Reborn As a Pirate

v2 Chapter 386: ulterior motive

The night mist cleared, and the dawn came.

Under the bright light of dawn, the people of Mombasa saw a picture that they would never expect in their lives in the port they are proud of.

Execution!

A total of 16 people were hung upside down on both sides of the Xiangyanghua’s hull. The ropes on their bodies were wrapped into a shell, with only their heads exposed, like small insects that fell into a spider web and were about to become food.

And they are only the background, set off the theme of cruelty, and make the ongoing execution on the deck more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

On the deck, in front of the mainmast, today's protagonist Jetta Fesdirano had his upper body and was involuntarily tied to the mast with his back.

Around him are scattered more than twenty strong and fierce Indians armed to the teeth.

The one in the middle is particularly outstanding.

He is a head taller than everyone else, his face painted with primitive savage paint, two hatchets on his waist, four short spears in the crossed arms belt on his chest, and a large basket of arrows on his back. What was collected was not arrows, but a whole bundle of thick throwing guns more than one meter long.

Barbarian warriors are not common in Mombasa, and even the most powerful indigenous warriors of the African tribes are rarely as young and heroic as him.

Not to mention that he still has a photo, a woman in Tsing Yi with a high ponytail and an oriental sword in front of him.

Two exotic guards held the chief criminal officer on the deck together, the Oriental adventurer Minxi Howard who became famous in Mombasa in just one night.

Minxi Howard Johnson, that is, Faramin, stood in front of Yetta with a grinning, chanting hymns in a melodious tone.

"There are stupid thieves everywhere, and your greatest value is to entertain my boring time."

"I told you that there are treasures on board, that there are no guards in the treasures, and that I am an idiot and that I am not guarding against my fellow countrymen. You actually believed it."

"Idiot, Idiot, Idiot!"

"I have never seen a greedy idiot like you, leaping at the flash of gold like a moth, and hitting the web with his head covered!"

"The most suitable ending for you is to be hung on my darling for decoration, whipped by a lowly black man, hanged on the reef to air dry, and used as bait for seabirds!"

"Only in this way, only then will other idiots know what kind of respect they should face a noble, wise and cultivated gentleman!"

"This is your only value!"

"Now, Hashim, let them play their value!"

Hashim held back his tears and raised the leather whip soaked in salt water, and walked slowly in front of Yata.

"Mr. Jetta Fesdirano, the Praia people of Cape Verde send you greetings."

Yeta's eyes widened in horror: "You are..."

"You should catch all the Praias, you are too careless."

"No! No! I was wronged! Mr. Howard, your slave is hiding you, I was wronged, I am... Ah!"

The leather whip was slapped heavily, and the first whip hit Yeta's face, pulling away a long line of blood, interrupting Yeta's self-defense.

The continuous beatings and screams followed, and Yata's howl resounded and smashed into the bone marrow, making people feel like hairy and itchy.

Faramin dragged his open laughter into the cabin, and dropped his shoulders tiredly as soon as he left people's sight.

"Mr. Kao, and the school girl... We left Hong Kong on time at 10 o'clock, with 1 hour and 37 minutes left, loose on the outside and tight on the inside. There must be no mistakes."

"Yes……"

...

Yetta's screams wafted in the harbor, and the onlookers continuously recognized the Sunflower pendant with sharp eyes, and the exclamation sounded one after another, and there was no way to stop.

"My God, Monto'o of the prefecture has been hung on the boat! He is a villain, and no one who does business there can escape his blackmail."

"Girobi, it's Girobi! He has more than 30 people under him. Who would have thought that the leader of the thieves in the wharf area would actually stumble upon this kind of thing!"

"Um... isn't the Gondor slave trapping team Captain Garcia who is motionless? Although the slave trapping team is doing everything, can such a big man really take part in the theft himself?"

"Who knows? Or they are not theft or robbery, do you think the second team's deputy captain Fesdirano who is being tortured?"

"Tsk tusk tusk, it is said that the three slave hunting teams in Gondor are incompatible, and the merchants have been robbed of the merchants but they have cooperated perfectly. Who knows if they will sell white slaves? Think about it, many merchants have never returned in the past two years. maybe……"

All kinds of gossips were spreading, reaching Antiel Laguain's ears hidden in the dark.

He tightened the hood on his head, lowered his head, and asked in a hoarse voice: "Did the deputy captain not go out last night?"

"Guaranteed not!" replied with certainty, "The deputy captain drank too much alcohol last night, and we carried him back to the room. He was lying on the bed unconscious, so how could he have any spare time to go out!"

"Are the investigation results of the third team the same?"

"Captain, Captain Garcia is a master of a plantation. How could he be involved in the theft?"

