Chapter 60: Murderous Intent
Chapter 60: Murderous Heart
Margaret's boudoir smelled of perfume and drilled into Harden's nose, making him feel very good. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Harden sat on the bed, topless, revealing a stout body covered with crisscrossing scars, and across from him, Margaret had her back to the window, the moonlight shining through the translucent curtains on the room, and the bright moonlight reflected on Margaret's body, making her thin pajamas faintly reveal a moving body.
Harden is not a junior brother, but he still feels nervous, his eyes are not only ****, but also more special, he asked hopefully: "You, do you remember me?" ”
Margaret was stunned for a moment, and tilted her head slightly in confusion, but she reacted quickly when she was used to Fengyue occasions, with a charming smile, slowly walked towards Harden, stretched out her soft hair to remove the bangs on his forehead, looked down at Harden's young face, and said softly in a panicked tone: "Of course I remember." ”

Lacey walked into the room and glanced around to find Barbarossa, curled up on the couch like a mountain of meat.
Barbarossa's face flushed almost the same color as his beard, and Lacey kicked open the empty bottles on the floor and came to the other side, while motioning with his eyes to the warblers who had accompanied Barbarossa to leave the house.
Lacey was majestic, burly, and exuded the ferocity of an old bandit, and half of his face was burned, so ordinary people would be afraid to look at him, Barbarossa had not given money, and a few warblers left the house in fear although they were reluctant.
"Lacey, you're here too?" Barbarossa looked at his deputy captain with drunken eyes, and his most trusted relative, and burped, "I'm in a bad mood, come and have a few drinks with me!" ”
Reis looked at the depressed Barbarossa, his ugly face showed a little sadness, he knew best, Barbarossa was also a high-spirited pirate in his early years, the three of their cousins went to sea together, and they also dreamed of going to the Great Voyage, but one died, one was disfigured, and one was depressed.
"Big brother," Lacey said on the outside, but on the inside, he always called Barbarossa the captain in front of people, trying to maintain the authority of the other party, and only used the affectionate address when he was alone, "you should be careful Becker, that little imp is not as honest as it seems." ”
Barbarossa didn't know, but Lacey, who had been in charge of the daily affairs of the ship, knew that Becker had been buying people's hearts, if Becker was just an ordinary sailor, Lacey would have tied him up and thrown him into the sea to feed the fish, but now after Wood's death, even Laces, who was the deputy captain, could not easily attack Becker, the only navigator on the ship.
"Only a mediocre person would be honest on a pirate ship," Barbarossa said drunkenly as he propped himself up, "Do you think that kid looks like a mediocre person?" ”
Barbarossa wiped his face indiscriminately, and seemed to have regained some energy, and while handing Lacey a glass of wine, he said disdainfully: "We also came from his age, and he can almost guess what he is thinking, nothing more than taking control of a ship on the sea, and eventually gaining fame and fortune, and even delusionally thinking of venturing on the great voyage, Becker is quite smart among his peers, not stupid enough to venture alone, knowing how to recruit some people on my ship, but unfortunately he is still too tender, I don't know that a person's biggest capital at sea is strength, even if he breaks away from my fleet and attracts a few old people, as long as I am here, he will not be able to become a climate in the East China Sea, and the old people on the ship also know this, and if he wants to go to the great voyage, he is purely looking for death, how many people on the ship will follow him? ”
Reis raised his head and drank all the wine in the wine glass, exhaled comfortably, and said, "Then we don't have to worry about him?" ”
"Don't worry until you find a new navigator," Barbarossa said hatefully, "and if Hayreddin were still alive, such an important position would not need to be held by outsiders." ”
Absurd, in modern times on the earth, with the development of navigation technology, there are more and more branches of technology on board, and the pirate ship has become an extension of democracy, and the captain may only be a man or a slave who can be executed casually, on the contrary, the captain is often dismissed or even expelled, although in this world because of personal force, the pirates who can become captains often have strong strength and will not be easily dismissed or expelled, but obviously follow the inevitable law of the development of things, and the sea still treats human beings equally, No matter how strong you are on the vast sea, you can't find the direction or you can't find the direction, if you get sick at sea without doctors and medicines, you can still die, although Barbarossa tyrannically often punishes the crew, but rarely targets the irreplaceable important personnel such as doctors and navigators on the ship, and obviously understands that they are indispensable on the ship.
Barbarossa turned her head to look at Lacey, her gaze lingering slightly on the horrible scar on the other man's face, and then she turned back guiltily and poured herself another glass of wine.

While Barbarossa and Lacey discuss Becker, Becker also takes Arkin to a tavern in the ghetto.
The hall on the first floor was filled with the smell of sweat and alcohol, and a few scantily clad waitresses weaved among a group of sailors, workers, and peasants on the lower floors of the city, occasionally smiling after being rubbed with oil, and then smiling again after receiving a tip.
Becker glanced at the mixed hall, and then led Ah Jin up to the second floor, where there were not many guests, and Becker saw Tony and the others sitting in the corner at a glance.
"Tony," after the two men at Tony's table gave up their seats, Becker sat down across from Tony, pointing to Ah Jin, who was also seated, and introduced, "This is Ah Jin, and we are a group." ”
Tony shrugged his eyelids and nodded at Ah Jin, he thought that he was Becker's original team, and he had participated in assisting Becker a lot of times, so he felt that his status was higher than Ah Jin, who joined the gang later.
Luckily, Ah Jin is not a person with a lot of vanity, and he doesn't seem to be troubled by Tony's attitude.
Several of Tony's subordinates knew that Becker and the others were going to talk, so they occupied several wine tables around them to separate the surrounding drinkers.
"Can you do it now?" Tony glanced at Arkin and asked Becker.
"I'll do it myself this time," Becker muttered, "and Lacey isn't as easy to deal with as Wood, and I'm going to make sure nothing goes wrong." ”
Reis has been at sea for many years, licking blood with a knife, and has rich experience in fighting for life, although Tony also consciously exercised himself and his subordinates after the Denton incident, but it is still impossible to be Reis's opponent, and if he wants to be foolproof, he still needs Becker to take action himself.
In this world where personal force is strong enough to influence the overall strength of a fleet, Koshiro's one-hearted swordsmanship is no longer just a fighting technique, but equivalent to the brilliant military technology of the previous life, and the actual combat experience is of course very important, but the combat knowledge explored alone may not be as good as the systematic learning under the guidance of a famous teacher, not to mention that Becker is not without actual combat experience, and he has been hiding his strength in several naval battles of the Redbeard Pirates before, plus he has calculated unintentionally, It is more certain that he will personally deal with Reis.
"I'm here to help, too." Ah Jin proposed.
"No," Becker shook his head, "your task is to provide me with an alibi. ”
"Alibi proof? Do you need it? Ah Jin asked.
"Yes!" Becker nodded earnestly.
