"Although they are all backward ships, military vessels are definitely not something our civilian transport ships can contend with!"
"The reason the pirates didn't plunder our supplies this time is most likely because our actions deterred them!"
"However, this deterrence is ultimately only temporary!"
"Once the pirate gangs calm down, everything could change fundamentally!"
"Hmm, indeed, we can't be too optimistic right now!"
Liu Kai Xuan nodded in agreement, "If only we could find a way to capture the entire pirate gang in one fell swoop!"
Ouyang Yu, who had been silent for a long time, spoke again.
"Boss, we can try the same trick again!"
"Let Rem go on a rampage on Hero Island again and just kill all the pirates!"
Liu Kai Xuan shook his head and sighed, "That's definitely not possible!"
"The personnel composition on Hero Island is too complicated!"
"While the vast majority are pirates, there are also some people who are not pirates!"
Ouyang Yu retorted, "Even if they aren't pirates, they are all people connected to pirates!"
"What decent person would go to a place like that!"
Liu Kai Xuan replied with a wry smile, "Xiao Yu, what you're saying is useless!"
"In this society, public opinion is still quite formidable!"
"Last time, Rem killed over twenty pirates, and major media outlets severely criticized her!"
"Not to mention, there are many women and children on Hero Island!"
"If we were to annihilate them all, how we would handle these people would also be a problem!"
"Pirates can kill innocent people indiscriminately, but we certainly cannot!"
"Unless, we also transform ourselves into pirates!"
Ouyang Yu explained, "Boss, I understand the situation you're worried about!"
"But if we don't adopt some decisive measures, we won't be able to deter those pirates!"
Liu Kai Xuan said solemnly, "We need to plan this matter carefully!"
"For now, let's focus on finding ways to improve our own strength as much as possible!"
Currently, Liu Kai Xuan's strength is actually already quite formidable.
Rem alone could sweep Hero Island.
However, in sea battles, the true core of combat power lies in naval military strength.
No matter how powerful Rem is, when faced with a large-scale pirate fleet, she would still find it difficult to control the situation.
To completely strip the pirate forces of their ability to commit evil, their naval fleet strength must be targeted.
Going to Hero Island to wreak havoc would only be a superficial solution.
"By the way, Xiao Yu!"
Speaking of this, Liu Kai Xuan suddenly remembered something important.
"In the recent period, send out a group of people to infiltrate Hero Island and gather useful intelligence!"
"Figure out the internal structure and personnel composition of the pirate gangs!"
"If necessary, we can try to divide them from within!"
"Alright boss, I'll handle this perfectly for you!"
"Oh, and!"
Liu Kai Xuan specifically reminded, "You yourself must absolutely not risk going to a place like Hero Island!"
"If anything were to happen, I wouldn't be able to explain it to your sister!"
Ouyang Yu nodded in agreement, "Boss, what are you thinking?"
"I'm not as foolish as you think. I'm the general manager of Kai Xuan Mining. Which of the pirates on Hero Island doesn't recognize me?"
"If I go there now, wouldn't I be walking right into their trap!"
"My business development has just entered its prime, and I don't want to throw my life away so quickly!"
"Hahaha, well said!" Liu Kai Xuan couldn't help but praise him by giving him a thumbs up.
"To achieve great things, one must have perseverance, courage, and fortitude!"
"Xiao Yu, your growth rate over the past year has been too fast!"
"I'm starting to feel happy for you now!"
"Enough of that!"
Ouyang Yu rolled her eyes at Liu Kai Xuan and said, "Boss, Qinglong and I haven't seen each other for a long time."
"Since you and Sister Fei Yan are here, I'd like to request a week of leave to go to Huolan City to see Qinglong!"
"Of course!"
Liu Kai Xuan readily agreed with a grand gesture, "That's a great thing!"
"How about this, Xiao Yu, I'll approve two weeks of leave for you!"
"You two lovebirds go and relax there for a while!"
"If you need more time, just give me a call!"
"It's not as exaggerated as you think!"
Ouyang Yu said grumpily, "A week is enough!"
"Normally, Chen Qinglong should be the one visiting me!"
"Me personally going to visit him is already giving him a lot of face, and you're talking about two weeks..."
"Even if we were to spend two weeks together, he should be the one to come and visit me!"
"Alright, alright, I'll go pack my things. I'll leave tomorrow and won't disturb your world of two!"
"You little brat, are you deliberately looking for trouble?"
Zhao Fei Yan glared fiercely at Ouyang Yu, her pretty face instantly flushing crimson.
After seeing Ouyang Yu off, Liu Kai Xuan cleared his throat and said,
"Fei Yan, I think Xiao Yu is right!"
"Now that the opportunity is rare, we also have a rare chance to enjoy some time alone."
Zhao Fei Yan's face flushed as she retorted, "Liu Kai Xuan, can't you be more serious!"
"It's still daytime, let's go for a walk at the port!"
"I have some ideas about the port construction work that I'd like to discuss with you!"
Hero Island.
The Hero Building, after nearly a month of reconstruction, has now been basically fully repaired.
Moreover, the reconstructed Hero Building is even more luxurious than before.
Most importantly, to prevent any disturbances, many defensive fortifications have been built around the Hero Building.
Anyone wishing to enter the Hero Building must undergo strict security checks.
Anyone attempting to force their way into the Hero Building will be attacked by heavy weaponry such as machine guns and artillery.
Before the Pirate Alliance moved back into the Hero Building, the Pirate Alliance Leader, Bald Wolf, along with a group of chieftains, specifically went to mourn the Vice Leader, Kuashi.
At the memorial ceremony, Bald Wolf appointed the gang's second-in-command, Jiao Peng, as the new gang leader.
After the moment of silence, Jiao Peng said to Bald Wolf.
"Brother, Liu Kai Xuan's attack on our Hero Island caused huge casualties!"
"It has also greatly weakened the influence of our Pirate Alliance, and we must regain our prestige!"
"Otherwise, our Pirate Alliance will likely find it difficult to sustain itself!"
