Chapter 440, You Are Not as Good as Your Father

"Where did you hear these things?" Joachim, who was beside her, looked at her and asked.

Philippa leaned against the bar and said, "I've been reading a book recently called A Brief History of Pirates. It says that there was a pirate king before the Emerald Sea. I'm curious if it's true."

"Can you read?" Joachim asked doubtfully.

Philippa said, "If my father wasn't a pirate, I would have been a talent that the kingdom has focused on training."

The tavern was silent for a moment, and then the pirates burst into laughter.

"You wild girl, can you still be a talent?"

"Which kingdom is so unlucky that it would train you."

"The Iron Bucket Pirates, there are only three ships left in your hands, you are not as good as your father."

Bang~!

Philippa slapped the bar hard and cursed loudly, "Fuck you mothers, if I wasn't a pirate, I would have been a member of the association, and then I would catch you all and poke your ass with a stick."

"Poke your ass, poke your ass."

The parrot also followed and imitated it.

Hahaha~!

The laughter around was louder, and the whole tavern became lively instantly.

Philippa's face flushed with anger, and he continued to scold: "If you keep laughing, you will have to pay for the women yourself."

"No, no, no! You are talented."

"Yes, yes, you can be a deacon of the association."

The pirates started to make a noise again.

Joachim also laughed for a while and said: "What is written in the book is naturally true. It is normal for you young people not to know it."

Philippa ignored the other pirates and turned around and asked: "Is this pirate king really that powerful?"

"You should have seen the letter of the Sea King!"

Philippa nodded, "I know, I robbed several ships, and the news was from the letter. Is it really related to the Pirate King? He has lived so long?"

Joachim smiled, picked up the wine glass and took a sip, and did not continue.

Philippa frowned, "Boss Joachim, you don't know either, are you telling me nonsense?"

Joachim raised his eyebrows, "Of course I know more than you."

"Really? Who do you think this pirate king is?"

Joachim frowned and looked at her, looking her up and down, "Are you so interested?"

Philippa was not at all shy, drinking and shaking her legs, and said doubtfully, "Forget it if you don't know, I will ask other pirate groups later?"

Joachim's expression was choked, and he was about to speak.

With a squeak.

The door of the tavern was pushed open, and the bartender walked in with a few heavily made-up women, twisting their waists, and instantly threw themselves into the arms of the pirates in the tavern.

Joachim also stood up and hugged the two women, "Philippa, do you want to join us tonight?"

Philippa waved her hand, "Forget it, you look too old."

Joachim laughed, hugged the woman and walked upstairs, saying, "I like you, a wild girl. Don't go out to sea recently. I will take you to broaden your horizons in a few days, if you can pass the inspection."

"What kind of horizons?" Philippa asked.

Joachim's figure disappeared in the stairwell, and a voice came down, "About what you were curious about just now."

Philippa chased to the stairs and shouted up, "Boss Joachim, you are still particular, like the kind-hearted Babuchi."

No reply came from upstairs.

Downstairs, the pirates and the women were already fighting.

Even the few pirates brought by Philippa buried their heads in the women's chests.

Philippa glanced at all the pirates.

Cursed a few words and walked out of the tavern with the parrot.

Strolled around the street.

…

Wu Heng returned to Treasure Island.

Came down from upstairs.

Shannara was also there today, chatting and laughing with two maids on the first floor.

Not as shy as yesterday.

I could still hear the three talking about Wu Heng, where he was ticklish, what movements he liked, and so on.

Wait until Wu Heng got closer.

The three of them noticed it, their faces blushed, and they immediately changed the topic and talked about shopping today.

Wu Heng sat down and chatted with them.

Soon, dinner was served, and the four of them sat at the dining table and started eating.

After dinner.

Minnie and Shannara went to play shuttlecock in the yard, and Wu Heng kept Andeville.

"Master, do you have any instructions?" Andeville poured him a glass of water and asked curiously.

Wu Heng took a sip and said, "Is there any progress in the kidnapping?"