"Garcia, Yetta... Team 3, Team 2..." Antil groaned, "As the president said, it seems that an unknown enemy is targeting Gondor."

"Tell my brothers to suspend the plan to rob people. This matter is of great importance. The president is reporting to Governor Fernandez. It is possible that... the Governor is the real target of those people."

"We have to obey the overall situation, start with that Minxi Howard, and try to kill the enemy in one fell swoop."

Unwillingly reconciled, he said: "But the captain and the deputy captain have been tortured, if we don't hurry up..."

"If they have a bigger goal, they will definitely not kill Yeta. And if their goal is Gondor, Yeta is a more valuable hostage, and we can afford it."

"Captain, Min Xi. Howard Johnson is a stranger, we don't even have a direction now, how can we check?"

"Minxi Howard Johnson stayed in Black Gold last night, and the president also found out that he went to the ready-to-wear shop in the City Hall Garden." Antil gritted his teeth, his eyes flushed, "He is a brutal and ostentatious opponent. , On the woman's belly, he has no reason to control his mouth."

"Be patient." He whispered as if to convince himself, "I believe the chairman, I believe the governor, Min Xi. Howard can't escape, and the people behind him can't escape..."

Andir's confidence quickly paid off. At 9:15, President Gondor called a meeting of all senior cadres and found out the fact that Minxi Howard was serving the British.

Behind him is the Drake Chamber of Commerce, the most ferocious top chaebol in England in the past two years.

There is no slave trade entry in Drake's business catalog, but she started to expand the route to Africa this year. The purpose of stepping into this muddy water is probably to show goodwill to the British African company.

The Governor is very concerned about this incident and has mobilized the three major chambers of commerce to jointly respond, and has also given a note to the Navy of Mombasa, asking them to provide necessary assistance within the limits.

At 10 o'clock exactly, the Sunflower departs, and Howard Johnson is likely to rendezvous with Drake's ship on Aldabra. That barren sea is also the best place to take back the Portuguese and teach the British.

At 10:15, the pursuing fleet departed from Hong Kong, including two Fernandez Chamber of Commerce level five galen [Saints] [Crusaders], and Gaias Chamber of Commerce super multi-masted Skuna [Life is Beautiful]. The temporary flagship is the fifth-class Galen [Ortega] of the Portuguese Navy in Mombasa.

Ortega is the limited assistance provided by the navy, including the ship and the officers and sailors on the ship, but it does not indicate the navy identity, but plays in the name of the Gondor Chamber of Commerce, as the commander of the entire fleet, and strives to use the smallest The movement and silence cut off the minions of the British chaebol.

Antair led 350 of the elite Gondor slave hunters to board the Beautiful Life.

Standing on the swaying deck, the fleet admiral Lieutenant Colonel Fiarez squeezed his command sword with a vague expression.

"The Drake Chamber of Commerce, a million-level chamber of commerce, has been established for six years ~ lightnovelpub.net ~ total assets are listed in the entire England to 27. It was officially listed on the London Stock Exchange at the beginning of the year, pledged 10% of the equity to get bonds. Millions of pounds, panic buying..."

"A world's top chaebol actually voluntarily rushed to Mombasa to provoke a few small slave merchants... And Minxi Howson, this villain is perverse, how can he not be like someone who can be entrusted by a big man."

"Because he is Portuguese? Or is it because he is good at publicity and has a way to beat the opponent's credibility in the shortest time?"

"It's like a nobleman with great military exploits throwing white gloves at an undressed tramp, slave merchant... how much credibility can he have?"

"The whole thing is a mist... The governor who is afraid of losing profits, the businessman who is eager to get out, the chaebol who is acting unreasonably, the admiral, just let them fight on their own, why should we take the initiative to enter this vortex?"

"It's a quick victory!" He patted his face fiercely. "As long as the Ortega wins quickly, the Ortega will not be implicated. So no matter what Drake's tricks are waiting there, the Mombasa fleet will It will not be harmed."

"Quick win!"

He took a deep breath and ordered aloud.

"Notify the entire ship, head southeast, target Aldabra Island, and move forward at full speed!"

"The goal was only 15 minutes earlier than us, and he was unprepared for chasing soldiers. It was very likely that we would be intercepted in the middle of the road."

"Gentlemen, we are facing a group of vicious pirates who are about to rendezvous with their accomplices!"

"You don't need to pay attention to the requirements of accompanying merchant ships! All necessary means of attack are allowed, and civilians are allowed to accidentally injure civilians!"

"Our goal is simple, to sink her before the pirates meet with her comrades, and return to Hong Kong before dinner, to end this ridiculous task!"

"This is the command of the admiral!"
