Chapter 362: Showdown (1)

In Ding Ying's impression, Robert has always been a scholar who has no quarrel with the world, although he is not very old, he has made high achievements in his professional field, and he has the best relationship with himself on the Hypotis, and usually takes care of himself, in addition, as a young girl in her twenties, Ding Ying can also vaguely feel Robert's special feelings for herself, although he has never expressed it very directly, but all kinds of concerns have explained everything, but in Ding Ying's heart, has always treated Robert as an older brother.

Whether it was on the Hypotis or when escaping from the Hypotis, Robert showed his indifference and lack of desire for fame and fortune, and even took the initiative to persuade Alexander and others not to have too many thoughts on the escape capsule, Ding Ying really couldn't understand why Robert suddenly appeared on Paradise Island now, and even thought about ruling the world? What did he experience that changed his mind significantly? Or has he always been like that?

Ding Ying asked me, "What do you want Robert to do?" And what is this pill he gave you? ”

"Robert's meaning of looking for me is also very simple, it is nothing more than wanting to work together, as for this pill, it can temporarily alleviate the side effects of Demerol, and he doesn't have the medicine that can really eliminate Demerol Phenate now, of course, I don't believe this nonsense, he just wants An An to hold me hostage."

"I didn't expect him to be such a person!" Ding Ying was very angry, she didn't expect Robert Sven to have such a vicious heart under his appearance, she said to me: "I'm sorry, I didn't expect him to be such a person." ”

I shook my head and smiled bitterly, "It's okay, it's not your fault, just by looking at his appearance, I wouldn't have imagined that he would be like that." It's just that now it seems that your colleagues are nowhere near as simple as you think. ”

"Huh?" Ding Ying frowned and asked me, "What do you mean?" ”

"Quite simply, those of your colleagues didn't come up with the idea of dominating the world when they fled the Hypotis, and I think they probably started preparing for it very early. I ask you, did they leave the Hypotis empty-handed? ”

Ding Ying thought for a while and then shook her head and said, "It doesn't seem to be, each of them seems to have a bag on their backs, only I was called by Robert in a hurry, so I didn't bring anything." ”

"That's right, those colleagues of yours probably knew early on that something was going to happen to the Hypotis, so they started to prepare for the evacuation a long time ago, of course, they know very well, because you are not a core team member of Dr. Statham, and all the core technology is in the hands of Dr. Statham, so even if you can escape the Hypotis, it is unlikely that you will return to Earth, and you can only flee to the nearest planet Landis. After escaping to Landis, the human beings here are in a relatively backward state in terms of thinking and scientific productivity due to the influence of the memory modification program, which gives them hope for world domination. ”

"I can understand what you're saying, but why did Robert deliberately make that statement? Even if he said that he wanted to rule the world, at most I would be the only one who would persuade him, so why was there any need to act in such a play? ”

"Well, this question is really difficult to answer, and it stands to reason that he really doesn't need to say that on purpose, maybe you can only understand it by asking him in person, I guess he really cares about you? Don't want to leave you with a bad impression? ”

Ding Ying rolled her eyes at me speechlessly, "What are you going to do next?" Do you really want to cooperate with Robert to fulfill his dream of world domination? ”

"I told you a long time ago that I have no interest in ruling the world or anything, but now that the trees want to be quiet and the wind does not stop, I don't want to wade into this troubled water."

Just as Ding Ying and I were discussing the next countermeasures, Duke Jackson suddenly sent someone to me, saying that there was something very important to talk to me about, and that it must be nothing good for Nima's old fox to talk to me when he first came to Paradise Island, but I couldn't refuse, so I had to go to the Governor's Palace.

When I arrived at the Governor's Palace, the soldiers on duty at the gate were all soldiers of the original island guards, and after entering the courtyard, they were dressed like soldiers I had never seen before, looking at the mental state of those soldiers, and the layout of the clothes on their bodies, they should all be similar to the Royal Praetorian Guard.

After going around and around, I was taken to the office of the former governor, where Duke Jackson was already waiting for me, and in addition to him, there was Count Soros.

When I saw Count Soros, I smiled and asked him, "Is the Count alright?" Those damn pirates didn't hurt you, did they? Count Soros also smiled and said, "Thank you Mr. Han for your concern, I'm all right." ”

"Well, that's good, it's a good thing those pirates don't know that you're on the island, otherwise if they had known that the most famous business tycoon in the British Empire was on Paradise Island, they would probably have found you even if they dug up Paradise Island."

Count Soros still smiled noncommittally, then said hello to Duke Jackson and withdrew, and then the soldiers guarding the door closed the door from the outside, leaving only me and Duke Jackson in the room.

Duke Jackson asked me straight to the point, "What the hell is going on?" ”

I was stunned by his question, I don't know what kind of medicine is sold in this old fox gourd, why did he come up and ask me this question, I asked him with a confused face: "What do you mean by asking?" Isn't it the pirates of the Golden Isles who suddenly attacked our paradise island? ”

"Really?" Duke Jackson looked at me and asked, "Then why did those pirates attack Paradise Island?" ”

"Well, I'm also very curious about this, logically speaking, they must know that the Golden Islands belong to the territory of the British Empire, and their attack on Paradise Island as pirates is tantamount to starting a war against the British Empire, that is completely self-defeating, do you think it is their brains in water?"

Duke Jackson smiled, stood up and circled me several times, and looked me up and down from time to time.

After circling me several times, Duke Jackson suddenly stopped and asked me, "Do you know a pirate leader named Leonard?" ”

Jackson chuckled in my heart at the mention of Leonard's name, and it was then that I remembered that I had only heard that the invading pirate leader had been killed, but I didn't ask who had been killed.

I cautiously asked Duke Jackson, "Do you know Leonard too?" ”

"Han Dong!" Duke Jackson suddenly raised his voice and his expression became serious, and he asked me, "Are you crazy!" How dare you do business with the pirates of the Golden Isles? Don't you want money or death? ”

Duke Jackson's attitude made me even more confused, who is this old fox playing here? Sandrona had long known about my trade with the pirates of the Golden Isles, how could Jackson not know?

"Lord Duke, I don't understand what you're saying, how can I do business with the pirates of the Golden Isles? Although I love money, I don't dare to make any money. ”

"Hehe, Han Dong, do you think that pirate named Leonard won't sell you? You think too much, and there is never a mouth in my hands that I can't pry open! "21 Baidu: The latest chapter of "Island Tycoon's Lonely Era of Outstanding Literature" is free to read for the first time.
