The Black Duke of the Pirate

After the matter in the North Sea was settled, everyone turned the topic back to Reading.

"The reconstruction work in Budamegas is now nearing completion. Although the promulgation of the new batch of laws and policies has caused great resistance from the nobles, the situation is still under control and there will be no changes in the noble class."

"At the beginning of this month, after the reconstruction of Reading Port was completed, ocean trade was reopened."

Meister took a book and read it. The booklet recorded the past, present and future policy plans for Redding. At this point, Meister paused for a moment and continued: "The shipyard and the new brewery

The factory is ready to start construction."

"How is the progress of the clock tower project?" Reinhardt asked.

"The clock tower construction project is still under field investigation." After finishing speaking, Mester continued to report on the work. After about ten minutes, Mester finally finished reporting the contents of the booklet, and then wiped the sweat from his forehead.

He took a breath and said to the figure appearing on the projection screen on the chandelier: "Come here quickly, these things are driving me crazy during this period."

He raised the book in his hand and said depressedly, Mestre has never been interested in things other than music and cultivation. Now he became King of Reading because of Reinhardt's forcible push. At first, it was a bit fresh to be on the Iron Throne.

I feel good about it, but after being a king for a while, I got completely tired of it.

After listening to Mestre's words, everyone was deeply touched. They are all combatants and are not good at anything other than fighting. Although Brat served as the military minister of the Kingdom of Porkarlia in the past, he did not know how to manage it at all.

A country with only Reinhardt alone is currently too busy.

He needs a confidant to help govern the Redding Kingdom, and this person is none other than Igarashi Sake.

"Just hold on for a few days, and you will be completely relieved when the sake comes." Reinhard said with a smile.

After that, Reinhardt told the family members about the second phase of the plan in detail.

The first phase of the plan to become King Shichibukai has been completed. It lasted from 1509 to 1516 in the Kaien Calendar and took seven years to complete!

This was a seven-year plan. Although the initial plan was very rough, it was finally completed. As for the second phase of the plan, it needs to be made in more detail, especially the precise timeline involved, which is related to the future.

Whether he can achieve his goal: the four emperors.

It started from 1516 in the Hainan calendar and ended in 1522 in the Hainan calendar, a total of six years.

According to the development of the timeline in memory, his biggest opportunity to become the Four Emperors occurred during the Dingshou War in 1520 in the Haiyuan calendar. If he misses this opportunity, he will lose his best opportunity to become the Four Emperors.

However, how to achieve it step by step still requires a long time of thinking and planning.

He has thought about how to use the top war to achieve the goal of the Four Emperors. The key point lies in the Whitebeard Pirates and the Blackbeard Pirates. If everything goes well, then his plan can proceed as scheduled.

But before that, the biggest effort I need to make is to work hard to accumulate strength, including my own combat power and the improvement of the combat power of the family's core combat members. This is the key. Without strong strength support, it is impossible to become the Four Emperors.

.

The roundtable discussion continued until late at night.

Late at night, after the meeting, the family members gradually dispersed, leaving only Reinhardt in the meeting room.

At this time, the closed door of the conference room suddenly opened, and a woman with long golden hair walked in. The woman had exquisite features, with red pendants hanging from her ears, wearing a long skirt, and a silver-white diamond bracelet hanging on her wrist.

.

He seems to have a strong sense of intelligence.

She walked in gently, and when she saw Reinhardt, her eyes immediately lit up.

Reinhardt was stunned for a moment when he saw the woman walking in. Then he returned to normal and looked at her with a smile: "I didn't expect you to come after all."

It seemed that all this was what he expected.

"I have nowhere to go now." The woman shook her head, showing a forced smile, and looked at Reinhard with a different kind of emotion in her eyes.

Her words made Reinhard stunned again, and he narrowed his eyes: "Something happened?"

"I betrayed the organization." The woman nodded, her tone not too serious, as if it was a trivial matter.

"You mean you are being hunted now?" After hearing what she said, Reinhard immediately understood.

The woman nodded and looked at Reinhard expectantly: "Are you willing to take me in?"

"If you are willing to stay, then stay." Reinhardt nodded without any hesitation, "Anyway, I am now the king of the Shichibukai, so I will have no problem keeping you safe."

Reinhardt's frank words made her stunned for a moment. She agreed so readily and without any warning?

"Aren't you afraid that I am a spy who has infiltrated your company?" She said after a moment of silence, and then showed a forced smile, "After all, I have done this kind of thing with you before."

"Are you still willing to believe me?" She lowered her head, as if she didn't understand.

"I never doubted you, otherwise I wouldn't have let you leave alive."

After hearing this, the woman was shocked, and after a long silence she said: "Thank you!"

"In this case, I will ask someone to arrange a place for you to stay. You can stay with me for the time being. I believe that CP8 is strong and they will not dare to openly break into the Redding Palace." Reinhard said with a smile, and then gave instructions.

The guards arranged all this.

After Reinhardt gave all the instructions, the woman said with some hesitation: "I think... I want to join Reinhardt Works."

Reinhardt was stunned for a moment. He originally thought that she was just looking for a temporary refuge, but he didn't expect that she wanted to join the family.

He looked directly into the woman's eyes with a penetrating gaze. Although the woman could face Reinhard's scrutiny calmly, the powerful pressure carried by that gaze still made her heart beat loudly.

Her whole person seemed to be seen through, and her condescending and penetrating gaze made it impossible for her to hide.

"Why do you want to join?" After staring for a moment, Reinhard's eyes swept over the woman's delicate face, and there was a touch of coldness in his voice.

"Calliander is going to kill me this time, and I need a powerful organization that can protect me forever." The woman's eyes crossed with Reinhard's, but there was a sense of sadness in her heart.

"Your frankness surprises me, but I don't understand what you are talking about..." Reinhardt shook his head. Even if he is willing to use his current status as a Shichibukai to protect the woman in front of him, he may not agree to her joining.