Andwier shook her head, "No news has reached me yet. I'll ask when I go to the association tomorrow."

"No need. I'll go there tomorrow too," Wu Heng asked, "What about Millicent?"

"Mrs. Millicent is still living in the association's dormitory. There have been no rumors about Nautilus and the association in the past few days. Assistant Moya is making arrangements to release her while severing the relationship."

Wu Heng nodded. It would be safer for Moya to arrange this matter.

"That's good, go play with them."

Andwier replied, and walked out of the room to play shuttlecock with Minnie and Shannella.

Wu Heng went back to the study to read a book.

After midnight, he went back to his room to rest.

...

The next day, the association dungeon.

The heavy iron door was opened.

The young man dressed as a bartender walked down carefully.

He walked through several iron cages, identified the prisoners lying on the ground, and walked inside.

Finally, in an iron cage, I saw a familiar figure, and lowered my voice and said, "Boss, are you okay?"

In the cage, Millicent raised his head, and a look of joy flashed in his eyes, "How is it? Is the matter done?"

The bartender lowered his voice again: "It's done, the money has been sent out."

"Then when can I be released?"

"No." The bartender shook his head, and then asked carefully: "Boss, this money will not be given away for nothing?"

"It shouldn't be!"

The two whispered, and the iron door of the dungeon was opened again.

Two association guards walked down while chatting.

Millison and the bartender immediately shut up and watched the two figures coming over.

The guard stood outside the iron cage and looked inside, "Millison, right?"

"Yes!" Millicent replied.

The guard opened the cage and said, "Your matter has been investigated and you can leave."

"Thank you." Millicent walked out of the iron cage, thanked him, and walked out with the bartender.

After passing through the hall and walking out of the association's door.

The bartender said dissatisfiedly: "I thought the association was better, but it also asked for money randomly."

Millison looked around and said, "Stop talking nonsense, let's go back first."

Called a carriage and rushed to Lighthouse Street.

Upstairs of the association.

Wu Heng looked at the disappearing carriage and closed the curtains again.

According to Moya's idea, he would keep "Millison" in prison for a few days, and let her go after the assassination had some results.

After Wu Heng came over, he still planned to release her directly.

The clues on the association's side have been cut off.

Moreover, the other party cut off the head and did not take the body away.

Obviously, they are certain, and there is no point in dragging it on.

So, Millicent was released today as planned.

Andwier said behind him: "Some people know that she is your spy, so we may not be able to collect any information."

"It's not a big problem. There are all kinds of rumors outside, some true and some false, and they may not spread." Wu Heng added, "If we can't collect any information, let her maintain this tavern, which is also an explanation to Philippa."

"Well, you are thoughtful."

Wu Heng turned around and touched her little head, "Okay, I'll go back first. If there is nothing to do in the afternoon, go home early."

"Okay, master."

Wu Heng walked out of the association.

Standing at the door and thinking for a while, he walked towards the direction of the Snake Emblem Consortium.

...

Entered the Snake Emblem Consortium with the skeleton attendant.

After showing the emblem, he was taken to the VIP room by the staff.

Immediately afterwards, the middle-aged staff member knocked on the door and walked in, bowing, "Good morning, guest."

"Good morning, see if there is any result for the commission I issued last time?" Wu Heng handed the emblem to the other party.

The middle-aged man took it and said, "Wait a moment."

After saying that, he walked out directly.

Not long after, the man came back again, holding a wooden brocade box in his hand.

"Guest, the commission you issued has collected a precious material, the blood of the bottom-dwelling devil fish, and the remaining materials are still being collected."

The wooden box opened, revealing a glass bottle with a viscous red liquid inside.

"When can the rest of the materials be collected?" Wu Heng asked.

"I can't give you an accurate answer to this. If I collect it, I will notify you." The middle-aged man continued.

"Okay, leave it to me."

After settling the balance, Wu Heng collected the materials.

After asking the other party to speed up the collection as much as possible, he also left the consortium.
