Chapter 44: Good Brother!
Faced with the chaos in the port of Tutuga at this time, and the concern about the looting team that had been dispatched, sending a reinforcement team to meet it was the only option that Armand could rest assured. But at this time, there is still the x-factor of Fang Senyan on the ship! That's the biggest reason why Armand hesitated! For Armand, Fang Senyan is a man of great ability who has not yet gained his full trust. I don't know why, Armand has always had a faint feeling in his heart: Fang Senyan is like a dangerous murder weapon with a double blade, if used well, it will bring great damage to the enemy, and if it is not used well, then it will cut himself!
The problem now before Armand is that he himself must be in charge of the Bell and the Glassβthe captain of the ship, and the captain without the ship is like a phoenix stripped of his hair, otherwise if something happens to the ship, he will become a source of water and a tree without roots, which is tantamount to entrusting his fate to someone else. At this time, his first mate Henry had a head injury that was not light, and the only powerful subordinate who could be used was Fang Senyan, but if he used him, if he had a different heart because of his wealth...... Blind Matt has less prestige than him, and Charles is not as powerful as him - it is likely that the chicken and egg will be very variable!
"Let me go! My lord, let me take someone to meet those brothers! β
Fang Senyan cut through the ironclad road.
Seeing Armand's expressionless face, he continued to say earnestly:
"Please believe me, I will fight for my life, and I will definitely bring my brothers back safely! But what ...... If something happens, please take care of my brother! β
The implication of Fang Senyan's words is very obvious: I still have hostages left on the ship! Even if you can't believe me, it should be enough to add a relative, and if you don't let me go, then it's not interesting to be suspicious to this extent, and it's too chilling.
If Kerry was here, he would immediately jump up from the stool and cry, hugging Armand's thigh hard and asking for a DNA test and blood identification, resolutely denying all the previous relationship with Fang Senyan!
However, at this time, it is a high-level meeting between the bell and the wineglass, which is quite confidential, and Kerry does not want to say that he participates, even if he gets close, he will be forced by the cold and shining sailor knife!
As soon as Fang Senyan's words came out, the green tendons on Armand's forehead suddenly jumped like a dragon raising its head! Fang Senyan's brother "Kerry" is already very famous, and his close relationship with Fang Senyan has long been publicized by this big-mouthed guy, even the rats and cockroaches on the bell and wine glass should be familiar.
But for Armand, an old and cunning fellow, it is clear that the relationship he professes with his mouth is not enough to win his trust. Until someone came to report that Kerry had borrowed a huge amount of money on the ship in the name of Fang Senyan, and Fang Senyan was willing to take on this amount of money that was enough to ruin the family. Armand believes that there is indeed a very unusual friendship between the two - the most challenging things in the world are life and death, and the second is money.
Some people who are generous and bold in ordinary times will be cowardly in the face of life and death, which is called sharing wealth and prosperity, but not suffering together. Some people are willing to sacrifice their lives for you at a critical time, but they can't withstand the corrosion of money, which is called asking for money and not dying. Armand has seen too many people in the ugliness of life and death before money, so he believes in the brotherly relationship between Fang Senyan and Kerry that has passed the test of money.
But believing is one thing, trusting is another, and Armand paced back and forth on the boat with his hands behind his back, his eyes shining with a dangerous glint like that of a gambler, and a particularly gloomy aura around his body.
In fact, from the beginning of the chaos in the port, Armand had a serious sense of crisis lingering in his heart, haunting him, so even though Fang Senyan had created the momentum of "having to send him", Armand still had a solemn face and continued to be silent.
At this moment, the door of the cabin creaked open, and a huge burly figure appeared in front of everyone, with a white cloth wrapped around his bald head, it was Armand's most trusted first mate, Scar Henry. Although his face looked rather sluggish, the aura of being fierce and domineering on his body was still about to come out.
"I'll go with Mariner Rock! It's good to take care of each other. β
If Scar Henry, Armand's most trusted confidant, was willing to accompany Fang Senyan to the past, then it would naturally be extremely reassuring for him, and he would not have the slightest doubt. But Armand looked at the white cloth wrapped around Scar Henry's head, and the dense bloodshot in his eyes, and couldn't help but hesitate and said:
"But your hurt ......."
