Soon the two ships were in a parallel state, and we both chose to stop the ship in order to prevent accidents.

Fanny, who was standing at the bow of the boat, touched his mustache and said with a smile: "We are really fateful, why can we bump into each other every time?"

I said, "It's hard not to see you if you wander around the waters outside the Golden Islands every day, and you're holding back your stomach under the banner of a spice merchant." ”

"Saying this, why am I holding back my bad water? It's all for the sake of mixed food, and it's a last resort. ”

"Mixed food? In order for you to eat for yourself, you choose to eat people? Do you still have a bit of a conscience and a moral bottom line? ”

"Conscience?" Fanny sneered disdainfully, "Can conscience fill your stomach?" Can conscience allow me to live the life I want? I'm afraid not, and if not, what's the use of my conscience? If you ask me if I have a moral bottom line, then I can tell you that I am the bottom line. ”

"Shameless!" Lin Ruyi on the side really couldn't listen to it, and scolded angrily, Fanny looked at her, and then at the rifle she was carrying, and was a little jealous in her heart, and her body unconsciously retreated.

I'm too lazy to talk to this grandson, people like this have long been thicker than the city walls, and no matter how much I tell him, it's also playing the piano to the cow, last time because of him, it indirectly led to the tragic death of Suel's students, although I really want him to pay for it with blood, but now is not the time.

"Since we have different values, then there is nothing to talk about, we are going to the Golden Islands to meet Arthur now, what's the matter, you don't want us to sit on your ship, do you?"

"Since you are Lord Arthur's guests, I naturally won't embarrass you, I have also heard that you are rum merchants from Paradise Island, speaking of which, I admire you quite a lot, you dare to take the initiative to do business with pirates, I am afraid that there are not many in the world."

"Don't come to this set, I don't need your admiration, since you don't want to embarrass us, then leave." With that, I told the old captain to set sail quickly.

"Wait!" The mustache suddenly stopped us again, "We don't have anything to talk about, but someone wants to talk to you." As soon as he finished speaking, Leonard stepped out of the cabin onto the deck.

"Is that you?" The last time we came to the Golden Islands, Leonard had a fight with Bren on an uninhabited island, and in the end Leonard killed Bren with one shot, not only winning the game, but also avenging his father's murder. That incident caused a huge stir in the Golden Isles, and it caused a lot of gossip, and we never expected that he would be on the ship of the profiteer Vanney.

But speaking of which, we didn't have anything to do with Leonard before, and he shouldn't know us very well, so now that he wants to talk to us, what will he talk about?

Looking at my confused face, Leonard took the lead and said: "Mr. Han's courage is really admirable, and he really dares to be with pirates. ”

I didn't know what Leonard wanted to do, and naturally I couldn't tell whether he was friend or foe, so I could only say cautiously: "We are just rum merchants, as long as it is profitable, it is the same to do business with whomever it is." ”

"Mr. Han is too modest, and he who dares to do business with pirates will not be an ordinary person no matter what."

"Then I can't help if you have to say that, it's just that you and I didn't know each other before, you want to talk to me, I don't know what to talk about?"

"It's not convenient for us to stand and talk like this, why don't you come to our ship and let's sit down and talk?" Fanny's boat has a lot of good food and wine. ”

Your uncle's! What when I'm two hundred and five? Last time, I was deceived by Fannien and got on the boat, and I was put down after three glasses of wine, and I plan to use the same trick this time, is it too unskilled? I said to Leonard, "Forget it, I don't dare to get on Fanny's ship easily, or how about you come to our ship?" We don't have any food, but we have as much wine as we want. ”

"Good!" Leonard agreed without much thought, which was quite unexpected to me, and Leonard only got on our boat, not even a single man, and when he got on the boat, he told Fanny to sail the boat far away.

Uncle Wei carefully reminded me, "This guy is young but you must not underestimate him, you have to be careful." ”

"Hmm", I nodded and led Leonard into the cabin, how could someone who could fight the leader of the second pirate group in the Golden Islands be underestimated.

After entering the cabin, Leonard looked around, and then found a random place to sit down, without any defense, Lin Ruyi helped him get a glass of rum, Leonard took the glass and drank it all without thinking about it.

I sat across from Leonard with a frown, and I couldn't figure out what this kid was trying to do, why he was so good at suddenly appearing on Fanny's boat, and why he wanted to talk to me. Has he been waiting for me all this time? But it's not right, they probably don't know our exact departure date, if I don't come in a year, he will wait here for a year?

With all this confusion in mind, I asked Leonard, "What exactly do you want to talk to me about?" ”

"Cooperation! I want to work with you. Leonard said bluntly.

"Cooperation? What can we do together? Doing a rum business? But don't I already have a trade agreement with Arthur? Are you a family? ”

"Family?" Leonard shook his head with a smile and said, "Who said I was in the same family as him?" Arthur is Arthur and I am me. ”

Leonard was even more confused when he said this, and I asked, "What do you mean by that?" ”

"It's very simple, I want you to give up trade with Arthur and only do business with me in the future."

"This ......", I didn't know how to answer for a while, and wondered if something had changed on the Golden Isles since we left the Golden Islands last time. Leonard's request for me to abandon the trade agreement with Arthur is not in the water? Not to mention whether I am willing to trade with him, even if Arthur knows, I'm afraid he won't spare him, right?

"Why are you so embarrassed?" Seeing that I didn't accept his words, Leonard smiled and said, "As long as you promise to trade with me, I don't want any conditions that Arthur asks of you." ”

"Well, that's not the problem, and frankly Arthur didn't ask us for any conditions, but Arthur is the head of the Golden Isles Council and the leader of the largest pirate group in the Golden Isles, so aren't you afraid he'll deal with you if you do this?"

"But if he's not the head of the council, or the leader of the Golden Isles' largest pirate group, then do I need to be afraid of him? Do you still need to be afraid of him? ”

Leonar's words were like bombs, exploding between me and Uncle Wei, Arthur is no longer the head of the Golden Islands Council? Isn't it the leader of the largest island group in the Golden Isles? How much has happened to the Golden Isles?

It's been a while since we last left, but it's not that long.

I sorted out my thoughts, calmed down a little, and asked carefully, "Are you serious?" How much has the Golden Isles changed? ”

"He's a liar!" Without waiting for Leonard to speak, Sister Hua jumped out first and said: "When I left the Golden Islands, everything was normal on the island, and I didn't hear any rumors of great changes, Arthur's bad old man is very bad, scheming, and his many forces are huge, no one can replace him in the Golden Islands." ”
