Chapter 174

Stella shook her head, "We can't fish, and a fishing boat won't do us any good."

Truth be told, she longed for a cruise ship, and Aqua Base just happened to have one that looked fairly new.

Jasper frowned, "We already have a yacht."

Coming from an orphanage, she might lack certain skills, but she had learned to prepare for the worst far earlier than most.

Stella's sense of crisis was even stronger, "A yacht can help us survive at sea, but if we encounter a major storm or a super earthquake and tsunami caused by a massive plate collision, a giant wave could swallow the yacht."

Indeed, Aqua Base had a tarnished reputation and might cheat them, but Stella felt it was worth the gamble, "If we lose, we just lose a batch of insulin; if we win, we get a cruise ship, which might save us when the world turns upside down." Sensing her determination, Jasper didn't object, "We should plan for the long term and minimize the risk."

His agreement made Stella feel good, "You're good at strategizing. I'll follow your lead."

Her flattery made Jasper laugh, but he was also pleased.

Stella sat on the sofa, chatting with him while munching on snacks. They discussed their plans late into the night.

The next day, Austin came over early, "So, what's the news? Do we have a deal?"

Stella hesitated, "We have insulin, but how much does Aqua Base need?"

"For them, the more the merrier."

Austin, the savvy businessman, had already informed Aqua Base of Stella's rough demand, guessing it was either a fishing boat or a cruise ship.
