The saying "since we're already here" applied to everyone. After thinking it over, Salman found himself agreeing with Su Chen's suggestion. They had gone to so much trouble to get into the mountains; wouldn't it be a huge loss of face if they didn't bag some game?
After all, members of his royal family cared about nothing more than face. Back when he was buying a yacht, he and Bill Gates had both set their sights on the same luxury model, the Serena. The vessel was so opulent it could carry a small, all-electric submarine and a sightseeing helicopter.
At the time, Bill Gates had already offered 250 million USD. When Salman heard this, he went straight to the owner with an offer of 550 million USD. The owner was so impressed by his extravagance that he knocked 50 million US Dollars off the price, settling for an even 500 million US Dollars.
If he went hunting and came back empty-handed, his royal brothers would mercilessly mock him if they ever found out.
