Chapter 28(3/3)
"Of course, this is a confusing audiovisual for others. For those merchants, you have to use another hand. Fez, tell Eckert about the gains of your trip." Mr. Hyde said, patting Fez on the shoulder with his heavy hand. Obviously, he was extremely satisfied with the gains he had obtained during this trip.
"Yes, boss, this time I can be considered full of return. Eckert already knew that I had told him that this time I visited several powerful nobles, who had invested in Nangang, and now the most violent merchants are slaves of their family. Except for the Marquis of Merosier who trusted his servants too much, they thought that this was just a short-sighted behavior, everyone else was extremely angry.
"Everyone should be very clear about how the wealthy families deal with their slaves who betrayed them. Eckert has seen that those who returned to Serthborough with me were the envoys of the wealthy families I visited. For those merchants, these envoys were no less powerful and more powerful than the imperial envoys."
Fez did not intend to boast too much about his achievements, and it was unnecessary to show off in front of Mr. Hyde and Eckert, so he told the matter again as simply as possible.
"Then those merchants have been suppressed?" Eckert asked. He was not in Nangang, so he was not sure what happened in Nangang.
"The leaders have been eliminated, and they will be escorted back and punished by their masters, but I doubt that several of them can survive. As far as I know, there seems to be no way to survive for the punishment of the betrayer. The lynching of the wealthy family has always been cruel." Fez's tone was a little gloating.
"Those merchants are not fools. Will they attack early or run away? It may not be appropriate to let Count Robert notice it." Eckert said worriedly.
"Don't worry, those merchants were secretly detained in the detention center of the Commercial Federation. This was arranged by Mr. Hyde himself, and the detention of these people did not alarm anyone else. What's more, Mr. Hyde was planning to invite several gentlemen to visit the accomplices who had been detained, and then let them see the envoys sent by wealthy families. I think most of the merchants who were originally completely hostile to us will stand on our side obediently."
The meaning of gloating in Fez's tone became even stronger. He even couldn't wait to see the fear of the merchants.
Eckert did not expect that most of the things he was worried about had been resolved. He shook his head and sighed and said, "It seems that I am too worried. Even if I don't travel this time, you will soon ask the merchants for their confession."
"No, you came very quickly. The news you brought us will relieve our doubts. The surrender of Viscount Falis will be of great benefit to us. And we know now about the reveal of Rebbo's life experience, and it may be completely different from what it takes to know a few days later." Mr. Hyde said. Although in the darkness, he could still see Mr. Hyde shook his head repeatedly, it was obvious that this was indeed what he thought of, not just a perfunctory excuse to Eckert.
"So what should those pirates do? If the merchants are already under control, then the pirates' actions will naturally be no longer needed, right?" Eckert asked, worried that everything he had already arranged was in vain because of the sudden good news.
"Why stop such a well-arranged show?" Mr. Hyde said with a smile.
"You still want to keep the action?" Eckert felt that his boss was really unfathomable.
"The looting of the South Port is a signal that Count Robert started to take action. If there were no pirates, wouldn't the trap we set up for Count Robert be completely useless? Besides, we cheated more than 100,000 gold coins from Maier and did not perform a good show, how could we do it?
"Anyway, there are those merchants who are about to be executed by their masters now, so we can make a fortune from this looting. Isn't the merchant named Kebain the one who contacted the pirates? He is now locked in a detention center, and the money promised by the pirates will naturally not be in their hands. Isn't it normal for the pirates to rob the merchants entrusted to them in order to vent their personal anger?" Mr. Hyde laughed happily while talking. Obviously, he was in a very happy mood now.
Eckert finally understood what the boss meant.
He absolutely admires the boss.
"So, do you want those pirates to take action? Let Peam find some older men to pretend to be pirates, and all the things they stolen belong to us. Why should we share the spoils with the pirates?" Eckert asked.
