Pirate Kingship
Chapter 171 Wait, who is the profiteer?
The quarrel between the two groups of people on the dock also turned into a shove.
Faced with the creditor's stern denunciation, the pirate officer named Victor was not to be outdone. He pulled his sleeve from Michael's hand and said with his neck stiff:
"I only know that this happened, but the specific loan contracts were discussed privately between Captain [Hook] and you.
I haven't even seen the original paper documents, so how can I know how much money I have to pay back and how to pay it back?
Every wrong has its perpetrator and every debt has its creditor. You should go find Captain [Hook].
As long as you can catch up with the ghost ship he was on, oh, no, he was eaten by the cursed creature in the Azik Empire, and even his soul didn't escape.
If you have the ability, cut your neck and chase him, if you don't have the ability, get out of here.
Besides, we are doing a legitimate business now. Can't you see the sign of the Pioneer Navigation Colonial Trade Company?
It's the one hanging together with the sign of the Earl's Governor's Mansion."
The quartermaster is usually a role elected by the crew to check the captain's power.
He did participate in the loan sharking, but he was definitely not a confidant of [Hook].
He only knew about [Sea Hunter] now, but he didn't know about Hook, so he was naturally very tough.
Hearing this, the profiteer Michael suddenly frowned:
"You stinky pirates borrowed money and didn't acknowledge it? You want to be a rogue, right?"
The pirate officer opposite him, who had changed his party, hugged his shoulders, looking like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water.
Behind him, the "employees" of the Pioneer Navigation Colonial Trade Company who were doing serious business gradually gathered together with great professionalism.
Each of them took out the tools they usually used for work, such as: muskets, crossbows, boarding axes and other very reasonable gadgets.
Michael's face was so cold that it seemed like a layer of ice could be scraped off.
If it is fair through the Silver Law, the current highest annualized interest rate is 173.33%. As long as this amount is exceeded, even the Silver Law will not recognize it.
The Remit people who made their fortune by lending wanted to make more profits, and in the end they could only rely on the most primitive armed debt collection.
It was common for there to be casualties in the process.
They were always good at linking usury and slave trade, and making money twice.
"Arrogant and domineering, you pirates really don't know how to spell the word 'death'.
All listen to my orders!"
The elite slave-catching team he brought stood at attention: "Yes, manager."
"Let's go back and deliver the goods quickly. It's not good to keep the customers waiting for a long time."
The people of the Golden Palm Trading Company immediately turned back in tacit understanding.
Armed and violent debt collection is of course no problem, but the problem is that the object of today's debt collection obviously doesn't look like it can cooperate with them.
I thought I had caught a fish that slipped through the net, but I didn't expect that this port was actually a fish nest, and there were their people everywhere inside and outside?
I am violent, and they are more violent. This business is really impossible to do!
If I don't leave now, I may not be able to leave.
At this time, the [Golden Deer] had also docked, and a large group of people rushed ashore.
"It's the flag of the Golden Palm Trading Company of the Remit people.
It's this group of profiteers who come to bully us honest people again?!
I'll chop them up!"
The honest man Bazhi got angry when he saw the flag, and just pulled out the Bay Citizen Battle Axe from his back.
Bruch had already activated the [Holy Sword of the Sun] and cognitive correction, and rushed over in one step.
James, the second-level [Treasure Guard] with the strongest strength among the Remit people, immediately felt a piercing sense of crisis coming from behind.
His face changed, and he slapped the golden box beside him.
A set of golden armor inlaid with various gems automatically dispersed and was instantly put on him.
Breastplate, battle skirt, combat boots. And a helmet with two bull horns, which looks like the Minotaur who guards the labyrinth in the legend.
The core ability of the second-level [Treasure Guard] is the [Minotaur Key] that absolutely defends the treasure!
They are the locks of the vault in the mystical sense. No one can take a gold coin from it before they are defeated.
The higher the value of the vault, the stronger the power they can exert.
It is said that many dark wizards who play with souls will imprison the souls of [Treasure Guard] in armor, so that they can guard their own treasures or mausoleums even after death.
Very useful!
James's fist suddenly burst into golden light, wrapped in wind and thunder, and slammed behind him like a siege hammer.
It collided with a two-handed heavy sword that was as bright and hot as the sun.
Clang——!
With a deafening sound of metal clashing, the two retreated three steps each.
Although the [Sun Holy Sword] is strong, Bruch, who has just been promoted, has not yet reached the level of being able to crush the same level.
However, when they first fought, Bruch was easily defeated by the slave ship captain without any resistance.
Now their strength comparison has been completely reversed.
On the other hand, James and Michael did not realize that the man in front of them was the disabled slave they had sold as witchcraft materials.
The two shook their numb arms and were about to fight again.
The other lawless pirates in the port were also eager to try when they saw the slave-hunting team that was far smaller than their own.
