=================================================================================

Sisis, the mansion of Darius.

"Master, master!" a maid ran to Darius, who was standing in front of the windowsill and quietly looking at the night outside the window, and said in a panicked voice, "Something's wrong, something is wrong!"

Darius looked out the window with a demented face and muttered unconsciously, "What's wrong?"

The maid said: "It's very chaotic outside, I heard that there are robbers attacking the Mutt family!"

Darius turned his face, the flesh on his face twitched, and his smile was extremely strange, and he pointed to the fire outside the window: "Don't I have eyes?"

The maid's face turned red, showing a bit of rare delicateness, she relied on the fact that she had served her master in bed several times on weekdays, and she was quite favored by him, so she dared to ask: "Is it the pirate Tang Jie of Alcatraz Island who did it?"

Darius didn't answer the pretty maid's words, he just stared blankly at the red-hot sky, and slowly murmured, "It's too ruthless...... Forget about killing people, arson is going to be extinct!"

Although Darius secretly hated the Mutt family who had been pressing on his head, he never thought of uprooting this family, at most he only wanted to drive these nasty guys out of Sisis and dominate his own family.

But now, Darius could smell the thick smell of blood in the air of Sisis through the window!

Although Darius knew that the pirate he had taken refuge in was ruthless, Darius knew that the few battles Tang Jie had experienced were all forced, either you die or I live, and if Tang Jie was not ruthless in this situation, he would not survive at all.

But the situation in front of him is different, Tang Jie can actually make these Sisis businessmen obedient without using such a spicy method, but this man chose this most lucrative form, as if it was not enough to show his strength and terror!

Faced with such a terrible fire, and facing the oppressive pirate Tang Jie who lived deep in Alcatraz Island, Darius suddenly had a kind of fear of the death of a rabbit and a fox.

Darius slowly waved his hand to the maid beside him, and sighed softly: "You go down, I'll be alone for a while." ”

The maid looked at her master strangely, as if she did not understand why he was so heavy and frightened.

Darius watched the figure of the maid disappear into his room, and he sighed softly and shook his head, as if to expel the fear in his heart, after all, he was in the same boat as this devil.

Darius, the merchant who had stood beside Tang Jie almost from the beginning, felt frightened by this terrible killing, and the merchants of Sisis who had offended Tang Jie and secretly made fun of Tang Jie can be imagined.

The merchants looked at the fiery sky in horror and fear, looking at the fiery territory of the Mutt family, and while they strengthened the vigilance of their own castle, they kept praying to the heavens, praying to the gods to protect them from the butcher's knife raised by the murderous pirate on their heads.

It was undoubtedly the longest night for them.

These merchants no longer dared to underestimate Tang Jie, this terrible night told them: lions eat people after all, and don't think that he has become a herbivore just because he stays with sheep.

The fall of the Mutt family told the merchants of Sisis a bloody and cruel truth: in the land of Siss, the words of the pirate Tang Jie are not to be resisted!

Some merchants were frightened by Tang Jie's methods, and they chose to contact Darius as soon as possible, trying to get the merchant who was closest to the pirate Tang Jie to help them talk and plead for mercy, and never let the pirate Tang Jie take him as the next target.

But there were also some reluctant merchants, who gathered together in private to discuss how to deal with the pirate.

"It's so cruel! Hundreds of people up and down the old sir's family were killed and burned by them!" said a merchant named Liman with an indignant expression, "he is demonstrating to us, and we cannot be intimidated by his methods like this!"

Another merchant named Paro looked at him coldly: "The most powerful Mut family in Sisis was completely destroyed at the hands of this pirate in just one night! This pirate leader wiped out the Mutt family in the history of Sisis without even taking it personally, do you think you can resist him?"

Liman glared at the businessman, "I can't, but someone can!"

"Who?" asked a number of businessmen at the same time.

Liman slapped the round table: "King Alifeld of the Duchy of Marta!"

The merchants in the room looked at each other one by one: "Our king was just beaten by this pirate and caught fire in the backyard, it is impossible to help us out of this, right?"

