On the high seas of the East, a grand celebration banquet is being held on the Black Fang.
Although it stands to reason that the loss of the goods was definitely Smith's fault, it would not be surprising if the big shots from the Black Hawk Gang were to pursue the case and take the captain's hat off Smith.
But in fact, both the sailors on the Black Fang and Smith himself knew why the drug lord cooperated with the Black Fang mercenary group.
So if we really want to investigate, everything will be fine if Abe Isoh is pushed out.
Besides, the sailors on the ship are all hot-blooded young men.
Although they were forced to lose their goods today, they blew up that guy's entire dock. Even if they didn't completely win back the victory, they still felt bad.
And judging from its popularity and influence, this explosion is enough to make the front page of Dongyun Nation’s newspapers tomorrow.
Therefore, when Smith announced that he would hold a celebration banquet, the vast majority of the Black Fang Mercenary Group cheered.
However, some of them are not happy.
Among them, Chief Officer Ishigo Abe and Sailor Azhi are the best examples.
Because the former's plan was exposed, everyone on the ship knew that this person was a young man who wanted to usurp the throne. For mercenaries, it may be common for mercenaries to go back on their word when doing things for money.
But the sense of partnership among mercenaries is extremely strong.
After all, if they can't even trust their partners standing behind them during a battle, who else in this world can they trust?
Therefore, mercenaries are particularly strict about betrayal.
To put it bluntly, Abe Ishigo can still stay on the ship at this time entirely because Smith has not yet given an order on how to deal with this guy.
Otherwise, I'm afraid it would have been buried in the belly of the fish long ago.
As for Sailor Azhi...
He didn't care what his fellow shipmates thought of him.
After all, his purpose from beginning to end was just to hope that Smith could retire and leave this life of walking on the edge of a knife as soon as possible.
But even so, there is still a problem...
That was Smith's attitude after learning about Abe Isoh's plan.
When Azhi returned to the Black Fang, Smith didn't even look at him.
That kind of attitude is like that of a stranger.
He could understand Smith. After all, he was the person closest to him. No matter what his purpose was, Smith sent him to pick up the goods because he believed in him.
But in exchange for his trust, he was betrayed by himself.
I am afraid that this kind of result will make anyone feel chilling...
Azhi looked down at the yellow liquid in the wine glass and sighed softly.
Then he drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.
"What's bothering you?"
A man's voice suddenly came from behind him. Azhi slowly turned around, but what he saw was a face that he least wanted to see at this moment.
"Aaron..."
He turned back to look at the calm sea level under the moonlight.
"You are the protagonist of this party, does it really matter if you run away?"
That's right, in this whole farce, whether the Yu brothers were brought back by the international mercenary group or pushed the box with the time bomb into the tiger's den alone, these performances were ignored by all the members of the Black Tooth Mercenary Group.
See it in your eyes.
Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that this celebration banquet was actually Ye Chen's joining party.
"Ah... our eldest brother will take care of it over there."
"Let's come out and take a breath."
Ye Chen smiled softly, then leaned on the edge of the boat and looked up at the bright moon in the night sky.
"But having said that, the moon on the sea is really big and bright..."
"We remember the last time we saw moonlight like this was when we were a little kid."
"Can people like you who are floating on the sea see this kind of moon every day?"
Faced with Ye Chen's mention, Azhi did not reply.
"Why?"
He asked in a low voice.
"What?"
Ye Chen turned to look at the other person, with some curiosity on his face.
"Why are you still able to chat with me so casually?"
"You should know that I betrayed you and your brother, right?
!”
"You should know the deal I made with First Officer Abe, right?"
"I took you to that place on purpose! I knew clearly that those riot police officers were brought by Muda for some reason, but I still just stood there."
"I didn't do anything even though those riot police officers took you away!"
Ah Zhi slammed the wine glass in his hand onto the deck.
"Crack!"
The glass shattered, and the shards, along with the remaining wine, flew everywhere at their feet.
Ye Chen scratched the back of his head.
"Ah...you mean that..."
He turned his head and continued to look at the bright moon above the sea level.
"Although we escaped from China and came here, we are no longer a child."
Ye Chen's tone was unusually calm, but the calmer the tone, the more Azhi didn't know what kind of expression he should use to face the person in front of him.
He hoped that Ye Chen would angrily come to him to hold him accountable. At that time, no matter what kind of request Yu Haolong made, even asking him to die to apologize, he would be able to accept it happily.
This can be regarded as an explanation of one's own heart.
But no, after the incident was over, he asked him for nothing. But the more this happened, the more the sailor suffered in his heart.
"The Black Fang Mercenary Group is a very good mercenary group, and Captain Smith is also a very good captain."
"Azhi, Captain Smith should be considered a very important person to you, right?"
Ye Chen turned to look at the sailor and smiled slightly.
But as if he already had the answer in his heart, Ye Chen didn't wait for his answer and just continued speaking on his own.
"As for us brothers, let alone whether we really joined the Black Fang Mercenary Group..."
"Azhi, you have to know that even Captain Smith's purpose in letting us join the Black Fang Mercenary Group in the first place was to use us as cannon fodder!"
"So, if we really want to be held accountable, then we brothers should not be on this ship at all."
Ye Chen smiled awkwardly, and then took a sip of the liquid in the cup.
"Then why do you continue to stay here?
Aren't you afraid that we will let you two brothers continue to die?"
"Hmph..."
Ye Chen raised his head and smiled proudly.
"Don't look at me like this, but I'm actually a pretty ambitious guy."
Ye Chen pretended to look around, then approached Azhi and whispered in a low voice.
"Actually, we made a deal with Captain Smith."
"As long as we continue to stay in the Black Fang Mercenary Group, he will give the two recommended places given by the Black Hawk Gang to us brothers!"
"Pfft!"
But when Ye Chen just finished speaking, Azhi couldn't help but laugh softly.
