After leaving the casino, the captain did not return to the bar. Instead, he led everyone to the dock.

Under the curtain of night, a large ship was quietly stopping outside the harbor, like a steel mountain floating on the sea. Compared to the ships in the harbor, not only was it several times larger, it was also loaded with all sorts of weapons and radar equipment. There were three groups of six cannons alone, and various types of fire god cannons, bazookas, and missile launchers were covered the deck.

This was a deep-sea cruiser armed to the teeth. Judging from the length of its hull, it had a displacement of at least 10,000 tons.

However, all of this was not as deterrent as the triangular flags on the command tower that were flying in the wind. The flags are pure white with a green circle and two neat “Hs” painted in the middle.

HH, a large global conglomerate, is the largest parts manufacturer and fuel supplier in Beihuang. Its gas stations are located all over the Silver City world and have branches on all continents.

And this ship was the Starry River by HH’s CEO of the Armed Forces, Wu Yue.

Half an hour later, the captain and the others boarded the Star River in a small boat. After verifying his identity, he quickly took over command. Since the Starry River was much larger than the Big Dipper and was an armed ship, it naturally had many more people than the deep-sea fishing vessels. As a result, the captain retained most of his original manpower and replaced only a portion of the command post.

During the handover, former Big Dipper captain and current chef Feng Yun loudly questioned the captain, “Where is my Big Dipper?”

“With this ship, why do we need the Big Dipper?” As soon as he finished speaking, the captain felt that something was wrong and immediately corrected himself, “What is your Big Dipper? It’s mine.”

“You!” The fat chef’s face instantly turned a pig’s liver color. In the next moment, his hands trembled and he pointed at the captain and scolded, “You scum of a deep-sea fisherman, don’t forget about it yourself. Why are you wasting things?”

“What do you mean by wasting things? Then it’s time to sell scrap metal.” Said the captain with a look of disdain.

“You! I’m going to fight you!” The fat chef shouted excitedly as he raised the big iron spoon.

“Whoosh!” With two crisp sounds, two dark golden stings flew out of the captain’s hand.

“Come, let’s see if I don’t kill you.” “Whoa, whoa, whoa!” One man threatened in a deep voice, while the other rushed forward with a spoon.

Qiang!

With a ringing sound, a ball of bright sparks erupted from the darkness. The moment they clashed, the iron spoon flew high and landed on the deck with a “clang” sound.

“I surrender!” As the iron spoon fell, the fat chef with the thorn on his neck admitted defeat.

‘”Old friend” The captain put away the sting, put it on the shoulder of the fat chef, turned his head and looked into the distance, took a deep breath, and said earnestly, “You should see further.”

“What?” The fat chef asked in horror. Whenever the captain showed such an expression and spoke in such a tone, something very unfortunate would happen. He remembered the last time the captain said to him, “Old friend, do you remember the dream of traveling the sea when you were a child?” What happened afterwards was that the hull of the ship cracked, the engine compartment was flooded, and the ship was sinking …

“I now officially appoint you as the Commander-in-Chief of the Central Sea Squadron.” Said the captain.

“What” The fat chef wriggled his lips with difficulty. Then the captain told him about the plan of HH Company.

The fat chef shouted innocently, “What does it have to do with me if you repay your love debt? Why did you bring me along?” For a deep-sea fisherman, freedom is all life.

“You can disagree. This is your freedom. I will respect your choice.” The captain said thoughtfully.

“Really?” The fat chef opened his mouth wide with an expression of disbelief.

“Really.” Said the captain, nodding. Then his tone changed. He lengthened his voice and continued, “But …” He paused for a moment, then said in a deep voice, “I will ask them in the future to shoot and sink your ship as soon as they see it.”

“You …” “Have you ever heard of an ancient story?” “What story?” “The price of freedom.”

“Sigh” The fat chef sighed and asked, “Why is it the Central Sea, not the Sky King Sea?”

“Because the plane entrance to the Mirror Sea is in the Central Sea, I need a reliable partner there to ensure our interests.” Said the captain. Finally, under his coercion and temptation, the former captain of the Big Dipper finally gave in.

“Wu …”

About half an hour later, the melodious whistle could be heard from afar. The Starry River slowly turned around and discharged the sea water, heading north.

