Prince Zixuan happily finalized the transfer documents with Abu and the shipyard, becoming the owner of the world's largest superyacht for $1.086 billion.

After signing the documents, the group headed to the dock.

Although Abu was very reluctant to see the yacht that he both loved and hated, he still accompanied Prince Zixuan and his group to the dock, hoping to establish a relationship with Prince Zixuan and become a client of the Predator Fund.

When the group arrived at the dock, they saw a white yacht that looked like it came straight out of a sci-fi movie.

It was so beautiful!

Seeing this yacht, which belonged to him and completely surpassed any superyacht in any Hollywood blockbuster, Prince Zixuan was excited and quickened his pace.

A shipyard designer introduced the yacht to Prince Zixuan: "The Eclipse is almost complete. It went out to sea for a trial run last autumn. However, the communication equipment was not perfect, so we installed a powerful communication tower and its supporting equipment, as well as several radar sensor discs. Now, the communication system on the yacht can rival that of any small warship, ensuring that the yacht will not lose communication in any sea on this planet. Once the equipment is fully adjusted, it can leave the dock."

Prince Zixuan nodded and said, "Safety first."

Hearing that Prince Zixuan valued safety, the designer immediately said, "You don't need to worry about safety at all. The Eclipse is equipped with an intruder detection system and a missile defense system. You don't even have to worry about paparazzi, as the Eclipse has a laser protection system that continuously emits scanning waves. Once it detects the presence of a CCD image sensor (an important component of photography equipment), it immediately emits a strong beam of light to disable the camera's shooting ability.

In addition, the Eclipse is equipped with two helicopter landing pads, 20 water scooters, 4 small sightseeing yachts, and a submarine and its cabin. This submarine can dive to a depth of 160 feet and can also enter the cabin directly from the bottom of the yacht, allowing you to leave or board the yacht without anyone knowing.

All the windows on the yacht are equipped with the latest B7 protection system, and the cockpit and owner's suite are surrounded by armor plates and bulletproof glass. There are five emergency exits for use in case of an attack.

In short, unless attacked by a warship, you don't need to worry about safety at all."

Indeed, the richer a person is, the more they fear death.

How many enemies does Abu have?

Or is he just afraid of being kidnapped?

The designer continued, "Of course, the main function of the Eclipse is to let you enjoy life to the fullest. The interior design was handled by Terence Disdale in London, and all the decorations are made of top-quality materials. There is a Havana bar next to the open-air swimming pool on the yacht, and another pool inside for private swimming and swimsuit parties. The depth of the pool can be adjusted, and once the water is drained, it can be transformed into a dance floor. The private cinema, study, and restaurant on the yacht will make your sea voyage more comfortable."

Swimsuit parties?

Does buying a superyacht mean you also have to buy a team of beauties?

Prince Zixuan was starting to daydream.

The group climbed aboard the Eclipse via the scaffolding on the hull.

The Eclipse has nine decks in total, with the engine room and machinery room on the bottom deck.

The second deck houses the submarine dock that can accommodate a 12-person submarine. This deck also has a disco for dancing.

The third deck and above are the living and entertainment areas.

Excluding the crew and bodyguards' quarters, the Eclipse has eight suites for guests.

The largest suite, naturally, is for the owner and is located on the fifth deck, covering 5,000 square feet (about 460 square meters). It has a private sea-view promenade, two large rooms, and a small garden on the deck. The ceiling of the master bedroom can automatically open to allow the owner to sleep under the stars.

The guest suites include five double rooms and two single rooms, each with a private sea-view balcony and a 6-foot wide-screen movie screen.

It was truly luxurious.

After touring the Eclipse, Prince Zixuan had only one thought: to sail this superyacht back to his country immediately.

Unfortunately, he didn't have a crew yet, and the Eclipse was still being adjusted.

After more than an hour of touring, the group finally left the yacht.

Abu, being attentive, said, "I have booked a restaurant. Would you honor me by joining me for a meal?"

Prince Zixuan, who was grateful to Abu for customizing such a superyacht for him, smiled and said, "Thank you, I also have some matters to discuss with you."

Both had reasons to treat the other: Abu wanted to thank Prince Zixuan for solving a hot potato for him, while Prince Zixuan wanted to thank Abu for waiting four years to design such a superyacht.

However, for people of their wealth, buying a restaurant was a matter of minutes, and vying to treat each other would be unseemly.

They would just have to return the favor in the future.

Adolf von Frank, who originally didn't want to deal with the nouveau riche Abu, didn't say anything when he saw Prince Zixuan agree.

The group left the dock, and Prince Zixuan still rode in Adolf's car, following Abu's convoy to a restaurant by Ulster Lake.

For this dinner, Abu had booked the entire restaurant.

The chefs, ingredients, and red wine were all top-notch.

After chatting for a while, Abu said, "Mr. Wang mentioned earlier that he had something to ask me. Could it be that you are interested in investing in Russia?"

Abu is not only a tycoon in Russia's oil and non-ferrous metal industries but also has a close relationship with President Putin, making him very influential in Russia.

Prince Zixuan smiled and shook his head. "No, I'm not interested in mining. I have my eye on an English Premier League team, so I want to ask you how to be a beloved owner."

Abu was taken aback but then laughed. "Welcome. Being loved by fans is simple: turn their favorite club into a top team and win a few championships. Buying a top team is much harder, as winning is a tradition, and not winning is a failure."

For him, Chelsea was just a toy.

Although Prince Zixuan's entry would make the Premier League more competitive, competition is what makes sports interesting. He also wanted to find an opportunity to establish a relationship with Prince Zixuan, and having a Premier League team in common would undoubtedly give them more opportunities to meet and share common interests.

Prince Zixuan nodded and said, "You're right. It's better to build a top team than to buy one. What do you think of Tottenham?"

Tottenham and Chelsea are both London teams.

Abu, who was familiar with Premier League teams, nodded. "Not bad. Tottenham has a long history but isn't a top team. This season, they have a good momentum and might even finish in the top four of the Premier League, qualifying for the Champions League."

Prince Zixuan smiled. "I like Tottenham's rooster logo."

Money talks!

At that moment, Abu could only think of Prince Zixuan's song that had gone viral globally.

How damn extravagant.

Buying a team just because he likes the logo.

And he even had the nerve to say that Tottenham might finish in the top four of the Premier League.

The top four in the Premier League have always been dominated by Manchester United, Chelsea, Liverpool, and Arsenal. Although the top four teams are not strong this year, Abu didn't really take Tottenham seriously.
