir could possibly produce fish that are rare even in the Boundary Sea, and so orderly and calm..."

"Hey Mr. Yang, how about we do another business deal?"

Yang Qi clenched and unclenched his fists on his knees, feeling somewhat annoyed that Bai Yiteng had inadvertently tricked him into revealing information.

But he was helpless. This was a flaw in his thinking; he lacked experience and couldn't navigate the intricacies of those wealthy young men from the capital.

Who can he blame?

I can only blame myself for speaking too quickly.

"Young Master Bai, please speak."

"My Bai family has invested in your fishing grounds."

Shirai Ito slowed down his speech, as if giving Yang Qi enough time to process it.

"I don't want your money, nor your shares. I only have one condition: if any mutated fish are discovered in the future, my Bai family will take them all."

Without even thinking, he refused. The Gu family was more powerful than the Bai family, that was a fact. Yang Qi knew he couldn't break his contract with the Gu family for the sake of the Bai family.

"...That might not work. I signed a contract with President Gu, and I need to contact him immediately if I discover any mutated fish."

When Bai Yiteng heard the words "President Gu," his expression turned somewhat unpleasant: "It's him again?!"

"Sigh, then I'll compromise. One for him, one for me, half and half. If the deal goes through, I can protect you and your family from the interference of the Dark Anchor organization."

He paused, then said in a low voice, "...Actually, I discovered the Dark Anchor organization a few days ago."

"You..." Yang Qi straightened up, "You found out?"

Shirai Ito shrugged. "Don't get agitated, or do you think I'm in your way by going to that fishing spot?"

Yang Qi straightened up, his voice deepening slightly: "Then why didn't you tell me?"

"Why should I tell you?" Shirai Ito retorted. "I get nothing out of it. But now I do."

After a long pause, Yang Qi nodded and said, "Okay. I agree."

"OK."

Shiraito straightened up and took out his phone.

"Let's add each other as friends first, so we can stay in touch. I'll be going to the Great Wall of the Boundary Sea for training soon, and we won't be in much contact after that."

The two added each other as friends by scanning a QR code. Yang Qi put his phone away and looked directly into his eyes:

"Now can you tell me what the Great Wall of the Boundary Sea is? And what the Dark Anchor organization is?"

"Okay!" Shirai Ito put away his playful expression and said seriously, "The Great Wall was used to defend against enemies in ancient times, and the Great Wall over the border sea was naturally used to defend against enemies as well. However, the one on the border sea was used to defend against the Xiongnu in ancient times, while the one on the other side was used to defend against giant creatures in the water."

On the other side of the boundary sea, the size of the creatures is beyond imagination.

But if they were just giant creatures, that would be fine. Unfortunately, these weren't ordinary giant creatures; they were savage, monstrous beasts corrupted by some unknown substance, capable of massacre. Even atomic bombs and nuclear weapons could only slow their advance.

A nuclear bomb? Wow, that's amazing! You'd have to cultivate immortality for that! Yang Qi was taken aback.

Shirai Itō continued, "The Great Wall of the Boundary Sea is located in the core area of the North and South Poles. It used to be sealed by glaciers, but since the greenhouse effect intensified and the glaciers melted, the sealed behemoths have been unsealed more and more frequently..."

"Aba aba..."

After hearing the description of the Great Wall at the Boundary Sea, Yang Qi remained unsettled for a long time.

He then discovered that, beneath the cover of Christmas Eve, there were still such world mysteries at the North and South Poles.

This reminded him of the international bans on going deep into the North and South Poles that had been issued in the past, and now, just thinking about it sends chills down his spine.

"What about the Dark Anchor organization?"

"The Dark Anchor Organization..." Shirai Ito took a sip of lemonade and said, "It's actually a cult composed of corrupted guardians. They're extremely well-hidden, and those discovered are mostly ordinary people who have been brainwashed. Their only goal is: to liberate the North and South Poles and usher in a new era."

"A group of madmen liberate the North and South Poles, only to be met with a world-wide invasion of giants."

Aba aba...

"Okay, I've told you everything you wanted to know."

Shirai Ito put her crossed legs down and stretched:

"These are things that ordinary people like you would never know. I hope you can keep them a secret."

The reason?!

Gu Shang should have already told you that if ordinary people know too much, it will inevitably cause social panic.

He extended his hand. "Alright, you've asked all your questions. You can go now. Take care, and don't bother seeing me out."

"Thank you. It seems you're not such a cynical person after all..."

"Tsk tsk tsk, so you're saying you'd let me go see...?"

"Goodbye!"

Watching Yang Qi's hurried departure, Shirai Ito narrowed his eyes.
