Looking at the "St. Josephine" slowly leaving the berth, Jackson and Scott were completely dumbfounded. Only then did they realize that they had been deceived. There were mercenaries from the Umbrella Company on duty not far away, but they did not dare
Go get help.
The sky is getting dark, the lights are brightly lit on the pier, and people are flowing in. Zhenghe Port is so busy every day, all night long.
Jackson and Scott were still sitting on the iron chairs for people to rest next to the pier. They were unaccompanied on Zhenghe Island and had nowhere to go.
"We-" Jackson was pitiful.
"Shut up!" Jackson was interrupted by Scott as soon as he opened his mouth. Scott now wanted to kill Jackson.
"You can't blame me entirely. It was you who gave half of our money to the first mate." Jackson widened his eyes and tried to defend himself. Jackson was indeed responsible for the two of them being in this situation, but Scott was also responsible.
"Who could have known that the Frenchman was a liar?" Scott admitted that he had his own reasons.
"I didn't know that Indian was a liar." Jackson said confidently.
Then the two of them were silent for a long time. They didn't eat for a long time, and they really didn't have the energy to argue.
There was a strong fragrance coming from the restaurant next to it, and there was also a faint smell of wine.
Not far away, there was a girl selling a kind of food called Chaos, which looked delicious. A bowl only cost one shilling, but it was a pity that Jackson and Scott's pockets were cleaner than their faces.
A child nibbling on a pie walked past Jackson and Scott's eyes. Scott and Jackson's eyes were always on the pie, and Jackson swallowed his saliva dissatisfiedly.
Scott held his forehead and was speechless. If it weren't for the fact that there were two fat and strong South African mastiffs following the child, Jackson would have probably gone up to grab it.
Seeing the child walking away with two swaying South African mastiffs, Scott still had to face reality.
"Do you have anything valuable on you?" When Scott spoke, he looked at the ring on Jackson's hand.
"What are you doing?" Jackson immediately covered his hand very sensitively. This was Jackson's wedding ring. When he got jealous just now, Jackson didn't even think about the wedding ring.
Without speaking, Scott took off his ring from his finger, then took off his watch, and finally took out a lighter from his pocket - and an empty wallet, which was probably still worth some money.
After all, it is a luxury product produced by Iteno.
What about crocodile skin——
"Please Scott, I can't do this, my Annie will kill me." Jackson was also busy taking off his watch, gloves and wallet, and even wanted to take off his leather shoes.
Oh, no need for leather shoes.
"Do you think of Annie now?" Scott's eyes were fierce.
Jackson was dejected and silent.
Scott took off Jackson's hat, put everything in at once, and then walked towards the girl selling Chaos.
"Welcome -" the girl selling chaos greeted warmly. On the girl's cart was a little puppy sleeping lazily on the ground. There was also a sign hanging on the handlebar, which said in Chinese and English.
"This is the sister of three brothers. You must think carefully before you want to do anything."
Jackson started to swallow his saliva again. He had no other intention. The closer he got, the better it tasted.
"Miss, I would like to ask——" Scott felt himself blushing fiercely.
"Oh, over there, the black window looks a bit like the one in a bank -" The girl was very smart. When she saw what was in the hat, she immediately pointed the location of the pawn shop to Scott.
"Thank you -" Scott simply ran away.
Pawn shops are very common in major ports, and the business is quite good. The staff here are very ruthless, even if it is brand new and unopened, they will cut it into at least half.
For Scott and Jackson's two watches and a ring, the staff only gave a total valuation of twelve rand.
"This watch of mine is brand new. I bought it not long ago and it cost me twenty pounds!" Scott argued with reason.
"Sir, as long as you unpack it, it is not considered brand new, and you have used it for so long that there are already scratches on the dial, so now it is only worth five rand." The staff said seriously.
I really didn’t mean to keep the price down, even five rands was already too much. Normally it starts at 20% off.
Five rands was five rands, and Scott gritted his teeth and endured it.
But twelve rands were not even enough for a boat ticket. Scott thought for a while, raised his hand and pulled out the pistol from his armpit.
The staff was a little panicked for a moment, but they were able to remain calm. Since Adan Company took over Zhenghe Island, there has never been a vicious security case like robbery on Zhenghe Island.
Scott weighed the gun in his hand, turned it upside down and handed the pistol to the staff member.
It was obvious that the staff was relieved.
However, the starting price was not loose at all: "The Cavalier Detective Revolver produced in 1915, which cost R25 brand new, is now worth R4.50."
"The new price is 45 pounds!" Scott's veins were showing, and he was haggling hard, but it didn't matter.
