Leveling Up With My Pet

Shi Lijun was surprised at the possibility that Universal might have been responsible for the incident.

However, he promptly dismissed this idea and considered the possibility of it being a mere coincidence.

He couldn't entirely rule out their involvement despite his disbelief in Global Ocean Services' capability to quietly sink such a massive vessel with tens of thousands of tons.

As he contemplated, he wondered if Global Ocean Services had done the act or if someone else was responsible.

After recalling Qiu Yang's ominous warning about Proton Group's responsibility for all future incidents, Shi Lijun needed to be more confident and confident.

Despite his initial suspicions, he ultimately remained unconvinced that Universal Ocean Services was involved in the incident.

He reasoned that if Universal possessed such immense power, they would not need to resort to covert actions, and Proton Group would have no choice but to surrender immediately.

The sheer audacity of the act - to pierce over a dozen gaping holes in their boat without detection or any knowledge of the perpetrator or their methods - left Shi Lijun incredulous.

It was an astounding feat, but if Universal Ocean Services carried it out, it would be a pointless display of their power.

Indeed, they would have taken to the skies and issued direct threats, warning that all future events would be the sole responsibility of Proton Group.

With this reasoning, Shi Lijun remained convinced that Universal was not behind the incident.

The memory of the slow-moving container ship from Global Ocean Services that Shi Lijun had seen earlier that morning at Dongshan Deep Sea Port came flooding back, causing him to feel frustrated and irritated.

Shi Lijun expressed his displeasure with Global Ocean Services through a derisive snort and began considering ways to retaliate against them.

His loyal followers had suggested several options, such as reporting the incident to customs and the tax department and urging them to investigate Universal.

Others suggested leveraging Proton's strength to secure orders, causing Global Ocean Services to lose business and leaving their cargo ships empty with nothing to transport.

As the discussion continued, some of Shi Lijun's group members even suggested paying someone to teach Qiu Yang or Hu Shijun a lesson to leave a lasting impression on them.

However, after weighing the options, Shi Lijun ultimately decided that the most dependable approach would be to leverage Proton's strength and secure orders from Universal, thus forcing Global Ocean Services to suffer the consequences of its actions.

Shi Lijun considered paying someone to intimidate Qiu Yang or Hu Shijun and decided it could be a valuable tool for the future. With his mind made up, he picked up the phone and issued orders to his subordinates.

A smirk appeared on his face as he thought to himself, Proton was the leader of the ocean transportation industry in Huahai City.

With Universal out of business, they would have no choice but to come to him for assistance.

As Liu Yong sat in his office reviewing a document, he couldn't help but feel satisfied with the company's growth and development.

He began to consider strengthening the senior management team and enlisting a headhunting company to find a suitable candidate for the deputy general manager position.

Suddenly, a loud knocking on the door, followed by Hu Shijun bursting in, "Brother Yong, there's a situation that requires your attention."

Liu Yong nodded in response.

Hu Shijun entered the room and reported, "Brother Yong, in the past couple of days, several customers intended to place orders with us, but Proton Group intercepted them all."

Upon hearing this, Liu Yong chuckled.

"It seems like they haven't learned their lesson yet,

" Liu Yong remarked. "It's ridiculous that they're intercepting orders from their own company, causing us to lose out on potential business for the past two days."

He then explained the consequences of the situation,

"Global Ocean Services has a ship waiting at the port to receive orders for loading and transportation. However, without any orders, the ship has to remain docked and we have to pay the port fees for every day it stays there."

The ideal scenario would have been having enough orders to keep the business flowing smoothly, allowing the ships to load and depart immediately. Unfortunately, that was not the case, as Proton Group intervened and disrupted the process.

Hu Shijun expressed his frustration, "Brother Yong, if it was fair competition and they won the business through their own merits, that would be understandable. However, our investigation has revealed that Proton Group has used unethical means to intercept our customers. This is not a fair competition at all."

It was clear why Hu Shijun was so angry.

Liu Yong, on the other hand, remained calm and optimistic. "There's no need to worry. We will receive more orders soon."

After calming down Hu Shijun and seeing him leave, Liu Yong realized it was necessary to continue teaching Proton Group a lesson.

The past two days' actions needed improvement, and more needed to be done. Liu Yong knew taking appropriate measures to protect the company's interests, and reputation was crucial.

"Overlord, where are you? There's work to be done," Liu Yong called out.

Bawang responded enthusiastically,

"Master, I'm near the sea. Do you want me to take down a big ship again? Don't worry, I can get to Dongshan Deepwater Port within an hour."

"Head to Dongshan Deepwater Port now and contact me when you arrive," Liu Yong ordered.

"Alright, I'm on my way," Bawang confirmed.

The Overlord was initially surfing the waves, but upon receiving the instruction, he grabbed his giant spear and made his way toward Dongshan Deepwater Port.

Within two or three days, Bawang had grown even more massive, and its weight had increased to around 23 tons.

Its attributes have also improved. It felt much smoother to handle the spear Liu Yong gave and was no longer as bulky as before.

True to his word, Bawang arrived at Dongshan Deepwater Port in about an hour.

The distance of over 100 nautical miles, or more than 200 kilometers, was covered in just an hour, a feat that only Bawang could achieve. No ship or sea creature could match its speed.

"Master, I have arrived at Dongshan Deepwater Port. Which ship do you want me to destroy?"

Bawang asked.

Liu Yong accessed a third-party vision, allowing him to see both Bawang in the water and the situation at Dongshan Deepwater Port.

Liu Yong saw several giant ships docked at the pier in the bulk cargo terminal, where coal and iron ore were loaded and unloaded.

One of the ships stood out due to its massive size, estimated to have more than 150,000 tons of displacement.

It was a bulk carrier named "Fortune," with the prominent logo and words of the Proton Ocean Shipping Group emblazoned on its hull. This ship was the largest in Proton Group's fleet.

Liu Yong selected a ship and instructed his subordinate, Bawang, to puncture holes in it. Pointing towards the largest ship at the dock in the distance, a bulk carrier named "Fortune of the Proton Group,"

Liu Yong ordered,

"Bawang, do you see the biggest ship at the dock in the distance? It's the bulk carrier Fortune of the Proton Group. Go and poke some holes for me."

Bawang was thrilled by the task and responded,

"Master, it's not enough to poke a few holes, at least a dozen holes, I'll go right away."

Liu Yong smiled and replied,

"You can make as many holes as you want, even if you smash that ship into a sieve, but remember, don't let it be discovered."

Bawang confidently said,

"Put it down, I'm underwater, no one can find me."

Bawang took his giant spear and quietly went under the "Fortune."

After observing the ship, he stabbed hard toward the bottom with the massive spear.

Meanwhile, Overlord became highly excited and exclaimed,

"It's like being beaten with chicken blood again. It likes and is most interested in doing this kind of work."