Scar Henry seemed to be fine in front of others, in fact, only Armand and himself knew: in fact, his injury has not improved, and since Scar Henry's head injury, the injury has been very ups and downs, and even has a tendency to worsen. In a place where no one is around, Scar Henry has nausea and vomiting many times, and has a headache that looks like someone is stirring inside with a knife, which is supposed to be the after-effects of a severe concussion that worsens in terms of real-world diagnosis.
Scar Henry also saw the doubts in Armand's heart, the silver light on his body flickered slightly, and he forcibly cheered up and smiled slightly:
"This operation, of course, is dominated by our boatswain, and I just move my mouth with a few more years of experience."
Scar Henry said it very modestly, but in fact, he was also conveying his meaning to Armand:
"Don't worry, I'm just going to supervise that kid, and I'm desperate to do anything to him, if he dares to make any changes, I can let the people I bring him kill him."
Armand turned his head again to look at the churning port of Tutuga, and by this time he could almost confirm that the Charles were in serious trouble, otherwise the blind Matt should have at least sent someone back to report the news. He looked at Scar Henry, and also made up his mind, nodded and said:
"Good! You two go, and I'll be relieved. β
After saying this, Armand untied the silver stabbing sword with a strange light at his waist, and threw it at Scar Henry with a sheath:
"And then! I'm sure I'm foolproof on the ship, and I don't need it, but you might come in handy when it matters. β
Scar Henry caught it and nodded slightly, Armand took out his saber not to guard against Fang Senyan, but for fear that Charles, a guy who could compete with Henry in prestige, would make a move. As a pirate captain with great prestige on the ship, his sword can naturally be used as a token at a critical moment to deter those pirates with bad intentions - this truth sounds outrageous, but in fact, it is the same as the ancient Chinese principle that a powerless civil official could go straight to the barracks with a holy decree and take away the surname of a general who had the courage of ten thousand people.
Fang Senyan watched the performance of this pair of affectionate good friends from the side, his face couldn't help but be a little solemn, Scar Henry's following was obviously beyond his expectations, to be honest, this guy's physical strength of up to 30 points undoubtedly made Fang Senyan very jealous, because 30 points of physical strength brought not only high HP, but also high defense derived from it!
What's more, Scar Henry's known ability has a great heart, which makes the owner gain an additional 1000 health points of metamorphosis ability, and the faint silver light on his body is also very eye-catching, it is estimated that it is a strong equipment, and it is even more perverted if Scar Henry is equipped with a title again. If Fang Senyan wanted to fish in troubled waters in this battle, a quick victory was essential, but with such a guy by his side, then many plans would have to be scrapped.
The only good news is that Scar Henry has a head injury, and he looks pretty bad.
The pirate reinforcements were quickly identified and dispatched. Having learned the lesson of the last time, and Armand is also very confident in Fang Senyan's scheduling and command ability, this time the bell and the wine glass can be regarded as pouring out of the nest. There were only twenty or so men left on Armand's side, most of them old, weak, sick and disabled, and the only purpose of their existence was to be able to carry the bells and glasses out of the harbor smoothly.
Looking at the pirate team that landed in the distance, there were also Fang Senyan and Scar Henry who walked at the front of the team. A cold light suddenly flashed in Armand's eyes, and he beckoned to the second deputy Robben who stayed behind, and said lightly:
"You pick four people out and keep an eye on Kerry. If anything happens to this guy, take him to me at once - remember, I want to live, but if he escapes, you don't want to live. Robben nodded his head under Armand's forced gaze, genuinely frightened. Armand said lightly:
"You have to remember that you are the second mate of the bell and the wine glass, and don't forget your identity." When Robben heard this, he bent even lower, and he almost knelt down to show his loyalty. Armand was obviously very satisfied with the effect of his conversation, and waved his hand to let him leave, at this time the people left on the ship may not be strong, but almost all of them are Armand's old team, and their loyalty is unquestionable. When Charles was on board, Armand might have only 70 percent control over the entire ship, but now it can be said to be 100 percent! In this case, Armand is confident that even if Fang Senyan stays, he won't be able to make any waves, let alone that pitifully weak Kerry?
Who else dares to say that Xiaofang will not be able to lay out? How many people have thought of Kerry's role? Wowhaha, but I'm going to tell you, don't think that's all there is to the small square layout, the game he really laid out before is still in the chapter that will be revealed!
