Chapter 402 The Silly Amber
Amber seemed still in shock from being rescued. Upon hearing Sue's praise, she instinctively nodded in thanks: "Thank you."
He's a bit goofy.
Su chuckled softly, then turned to Andy and said, "Take care of it and sail the ship back to Lanai Island."
Andy nodded, instructed the others to dispose of the bodies, clean the deck, and set sail back to port.
Su casually picked up a bottle of beer and handed it to Amber, who had clearly calmed down and come to her senses: "Want some?"
"Th-thank you..." Amber took the drink somewhat dazedly and awkwardly, then asked curiously, "How did you know I was here?"
Su chuckled lightly: "For some people, finding you is difficult! For me..."
"how?"
"Don't you already know?"
Amber smiled sheepishly, lowered her head, and drank her wine to hide her embarrassment.
The Su family has already found this place and rescued her. The answer is already there. Why ask what else? What answer are you asking for?
So stupid!
Amber had imagined her meeting with Sue many times, and not long ago she even thought about what she should say and do if she were rescued and saw Sue.
But when it actually happened, when she actually met Su, she realized that the scenarios and possibilities she had imagined were just her own imagination.
He wasn't honest at all; he acted incredibly stupidly!
Amber was somewhat anxious and insecure.
Will my impression of Su be negatively affected?
After all, although the Su family was partly responsible for his kidnapping, the root cause was his own carelessness.
This kind of kidnapping will definitely have a huge impact on the Su family!
He brought people to rescue me and killed those pirates. Putting aside other troubles, he must have spent a lot of money, right?
And then there's my own foolish behavior just now.
Will he hate himself?
Will he resign as the host for the second season?
In such a state of anxiety and uncertainty, Amber Heard, who was originally quite good at reading people and was eloquent, suddenly became somewhat lost.
She had to think through each sentence in her head several times to make sure it was appropriate and what the consequences would be.
That made her afraid to speak.
The more you say, the more mistakes you make.
The less you say, the fewer mistakes you make.
Not bad, right?
The logic is sound!
"A silent type? Or are you still upset about the kidnapping?"
Amber's 'silence' is really unlike someone who used to be so bold as to text and send photos to herself.
Why do you recommend yourself when you haven't met the person in person, but then become a silent gourd when you do?
Is this a case of having the desire to steal but not the courage?
Su smiled inwardly and didn't make things difficult for Amber. She offered a few words of comfort to calm her down before going to the cabin to find Andy.
Although the pirate ship was somewhat dilapidated, it was still in good working order. There was nothing special about the interior of the cabin; it was unrealistic to expect a luxurious ship from these fugitive pirates.
The Eternal Guardians did find a considerable amount of weapons and cash during their inventory, but the quantity was small, totaling less than a few hundred thousand, which was quite poor.
The Su family had no interest in the weapon or the small amount of money, and simply treated it as commission for the Eternal Guardians' operation, letting them handle it themselves.
The Su family didn't even want the pirate ship; they planned to have them dispose of it after returning to Lanai Island.
Speaking of which, this is a good opportunity to buy a few ships to enhance the firepower of the Immortal Guardians and the security forces on the island.
This will be another huge expense, so it's a good time to do some points-based lotteries.
Lanai Island, pier.
After docking, everyone disembarked, and the otter monster (from Grimm) who was in charge of the construction company on the dock came up to ask about the situation.
"Is there a place to rest?" Su asked.
“Yes, I’ll take you there.” The otter monster led the way while asking about the situation. He should already know about Amber’s kidnapping from Serena.
Now that Amber has been rescued, he is relieved.
Su gave them a brief introduction, especially about the Immortal Guardians, since they would be responsible for the island's security and would definitely need to get acquainted with the construction team.
As they walked from the dock, Mr. Su nodded in satisfaction, praising the construction team's progress.
The dock is magnificent and well-constructed.
Although Su didn't know much about the pier and didn't have any particular ideas about its style, the result shows that the pier's style still matches the island's character.
"This is our rest area. We'll rest here every night after the construction is finished. I prepared this especially for you, so that you or anyone else won't have nowhere to rest when you come here. Don't worry, no one has ever stayed here before."
