Pirate: My shadow can hang up

Chapter 53 Diary, Captain John

The leader of the people surrounded was named Barton, who was originally a small nobleman in a local area. He was flanked by his steward and son, and the others were senior sailors whom he hired with the money he raised from selling his family property.

"There is a mole..."

Barton looked at the group of people behind him with a gloomy face. Someone must have deliberately spread the news, so it attracted three pirate groups.

These three pirate groups are better than the others, and their overall strength is pretty good. The rewards offered by the pirate captains are between 15 million and 30 million.

Barton and his group immediately looked at each other and explained to each other to prove their innocence.

Even Barton couldn't figure out this matter. Spreading the news would harm others and not benefit himself. Cooperating with these pirates was tantamount to seeking skin from a tiger. What's more, he had promised this group of people that as long as they found the treasure, everyone would get it. One serving.

"You guys, haven't I been good enough to you? How could someone think of betrayal? You know who it is, and you have the guts to take the initiative to stand up!"

The old housekeeper was filled with indignation and reprimanded everyone loudly.

Barton had doubts about the people in the team. His butler and son were both familiar people and would not betray him, so the problem was with the newly recruited crew members.

however.

The reality is exactly the opposite of what Barton thought.

"Don't any of you stand up?"

Just listening to the old housekeeper continue, his expression suddenly became strange:

"Since you don't stand up, then I will! I won't act anymore. In fact, I am the traitor, and I am the one who betrayed you!"

Barton's expression was astonished. At this moment, the old butler gave him a strange feeling, which was completely different from his usual obedient, hard-working and uncomplaining demeanor.

"How did you..."

Barton wanted to defend him a few words, but saw Morid speak:

"I didn't expect you to take the initiative to come forward. Since this is the case, it will save trouble. Now you can point out who has the treasure map! When the treasure is obtained, I will give you a share..."

Barton looked stunned, and Morid's words confirmed the butler's identity as a mole.

"Why do you do this?" Barton asked in shock. He was a little confused as to what the purpose of this loyal butler was.

"Why? Haha..." The old housekeeper sneered, and then stared at Barton's son, "If my son hadn't died, he should be this old, right?"

As if he had heard some terrible news, Barton's pupils suddenly shrank, and then he loudly said: "But he is already dead, and people cannot be resurrected after death!"

After hearing this, the old housekeeper smiled strangely, raised his head for a long time and said: "Then how my son died, you should know better than anyone else!"

None of the three pirate groups moved. It seemed like there was a story here, and it wasn't too late to take action after hearing it.

"You...you know everything? Who told you..." Barton took a few steps back and looked at the old housekeeper with a horrified expression. The person who had knelt down to him before became particularly ferocious and terrifying now.

The butler did not answer his words, but just told the story of the origin of the matter.

It turns out that the housekeeper had a son who was as old as the master's young master more than ten years ago. He regarded the son as a treasure when he was old, but things didn't go as planned...

One day more than ten years ago, the owner's son and his son encountered a pack of wolves in the wild. While escaping, the young master slipped and fell.

Although there was a chance to escape, his son ran back without hesitation, picked up a wooden stick and fought against the wolves alone.

During this process, the master's son regained his strength and ran away, not caring who was fighting for him...

Is this the end of the matter?

No!

After all, it is understandable for a young boy to run away in such a situation, but what happened next is the most infuriating...

"Why, you were already here at that time, why didn't you let your servants rescue my son? Why did you take your son and drive away!?"

The old housekeeper cried hoarsely and shed turbid tears: "I admit that I have been as humble as dust in your house all my life, like a dog wagging its tail at the table and begging for food from its master. But, is our life not life? ?"

"This..." Barton wanted to explain but really had nothing to say. This was indeed a fact. He thought he had given hush money to the two servants, but he didn't want it to be known.

"Twelve years, I've been waiting for twelve years." The housekeeper smiled sickly, "When I arrived at the scene and saw the depleted body, Master, do you know how I felt..."

"That's it…"

"boom!"

The butler suddenly took out a flintlock gun from his arms, flames flying, and instantly shot at Barton's son who was standing aside.

The person who was hit instantly covered his left chest and fell to the ground without even having time to scream.

Barton's eyes widened instantly. When he saw his son killed instantly, many emotions surged, including grief, despair, and extreme anger.

"Damn it...I'm going to kill you, old guy!" After a long time, Barton regained some clarity from his despair, and his remaining sanity was replaced by anger.

The butler didn't take it seriously. He seemed to enjoy the scene and then said to the three pirate captains:

"As for what you want, I'm not interested. The map is in his son's clothes and the diary is on his body. I just want you to kill them and give me a good time after you get the things!"

The three pirate captains looked at each other in shock after hearing this.

In all their years as pirates, they have never seen such a ruthless person!

But since he has such a request, then try to satisfy it.

When Moria and his group arrived, there were already corpses everywhere and wailing sounds. Three pirate captains were leading their men to clean up the battlefield.

Even though the three pirate groups joined forces, there were still some casualties due to the opponent's counterattack.

The diary and the folded chart were found, and the three captains suddenly had disagreements again.

"I'll take a look first!"

"I first..."

At this moment, a strange voice sounded, and then a crutch was placed on the thing the three of them were fighting for: "Hehehe, can you show this thing to our captain? He seems to be very interested in this thing..."

The three of them raised their heads at the same time and asked, "Who are you?"

Followed by.

The three pirate captains were immediately stunned. They were actually surrounded. A dozen people stood around, all with amused expressions.

The pirates of the three pirate groups were lying on the ground in a mess at this moment. This team of dozens or hundreds of people had been wiped out before they even noticed it.

While they were stunned, Absalom walked up directly, snatched the diary and map from their hands, and handed them to Moria.

Moria opened the diary, and everyone came over. The former read out the content:

"My Captain John..."
