Chapter 56: Negotiations
"Mr. Thomas, whether you are rich or not, I am afraid, still needs my consent. ”
An oily voice sounded, and a large bald head appeared on the holographic video of the pirate flagship.
"Who are you?"
In an instant, Thomas's eyes lit up.
He was very unhappy with the other party's attitude, obviously he was already meat on the cutting board, but he still had to put a large clove of garlic in front of him. For this kind of guy who likes to pretend to be forced, to be honest, Thomas doesn't know how many have been killed.
But in this world, the guy who pretends to be forced can't be killed.
"Brother, my name is Zhang Tianjiu, and I am currently the captain of the Royal Glory. Hello, Mr. Thomas!"
Zhang Tianjiu greeted Thomas with a smile.
"Why don't you brag about dying?"
All the pirates burst out laughing.
At first glance, this dead bald head knew that he was from the Changnan tribe, when would a fourth-class caste inferior person be able to be the captain of a Montani-class cruise ship? Not to mention that this kid was still so young, and he didn't know if he was thirty years old.
"There is one thing I think everyone misunderstood, before that, he was the captain of the Royal Glory, Mr. Gauss......"
As he spoke, Zhang Tianjiu pulled a middle-aged man in a captain's uniform under the camera. It can be seen that this Mr. Gauss is a man of elegant demeanor, and in the Visy Empire, ninety-nine percent of the elegant guys are nobles.
This is relatively reliable.
"But now, I'm the captain, and the Royal Glory's automatic vigilance system is under my control, do you need me to show you?"
Zhang Tianjiu smiled, full of confidence.
"No need. ”
Thomas's eyebrows furrowed.
Unexpectedly, there was civil strife on the Royal Glory, and this bald ruffian struck first and took control of the ship. Intuitively, Thomas knew that Zhang Tianjiu was definitely the same type of person as him. He has no higher education, and he spurns all things of benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and faith, and advocates hard fists is the principle of the boss.
On weekdays, he certainly didn't have a chance to rebel, but the Royal Glory had gone through so many things, it must have been a mess, and the captain's control was seriously weakened, and he finally cheapened this bald guy.
"Bald, what do you want to say?"
Thomas asked darkly.
Zhang Tianjiu smiled: "It's simple, I want energy blocks, water, and food." ”
"Your sister, Lao Tzu is a pirate, not a philanthropist. ”
Thomas was a little dizzy, when was it his turn to ask him for these things, wasn't he always asking for things from others? Who is the pirate?
"Know, I can exchange good things with you. ”
Thomas said disdainfully, "What good things do you have? Aren't you already gone?"
"At least I still have someone. ”
"What do you mean?"
"You pig-brained, Nima, this is the Royal Glory. On this ship, there were more than two thousand nobles. Including the Governor of Noreshin Grigory and his two sons. ”
The bald head shook his head as he spoke, as if he thought the pirate leader was too stupid.
"Don't believe it!"
Thomas snorted coldly.
Governor Gregory then appeared on the video.
"Acquaintance, huh?"
Zhang Tianjiu said triumphantly.
Thomas can't help but know him. Although he is a pirate, he also eats in the territory of the Weixi Empire, and he must know the important people in the royal family of the Weixi Empire. After all, this is an information age, and it is all too easy to see the public information of these important members of the royal family.
Moreover, as soon as Governor Gregory appeared on camera, the computer system automatically gave a match, proving that Zhang Tianjiu was not lying.
"So, is it time to negotiate?"
Zhang Tianjiu pushed Governor Gregory away, as rude as he wanted.
However, this one also completely dispelled the doubt in Thomas's heart, and it is certain that it is indeed this bald guy talking on the Royal Glory at present. Otherwise, give him great courage, and dare not push the Governor.
According to the laws of the Vesy Empire, such an offense was enough to be sentenced to death by hanging.
Members of the royal family are sacred and inoffensive, and inferiors are especially not allowed to offend.
"Bald, you stupid. These people are in your hands, but you are in my hands, and I will provoke Mao Lao Tzu and kill you all. ”
Zhang Tianjiu laughed, what annoyed him the most was this kind of air cannon.
"Then you won't be able to catch a single hair. You should know how much my nobleman, who has more than 2,000 men and women on board, is worth. Don't talk too much, give you a hundred, and you won't have to be a pirate for the rest of your life. ”
"I want it!"
Thomas yelled.
In fact, it wasn't just him, all the pirates on the three pirate ships went crazy. This is simply a pie-in-the-sky thing, if it weren't for the coincidence, where would they go to find a spaceship with more than two thousand nobles on board?
No matter how luxurious a cruise ship is, it is impossible to have such a spectacular situation.
It's not more than two thousand people, it's more than two thousand piles of moving cash, more than two thousand inexhaustible bank credit accounts. You can have as much money as you want.
"You can't eat it. ”
Zhang Tianjiu hit him unceremoniously.
