Chapter 63 My Another Success
"This slap may not pack the force of ten tons, but it still carries several tons of power."
Bawang said vigorously.
Despite making a noticeable splash upon impact with the water, the Overlord's powerful strike swiftly tore the robot apart, rendering it completely unusable and causing all its cables to snap.
"Stay out of my territory unless you have my permission. Consider this a warning." With a single swipe of his palm, the Overlord quickly dismantled the approaching underwater robot, letting out a sigh of relief and feeling a weight lifted off his shoulders."
Bawang, feeling angered, lashed out with a slap, and suddenly the salvage ship belonging to the Dianshi Company exploded. Chen Shufei was taken aback and shouted.
"What's going on? Our screens just went black all of a sudden," he asked.
One of the technology team members checked the systems and replied, "Boss, it looks like our underwater robot malfunctioned."
"Find out what went wrong immediately," ordered Chen Shufei.
"We've invested millions in that underwater robot. We cannot afford any mishaps."
The crew onboard the boat hurried to investigate.
After a while, it became clear that the underwater robot had suffered irreparable damage - its cable was severed, and it could no longer communicate. It lay limp and useless, like a deflated ball.
Bawang had not anticipated that his slap would create such a loud noise. Since there was no sign of any beams of light, he resumed his search carefully.
When Liu Yong woke up the following day, he reached for his pet panel. The third-party perspective on the panel allowed him to witness Bawang's search on the seabed in real time, almost like watching a live broadcast.
Liu Yong couldn't help but find it strange. The seabed at a depth of over 300 meters is typically pitch black, with low visibility. However, the third-party field of vision on the pet panel displayed a crystal-clear view with bright lighting and high resolution. Even the sand grains on the seabed were visible when zoomed in - it was awe-inspiring.
Liu Yong observed Bawang's search for a while and noticed he still needed to progress. He asked, "Bawang, how's it going on your end?"
The Overlord replied, "Master, I've been searching the designated area of 200,000 to 300,000 square meters non-stop, except for taking breaks to eat. However, I haven't found anything from yesterday till now."
"I'm certain that the necklace isn't in that area. I've already expanded the search area, but I still haven't found it," reported the Overlord.historical
Liu Yong was impressed by Bawang's efficiency in covering such a vast area quickly. "You're so smart!" he exclaimed, feeling delighted.
Furthermore, Liu Yong noticed that Bawang's intelligence level had significantly improved. He could now think without any help when faced with problems. For instance, if he searched a designated area and found nothing, he could make decisions alone and expand the search area accordingly.
After having breakfast, Liu Yong decided to head to the sea area where Bawang was searching instead of going to the company. Chen Hu was piloting the yacht, and once they reached the designated location, Liu Yong planned to wait for a while before diving into the sea. He was confident that the Overlord's advanced search abilities, supervision, and perception would allow them to find the necklace, even if it were a tiny target. He hoped to recover it that day.
To everyone's amazement, it didn't take long at all before they heard the sound of Overlord's surprise in Liu Yong's mind.
"Master, I've found a necklace. I wonder if it's the one you're looking for," the Overlord reported.
Liu Yong was suddenly filled with excitement and exclaimed, "Wait for me, I'll be down there right away."
The location where the necklace dropped is slightly different from the official location, and the closest rescue ship to the yacht is also 500 meters away.
When no one was watching, Liu Yong slipped into the water without diving gear and swam to Bawang's location.
"Master, look over there," Liu Yong exclaimed.
He had spotted a necklace resting on the seabed's fine sand not too far from the Overlord. Feeling excited, Liu Yong quickly swam over and picked up the necklace, scrutinizing it.
After a brief inspection, he was almost sure that it was the one they were searching for.
The necklace comprised hundreds of large and small diamonds, the most prominent of which was a large blue diamond. The pink diamonds surrounding it complemented the blue diamond's beauty and made it even more striking.
Liu Yong felt overjoyed upon realizing that he had found the necklace. He gently patted Bawang's massive head, expressing his gratitude for the sea creature's help locating it.
"Thank you, Bawang, for helping me find the necklace. You did an excellent job."
Bawang had fulfilled its task and was ready to return to the sea. Liu Yong bid it farewell, saying, "Go on, Bawang. You can return to the sea now."
Liu Yong placed the necklace on the table and proceeded to dry himself and change into dry clothes. Once he was presentable, Chen Hu arrived.
Chen Hu immediately noticed the necklace and asked with surprise, "Boss, did you find the necklace?"
Liu Yong smiled, "Yes, we were fortunate enough to recover it."
Chen Hu looked at Liu Yong with admiration, impressed by his Boss's impressive skills and capabilities.
Excitedly, Chen Hu asked, "Boss, may I have a look at the necklace?"
The necklace was worth over 50 million US dollars and had been crafted by a renowned jewelry master, making it priceless.
"Sure, go ahead," Liu Yong replied, allowing Chen Hu to inspect the necklace.
Upon receiving permission, Chen Hu carefully examined the necklace. He handled it carefully and placed it on the table to observe it more closely.
Chen Hu remarked, "Boss, this necklace is worth over 50 million US dollars. Since no one knows that you have found it, did you decide to keep it and forgo the 20 million US dollar reward?"
The difference between 20 million and 50 million was significant.
The question was worth considering, and Liu Yong had thought it over. Ultimately, he claimed the $20 million reward rather than keep the necklace for himself.
"The necklace's value is too well-known and distinct," Liu Yong explained.
"If I were to keep it, others would quickly discover that it is the engagement necklace of Prince A and Princess A. Furthermore, by keeping it, I wouldn't be able to let it go or even see it in the future."
Chen Hu nodded in agreement with Liu Yong's reasoning.
Even if someone were to disassemble the necklace and sell off its diamonds, it would still be evident that the diamonds came from the engagement necklace of Prince A and Princess A. Moreover, the largest and most valuable diamond, the blue one, would be difficult to hide.
Given this, keeping the necklace for personal use was not viable. Liu Yong's decision to claim the $20 million reward was logical.
"Let's go and collect our reward from Prince A," Chen Hu suggested.
Liu Yong nodded in agreement, and the two set off to receive their hard-earned reward.
Huahai City, in a five-star hotel's presidential suite.
Prince A and his concubine were preparing to leave, and their attendants were packing their belongings. The particular plane was also waiting to depart Huahai City that night.
"I'm sorry, my dear. It seems like we won't be able to find our engagement necklace," the Prince said, seeing the Princess blaming herself.
He let out a deep sigh, feeling hopeless about the situation.
