Pirates: The Greatest Scoundrel in Navy History

Chapter 292

In a private room of a luxury hotel.

Darren leaned on the sofa, biting a lit cigar in his mouth, and was concentrating on flipping through the map in his hand.

This was the map of "Coin Island" that he bought from an intelligence dealer at a high price. It clearly depicted the topography, building distribution, and distribution of various trading ports of Coin Island.

At this time, there was less than an hour before the auction started.

Darren must confirm the intelligence in his hands before the auction starts, and then perfect his plan as much as possible.

He never believed that anyone could succeed easily, unless that person was Borsalino.

Reading the map, Darren marked the locations of the major pirate groups on each port, and then began to think about the deployment of troops.

From the map, Coin Island is like its name, presenting a circular shape.

The edge of the "coin" is surrounded by the sea. The closer it spreads to the center of the "coin", the denser its commercial area will be, and there will be more and more banks, chambers of commerce and other buildings.

The center of "Coins" is the main venue of the auction.

Their action this time was too hasty, and their military strength was limited.

In addition to the pirate forces that have now surfaced, the navy must also pay attention to the Golden Lion that may appear at any time.

So Darren must be more cautious and try to ensure that everything is foolproof.

"Knock knock knock".

There was a knock on the door.

"Come in."

Darren responded and flicked the ash of his cigar.

"Commodore Darren, this is the iced whiskey you asked for."

A young navy soldier walked in and handed Darren a glass of wine respectfully.

"Well, thank you for the trouble."

Darren smiled and took out a stack of colorful banknotes and handed it over.

"No, no, Commodore Darren!"

The young soldier waved his hand hurriedly, his face flushed.

"Take it."

Darren took a sip from the glass, his eyes still on the map.

"I don't have the habit of asking people to work for me for free."

"No need, it's my honor to work for Lord Darren!"

The young navy soldier said excitedly.

Darren then put down his work and looked up at him.

The navy soldier wore a military cap and looked a little tired. His slightly messy black hair stuck out from under the military cap, but the look he gave him exuded admiration and worship.

Although his face was young and tender, there was a different kind of determination between his eyebrows.

Darren smiled, but didn't force it.

"Okay."

The navy soldier scratched his head and said:

"I don't want to reject Commodore Darren's kindness. I... I'm too excited... Commodore Darren, I heard your name a long time ago... You have brought peace to the chaotic North Sea, and even killed a big pirate like Bondi Waldo..."

As if he was too excited, he stuttered a little.

"You are the idol I have always wanted to follow!"

Looking at the young man in front of him who looked like he had succeeded in chasing his idol, Darren couldn't help but laugh:

"What's your name?"

The young navy man was shocked, straightened his chest, raised his hand to salute in a standard military salute, and shouted:

"Lieutenant Arthur of the Navy Headquarters, meet Commodore Darren!"

"My goal in joining the navy is to be like Commodore Darren, to protect the peace of a sea area, promote justice, and change the world!!"

The voice was resounding, revealing the spirit and passion that young people should have.

Arthur...

Darren whispered softly.

I don't know if it's an illusion, but the temperament of the black-haired navy soldier in front of me is somewhat similar to that of Dorag before "defection".

That unprecedentedly strong sense of justice, and the slightly middle school look between the eyebrows... are very similar.

"It's not easy to change the world..."

Darren suddenly smiled and said:

"Arthur, do you want to be my subordinate?"

Arthur was stunned when he heard this, and then nodded heavily in ecstasy:

"Can I!?"

Darren smiled:

"Of course."

"For this kind of thing, I can just tell General Zhan Guo."

Perhaps out of nostalgia for his friend, Darren made such a suggestion.

"That, that's really great!"

Arthur was so excited that his hands trembled, and he bowed:

"Thank you, Brigadier General Darren! I will never let you down!!"

Darren chuckled:

"Try hard."

This kind of thing is just a piece of cake for him, but it means a lot to Arthur.

Why not?

...

The noisy shouting was extremely noisy.

The auction venue was crowded with people.The entire venue presented an arena-like environment, with a circular platform covered with red carpet in the center, and countless seats surrounding the platform.

Above the seats in the auditorium, there were luxurious boxes specially provided for VIPs.

Each box was surrounded by a giant screen glass that blocked the line of sight to ensure the privacy of the VIPs and avoid the prying eyes of others.

"Darren, how did you get the VIP box?"

In the 3A VIP box, Zhan Guo looked down at the auction table below and the crowded auditorium through the huge floor-to-ceiling glass, and exclaimed.

This box was decorated in a high-end style, with all kinds of snacks and fruits, and even the top-quality famous cigarettes and fine wines.

Even the waiter who came in just now made a subtle payment, if the distinguished guests wanted other "entertainment projects", they could provide them for free.

Zhan Guo smoked a cigar worth more than 300,000 Baileys and drank a bottle of red wine worth nearly his annual salary. He felt that he had lived in vain for the past half of his life.

He had fought all his life, but he had never enjoyed such treatment!

"300 million Baileys, VIP treatment."

Darren replied lightly.

"Puff!"

Zhan Guo spurted out a mouthful of red wine.

He looked at the red wine spilled on the ground with some distress, and stared at Darren with his legs crossed in disbelief.

"Three, three hundred million!?"

This can build three warships! !

Darren looked at Zhan Guo's stunned look and couldn't help laughing:

"General Zhan Guo, this mission cannot be missed."

"Our identities are special and cannot be exposed casually. This money must be spent."

Zhan Guo's mouth twitched.

Darren was right. As navy officers, they couldn't reveal their identities, otherwise they would definitely cause a great disturbance in the auction venue. If something unexpected happened and the auction was terminated, they wouldn't even be able to see the Momo fruit.

But 300 million Baileys is too much...

Zhan Guo paused, and suddenly his eyes became fierce, staring closely at the precious fruits, tobacco and alcohol from all over the world on the table.

Since the money has been paid, you can't suffer a loss!

Just as Zhan Guo was busy dealing with the table full of tobacco, alcohol and fruits, a middle-aged man in a black tuxedo slowly stepped onto the platform at the auction venue below.

He picked up a microphone, bowed politely to the guests who couldn't hold back and were eager to move, and said with a smile:

"I am very grateful to the guests from all over the world for coming to participate in this auction held by Lord Lu Field."

"On behalf of Lord Field, I would like to welcome you all."

As soon as the voice fell, someone below shouted noisily:

"Stop talking nonsense, start the auction quickly!!"

"That's right!!"

"My time is very precious!"

"..."

The auctioneer in a tuxedo smiled politely:

"It seems that everyone can't wait, so I won't say any nonsense, and start our auction now!"

"Next, it's the first auction item of this auction!"

He raised his hand, and several security guards in black suits carried a box onto the platform.
