Back in Renekton, Captain Isbon couldn't wait to arrange a meeting with Mike.
Just in case, he asked Mike to come alone, otherwise he would end Will's life on the spot.
And if it is confirmed that Mike and Will have a close relationship and will not commit betrayal, Captain Isben also prepared a back-up move, which is also the confidence he believes that he will be invincible.
The agreed meeting address is in a warehouse in Port Violet.
Different from the fishing port, the security here is good, and there are dock guards patrolling outside from time to time. After receiving Is Ben's letter, Mike readily agreed to go to negotiate.
Many people in the gang tried to persuade him, but Mike rejected them all.
"Although Port Violet is the territory of the Rockefeller Company and is patrolled by guards, it is inevitable that the other party will not use tricks. If you go alone, you will easily be ambushed by the other party." A small family leader said to Mike.
Mike sat on the sofa and stared at the grandfather clock on the side. When the bell rang on the hour, he stood up, picked up his coat and put it on.
"I have decided that you are not allowed to follow me. This is an order."
He gave orders to his gang like an officer, then opened the door and left the stronghold, taking advantage of the night to head to the address specified by the captain.
…
After arriving at the negotiating position, the first thing Mike saw was the open warehouse door and the two menacing crew members guarding the door.
Although they were wearing sailor uniforms, looking at their expressions, they looked like thugs hired by Isben who had changed their skins.
"You can't bring weapons in. Leave your guns and knives behind."
After hearing this, Mike took out the revolver from his waist and handed it to the other person. Then the person began to search his whole body rudely and did not stop until no other weapons were found.
"This thing must be kept." Another gatekeeper sailor asked Mike to keep his cane.
Mike frowned, and finally handed the stick to the other party: "Don't drop it, you can't afford the compensation."
After the handover was completed, the two people stepped aside and asked Mike to enter the warehouse.
It was very empty inside, with only the lamps lit above the open space in the middle, and the old man who invited Mike brought a wooden chair and sat in the center.
There was an empty stool in front of the other party, which seemed to be specially prepared for Mike.
Standing next to him was a man wearing sunglasses. The man's hand was always in a position to reach the gun at any time. He should be an excellent bodyguard hired by Is Ben.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Three rounds of applause, Is Ben admired Mike's courage.
"As expected of the underground emperor of the wharf and fishing port, no one else would have dared to come alone. You really did not disappoint me, Mr. Mike Campino."
Mike didn't waste any time, sat down directly in front of Is Ben, and asked him: "Where's Will?"
After he asked, two strong men pulled out the hooded man from the warehouse.
Listening to the shouting of the person inside, it was confirmed that it was Will Evans.
At this time, the bodyguard next to Is Ben suddenly walked up behind Mike, looking like he was staring at him.
Mike didn't react, treating this guy as if he was nothing.
"Why are you doing this? Mr. Captain." He said straight to the point.
Is Ben sneered: "Huh! It doesn't matter what I want to do. You should ask your friend what he wants to do."
After saying that, the two strong men pulled open the sack covering Will's head. The man inside had a bruised nose and face, and it was obvious that he had been beaten badly during this period.
"Is Ben! You son of a bitch!" Will yelled directly at the old man.
However, the latter did not waver and directly began to criticize Will for his betrayal.
"This friend of yours wants to kick me and go find another captain to cooperate. Mr. Mike, if you meet such a partner, how will you deal with him?"
Mike frowned immediately after hearing this. He replied: "Then it depends on the value the other party gives me. If he is indispensable, I will punish him, but if he is insignificant, then I will take him to the sea."
…Feed the fish!”
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Three more applauses, Yi Ben was satisfied with this answer.
"The right thing to do, so I evaluated the value of Mr. Will Evans. To be honest, he is exactly the kind of insignificant person you said..."
"I am the one who transports freight from the Western Continent to the coast of the Eastern Continent."
"You are the one who provides the fishing boats and sells the goods at good prices. Our Mr. Will Evans only plays an errand and lobbying role. To me, his value may not be as high as
Enter my first mate."
"The profit originally shared with you two is already the biggest concession I can make. You must know that before cooperating with me, he was just a pharmacy operator, and he only owned half of the ownership. Without me giving him
With this opportunity, he is nothing."
"If we are in peace with each other and can continue to make private wealth through smuggling, let those bastards like Rockefeller go to hell..."
"But, this clown was so ambitious that I forced him to tie him up and come to see you."
"So now, Mr. Mike, I need you to make a statement. The cooperation can continue, but this guy can't let him continue to participate."
"I'll give you two choices. First, I will return him to you, but I don't want to see this face in Renekton again. You can send him wherever you want, you can also send him to the sea to feed the fish. Second,
I will personally send him to feed the fish."
As Is Ben finished speaking, Mike could feel that the gunman behind him looked at him with a much sharper look.
He smiled and replied to Is Ben: "Mr. Will Evans, he is my friend..."
Upon hearing this reply, the original gentle expression disappeared from Is Ben's face in an instant.
"So, you don't accept the two choices I gave you?"
Mike rubbed his fingers twice: "You are forcing me to make a choice, but in this city, no one dares to force me to make a choice..."
Is Ben's face became even tighter, and he snorted: "So, you want to terminate our cooperation?"
"It's not impossible..." Mike's attitude suddenly became firm.
Is Ben gritted his teeth: "Aren't you afraid that I will kill you right now?"
The murderous aura behind him became even stronger, but Mike still didn't panic: "First, the person sitting in front of you is Mike Campino. You have to understand the weight of this last name and what will be the consequences of killing me. Second, the dock
The fishing boats are all my people, they can bulk cargo for me, and they can also prevent anyone from carrying out smuggling activities outside the harbor."
Sure enough, he had the confidence to challenge, and Is Ben was a little angry, but he also understood that Mike was right, and his smuggling business really needed the help of this White Hand boss.
But this matter is not unsolvable, the captain has already been prepared.
His expression gradually became sly, and after snapping his fingers, a guy that Mike had never expected walked out from the other end of the warehouse...
