Chapter 88

Ten thousand thanks to "rick668" for the generous tip!!! I'm begging for your favorites and recommendation tickets!!!

When they received this news, and even learned that Zeng Fu's abilities were many times more powerful than those inside, the US high-level officials collectively fell into a state of shock. Even after more than half a year, they still haven't dared to send a single agent to Jeju Island, fearing that they might anger Ji Feng and suffer a ruthless attack. They racked their brains but couldn't come up with a way to counter Ji Feng's attacks.

What shocked the US even more was that Ji Feng definitely had more than just these two agreements; he had three others. Although the current investigation hasn't revealed which three they are, they believe that Ji Feng's choice of Jeju Island was well thought out. The next three agreements are likely to be even more sensitive. Even without knowing the specific content of the other three agreements, they infer that the supervisors are most likely the then US President and the US government. Whether Ji Feng has three more agreements that they don't know about, if he can produce them, they will not be able to escape the role of supervisors.

After countless arguments, the US high-level officials have basically reached a consensus: before they have absolute confidence in subduing Ji Feng, they will not make him an enemy and should try to befriend him. If they can make him an ally, it will be a great benefit to the US with no drawbacks. Otherwise, if Ji Feng uses his abilities against the US, it will be a disaster for the entire country.

However, not everyone in their ranks shares this mindset. Some have quietly contacted other countries to test Ji Feng's limits. After more than half a year of observation, they found something interesting: Ji Feng seems to be quite lazy and likes to delegate most tasks to his subordinates. He doesn't show a strong desire for power, and as long as his interests are not harmed, he is generally quite reasonable.

What interests them the most is that Ji Feng seems to be connected to some mysterious organization. Whether it's the Barracuda or the Teddy Bear, these things should not belong to this world, yet Ji Feng has them. Although he claims they are his own research, few people believe it.

Before they fully understand this mysterious organization, the US will not easily provoke the equally dangerous Ji Feng. Others might not know, but the US, which closely monitors South Korea, is very clear: in South Korea's own waters, despite all the efforts, no oil was found. However, after Ji Feng took over, he discovered oil within a few months, and the reserves and single-well production are extremely impressive.

The 680mm oil pipes, which no country in the world has the technology or equipment for, were seemingly conjured out of thin air by Ji Feng. The buoys around Jeju Island's waters are even more shocking. Through experiments with Japanese and US submarines, they found that as soon as they entered the edge of the waters, they immediately received warnings from the Jeju naval base. Not a single one has slipped through, and the most frustrating part is that the Jeju naval base didn't even send a small sailboard; they knew from a distance that someone had entered their waters.

This further confirms what Ji Feng said: these buoys are not just boundary markers but also have high-precision sonar capabilities. They even suspect they might have radar capabilities, as they detected an unknown frequency within 50 nautical miles of Jeju Island's waters, though its range is only 50 nautical miles. Beyond that distance, the unknown frequency disappears.

This makes the US even more amazed. Where did Ji Feng get such advanced technology? Just one buoy can defend the entire sea area like an iron bucket, even the most advanced US nuclear submarines can't sneak in.

Ji Feng's mystery makes the US both curious and wary of his personal strength. No one knows the extent of Ji Feng's abilities. Last time, he only demonstrated his stealth capabilities. After secretly investigating the South Korean military, they obtained surveillance footage of Ji Feng breaking into the Blue House, which shocked the US again. Ji Feng's supernatural abilities, such as conjuring a machine gun out of thin air, made people's scalps tingle, especially the gleaming ammunition belt. More importantly, Ji Feng's hands never touched the machine gun, yet it seemed to be a part of his body, controlled with great flexibility.

Magnetic control or object control, combined with his ability to infiltrate any area at will, makes all US high-level officials feel a chill down their spines. If they provoke such an existence, they doubt they will see the next day's sun, as no one can defend against him. Even the most advanced weapons can't touch his shadow, as the video shows Ji Feng's body disappearing, indicating a teleportation-like ability that no weapon can capture.