"45 pounds is the selling price in the British Isles, but it is indeed only 25 rand in our southern Africa. Moreover, during the World War in 1915, in order to facilitate mass production, Nyasaland Military Industry simplified the production process.
, so the value of the pistols produced during this period is not high." The staff understood the situation very well, and after speaking, he pushed the gun outward.
The meaning is obvious. If you like to sell it or not, if you sell it, it will be R4.50. If you don’t sell it, you can keep it for yourself.
Scott stopped talking and gave Jackson a look that you know.
Jackson pulled out his gun, pointed it directly at the staff, and yelled, "Don't move!"
Not to mention the staff, even Scott was shocked by Jackson's brain circuit. The moment Jackson shouted "Don't move", Scott fell into deep self-doubt. He really didn't let Jackson
Take it out and rob it.
"Don't move, put down the gun, or we will kill you on the spot!" The mercenaries shouted loudly at the door. Two mercenaries appeared at the door, one on the left and one on the right. One mercenary was holding a pistol that had been opened.
, another mercenary armed with a shotgun.
"Don't shoot, misunderstanding, this is a misunderstanding -" Scott raised his hands in the air and tried to clarify, thinking of the dozen armored vehicles in the military camp, he was so stupid that he robbed Zhenghe Island.
Jackson stared at Scott with wide eyes.
"What are you looking at? I asked you to take out the gun and sell it. I didn't ask you to take it out and rob it - are you going to kill us both?" Scott didn't dare to indicate with his eyes at this moment.
However, it is still necessary to express it clearly in language so as not to cause misunderstanding.
Jackson's expression was also broken.
In order not to cause misunderstanding among the mercenaries, Jackson slowly placed the gun on the counter in front of him. Two mercenaries rushed in and knocked Jackson to the ground.
As expected, Jackson and Scott were sent back to the mercenary camp.
What a coincidence, the officer on duty was still Lao Chen.
When he saw Jackson and Scott, for a moment, Lao Chen's expression was confused.
"What's going on?" Lao Chen asked the mercenaries who captured Jackson and Scott.
"These two guys robbed a military service agency. How unfathomable it must be." The burly and bearded mercenary replied cheerfully. It is not common to see such naive people.
"We didn't rob!" Jackson defended seriously.
"Can you get us something to eat first?" Scott gave up resistance. This was considered his second visit to the palace. There was nothing to be embarrassed about. Anyway, Old Chen had seen Scott and Jackson in even worse states.
Pooh!
The even worse situation Scott and Jackson were in was caused by Lao Chen.
"I want coconut cake, he likes cocoa powder cake -" Jackson kept thinking, this iron Hanhan is indeed a qualified foodie.
In other words, most qualified foodies are Tiehanhan.
"Are you treating this place as a restaurant?" Lao Chen was angry. These two guys were simply devastated and haunted.
"Alas, the security of your Zhenghe Island is so bad. We were actually deceived twice today. This all happened under your noses. Don't you know?" Scott is not covering up now.
, anyway, the identity has already been exposed.
"What?" Lao Chen was confused.
Scott then told Old Chen everything they had experienced today, from beginning to end.
When Scott was halfway through speaking, Lao Chen asked someone to unlock the handcuffs of Scott and Jackson, and then asked someone to bring coconut cakes and cocoa powder cake.
Such an unlucky person is actually quite pitiful.
"——That's what happened. First a Frenchman, then a group of Indians, we were defrauded out of our penny, so we went to the pawn shop to collect some money, and the result——" Scott glared at Jackson.
Jackson, who was engrossed in chewing, didn't notice.
"You guys are really -" Lao Chen simply had nothing to complain about, there were too many flaws.
"We are penniless now and have nowhere to go. You can't just ignore us." Scott relied on Lao Chen.
"Let's get it straight, please. You are agents of MI6. Shouldn't agents be omnipotent?" Lao Chen almost said that we are enemies.
"MI6 is also a British government department, you are a British company, our boss and your boss are still old friends, and we were deceived on your territory, so you have to be responsible." Scott did not delay eating while arguing.
"Who is your boss?" Lao Chen said subconsciously.
"Winston!" Scott's answer was unexpected, but reasonable.
In theory, Winston is indeed the largest British government employee.
"Okay, okay - William, go and get the mortgaged things from these two gentlemen. You two will live here today. If you have anything to do, we can talk about it tomorrow." Lao Chen gave in. Since Scott is so shameless, Lao Chen
Chen also really couldn't drive Scott and Jackson out.
"Just live here?" Scott pushed even further. There wasn't even a bed in this office.
"What a nice idea!" Lao Chen sneered. He still wanted to live in an office. It's a good thing he didn't throw you out on the street.
