Chapter 373.1. All Sides Making Their Moves
This was where Huo Yuhao demonstrated his intelligence. His questions were very precise, and so he did not arouse his the woman’s suspicions.
After some haggling, Huo Yuhao was able to rent, at an exorbitant price, a cargo ship one hundred and fifty meters long, which could carry ten thousand kilograms worth of goods. This cargo ship was equipped with ten Class 3 soul cannons, manned by ten Class 3 soul engineers. It was not cheap. In total, Huo Yuhao had to pay out forty-five hundred gold soul coins.
Huo Yuhao paid one-third of the deposit up-front. He would load his goods after one week.
He put his receipt away and started to leave the Sun Moon Harbor Shipping Company with Nan Qiuqiu. A look of joy flashed in his eyes. His preparations were sound.
However, not long after he left the building, he was blocked by some men.
They were all muscular and rugged, and smelled of the ocean. They stood in a row, completely blocking the rather narrow street.
“What do you want?” Before Huo Yuhao could say anything, Nan Qiuqiu had already opened her mouth.
Among the four buff men, the leader smiled and said, “We don’t want much. We noticed that you’ve just rented a huge ship, and we think you’ll need some men to help you out. Hence, we’ve decided to offer you our services to help you transport these goods. How about it?”
While he seemed to be asking, his tone was off.
