Chapter 170: Wait, Who Is the Profiteer?
The quarrel between the two groups of people on the dock also turned into shoving.
In the face of the fierce denunciation of the creditor, the pirate officer named Victor was not to be outdone, pulled out his sleeve from Michael's hand, and said with a stalk around his neck:
"All I know is that there is such a thing, but the specific loan contract is something that Captain [Hook] and you have to talk about privately.
I haven't even seen the original paper documents, so how do I know how much I have to pay back and how?
If you have a debtor, you should go to Captain [Hook].
As long as he can catch up with the ghost ship he was on, oh no, he was eaten by a cursed thing in the Azk Empire, and he didn't even run away with his soul.
If you have the ability, you wipe your neck to chase it, and if you don't have the ability, get out of me.
Besides, what we're doing now is serious business, can't we see the brand of the Vanguard Pilot Colonial Trading Company?
The one that hangs with the sign of the Governor's Palace in the county is. ”
The quartermaster is usually a role elected by the crew to check and balance the captain's power.
He did participate in the loan sharking, but he was by no means a confidant of [Hook].
He only knows that there is a [Sea Hunter] now, but he doesn't know what hooks there are, and he naturally speaks very hard.
Hearing this, the profiteer Mishal suddenly sank his face:
"You stinky pirates borrowed money and didn't admit it? You want to be a scoundrel, right? ”
The pirate officer on the opposite side, who had changed his court, hugged his shoulders, looking like a dead pig was not afraid of boiling water.
Behind him, the pioneer piloted the colonial trading company, and the "employees" who were engaged in serious business gradually gathered with great dedication.
Each of them took out the tools they usually used for their work, such as muskets, crossbows, boarding axes, and other very reasonable gadgets.
Michael's face was cold as if it could scrape off a layer of ice ballast.
If justice were to be done through the Silver Law, the highest annualized interest rate today would be 173.33%, and if it were to exceed this amount, even the Silver Law would not recognize it.
The Remet people, who made their fortune by borrowing, wanted to make more profits, and in the end they could only rely on the most primitive armed collections.
It is not uncommon for there to be any casualties in between.
The combination of usury and the slave trade, and the ability to make money twice per person, has always been a matter of skill.
"Arrogant, you pirates really don't know how to spell the word 'death'.
Listen to all orders! ”
The elite of the slave catcher team he brought suddenly stood up: "Yes, manager." ”
"We hurry back to deliver the goods, and it's not good to make customers wait for a long time."
The people of the Palme d'Or Trading Company immediately tacitly agreed to turn back collectively at the extreme.
Of course, there is no problem with armed and violent collection, but the problem is that the object of today's collection is obviously not very similar to the appearance of being able to cooperate with their collection.
I thought I had caught a fish that slipped through the net, but I didn't expect this port to be a fish nest, and there were people from them everywhere inside and out?
I'm violent, they're even more violent, this business is really unmanageable!
If you don't leave, you may not be able to leave.
At this time, the [Golden Deer] had also docked, and a large group of people rushed ashore.
"Flying the flag of the Remet Golden Palm Trading Company.
It's this gang of profiteers again, and they're bullying us honest people again?!
I'm going to chop them up! ”
The honest man was angry when he saw this flag, and just pulled out the Wanmin Tomahawk from behind his back.
Bruch had already activated the [Sun Sacred Sword] and cognitive corrections, and rushed over with an arrow step.
James, the strongest second-order [Treasure Guard] among the Remets, immediately felt a piercing sense of crisis coming from behind him.
His face changed, and he patted the golden box he was carrying.
A set of golden armor inlaid with various colored gems automatically dispersed, and it was instantly worn on his body.
The cuirass, dress, boots, and helmet with two horns resemble the Minotaur, the minotaur who guarded the labyrinth.
The core ability of the [Treasure Guard] at the second level is the [Key of the Minotaur] that absolutely defends the treasure!
They are the occult locks of the vault, and no one can take a single gold coin from them until they are knocked down.
The higher the value of the vault, the stronger the power they can wield.
Legend has it that many dark wizards who play with souls will imprison the soul of the [Treasure Guard] in armor, so that they can guard their treasure vaults or mausoleums even after death.
Very easy to use!
James's fist suddenly burst into golden light, wrapped in wind and thunder, and slammed into his back like a battering ram.
It slammed into a two-handed heavy sword as bright and fiery as the sun.
Bell ——!
With a deafening sound of gold and iron, the two of them each took three steps back.
Although the [Sun Holy Sword] is strong, Bruch, who has just been promoted, has not yet reached the level of being able to destroy the withering and decaying and slash down the same rank.
However, when they first met, Bruch was easily taken down by the captain of the slave ship without resistance.
Now the balance of their strength has been turned upside down.
Neither James nor Michael realized that the man in front of them was the crippled slave he had sold as material for witchcraft.
The two shook their numb arms and were about to fight again.
The other lawless pirates in the harbor were also a little eager to try their hand at the fact that the number of slave catchers was far smaller than their own.
