Pirates to the top

Silas took the letter. There were not many sticky fonts on the letter.Just one sentence in total.

"In one week, Gabe Newell will be transferred from Saiyan County to the Royal Capital."

"This is"

Henry put his head in his hands and lay on his back on the sofa. “That was passed down to me from Gabe Newell’s personal secretary.”

Silas knew that Henry would spend a sum of money every month to hire secretaries, assistants and even cleaners in Newell's office, in exchange for the requirement that Gabe Newell's news be delivered to him by letter.Silas could not understand Henry's reasons for doing this for a long time.After all, giving away your hard-earned money to others is unacceptable to him and everyone in Dog Cave No. 9.

But Henry viewed the money as a hidden investment that might not pay off for a long time or even ever.But as long as you get important news like this long letter, the previous investment will be worth it.

"Isn't that good news that Gabe Newell is going to be transferred?" Monet also came over and looked at the letter and said.

Silas thought for a moment and then shook his head: "Not necessarily. If Newell is transferred, then there will definitely be someone new to replace him. And we don't know what this person's character is like or what his methods are."

"Whether he agrees with the current situation in the arena, whether the management will be reinstated, the most critical thing is that the network we have established with Gabe Newell will probably no longer exist, knowing that we have given Gabe Newell this death so far. The fat man paid more than 800 million beli, sorry Valpo I didn’t mention you.”

On the side, Valpo was drinking sugar cane and touching his hair in embarrassment.

Monet showed a surprised expression. For a long time, Monet purchased all the supplies for the slaves in Dog Cave 9 and the entire arena.Of course he knew how much money was made and how much money was spent on Dog Hole No. 9.

To put it simply, the boys and girls in the arena get "rewards" from the audience through duels. Although it is not much, there are occasionally some upstarts or noble ladies who can't stand loneliness who spend a lot of money.

The Arena will not take back this money, because it will offend those financiers who spend a lot of money.And these slaves cannot do without the arena, and no matter how much money they have, they cannot spend it.Either the money will grow moldy and stare at it, or it will flow into Newell's pocket.

But since Henry re-established the rules, he reached an agreement with Newell to use the purchased supplies to sell them in the arena.Newell takes the lion's share of the money earned.Henry circulated the funds in the arena.

In this way, leaving aside Newell's fees and various management measures, the annual net profit earned by Dog Hole No. 9 is only about 300 million Baileys.This does not include the expenses of everyone in Dog Cave No. 9.For example, Monet is already a girl and buys clothes, shoes and cosmetics every month, and the snacks that Valpo needs for his large body.As for Alfred's wooden knife, it was not made of ordinary bamboo or wood, but made of a type of wood called snakewood that grows in the rainforest. It is not only extremely hard but also expensive. The wooden sword alone costs close to 100 million beli.

Henry was an accountant in his previous life, so he naturally knew how to control costs.However, he has never refused the purchase requests of his companions, and even agreed to such outrageous requests as purchasing a refrigerator.

Therefore, in the end, what Dog Cave No. 9 was able to accumulate, including the materials in stock, a small amount of bulk commodities and cash in stock, was only about 400 million Baileys.

"And once this fat guy Newell leaves, our previous investment will probably be in vain," Silas sighed.

Henry looked at Silas and nodded. Henry had always admired Silas. His calmness and carefulness were far beyond those of his peers.

"Silas is right, but these are not the most important reasons why I have to change my plan."

"Pele is gone, we can make more money, the relationship is gone, we can build it again. But Newell's transfer is the most important reason why I have to change my plan."

Silas said in surprise:

"The most important reason"

Henry nodded, albeit very urgently.But he still guided everyone present step by step. He hoped to use this method to teach these young people the methods and experience to think independently and see through the essence behind the incident.This is what he has been trying for the past three years.

At the same time, in the Duke's Palace in the Noble District of Blackburn, Kingdom, three people were sitting in the magnificent hall.

A man with a stern face wearing a navy coat cut the cigar with cigar cutters, lit it and put it into his mouth.

"So, the location has been chosen."

The speaker was Colonel Froso Vavillon, the head of the No. 52 branch in Beihai.Branch No. 52 under his jurisdiction is responsible for the Omaha waters, which includes the Tudor Kingdom.

