Chapter 59: Connections (II)

"I'm really sorry to keep the three distinguished guests waiting." Margaret tugged at the hem of her skirt and saluted Becker and the others, her newly changed gown exposing the seductive curve of her chest.

Becker gestured to Akin, and then said with a smile: "It's just that we're here early, and this Harden brother of mine has admired Miss Margaret for a long time, and he has dreamed of hearing your beautiful singing, so he has been urging us to come earlier." ”

Margaret covered her mouth and chuckled, "In that case, I'm singing a song for Mr. Harden and the two gentlemen before dinner." ”

"That's a pity," Becker continued to play with superb acting skills, and added a temporary play, showing a look of annoyance and disappointment on his face, "I just remembered that I had some important things to do in the evening, and I'm afraid that Ah Jin and I won't be able to have dinner with you, so I can only ask my brother Harden to accompany you." ”

Becker's performance was a bit overexerted, Margaret's eyes were rolling, and she used her master's acting skills to teach him how to behave, her eyes darkened, and then she returned to the same as before, the time and heat were just right, so that Becker felt that she seemed to be equally disappointed that she couldn't have dinner with her, but she didn't seem to go too far, she kept it again, but at Becker's insistence, she still sent the two out of the door.

It's been a long time since I've played with anyone.

When he went out with Ah Jin, Becker looked back at the small western-style building where Margaret lived with some embarrassment, and then turned back to Ah Jin and said, "This chick is not simple. ”

"What?" Ah Jin didn't react, and asked subconsciously.

"How many servants, can they not even dare to take tips from distinguished guests who come to the door?" Becker dragged off his suit jacket, put it on his shoulder, and said to Ah Jin behind him without looking back as he walked forward, "People who go in and out of this kind of high-class courtesan mansion are either rich or expensive, and they are often generous for the sake of face, and they can even resist tipping when they are servants in such a place." ”

Becker smashed it and said: "I thought she was just a high-level warbler, but I didn't expect that she also had a bit of a skill, and she was very strict in governing her family." ”

"Oh!" Ah Jin seemed to react at this time, and suddenly realized: "Are you talking about the conversation with that maid before?" You were asking for information? ”

"And what do you think I'm doing?" Becker glanced back at Ah Jin with a smile, "Pickle girl?" ”

Ah Jin smiled: "It's not necessarily that she is good at running the family, maybe it's just that the little girl is relatively young, lacks experience, and hasn't worked there for a long time, so she is more timid and afraid?" ”

"She even knows Harden's identity, she must have been working there for a long time, and that kind of high-class courtesan is all sent to her family, and Margaret will send her to serve guests if she is not experienced enough? And let her open the door to welcome guests? Do you think Margaret would be that stupid? ”

Becker took out a pack of cigarettes from his arms, lit one for himself, and threw the cigarette to Ah Jin while teasing: "She must be smarter than she appears, at least much smarter than the maid you accosted, of course, she may also be really innocent by nature, impressed by my charm, so what kind of person she is depends on my progress tonight." ”

Ah Jin's face was only a little dark, but the thickness of his face was less than one-tenth of Becker's, his dark face could be faintly seen to be a little red, and he quickly lit a cigarette to hide his embarrassment: "You are so powerful, you think so much in such a short time, but why are you trying to think about this?" ”

"Connections, Akin, connections," Becker put his arm on Akin's shoulder, his hand holding a cigarette pointed to a mansion in the aristocratic district, "Margaret has a wide range of friends, especially in the upper class of this city, and knows many 'big people', she may just be a courtesan, and may not be able to occupy much of a big weight in the hearts of these people, but all I need is a recommendation from her, and I can talk to those characters for a few words." ”

"Aren't you curious why I wasted so much effort to help Harden make his wish come true?"

Becker took a heavy drag on his cigarette, and Mars seemed to brighten up as if echoing his next high-pitched tone: "There are many easier and safer jobs in this world than pirates, why do we choose to be pirates, Ah Jin?" To live a precarious life? To experience the fun of playing hide and seek with the Navy? If you're lucky enough to get a loot after the battle, you'll find that after a bloody battle, the cargo on the ship is a pile of shit that can't be sold, and then you'll have to face an angry captain who is worried that he'll piss on you, tell me, Ah Jin! Did you choose to be a pirate because you wanted to live this life? ”

Ah Jin shook his head, his eyes flickered a little, and he listened to Becker continue: "The investment and the return are completely disproportionate, we use our lives as capital to invest in this industry, and the income is such a thing?" Fuck it! We have the skills, dare to work hard, and are qualified to take more! ”

"And what do you want?"

"We formed our own fleet, since we even risked our lives, why should we be an obscure little minion, why can't we be sea pirates, the East China Sea is known as the weakest sea area among the four seas, Gordo. There have been no great sea thieves since Roger, and even Roger's execution in the East China Sea is regarded as a shame by the world! In the East China Sea, I don't know how many pirates are faintly looking forward to the day when they or others will regain their name for the people of the East China Sea, just like the original One Piece, Ah Jin ......, you tell me, you don't want to be such a great pirate? ”

Becker stared at Ah Jin's eyes tightly, Ah Jin felt that Becker's eyes were so oppressive for the first time, and Becker, who was smiling all day, suddenly said the above astonishing remarks, this contrast and Becker's very demagogic words inexplicably made Ah Jin a little heartbroken, which was different from the aura brought by Barbarossa's brutal rule.

"I'm still the same old saying," said Ah Jin after a moment of silence, throwing the cigarette butt to the ground and solemnly saying to Becker, "You saved me, I owe you a life, and I will follow you to whichever boat you are in!" ”

"Good brother!" Becker patted Ah Jin's back hard, laughed and returned to the previous topic: "We need connections to build our own fleet, Margaret is a network on the shore, Harden is a network at sea, he is a gunner, and it will be very useful for us to form our own team, so I want to win him over, the ship doctor, the helmsman, are all the connections we need to make." ”

Ah Jin nodded knowingly, and was suddenly stunned, Becker has been very cautious and did not say his true plans, Ah Jin now thought that Becker was preparing to leave the Redbeard Pirates in the future and form a new fleet, so after hesitating for a moment, he lowered his voice to Becker: "Do we have to rebuild the fleet?" With you and me working together, there may not be anything to do with Redbeard, and most of the people on the ship don't have much loyalty to him. ”

Becker was stunned for a moment, and seeing that Ah Jin didn't seem to be tempted after discovering his plan, he put his mind at ease and said with a smile: "That's indeed a ready-made team, but now is not the time to deal with Redbeard." ”
