Chapter eight hundred and twentieth landing on the island
When Xue Chen came over to talk to Carter Quinn, the atmosphere on the deck suddenly changed. The crew members on the scene all stepped back slightly, fearing that they would be affected. Andrew lowered his head helplessly and sighed,
With a distressed look on his face, he thought to himself, what is supposed to come will always come.
As the person involved, Carter Quinn could not help but show anger and a trace of panic. Even if he tried his best to hide it, he still couldn't escape people's eyes.
"Well, it looks like Mr. Carter is in trouble."
"Yes, he really shouldn't take the initiative to provoke Mr. Xue. I think Mr. Xue must really be a descendant of Poseidon. It's amazing."
"Although the gold, silver and jewelry on the Black Wolf were not found, this is indeed the Black Wolf. According to the agreement, Mr. Carter lost."
Amid the low-pitched discussions among the crew, Carter Quinn took a breath and said with gloomy eyes: "Since you have something to say to me, let's go to the cockpit and talk." After saying that, he hurriedly headed to the driver's seat.
Go to the cabin.
But as soon as he took a step, he was stopped by Xue Chen: "No, let's talk here. Everyone knows what's going on anyway. There's no need to go to the cockpit. I think it's pretty good here."
Xue Chen looked at Carter Quinn and said lightly.
The crew members communicated with each other with their eyes, and they all understood that Mr.
The gentleman asked for it himself.
As a last resort, Carter Quinn stood still, his face was as dark as water, faintly green, his brows were furrowed, his eyes were full of anger, and his hands half-shrunk in his sleeves were clenched into fists.
"Mr. Carter, I think the agreement between us should be that I win."
Hit the corner.
This bumper is quite large. It stands on the deck relying on the base. It is three meters long and a person is tall. I don’t know what kind of wood it is. Because it has undergone very effective anti-corrosion treatment, it has not been immersed in seawater for hundreds of years.
Traces of decay.
The top of the wolf-like head with its open mouth and bared teeth exudes a ferocious aura, as if it is about to devour human flesh. Just looking at it makes people feel panicked. Just looking at the collision angle, it is not difficult to imagine how big the Black Wolf is.
How powerful, and how ferocious the pirates were.
"coming!"
The crew all knew that something good was going to happen.
The corners of Carter Quinn's eyes twitched, and he stood there without saying a word, but his expression became even more ugly, his cheeks twitched inexplicably, and his breathing became heavier.
"Maybe Mr. Carter is old and his memory is not very good, so I will repeat it. First of all, if the Black Wolf is found, the 20% of the profit promised to me will be increased to 40%. But unfortunately,
Now it seems that the difference between 20% and 40% is not very big."
Xue Chen shook his head with regret. He also felt quite depressed that none of the gold, silver and jewelry on the Black Wolf were on the sunken ship. This was also directly related to how much remuneration he could get. If 200 million was really salvaged,
Fifty million in gold, silver and jewelry, even if it is 20%, is not a small amount of money, and it is legal compared to the income, so he can take it with peace of mind.
After sighing in his heart, he put the matter aside for the time being, turned around and met Carter Quinn's eyes, and continued calmly: "Also, Mr. Carter, when are you going to kneel down and apologize to me in public?
ah?"
Hearing this, Carter Quinn's face instantly turned grayer, and with his gloomy expression, he looked as if a dead corpse had come to life. It was very ugly and contained a hint of ferocity.
In an instant, everything was quiet on the deck, except for the whistling of the evening sea breeze and the rushing sound of the sea water hitting the hull. As for the crew, they did not dare to breathe heavily for fear that they would be about to explode.
The scene was affected.
Andrew didn't know what to do. Although he thought Uncle Carter had done something wrong, he didn't have the ability or qualification to teach him a lesson. He sighed in his heart and simply kept silent and waited for things to develop.
"I want you to kneel down and apologize in public? Who are you?!" After a while, Carter Quinn snorted heavily.
Xue Chen was not surprised by this and chuckled: "It seems that Mr. Carter is going to break his promise?"
After another period of silence, Carter Quinn squinted his eyes and said coldly: "You did find the Black Wolf, but what we are really looking for is not the Black Wolf, but the gold, silver and jewelry on the ship, that huge wealth.
!Also, I very much doubt that what you found is not the complete Black Wolf. I think the Black Wolf must have been broken into two parts, and this is only the front half of the hull, the back half of the hull and the gold and silver jewelry loaded on the ship.
It was left somewhere else. If you find the other part and the gold and silver jewelry, I will truly admit that you have won!"
After saying that, Carter Quinn turned around and strode away.
Xue Chen did not argue with Carter Quinn anymore because the situation was already clear.
