Chapter 91: Global Hunting Group Website

Daniel had been lost in his own thoughts the whole way.

Donovan's talk about diving training was something he had to get into, not just 'cause it was the right move, but 'cause he needed to feel safe.

Shooting practice had kept him grounded when he felt super insecure, but as his career took off and the risks piled up, just being a good shot wasn't cutting it anymore.

It wasn't just about diving; Daniel knew he needed more hardcore combat training.

He knew his enemies wouldn't always be some low-level thugs or mercs; he needed some next-level skills.

The brutal selection training didn't faze him 'cause Daniel knew his 'insecurity' would push him harder than anything else.

But yeah, those pro skills were a must.

Rappelling, parachuting, diving, CQB, and a bunch of other combat skills—if he got the chance, Daniel wanted to try 'em all.

He didn't need to be on par with the top special forces, but he had to be ready when it counted.

After spilling his thoughts to the only pro in the know, Daniel crossed his arms and shut his eyes again.

He was beat. At 6'2" and over 200 pounds, plus all the stress, he was not just physically wiped but mentally too.

Seeing Daniel crash again, the others quietly shut up.

By 8 PM, Daniel, finally feeling somewhat human, started getting the barbecue ready.

Of course, he was just in charge of lighting the charcoal and prepping the sauces.

James chopped up ten pounds of lamb and ten pounds of beef, while Richard, who'd been keeping an eye on Calvin, went to town to grab some veggies. After washing 'em, they had a feast ready.

Calvin, like a nosy big dog, kept circling around, constantly asking about the so-called 'battle situation.' But Daniel was in a good mood and saw Calvin as his high-end distributor, so he put up with Calvin's weirdness.

After trailing Daniel and whining for a while, Calvin realized Daniel was ignoring him. He got a bit ticked and yelled, "I'm talking to you."

In a chill mood, Daniel shrugged and said, "I'm listening, keep going."

Calvin was taken aback, then sneered, "I spent two days making a website for you, and you don't seem interested."

Daniel was stunned and said, "What website? I'm an arms dealer; what do I need a website for?"

Calvin seemed exasperated. He put his hands on his hips, pointed at the busy Richard, and shouted, "That guy said you want to become the world's top hunting guide, so I spent some time making a website for you."

Daniel, in disbelief, said, "You made a hunting guide website for me?"

Calvin, seeing Daniel's surprised look, raised his chin and said, "Of course, what's so hard about that?"

Seeing Calvin's 'you owe me' look, Daniel knew he had an angle.

So he put on a whatever look and said, "What's the point of a website? Who even looks at websites on computers anymore?

And without an offline service company, what's the use of just having a website?"

Calvin looked at Daniel with disdain and said, "Don't think I don't know; you want this website for money laundering.

Is it hard to register an offshore company?

With a company and an online presence, you can use the internet to fake transactions for money laundering.

I did the heavy lifting for you; you gotta pay me."

Daniel looked at Calvin like he was an idiot and said, "Who told you I wanted to launder money?"

"I just wanna blow up the hunting guide biz. One day, I'll have hunting guide companies all over Afrilon!

In the future, folks like you will need my say-so to hunt even a rabbit here.

Pay you? Man, you're money-crazy!

If you really wanna make bank, take a gun back to Switzara and sell my high-end pieces to those rich hobbyists.

If you're as big a deal as you say, I promise you'll be rolling in it."

Calvin looked at the stubborn Daniel and said, "You really don't want it? I built an algorithm into the site that tracks exchange rates from major banks, so you can rake in the most cash without even thinking when laundering money.

And I, 'Albatross,' can run the site. I can even help you set up a company in Vestria and open accounts in big banks worldwide.

You sure you don't want it?"

Daniel paused and said, "Isn't this stuff accountants and lawyers should handle?"

Calvin squinted at Daniel and said, "Didn't Natalie tell you?

I'm not just a hacker; I'm also a partner at the top law firm in Switzara.

You think being a hacker pays enough to buy a WA2000?"

Daniel was floored by Calvin's words. He couldn't believe Calvin was a lawyer. What kind of judge would put up with him mouthing off in court?

But when Daniel looked at Natalie, she smiled and nodded, saying, "I can vouch for it; Calvin's a top-notch lawyer.

Honestly, if it weren't for him, I wouldn't have made it out of Auroria to Switzara with my family.

And I can guarantee he can do what he says 'cause his last name is 'Hayes.'

His dad's the chairman of the biggest multinational industrial group in Switzara, and he's the youngest son of the Hayes family."

Natalie glanced at the grumpy Calvin and smiled, "You're a genius, but some things you can't dodge. I think if you wanna work with Daniel, you should be more upfront."

Daniel trusted Natalie wouldn't lie to him, so he turned to the complex-faced Calvin and said, "Let's skip your last name; it doesn't matter to me. I just wanna know what you want.

What's in it for you helping me with this?"

Calvin didn't rush to answer. He walked over to Natalie, wrapped his arm around hers, and after giving Daniel a creepy look, said, "I wanna be a partner. I can invest my skills, but you gotta give me 20% of the shares.

I don't need a salary or dividends, but I have conditions."

Daniel asked curiously, "What conditions?"

Calvin held Natalie's arm tightly and said sadly, "There are a lot of girls out there in bad spots, just like Natalie.

When I need it, you gotta help me help them."

Daniel spread his hands and said, "I don't have enough cash to support that many people."

Facing Daniel's dodge, Calvin rolled his eyes again and said, "You don't need to spend money. I asked Richard and looked up Afrilon's laws.

Registering a hunting guide company here is a piece of cake. This not only makes your fake transactions for money laundering easier but also helps those girls get Afrilon visas and passports through these tourism hunting guide companies.

You can set up the tourism hunting guide company Richard mentioned in Eldoria. You don't even need to handle it; I can help you register companies in various countries in Eldoria.

As long as those companies exist, I can legally help those girls get Afrilon passports and start fresh in Eldoria."

After listening, Daniel looked at Calvin and said in disbelief, "You're a genius!"
