Boone's heart instantly skipped a beat.

Maria just offered to give more.

This made him struggle even more.

The temperature on the island was low, especially at night.

Even if the fish was left to be consumed for another night, it wouldn't go bad. It just wouldn't taste as good as when it was freshly cut, but that wouldn't be a problem at all!

Therefore, if he agreed to trade with Maria, he could have a nice lunch and dinner tomorrow with a delicious bluefin tuna sashimi on his plate.

Boone couldn't decide if he would agree or not. He was actually afraid that Emilio would Look down upon him if he showed such weakness.

Then, he thought, maybe Maria would offer a few more pounds of tuna to tempt him if he kept his silence. If he was to compromise, he should at least make the most out of it.

“I'L take that deal! I'll trade you with what you want!"

Out of nowhere, Emilio, the survival expert suddenly struck a deal. Obviously, Boone was stunned. He felt Like he was stabbed on his back! On the other hand, Emilio just grinned at Boone and said, "Well, if Professor Hanson won't take it, I'LL gladly have the precious tuna." Boone couldn't help trembling in anger. He felt so betrayed.

Now, he regretted it instantly.

It was such a big loss, and there was no chance to recover it anymore. Even if it was cultured, the actual value of the bluefin tuna was unbelievably high.

Therefore, for this fresh and delicious wild tuna fish, it could even reach a value of thousands of dollars per kilogram!

Thousands of dollars worth of fish in exchange for a small pot worth less than a dozen dollars? Emilio thought that Boone was stupid for even hesitating for a second.

But to Boone, Emilio was an impatient asshole. He thought that they could have gotten more from Maria if he hadn't been too hasty. Nonetheless, it was too late now. In the back of his mind, Boone thought that he should have said yes first.

He wanted to cry, realizing how much of an opportunity he wasted. His greediness got the better of him, so he only had himself to blame. The three of them didn't have any tools for weighing, but Maria just roughly cut a piece of the tuna and threw it to Emilio.

As a survival expert, Emilio just weighed it with his hands and nodded with satisfaction. "Yes, this is more or less two pounds. Thank you, Miss Jenkins!"

“Right, right. Just give me the pot now," Maria said a little impatiently.

Of course, since the whole program was being broadcasted Live, Emilio didn't dare break his promise. Besides, he also wanted to eat something delicious for once.

Hence, Emilio handed the soup pot to Maria, who quickly threw a piece of tuna bone into the pot.

Needless to say, she decided to make a fish bone soup for her dinner. Just imagining the taste of the soup from the aroma coming from the pot, the two men couldn't help swallowing.

Then, Maria began to cut the fish while making the soup.

She took out the slate that she had used to grill the shellfish before to serve as a plate and put the cut fish pieces on it.

As the meat of the tuna fish Lined up on the plate, the different parts showed various colors, making the dish more pleasant in the eyes.
