Chapter 458: Secret Talk

Beckett put away the silver coins in front of him, and then asked with a light smile: "I just saw that you still have some questions about the list of pirates wanted, if you have anything to say, you can just say it." ”

James thought for a moment and said: "Lord Lord, this list of yours is actually the list of the nine pirate kings, but I think that it is far more than these nine pirate kings who pose a threat to the world's oceans, and there is one most important person, which you have overlooked." ”

"Oh?" Beckett laughed, "Will? Elizabeth? ”

James shook his head, "Will is just a blacksmith with no brains, Elizabeth...... was only pushed out by fate, she is not a pirate. ”

This is, of course, to say good things about Will and Elizabeth.

Governor Swan, who was originally expressionless, couldn't help but glance at Will at this time.

Beckett asked, "So who do you think is the real threat?" ”

James said in a deep voice, "Fengfeng." ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Maple? Beckett took a deep breath, "Hmm, that kid...... He took me hostage and robbed me of my privateer license, and I have to say that he was very cunning indeed. ”

James said: "He and Xiaofeng are both Tang people, and once the two of them join forces, I'm afraid the whole ocean will be turned upside down." ”

Beckett nodded slightly, "You're right, Matherβ€”"

"Yes." Mather hurriedly put down the knife and fork in his hand and stood upright.

Beckett said lightly: "You go to Singapore, find out Howling Wind's lair, find a way to kill Howling Wind, and get his token." As for the guy named Xu Feng, if you see him, you will also kill him. His bounty is...... 100,000 gold coins. ”

Mather hesitated, "One hundred thousand gold coins?" Wouldn't you be too updainous with that kid? He's not even a captain now, he's just a first mate at best, and we're all on our wanted list, and those pirate captains don't just own one ship! ”

Beckett smiled faintly: "I know, that's why I offered him 100,000 gold coins, if that kid is the captain himself, I'm afraid his head will be worth at least 500,000 gold coins." ”

Mather opened his mouth, "...... Yes, I see, I'm going to take people to Singapore. Oh yes, there's one more thing I have to report before I leave. ”

Beckett said, "Say it. ”

Mather said: "Recently, the flying Dutchman has been a little disobedient, their Poseidon beast has died, the exact cause of death is not too clear, but David Jones did not obey our orders to capture the passing merchant ships, but sank them directly, as if to vent his anger. ”

Beckett frowned slightly, "Is there any merchant ship from our British Empire that was sunk by the Flying Dutchman?" ”

"Not really," said Mather. ”

Beckett sneered: "That means he's not crazy, he's just demonstrating to me." I have his heart, and he dares to be so presumptuous, it's really too undeserved, tomorrow, we will go to David Jones on the Struggle, and I will show him who is the real master of this ocean. ”

"Yes!"

"Alright, let's go on, Commander James, and you can eat some too." Beckett laughed.

"Yes." James mechanically forked up a slice of Spanish ham.

…… After the dinner, Beckett left with his men. In the huge dining room, there were only servants busy cleaning up the dishes, as well as James and Governor Swan, who sat opposite each other.

James said with difficulty: "Governor Swan...... I'm sorry. ”

Governor Swan said coldly: "You betrayed Elizabeth, this is not a word of sorry that can be solved. ”

James hurriedly said: "No, I didn't betray Elizabeth, I was bent on pulling her out of the pirates, but she had fallen too deep. ”

Governor Swan said, "If you hadn't stolen their Davy-Jones Heart, it wouldn't be what it is today." ”

James said bitterly: "I'm not a saint, I have to save myself first." ”

Governor Swan sneered, "So, are you saved now?" Is your salvation a matter of putting on decent clothes and eating delicious food? Do you wash your hands when you get home at night? Can the blood of those innocents you hang today be washed away? Can you fall asleep while lying under the covers? When you close your eyes, won't the faces of those innocents appear in front of you? ”

James was dumbfounded by questioning.

He has worked with Governor Swan for more than ten years, Governor Swan has always been amiable, although Governor Swan is indeed a bit snobbish and vain, but that is not a shortcoming at all, James is the first time to see Governor Swan speak so sharply.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Perhaps, I don't blame you. Governor Swann suddenly changed his words, sighed heavily, and said, "Didn't I also give in to Beckett for the sake of my life?" From this point of view, we are all equally pathetic and pathetic. ”

James' heart was filled with sorrow.

Governor Swan picked up a glass of undrunk wine and drank it down, his pale face flushing.

James knows that he has never been strong enough to drink, and he rarely drinks alcohol, and this time he drank was naturally unusual.

James already had a vague premonition in his heart that Governor Swan had something to say to him.

Governor Swan poured himself another glass, but instead of a drink, he waved his hand to the maid who was cleaning up, and said, "Go down first." ”

"Yes, Lord Governor." The maids put down their work and bowed their knees.

Governor Swan pursed his lips, "Commander, no, James, have you ever wondered what to do next?" ”

James was stunned, then slowly shook his head.

He's a walking dead now, and he's going to do whatever Beckett tells him to do.

He hated it, but he couldn't change it.

Governor Swan lowered his voice and said, "We can't sit idly by like this, Beckett is just using us now, using us as tools, once the Caribbean Sea and other seas are cleared, once the East Indo Trading Company rules the shipping lanes of the entire ocean, then we will no longer be of use." What's more, Beckett's approach to purging pirates is even more evil than the pirates themselves! We cannot allow him to run amok any longer, and I have written a letter to Parliament on his return to London, impeaching Lord Beckett! If you can co-sign with me, then our success rate will be greatly improved. ”

James was stunned, "Governor Swan, I don't know...... Isn't that right? ”

Governor Swan said angrily, "James! You've disappointed me so much! Where has all your blood gone? Lost in the Caribbean? ”

James said bitterly: "I finally crawled out of the pirate pile, I really don't want to live that kind of life, I ......"

James couldn't go on.

Governor Swan stood up and gave James a cold look of contempt, "You have disappointed me, Commander, but it's good that my Elizabeth didn't choose you as his husband." Today's matter, if you want to snitch, then whatever you want. ”

With that, Governor Swan shook his hand and left.
