Chapter 1354: Herbert Corporation

Translator: 549690339
Feng bujue only took twenty minutes to arrive at the Alfred hotel, which was the location of the mission.

He didn’t need to ask for directions, nor did he need any transportation. He just followed the people who had just gotten off the cruise ship and looked like tourists in one direction.

After all … This Island was only so big. Although there was more than one place to stay on the island, this was the only place that could be called a “hotel.”

When they arrived at the hotel entrance, Feng bujue did not rush in. He stood on the street and looked into the lobby through the glass wall for a while, then turned around and left.

As a very efficient person, brother Jue naturally would not go in and join in the fun at this peak hour. He didn’t have any luggage to store anyway, so it was obviously better to use the time he spent “lining up in the hotel lobby” elsewhere.

!!

Therefore, Feng bujue’s exploration of the island began.

The weather that day was pretty good. The temperature wasn’t too high, and the humidity and strong winds unique to the seaside weren’t so obvious.

Feng bujue found a bicycle rental store near the hotel. With his exceptional eloquence and unique bargaining skills with the Chinese, he managed to get a bicycle at a price that even the owner of the store had the feeling that he had been scammed.

After that, he took a “travel guide” that he had stolen from the shop owner and rode on a bicycle that was basically borrowed without any notes. He set off along the island Ring Road.

…………

Kouchkati Island was a typical tourist town. Places like this often had some subtle similarities: Tourists loved this place, and businessmen did not comment on it. Most of the young natives wanted to leave this place, or had already left, while the old people on the island wanted to spend the rest of their lives here.

This was the life on the island. One day was heaven, a month was the human world, and a lifetime … Well, almost no one would stay here for a lifetime. Even the old people here did not stay on the island for their entire lives.

Apart from the bustling scene during the tourism season, for the rest of the year, it was just an island town with a relatively backward economy and living standard.

Luxurious hotel rooms, first-class public facilities, and all kinds of modern products … These were all prepared for the tourists. The residents on the island could not afford that kind of living expenses. They lived very ordinary lives, the lives of the people in second-and third-tier cities.

Apart from tourism, which was only profitable for a few months in a year, tuna was the real support for the economy and society of kuchetti Island.

Or should I say …’Herbert Corporation’?

Forty years ago, when old Herbert was sailing his broken little fishing boat out to sea, he would never have thought … That one day, he would become one of the most influential figures on this Island, or even in all of Wales.

Now, his picture had spread all over Europe and even the world. Of course … It was printed on all kinds of canned fish.

Seven years ago, old Herbert had passed away from an illness, and his eldest son, John Herbert, had taken over the company. Most of the residents living on kouchkati Island worked for John.

Fishing fleets, canned food processing factories, logistics companies … Herbert’s company had provided jobs for almost all the adult residents on the island. Even though the Alfred hotel was not run by the Herbert family, they were also involved in the investment.

On top of that, even the few police officers and civil servants on the island had to give Herbert some face when they were doing their work. At the end of the day … Their family members were also working in other people’s factories.

In short, for the residents who lived here, this Island was more like Herbert Island than “korchkati Island.”

…………

One week around the island was longer than Feng bujue had expected. On one hand, his physical fitness in this scenario was worse than in real life, and on the other hand, he would stop to chat with passersby during the journey.

At dusk, brother Jue returned to the place of departure. When he returned the car, the expression of the shop owner seemed to say,””If I was ten years younger, I would have cut you.”

Feng bujue was embarrassed, so he added some money to the man and then took a bottle of drink and two packs of snacks from the boss.

He ate as he walked, and once again, he arrived at the Alfred hotel.

At that moment, the hotel lobby was much emptier. Feng bujue walked to the front desk and checked in. Just as he had expected, a single guest like him who had no special requirements for a room would not have to worry about not having a room.

Since he didn’t have any luggage, he didn’t need anyone to show him the way. He took the key card from the front desk and went upstairs.

The moment he received the door card, the system’s voice sounded.[Mission completed]

Feng bujue opened the game menu and saw that there was a tick next to the mission ‘stay at Alfred hotel’, and a new mission had appeared below it. [Waiting for the case to happen].

“How straightforward …” As brother Jue mumbled this, he was already in front of the elevator.

Ding!

Just then, the elevator arrived.

A figure appeared behind the elevator door that slowly opened.

It was a middle-aged man who looked to be less than forty years old. There was nothing special about his appearance. At least in Western Europe, this kind of appearance that was full of Saxon characteristics was very common. He was wearing a dark-colored suit and a new-looking Panama hat. The brim of his hat was pressed low, as if he didn’t want others to see his face.

When Feng bujue walked past the middle-aged man, there was no eye contact or a nod. The two of them merely walked past each other, and neither of them showed any signs of suspicion.

However, in those two seconds, Feng bujue already knew that Wan Wan was probably related to the case that was about to happen.

This was because … With just one encounter, brother Jue had already guessed his identity. Furthermore, he had already found some clues on him that might be a clue.

“Hey! Wait a minute!”

A few seconds later, just as the elevator door was halfway closed, a man’s voice suddenly came from outside, accompanied by the sound of hurried footsteps.

Feng bujue’s thoughts were interrupted by the shout, but he still helped the man open the door.

Soon, the elevator door opened again, and the person who had shouted “wait” appeared at the door.

“Haa…Haa…Thank you …” He panted as he entered the elevator.

Feng bujue studied the young man before him.”At first glance, the young man’s clothes looked very ordinary, but if one knew what was good, they would find that he was wearing expensive branded clothes, but the styles were more low-key. Looking at his appearance, he was clearly still a student, probably not even twenty years old. He was about the same height as brother Jue, but his body was thinner. Judging from his face and accent, the young man was most likely Chinese. By the way … He was quite handsome.

If there was anything special about this young man, it would be … The sports bag he was carrying on his right shoulder. The zipper was not zipped properly, and a cat was poking its head out of the unzipped zipper and looking out.

For some reason … The cat’s eyes seemed to be fixed on the middle-aged man outside the elevator.
