"Hahaha, Min! What a surprise to see you here! Tchaikov boarded the K87 drilling platform and saw Mr. Min with a helpless face, and opened his arms to give Mr. Min a big hug.

Mr. Min took a step back and rejected Tchaikov's false enthusiasm, but Tchaikov was not embarrassed and asked the platform director: "Is my banquet ready?" ”

The specifications of Tchaikov's banquet for Mr. Min are not low at all for people floating on the ocean, caviar, vodka, red wine, turkey, ham, and fresh vegetables and fruits, but such a high-standard treatment makes Mr. Min feel like a Hongmen banquet.

"Cheers to our friendship!" Tchaikov ignored Mr. Min's embarrassment and filled his glass with vodka.

Mr. Min just politely raised his red wine glass, and Tchaikov didn't mind, and he and Pandy drank the vodka in one gulp.

"Well, Min, how are you going to go about finding the precious narwhal?" Tchaikov said jokingly.

Mr. Min didn't think there was any need to detour around the bend: "Dick is looking for the treasure of the Knights Templar of the Poseidon. ”

"Templar treasure." Tchaikov feigned surprise.

"Aren't you?" Mr. Min asked rhetorically, Tchaikov was knowingly asking.

"Min, I admire you, unlike Dick's Loulan scum, you really like Loulan......" Tchaikov smiled, "However, as the heir of Loulan, I don't think that scepter should be turned into someone else's collection." ”

"And what are you going to do with me?" Mr. Min asked straight to the point.

"Relax! Min, we're old friends too, and I, Tchaikov, won't do anything to old friends. Tchaikov poured himself another glass of vodka, "Since it's on the high seas, then ...... Fair play is the best way, borderland, first served. ”

Tchaikov's words reassured Mr. Min a little, but he was still wary, who knows if Tchaikov would secretly obstruct himself? After all, now he is on his turf.

"I want to know, how did you who are looking for the Poseidon end up in the Devil's Passage?" Tchaikov asked.

Mr. Min smiled: "Shouldn't you know all this?" ”

"Hah! Min, you know, one of the things I appreciate most about you is that you know what you can and can't say, you're a businessman like Dick, well, but it's not the same, and I've always thought that you're smarter than Dick. Tchaikov laughed.

Of course, Mr. Min heard what Tchaikov said, he wanted to divide his relationship with Dick, but Tchaikov seemed to forget that he and Dick had a foundation of cooperation for many years, and it was precisely because of the cooperation with Dick that Mr. Min would have his current status and the opportunity to unlock the secret of Loulan, and Tchaikov would not provide this opportunity.

"That's the best compliment I've ever heard today." Mr. Min raised his glass to Tchaikov and asked, "So, when can we start playing fair?" ”

"You can leave at any time after you've finished eating." Tchaikov laughed and said that it was more fun to play with a competitor, and that Tchaikov felt that he had won the scepter almost 100 percent.

Mr. Min wiped his mouth with a napkin, put the wine glass aside, set his knife and fork away, stood up, and bowed slightly to Tchaikov and Pandey: "Thank you for your hospitality, I have already eaten." ”

Tchaikov looked at the dishes on the table that had not been touched at all, Mr. Min was in a hurry to leave, Tchaikov smiled: "The Holy Maiden is now lost, Min, are you in a hurry to come to the rescue?" ”

"Oh, I forgot to tell you, the Holy Maiden repaired the communication an hour ago, and they are still floating on the sea, thanks to Chen Badai's luck, we have nothing to lose." Mr. Min felt that a small counterattack should be given to the proud Tchaikov.

Tchaikov's smile froze for a moment, but then reopened: "Aha, that's really congratulations, the Undead Scepter will be available soon." ”

"I think so too." Mr. Min put the chair back in its place, "Well, it's time for me to go." ”

"Min, have you ever thought that Loulan's secret is always a secret, maybe the best result." Tchaikov asked suddenly.

"This ......," said Mr. Min, who did not know how to answer, thought for a moment, "but he is a unique treasure after all, shouldn't he be shown to the world?" ”

"Min, are you here to make money, or are you curious, and let you pursue Loulan's secret for 20 years?" Tchaikov asked again.

Mr. Min smiled, he felt that no matter how he explained, Tchaikov would not believe it, he nodded politely and took his leave.

"Tchaikov, you just let him go?" Pandey, who had not interjected on the side, was a little anxious when he saw Mr. Min leaving.

In Pandy's opinion, it is the best way for Tchaikov to detain the Black Diamond Prince here, it is too easy to detain Mr. Min's ship, just find any excuse, even if Mr. Min wants to appeal, and wait for the coast guard to deal with it and release it, it will be at least a week later, at this time, the Princess Sirapel has already rushed to the Devil's Passage to start salvage, and Pandy is a little puzzled why Tchaikov would let go of such a good opportunity.

