I have to say that although I still have some discrimination against Woodin from all sides - the reason is not clear - I have to admit that this guy is indeed a very attractive person.

From the outside, this large house is not small, but it does not look very magnificent. But when I entered the house, I was greeted by a dazzling color! Gold lamp silver jade bench, silk and satin pretty woman. The things in the whole house up and down, inside and out, can only be described in two words, that is, luxury!

Not to mention the two gorgeous women who are similar to personal secretaries who are followed by Wu Ding, just look at the other maids who serve are quite extraordinary, and they should be dressed in a poor and extravagant manner, I feel that the decoration style of this family is eight words: only choose the expensive, not the right one.

I even think that he has a lot of things here that don't matter about performance - such as the gold-edged ivory-faced rocking chair, in terms of comfort, it is certainly not as comfortable as the rattan chair, but it is not important to Wooding.

"As long as it's expensive! I like expensive things. It doesn't matter if it's vulgar or not, I've never prided myself on being elegant! In my opinion, the most expensive is the best! The most expensive is the most stylish! Woodin was holding the crystal glass, and the maid on his left was pouring him a glass of amber wine, he said.

I like this kind of straightforward vulgarity - the so-called vulgarity is elegance, and the "real villain" is at least cuter than the "hypocrite", right?

Wooding sipped the wine and looked at me with a smile, but did not speak. I picked up my glass, took out the red wine I had tasted from my previous life, shook it gently, and after a few laps, put it in front of my nose and smelled it. Then he looked up and pecked, tasted the product, and then raised his head and drank it all.

Slow, soft applause came from the other side. I put down the cup and applauded none other than Hu Wudin, a professional who pretended to be a letterman. He applauded elegantly and said with a smile: "I thought that Mr. Sun was a good hand on the battlefield and a good master in strategy, but I didn't expect that he would be so superb in terms of life taste!" ”

As he spoke, he waved his hand slightly, and the gorgeous woman on the left walked up to me on her knees and poured me red wine again. Wu Ding continued to smile in his characteristic feminine tone: "Just from Mr. Sun's wine tasting just now, it can be seen that he must have had a long experience of high-level social life, and that is by no means a disguise!" Right? ”

I laughed and didn't say anything. In the stunt of pretending letters, in fact, I am more mellow and low-key luxury than Woodin! After all, compared to the local tyrant atmosphere he built up with gold clothes, it is better to pretend that I don't eat fireworks in the world!

Unexpectedly, this time it poked Woodin's itch. He was born in a wealthy family since he was a child, and when he grew up, he relied on his family's power and resources to do a prosperous career throughout the Western Pacific. In his words, he doesn't worry about food, clothing, life without pressure, and he has played everything he can in the world before he was ten years old. What else can you do besides style?

So he embarked on this road of no return that was repeatedly refined. In his opinion, all good things have not reached the extreme, as long as you find a way, you must be able to have a more perfect decoration plan. Therefore, around him, everything that is not beautiful, things that are not expensive, things that do not show his status, status, and style, are all sinful! They should all be removed!

And so there is all this in front of you. Later, I also learned that the reason why the Wooding Chamber of Commerce and the Kaplan Chamber of Commerce are so incompatible is that of course there is the problem of the old people's grievances, but Woodin's deep and soulful contempt and disdain for Kaplan, who is also a rich man, is the fundamental reason why the two sides are really pushed to the mortal enemy!

In Woodin's words, "How can I sail in the same ocean with such a vulgar fellow?" This is an insult to my personality! Imperfect inferior creatures must be removed! ”

Although I suspect that these words may have been a figure of speech used by Wooding to express his high style in private, they reached Kaplan's ears word for word! And so a full-scale war broke out between the two sides!

I think no matter who is replaced, it is impossible to be indifferent when I hear a "sissy" twenty years younger than me humiliate myself like this!

So this dozen is more than ten years. Although Woodin's overall strength is stronger and the battle is more courageous, Kaplan has the support of the Mughal Empire behind him, so ten years have passed, and the two sides still haven't decided a winner! A few days ago, Woodin, who was on vacation near the Gulf of Aden, heard that someone had pretended to be his own name to win Kaplan!

The news made him very happy! Very excited! He wasn't worried about his name being borrowed, especially when it came to something like the fight against Kaplan. For him, something as illusory as fame is worthless, and what he values more is the thing he values - the elimination of filthy Kaplan.

"So, would you like to work with me? Mr. Sun? Wooding's voice came again: "The enemy of the enemy is the friend, although I don't know the specific motive for your attack on the Kaplan Chamber of Commerce......"

Woodin smiled and continued, "Because as far as I know, Kaplan's treatment of the Blade Sea Chamber of Commerce that invaded the Eastern Indian Ocean is not extreme! But I guess you must have your own reasons, right? As long as you have your motivation and our goals are aligned, that's enough! ”

I picked up my glass, tasted it lightly again, and smiled, "Then please tell me, what do I get if I form an alliance?" ”

Wooding was stunned by my question, and then laughed and said, "Money! Belle! Status! Trade Routes! Everything you need, you can get it from me! I appreciate people like you! So I'm generous! Isn't it? ”

I shook my head, but didn't speak. Wu Ding's face gradually calmed down, and he asked in a deep voice, "What?" Isn't this enough to pay the consideration for the alliance? ”

I pursed my lips and laughed, "No! That's not what I want! This is not what I appeal to my allies! ”

Hearing what I said, Woodin rekindled his interest and asked, "Tell me, then, what do you want from your allies?" ”

I stared fixedly into Woodin's eyes, stretched out a finger and said, "Trust!" "I'm not lying, I'm not pretending to be profound. Ever since I was betrayed by Uncle Suzuki and traveled to another world, the most important thing I value is trust!

