Beckett asked, "Then who do you think is the real threat?"
James said in a deep voice, "Xufeng."
"Xufeng?" Beckett took a deep breath, "Well, that kid took me hostage and took away my privateer license. I have to say, he is indeed very cunning."
James said: "He and Xiao Feng are both from Tang Dynasty. Once the two of them unite, I am afraid that the whole ocean will be turned upside down."
Beckett nodded slightly, "Your analysis is quite right, Mather"
"Yes." Mercer quickly put down the knife and fork in his hand, and stood at attention.
Beckett said lightly: "Go to Singapore, find out Xiao Feng's lair, find a way to kill Xiao Feng, and get his token. As for that guy named Xu Feng, if you see him, you must Kill him together. His bounty is [-] gold coins."
Mather hesitated for a moment, "One hundred thousand gold coins? Will you think too much of that kid? He is not even a captain now, he is only a first mate at best, and all the captains on our wanted list are all captains. And those pirate captains don't just own a ship!"
Beckett smiled faintly: "I know, that's why I offered him a price of 50 gold coins. If the boy himself is the captain, I'm afraid his head will be worth at least [-] gold coins."
Mather opened his mouth, "Yes, I understand, I will take someone to Singapore right now. Oh yes, there is one more thing that I have to report before I leave."
Beckett said, "Go ahead."
Mather said: "Recently, the Flying Dutchman has been a little disobedient. Their Sea God Beast has died. We don't know the specific cause of death, but Davy Jones did not obey our orders to capture passing merchant ships. They just sank it, as if they were venting their anger."
Beckett frowned slightly, "Are there any merchant ships from the British Empire that were sunk by the Flying Dutchman?"
Mather said, "That's not true."
Beckett sneered, "That means he's not crazy yet, he's just demonstrating to me. I own his heart, and it's really unreasonable for him to dare to be so presumptuous. Tomorrow, we'll take the Endeavor to find Davy Jones. I want him to understand who is the real master in this ocean."
"Yes!"
"Okay, everyone, please continue to eat, Commander James, you should eat some too." Beckett laughed.
"Yes." James mechanically picked up a slice of Spanish ham.
After the dinner, Beckett left with his men.In the huge dining room, there were only servants who were busy clearing up the tableware, and Governor James and Governor Swan sitting opposite each other.
James said with difficulty: "Governor Swan is sorry."
Governor Swan said coldly: "You betrayed Elizabeth, this is not something that can be solved with a word of sorry."
James said quickly: "No, I didn't betray Elizabeth. I just wanted to pull her out of the pirates, but she has fallen too deep."
Governor Swan said: "If you didn't steal their Davy Jones heart, it wouldn't be what it is today."
James said painfully: "I am not a saint, I have to save myself first."
Governor Swan sneered: "So, have you been saved now? Is your so-called salvation just wearing decent clothes and eating delicious dishes? Do you wash your hands after you go home at night? You hanged yourself today Can the blood of those innocent people be washed away? Can you fall asleep when you lie under the quilt? When you close your eyes, won’t the faces of those innocent people appear in front of you?”
James was immediately speechless when questioned.
He has cooperated with Governor Swann for more than ten years. Governor Swann has always been amiable. Although Governor Swann is indeed a bit snobbish and a little vanity, it is not a shortcoming at all. This is the first time James has met Swann. Governor Wang speaks so sharply.
"Perhaps, I shouldn't blame you." Governor Swan suddenly changed the subject and said with a deep sigh: "Didn't I also surrender to Beckett in order to survive? From this perspective, we are all the same It's pathetic, pitiful."
James was filled with sorrow.
Governor Swan picked up a glass of wine he hadn't drunk and drank it down, his pale face gradually turned red.
James knew that he had never been strong enough to drink, and he rarely drank alcohol. This time drinking was naturally unusual.
James already had a vague feeling in his heart that Governor Swan had something to say to him.
Governor Swan poured himself another glass, but he was not in a hurry to drink. Instead, he waved to the maid who was tidying up and said, "Go down first."
"Yes, Your Excellency Governor." The maids put down their work and bowed their knees to leave.
Governor Swan pursed his lips, "Commander, no, James, have you ever thought about what to do next?"
James was taken aback, then slowly shook his head.
He is now a walking dead, and he will do whatever Beckett asks him to do.
He hates this kind of life, but he is powerless to change this kind of life that makes him hate it.
Governor Swan lowered his voice and said: "We can't sit still like this. Beckett is just using us now, using us as a tool. Once the Caribbean Sea and other sea areas are cleared, once the East Indus Trading Company rules the entire ocean. If there is no flight route, then we will no longer have the value of using it. What's more, Beckett's method of eliminating pirates is more evil than the pirates themselves! We can no longer allow him to go on like this. I wrote a letter I intend to submit the letter to the Parliament when I return to London to impeach Lord Beckett! If you can join me, our success rate will be greatly improved."
James was taken aback, "Governor Swan, I don't know if it's right to do this."
Governor Swan said angrily: "James! You really disappointed me! Where did your blood go? Was it thrown into the Caribbean?"
James said painfully: "It was hard for me to climb out of the pirates. I really don't want to live that kind of life anymore, I"
James couldn't go on.
Governor Swan stood up and gave James a cold look of contempt, "You really disappoint me, Commander. Fortunately, my Elizabeth didn't choose you to be his husband. If you want to inform me about today's matter, then whatever."
After speaking, Governor Swan walked away.
Chapter 459 The Flying Dutchman
James was alone, sitting alone at the messy table.
To be honest, he certainly didn't want to live as a puppet, and he also wanted to bring down Lord Beckett, but he knew very well in his heart that it was impossible to drag a Lord into the water just by relying on a report letter.
This is a battle between the old aristocrats and the new aristocrats. Ordinary people are just watching from the sidelines and will not obviously support anyone.
Between nobles and nobles, the biggest way of communication is to compromise.
If I take your handle, I can ask you to compromise and give me something until we both reach a balance.
Governor Swann's letter will not make Beckett step down, it just allows the nobles to better distribute their benefits, and Governor Swann will become a victim of compromise.
Therefore, it's not that James doesn't want to bring down Beckett, but that it is impossible to succeed in bringing down a hooligan with such a just process.
Governor Swan couldn't beat Beckett, and neither could James.
Beckett was the kind of man who stepped on the bones of the dead and climbed up without pity or guilt.
And they are not.
James felt extremely distressed. He grabbed the wine that Governor Swan had poured but didn't drink, and drank it all in one gulp.
The hard alcohol rushed straight to his forehead, he ignored it completely, continued to fill himself a glass, and drank it down again.
the next morning.
Two guards, one fat and one thin, found the drunk James in a garbage dump outside the headquarters.
