"Sir, sir?!" Eugene, the butler, shouted in his ears urgently.

Seeing the old man's cold sweat pouring down like rain, he quickly took out a handkerchief and wiped it.

"Mr. Oult, you need to take care of your health, and the family still needs you to continue to be in power."

Old Alt recovered from his trance, and his eyes unconsciously looked at the ruins of the warship that remained on the sea, until now, the fire was still burning the remaining wreckage, and a raging flame broke the mast of the warship, smashed it hard, and slapped on the water, causing a splash.

The last gloom in Old Ault's eyes finally faded in helplessness, he was probably crazy, so he had the courage to be angry with the people on that ship.

"Let's go, let's go back to the island."

"Yes, sir, may I ask about Master Parson......

Eugene said the guess that everyone knows, that is, this time the encirclement and suppression of the navy must be related to the adopted son of the old man Oult, and this time when he goes back, the old man should make up his mind to eradicate dissidents.

However, what no one knows is that this is not what old Oult cared about.

"Don't worry about that rebel, after I go back, I will first collect all the foreign personnel of the family, issue the highest order in the clan, expedite delivery, and let them return to their territory immediately, and then everyone will keep me safe during this time, and I am not allowed to have anything to do with anyone."

"Huh?!" Eugene rarely understood Old Ault's intentions, and said strangely, "Did Sir find something wrong?" ”

"Something is wrong?"

"......," old Oult was silent for a moment, "I'm afraid that this island is going to change." ”

……

"Boss, we're about to enter the Strauss-owned harbor right now, and now we have two options for our ship."

More than half an hour later, the Hades was close to Notes Island, and during this time, Silva had been educating Hades and Robin about the island's natural culture and invisible rules.

"Although the island of Notes is full of evil, because it is the only island in the nearby waters that can dock for replenishment, and the nearest island is also more than four days away from here, there are still many ships docked in the harbor every day. The island's mafia has set up two docking areas, divided into a family reserve and a freedom dock. ”

Silva unfolded a blank sheet of paper, took out a pen, and sketched the areas on the west coast where boats could dock.

"Here...... Over here...... And here, these are family reserves, and the merchant ships entering the area will be collected by the nearest mafia family, as long as a certain price is provided, they can be protected from the looting and harassment of the mafia, in exchange for safety on the island, and then replenish supplies, and move towards the next island. ”

Silva elaborated.

"Except for the designated family reserve, everything else belongs to the Freedom Wharf. All ships in the Freedom Pier can enjoy free services, but if they encounter the plundering and looting of the mafia family, they have to solve it all by themselves, and generally except for those large ships that carry a large number of guards and combatants, few people will go to the Freedom Pier, because once they attract the attention of the mafia, they will often not only be looted, but may even lose their lives. ”

The two areas that Silva explained to Hades are well understood, one is to spend money to buy peace, and the other is to face danger and speak with his fists.

In fact, the larger the merchant ship, with a large number of guards to protect, but the less likely to go to the Freedom Wharf, although they have the ability to protect themselves, but also have money, for spending a little money to avoid unnecessary trouble, most of the owners of the merchant ship are acceptable, but some small ships want to gamble on luck, will rush into the area of the Freedom Wharf, to avoid the crisis and save this cost.

Silva then asked Hades, "Boss, where are we going?" ”

"Of course it's a family reserve, do you think I look like someone who likes to cause trouble?"

Hades gave his harmless smile, as if he hadn't done the four guns that had destroyed two warships.

Silva scratched his head.

"Also, the boss is right, this family reserve on the west coast is our own territory, and I'm confused."

Silva's brain was really pumped at that moment, but the boss was going to take over Strauss's territory, how could he avoid the family territory and go to the Freedom Docks.

It's just that the character of the group of people in the port meets the boss...... Silva suddenly remembered something, and couldn't help but mourn in silence for the group of former colleagues.

Time flies, and the Hades has entered Strauss's family reserve, and the ships passing through from all directions have a long queue, which is inspected by the mafia personnel in turn, and can only be officially entered after paying the fee and passing.

It has to be said that as Silva said, Nodes Island has developed its own culture after many years of control by the mafia, and in order to cater to their culture, all ships large and small can only choose to cooperate, otherwise they will have to travel four or five days before they can find the next island that can be replenished.

As time went by, the unspoken rules gradually surfaced and became a 'common secret' that everyone knew and everyone knew, which made the island seem orderly at first glance.

For example, Hades watched the ships line up one by one, without cutting in line, without complaining, passing through the inspection of the mafia members one by one, and then paying the fee and entering the port in an orderly manner.

If you don't talk about the process at a glance, who would have thought that it was a group of outlaws who joined the mafia who led all this?

"It's as if these mafias will measure the standard of charges based on the size of the ship, the value of the cargo."

Robin's favorite thing is to experience the people of different islands, even if it's an island full of sin.

Early in the morning, she unfolded the ability of flowers and fruits - dazzling, countless eyes and flowers bloomed on various ships, peeping at the flow and way of other people's transactions.

"The captain guessed right." Silva immediately complimented.

"Yes, if nothing else, there are five different prices for the protection fee charged at the port. The more dignified the people on board, the more cargo they had, and the more help they needed, the more money they had to pay, but these were all decided by the members of the wharf, so these people got a lot of money out of it, and set high protection fees for many ships to make a lot of money in their pockets. ”

Silva knows everything about the inner workings of the mafia, even the smallest details that go unnoticed.
