Chapter 2908: Why Don't You Go Rob?

"Then what is your purpose for seeing me?"

Murray Brigadier General's expression was easy-going, and it seemed that nothing was enough to move him.

"Cooperation."

"Wait, Kuku Lin White Night, have you really figured out our positions? I am a Royal Navy Brigadier General, and you are a pirate. No matter how you look at it, I have no reason to cooperate with you."

Murray Brigadier General shook his head somewhat disappointedly, seemingly having lost interest in today's conversation.

"You go, I never cooperate with pirates."

Murray Brigadier General leaned back in his seat and closed his eyes. He did not speak wildly, saying he would execute Su Xiao. After understanding the whole process from last night to now, he judged that with the current military strength of the port, he could not keep the captain of the Misfortune One. Instead of turning against him and sacrificing many soldiers, it was better to let him go.

"Who said I am a pirate."

"You said it last night."

"Oh, then I am your father. This is what I say now. Saying it means it is a fact?"

Su Xiao put down the telescope in his hand. This thing was good, but it was not suitable for him to use.

"You."

Murray Brigadier General narrowed his eyes, and his gaze began to become dangerous.

"Have I looted merchant ships? Slaughtered islands?"

"That... no."

Murray Brigadier General's face restored a smile.

"Then let's talk. I will be at war with the Duke recently."

Su Xiao threw a piece of soul crystal fragment into his mouth as he spoke. He inferred that Murray Brigadier General had at least a 60% probability of being willing to cooperate with him.

"What does this have to do with me? That is the conflict between you and the Duke. Isn't it better for me to watch from the sidelines?"

Murray Brigadier General was not seeing the rabbit and not throwing the eagle. In fact, he hated the great pirate Duke to the bone. The other three great pirates had their own industries, but only the Duke relied entirely on plundering. The merchant ships looted by the Duke were countless, and this was a big tumor on the sea.

If this big tumor was eliminated, although Murray Brigadier General could not go further—reaching his current level, promotion was equivalent to reducing power—in the process of suppressing the Duke, Murray Brigadier General could demand military expenses, materials, ships, and well-trained navy soldiers from the Empire.

It could be said that whether Murray Brigadier General listened to the Empire's orders depended entirely on his personal will. He had too many loyal navy officers under his command. If the Empire made a move against him, he could separate himself in minutes and become a separate faction. By then, the Empire would be strangled by the throat.

"Since it is irrelevant, then goodbye."

Saying this, Su Xiao made a move to get up.

"Wait."

Murray Brigadier General's hands were placed on the wooden table, his gaze meeting Su Xiao's. This was clearly an ordinary person, but he dared to meet Su Xiao's gaze. This was the aura of a person in power. The willpower of this kind of person was very strong, and more importantly, killing him could obtain a large amount of world origin.

"The opportunity I have been waiting for has finally come. What do you want to get from me? Soldiers cannot be reinforced to you, materials can be considered."

"50,000 gold coins."

"..."

A look of astonishment appeared in Murray Brigadier General's eyes for a moment. If it were not for his good determination, he would have blurted out: 'Why don't you go rob?'

In fact, Su Xiao really had this plan before, to go to the pirates to rob, but the traces of pirates were very difficult to find, and the property gap between pirate groups was too large. Maybe after fighting for a long time, he could only obtain a dozen gold coins.

"I can give you at most... 600 gold coins of support. Do you really know the value of gold coins? Three fully loaded cargo ships, sailing from the Atoll Sea Area for a month to deliver goods to the Star Flow Archipelago, the silver coins obtained are converted into gold coins, and the total value of the goods is at most only 2 gold coins. You want 50,000 gold coins from me? Are you going to buy a fief?"

Murray Brigadier General looked Su Xiao up and down. The military expenses he received from the Empire every year were about 20,000 gold coins. Of course, some gray income could not be calculated in it.

"Then 5,000."

"Cooperating with you might be a wrong choice. Aren't you the captain of the Misfortune One? Those... crew members on your ship? Let's call them crew members, do they still recognize what gold coins are?"

