Since Jared jumped off the ship in Devil's Water, he had never appeared in the sea again.
Although the Governor's Mansion had been looking for Gerrard, there was a way out. Gerrard was a smuggler in the guise of a pirate, and the things he smuggled were naturally contraband. Therefore, he had a secret and safe escape route.
However, it was precisely because of this that if they really wanted to find Gerrard, they only needed to go to his usual activity area.
Brian captured Gerrard's crew but did not hand them over to the Governor's Mansion. His purpose was to obtain Gerrard's smuggling channels. However, Gerrard's value had now been magnified and surpassed those smuggling channels.
When Starr brought his men and grabbed him from Gerrard's prostitute, Gerrard was completely dumbfounded.
After escaping from Devil's Water, Gerrard had always been a man with his tail between his legs and never engaged in smuggling and robbery again. He didn't expect that he was caught by the navy despite his low profile.
"Kneel down!" Starr pointed the gun at the back of Gerrard's head, and the latter knelt down unwillingly.
Shortly after Gerrard knelt down, he heard footsteps in the distance.
"Lord Brian, the person has been captured.”
Brian was that terrifying navy colonel!
Gerrard subconsciously widened his eyes. He was about to turn his head when the back of his head was pressed against the cold muzzle of the gun.
"Kneel properly and don't move!" Star said coldly.
"Yes, sir. I won't move." Gerrard smiled obsequiously, but he was bowing to Brian.
The strong were respected in the sea. Although Gerrard was not an 'excellent' pirate, he was still very clear about this principle.
Brian walked to Gerrard, and Snow brought a chair over. After Brian sat down, Snow handed him a cigar and lit it for Brian.
"Phew." Brian puffed out a mouthful of smoke and chuckled.""You have brains and know how to stop when you're ahead. You're not simple.”
"Sir, you flatter me." Gerrard smiled awkwardly. In fact, he was confused and did not understand why Brian had brought him here. If Brian wanted to cut off his head for money, he would not have brought it here.
"You should know that I didn't capture you because I wanted to chop off your head, right?”
"Ah, sir…"
"You were probably wondering why I captured you just now, right?”
Gerrard stared at Brian, who was shaking his cigarette, and thought to himself," Could it be that this guy could read minds?
"My eyes can see through your soul, so you must be honest in front of me. If you tell a lie, I will kill you.”
Brian was talking nonsense in a serious manner. In fact, he was just using reverse thinking to think from Gerrard's point of view. Then, he used the domineering look to monitor Gerrard's heartbeat and breathing. If Gerrard's heartbeat accelerated, it would prove that he was right.
However, Gerrard did not know the existence of Wen Se's domineering aura, so he nodded subconsciously.
"Very good. From now on, you will answer every question I ask you.”
"Yes, yes, yes. I'll definitely answer honestly.”
Thump, thump, thump. Although his heartbeat was still very fast, there was no obvious fluctuation.
"How's your relationship with Astona?”
"I've known him for a while, and I helped him smuggle his stolen goods. At the same time, I helped him buy some military contraband. We're not friends, really, sir.”
"Nonsense, you are his vice-captain and you are planning to break into the prison to save him.”
"Sir, I was forced to become his vice-captain. My subordinates can testify to this. Also, sir, how could I break into prison to save him…"
" On the night of May 15th, Year 1500 of the Ocean Calendar, the sea snake Gerrard planned a prison break and successfully rescued the captain of the Flaming Pirates, Astona, from the water prison of the Governor's Mansion. Then, he followed Astona and caused a ruckus in the Governor's Mansion, killing the new Governor who had just taken office and the branch officers who came to congratulate him.”
Brian's words were like thunder, exploding in Gerrard's ears.
Because it was May 9th!
Before Gerrard could figure it out, Brian pressed his hand on Gerrard's head and said with a smile,""You are very smart. I need some smart people to help me.”
"Of course, of course I'm willing." Gerrard's facial muscles were twisted as Brian's fingers began to exert force, as if he could crush Gerrard's skull at any time.
"Very good." Brian smiled and reached out his hand to pat Gerrard's cheek.
At this time, Snow immediately handed over a drawing, and Brian stuffed the drawing into Gerrard's collar and said to him,"" This is the location of the water prison in the Governor's Mansion. You should know what to do. Remember, after you succeed, you will be mine. In the future, no one will catch you whether you smuggle or rob in the West Ocean. However, if you fail, you will die a miserable death.”
Gerrard nodded, and his heart beat faster.
Opportunity and risk coexisted. Was he already tempted?
Brian smiled. He liked the feeling of having everything under control.
……
"Lord Brian, you're in such a hurry to find me.”Nordman squinted his small, slender eyes and kept a smile on his face. He looked like a businessman because every time Brian came to him, he would bring him a huge profit.
Brian sat on the sofa and shook his head.""I'm not selling this time, I'm buying. I need you to help me buy some guns and swords from the black market, and get me a few fast boats.”
"Buying firearms? Get a boat?" Nordman thought he had heard wrong, because Brian and he had partnered up to sell military armaments and warships more than ten times, but this was the first time they were buying firearms.
"That's right, but I have some requirements. I want old things, not new weapons.”
" This…" Nordman was dumbfounded.
Brian continued," In addition, find another group of outlaws. There should be at least 100 of them, and the more the better. After the job is done, each of them will receive 2 million Bailey.”
Look for so many people!
Nordman was shocked. He lowered his voice and moved closer to Brian, asking carefully,""Lord Brian, don't tell me you want to attack the Governor's Mansion!”
"You don't need to know about that. As long as you finish this job, the entire arsenal of West Ocean will be your supply warehouse.”
Although Brian didn't say it explicitly, Nordman knew what he was hinting at.
Was Brian going to be the governor of West Ocean? But didn't he just get promoted?!
Although he didn't know how Brian did it, Nordman didn't ask further because he knew that the less he knew, the safer he would be.
