Pirate: I'm just slacking off, do you really think I'm a noob?

The hall with a circular dome has murals depicting the history of the Salisbury family and some local mythological figures.

An oval conference table with traces of time, with complex patterns carved on the walls on both sides, and the glass is also cut and pieced together with precious materials.

The flames of the fireplace are burning, reflecting three figures, one big and one small.

Raleigh and Gion are separated by a long table, looking at the figures of Rex and Alice from a distance.

After Rex, whose wounds were simply bandaged, returned to the family, he immediately discussed with the remaining cadres in the family, and then dragged his sick body to the parliament hall.

Before Raleigh could speak, Rex took the lead and said:

"Lord Raleigh, our Salisbury family is willing to donate all the family's property to repay your kindness in saving the young master and family members."

In fact, Rex is also very entangled, how to choose.

But the remaining cadres in the family are all old mafia, and their thinking has become rigid.

In their minds, the navy is a natural enemy and there is no possibility of cooperation.

Besides, the mafia family is free and unfettered, and cooperating with the navy may have many more rules and regulations, which are difficult to accept.

As long as they are not on the verge of life and death, they still have a glimmer of hope, that is, to save themselves in front of the navy.

Rex, in this case, had to ask such an unreasonable question, otherwise he would not be able to report to the old cadres of the family.

Raleigh sighed, and the flames in the fireplace dimmed at this moment.

A strong pressure slowly emanated from Raleigh's body, pressing on Rex and Alice on the opposite side.

The big and small figures trembled under this pressure, as if there was a ferocious beast sitting opposite them, staring at them, and seemed to swallow them at any time.

"You don't know me. I hate trouble the most. I want to be lazy in everything I do."

"But I also have a habit. Anything that affects my laziness must be solved, otherwise there will be endless trouble."

"This system was proposed by me, so I am naturally responsible. If you don't cooperate with the navy and don't disappear on this island, it will cause me a lot of trouble."

Roley knocked on the table and said expressionlessly.

Although his tone did not change, Rex and Alice understood the threat in his words.

Their faces turned pale because of fear.

They did not doubt whether the words of the man in front of them would come true, because the example of Macefield was already in front of them.

As time passed, their inner fear was gradually magnified.

Roley on the opposite side seemed very leisurely, holding Gion's little hand without letting go.

Just when Rex and Alice were under increasing pressure, they heard a noisy sound coming from outside.

Roley smiled. It should be Kaji and the navy who came back outside.

After Rex heard the voice, a certain idea in his mind became clearer.

A hoarse voice asked:

"Lord Raleigh, if the Salisbury family agrees to cooperate with the navy, what conditions do we need to pay?"

In fact, the negotiation has come to this point, and there is no need to negotiate anymore.

The navy soldiers have also arrived, and they have no chance to escape.

Under the powerful strength of the navy, there is no chance to resist, so it is better to listen to the conditions given by the navy.

If it requires a lot of payment, he would rather die than agree to cooperate.

Raleigh snapped his fingers, and his momentum was suddenly retracted into his body.

The flame of the fireplace returned to normal, sweeping away the tense atmosphere just now.

"There are too many mafia families in the North Sea, just like the hairs on a cow. Every day, conflicts for territory are staged on different islands, and bloodshed breaks out all the time."

"I don't want to deal with these mafia families all day after I come to the North Sea. So, Chanialal Island is the first place I have to deal with."

"On this island, in addition to your two families, there are five or six mafia families of all sizes. In my opinion, they can all be cleaned up. I will hand over this island to the two families, and each of them will govern half."

"In the future, you will maintain the order on Chanialal Island, including facing the challenges of emerging mafia and the invasion of pirates, and ensuring the safety of civilians on the island."

"Of course, the navy also allows you to collect part of the protection fee from civilians. We will make regulations for this. If you encounter a powerful enemy, you can call for naval support at any time. The conditions are basically like this. What choice will you make?"

After saying this, Raleigh no longer cared about the two people opposite.

Gion asked softly:

"Rowley, if we collect protection fees, what's the difference between that and the previous mafia families? Aren't we really helping the evil?"

Rowley shook his head and gently held Gion's hand.

He whispered in Gion's ear:

"The reason why the mafia families treat civilians badly is all because of the need to fight for territory. If we define their areas, they will naturally protect the stability of the area."

"Because a stable situation can make it easier for them to collect protection fees. No one wants to live in chaos."

"Even civilians who are charged protection fees will be willing to pay them if they find that they can live a stable life by paying the protection fees."

Gion didn't quite understand what Rowley said, but his breath beside her ear made her face blush.

"Rowley...stay away from me, I'm a little itchy."

Rowley's masculine breath blew beside Gion's ear, making Gion feel a little hot all over.

"Lord Rowley, we are willing to accept your conditions, but we just hope you don't abandon the Salisbury family."

Alice's childish voice sounded.

In fact, they had no choice. Maybe this was the sadness of the weak.

Even if they knew in their hearts that if they agreed to the navy's conditions, they would be the navy's tool to control the island in the future.

But if they didn't agree, the Salisbury family would be cleared out like their rivals, the Macefield family.

Under the pressure of the family's life and death, people can let go of many obsessions.

After hearing Alice's words, Raleigh turned around and smiled easily:

"Smart decision, Alice. The Salisbury family has a brighter future because of your decision."

Rawley stood up, and he was going to greet his victorious men.

"In this world, strength is the basis for everything. But justice also exists in the navy. Believe me, you will never regret your choice."
