Time turned back half an hour.
An extravagantly luxurious white yacht was slowly leaving Modu Port, heading for the vast international waters.
A lavish, decadent party was underway on deck.
Melodious music, expensive champagne, and more than a dozen young models in bikinis with sizzling figures, laughing and chasing one another across the deck.
Even the air was steeped in extravagance and indulgence.
Gao Zisheng reclined on the central deck chair with a young model on either side, enjoying their service as they applied sunscreen to him.
He felt as though he ruled the world.
Not far away.
Dressed in an immaculate black suit, Chen Mo stood by the railing, utterly out of place amid the hedonistic scene.
He stood like a statue, his face expressionless.
"Hey, Chen Mo."
Gao Zisheng suddenly spoke. He did not even bother getting up, merely lifting his chin lazily as he asked in a boastful tone:
"What did you think of my performance at the dock? With those lines and that innocent expression, couldn't I go straight to winning an Oscar for best actor?"
"..."
Chen Mo was somewhat speechless and did not answer.
A trace of displeasure crossed Gao Zisheng's face.
What he hated most was Chen Mo's perpetually unruffled manner, as though nothing was worthy of his attention.
If not for Second Master Jun, he would have kicked this pretentious bastard into the sea to feed the fish long ago!
"Hmph!"
Gao Zisheng snorted and began muttering:
"So what if Yue Xiaofei's a big shot? The head of Modu's financial elite? The Dragon Head of the Azure Alliance? I still played him like a fiddle!"
"Oh, right. I just got back from Jiangcheng. Guess what I did?"
The two young models beside him immediately leaned closer, shaking his arms with adoration written
