Chapter 53 Everything in the World Has a Price
"Your request is not the same as what I want, Miss Torma." Tang Sen spread his hands: "It's just an intelligence, it's not worth my trouble to gather the Nine Great Pirate Kings." β
"I'm afraid you don't have anything to impress me other than this condition." Witch Road.
"Everything in the world has a price code." Townsend said.
"I don't think you're going to turn down the price I've offered."
He untied the purse that hung from his waist and placed it on the witch's table.
"A money bag." The witch pinched the money bag with two fingers and shook it for a moment: "I have to remind you that worldly money means nothing to me. β
"What's more, you don't seem to have a shilling in your dirty purse."
"If you don't dump it, how do you know there's no money in it?" Townsend smiled.
"It seems that you are very confident in your price." The witch emptied the money bag with a blank face.

A gold coin is dropped on the board.
Then the second, and then the third, more and more, and the golden light soon obscured the crab claws on the board, and even piled up the entire board, falling to the ground with a jingling bell.
Townsend reached out and retrieved the purse from the witch's hand.
"If you don't want the floor to be covered by gold coins, it's better not to turn it upside down all the time." He paused: "Maybe you really want to?" β
"......" The witch stared at the gold coins on the table for a long time.
"Gold, it's all gold." Jack Sparrow leaned over from the side, picked up a gold coin and took a bite.
"It's real gold!"
"If so, Captain Sparrow." Tang Sen shook his money bag and said to the witch, "Money may not mean anything to a god, but it means a lot to a witch, especially a witch who is desperate to get out of trouble. β
The witch finally came to her senses, raised her head, and looked at Townsend again with a completely different look.
"A money bag with magic, it's fun." "So, how much money is in it?" she asked. β
"That's enough for you to buy all the pirates in the world, Miss Torma." Tang Sen said: "Of course, it also includes the Nine Great Pirate Kings. β
"I think that under the lure of money, the pirate kings will be willing to release a goddess who has been sealed away for a long time... If someone doesn't want to, you, with this money bag, can always find someone to replace them, right? β
β......β
The witch was silent again, but this time apparently not for long, and she finally smiled and said, "I've never heard of anything like this, I'm afraid the whole world will go crazy about it." β
"Don, you did offer a price that I couldn't refuse."
"In fact, that's too much for the life of a small pet."
"It's useless to me, Miss Torma." Townsend gently placed the money bag on top of the pile of gold coins on the witch's table: "I'd be happy to let it play a bigger role in your hands." β
"Mr. Donβ" Tom cried out, "it's not worth it!" β
The moment he poured out the gold coins from the money bag, he suddenly realized why Mr. Tang's wealth seemed to be endless, and now it seems that his wealth is really endless.
At this moment, he couldn't help but be greedy for that money bag, and a thought flashed through his mind, if he also owned this money bag, would he be able to be like Mr. Tang, or even replace it?
But this shameful greed immediately made Tom feel ashamed, and he recalled the trust that Mr. Don had placed in him during this time, and if it were not for Mr. Don, a man like himself would still be just a small warrant officer in Port Royal now, and it was Mr. Don who generously agreed to follow him, and gave himself a heavy responsibility.
He knows his own ability very well, there are people in the fleet who are stronger than him, people who are smarter than him abound, and what he relies on has always been Mr. Tang's trust, so that he can get to this day, and only then can he be high-spirited in the fleet, those former bosses, those terrible pirates, all bow their heads to him.
All of this is given by Mr. Tang.
This shameful thought tarnished Mr. Tang's trust and the loyalty he had once sworn took.
Utterly ashamed, Tom stepped forward and shouted with resolute eyes, "It's not worth giving up this treasure for the sake of a piece of information!" β
"It's just a Norwegian sea monster, Mr. Tang, the undead army will always stand in front of you, even if I am dragged into the abyss and completely crushed to ashes, I will definitely block the Norwegian sea monster's tentacles and prevent him from hurting Mr. Tang at all!"
Townsend gave him a surprised look, and he considered the reaction of the crowd after exposing his money bag, such as the fact that Mr. Tom, who had followed him because of money, would instantly rebel against the water.
He had already prepared a plan to deal with the mutiny.
However, the sparkle in the other party's eyes told him that his words seemed to come from the heart.
Anyway, it's a good thing, so Townsend laughed, "Tom, I approve of your determination." β
"However, I will not allow your life to be wasted dealing with a brainless sea monster, you and the undead legion have more important things to do."
Tom's face turned red, and the better and more trust Mr. Tang had in himself, the heavier the shame in his heart.
"As always, support my decision, Tom."
Townsend patted Tom on the shoulder.
Tom gritted his teeth, his cheeks bulging like gold and iron.

"So, Miss Dolmaβ" Townsend looked back at the witch and said, "what is your response?" β
The witch stood up neatly and muttered, "Let me find it, where did I put it?" β
She entered the back room, and soon there was the sound of rummaging through the cabinets.
There were only three people left in the room, and Jack Sparrow finally had a chance to speak, and he couldn't stop glancing over the money bag, muttering, "Don, you can always do things that I don't expect." β
"If I have such a treasure, what else am I going to be a pirate, just buy a piece of land and become a king! Listen, Your Majesty the great Jack Sparrow! β
"It's right in front of you, Spiro." Townsend looked at him with a smile on his face.
Tom's hand was already on the hilt of the sword at his waist.
"Nope." Sparrow hurriedly waved his hand: "I may not have the life to be a king, I should continue to be a pirate." β
"So, Mr. Turner, what about you?" Townsend turned his head and smiled.
"I don't think money is more important than my father, Mr. Tang." William bowed his head, "If you want to test me with this, I will prove to you that the people of the Turner family are not profit-seeking. β
The witch didn't let the chatter last long, and she quickly walked out with a small bottle.
There was a suspicious black liquid inside the bottle, and she carefully placed it on the table.
"What is this?" Townsend asked.
"Blood." The witch didn't look at him, and said in a low tone, "Dirty blood." β
"When the Kraken appears, pour it into the sea, and it won't be a problem for you."
"Whose blood?" Sparrow interjected.
The witch looked at him coldly, and he immediately closed his mouth.
Townsend took out a piece of cloth, wrapped the bottle, put it in his arms, and said, "Captain Sparrow, sometimes we don't need that much curiosity. β
"I just need to know that it works."
"You'll see." The witch licked her lips, "Be careful, don't break it." β
"I only have this one."
