"It's hard to say; our company would definitely pay, but how much that would be still needs to be discussed. However, if it's a Chinese vessel, I can assure you there will absolutely be no bargaining!" Dr. Nakagawa said earnestly, "Last month, a Chinese oil tanker was hijacked here, and the pirates demanded a ransom of three million US dollars. Reportedly, without hesitation, they paid five hundred dollars, but they requested an invoice for ten million dollars."
"Really?!" The little brother's eyes widened in shock.
"Absolutely!" Dr. Nakagawa's eyes gleamed with cunning before he reminded, "If you go after them now, you might still have a chance!"
"Sorry, I'm only interested in Japanese vessels, not Chinese ones!" With those words, the little brother made Dr. Nakagawa feel desperate. He added before leaving, "Tell your company to prepare the ransom quickly, or else, there's only one outcome: death!"