"Don't be so greedy as a human being. If we can benefit from it and make a strong friend at the same time, why not do it? Those pirates already know this plan. Now, suddenly we will take over all the errands. Guess what they will think? Don't forget, we will use them." Mr. Hyde shook his head again and said.
Although Eckert's decision to plan major matters is almost the same as the qualities that he should have as an outstanding thief leader, he still lacks some of his grasp of some things, which is something that Mr. Hyde deeply worried about.
In fact, he once intended to train Rebbo to become the leader of a thief. Rebbo has the mind and courage that Eckert does not have, but his old magician friend probably won't get what he wants.
"Boss, you're right. We don't suffer any losses if we robbed all the dozens of businesses, and at least six or seven million can be made, half of which can be more than three million. In addition, the valuable goods stolen by the pirates cannot be sold. We can make some troubles on this and make a lot of money." Fez said excitedly.
"Fez, your vision is still too short. What the boss really cares about should not be this. If we talk about wealth, the property of the Byrndit family that has been transferred to our name is enough for us to spend. This is already a huge deal. Miel assumes that we will swallow such a large amount of wealth, which is equivalent to giving us the reward for this adventure." Eckert said.
"Yes, Mail has always refused my power to enter Southport. The golden fingers of Peem's subordinates are fine, but the casinos and underground transactions in Southport do not allow me to enter. That is too much. I happened to take advantage of this pirate incident and give my old friend a color to let him know that his city is unguarded and that if I really plan to force it into, he will suffer huge losses." Mr. Hyde said calmly.
"This is indeed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Boss, you are native to Nangang, so you can't take ruthless measures against Nangang. What's more troublesome is who to choose as the target, which makes you hesitate. Now everything has been solved. The goal is to jump out and catch your attention. The reason for taking action is sufficient, and it will not affect the prosperity of Nangang. As long as you shift the responsibility to the unlucky merchants afterwards, it's enough." Eckert said.
These words were explained to Fez. This matter requires strong assistance. If he has only a little understanding of the entire plan, he may make major mistakes.
"I'm very happy that you can see all this. Now I can finally retire with confidence." Mr. Hyde said with satisfaction. Eckert's meticulousness and steadiness satisfy him. As long as he helps him check on major issues, nothing big should happen.
Eckert felt a little worried about the re-report of the boss's old story.
From the bottom of his heart, he did not want to be a thief forever, but once Mr. Hyde put the burden of the thief union on him, he would never be able to get rid of it.
Mr. Hyde was obviously very clear about Eckert's thoughts. He changed the topic and said, "Fez, since we have all arranged it, you should come out next. It is not convenient for Eckert and I to contact those merchants. Mayer and his men cannot do things to satisfy us. Therefore, you are the most suitable person to put pressure on. You can take those merchants to visit the scenery of the detention center and talk to the envoys of those wealthy families."
"It would be quite an interesting thing," Fez said excitedly.
"Eckert, go to the detention center and try to get more information from those unlucky guys. Don't be stingy with the flesh of the merchants, put on makeup to welcome our distinguished guests." Mr. Hyde's tone was cold.
Suddenly, Mr. Hyde seemed to remember something. He shook his head and said, "Forget it, Eckert, I'll do this work myself. You hurry back to Fort Serth. The certificate signed by Elder Mondie should have been almost finished. You will do your best to deal with Count Robert. After Ted recruits all the pirates, the action will begin, and you must control the important Count Revey tightly before the action begins."
"How should we deal with Count Robert?" Eckert asked with a serious expression.
"Let Count Revey pretend to obey him first, and Viscount Falice also pretend to sing with him. When Count Robert thought he was all in one's order, when he stood enthusiastically at the top of the power of Serthberg, and when he stood high enough, you can start to slap the bricks under his feet." Mr. Hyde's tone was relaxed and pleasant.
"It would be great if I could rehearse it in advance. This would be the most exciting repertoire I have ever participated in in my life." Eckert suddenly sighed.
"If you want, you can think about the script on the way back, and we're happy to turn this show into a classic," Mr. Hyde said happily.
