Chapter 14: Try the Means
Mo Fei and the others were locked up in the bottom cabin of the pirate ship by the pirate ship, together with the two important "hostages". They had neither force nor weapons, so they were temporarily thrown there like "free stocking".
After several cruel deterrences, the pirates probably felt that they could not have any intention of resisting. The facts proved that the same was true. The people locked in the bottom cabin were dejected, as if they were above, and no one wanted to speak.
It is unfortunate to be caught by the pirates in Shanghai, but in a sense it is also lucky. At least they were not buried at the bottom of the sea at night.
Because the two hostages have noble and special identities, their treatment is very different - only the two hostages are handcuffed, after all, they have to prevent them from "escape".
Although there is nowhere to escape in the vast sea, this shows that the pirates have a good sense of defense. Well, the approach is worthy of recognition.
After a while, the Earl's daughter couldn't help but speak, "Your Highness, will anyone come to save us from the Kingdom?"
“Afuning…
We ran out secretly, and we did not leave any notice when we left."
His Highness the Prince felt so regretful at this time, but he still had a little bit of "cultivation", so he comforted the people around him, "Don't worry, the purpose of the pirates is nothing more than ransom. As long as my father pays the ransom, we will be safe soon... Pirates have no reason to hurt us. Unlike those untouchables, we are very valuable."
As the prince spoke, he suddenly convinced himself, and he began to believe that he would not be hurt. After realizing his "safety", his "demeanor" as a noble appeared again.
"After all the time, we shouldn't have taken a boat that is not in a boat that is riding in a royal family. How could we be attacked by pirates?"
So he began to blame.
This also made "Afuning" glance at Mo Fei and the others with a very disgusting gaze... Although everyone was at the narrow bottom of the ship, there was still a clear distinction between them, with the two on one side and the civilians on the other side.
The conversation between these two people only made Mo Fei feel funny.
First of all, their logic was reversed, and they were obviously turning the tables. It was not because they were attacked on an ordinary ship, but because these two people got on the ship, the pirates set their sights on this ship, and they had what happened last night - "Your Highness the Prince" was the target of the pirates, and robbery was just a coincidence.
The IQs of these two people are limited, and the simple logic has not been clarified yet.
Furthermore, if you have some brains, these two hostages should not curse Mo Fei and the others at this time. If they have a sense of self-rescue, they should unite the strength of the civilians who are both captives. At least Mo Fei and the others are not wearing handcuffs, right?
Last but not least, their "expectations" are almost destined to fail.
According to these two people, they were traveling privately this time so they would not receive any active rescue. Then they could only count on the pirates to negotiate with the Kingdom of Hildegard.
But there is a reason that is very simple. For example, Mo Fei is a bounty hunter. He caught a pirate worth 1 million Bailey. The pirate begged him and said he would pay 2 million to buy his life. So the question is, will Mo Fei accept the 2 million pirates and give up the 1 million reward from the world government?
Of course not.
Because there is a choice in this world called "I want it all". Whether it is 2 million or 1 million, it is a loss for Mo Fei, because he can get 3 million.
Similarly, will the pirates who finally caught a "long-term meal ticket" be honestly released because they received the ransom? It's a bit funny to expect the pirates to be trustworthy.
Mo Fei looked at A Funing sitting opposite her. She looked not very old and the daughter of the noble family looked very good for granted, but Mo Fei was not appreciating the other person's appearance... He just thought these people were really pretentious.
The environment on this ship is much cleaner than the previous pirate ship Mo Fei had seen, but for the nobles, the inside of the pirate ship is of course dirty, so Afuning kept holding his arms and covering his mouth and nose with his cuffs, as if the air that was breathing like the civilians was a kind of depravity.
However, the problem is that she had heavy handcuffs on her hands. The weight of the cast iron handcuffs would make her hands sore in a short while, so Mo Fei wanted to see how long the "noble's reserve" could last.
Well, the result was "not long" because it was really heavy.
“What to see?”
Afuning soon noticed Mo Fei's gaze, so he immediately glared at the "untouchable" who dared to look directly at her.
Mo Fei shook his head and laughed. For people like him who come from modern society, he doesn't feel that he is "lower" than the prince and count... Even if he is a native of this world, everyone is a prisoner of pirates now, so why are you pretending to be a big clove of garlic?
You are a prince, so don’t you have to sit on the ground like a "untouchable"?
Moreover, Mo Fei is "responsible to surrender to the enemy". If he wants to run away, he would have run away long ago. The reason why he didn't run away was because this group of pirates is very rich. Isn't it equivalent to he having money? He saved more than 300,000 Baileys at the pirates, and was waiting for the interest on life.
After being reprimanded by the nobles, Mo Fei's eyes moved upwards, and then he saw the reward order posted on the wallboard and a news newspaper. The photo on the reward order was the pirate captain Mo Fei had seen.
Posting the reward order here is probably a deterrent. Many pirates are proud of being rewarded by the world government because this can prove their strength and is "officially recognized".
At this time, Mo Fei knew who robbed him:
Wiley Dan, with a bounty of 12 million Bailey, commonly known as the "Silver Cutter".
If this bounty is placed in the South China Sea, it should be a "small character", but this kind of pirate is the most threatening to ordinary people.
Mo Fei was thinking about a question at this time. When the world government offered a reward to a pirate, was it based on the threat of the pirate to the world government, or it was the threat of the ordinary people and social order?
Probably the former.
Navy, pirates, kingdoms and nobles, world governments, and dragons, can only say that the pattern of this world is really interesting.
The pirate ship was swaying and didn't know where to go. Mo Fei curled up in the cabin and stayed for a long time. When he felt his lips dry and he began to pursed his lips unconsciously, the pirates pulled them out.
After they let them drink a little water and eat a little bit of insignificant food, a pirate stuffed a mop into Mo Fei's hands... He was about to start working next.
Of course, only the civilians who work, His Highness the Prince and the Earl's noble daughter are still staying in the dark bilge - they probably don't even wipe the floor.
As for why Mo Fei didn’t just rob the money and escape, but was really forced to work?
That's because he found that the captain was worth 12 million, which was equivalent to six fish.
Since he has come to this world, of course he wants to give it a try...