Tchaikov saw through Pandy's doubts, now that there are no outsiders, there is no need to drink with a wine glass, Tchaikov directly poured a large sip of wine into his neck with a wine bottle, and said: "Pandy, fair, fair!" ”

"I would like to know if he would give you a fair share if they had such a chance?" Pandey asked.

"Well, I admit, maybe I owe Dick something for some of the things of my ancestors." Tchaikov spread his hands, "But what can this be? Dick is just a dying playboy who is holding on to the last straw to survive, Pandey, we have to give people a little hope of life. ”

"Tchaikov, I just hope that the kindness in your heart is not used in the wrong place." Pandey felt that if the issue continued to be discussed, it would not be fruitful.

"Haha, Pandey, one day you'll understand that kindness pays off." Tchaikov laughed.

"Okay, but I prefer to believe that kindness is bullied, and in return, well, that is achieved with strength."

"In that case, what are we afraid of?" Tchaikov laughed, "Are you afraid that Dick has more strength than me?" His literary empire was in jeopardy. ”

"No, I'm just worried that some unnecessary kindness will weaken your strength." Pandey replied.

"Actually, I admire Min, and if the scepter doesn't fall into my hands, I'd rather it fall into Min's hands than Dick's."

Pandy thought about it, maybe Tchaikov's consideration was also right, if Dick got the scepter, it would soon be transferred to another person, and Min's obsession with Loulan's secret would allow it to be properly kept.

"And I'm sure Chen Badai will guide us to the scepter, and although I don't like him very much, his luck is indeed good." Tchaikov laughed.

"Okay, let's be hyenas in peace and let the leopards go find us food." Pandey felt that although this method was not very good, it was also the most realistic.

Wang Xingguo, Sherpa and Xia Ruobing did not leave the Princess, they felt that meeting Mr. Min at this time would be somewhat embarrassing for both parties, but Tchaikov had a different idea - if Chen Badai found the Poseidon and suddenly found that Wang Xingguo and others were also here, would they be surprised?

Well, maybe it's a scare! But that's what Tchaikov wanted to see.

"Dididi......" Tchaikov's satellite phone rang, and Tchaikov saw that it was the third officer of the Saint-Maiden, and he answered the phone.

"Thank God we made it through." There was still palpitation in the tone of the third officer.

"Oh, you survived!" It seemed that Mr. Min was not lying just now, and Tchaikov asked, "Is the situation okay?" ”

"It's not too good, a lot of supplies have been washed away, and there is not much equipment left, but the ship can still move, and the most amazing thing is that poor Yayo fell asleep alone in the cabin, and when we were done, he was not injured in the storm!" The third mate said in an incredulous tone.

"Okay, then...... What's next for him? Tchaikov didn't quite want to listen to the nagging of the third mate and asked.

"Hmm...... According to the first mate, Chen Badai planned to enter the Devil's Passage and look for a shipwreck, which is said to have been around for hundreds of years. ”

"The Poseidon 700 years ago." Tchaikov corrected.

"Who cares, anyway, it's time to leave now, the crew says he's crazy, but the captain is listening to him." The third mate was a little worried.

The eyes and ears are still very useful, and Tchaikov knows a lot of information from the mouths of the three pairs, which makes him feel even more that the victory is in his hands, and he asks: "How is the situation of the poor eight generations?" ”

"I just inquired with the doctor, and the doctor said that he was mentally stressed and caused some abnormal behavior...... I think he's a madman......" replied the third officer.

"Hah...... Many of the madmen are geniuses. Tchaikov's words were more like a consolation triple.

After the third mate finished reporting the situation, Pandey stood by the window and saw that the Black Diamond Prince had lifted anchor, sounded the whistle, and was ready to leave.

"Tchaikov, Min has left." Pandey reminded.

"It's a waste of so much food." Tchaikov was not in a hurry at all, sat down and cut the turkey leg with a knife, then put the chicken in his mouth with a fork, and chewed carefully: "Pandey, it seems that these oil workers are too good at enjoyment, should I reduce the cost of food?" ”

When Tchaikov slowly feasted and returned to the Princess Sirapel, Mr. Min's ship was long gone, but Tchaikov was very confident in Princess Sirapel, and on the high seas, no ship could be faster except warships and speedboats.

Captain Roger gave the order to lift the anchor, reversed, exited the berth, set the course, and the two powerful diesel engines began to roar with maximum power, allowing the Princess to easily reach a speed of 25 knots on the sea.

Tchaikov looked at his watch, and if he didn't guess wrong, in about three hours or so, the Princess would catch up with Mr. Min.

The Black Diamond Prince rode the wind and waves on the sea at a speed of 18 knots, and Mr. Min stood on the deck and thought, after 20 years of pursuit, the time to return is finally coming.

If there is nothing wrong in the information he has painstakingly collected over the years, then that scepter will be the object of supreme power in the Loulan royal family. 20 years ago, Mr. Min was chasing the treasure of the Loulan royal family, and the entire expedition team fell into a crisis, except for himself, no one else was spared, and there was a lover he once thought would go through his life.
