Chapter 298: Big Trouble!
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Now that Banko could not even hide from the northern army, how would they dare to provoke them?
The most important thing was, why was the cargo ship’s equipment intercepted?
The cargo ship had all the necessary procedures. The shipping routes were all internationally recognized commercial routes, and the equipment transported was all commercial equipment.
There was no violation of any rules!
Not only that, the customs of Banko directly detained the cargo ship and equipment, completely ignoring the people Hugo sent over to negotiate.
They outright ignored the people sent over.
The corners of Braydon’s lips curled up into a faint smile.
Someone was targeting them!
He did not know if it was aimed at the Hugo Freighter Corporation or the Neal
Corporation.
Or perhaps, they were targeting the new factory.
Braydon’s thin lips moved slightly. “Sammy, get a hidden agent in Banko to find out who’s targeting the Neal Corporation!”
Braydon had only taken over the family business for two days.
Someone was giving him trouble!
Did they really think that this Northern King Braydon was a pushover?
Sammy took out a communication wristwatch and contacted Luther Carden in the north.
After all, Luther had full control of the hidden agents in the northern army.
Luther was in charge of every one of them.
Hugo’s eyes flashed. He did not expect someone to be targeting them.
At the same time.
The port of Banko was located on one of the thirty-six islands in Ludwig.
It was called Lume Island!
Lume Island is shaped like a pear, with its long axis running from northeast to southwest.
The island was 240 kilometers long and 210 kilometers wide, covering an area of 33,900 square kilometers.
It was the second largest island in the country back then!
Forty years ago, the entire Ludwig army died in battle, and the three foreign countries took over the thirty-six islands of Ludwig.
This incident had shocked the entire world.
The countries had been negotiating, but there had been no progress for decades.
There was no other way but to withdraw their forces!
Banko continued to migrate. As of today, the population of Lume Island was close to ten million people, all of whom were citizens of Banko.
Now, it had been developed into an internationally famous tourist island.
Every year, they earned a lot of benefits for Banko.
On Lume Island, they had built a port. The number of cargo ships entering and leaving every day ranged from hundreds to thousands. They had to pay customs duties to enter and leave.
The money ended up in Banko’s pockets.
Lume Island had belonged to Hansworth since ancient times!
The thirty-six islands of Ludwig were unified as part of Hansworth since 214
B.C.
The ancestral inheritance of their ancestors was now lost in the hands of the current generation.
A hundred years later, when their descendants die, how would they face their ancestors?
King Braydon was famous in Hansworth for his young appearance. The heroic men of the northern army were all proud and unyielding.
The thirty-six islands of Ludwig were the humiliation of Hansworth’s one billion people!
No other reason was needed!
All the descendants of Hansworth had the obligation to take back the Ludwig Islands.
Braydon was no exception. Before he was crowned, he had to take back these islands.
At the port of Lume Island, a cargo ship was docked.
The captain of one of the large blue cargo ships was a blonde foreigner. He was anxiously explaining something to the port staff.
However, the port staff sneered and refused to let the cargo ship pass.
At the port lounge.
A familiar face that Hugo met last night, Saad, was there. He had rought along Janson Saffron, the man with gold-rimmed glasses from Zulfiki Company. Through the window, they saw the captain who was sweating profusely from anxiety.
“Stupid Hugo Skeeter, this is what happens if you don’t cooperate with us!” Saad sneered.
Saruman Heavy Industry Corporation was a company from Banko.
Their cooperation with Hugo Freighter Corporation was canceled last night. Now, they were secretly trying to sabotage Hugo; it was equivalent to warning him.
He had no choice but to cooperate with them!
“Mr. Saad is so smart!” Janson said obsequiously.
“Of course, I’ve already informed the customs. They can detain this freighter for up to six months. At that time, Hugo and the others will definitely have to lower their heads and beg us!”
Saad was a treacherous person, and he was full of pride.
Braydon, who had a demonic mind, had a good guess.
The cargo ship and equipment were seized because someone was secretly targeting them!
However, the customs officer at the port was in his office, eating chocolate, enjoying the air-conditioning, and watching a comedy on his office computer. He could not stop laughing.
Until the landline phone in front of him began to ring.
The big-bellied person-in-charge quickly picked up the phone and said, “Hello?”
“Bastard, did you detain the Oceanic?”
The angry male voice pierced through the microphone, making one’s eardrums hurt.
The person-in-charge was shocked. “President! Let me think. Yes, yes.
According to the report from Saruman Corporation today, it’s said that the Oceanic is transporting smuggled goods, so we’ve detained it.”
“Dumb fool!”
The sullen male voice was so angry that his lungs were about to explode. The manager stood up in horror. “Sir!”
He could only listen obediently, completely unaware of what stupid thing he had done.
They did not know that this matter had already alarmed the higher-ups of
BanK0.
Because it concerned the northern army!
Just 15 minutes ago, they received a notice from the northern army that the port of Lume Island had detained a cargo ship that was transporting goods from the northern region.
Instantly, many people broke out in cold sweat!
Ever since the incident in Banko, they had watched the ruthless Blake Matthews of the northern army kill a War God at the entrance.
They already knew that the northern army was targeting Banko!
The Northern King was the one behind all of this.
This was creating friction!
He wanted the northern army to go south!
The higher-ups of Banko knew why the northern army was targeting them.
The northern army was the successor of the Ludwig army.
Back then, the three foreign countries led by Banko killed 700,000 elite troops of Ludwig and occupied the thirty-six islands of Ludwig.
The northern army was looking for an opportunity!
Once there was a reason to send troops, they would definitely sweep the thirty-six islands south.
At that time, what would Banko use to resist the northern army?
Their heads?
The eight countries outside the borders could not defeat the northern territory.
If the northern army went south, it would be the day Banko was destroyed!
Banko tried their best to avoid friction, but the stupid pigs below actually dared to detain the northern army’s cargo ship.
They were simply tired of living!
“President, what’s wrong with the Oceanic?” the person in charge of Lume Island asked in a trembling voice. “That’s the northern army’s cargo ship! ”
The angry male voice roared.
He was the direct superior of Lume Island’s customs, and the big shot of Banko had already spoken.
If the northern territory wanted them to be held accountable for this matter, he could only kill himself as an apology!
The big-bellied manager’s face was pale and colorless. He was stunned on the spot.
The Oceanic was the northern army’s cargo ship!
He was in big trouble!
The person-in-charge’s mind went blank, and only this thought remained.
The angry male voice said coldly, “Let the Oceanic pass through immediately. As for you, kill yourself as an apology. I will take good care of your wife and children for you!”
Her words were cold and emotionless.
In order to make amends to the northern territory, this superior chose to sacrifice his subordinate and make him kill himself as an apology.
The death of one person was an explanation!