As Murray Brigadier General spoke, he pressed one hand toward his right chest. There was a penetrating wound under his clothes here. This was left when he fought with the Misfortune One last time. Not only him, but many Royal Navy officers had fought with the Misfortune One. That was two months ago. Right now, the captain of the Misfortune One had changed.

In fact, in Murray Brigadier General's view, the previous captain of the Misfortune One was not the real owner of the Misfortune One at all. The other party was more like being controlled by the Misfortune One. This one right now looked more like the real captain of the Misfortune One.

After continuing to talk for half a quarter of an hour, Su Xiao and Murray Brigadier General reached an agreement. Su Xiao was responsible for attacking Shipwreck Island under the Duke's command and completely capturing this front-line island under the Duke's command.

After successfully capturing it, Shipwreck Island would belong to the Empire and be managed by Murray Brigadier General. The matter of dealing with the Duke later was not discussed yet.

As support for Su Xiao's attack on Shipwreck Island, Murray Brigadier General was willing to take out 5,000 gold coins, but there was one point, which was that after capturing Shipwreck Island, Murray Brigadier General would be willing to take out the full 5,000 gold coins. He would only give Su Xiao 1,500 gold coins in the early stage.

This was Murray Brigadier General drawing a big cake, and at the same time, he cut a piece of meat with pain, as bait.

In fact, Su Xiao needed this 'bait'. Murray Brigadier General would definitely default on the remaining 3,500 gold coins. Both sides knew this point, but they did not say it clearly.

Su Xiao carried a large iron box and walked out of the captain's room. He did not return to the port but walked toward the ship's side facing the sea.

The sky suddenly turned overcast, and the sea breeze began to become cold.

With a 'splash', the front half of the Misfortune One broke out of the sea. Seawater drained from both sides of the ship's hold and flowed into the sea. The wooden planks of the ship's hull unfolded. Su Xiao walked onto the Misfortune One along these wooden planks.

The Misfortune One gradually sank into the sea, and black shadows swam in the nearby seawater, turning the seawater black, so as not to let the navy soldiers see the full picture of the Misfortune One.

Just as the Misfortune One left 'St. Ald Port', the overcast sky recovered, and the cold feeling in the sea breeze also faded.

Murray Brigadier General stood by the railing of the warship, looking at the sea surface below, a smile appearing on his face.

"This looks like the captain of the Misfortune One. Something big is going to happen on this sea."

Murray Brigadier General took a deep breath of the sea breeze with a fishy salty taste and walked toward the captain's room.

In the seawater, Su Xiao stood on the bow of the Misfortune One. The Misfortune One was diving at high speed. He could feel the seawater rushing past his cheeks on both sides.

Taking off the Black King Armguard, the light black lines had spread to the back of his hand and palm. The curse of the Demon Sea was more serious.

When the Misfortune One moved away from 'St. Ald Port', Su Xiao manipulated the Misfortune One to return to the sea surface.

Boom.

Seawater splattered, and the Misfortune One broke through the seawater and began to sail on the sea surface.

"Xiang Bubu, did you find it?"

Su Xiao retreated a few steps as he spoke.

"Woof."

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang shook its fur, splashing water droplets everywhere.

"Very good, make a move later."

Su Xiao knew that Murray Brigadier General would not keep his promise, so after capturing Shipwreck Island, he would let Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang go to get back the reward he deserved, and incidentally take a large sum of mental damage fees. After all, he 'was deceived'.

Not now. If he made a move now, he would break with Murray Brigadier General, and then he would have to deal with the Duke and Murray Brigadier General at the same time, which would be more than the loss.

Su Xiao opened the metal box nearly one meter high and poured the gold coins inside onto the deck of the Misfortune One.

As soon as the gold coins touched the deck, they quickly turned into white powder. Before long, more than 1,200 gold coins were consumed.

【Hint: You have broken the first-stage seal of the Misfortune One (the seal has three stages).】

【The Misfortune One is about to restore to a four-masted sailing ship.】

【One ability of the Misfortune One will be unsealed.】

【The crew quantity of the Misfortune One will increase to 350, and the combat power of the crew will be significantly improved.】 ===== CHAPTER 2909 =====