Palpatine crossed his legs and looked at the naval captain and said with a smile: Saiyan Island, also known as Saiyan County.

After hearing this, Wa Weiyong laughed and said: "Oh, there is one of the best trading ports in your country. I heard that the total volume of goods handled alone accounts for nearly 5% of the total volume of the Tudor Kingdom."

Palpatine smiled ferociously and said, "That's why His Majesty asked me to teach these untouchables a lesson, and at the same time shock the voices in the country."

"I don't care about this. Mr. Palpatine just needs to figure out what to do next, so as not to implicate my Sea Dog Pirates." Sanchez suddenly stood up.

A flash of anger flashed in Palpatine's eyes, but it was well concealed and fleeting.

"After the attack in Saiyan County, we can blame the attack on Germa 66. But they have a lot of debts and are not afraid of adding more."

After hearing this, Colonel Vavillon thought to himself: "As a member of the World Government, Germa 66 has been harassing other countries in the North Sea. Everyone can see the idea of ​​returning to the King of the North Sea. The top brass of the Navy Headquarters have long been dissatisfied with this, but it hinders There is nothing we can do about his status as a member nation. After this "harassment" is over, I can also take advantage of the opportunity to apply to the headquarters for an increase in military expenditures to deal with the increasingly rampant evil forces in the North Sea."

Sanchez thought for a moment and said, "Yes, but the items harvested this time will be directly loaded by my fleet, and I will take [-]% of the harvest afterwards."

Colonel Vavillon squinted his eyes and puffed away without saying anything. Palpatine leaned back for a moment and said, "No problem, Mr. Colonel will finish the job after you leave, and then protect you from accidents along the way. We share the profits in our old place.”

"Then I'll go first." Sanchez walked out of the hall without any delay.

Looking at the full moon in the night sky, Sanchez felt more and more excited.He has never been willing to be trapped in the North Sea for the rest of his life. The advent of the Age of Discovery has led countless young people who yearn for the sea to rush to the legendary great sea route, including him, of course.

What Sanchez is doing now is to continue to accumulate his own strength, with more ships, stronger cannons, and more men.Of course, there is also the Devil Fruit that Sanchez has always been thinking about.Only by possessing the legendary secret treasure of the sea and becoming a person with abilities can Sanchez dare to lead his fleet to approach the Grand Route.

In the hall, Vavillon puffed out tobacco and said casually: "Mr. Duke, you should know how difficult it is for a pirate group as big as the Sea Dogs to keep the bounty at 500 million Baileys. , how much I paid.”

Finance Minister Palpatine sneered: "I supported Sanchez with my own hands, and I naturally have a way to make him lose everything. In the final analysis, the masters of this sea are just people like you and me, and they can never be a seafarer." thief"

"The most important reason" Silas leaned on the sofa with various thoughts in his mind.

"Henry had to change the schedule to explain the situation and the urgency, and the reason was related to the transfer of Gabe Newell."

"Transfer, Gabe Newell, Henry." Silas looked at Henry and seemed to think of something.

"Wait Henry, you mean Newell will attack us," Silas said in shock.

Henry buttoned up the shirt on his chest slowly: "I have been doing accounting for Gabe Newell for the past three years, and I have secretly transferred no less than hundreds of millions of funds for him through offshore business. This does not include the stolen taxes. , gray income, false accounts in the arena. Once these are known to the big shots behind Gabe Newell and the Kingdom Audit Bureau, it will be enough to hang Newell no less than five times.

"So Monet asked.

Silas continued: "So, after Newell is transferred, he absolutely does not want these things about him to be leaked. The best way to avoid being leaked is to shut up Henry, including us, forever."

"From now on, everyone, prepare. I know this is rushed, Phillips and Alfred are injured. But this is probably our last and most important chance, the chance to be free."

As he talked about Henry, he walked outside.

"I'm going to prepare for the most critical step."

At this time, everyone in Dog Cave No. 9, including Phillips lying on the bed, fell silent.Valpo was the first to break the atmosphere: "It's like a dream"

"Yes, it's just like a dream. After living here for three years, we all met and supported each other and gradually established ourselves in the arena. Although it is very awkward, this place feels like home."

Silas sighed; "But we have to leave eventually"

Everyone's eyes kept flashing, and a different kind of emotion kept brewing.

"Success or failure in three years depends on this."
