Chapter 469 - 468: Bribing with Money
After squatting in the container for three days, Yusuf Zuck couldn’t stand it anymore. The smell inside, from eating, drinking, and all bodily functions confined to a single box, was giving him a headache.
Apparently, Luciano and Alfredo Meskill had stronger willpower than he did. Having done time before, they were accustomed to this kind of suffering.
On the third night, Yusuf Zuck opened the container and jumped out.
Luciano and Alfredo Meskill also jumped out, with Alfredo Meskill clutching a dagger, which Old Xu had given him for self-defense when they boarded the ship.
"We can’t hurt anyone, everyone on this ship is Chinese," Yusuf Zuck glared at Alfredo Meskill and added, "Besides, we’re using someone else’s ship, so we should be grateful. I’ll go and talk to them." Yusuf Zuck had a bag with him containing US dollars, renminbi, and Hong Kong dollars—over a million in total.
Moreover, he had already familiarized himself with the layout and personnel of the ship through telekinesis during these three days. Aside from the captain, there was a steward, who was also a tire merchant. As long as he could communicate well with these two people, they wouldn’t have to stay hidden in the container anymore.
Yusuf Zuck straightened his clothes and, holding the bag, headed towards the steward’s room.
Since it was night, everyone else was resting. Yusuf Zuck made his way to the door of the steward’s room without anyone noticing.
"Knock, knock, knock." Yusuf Zuck knocked on the door politely. The steward, who had already gone to bed, suddenly sat up.
"Who’s there?" asked the steward, puzzled.
