After reaching an agreement with Horn, Ye Xuan left the Adventure and looked up at the sky, night had already fallen, so he didn't stay on the dock for long, and directly called a car back to the Grand Time Hotel.

After getting out of the car and walking into the hotel, the waiter at the front desk suddenly stopped him, "Mr. Ye, that gentleman over there has been waiting for you for an afternoon." ”

Following the direction of the front desk attendant's outstretched finger, Ye Xuan looked over, but saw a middle-aged white man with slightly curly hair and a medium figure sitting in the rest area of the hotel lobby.

"Okay, I see, thank you!" Ye Xuan thanked him, turned around and walked towards the middle-aged white man.

The middle-aged white man saw Ye Xuan coming over, stood up and tidied up his clothes, with a smile on his face, stretched out his hand and said, "Hello, sir, I am the director and producer of the Sauermann United Company. Danham, you can call me Carl! Are you Mr. Ye from Huaxia? ”

"Yes, hello, Mr. Karl, may I ask what you are looking for?" Hearing Carl's name, Ye Xuan knew who Carl was, he was the ambitious filmmaker in this movie, if it weren't for his ambition, he wouldn't have died so many people, and King Kong wouldn't have been arrested and died in the Empire State Building.

"That's the case, Mr. Ye, I heard others say that you seem to be looking for a mysterious chart?" Karl stared at Ye Xuan tightly, his eyes full of greed.

"Yes, that's right." Ye Xuan nodded.

"Oh, that's great, I just got a nautical chart recently, it may be the one Mr. Ye you need, I wonder if Mr. Ye wants to see it?" Karl said a little nervously.

"yes, I wonder where Mr. Carl's charts are?" Carl had the chart in his hand, which Ye Xuan had known for a long time, so he didn't express surprise. He looked at Karl Dao lightly.

"Uh...... Mr. Ye, it doesn't seem to be convenient here, do you think we should talk about it in another place? Carl looked at the people coming and going in the hotel, and his eyes flashed.

Seeing that Carl was a little nervous, Ye Xuan smiled slightly, "I'm sorry, I didn't think about it thoughtfully, so let's do it, there's a café next to it, let's go there!" ”

"Okay!" Took a look at the café on the partition. Perhaps it was the somewhat closed environment that made him feel relieved, and nodded in agreement.

Seeing that Carl agreed, Ye Xuan took Carl into the café, the two found a booth and sat down, and after ordering a cup of coffee respectively, then continued the topic just now, Carl couldn't help but speak: "Mr. Ye, I heard others say that you said that you would pay a million dollars to buy this chart, right?" ”

"Yes, but I'm going to make sure that chart in Mr. Carr's hand is the one I need. Otherwise, I'm sorry. Ye Xuan took a sip of coffee.

"Of course, Mr. Ye, please take a look. This is the chart that I spent a lot of effort to buy, and it shows a mysterious island that doesn't even exist on the current chart, the only evidence that exists, a place known only in mythology. Carl said. He pulled out an old chart from his trouser pocket that seemed to be made of kraft paper and handed it over.

Ye Xuan stretched out his hand and took the chart in Carl's hand, the drawing of the chart had turned yellow, about the size of an A4 paper. There are ink pens on both sides of the front and back with countless coordinates, islands, etc., and finally the general direction of the skull island is clearly marked, about one or two hundred nautical miles west of Sumatra.

Looking up at Carl, who was looking at him expectantly, Ye Xuan put down the map and said with a smile: "Mr. Carl, congratulations, this is the chart I am looking for, I wonder if you intend to sell it to me?" ”

"Yes, sir, I do want to sell it to you." Karl said with greed in his eyes.

"Alright, come back to your room with me, and I'll give you the million dollars you deserve." As he spoke, Ye Xuan was about to get up.

"No, no, no, Mr. Ye, you wait!" Seeing Ye Xuan get up, Carl suddenly got up and stretched out his hands to ask Ye Xuan to wait, and said, "I want to sell the chart to you, but I have one more condition." ”

"Conditions?" The corners of Ye Xuan's mouth raised slightly, glanced at Carl, and said with a slightly sarcastic smile: "Mr. Carl, it's not a good thing to be too greedy. ”

"No, Mr. Ye, please listen to me, my conditions are not unfavorable to you, my conditions are very simple, I will sell the charts to you, but if you go to sea, I hope you can take me, you know, I am a filmmaker, I hope to present this island that has not appeared in the charts to everyone in the cinema, and it will definitely cause a sensation in the world at that time, and I will definitely become famous!" Carl waved his hand and looked at Ye Xuandao with a fanatical expression.

It's a pity that his fanaticism can't infect Ye Xuan, looking at Carl with a fanatical face, Ye Xuan shook his head and said, "Mr. Carl, I don't need to be famous, I just need you to sell me the chart, and then it has nothing to do with this chart, that's it." ”

"No, Mr. Ye, please don't be like this, please understand the ideal of a filmmaker, help me!" Karl pleaded.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Karl, but it looks like this is the end of our deal." Seeing that Carl had been insisting on letting him take him out to sea, Ye Xuan shook his head lightly, raised his feet and was about to leave.

"Wait, Mr. Ye, please wait a minute, 900,000 US dollars, you only need to give me 900,000 US dollars, and let me go to Skull Island with you."

Ye Xuan paused, shook his head, and continued to walk towards the outside of the café.

"$850,000 ......"

"$800,000 ......"

"$700,000 ......"

"$600,000 ......"

"$500,000 ......"

"Mr. Karl!" When he was about to leave the door of the café, Ye Xuan suddenly stopped, turned his head to look at Carl, and said lightly: "Don't you understand, since I am willing to spend a million dollars to buy this chart, I just want me to go on an expedition by myself, and I don't care about the extra million dollars, one million dollars is nothing to me, do you understand?" ”

Belch? Hearing Ye Xuan's words, Carl's mouth stammered, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

"Alright, goodbye, Mr. Karl!" Ye Xuan smiled slightly, opened the café and walked towards the elevator of the hotel.

Seeing Ye Xuan walk out, Carl suddenly opened the door and ran out, shouting towards Ye Xuan's back: "Mr. Ye, you will regret it." ”

Hearing the words from Carl's back, Ye Xuan didn't even stop his feet and walked into the elevator by himself. (To be continued......)