Because of their series of investigations and speculations, Ji Feng has become their top VIP, and one who cannot be easily offended. Moreover, Ji Feng can easily obtain more advanced technology and equipment, which they know is far more advanced than what the US considers advanced.

They even speculate that Ji Feng's emphasis on cheap and usable military equipment is a real strategy to provoke surrounding countries to attack him, giving him an excuse to wage war and gain greater benefits.

This is why, after discovering the huge oil reserves on Jeju Island, the US has no intention of getting involved, even joking that it belongs to Ji Feng, and how it is handled is up to him, with no one else or any country having the right to interfere with Ji Feng's decisions.

Ji Feng doesn't know that much of his information has been uncovered by the US, and the more they know, the more afraid and worried they become. After chatting with Hamilton for a while, Ji Feng finally said, "My plan is to deploy more advanced fighter jets there in the future to quickly strike invading enemies. I hope the US will continue to export more fighter jets and accompanying weapons to me. Of course, if the US can export more advanced and cost-effective fighter jets, I will be even happier."

Hamilton nodded slightly and smiled, "I believe the President will agree. The President has always considered you his best friend. When I returned to the US last month for my report, he personally told me that if you establish a country, the US will fully support you."

Ji Feng laughed and shook his head, "I won't do that. I don't have such ambitions. I just want to reclaim my great-grandfather's legacy and have the ability to protect it from being taken by others. I have always been a peace-loving person. Even though your country's submarines have 'accidentally' tried to enter my waters five times, I only issued warnings. This shows that I have no intention of making enemies. I am just an island owner, and I only want to be an island owner, a leisurely one at that."

Hamilton, with his thick skin, was not bothered by Ji Feng's mention of the US submarine probes. "Yes, I believe Mr. Island Owner is a peace-loving and friendly person. I have never doubted this and have felt it multiple times. Our submarines probably got lost, and actually, US technology is not as advanced as you think. Those damn manufacturers always mix in some substandard parts, affecting our satellite reception signals."

Ji Feng smiled, admiring his ability to lie with a straight face, something he himself couldn't do. After chatting with Hamilton for over an hour and conveying his intentions, he didn't care how the President would respond. At least for now, the Natuna Islands couldn't be reclaimed so quickly, and there would be a period of negotiation.

However, Ji Feng's final deadline for Patna is still the end of this year. If Indonesia does not hand over the islands by then, Ji Feng will not be so polite.

When Hamilton left, Ji Feng also gave him a gift. Despite not liking the cigars, he appreciated the gesture. Ji Feng chose a gift that wasn't too expensive but represented his sincerity: Jeju Island's specialty, orange perfume.

Speaking of Jeju Island's specialties, they are not very distinctive. In this modern era of highly developed logistics, any product can be quickly delivered to anywhere in the world, and what you have, others also have.

The island's specialty, oranges, are relatively famous. A perfume company under Ji Feng's name produces perfume, which is勉强 considered a specialty. The rest are too common. Although Ji Feng has better things in his space, they are clearly unsuitable as gifts and are only for personal use. He doesn't even bring them out for guests.

Due to the fishing ban on Jeju Island, the price of fish in South Korea has doubled. Jeju Island was South Korea's main fishing ground. At first, some fish could still be caught, but now it is directly banned by Ji Feng, causing South Korean fishing companies to go bankrupt. The amount of fish landing has drastically decreased, and even the fish caught in the Yellow Sea are extremely expensive, making South Koreans hesitant to eat fish due to the high prices.

After receiving multiple requests for negotiations from South Korea, Ji Feng's attitude did not change. With the help of several fish attractors, a large number of fish have flooded into his waters. With only three fishing boats operating daily, the catch is a fraction of what is in the sea. Many ship captains sailing in the island's waters often see schools of fish playing in the sea. If they want to set nets, they will have to deal with the Jeju defense department.
