"Mr. Xiao Chen, I personally think you are an honest person. Even if you are not, I am willing to take a gamble for the pleasant conversation we just had." Morag decided to join, "If you are willing to pay 10,000 gold coins,
I will fight with you."
"I trust Captain Morag's intuition, count me in." Suarez also agreed to join.
"When are you going to start the war? Where are we going to meet? Before that, you must also be responsible for providing us with enough supplies." Brinton also decided to join, and they all started to talk about specific matters.
"Of course, you also have to pay a tenth deposit in advance." Nelson said.
"Mr. Morag, now I know you are an excellent businessman. You are really good at bargaining. This price makes me embarrassed and I can't refuse." Xiao Chen smiled bitterly, "Okay, it's ten thousand.
I promise you a gold coin."
This price is actually completely acceptable to Xiao Chen, ten thousand gold coins, which is equivalent to one hundred thousand taels of silver.
He had already inquired before, and Morag and the others each had more than 200 subordinates.
If Xiao Chen treats his soldiers according to the treatment, fifty taels per person for settling-in expenses, plus twenty taels for departure, this will be nearly 20,000 taels, plus a warship with quite fierce firepower... ten
Ten thousand taels of silver is really not much at all.
As for when the war will begin, it has not been decided yet, but if you agree to join, then set off with me.
I will arrange for you to be stationed in Haining Bay. Of course, I will be responsible for all supplies and ensure that you have meat to eat every day.
"Wow, ten thousand gold coins?" Black Pearl's eyes widened, "Are you serious, sir?"
"Of course." Xiao Chen didn't know where this black girl came from, "Why are you also interested?"
"Sounds good, let me join." Seeing Xiao Chen's surprised look, Black Pearl smiled slightly and said, "I have a boat."
Just having a boat is not enough...
"Why are you questioning my strength?" Seeing that Xiao Chen still didn't speak, Black Pearl became a little unhappy. If it weren't for Xiao Ye's concern, he might have started a lawsuit directly.
"Dear Black Pearl, we didn't know you had a ship?" Morag said with a smile.
"You know now, the fastest ship in the port is mine." Black Pearl said.
"The fastest ship?" Suarez said, "Are you talking about the Jack?"
"No, it no longer belongs to that damn bastard Jack, it belongs to me now, and its name is Black Pearl." Black Pearl said.
Uh... Several pirate leaders looked at each other and smiled meaningfully.
"Hey, how are you?" Black Pearl glared at Xiao Chen, "My Black Pearl is the fastest and most powerful warship on the sea."
"But are you sure you have the right to command this ship?" Xiao Chen felt from the conversations between several people that there seemed to be some hidden secret in this matter.
And the Jack they were talking about was the Captain Jack who just defrauded him of a hundred gold coins and then disappeared again?
"Of course, that damn Jack owes me a lot of gold coins. He has mortgaged the Black Pearl to me, including his bastard men." Black Pearl said.
Damn it, why are there still debt disputes?
Well, just now Jack said he needed to deal with the debt, probably this was it, but he hasn't dealt with it well now.
"In fact, I have already made a contract with Captain Jack. I think his ship is your Black Pearl, right? If I sign a contract with you again..." Xiao Chen also scratched his head a little.
"You fool, Jack is lying to you!" Black Pearl shouted loudly, "You can find him now and let us confront him face to face!"
It sounds like she's in charge.
"How much gold does poor Jack owe you?" Morag asked.
"A whole ten thousand gold coins!" Black Pearl said, "He will never be able to pay it back in his lifetime."
Suddenly, they heard a burst of noise coming from the door, and everyone turned to look, only to see a dozen big men rushing in surrounded by a frustrated Captain Jack.
"Thank God!" Jack caught a glimpse of Xiao Chen and hurriedly ran over and hugged Xiao Chen warmly, "My friend, thank God you are still here!"
Before Xiao Chen could speak, Black Pearl's scimitar was already placed on his neck, "You damn bastard finally showed up, let's see where you are going this time!"
The dozen or so big men also gathered around, shouting loudly for Jack to pay back the money!
"Oh oh oh, Black Pearl, don't do this, please put the knife away first and let me deal with the debts of these friends first, okay? Otherwise they will kill me." Captain Jack quickly raised his hands.
"Hmph, I will kill you too, right now!" Although Black Pearl said this, she put away the scimitar.
"Before you kill me, can you lend me two hundred gold coins?" Captain Jack said shamelessly.
"I won't lend you another gold coin, you nasty liar!" Black Pearl's dark face turned red with anger.
"Oh... I thought we were friends." Captain Jack sighed and looked at Xiao Chen expectantly, "Fortunately, Mr. Xiao Chen is my friend, he will help me, right?"
"Hahaha, Jack, you lost again?" Brinton gloated.
"Fuck! My luck is terrible this year!" Captain Jack shook his head and sighed.
It turned out that after he just took the gold coins from Xiao Chen, he immediately went to the nearby gambling house to bet with others. He probably wanted to win some gold coins to repay Black Pearl's debt, but it backfired and he lost everything again.
Instead, I owed him two hundred gold coins.
"Of course, we are friends." Xiao Chen was indeed a good friend, so he asked Fu Yan to take out two hundred taels of gold and pay those big men to send them away.
"I love you, Xiao!" Captain Jack was so excited that he gave Xiao Chen another big hug and kept kissing him on the face, "I want to kiss you a hundred times!"
"I love you too, dear Jack, but we have to have a good talk." Xiao Chen pulled him to sit down, "Let's start with the boat that no longer belongs to you, okay?"
"What's the current price?" Jack didn't answer Xiao Chen's words, but asked Morag next to him.
"Ten thousand gold coins, but this is the agreement we just reached with Mr. Xiao Chen, and you only have five thousand gold coins, dear Jack." Morag smiled.
"Hey, don't be kidding!" Captain Jack said seriously, "Xiao, let's make a formal agreement. Give me 10,000 gold coins, and my Jack and I will follow you anywhere in the world."
"It's the Black Pearl!" Black Pearl said loudly.
"My dear, don't be like this, you have already taken possession of my body and can no longer take over my ship. You know that ship is my lifeblood!" Captain Jack said, "When I earn these ten thousand gold coins, I will
Will pay your debt!"
"You damn liar, bastard, villain, and coward!" Black Pearl immediately ran away after hearing this, pulled out her machete again, and slashed directly at Jack.
Wilson and others on the side quickly grabbed her and persuaded her for a long time before finally getting her to calm down.
It seems that there is not only a debt dispute between her and Jack, but also an emotional entanglement...
