How much money would the Dubai Royal Family spend for their reputation?

Dubai's five princes, Prince Sayyid, provided the answer!

One hundred million!

The distinguished Dubai Prince, with a large entourage, landed at Ndele airport on a luxurious 737 three days later.

In front of numerous media, Prince Sayyid boldly declared that he would represent the garden of the Middle East, Dubai, and donate one hundred million US Dollars to the Central African National Park.

He hoped that the Central African Government would use this money to transform Ndele into a modern African Tourism City.

And he slightly 'complained' that he loved Namo too much; hence, he wished to build a private estate in Ndele, hoping that Lion King Namo would occasionally visit there...

Eager Central African young girls lined up to offer fresh flowers to the Dubai Prince, singing local songs that glorify great heroes.

Then Linda, as one of the few Ndele 'scholars' who could speak English, was assigned as the representative to accept the prince's check, and then she faced the media to offer some painfully flattering praise.

Following her, the Princess of Monaco took the stage to offer her high respects and smoothly gathered a donation of two million Dollars for the charity fund from the prideful prince.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Although this so-called one hundred million dollar donation was to be spread over three years as a targeted aid fund and came with some minor political terms, it was a mighty boost for Ndele nevertheless.

With Joe Ga around, no one dared to tamper with this money; it was destined to be used properly.

Everyone was very satisfied, especially Sayyid, who had not expected to encounter so much media here, and people from the European Royal Family cheering for his actions.

The only downside might be those captured Middle-Eastern fellows.

Initially, Prince Sayyid thought it best to carry out the whipping in public; he wanted to personally demonstrate the magnanimity of the Dubai Prince to the whole world.

But Joe Ga stopped his plan and changed the venue to the park management office.

According to Joe Ga, what the prince needed to present to the outside world was a benevolent image; it was better to whip them in a hidden place. "You just spent a hundred million securing a 'caring' image, how bad would it look to destroy it mere hours later?"

Sayyid found this very reasonable, and then he consulted urgently with his public relations manager and overturned the previous plan.

Of course, the whipping still had to happen!

Linda stood next to Joe Ga, her face beaming as she looked at the park management office's 'execution place'...

The outwardly smiling Prince Sayyid, now stern-faced, autonomously increased the 'attempted poaching' punishment from four lashes to ten.

Then, wielding a vine whip still smelling of plant life, he furiously mutilated the back of an unlucky soul.

Watching the man in such pain he couldn't even cry out, Linda stuck out her tongue and moved closer to Joe Ga, asking, "Sir, are we really okay doing this?"

Joe Ga laughed and responded, "What could be the problem?

They made a mistake, and even tried to escape punishment using the prince as their shield, while we are merely enforcing the law impartially, giving the prince a chance to 'defend' himself.

The hundred million the prince provided symbolizes his passionate commitment to this land; don't misinterpret it.

It's not a transaction, it's us making friends with the prince..."

This was the clever part about Joe Ga; when he put on the air of officiating business, even if Prince Sayyid gave a hundred million, he still had to thank him.

Because Joe Ga did indeed save the reputation of the Dubai Royal Family at an objective level, it could be considered as 'giving face,' seeing as he didn't outright 'ask for money.'

But if they took the money and didn't whip, that would turn it into a transaction, which is another story.

Most importantly, Joe Ga wouldn't touch a dime of this money; it would all be used to build up Ndele, thus not only Central African Government would thank him, but also Prince Sayyid's people would have no reason to hold a grudge against him.

Linda looked at Joe Ga as if he was speaking nonsense, stutteringly asking, "Can it really work like this?"

Joe Ga, looking at the trivially minded Linda, waved his hand and said, "The Prince will probably be tired after whipping a couple more people. Go up then and 'persuade' him to stop, at the same time express your admiration for his authority, and perhaps add a little cry about the poverty in Central Africa...

You're not very attractive, but the prince likes to save face; giving you a few hundred thousand to buy grain shouldn't be a problem."

Upon hearing that, Linda was so shocked she nearly dropped her eyeballs, exclaiming in disbelief, "That works too?"

Bathing in the screams of the unfortunate, Joe Ga grinned and said, "Princess Charlene is preparing backstage and she's carried a couple bottles of eye drops that she has still not used up; she's ready to go up 'asking' for a few hundred thousand more.

You aren't very pretty, but the opportunity is yours..."

Upon hearing this, Linda bit her lip, stomped her foot, applied some menthol to her hands and then rubbed her eyes vigorously, and pinched her thigh intensely, her eyes watery like a kind-hearted young girl, too tender-hearted to witness the convict's suffering.

As the Prince's whip lost its force, Linda took the chance to howl...

"Prince Highness, please stop..."

Whipping someone was physically demanding, and Prince Sayyid was indeed getting a bit tired at this point.

With her eyes reddened from crying, Linda appeared just in time to let him stop and rest the whip.
