Smith carried Abe Ishigo forward slowly, while Ye Chen followed him and listened quietly to the other person's recounting of the past.
"I still remember that day clearly."
"A rare typhoon landed on this small island. There were strong winds and waves on the sea, but we were having fun on the Black Tooth, drinking and indulging."
Smith looked back at Ye Chen.
"It was under these circumstances that that happened."
He scratched his hair, as if he really didn't want to recall what happened that night.
"Mark's current wife at the time and now ex-wife somehow got into the party on the Black Fang."
"That woman is good-looking and has a great figure, and I drank a lot that night..."
There was a bit more hesitation on Smith's face, as if he was hesitating whether to continue speaking.
"So, you hooked up with that woman?"
Ye Chen looked at Smith and raised his eyebrows slightly.
There wasn't much contempt in his eyes.
After all, he had heard about how open-minded overseas people were.
Although the woman was a married woman, the fact that she boarded the opponent's ship the day before the war spoke volumes in itself.
"Um……"
Smith nodded slightly, confirming Ye Chen's statement.
One-night stands don't happen very frequently abroad, let alone pirates like Smith.
Even ordinary people's laws cannot restrain them, let alone ordinary people's ethics and morals.
But if this was the case, Ye Chen became more and more puzzled.
According to the development of this plot, at most Mark will discover the adultery between his wife and Smith.
"The way you looked just now, it doesn't look like his wife slept with you and was broken up by him..."
If Smith hadn't said anything, look at the appearance of the two of them just now.
Marven had every reason to believe that it was Smith who discovered that his wife had been sleeping with Smith...
Smith looked at Ye Chen quietly.
Ye Chen suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.
He looked at Smith and was speechless for a moment.
"You...couldn't..."
"Really?
!”
Smith sighed, then nodded slowly.
"That's right! That's just the bait to lure me in."
"William is not the first mole lurking on the Black Fang. As early as ten years ago, I was betrayed and plotted."
"That night, my wife, Catherine, broke into my room while I was in the same room with that woman."
"So...she saw everything?"
Ye Chen shook his head and showed a wry smile.
This is the first time I've seen a beauty trap used like this. From this point of view, although this Mark is quite stupid, the Smith of ten years ago probably wasn't smart either.
My wife was sleeping with another woman so openly on the boat.
Although there was a sigh in his heart, there was no unnecessary expression on Ye Chenming's face.
After all, to put it bluntly, ten years have passed since the incident, and Smith himself must have deeply hated himself at the time. There is no point in being an afterthought now.
Moreover, he and Smith were just partners, and he had no qualifications nor interest in dictating the past of the man in front of him.
"Then what?"
"Then……"
Smith smiled bitterly, and then looked at Ye Chen.
"If you also have someone you like, you should be able to guess what will happen next, right?"
Ye Chen looked at Smith quietly and nodded lightly.
"No matter how I explain it or think about it, I can't find a valid reason to be forgiven for what I did that night. This is also as it should be. As a married man, I hooked up with a married woman.
Together."
"If this can be forgiven, then this world may be the one that is abnormal."
"That night, Catherine left the Black Tusk. There was a huge storm that night, and the waves almost swallowed the entire pier."
"I didn't understand where she could go in that situation. I searched for her on the island all night, but in the end I was never able to find where she was."
"I returned to the ship. The banquet was stopped midway. After learning the news of her departure, the mercenary group immediately split into two factions."
"Not all the original members of the Black Fang Mercenary Group were recruited by me alone."
"Many of them are working under me because of Catherine."
"After learning about my behavior, many people wanted to detain my captaincy and transfer it to Catherine."
"The other group of people, represented by Azhi and Ishigo Abe, think that this kind of thing is quite common among pirates, but it is Catherine who is making a fuss out of it."
"From that moment on, I knew that the former Black Fang Mercenary Group no longer existed."
Ye Chen said nothing.
Although I have some feelings in my heart, to put it bluntly, the reason why everything developed like this is all the fault of this man.
Perhaps Smith was indeed a very charismatic leader before, or perhaps the Black Fang mercenary group under his command was indeed invincible before.
But these are all based on the efforts of others.
From the current point of view, Abe Isoh is very responsible for the reason why he can still hold the position of captain of the Black Fang.
If they hadn't supported Smith in the first place, I'm afraid this flamboyant and confident man would have been dragged down from the position of captain long ago.
But... why?
Ye Chen lowered his head and started thinking.
It can be heard from Smith's words that he is neither sure that he can be a good captain nor does he have any plans to revitalize the Black Fang Mercenary Group, so why?
Why does he still insist on occupying the position of captain of the Black Tusk?
"Your wife..."
Ye Chen paused and reorganized his words.
"What happened to your ex-wife?"
"Did you find her?"
As if a pain point had been stabbed, Smith suddenly stopped in his tracks.
He turned to look at Ye Chen, then lowered his head and looked away.
"She...is dead..."
Ye Chen narrowed his eyes slightly after hearing this.
"died?"
"In a place like this?"
"Um!"
Smith nodded and closed his eyes.
"Let me tell you what's next!"
Another voice suddenly came from my shoulder.
At some point, Ishigo Abe regained consciousness. He lay on Smith's shoulder and looked at the two of them.
"Abe Isoh..."
Ye Chen looked at the man with a slightly wary expression.
"Okay, okay, don't be so nervous, I'm just a dying person."
"Besides, you know very well that even if I am not restrained, I am still no match for the two of you."
An Bei Shiwu, who was placed on the ground by Smith, took a long breath.