Not only Xue Chen, but also the crew members all saw clearly that it was Carter Quinn who broke his promise, refused to admit his mistakes, and said everything he said was sophistry. The original agreement only said that the Black Wolf would be found, and there were no other additions.
Although they did not dare to say or even express the conditions, in their hearts they expressed deep disdain for the vice president of the group, their immediate boss.
"Ahem, Xue Chen, I apologize to you on behalf of Uncle Carter. I was also wrong. I invited you here, but I caused you to encounter these troubles. I am really guilty and sad." Andrew left.
After taking a few steps, he sighed with a distressed look on his face.
"Andrew, it has nothing to do with you, you don't need to apologize to me." Xue Chen waved his hand, smiled, and said in a relaxed tone.
"But where did the treasure from the Black Wolf go? Now it seems that it is definitely not on the sunken ship." Amanda whispered doubtfully, and looked into the distance of the sea, "Could it be the Black Wolf?
Before the ship was sunk by the British fleet, the looted gold, silver and jewels had been removed from the ship?"
"Amanda, I know you thought of that island, but we are not the only ones who know that that island is one of the islands where the pirates of the Black Wolf often stationed. Many people know that in the past twenty years, at least seven or eight pirates have
The team landed on the island, searched the island, and even found traces left by the pirates of the Black Wolf who lived there hundreds of years ago, but found nothing." Andrew shook his head and said.
Xue Chen had the same thought as Amanda, and even wanted to go to the island to have a look. After all, he was always a little unhappy after going out to sea and returning empty-handed, but after hearing what Andrew said, it didn't matter.
.
The salvage has been completed. Normally, it should return immediately. There is no need to float on the sea. However, the Ode stopped again after sailing for a while.
After Xue Chen felt that the ship had stopped, he asked Andrew about it. Only then did he know the reason for the stop, which left him speechless. It turned out that a very valuable watch belonging to Carter Quinn was left on the island!
When Andrew informed Carter Quinn that he had found the Black Wolf, Carter Quinn and the four crew members he had brought with him were enjoying a quiet night by the campfire, looking at the sky full of stars that was difficult to see in the metropolis.
When he received the notice, Carter Quinn was so excited that he even threw the tent and supplies on the beach. He immediately got on the boat and returned to the Ord that picked him up.
But after returning to the Ord, he remembered that his $200,000 Patek Philippe was left in the tent. He didn't rush back to get it. Anyway, it wouldn't be lost if it was left on the island. Even,
He thought that when he salvaged the gold, silver and jewelry worth 250 million, he would be able to get at least 2 to 3 million in bonus, and then just buy a more expensive one. With a wave of his hand, he wouldn't want that piece!
But the results of the salvage were not promising, and the millions of bonuses were destined to be wasted. Then he thought about his $100,000 watch again, and after thinking about it, he still had to get it back if he didn't want to throw it there.
This is the reason for stopping the ship. Carter Quinn plans to take the boat to the island early tomorrow morning to retrieve the watch.
Knowing the truth of the matter, Xue Chen was quite speechless.
Early the next morning, a small speedboat was launched from the Ord. Carter Quinn did not plan to go to the island in person, but asked two crew members to retrieve the watch.
Looking at the speedboat being put down, and then looking at the trail in the distance, Xue Chen thought about it and said, "I plan to go to the island to have a look."
He felt very uncomfortable because he did not find the gold and silver jewelry of the Black Wolf. Yesterday he wanted to go to the island to take a look, but due to considerations and what Andrew said, he gave up the idea, but now there is a "favorable wind"
"The boat" is going to the island, this idea came to my mind again.
When he heard that Xue Chen was going to the island to have a look, Carter Quinn subconsciously opened his mouth to yell at him for wasting his time. However, thinking of what happened yesterday, his eyes moved and he swallowed the words that came to his lips.
"You want to go to the island?" Andrew looked at Xue Chen, and glanced at Carter Quinn from the corner of his eye. In any case, the other party was the person in charge of the Ord. Seeing that the other party did not express any objection, he said smoothly, "Okay, then.
Let me go and see it with you."
Amanda naturally offered to follow.
After the speedboat was lowered, the three of them, Xue Chen and two crew members, took the elevator and jumped on.
The Ord could only stay where it was and wait. It was impossible to get close to the coast. The water depth on the coast was too shallow and it would run aground.
The speedboat was very fast and arrived at the coast in less than three to five minutes. The three tents set up on the coast were still standing there. Andrew walked over and found Carter Quinn's watch from one of the tents.
"You two stay here, let's go inside and take a look." Andrew ordered the two crew members.
Xue Chen stood on the beach and took a look at the island, then walked towards it first. (To be continued)
