Chapter 370: Molten Iron City
As the Tomato approached the dock, Su Ming saw many people coming up to greet it. Those people were wearing leather aprons, and they looked exactly like Su Ming's impression of a blacksmith. They were energetic, with bright eyes, and there was no fear of the Tomato on their faces.
"them……"
"I know you are their old customers." Su Ming interrupted Sun Yihao.
Sun Yihao closed his mouth and nodded slightly. During this journey, Su Ming had interrupted him dozens of times and said what he wanted to say.
Sun Yihao admired Su Ming very much. He had never seen anyone with such observation skills as Su Ming. His brothers and sisters didn't have them, his father didn't have them, and even his mother, the daughter of a noble family, didn't have such keen insight as Su Ming.
Su Ming is a smart man, and it is always pleasant to cooperate with smart people. Although Su Ming is a fugitive now, perhaps he will be able to clear the possible false charges in the future.
Moreover, Sun Yihao believed that even if Su Ming had to bear that crime forever, he should still have a place to stand in this world, after all, there were people like his father.
"Let's get off the boat. We just happen to stay here for a while to replenish some supplies. I'll take you around this place. You'll be living here for a long time, right?" Sun Yihao said.
Su Ming nodded. He could feel that Sun Yihao admired him very much and seemed to want to do something with him.
Su Ming did not intend to reveal this. Although cooperating with the sky pirates sounded unrighteous, in such a situation, any extra strength to rely on would be very helpful for his future.
What's more, Su Ming noticed that Sun Yihao didn't seem to be keen on being a pirate. In Su Ming's intuition, Sun Yihao's temperament was more like a profiteer than a pirate, and Su Ming didn't mind cooperating with a shrewd and capable profiteer.
"Of course, you should pay as well. The money you will have to pay next is not a small amount."
"No problem, I'll transfer the money to your father right away." Su Ming replied to the other party in a nonchalant tone, took out his mobile phone, transferred the balance of tens of millions, and of course paid off the salary of the Holland.
Under Su Ming's financial offensive, everyone on the Tomato Pirate Ship is now very polite to Su Ming, and the crew members of the Holland have also greatly changed their impression of Su Ming. Although Su Ming did not hear anything directly from them, Long Haisheng said that everyone felt that he was wronged and that someone was greedy for his money.
The power of money made Su Ming feel suffocated. For the first time, he felt that human emotions were so fragile. Humans always think that they are the masters of their emotions, but in fact, emotions are only a by-product of interests, and benefits are the masters of emotions.
Whenever he thought of this, Su Ming's heart was always filled with infinite longing for Xia Xiaoyu. Xia Xiaoyu was different from ordinary people. Xia Xiaoyu would not easily change her opinion of him for the sake of money. Compared with these crew members who had not been tested by wealth, Xia Xiaoyu's true feelings were warmer.
Ah, speaking of Xia Xiaoyu’s warmth, I was a little scared before, but after just a few days I started to miss her... I really miss her.
Su Ming was filled with emotion.
Now that I have landed in the Molten Iron City and the network signals are all open, I should find a chance to contact Xia Xiaoyu later, Su Ming thought.
On the first day Su Ming arrived at the Molten Iron City, Sun Yihao took Su Ming to tour the entire island. The island was divided into three areas: the royal city area, the noble area, and the civilian area. The last civilian area was further divided into rich area, civilian area, and poor area according to the people living there.
Simply put, not under the control of the Alliance, this island is a complete monarchy, and there is a religious atmosphere everywhere on the island.
"You don't have to think about entering the Noble District and the Royal City District, but with so much money, it should be easy for you to live in the rich area, as long as your wanted identity is not known to others." Sun Yihao said, "If you want to leave here and go somewhere else in the future, you can contact us at any time... as long as you can still afford that price."
"You won't be a pirate forever, right? Now that you've gotten so much money, what do you want to do?" Su Ming asked back.
Sun Yihao paused, turned around and looked at Su Ming in surprise. Su Ming tilted his head and stared at a statue on the wall of the blacksmith shop next to him, looking like he was doing nothing.
"How do you know I won't always be a sky pirate?"
"By feeling."
"You... forget it." Sun Yihao shook his head.
"I am an incredible person, right?" Su Ming asked.
"Hmph, just a self-righteous person." Sun Yihao laughed.
…
The Tomato crew left the island after only a few days, but the Holland crew stayed longer because they wanted to purchase goods from the island, as they had made a lot of money and wanted to try new high-end goods.
Su Ming, who planned to settle down on this island, spent a lot of money to buy a manor in the wealthy area of the civilian area, just as Sun Yihao said.
The price of this manor is not only high, but also very large. For most wealthy people, paying so much money at one time is a big deal that needs to be carefully considered.
In addition, the previous owner of this manor was a nobleman with a wealthy family, so the manor is very large. For a small rich man who can only live in a civilian area, such a huge manor is a bit too exaggerated. If he buys it, he must spend more money to hire someone to take care of it, so this manor has not been sold for a long time.
After considering many factors, Su Ming finally spent a huge amount of money to buy the manor.
In addition, Su Ming also found professionals on the island to help him forge his identity. Although his appearance has not changed much, if someone is not determined to hunt him down, even if they see him with their own eyes, they will believe that he is a young wealthy man who has recently settled in the Molten Iron City in the face of a lot of evidence.
The purchase of this manor cost Su Ming a total of 1.5 billion yuan, including all other expenses. If Xia Xiaoyu was unable to leave Dongyang Island, she would not have been able to gather this money easily. But now that Xia Xiaoyu has recovered her memory and become a free person, as long as she can leave Dongyang Island, money is really just a number to her.
Xia Xiaoyu left Dongyang Island a few days ago and was heading towards the Molten Iron City. He was expected to arrive within half a month.
At the moment, what Su Ming is most worried about is not himself, but Flora.
Xia Xiaoyu said that after the last incident, Flora was arrested and taken back to the Investigation Bureau. However, since Xia Xiaoyu could not be caught by the Mysterious Eye again, she had to give up her plan to escape with Flora again.
If Flora was a free person, then Xia Xiaoyu could bring Flora to the Molten Iron City.
But Flora is not a free person. Her range of movement is always limited to those dozen islands. Hiding in such a narrow range, Xia Xiaoyu is not confident that she will not be discovered by the organization.
So... there is no way for now.
But with the master and the minister around, Su Ming felt that there shouldn't be any major problems in the short term.