This group of outlaws had blood-colored violent flames reflected in their eyes, and with the fact that there were many people, they were sorry for their professional ethics if they didn't make a move.
"Stop it."
At this moment, the dense crowd around them separated left and right like waves, and Byron, dressed in the uniform of a pirate general, strode in with shiny military boots.
"Your Excellency the Governor, good day!"
"General."
"Captain, you're here."
The pirates, the sailors of the docks, and the local lords who had been separated suddenly lowered like fallen waves of wheat, and respectfully took off their hats and saluted him.
Even the most vicious of them all, he was as obedient as a little sheep to him.
Michael, who was about to break out in a cold sweat on his forehead, couldn't help but rub his eyes in disbelief when he saw the familiar figure in front of him.
It took a long time before I dared to tentatively call out a name:
"Governor? Pirate General? You, the same Captain Byron at Iron Anchor Bay?!
Am I not mistaken? ”
The Remet have their own "Venture Capital Program" within themselves, which is dedicated to identifying potential people and providing various grants before they make their mark.
And then wait until the other party makes a fortune, and will give all kinds of returns to the Remet Group.
They are buying and funding far more than just churches that turn a blind eye to them.
Business conglomerates, pirates, ocean-going companies, traditional aristocrats, and a dense network of investments beneath the surface of small states make their potential power terrifying.
Of course, Michal can't be wrong.
He thinks that Byron, the fledgling little pirate, will sooner or later become a big man on the wanted list (Chapter 45).
But he never imagined that in just a few months, he had grown to the point where he is now.
"Why did I miss this potential stock?!!
Lord, will you no longer care for me? ”
I was so annoyed on the spot that I beat my chest and wanted to vomit three liters of blood, feeling that I had missed 100 million!
"Disperse, put away all your weapons, you are scaring the guests of Port George."
Byron waved off his group of vicious pirates, smiled and nodded to Michael in greeting:
"Mr. Michael, I have just heard it clearly.
You're here for a hook loan, right?
You've probably seen it, they're all under my command, so just ask me if you have any questions.
However, everyone is an old acquaintance, and they all know what the situation is with each other.
I don't believe that your company would be so generous in lending money without any collateral or collateral.
Moreover, I still remember that when the [Golden Eye], [Pawnbroker] and [Banker] of the Golden Yuan Sequence were in the third order, they all had an ability called 'Contract Fraud', right?
It is because of this ability that everyone in the business circle is in danger.
Later, when I did business with you, I had to equip everyone with a [Truth Ring], which greatly increased the cost of business mutual trust. ”
was bluntly exposed by Byron, even with the face of the profiteer Michael, his expression couldn't help but appear a little unnatural.
"Ahem, there's no such thing."
Under Byron's playful gaze, he finally confessed: "It's just a treasure map of 'Treasure Island'." ”
Then Michael changed his tune again, and never mentioned the loan contract again, but showed his true colors as a profiteer to Byron, and enthusiastically sold:
"Captain Byron, I have already consulted the navigator and the navigator.
According to the equiangular route, combined with the compass to draw up the route, combined with the wind direction rose map to determine the specific coordinates of the upcoming appearance of Treasure Island.
The location is in the Bantaan Islands!
You should know that this is the treasure trove of the great pirate Flint, and it is buried with countless gold and silver that rival the richest country.
Moreover, it only appears in prime years, and each time it appears, there will be more treasure on it than the last time, and if this opportunity is missed, the next time it will probably be decades later.
By that time we are too old to hunt for treasure anymore.
It can be said that it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
How about it, if you are interested in having a copy, I can give you a little cheaper. ”
As he spoke, he rubbed his fingers in front of Byron.
[Hook] is dead, and the treasure map as collateral is naturally at his disposal, relying on the fame of Treasure Island, several copies have been sold, and the loan has long been repaid.
Violent collection is just a two-shot fight with and without dates, all for the sake of maximizing profits.
"Oh~, it turned out to be the treasure map of Treasure Island!"
Hearing the news of Treasure Island again surprised Byron.
I always feel that the frequency of hearing this word is a bit high lately.
His face did not show that he was too interested in this treasure map, but stepped forward and took his hand very affectionately.
"We'll talk about Treasure Island later.
Come, Mr. Michael, I actually have a good deal to introduce to you here, which I would not tell you to the average person. ”
Byron put his arm around Michal's shoulders and pointed to the vast expanse of undeveloped wasteland beyond Georgetown, impassionedly:
"The merchant is the most well-informed and should know what is happening on the island of Yucatan, a land of abundance flowing with milk and honey.
But what you may not know is that Georgetown International Harbour, located on the main transportation route, is about to open to the public.
It has been said that the wise create opportunities, the strong seize opportunities, and the weak wait for opportunities.
Our land plot in the Tayman Islands is a scarce resource, the price is beautiful, the down payment is low, and the hand is fast and the hand is slow! ”
Will this creditor be killed or not? Of course it's to be killed.
But it is not a physical killing, but a "slaughter", the "slaughter" of the fat sheep, and the "cutting" of the leek.