The otter monster led Su and the others to a detached wooden cabin not far from the rest area. The cabin was relatively simple in its furnishings, but it had all the necessary basic facilities and was very clean.
"Where is the construction progress now?" Su asked casually after touring the site.
"The main focus is on the airport and its supporting facilities. If all goes well, it should be completed and put into use in about a month."
“I’ve contacted Serena, and we need to wait for their planning drawings before we can start other projects.”
After the otter finished speaking, Su nodded in satisfaction.
The otter monster is very good at building and is willing to spend money, so he is very satisfied with the speed and results of the infrastructure construction.
"Is there anything I can help you with?"
"There's nothing else, but once full-scale construction begins, we're afraid we won't have enough manpower for the construction team. If you allow me to hire more people and increase the construction budget, I'm confident I can shorten the construction period by half!"
Although he hadn't seen the planning map and didn't know the scale of construction, he still knew the principle that many hands make light work. What's more, he had recently met a group of very high-quality infrastructure workers who were said to be from the same country as the boss. Their infrastructure skills made Otter Monster, an old infrastructure fanatic, exclaim that it was a miracle!
“I don’t care about the money. Just finish the project as quickly as possible. I’m leaving this to you. I’ll allocate another sum of money later.”
Time or money?
Does the Su family even need to consider this?
“They’ll be staying on the island from now on. Arrange their accommodations. Oh, and make sure Andy’s room is ready.” Su patted Andy on the shoulder and said with a smile, “Tell him if you have any requests.”
The discrimination was rather obvious. The immortality guardian winked at Andy, who accepted it calmly.
She had originally planned to become one of the Su family's own people.
"Ring ring ring..." The phone rang for Su's family; it was Serena calling.
After the call connected, Serena's voice came through: "I'm almost at Lanai Island. How are things on your end? Have you found Amber yet?"
"They've been rescued, and we're on the island."
"Great, wait for me, I'll be there soon." Serena breathed a sigh of relief.
Chapter 403 Compensation? Creating a scandal?
About half an hour later, Serena, Lisa Trinity, and Olivia arrived at Lanai Island in a private small plane.
There's a reason why the three of them came. Serena goes without saying, she's the head of the production team, so she definitely had to come; Lisa is essentially the head manager of the Su family, and no project involving money can bypass her.
As for Olivia, firstly, they happen to be together, and secondly, Olivia has considerable combat skills and is also a medical ninja. Whether it's rescuing someone from kidnappers or dealing with Amber's injury, she can be of use.
Upon meeting, Serena immediately hugged Amber and asked her questions with concern.
Although Serena is several years younger than Amber, Serena has definitely cultivated a stronger presence.
In comparison, Serena's strong, businesswoman-like aura stands out.
Su briefly explained the situation to them and introduced Andy, the Immortal Guardian, to them.
They knew each other in a certain online forum and were both from the Su family, so they weren't too awkward when they met and quickly became acquainted after a few words.
Andy's personality and temperament are certainly not like a little girl's, but she is not cold or aloof when interacting with others.
Serena chatted with Amber, Lisa talked to Andy about security, and Olivia came up to Sue and gave her a big hug with a smile: "Long time no see!"
"It hasn't been long, has it?" Su replied with a smile. "You've come at the right time. I have a few ninjutsu techniques to teach you."
"Finally remembered me? I was the first person you met, but you've become fickle. Whether it's relationships or ninjutsu, new people are flocking to you. If you still can't remember me, I'll start to doubt whether I really have no charm at all."
What could Su say in the face of Olivia's complaints?
He could only pull her a little further away and then teach her several ninjutsu techniques all at once.
Chakra scalpel;
Techniques for extracting small ailments;
These are the two additional medical ninjutsu techniques that the Su family has developed.
Substitution technique;
Transformation technique;
Two types of Three-Body Techniques.
Gone.
These ninjutsu techniques are enough for Olivia to study for a while, and her strength will increase significantly as a result.
The Chakra Scalpel, in particular, is remarkably effective whether used for attack or treatment.
In addition, Su gave Olivia 30 Chakra Pills. Although he would post some tasks on a certain platform every day, and Olivia had ways to obtain Chakra Pills, these were two different things.
