Ancestral Wealth Inheritance System-Chapter 429: Peacekeeping Ambassador Fang Jueyu
(Chapter ends here, jumping directly to Chapter 436 doesn’t affect much)
"Wow! Is this the pirate’s treasure vault? It’s literally a mountain of treasure!"
"Is this the cave from Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves? My God, how many ships did they have to rob to accumulate so much stuff?"
"To be honest, I’m a bit scared myself!" Fang Jueyu stared at this mountain of treasure, somewhat dumbfounded.
He had always thought that crates of gold could only appear in stories, but he never expected there to be literally mountains of golden gemstones here!
In addition, there were antiques, paintings, fine wines, anything of value, in abundance, and a large number of unopened military weapons, making them suspect that Hanuma had hijacked a munitions ship.
"These things were accumulated over nearly 120 years," Xiao Yi explained, "Like dynasties, pirates too need replacements. Whenever a pirate gets caught, new ones replace them, carrying on with the treasures accumulated. So, these things just keep piling up over time, like a legacy passed down through generations."
"Help me estimate how much all of this is worth."
"There are over 12,000 tons of gold here, valued at about USD 600 billion, over 140,000 antiques valued at about USD 450 billion, and a large collection of diamonds and other gemstones worth around USD 240 billion, totaling close to USD 2 trillion!"
"Damn, this is so rich!" Fang Jueyu gasped when he heard the numbers. He knew pirates were wealthy, but he didn’t expect this level of wealth.
12,000 tons of gold and thousands of antiques—it’s a Herculean task just to transport it. This might be the largest existing pirate warehouse in the world.
"Why are they still robbing when they have so much money? This stuff could last them several lifetimes!"
"Host, these pirates have long been unable to integrate into any society, and these are all stolen goods. It’s too difficult to sell these off, so even they can only sell a bit at a time. Once in this line of work, there’s no way out."
"Well, since I stumbled upon it, it’s my gain!" Fang Jueyu waved his hand, and the mountain of treasures vanished into thin air.
"Hey? Where did the stuff go? Magic?" Shao Zhou and others were dumbfounded by this magical scene.
"This is called high-tech, uh... it’s like Doraemon’s space pocket!" Fang Jueyu explained, "Today, we’ll all share a piece of the pie, and when we return, we’ll divide it up."
"Come on, it’s your loot; we won’t take it. We already took some of your diamonds. Consider that our share."
"Exactly, if I had so much treasure at home, I probably couldn’t sleep at night out of fear of being robbed or kidnapped. Better not."
"Well, in that case, I’ll give you some company shares as repayment. How about that? If you don’t even accept this, you’re disrespecting me!" Fang Jueyu said seriously.
"Fine, fine, do whatever you see fit. I just want to leave this damned place!"
"Yeah, I haven’t even had enough sleep yet!"
"Alright, guys, let’s go onboard and get some sleep. It’ll still take a few hours to reach the South African coast, so we can comfort our tender hearts with a nap!"
"Okay, let’s head back first. When we reach the shore, you can all go eat. I’ll hand Hanuma over to the South African police!"
...
"Somali pirate leader Hanuma, who had been on the run for five years, was recently captured in South Africa. His pirate crew was found in the waters near the ’South African Cage.’ After a siege, over 13,000 pirates were captured, marking the largest victory in maritime siege history!"
"Sources say the biggest contribution to this capture was made by the youngest Vice Admiral of Huaxia, General Fang Jueyu!"
It had only been two days, and this news was completely publicized!
When Fang Jueyu handed Hanuma over to South Africa, they immediately sent troops to surround that sea area. The pirates, having lost their ships to Fang Jueyu, had no way to escape. Even if they swam, the distance to the shore was so far that they’d likely be exhausted halfway.
Unfortunately, they didn’t find the pirates’ treasure. Perhaps the treasure vault wasn’t located there, and a recent treasure-hunting craze swept over South Africa, making it unexpectedly lively.
For his merits in capturing Hanuma alive, the federation even awarded Fang Jueyu a Peacekeeping Ambassador medal through the South African government.
This news spread to Huaxia and instantly became the hottest topic.
Fang Jueyu, who had kept a low profile for months, suddenly did something earth-shattering again, eliminating a pirate nest and capturing a pirate leader alive?
"From today on, the legend of the Dean will probably spread across Africa!"
"Can anyone explain how the Dean, on a yacht, managed to capture a pirate leader from over 10,000 armed pirates?" ƒreewebηoveℓ.com
"The question above is beyond the syllabus, next one!"
"Expect the Dean’s Weibo verification to get an additional title, @Weibo Staff, work overtime!"
"Did you notice South Africa said they didn’t find the pirate treasure? I have a bold idea…"
"Hey, you’re gone! How dare you say that?"
"Hahaha, I finally understand why the Dean is so rich; their family might have been robbing bandits and pirates for generations, accumulating unimaginable wealth."
"@Dean, isn’t it time to give out big red packets today? Like a crate of gold or something."
"The guy above is daydreaming!"
...
Just as the topic was exploding domestically, Fang Jueyu and the others just finished a week-long trip, and everyone returned fulfilled.
They’d experienced the mundane and the thrilling, making it an unforgettable journey with rich rewards, perhaps creating beautiful and everlasting memories.
The plane landed at Jiangnan City’s airport, and a group of sun-tanned young people got off, cheerily waving goodbye to the Victoria’s Secret models.
"Nothing beats the air of our motherland!" Wang Chao took a deep breath, "Too bad, we have to go back to work tomorrow."
"Work, my ass! The pirate fortune amounts to about USD 2 trillion. We’ve agreed everyone gets a share. Although I did the work, you deserve a portion too. Since you don’t want cash, I’ve transferred the ownership of your companies to you."
"What?" The sudden joy left them a bit bewildered.
"Your companies are probably worth only a few billion each, which still means I got the better deal."
"That’s more than enough. If you give us such big companies, we wouldn’t know how to manage them!" Shao Zhou waved it off.
"Wow, am I a boss now too? Screw work! I’ll just go home and sleep!"
"Wait, how can you just be freeloaders (that’s what I want too)?" Zhang Meng said, "I’ve decided to continue working as a medical professional at the hospital!"
"Zhang Meng, you sly one, are you planning to play the pig to eat the tiger in the future? I see through you!"
"Wang Chao! Who are you calling sly?"