A few days later …

It was Dr3714-5-12. On this morning, while Tie Zha and the others were enjoying a leisurely vacation at sea, Violet Rose, one of the Three Roses of the Temple, and William Reinhart, known as the “Military Counselor of the Temple”, arrived at the Bragg Auction House in the central Silver City under the escort of several guards.

At this moment, the crowd in front of the auction hall was extremely crowded. He was here today to greet his distant cousin, Yoga Lombar.

The Temple Princess rented the three largest venues of the Bragg Auction House to auction her personal belongings. In order to show his sincere support, he decided to personally attend the auction and bid.

A moment later, under the crowd of guards and the flashlights of the reporters, he walked into the venue and sat in the VIP seats in the front row. A few minutes later, a few beautiful and charming female auctioneers stepped into the venue and announced the start of the auction.

At the beginning, the main items for auction were small items, such as autographed photographs of the Temple Princess, casual paintings, used pens, worn accessories, and so on. William casually bought a few accessories and planned to give them back to You Ge if he had the chance.

However, when the auction reached its climax, William couldn’t help but gasp when the auctioneer showed off the personal clothes of Eva Green, one of the three roses of the Temple, known as the Temple Think Tank.

You Ge’s financial difficulties have reached this point, but he did not mention a word to him. As the lord of Atlantic City, Ugo could not ask for help from his father and mother because Atlantic City’s ownership had always been controversial, with both Mordleton and Lombar claiming legal rights. Although You Ge has inherited Atlantic City, she has no descendants, and the succession rights are still ambiguous, so neither side is willing to pay.

Ever since Youge protested to the Crescent Alliance on behalf of the Reinhart family, he had assumed that Youge had included them as allies. But now, it seems that this is just his wishful thinking. You Ge has no intention of cooperating at all. Everyone knew that the last thing the Reinhart family needed was money. As long as she was willing to speak, he would provide a large amount of money.

Thinking back carefully, in the past two months, the nobles seemed to have intentionally or unintentionally stopped their financial dealings with their clans. Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but break out in cold sweat.

Could it be that they were ready to start attacking?

Thinking back to Bi Qinglan’s performance that day, he was even more convinced of this point. The collaboration between Bi Qinglan and You Ge is in the honeymoon stage, from the resource sites of the Fifth Desert and Mirror Sea to the construction of Snake City, to the seats in the World Council.

The Silver City world was a world of radishes and pits. If you want to plant new radishes, uproot the old ones.

In that case, where did the seat of the Far East Serpent Clan come from?

The answer to this question is obvious, as the saying goes in the Far East: persimmons are soft to pinch.

“Hiss” William couldn’t help but gasp when he thought of what Bi Qinglan had said that day.

This woman is really ruthless …

She hinted at his support for the brilliant remnants, and if he listened, it would hasten the destruction of the Reinhart family. Since ancient times, the replacement of a great noble would take hundreds of years, and if he took the wrong step, he could shorten this time to a few years, or even a few months.

However, her proposal was not entirely unreasonable. It was a gamble, and if it was won, the Rhinehart family would rise again, not die out over a long period of time; If he lost the bet, the time needed to replace the old and the new would be greatly shortened.

Could it be that they were planning to replace the golden lion in the west with the green snake in the Far East?

From the perspective of the Temple’s fundamental interests, this was indeed a good move.

The consortium that was the hardest hit would split up the Far East at the same time and kill two birds with one stone. It could weaken the influence of both the Ancient Temple and the consortium. After eliminating the last bit of threat, the Temple’s position would naturally become even more stable.

In her thoughts, the female auctioneer showed off a set of extremely expensive mechanical power armor.

“Wilderness Knights.” Although he had never seen it before, William quickly guessed the name of the [Power Armor].

“Nobody is interested? This is a set of extremely valuable power armor. It gathers the efforts of the three large group companies, and the materials used are extremely expensive.” The female shopping guide recommended, but still no one agreed to the price

“This is the first time, no one has agreed to the price?” Looking at the quiet venue, the auctioneer asked awkwardly.

“The second time, didn’t anyone agree to the price?”

“The third time, there’s still no one …”

Halfway through, the female auctioneer stopped talking because someone had raised a tag to bid.

Everyone turned around and saw that the bidder was William Reinhart, the first in line to succeed the Reinhart family.