"If you really dare to take away more than 2,000 nobles, even if you escape to the ends of the earth, it will be a dead end, and the Weixi Empire will never let you go. ”
Thomas shuddered.
He knew that what Zhang Tianjiu said was the truth, and the Weixi Empire would never allow anyone to slap the royal family so hard, and a single slap would be more than two thousand slaps. When the time comes, for the sake of the sky-high bounty order, the entire technological world will be against him.
Even destroying the Royal Glory directly will not work, the consequences are just as terrifying.
"What do you want?"
Thomas asked gloomily, gritting his teeth.
He found that this bald guy who looked a little silly was actually even more sinister than him.
This is a ruthless character, otherwise he would not have dared to hijack the Royal Glory and kidnap the Governor.
"Simple, or the same sentence, I give you a hundred nobles, you give me energy blocks, water and food. ”
"Two hundred!"
Thomas reflexively exclaimed.
It's called bargaining.
Zhang Tianjiu said with a smile: "There's no need to be greedy, there is actually no essential difference between one hundred and two hundred, the key is to get the money smoothly." ”
"Well, it's a hundred, but it must include the Governor. ”
Thomas was quick to make a decision. The bald head is right, a hundred nobles are enough for him to eat. But the Governor of Gregory was not just money, but a talisman. He was going to hold Governor Gregory hostage, and in case something happened, the royal family would be his lifeline.
"And his two sons. ”
Thomas added.
"Clever!"
Zhang Tianjiu stretched out his thumb.
"Send somebody. ”
"No, you sent it to me. ”
Thomas said slyly.
He won't be fooled into sending people over, this bald boy made it clear that the Royal Glory has an automatic alert system, and it is controlled by the bald head, in this case, no matter how many people he sends over, it will be a death. Of course, there is the threat of energy cannons, and this kid will not dare to move. But if you don't take precautions, you can't go wrong with being careful.
"Okay, I'll send it to you. ”
Who knew that Zhang Tianjiu did not hesitate and agreed.
Thomas became suspicious again: "Boy, you don't have any tricks, are you? Aren't you afraid that when you get on my ship, I'll even detain you?"
"I'm afraid!"
Zhang Tianjiu replied honestly.
"Then you dare?"
"What don't you dare? It's a big deal, if you dare to detain me, I'll blow up the ship...... I think it's better to get rich together, there's no need to work so hard, there is no injustice and no revenge. ”
Zhang Tianjiu said with a smile.
He seemed to be relaxed, and it seemed that he was really not afraid of Thomas buttoning him.
Thomas sighed secretly.
This kid is really a character, he doesn't suspect that Zhang Tianjiu is deliberately scaring him, it can be seen that Zhang Tianjiu is definitely the kind of ruthless character who dares to play with his life. Such a person may not be really afraid of death, but he knows the truth of putting death and rebirth.
Being able to successfully complete the handover and get a hundred nobles, Thomas was also satisfied, and did not want to make trouble. As this kid said, he can't eat more than 2,000 people anyway, so why not get rich together?
"Boss, are you really letting this kid get on the boat?"
The red-haired little boss next to Thomas asked, a little surprised.
"What are you afraid of? Come to our boat, what waves can he afford to turn?"
Thomas was unimpressed.
The little leader was very worried, and said, "Boss, what if this kid is mischievous?"
"It's okay, let John and Harris come over and take their mechs with them. ”
Only then did the little boss completely put his mind at ease.
There are two mechs here, so there is really nothing to worry about. A few guys with bare hands, at most with an energy gun, in front of the mecha, are completely no different from ants. Although John and Harris are still piloting an old-fashioned second-generation mecha, as long as it is a mecha, it can form an absolute crush for ordinary people without mecha protection.
At the same time, Xiao Taohong said in Zhang Tianjiu's mind: "Bald, I'm connected, there is no automatic alert system on this pirate ship." ”
The tone was a little depressed.
If only there was an automatic vigilance system, capturing this pirate ship would be like playing. You can kill all the pirates in an instant, and you don't have to do it yourself.
"It's okay, just let me get on board. ”
Zhang Tianjiu is full of confidence.
"Don't underestimate the enemy, there are almost a hundred people on board. ”
A hundred battle-hardened pirates, scattered across a labyrinth of spaceships, are really not so easy to pack. After all, on Zhang Tianjiu's side, there are only a few people who can really fight, such as Caroline, Wei Andong, and Sima Qinghou.
Those noble lords can't be counted on.
At critical moments, it's good that they don't make trouble.
Zhang Tianjiu smiled: "Don't worry, I don't plan to kill them all, my target is that boat and Thomas." Lao Tzu is not an anti-smuggling policeman, so he has no obligation to help them fight pirates. ”
Little Peach smiled: "That's what I said." With that ship and Thomas, we can find the pirate lair, and there will be enough energy blocks, drinking water, and food. ”
"By the way, we just need to live, there is no need to kill too many people. ”
Zhang Jiuye said this so mercifully.