Whether it is Qi Dudu, Ye Sizhong, or the second uncle who gradually became familiar with me later, or the many people of this or that kind around me, all I need is trust! "Everything else can be created, but trust must be natural!" I said, staring at Wooding with my eyes fixed on me.

This cynical aristocratic man, who had always behaved, finally showed a solemn look. He looked at me with a very complicated expression, and said lightly for a long time: "Mr. Sun, you are a very interesting person!" I appreciate your straightforwardness! I appreciate your answer too! Because what you need is exactly what I lack the most! ”

As he spoke, he stretched out his hands, gently hugged the two character beauties beside him, and continued to whisper: "In this world, the only people I can fully trust are Emily and Larasim!" What you want is too extravagant! Mr. Sun! ”

I nodded, smiled a little, and then said softly, "For everyone, there is their own persistence. For you, Mr. Wooding, the most precious thing is trust. For me, trust is the most precious thing! But we cherish trust in a different way! Since we can't talk about it now, it's better for us to put aside the controversy and talk about it later! ”

Wooding snorted and said loudly, "This is the best choice." Mr. Sun! I appreciate your straightforwardness, you are never false and wronged, and you deserve to be a real man who is famous all over the world! ”

With that, he stood up and saluted me, "This is the first time I've saluted someone in a few years, Mr. Sun, even if we can't become allies in the future, I think at least we're friends, right?" ”

I saluted Wooding back and smiled, "Of course, we've always been friends!" ”

Before leaving, Wooding gave me a brooch that, in his words, represents "the camaraderie of friends." And it is said that wearing this thing has an unexpected effect in the western Indian Ocean. I was noncommittal, and after thinking about it, the seedlings that were given to Woodin for a pair of whale sharks were naturally one male and one female!

Woodin's eyes glowed magically! He exclaimed, "Is this Aisha's cub?" Seeing my puzzled eyes, he patted his head and said, "Oh! It's a huge whale shark in the nearby waters! I chased her for two months, and she finally ran away! ”

I smiled and said, "If you're talking about a big guy who's about thirty-five steps long, I think it's true." Hope it's not your friend! Because it's in our stomachs! ”

Wooding laughed and said, "Of course not! I chased her just because I was interested in the fry in her belly! You see, that's fate! Didn't I get it? Thank you, my friend! ”

I smiled slightly, waved my hand, and left with everyone, leaving Wooding, who was excitedly holding the water tank, still waving behind me, watching me until I couldn't see it.

To be honest, I don't want to stay here any longer, but there are a few things that I have to take care of before I can leave.

First of all, I need to buy one or two ships - at least medium-sized ones, of course, to make up for the lack of combat effectiveness caused by the damage of our fleet No. 4.

I took a group of people to the shipyard and took a turn, and there were a few ships that were okay, but they were either like this or that, there were always some flaws, and the manufacturing cycle was relatively long. But I didn't have time to wait, so I asked Mavi to ask the boss if there was a suitable second-hand ship?

The boss, a man in his forties, listened to my request, and his face was quite impatient, but suddenly he caught a glimpse of the brooch that I had inadvertently hung on his chest—the squirrel-like and mouse-like brooch that Woodin had given me, and his face suddenly became respectful!

Mavi relayed the boss's words: "Yes! Yes! Some! We have excellent second-hand boats, all of which have been repaired to perfection! Please come with me! The little one will show you the way! After saying that, this middle-aged man took the lead!

I wondered why this guy had the same reaction. After thinking about it, there is only one reason - this brooch on my chest! It seems that this Woodin has given me a really good thing!

When I came to the dock by the sea, I saw the big guy docked at Pier 2 at a glance! It was a massive Venetian battleship! The overall model of this kind of ship is comparable to that of the Galen warship, or even larger, because it is used at the same time, it may require more manpower, but it has more advantages than the Galen warship in speed, steering, and white-knuckle combat!

If there is any flaw in this ship, it is - there are fewer shelling ports! This kind of ship is not based on shelling in terms of innate design, so in general, the level of shelling is about the same as my current medium-sized ship, even if it is stronger, it is very limited!

"Your honorable sir, this Venetian battleship is the belongings of an Italian captain stranded here - of course, he owes a great deal of money, and this ship has already been charged! I'll give you a 7% discount if you need it! Of course, this is a consistent discount for the Wooding family! The boss rubbed his hands together and said flatteringly.

Soon, my fleet was again restored to the formation of five ships. And the flagship has jumped from a medium-sized ship between the fourth and fifth classes to a large ship between the second and third stages! This makes me feel more confident about crossing the East African coastline!

Of course, this ship still needs some upgrades, it will take a little time, I naturally looked at the transformation with joy, completely unaware that in the tall building not far away, Wooding, who was holding a wine glass, looked at my back with a smile and muttered: "Are you still satisfied with this gift?" My friend! ”
