The next afternoon! After a short and boring day of sailing, Qiaoluo finally returned to the island where his family is located.
Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar scene in front of me, I couldn't help but sigh at the rapid passage of time. From the time I traveled to the pirate world to the present, almost two years have passed without realizing it.
After casually parking the boat on the shore near the island, he jumped out of the boat and walked towards the family base on the island.
But he didn't go long before he was stopped by a group of people.
"Who is it? How dare you break into the Douglas family!" Suddenly, people dressed as guards blocked Qiao Luo's path, and they were all at war with each other!
But when everyone saw the face of the incoming man clearly, they all put away the weapons in their hands, knelt down on one knee, and shouted loudly: See you, young master!
Get up, by the way! Where is your father now? Qiao Luo casually asked everyone to get up.!
The leader of the guard stood up and came to Qiaoluo and answered the question.
Returning to the young master, the master of the house is currently discussing matters with the person in charge of the Chamber of Commerce in the hall. We are waiting outside to prevent people with ulterior motives from sneaking in.
After hearing this, Qiao Luo said to the guards: You should continue to be on guard. I will go back to talk to my father about old times first! After saying that, before the guards could react, he stood up and his body disappeared instantly!
"So fast!"
The leader of the guard couldn't believe his eyes. It had only been half a year since he had seen Qiao Luo. His speed was so fast that he couldn't catch his figure with his eyes.
Seeing that he couldn't catch up with Qiao Luo, he had no choice but to take out a phone bug from his pocket and report the news of Qiao Luo's return to the family!
Deep in the inner hall, the butler Jerrod, who was sitting on a chair, was looking at the newspaper in his hand attentively. However, the sound of a phone call pulled his thoughts away from the newspaper.
Bulu Bulu! Hello! Master Jerrod?
"It's me, what's going on."
Guard: "We just discovered that Young Master Qiaoluo is back. At this time, he is rushing to the hall where the head of the family holds meetings. It is estimated that he will arrive there in a short time."
What! The young master is back. I want to report such a big thing to him as soon as possible and give him a surprise. After saying that, I hurriedly hung up the phone and walked to the hall.
hall..........!
At this time, the heads of the Douglas family, headed by Joan, were sitting around a long table.
At this time, I heard Qiao An speaking to everyone!
Qiao An: The World Government has recently begun to take action on the family business. It invites everyone to come to a meeting to brainstorm ideas and see if you have any good countermeasures.
Everyone was silent. After a while, a man with a beard said: The world government is getting more and more shameless. In the past, it only increased our family's taxes. Now it's better. It directly increases the tax on the waterway by ten times.
The taxation is obviously robbing our family's business.
There is no way! Who said our business route cannot bypass their waterway? Another person on the side said with a sigh!
Qiao An: It seems that the World Government wants to steal business from our family. I heard that the World Government is currently supporting a pirate business called Doflamingo in the New World!
It seems that the world government wants to transfer our family's business to the puppets they support. Qiao An thought deeply: "It seems that something must be done, otherwise our allies will know about it and think we are afraid."
A world government."
"But the most important thing right now is to safely send back the materials shipped from all over the world. After all, we have received orders from many old customers this time." Qiao An said with a solemn expression!
"Once the goods are not delivered to the customer, it will cause a serious blow to the Douglas family's reputation."
"Compared to the loss of reputation, the financial loss is nothing at all."
"By the way, what's going on with that batch of goods now?" Qiao An turned to Shadow No. 1 standing next to him and said.
"The last time we contacted him was half an hour ago. He said everything went well on the voyage." Shadow returned respectfully from the side.
Listening to the shadow guard's words, Qiao An did not answer the words and turned around to respond. Instead, he said in a low tone, "Is there any news from No. 3 and No. 4?"
No. 1 said solemnly, his eyes narrowed into thin slits, "Don't worry, Mr. Family Master, they will travel separately, one from the northwest and the other from the northeast. In addition, they have bribed those moths in advance.
, with their support, even if the World Government guys are prepared, they will not be able to intercept them at the same time. They will only focus on one and miss the other, and end up at a loss."
"I hope so."
Qiao An frowned slightly. For some reason, after planning this cargo transportation operation, he always had an inexplicable and uneasy premonition in his heart.
There is a voice telling me that even if I bribe those people, this transportation will definitely not be as easy to win as it seems on the surface...
Boom!
Just as his thoughts were spreading, the door of the hall was suddenly pushed open from the outside, and a security officer holding a phone in his hand rushed in in a panic, and kept shouting:
"It's not good, my lord, it's not good!"
The eyes of everyone in the hall immediately focused on the face of the security officer who rushed in. Qiao An looked displeased, put down the tea cup in his hand, and said in a cold tone:
"What do you look like in a panic? If you have any information, tell me directly. Stop annoying me with your nagging!
Something happened on the 3rd. They just received news from the phone bug that they encountered a sneak attack by a group of pirates in the waters of the World Government.
We are still fighting and have no idea what the outcome will be!
"Hmph! Shameless! Those people from the World Government are really shameless. "There are pirates in their jurisdiction. I think it was the people from the World Government who did it." Qiao An put down the cup in his hand heavily, and then said
Said coldly!
"Come here, please contact the people from our affiliated kingdoms. This time, the world government is unkind, so don't blame our Douglas family for being unjust." After that, he was about to contact the people from this faction.
Suddenly, there was another sound from the door! Dong! Dong! Dong!
I saw Qiaoluo's personal butler Jerrod coming in panting and shouting: "Master, this is a big deal!"
"What's going on? What's it like? Didn't you see we were in a meeting? It's a coincidence that Jerrod happened to bump into Qiao An when he was in a bad mood!
If I can't tell you anything big today, I'll ask you the only question, Qiao An said sternly!
No! No! The young master is back! Jerrod stammered and reported the news of Qiao Luo's return to Joan!
What! Qiao An suddenly stood up in shock and said: Quick, put down everything you are doing and come with me to pick him up.
At this moment, he is no longer the head of a family, but the president of a kingdom. His identity at this moment is that of a simple father!
Just when he was about to go out to greet Qiao Luo, a figure appeared in the hall and said: Who are you going to pick up?
