After hearing these words, Ye Chen secretly sighed in his heart, but he didn't feel very surprised.
To be honest, how many people who can survive in a place like this to this day are innocent and kind?
Even for the sailor walking beside him at this moment, who can guarantee that he does not have two lives on his hands?
"Since you know this guy is not a good guy, why do you still want to make a deal with him?"
The sailor glanced at Ye Chen.
Then he sighed softly.
"Because of Chief Abe."
"First Mate Abe?"
The gloomy face of a middle-aged man suddenly flashed in Ye Chen's mind.
He had some influence on this man. He had seen this Oriental man next to Smith when he boarded the ship.
Because Ye Chen has never been to Japan, Ye Chen neither likes nor hates Japan as a country.
But this man named Ishigo Abe gave Ye Chen a very bad impression.
If I had to say the reason, it might be that that guy always looked like everyone in the world owed me five million, which made Ye Chen feel uncomfortable.
"It is said that Chief Abe has some friendship with the people who talk about this place."
"Therefore, they are willing to deliver the goods to us at a price that is five percent lower than the market price."
"But now something like this happened..."
Ye Chen gave a sigh of relief, but then he realized something was wrong.
He turned to look at the sailor again.
"You don't seem to be surprised at all by this situation..."
The sailor just smiled bitterly.
"First Officer Abe has long wanted to take over the Black Fang and the entire mercenary group from the captain."
"It's just a matter of opportunity and the large group of brothers on the ship who are loyal to the captain."
Ye Chen gently scratched his hair.
It seems that he joined at the wrong time, and he happened to be involved in the power seizure situation...
"Actually, it's not just Chief Officer Abe. Because the captain is getting older, there are also many people who want the captain to step down as soon as possible. In this way, he may be able to end up with a decent end."
"But you don't belong to that group of people, do you?"
Ye Chen slowly asked.
The sailor nodded, admitting Ye Chen's guess.
"Like you, I was recruited by the captain himself. To be honest, when I first came here, I was almost the same as your brother."
"He was lawless, acted wantonly, and did many things on his own initiative that made the captain feel embarrassed."
"But even so, the captain still hasn't given up on me, until now."
"So, you are repaying your kindness?"
Perhaps because both of them were caught, the sailor was much more relaxed than before.
"It is, but it is not."
"If I really wanted to repay the favor, I should let him abdicate."
"The captain should enjoy his life, instead of wandering around the sea every day, dealing with these heinous criminals."
Ye Chen could somewhat understand the complex feelings in the sailor's heart.
Just like he did with Su Yunqing, when he gathered the Blackwood Boxes, it was found out that Su Yunqing was indeed the living sacrifice of the Blackwood Boxes. If he was really doing good for Su Yunqing, he should take the initiative to stay away from her.
But……
If I had chosen another path at that time, maybe I wouldn't be here, right?
Just as he was thinking so wildly, the person leading the way suddenly stopped.
Ye Chen's originally narrow horizon suddenly became wider.
In the center of the square in front of you is a building that looks like a circus tent. The umbrella-shaped roof is covered with various light bulbs, and colorful neon colors flow around the entire square like water.
Bonfires were lit everywhere in the square, and hundreds of gangsters dressed similarly to Ye Chen were surrounding the bonfires, howling like ghosts.
It looks like a drawing of hell.
"The boss is waiting for you inside. When you walk over, someone will tell you what to do."
The gangster who brought Ye Chen and the others tilted his head towards the building that looked like a circus tent, then turned around and joined a "bonfire group".
"Little ones! We have guests!"
He opened his arms and suddenly shouted loudly.
"Alas!"
"Ha ha!"
“Ohhhhhhh!!!”
Then there was a sound that was enough to make people feel dizzy.
Ye Chen suddenly had the urge to kill everyone present, but the voice of the person next to him appeared in time.
"Don't be influenced by this group of people."
"Look carefully at what they are burning..."
The sailor's voice remained as calm as ever.
Ye Chen followed the other party's words and carefully looked at the wreckage that was burning in flames in the square.
It's not like ordinary wood or firewood.
To be honest...it's more like what a certain plant stem looks like after drying...
"That's the stem of the poppy flower."
The sailor's voice answered Ye Chen's doubts.
"Although it is not addictive, it can still affect the minds of ordinary people."
The sailor glanced at Ye Chen gently, with a bit of emotion in his eyes that Ye Chen couldn't understand.
"Little handsome boy! Come and play!"
There are also female members in gangster groups.
To them, outside men like Ye Chen and Sailor are just like fat sheep.
Whether it's their faces that haven't been corroded by poison or their alluring torsos, it's an irresistible temptation for these women who live in darkness all day long.
"I can make you so happy that you fly!"
"How about it?
Do you want to have a shot with me?"
"Hahaha……"
But what made Ye Chen feel the most horrified was that there were even several men's voices mixed in among these obscene smiles...
"Hey! Whether you trash will die or not has nothing to do with me."
"But I advise you to stay away from both of them.
"
"They are the people that the boss wants. If the boss cuts off our daily supply because of this."
"I'll kill you!"
The gangster who brought Ye Chen here shouted loudly.
"Hush!"
The women who were interrupted protested and raised their middle fingers at each other.
Amidst the noise, Ye Chen and the sailor finally arrived in front of the building.
"Are you two here to pick up the goods?"
A woman swaying her big breasts and twisting her waist came out of the building and walked in front of Ye Chen and the two of them.
"Well, our first mate should have already agreed with you on everything."
The woman chuckled and then nodded.
"Of course, of course, my master has been waiting for you two for more than a while."
The woman turned sideways and made way for Ye Chen and the two of them.
"Then you two, please come with me. I will take you two to see my master."
Then, the woman twisted her waist again and walked into the building.
