In Violet Harbor at night, the swaying moored boats and the sea water beat each other, emitting a slightly rhythmic rhythm.
The rich man who had just attended a party at sea hugged each other and flirted with his female companion unscrupulously near the pier. A blind musician played the violin under the street lamp, and there were only a few cents in his box.
The drug addicts hide under the revetment and secretly smear joyful honey in their trouser pockets, while the prostitutes standing on the street glance greedily at all the men passing by with a terrifying look...
The smell of desire and wealth mixed in this gold-plated era is as thick as a viscous liquid, making countless people feel suffocated and addicting.
Will Evans didn't want to be that poor guy drowned by the times. He chose addiction, climbed higher, and entered the real upper world.
Now, he feels that he has succeeded half way, and the remaining half of the road will be very difficult. The most obvious obstacle is the old man who spends money like water on the luxury liner.
There is a huge luxury gambling boat docked outside Violet Harbor, which is three times larger than the Kaleidoscope that Thomas bought.
A large number of local wealthy people gathered on the ship, including people from the Huimin Chamber of Commerce and Rockefeller Ocean Trading.
Of course, Siqin would not participate in such a confusing occasion, and no one dared to invite the Berkeley family to participate.
However, Will came and spent a small amount of money to get the qualification to go on the boat. The purpose was to meet a few people and then have a showdown with one of them.
"Mr. Salamanchi! Are you interested in my previous proposal?" He held his cigar and walked towards one of the gray-haired old men.
When the other party saw him, his expression changed slightly, and he hurriedly dismissed the female companion beside him, as if he didn't want outsiders to see his meeting with Will Evans.
"Mr. Evans, my attitude has been made very clear." The old man raised his chin and replied to Will in an arrogant manner.
Faced with this slight, Will was not angry, but smiled and leaned into his ear, whispering: "The Rockefeller Company has squeezed the captains enough, who doesn't want to make some money to put in his own pocket?
?”
The old man glanced at him and said, "But you are cooperating with Is Ben, are you going to abandon him?"
After hearing this, Will glanced diagonally upwards. There was a huge gambling table on the terrace there. The surroundings were extremely lively, and many gamblers were spending large amounts of money on the table.
Among them, an old man was celebrating with his hands raised high, hugging his female companion and kissing her fiercely. The number of points he drew just now made him win a large sum of money.
That was Is Ben, who was slightly younger than the old man in front of Will.
Will lowered his gaze and continued to say to Mr. Salamanchi in front of him: "I came to show him today. The wrong cooperation is about to come to an end."
Salamanchi showed a curious expression: "Oh? It seems that our careerist is not satisfied with the contract?"
Will responded with a smile and did not continue to talk nonsense. After smoking his cigar, he went upstairs and found Is Ben who had returned triumphantly from the gambling table.
"We need to talk, Captain Isborne."
He got straight to the point without beating around the bush, and the other person seemed to know what he was going to say, and his face turned from excited at the beginning to gloomy.
The captain opened a separate private room and invited Will to sit down and talk.
"Prepare coffee for us!" Is Ben glanced at the waiter at the door, who nodded and left in a hurry.
"Is there any problem? Mr. Evans?" Is Ben sat on the sofa and crossed his legs.
Will took a deep breath and said bluntly: "It's still the same old topic, about the agreement between us and profit distribution."
"Ha..." the captain of the Greycove chuckled, "What? Is it 60-40 or 50-50 this time? Young man, I have warned you a long time ago. Position yourself correctly and see clearly where you are.
Value in this deal.”
"My value is to provide a channel for discharging goods, and I am fully responsible for the follow-up work after the cruise ship arrives in Renekton. Such efforts deserve better treatment!" This time, Will came prepared and spoke very forcefully.
Is Ben was even more disdainful: "Don't think I don't know who those guys are, the Cambino family! A familiar name in Renekton, you cooperate with the White Hand, you have a dirty soul hidden in your bones, 30% of you are against you
That's enough. In fact, without my ships and Rockefeller's frigates, you can't do anything."
Will stared at the other party quietly, and the corner of his mouth suddenly raised: "Huh, of course I know what the concept of Rockefeller's fleet is. Few ships can stably cross the sea of silence. This is the value of Rockefeller Company, but this huge company
You are not the only captain of the company."
Hearing this, Is Ben's expression changed.
He was silent for a moment and raised his face.
"No one wants to be like me, taking risks to earn personal property, and dare to sell goods without telling Rockefeller Company. They will definitely be severely punished."
After hearing this, Will continued to chuckle: "It is true that few people are willing, but no one is more greedy than you!"
Is Ben suddenly slapped the coffee table hard: "Will Evans! Do you want to break the contract?"
"The agreement between us has no legal effect. After all, what we are doing is not a legal business." Will was not frightened.
However, what happened next was beyond Will's expectation.
Isiben, who was still angry at first, suddenly calmed down and even smiled.
"I just saw you talking to Salamanchi. Could it be that he was the escape route you were looking for?"
Will did not expect that his actions just now were noticed by Is Ben, but he was not surprised either. Instead, he said logically: "I am just choosing high-quality partners."
"Excellent partner? Hahaha!" Is Ben suddenly clapped his hands, and the door opened in an instant. The waiter he had just called out to serve coffee was standing outside, and then three thugs wearing felt hats and uniforms appeared.
outside the door.
Will's expression changed, and as soon as he stood up, he saw Captain Salamanche following behind the group of thugs.
"you!?"
Will was stunned, but Is Ben said to him: "I have discovered your little trick of secretly contacting other captains a few days ago. Mr. Salamanchi is my friend, and he will definitely choose between you and me.
On my side, it's a pity that you are ambitious but extremely stupid..."
After hearing this, Will immediately realized the danger and reached out to touch his waist.
Snapped!
There was a gunshot, and Will's hand was shot through, causing blood to flow profusely.
"Ah~!"
He screamed and squatted on the ground. Fortunately, the bullet did not explode and only penetrated his palm.
Three thugs rushed in instantly, knocked him down and controlled him.
"If you kill me! The Cambino family will not let you go! Is Ben!"
Is Ben, who was cursed by Will, grinned: "You won't die here. Your life is still of some use. Let's go and have another drink at the place I arranged."
