Roman Slave Owner

Chapter 198 Blackmail

I think you have misunderstood. I am not his father-in-law at all. I just want to borrow his name. In fact, I have a sworn feud with that miser.

Camillus said without integrity, and then scolded Li Wei, as if he hated him to the extreme.

While cursing, he carefully observed Pylos, only to find that Pylos had a playful face, as if he was watching some good show.

Finally, his voice became smaller and smaller, and finally stopped.

Curse? Why don't you scold?

Pyrrhus put his sword against Camillus' throat and said.

me……

Camillus was speechless for a long time, and scolded Li Wei even more in his heart. This time, he was hurt by you, a miser.

Since there is nothing to say, then go to die.

Pylos said with a grin.

No!

Camillus said in horror, pissing and shitting at the same time.

At this moment, a hand grabbed Pylos' sword hand.

Pylos looked back, and found that it was Lysix, the self-proclaimed pirate general.

Don't kill him yet, he still has value.

Lysix said.

You are right, I am very rich, and my son-in-law is even richer, and he can give you several million dinars.

Camillus was really terrified. He said desperately as if he had grasped the last straw.

Millions of dinars?

Hearing this, many pirates gasped.

How much is that? I'm afraid it can be piled up into a hill.

Aren't you lying to us, he has so much money?

asked a pirate leader.

Yes, there must be. His annual income is close to 20 million dinars. This is what my daughter told me. Let me do the math for you. White sugar alone exceeds 10 million dinars a year, plus Spirits, steel swords, glass and real god paper, and a lot of land, a lot of other industries. Without so much money, how can he support 6 legions in the civil war?

Camillus didn't care about these anymore, and bragged for Li Wei desperately for his own life.

Everyone swallowed hard. They knew that Li Wei was rich, but they never expected to be so rich.

The real wealth is incomparable!

He's lying to you, I think it's better to kill him.

Pylos said.

After finishing speaking, he was about to kill Camillus, but was stopped by a pirate leader.

I think I can give it a try, maybe I can make a lot of money.

said the pirate leader.

What do you know? Li Wei has been proposing to the Senate to let him lead the army to conquer pirates. Are you willing to let his father-in-law go?

Pylos said angrily.

It is precisely because of this that we have to hit him hard.

Said the pirate leader.

I think you guys are blinded by money.

Pylos looked contemptuous.

Didn't you also take revenge on Li Wei because the family property was taken back?

The pirate leader said disdainfully,

you……

Pylos couldn't help being furious, these damned vile, dirty, and extremely short-sighted pirates.

If he didn't need them, why would he be with them.

Do you think so too?

Pylos glanced at Lysix.

Lysix spread his hands, I can't stop everyone from getting rich, this is our tradition.

Hearing this, the pirates cheered.

Pylos was too angry to speak, and finally said: I promise you, we will regret it.

After speaking, I left here.

It's all mixed up like this, and it's still so arrogant.

The pirate leader said with a look of contempt.

That's right, they are nobles.

Nobles are nothing, I don't know how many nobles I have killed.

...

Seeing that their words became more and more outrageous, Lysix had to stop them.

Okay, Pylos is our partner, don't talk about them like that in the future. And maybe we can become nobles in the future.

Haha, you are right, I want to be a nobleman too.

If I become a nobleman, I must buy hundreds of slaves, and then buy a big manor.

As far as your ambition is concerned, look at Li Wei, but he has tens of thousands of slaves, and he even built a small city.

But he is not an aristocrat.

Sooner or later it will be.

...

Ignoring their controversy, Lysix came to Camillus's side with a weird smile on his face.

Tell me, how much should I ask Levi?

This... 2 million dinars. His money is mainly fixed assets, and I'm afraid he won't be able to get out more.

Camillus thought for a while and said, if he said too much, he was worried that Levi would not pay the money.

If he said too little, he worried that the pirates would be dissatisfied.

Two million is too little, at least 10 million.

How could he be worth 10 million, he would never pay 10 million for one person.

...

The pirates all argued.

Lesix thought for a while and said, Just 5 million.

***

Although there was no change on the surface of Dragon City, the level of vigilance has increased a lot.

The swimming training of some guards has been greatly strengthened. Swimming training is a compulsory skill for Roman soldiers.

Every Roman soldier had to learn to swim because he was worried about being washed away by the flood when his armed forces swam.

Some Roman youths would also jump into the Tiber River for swimming training after physical exercise, and take a bath by the way to wash away the fatigue of the day.

In addition, Li Wei sent some ships to search for Camillus, but there is no news yet.

On this day, Valens rushed over.

Master, someone found a letter in front of the Capua Senate, saying it was for you.

Oh, my letter?

After receiving the letter, Li Wei read it, but after reading it, Li Wei was furious.

Bastards! What a bunch of bloody bastards!

What's the matter? What did the letter say?

Valens asked.

My father-in-law was kidnapped by pirates. They asked for a ransom of 5 million dinars, and they couldn't bargain. They asked them to cut off one of Camillus' fingers.

Li Wei said angrily, he had never encountered such a greedy pirate, a bunch of damn bastards!

If he caught them, he vowed to crucify them all.

Valence was also stunned by the pirate lion's mouth open, 5 million dinars! They really dare to ask for it.

Then... what should we do?

Valens said.

We have to find a way to get him out.

Levi said.

How to save?

Actually, I've been thinking about this these days. You go and call Morris and Geta. These things require their coordinated actions.

Levi said.

OK.

Not long after, both Morris and Geta came to Levi's conference room.
