Chapter 562: Intrigue and deceit
Su Mo wanted to complete the transaction on the same day, but he also knew that this was a bit excessive.
Count Gresham Morlick needs to recruit people from the prison of serious criminals and raise two million gold coins.
So he could only entrust Chatty Kangaroo to help him guard Master Todd, an aristocratic young master with almost no power, and a big BOSS in his fifties, whose strength was almost incomparable.
It's not an insult to say that Master Todd has no strength to tie a chicken. He can't beat a chicken with one leg.
The next day, Rorschach, the person entrusted by Su Mo, finally found a fishing boat willing to go to Shuke Island. It took a lot of effort to find the boat, mainly because the sea area was high and windy, and no one except pirates would set foot there.
Rorschach gave a lot of gold coins to make a young fisherman willing to risk going to sea.
Wealth comes from danger. For the price of five hundred gold coins, this fisherman brother can use the money to marry a beautiful wife and repair his little broken boat.
His goal was the ship.
This luxury liner cannot be sold in the southern waters. No one dares to buy anything from the Molik family, okay?
Not even the Holy See, there is no market.
The high priest either walks or rides a goat when traveling. His behavior is such that even nobles do not dare to enjoy such a luxurious cruise ship.
Only those magicians have money in their hands and are not afraid of luxury. Some of the great magicians are so luxurious that they can instantly kill the most luxurious nobles in the south. There is no need to worry about not being able to sell such a cruise ship there.
Of course, it is not an easy task to reach the far north through the vast sea.
Su Mo meant to let Luo Xia hang up the banner of Molik and leave with great fanfare, and complete the deal before the news spreads.
As for Master Todd who is still on Shuk Island.
Chatty Kangaroo will kill him and explode his equipment.
No matter how principled and righteous a person is, he cannot be soft-hearted when faced with such an executioner whose hands are stained with the blood of innocent people, not to mention that Su Laomo is not that pedantic.
That's right, Su Laomo never thought about actually sending people back.
Stab it, tear it up!
As he played this game, Su Mo felt more and more that the nobles had no good things.
Such a murderous maniac returns home full of fear. To quell this fear, he can only use the fear of others to calm him down. Only then can he feel at ease and he will torture and kill more innocent people.
As for not keeping your word.
Does what Laifu promised have anything to do with me, Su Mo?
The agreed time and place were at the edge of a forest, with vast mountains behind them. Su Mo and several people dressed as pirates saw several carriages slowly approaching.
This is not Tallinn, but the distance is not too far. The two parties agreed to pay money and pay people here, and not to send troops or anything like that.
Su Mo sent out more than twenty spies to ensure that there were no organized troops around. However, he also understood that this was a game. Maybe someone could tear up a scroll and summon 1,800 people, so he made up his mind to accept it.
Withdraw after getting Martin and gold coins.
Lord Gresham Morlick came in person.
"Where is my son?" This exquisite aristocratic gentleman disappeared all night, and he looked as decadent as if he had aged ten years.
Regardless of how worried he was about his son, he had to bear the risk of losing his heir and losing his qualification as duke heir. This time he only brought a few masters, and he didn't dare to use the army at all.
arranged.
"Bring it out!" Su Mo waved his hand back.
So a "Master Todd" was pulled out. His hands were tied and taped up. His head seemed to be broken, and his face was covered in blood.
However, Lord Gresham Morlick knew at a glance that this was his son.
If his son had not been tortured at all and was in a clean state, he would have felt that there was some fraud involved. Now that he saw his son in a state of embarrassment and being tied up and gagged, he immediately dispelled many of his doubts.
And Master Todd also became excited when he saw the Earl.
Struggling hard, whining and screaming, he tried to rush over but was held tightly. In the end, he burst into tears, which was a disgrace to the nobles.
Earl Gresham Morris was disgusted, but there was nothing he could do about it.
This damn thing is the key to his ability to inherit the title of Duke. If he had the ability of Count Macaulay, he would have thrown this thing away in the sewer long ago.
"The person we want still has money!" Su Mo waved his hand and motioned for his men to pull Master Todd back, and pointed the sharp knife at his neck, asking the master brought by Count Gresham Molick to do something.
Anyone who has a rat-proof weapon can only give up.
It's only two million gold coins. At most, it will squeeze more workers and exploit farmers more. There is no need to risk your own future.
Frankly speaking, Earl Gresham Molick was a little discouraged. He conducted a secret investigation all night and took risks and used a lot of force, but he failed to find out where Captain Sam's people came from.
Naturally, the family's passenger ship was not found either.
He almost alerted his younger brother. If he really found out, he would probably have to attack with a large army and force the pirates to fight.
"Bring it here. As long as you release my son honestly, Mr. Martin and these gold coins will be yours. I can also arrange channels to send you back to the sea." Earl Gresham Molick said sincerely.
An old man who was trembling slightly was pitiful.
Only the diners next to him know how cruel and ruthless this old guy is.
This group of people will split up to follow these pirates later, wait for them to join their accomplices, and then mobilize a large army to catch them all without giving these people a chance to return to the sea.
Even if you don't care about the pirate named Martin, even if you don't care about the humiliation suffered by the father and son.
Two million gold coins, packed into four large boxes, how could they just watch helplessly being taken away.
Count Gresham Molik deployed four lines of defense in the direction of the coastline, and even dispatched ability users who could not easily use them.
One carriage contained two boxes of gold coins, and another carriage contained a blue-faced Mr. Martin. After Su Mo and others checked that everything was correct, the two sides began to exchange hostages. Both parties were afraid that their opponents would fall out, so the handover was very careful.
Fortunately, neither side had any plans to fight on the spot.
Su Mo's heart is as dark as ink. He had already ripped up Master Todd, so why should he tear him up now?
Count Gresham Molick was worried that he or his son would be injured in the brawl. Anyway, these pirates couldn't run fast with a poisoned guy and four large boxes of gold coins.
Su Mo and others drove away in two carriages, and the earl also returned home with his son.
In the carriage, Master Todd finally stopped struggling. He was untied, the tape on his mouth was torn off, and he just kept wailing. Everyone understood that he had just escaped danger, and they were in agitated mood, so they didn't doubt it.
Chapter completed!