Liman sneered: "If we can make up for the losses caused by the war, I believe that our King will be happy to maintain his dignity!"

Paro frowned, "How much does that cost?"

Liman looked at him and sneered: "All of us here donate a sum of money, I believe it must be indispensable! I estimate that if we want to persuade our king, we will need at least 100 million gold coins!"

The merchants in the room gasped, and some of them almost roared: "Is your head covered with seaweed? Stupid Liman! 100 million gold coins? Do you know what this concept is? The tax revenue of the Principality of Marta is only 100 million gold coins a year! If I want to pay such a large sum of money, I would rather lick that pirate's dirty boots!"

Although this sentence is ugly, the vast majority of the merchants are shaking their heads, and they do not agree with Liman's proposal, after all, 100 million gold coins, this amount is too appalling, and these merchants will only earn a few million gold coins at most if they run on the sea with their heads in their hands, and sometimes they will lose all their money.

100,000,000 gold coins......

O Raphael, O sea god Tira! You better kill me, I can't take it out if I kill it!!

These 100 million gold coins are spread over the heads of more than a dozen powerful businessmen here, in fact, it is a matter of less than 10 million gold coins per person, but these money have to be taken out at one time, and they also feel extremely painful, not to mention that the pirate Tang Jie asked them to participate in the auction, and the maximum fee charged is estimated to be about 1 million, but now, the price has increased tenfold!!

If two million gold coins were enough to move the king to launch an army, these merchants who still had a shred of blood and courage might have fought hard, but now the price was ten times higher than before, so how could these mercenary merchants be willing to do it?

In the face of naked monetary interests, what blood, dignity, and courage are not worth mentioning!

If you want to talk about blood, dignity and courage, then don't go into business as soon as possible, and go to the army as soon as possible.

Looking at a room of businessmen shaking their heads violently, Liman let out a mocking sneer in his nose, and he slapped the table again, focusing the attention of the room on himself: "Gentlemen, are you thinking that if you have to pay so much money, you would rather go back and accept the exploitation of that pirate in peace?"

There was silence in the room, but the eyes of these merchants all answered the same answer: if this was the case, they would definitely give in to Tang Jie.

Liman smiled coldly, and a few words of mockery and insult came out of his lips: "A bunch of short-sighted cowards!"

"What did you say, Liman?" the merchant named Paro was furious, and he slammed the table and stood up.

The other merchants also showed obvious anger in their eyes, and one by one they glared angrily at Liman.

Liman laughed and said loudly: "With such courage and anger, and the ability to attack the pirates of Alcatraz Island! You, you, and you, aren't you very capable? Didn't you shout at the beginning, as if that guy called the pirate Tang Jie could be crushed to death with one finger! What about now? Gentlemen, look at the way you are now, don't you feel ashamed?"

A muffled snort came from Paro's nose, "What the hell do you want to say?"

Liman sneered: "Do you think that if you go back and hug that pirate Tang Jie's thigh and cry bitterly now, he will forgive you?

Liman slapped the table so hard that it shook the hearts of everyone in the room like a drum.

Paro asked rhetorically, with a slight sarcasm, "What mistake did we make, Your Excellency Liman?"

Liman was very annoyed by this merchant who had been at odds with him, and he glanced at Paro coldly, then swept his gaze over everyone in the room, and he said loudly as he glanced at it: "We all thought that this pirate could not do without us, he could not do without the ships, supplies, sailors, and money that we controlled! However, we were all wrong! He did not need to rely on us at all, because behind him stood the Clumbel family!!"

The merchants were stunned for a moment, and then they exchanged their ears with each other, and there was a low buzz in the room, and after a while, a merchant asked in a deep voice: "Mr. Liman, didn't the Clumber family lose ground in the battle for the imperial capital?

Liman kept shaking his head, and he said in a tone that bordered on sorrow: "What a foolishness! We have only seen the loss of power of the Crumbel family, but we have not seen that this huge family, even if it is ten times more dismal, is much stronger than us merchants!

Liman's words suddenly woke up all the merchants, and they gradually realized a terrible reality: the black-haired pirate didn't want to kill them all, did he?

......

