Chapter 432 Pirates Rise Again

"Haha..."

Liu Kai Xuan nodded and smiled, "Of course I know, they are all my own flesh and blood!"

"But as the saying goes, children and grandchildren have their own blessings!"

"Little ones, the future path is theirs to forge!"

Zhao Fei Yan asked, "You've built such a large fortune, shouldn't you be seizing the time to cultivate them to inherit your legacy?"

"That's a matter for them to consider themselves!"

Liu Kai Xuan said in a deep voice, "I hope my children will surpass me!"

"At such a young age, if they don't strive to build their own careers and only think of relying on their parents, how can that be?"

"Uh... So that's how you see it!"

Zhao Fei Yan suddenly realized, "The way you put it, there is some truth to it!"

"Young people must have the drive to strive and advance!"

"If they are complacent and only think of freeloading, no amount of family fortune can withstand it!"

"However!"

At this point, Zhao Fei Yan changed the subject, "If the two little ones are to develop their own careers in the future!"

"You, as their father, must also give them the greatest support!"

"With your successful experience as guidance, their life paths can avoid many detours, can't they?"

"Hehe!"

Liu Kai Xuan nodded in agreement, "Naturally, they are my children!"

"If necessary, I will naturally impart some experience to them!"

"But in the short term, I still plan to observe passively for a while!"

"Unless they proactively seek my help, or are at risk of going astray!"

"Otherwise, I will let them develop freely on their own!"

Zhao Fei Yan wanted to say something more, but ultimately didn't.

What Liu Kai Xuan had just said made perfect sense.

Commercial competition is extremely fierce; sometimes a wrong decision can lead to heavy losses for a company.

If those two little ones were to inherit Liu Kai Xuan's multi-billion dollar assets, they would need to have the capability.

They had no experience in this regard and wouldn't know what to do with the assets.

It would be best for them to enter society in their own way and be tempered in the great furnace of society.

After accumulating some experience and lessons, perhaps they could forge a new path of their own.

...

Maniya Sea, Kai Xuan City.

In the recent period, with Liu Kai Xuan's departure, the pirate forces in the bay area, which had been dormant for a long time, began to re-emerge.

Just last night, a merchant fleet carrying oil was intercepted by pirate forces while sailing at sea.

The merchant was forced to pay a hefty toll to the pirates before being allowed to leave safely.

Subsequently, the merchant found the Kai Xuan City patrol team and demanded that they be held responsible for his losses.

When pirate forces were rampant in the Maniya Sea, Liu Kai Xuan had dispatched large numbers of drone squadrons for round-the-clock patrols.

Suspicious vessels were immediately monitored closely.

For ships with higher risk factors, armed deterrence was employed.

The pirates had clashed with Liu Kai Xuan several times, but ultimately ended in defeat.

Later, the pirate forces suffered severe blows under Liu Kai Xuan and were forced to disband and withdraw.

However, it must be emphasized that most of the pirate leaders were still alive.

As long as these people were alive, their influence remained.

When Liu Kai Xuan, the formidable boss, was present, the pirates dared not show themselves due to his deterrence!

But now that Liu Kai Xuan had left the Maniya Sea, the former pirate leaders naturally returned to their old ways.

It would be a strange thing if Ouyang Yu, a young girl, could deter those desperate outlaws.

According to the rules Liu Kai Xuan had set, merchant ships transporting goods could purchase commercial insurance at Kai Xuan City port if they were concerned about pirate raids.

For merchant ships that had purchased commercial insurance, if they suffered losses due to pirate raids within the insurance period.

The insurance company could provide compensation for 50% of the total loss to the affected merchants.

It is worth emphasizing that due to the long-term harassment by pirates in the Maniya Sea.

Vessels operating in this sea area would, more or less, be equipped with weapons to guard against pirate attacks.

If the pirates were to be relentless, the crew would also fight back with all their might.

Therefore, when robbing merchant ships, pirate forces generally would not kill and loot.

In most cases, pirates would extort money by demanding a toll.

Thus, with Liu Kai Xuan's initiative, logistics and trade at Kai Xuan Port gradually became more active.

In the beginning, for the safety of their cargo, most ship owners bought insurance.

Later, pirate forces disappeared, and for a long time, they did not resurface.

Naturally, the insurance business was neglected by the ship owners.

This time, the ship owner who was hijacked by pirates was named Kuma.

Kuma had purchased a commercial insurance policy in May of last year, with a one-year term.

Now, his insurance had expired by a month.

In reality, this policy was no longer within the scope of claims.

But Kuma felt extremely wronged. The insurance policy had just expired, and he was immediately hit by pirates: how could it be such a coincidence?

Kuma believed that Kai Xuan Island's reduced patrol efforts in the Maniya Sea had led to the resurgence of pirate power.

Therefore, Kai Xuan City should still bear some of his losses in this matter.

This man's method of negotiation was simply outright extortion, and the insurance company naturally would not pay him.

Subsequently, this matter reached Ouyang Yu.

Ouyang Yu's temper was even more fiery than Liu Kai Xuan's.

Since pirate forces had become rampant again, it was time to intensify efforts and eliminate this pirate force.

Ouyang Yu immediately dispatched drone squadrons to conduct a comprehensive search of the Maniya Sea.

During the search, some suspicious vessels were indeed found.

But... they were only suspicious.

Drones could only attack when there was conclusive evidence.

Against suspicious targets, drones could at most circle and monitor from the air.

After all, once the drones opened fire, the ships below would face the fate of sinking and drowning.

If it was a pirate ship, it would be fine, but if they accidentally injured a civilian vessel, it would be a big trouble.

Unless the identity of the pirate ship was confirmed, or it was confirmed that the surface vessel had an aggressive tendency, the drones would open fire.