The eyes of this group of desperate criminals were all reflecting bloody flames of violence. With so many people, it would be a shame to not take action.
"Stop it."
At this time, the dense crowd around them separated like waves, and Byron, wearing a pirate general uniform and shiny military boots, strode in.
"Good day, Governor!"
"General."
"Captain, you are here."
The separated pirates, dock sailors, and local residents. Suddenly, like the fallen wheat waves, they all shortened and respectfully saluted him.
Even the most vicious pirates were as submissive as little lambs in front of him.
Michael, who was sweating on his forehead, saw the familiar figure in front of him. While he breathed a sigh of relief, he couldn't help but rub his eyes in disbelief.
After a long while, he dared to tentatively call out a name:
"Governor? Pirate General? You. You are the Captain Byron in Anchor Bay?!
Am I seeing this correctly?"
The Remit people have their own "Venture Capital Plan" to discover those with potential and provide various subsidies before they become successful.
Then when they become successful, they will give the Remit Group various returns.
The ones they bought and invested in are far more than just the church that turned a blind eye to them.
The dense investment network under the surface of business groups, pirates, ocean development companies, traditional nobles, and small countries makes their potential power terrifying.
[Golden Eyes] Michael certainly would not make a mistake.
He felt that the fledgling pirate Byron would sooner or later become a big man on the wanted list (Chapter 45).
But he never expected that in just a few months, he had grown to this point.
"How could I miss this potential stock? ! !
Lord, are you no longer looking after me?"
He was so upset that he beat his chest and stamped his feet, and wanted to vomit three liters of blood. He felt that he had missed 100 million!
"Go away, put away your weapons, you are scaring the guests in George Port."
Byron waved away the group of ferocious pirates under his command, smiled and nodded to Michael and said hello:
"Mr. Michael, I have heard everything clearly just now.
You are here for the loan of the hook, right?
You should have seen that they have been invested in my command as a whole. If you have any questions, just come to me.
However, we are all old acquaintances, and we know each other's situation.
I don't believe that your company will not have any mortgage or pledge. When I was in need of something, I lent the money out generously.
Moreover, I still remember that the [Golden Eyes], [Pawnbroker] and [Banker] of the Gold Yuan Sequence all had an ability called ‘Contract Fraud’ when they were at the third level, right?
It was because of this ability that everyone in the business circle was in danger.
Later, when I did business with you, everyone had to be equipped with a [Truth Ring], which greatly increased the cost of mutual trust in business. ”
Being exposed by Byron’s blunt words, even with the face of the profiteer Michael, his expression could not help but show a bit of unnaturalness.
"Well, there is no such thing."
Under Byron's amusing gaze, he finally confessed: "It's just a treasure map of 'Treasure Island'."
Then Michael changed the subject and never mentioned the loan contract again. Instead, he showed his true colors as a profiteer to Byron and enthusiastically sold it:
"Captain Byron, I have asked the navigator and the pilot to identify it.
According to the equiangular route, the route is planned in combination with the compass, and the specific coordinates of the Treasure Island are determined by the wind rose map.
The location is Bantaan Islands!
You should know that it is the treasure place of the great pirate Flint, where countless gold and silver are buried.
And it only appears in prime number years. Every time it appears, the treasure on it will be more than the last time. If you miss this opportunity, you may have to wait for decades for the next time.
By then, we will be too old to find treasures again.
It can be said that it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
How about it, are you interested in buying a copy? I can give you a discount. "
He rubbed his fingers in front of Byron.
[Curved Hook] is dead, and the treasure map as collateral is naturally at his disposal. Relying on the reputation of Treasure Island, he has sold several copies and the loan has long been paid back.
Violent debt collection is just a matter of trying to maximize profits.
"Oh~, it turned out to be the treasure map of Treasure Island!"
Hearing the news of Treasure Island again, Byron was really surprised.
I always feel that the frequency of hearing this word is a bit high recently.
But he didn't show much interest in the treasure map, but stepped forward and held his hand affectionately.
"Let's talk about Treasure Island later.
Come on, Mr. Michael, I actually have a good business here that is sure to make money and I won't tell ordinary people about it."
Byron put his arm around Michael's shoulders, pointed to the large tracts of undeveloped wasteland outside Georgetown, and said passionately:
"Merchants are the most well-informed and should know what is happening on the fertile Yucatan Island, a land of milk and honey.
But you may not know that the Georgetown International Port, located on a major transportation route, is about to open to the public.
Some people say that wise men create opportunities, strong men seize opportunities, and weak men wait for opportunities. Mr. Michael, what do you think?
The land in our Taiman Islands is a scarce resource with a beautiful price and a low down payment. The quicker you act, the more you lose! "
Should the creditor be killed or not? Of course he should be killed.
But it is not a physical killing, but a "slaughtering", the "slaughtering" of slaughtering fat sheep and the "cutting" of cutting leeks.