When the merchants of Sisis were discussing how to deal with this method in front of them, the whole Sisis was already in chaos and almost became boiling porridge, not only the noble merchants were frightened by this kind of revenge bloody killing, but even those civilians hiding in their homes looked out in fear through the cracks in the door, and the originally prosperous and lively Sisis port and market were empty and there were few people.

After spending the whole night looting Mutter's mansion, the pirates swaggered and transported the Mutter's belongings to Darius's mansion, and the Sisis city guards did not dare to show up to intercept them along the way!

Darius looked at Nia and the others who connected these various belongings into a long dragon with a smile, and said: "First mate Nia, I don't dare to ask for these things, I will be punished by the sea god Tira!"

Nia glanced at him, after a night of slaughter, the blonde pirate still had a few traces of blood on her cheeks that had not been wiped clean, and her wheat-colored skin reflected these blood stains in a particularly conspicuous and murderous way.

"Don't dream, these aren't for you!" said Nia.

Darius was stunned for a moment, and laughed awkwardly, but there was a palpable fear in his eyes: had these pirates finally begun to support themselves by looting merchants?

Although pirates all over the world have done this kind of thing, Tang Jie has never done anything to rob his house since he made a name for himself, but the first time he did it today, he directly wiped out people, and the reason was just because of one word: wealth!

This, this is too ruthless, he will make the whole Sisis chill by doing this!

A large part of the reason why Tang Jie has grown rapidly on Alcatraz Island is that his notoriety is not obvious, those low-level sailors and civilians have a good impression of this pirate, but now in this way, everyone will think that Tang Jie is ruthless, just for the sake of a family's wealth can destroy his clan and burn his house!

Such a person, except for those who are born with a penchant for killing, except for those who are desperate for survival, who would dare to take refuge in him?

Nia saw Darius's increasingly ugly face, and she secretly admired Tang Jie's judgment in her heart.

From the moment she received Tang Jie's task, the black-haired man asked her: "Don't you think my methods are too ruthless and ruthless? You know, if I do this, it is very likely that I will not only lose the hearts and minds of the entire Sixisi business community, but also the hearts of the common people of the Sissy!"

When Tang Jie said this, he looked up at the sea and sighed: "The people's hearts of the Sithis Chamber of Commerce can be set aside and ignored." But the hearts and minds of the Sisilian commoners must not be lost. A third of the sailors on our ship are Sisians, and if they are cold, I am afraid that I will be unstable here!"

Nia pondered for a while, then lowered her head and said, "Then, I'll only kill Mutt and give those merchants a threat?"

Tang Jie waved his hand: "No, the power of the Mutt family is intertwined in Sisis, just killing Mutt will not only not bring a deterrent effect to these Sisis merchants, but will provoke a strong resistance from the Mutt family, once this local snake does his best to make trouble for me, it will also be a very unpleasant thing." Moreover, this family occupies the largest share of the market resources of Siss, if it does not go, Agatha and her family will not be able to enter Siss, and if the Clumbel family can enter earlier, our forces will be able to achieve a qualitative and quantitative leap one day earlier. ”

Nia asked rhetorically, "So what should we do?"

Tang Jie smiled cruelly: "After uprooting his power, distribute his and his family's valuable belongings to the civilians of Sisis!"

Nia was stunned for a moment: "Such a large sum of money, just like that...... Don't you have a single gold coin left?"

She knew that the treasures that could be collected in Mutt's castle must be worth more than a million gold coins, but Tang Jie said that if she sent it out, she would send it out, which really made Nia, an orthodox pirate from a professional background, feel very incredible.

Tang Jie smiled: "What, I feel distressed? Don't worry, we will earn back this money a hundred times in the future, in comparison, these are small money, as long as the hearts of these Sisians are still on our side, then we will have a stable and reliable source of soldiers, my ship can not only have Dada, nor can there be only those who are famous from all over the world, let alone the people of the Clumber family, these Sisians are an important part of our sailor group, indispensable!"

Thinking back to Tang Jie's words, the more Nia thought about it, the more she felt that Tang Jie was far-sighted, this kind of thing is easy to say, but it is very difficult to do, millions of gold coins worth of property are said to be given away, what kind of courage is this?

