But Abe Isoh is different from Sailor Azhi. He has almost written the words "I want to betray" on his face. If Shi Mi decides to kill Abe Isoh, not only will there be no panic in the mercenary group,
, Smith’s actions can actually have the effect of killing the chicken to scare the monkey.
Smith actually said this personally to Ye Chen earlier today.
From a subjective point of view, what Azhi did was not a betrayal. Even from an outsider's perspective, even Ye Chen couldn't sense from him that he wanted to betray Smith.
Therefore, Smith could not take action against Azhi. Therefore, if Smith really wanted to deal with the two culprits who created the dock explosion at the same time, he should first send Azhi to the Black Hawk Gang for personnel selection.
In this way, even if Azhi died during the selection process, it would not be considered as Smith's personal action.
From a rational point of view, this also seems reasonable...
But why did Smith choose Isoh Abe in the end?
He chose to let Ishigo Abe jump into the fire pit of the Blackhawks selection?
In Ye Chen's opinion, Smith's move was really bad.
Regardless of the fact that Smith wasted an opportunity to eliminate dissidents around him and gave his recommendation qualification to a person who was almost certain to die.
Moreover, when Smith made this decision, he was destined to offend Ye Chen and Zhao Hailong.
Ye Chen emphasized this to Smith during the cargo hold transaction.
What you need is two qualifications! If the other party only gives you one qualification, then there is nothing to say.
Ye Chen has already begun to consider whether he wants to change his family. If he does it now, it might still be too late.
He looked down at his palm, and the moonlight was like water, slowly falling on his palm.
Clench your fist slowly.
Kill Smith first, and then make a deal with Ishigo Abe to regain the two recommendation qualifications.
Ye Chen only needs to enter the channels of the Black Hawk Gang. As for what the Black Fang Mercenary Group will become in the future, this is not something he needs to consider.
He knew very well the purpose of his trip abroad this time, and Su Yunqing's priority was higher than anything else.
but……
Something strange...
Ye Chen raised his head and looked at the bright moon above his head.
Logically speaking, Smith should be very clear that among the Yu brothers, the one who makes decisions or proposes plans is not Zhao Hailong but himself.
If Smith is not stupid, it means that his intelligence is above the level of ordinary adult men.
No matter how you look at the remaining qualification among the two qualifications, you should give it to yourself, right?
But Smith did not. He gave the qualification to Zhao Hailong...
This is why?
It couldn't possibly be because he felt that the Yu brothers were difficult to deal with when they were together, so he planned to transfer Zhao Hailong away from him first and then take the opportunity to slowly bribe him to see if he could use him for his own purposes, right?
…
Wait a minute!
Such a voice suddenly sounded in his mind, and Ye Chen clenched his fist and punched his palm.
"So that's what happened!"
…
Push open the door in front of you.
There were no lights on in the room, only three candles were burning slowly on the candlesticks, and the firelight continued to lengthen the shadows of the two people.
Ye Chen nodded slightly in the shadows.
"Are you here to ask me why I went back on my word?"
"As for that matter, I have already figured it out. I am here to ask you another matter."
The light source in Smith's hand shook slightly for a while. He straightened up and turned around to look at Ye Chen.
"Haha, Aaron, you really know everything..."
Ye Chen was stunned.
"No...I just know what I need to know..."
Smith waved his hand gently.
"Don't be nervous, I just think you are awesome."
He put the candlestick in his hand to his lips, exhaled slowly to extinguish it, and slowly sat on the chair behind the desk.
Because of the increase in age, there are always people in the Black Fang Mercenary Group who secretly say that Smith is getting old.
The aggressive and decisive temperament of the past has disappeared from him, replaced by the kind and gentle look between the old man's brows.
Now Smith seems to be tired of the life of killing pirates.
Unlike other mercenaries who are ruthless and rude, with a hint of ferocity in their bones, Smith may be killing more people just to protect the rest of his companions on the ship.
Therefore, many people say that Smith is old.
Whether he is old enough to even hold a gun is another matter.
It is precisely because of this that Abe Ishigo wanted to replace him, because the current Smith can no longer satisfy his ambitions and the desires of a pirate.
But at this moment, the author's old man in front of Ye Chen lowered his eyebrows slightly, as if he was asleep, but his aura spread throughout the room.
A faint smell of blood floated into Ye Chen's nose.
I don't know if it was an illusion, but when Ye Chen looked at Smith, he always felt that there was a hill made of dead people's bones behind him.
Countless dead souls were clinging to the chair behind Smith, their bony arms locked around the old man's limbs, and chains made of white bones wrapped around his throat.
He was not sitting on that chair, but was chained to that chair.
In this life, he can't escape from this chair. In this life, he can't get out of this room.
"Then, tell me what you know!"
The old captain's voice pulled Ye Chen out of his fantasy.
When Ye Chen came to his senses, he was shocked to realize that he was still standing in the room, but his hands and feet actually lost consciousness in an instant.
"You're trying to lure out the mole, right?"
Ye Chen took a deep breath to calm down as much as possible before speaking slowly.
Smith did not speak, but the smile on his lips proved that Ye Chen's conjecture was indeed correct.
"At first I thought you wanted to violate the deal between me and you, but then I thought about it, why did you leave the remaining qualifications to my brother."
"It wasn't until then that I realized that it was the secret code you left me."
Unknowingly, Ye Chen already had a hint of respect for Smith's title.
A man can carry so much on his own and advance to this point.
Ye Chen believed that he had the qualifications to pay him respect.
"That person wants to completely separate the people around you, so you left my brother on the recommendation list, right?"
Smith, who was sitting on the chair, nodded slightly, but still had no intention of speaking.
Ye Chen didn't know whether his guess was correct, but until such a moment came, he always had the excitement of a student who had submitted his answer sheet for an exam and then waited for the teacher's comments.
