Chapter 251
"Is the story about you true, sir? You were the Governor of Florida for a while. Lawrence Prince asked Torres.
"Ah, yes." "I'm not the only one in our family who holds public office, I'm part of a political family," Torres said. ”
"I've never considered politics myself, unless I feel like I have too much money or I won't live for a few years."
You will be played to death by others at every turn.
"Speaking of stories, Prince......" Torres asked, after a moment's thought, "I heard that you were with Henry Morgan the day he captured Panama, in 1671, didn't you?" ”
Nassau? This guy used to be a pirate hunter?
"Oh, yes, that's right. But we don't have to be overly reverent for the glory we have worked so hard to win on the battlefield. Recalling that war, Lawrence Prince said, "It was a deadly war, a battle that cost a lot of money and resources to win." ”
"It wasn't until years later that I put away my sword for safety, and for a more lucrative cause. Capital and resources, this is the basis for making money. And, sir, let me tell you. The glory you buy is more enjoyable than the glory you win, after all, how long can the sense of glory last? ”
"I'm already getting a little tired of leaving, aren't I?"
This is already the second time Torres has asked this question. In the face of Lawrence Prince's eloquent talk, Torres was running out of interest. He didn't want to ask that question a third time.
Lawrence Prince felt that the road was not long, and he was not very happy with Torres' impatience.
"We've got to find a balance, you know? I don't trust the Templars anymore, just as you don't need to trust me. ”
The Templars had faith, while Lawrence Prince now only believed in money, gold. As such, he didn't like the Templar way of doing things. Like what he said before.
"Well, if I had known that you were such a mother-in-law, I would have sent you a bouquet of flowers."
"Ah, I don't know why I ...... like this" Lawrence Prince actually thought about the reason seriously, and then explained to Torres: "It must be because of the money, after all, it's a lot of money." ”
Faced with the conversation between the two guys, Amami Shu has automatically 'blocked' those useless information. There was no useful information at all in the conversations along the way.
Lawrence Prince stopped suddenly.
"You said you came alone, Torres?"
Torres understood what Lawrence Prince meant. "Not alone, but absolutely no other tracking," he explained. I'm on a ......."
He thought for a moment and said, "A brig of an English merchant has arrived. ”
"Get the money out." Lawrence Prince said directly.
Torres pulled out a money bag from the leather bag around his waist, which was full of gold coins. The sound of a large number of gold coins colliding with each other in his hand is very pleasant to hear.
"It's part of the ransom, and the rest of the money is nearby."
As he spoke, he threw the red money bag in his hand to the other party.
Lawrence Prince did not put away the money bag, but looked at the money bag in his hand and asked, "It hurts my heart to have to sell people of my race for profit, Mr. Torres, tell me again, did that fellow Roberts do anything that upset you?" ”
"Why all of a sudden?"
His tone was wrong, Torres could hear it, but he was puzzled.
Lawrence Prince threw the money bag back in his hand and turned to leave.
"This business will be negotiated next time."
"What?"
Torres raised his voice, enduring the nagging of an old guy for half a day, only to suddenly say that he would talk about it next time. If it weren't for the fact that the Sage was still in the hands of this guy, he might have directly slammed the old man in front of him with a gun.
"Next time you want to look for it, please choose a time when you are not being tracked!" Lawrence Prince pointed to a bush around him and shouted, "Deal with them!" ”
Torres saw that the situation was not right, and also hurried away. The surrounding soldiers drew their weapons at the same time and gathered around the bush that Lawrence Prince was pointing at.
"Alas, it's really helpless."
Amami Shu said with a sigh, and then slowly stood up from the bushes. But there were no soldiers around him.
Naturally, it won't be Amami Shu who will be discovered, but James Kidd, who has also been tracking him from the beginning of the port. Hatred made her less agile and exposed her figure. In order to save her, Amami Shu also had to give up tracking those two people.
Six soldiers surrounded James Kidd in the bushes, forcing her to emerge from the bushes as well. Taking advantage of the fact that the soldiers' attention was on James Kidd, Amami Shu quickly used his Hidden Blade to deal with one of the soldiers when he touched them. The other hand stabbed the [Sword of Eden] in his hand and plunged into the back of the soldier's heart. The tip of the sword pierced through the soldier's chest, finally attracting the attention of the other soldiers.
The soldiers' attention shifted to Amami Shu, and James Kidd saw the opportunity to strike immediately. She pulled out a pistol pinned to her waist and fired a shot at the nearest soldier.
With a "bang" of gunshots, the corpses of the soldiers who lost their lives slowly fell to the ground. Half of the six soldiers were dead in the blink of an eye, and only three remained. And Tianjian Xiu didn't stop his movements at all.
He withdrew his Hidden Blade, strode in front of the soldier, and slashed down with the [Eden Holy Sword] in his hand, and the soldier saw this, and hurriedly used the saber in his hand to block Tianjian Xiu's attack. However, he underestimated the strength of Amami Shu, and after the two weapons collided, the sword in the soldier's hand was cut into a large gap. A small piece of the blade was slashed out by Amami Shu's weapon, and at the same time, the soldier's sword was also taken out of his hand and stuck in the ground.
Amami's other hand threw out his Hidden Blade and stabbed the soldier in the throat.
The only two remaining soldiers tried to stop them, but they were stopped by James Kidd, who rushed up. After dealing with the soldier, Amami turned around and eliminated the last two.
He stepped forward and grabbed James Kidd by the shoulder, stopping her from continuing to pursue the figure.
"Don't chase ...... yet"
Before Amami Shu's words were finished, James Kidd grabbed the arm on his shoulder with his backhand and twisted it. Amami Shu also reacted quickly, moved his body, grabbed the wrist that grabbed him with his left hand, and turned his whole body around. At the same time, he stretched out his free right hand and grabbed James Kidd's neck. Then he squatted down and pressed the other person to the ground.
James Kidd writhed his body, trying to break free from Amami's grasp, but he couldn't move at all.
"Don't be too impulsive." Amami Shu advised the other party while reducing his strength slightly.
"I'm not used to working with women."
"Let go of me!" James Kidd shouted loudly, feeling that Tianjian Xiu's strength was a little less, but he didn't dare to move. Because she knew she couldn't break free.
"It's okay to let go, but you have to promise me not to kill Prince yet." Amami Shu put forward his own conditions.
"Good! I promise you. Forced by force, James Kidd compromised Amami's request.
Amami Shu let go of his hand and pulled the other party up.
"I don't explain too much, Prince won't live for a few days, and I kept him because I wanted to meet the Sage."