Only he can do it!

Nya thought to herself, she pointed to the long convoy of horses behind Darius, and said, "These are the belongings that Captain Tang Jie wants to distribute to the civilians of Sisis, you can take care of it." ”

Darius was stunned for a moment, as if he couldn't believe his ears: "What? What did you say? These are distributed to civilians? Did I hear you right?"

Darius guessed that Tang Jie might take this treasure for himself, or he might share it among his men, but he didn't guess that this man would give all these things to the civilians of Sicis!

This, this is ...... It's incredible!

Darius stood in place, as if petrified, in his eyes, the pirate who killed people without blinking and ruined his family and his family turned into a great philanthropist!

Could it be that he wants to buy people's hearts?

Darius reacted quickly, his eyes filled with awe, and he was in awe of the methods of the pirate entrenched on Alcatraz Island.

"Can you do it? If you can't, I'm sure Brittage will be happy to do it. Nia said unceremoniously, she has always had a bad impression of this greedy and timid fat man who is easy to sway from side to side.

"Yes, yes!" Darius nodded hurriedly, what kind of jokes, if you can't do a good job of sending money, what face is there to stay on Tang Jie's ship?

......

While Sisis was in chaos, Alcatraz was also in chaos.

It's just that the chaos in Sisis is a panic filled with an atmosphere of panic, while the chaos on Alcatraz Island is a vigorous and tense and orderly chaos.

In the newly completed castle study, Maria sat at a simple desk, flipping through the mountains of ledgers, writing quickly with a quill pen on the white paper on the other side.

Maria's handwriting is beautiful and delicate, and a series of dry numbers are written like elves in her pen, which looks like a joyful dance.

Although Maria's pen is fast, she secretly mutters to herself in her heart: As the former head of the Kelsman family in Sissi, I am actually here to reconcile accounts and organize archives!

It's really overkill!!

Maria looked at the room where she was almost buried, and couldn't help but feel a little crazy urge to hold her head and pull her hair.

Tang Jie can't be blamed, because there are too few people available at his disposal.

Simon, the original big butler, has no matter how big or small, logistics and housekeeping, financial management, his beard and eyebrows are grasped, he is so tired that he is not to mention, and the power in his hands is getting bigger and bigger, it can be said that if Simon is willing, he can destroy everything on Alcatraz Island silently overnight.

When Tang Jie's group is not large, Simon's role is not too obvious, but when Tang Jie's group is getting bigger and bigger, Simon's role will increase day by day as the group grows.

After Tang Jie returned to Alcatraz Island, he was shocked when he saw Simon's tired cheeks sunken, but what scared him even more was the various affairs that Simon was now managing.

From the financial revenue and expenditure of Alcatraz Island, to the specific personnel adjustment of the various tribes and ships of Alcatraz Island, this man is in charge!

This guy actually grabbed the financial power and personnel power without making a sound!

It's horrible!

Tang Jie secretly broke out in a cold sweat, of course he knew that the financial and personnel rights of a group were a symbol of the number one leader.

Financial power symbolizes money, who will do it with you if you don't have money, and personnel power symbolizes the future, in Tang Jie's group, if there is no future, who is willing to die hard?

Fortunately, Simon has no dissenting intentions, otherwise if he doesn't wait for Tang Jie to come back, Alcatraz Island will already be someone else's!

Tang Jie secretly patted his chest in his heart, thinking about how to separate a little bit of his power from Simon's hands.

Just when Tang Jie was thinking like this, Simon was very smart and came over by himself, and took the initiative to ask to give up the financial and personnel rights in his hands, and he concentrated on managing all kinds of housekeeping and logistics support of Alcatraz Island.

Tang Jie admired this big butler who knew how to advance and retreat very well, and knew how to speculate on the thoughts of the superiors, and after a little hesitation, he agreed to Simon's request without pretension, after all, if he let this guy continue to manage everything in this way, even if he is loyal to himself, after working like this for a year and a half, others will be completely wasted.

Tang Jie is not a person who likes to kill chickens and take eggs, he is now eager to seek talents, desperately trying to collect talents, and he must not let Simon, an internal affairs talent, be wasted in his own hands.

Who will take over the goods and personnel?

Nia is absolutely not good, she is not good at this, and she has to rely on her to manage the fleet and sailors, not to mention Bill, this is a good sailor, a good gunner, but definitely not material for financial housekeeping.

Lilith is a wizard genius and is an idiot in all other ways, and so is Gilgico, both of whom are good friends.

Octavier didn't even mention it, when he returned to Alcatraz Island, this woman didn't show a face, if it weren't for the fact that he could still sense her breath on this island, Tang Jie simply thought that this beautiful and powerful mermaid had already floated away.

As for Christina and Rogge, this is Angel's person, Tang Jie relied on his relationship with Angel and his own prestige to mobilize them to fight, kill and kill, that is still okay, but if you want them to sit in the room obediently and take care of the accounts, it is more sad than killing them.

Counting them up, only Angel and Maria, who are not very familiar with each other, can do it.

But Tang Jie was very distressed about who would be in charge of the finances for a while.

Tang Jie wanted Angel to take care of it, but Angel vetoed the proposal in one bite, and the bewitching woman snuggled up to him and coquettishly said, "Can you bear to let a room full of documents become my cage?"

Beauty is like crisp, and slang is like cotton, Tang Jie suddenly relented and agreed.

At first, Maria was surprised and surprised that Tang Jie could entrust her with such a heavy responsibility, but when she saw this mountain of information, her eyes were black and she almost fainted.

"This damn bastard......" Maria thought to herself, holding a quill in one hand and rubbing her temple with the other, gritting her thin teeth, "using me as a coolie!"

Maria felt sorry for herself for a while, and then she thought that if she wanted to fully integrate into the group, if she wanted to fully integrate into the group, if she didn't give a little, she obviously couldn't be trusted.

"Alas, wronged!" said Mary, who continued to hide herself in the pile of ledgers and data.

Outside the castle, the black slaves of various tribes in the southern continent were still working hard, some of them continued to polish the grooves of various wartime mechanisms with iron chisels on the city tower, and some of them carried some stones and timber up the city wall along the stone steps in groups to carry out the final sweeping construction work.

Standing on the walls of the castle and looking down, you can see a busy crowd everywhere, coming and going in and out of the open gates on both sides of the castle, like a swarm of busy worker ants.

While everyone is busy, Tang Jie is plotting a bigger storm and conspiracy with Angel.

"Are you really sure you want to do this?" said Angel, looking at Tang Jie in surprise.

Tang Jie's face sank like water, and he nodded: "This is no way, if we don't do this, it will be difficult for us to gain a foothold in the Siss, because after all, we are pirates at sea, and we don't have a land army that we can rely on." So if the king of the Duchy of Marta is determined to send his army into Sisis, then all our previous efforts will be in vain!"

"Bribing a king to make him give up his territory...... Angel looked strange, "only you dare to think of such a thing! If I were this king, I would definitely not want to cut off the head of your messenger." ”

Tang Jie smiled heavily: "If you don't try it, how do you know that it won't work?" Now it seems that the one who can cause us trouble in a short period of time is the king of the Principality of Marta, if the two sides can't get along, there will inevitably be a vicious war, now is the golden period for us to develop and expand our power, if we can't fight, don't fight, it will hurt our muscles and bones, even if we completely abolish the navy of the Principality of Marta, it will not be good for us." ”

Angel nodded, she thought about it, and said: "You should probably ask Maria's opinion on this matter, she knows everything about the Principality of Marta, this Kelsman family's petrel's reputation is not casually blown, even in the Falco Empire on the Noah continent, I have heard some things about her." ”

Tang Jie raised his eyebrows: "Oh, there is such a thing, then I'll talk to her later." ”

Tang Jie said, and he said to Angel: "By the way, you help me bring the order to Darius, and tell him that I will hold a dinner party in Sisis again in two days." ”

Tang Jie said, a hideous smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "This time, I don't think anyone dares to come!"
