458 No problem
Brady comes from an inconspicuous coastal town in the Principal of Seaville. Most of the townspeople rely on the marine fishing industry to make a living. Only a few people choose to venture to trade overseas, and Brady is one of them. ≤
It is undeniable that the profits of maritime trade are indeed far more than those of traditional fishing, but any harvest comes at a corresponding price. Considering the various risks faced by overseas trade, people will weigh the pros and cons with extra caution, and the results vary from person to person.
Brady's ancestors were all fishermen, with an ordinary family and had a worry-free life since childhood. According to normal trends, he might have inherited his father's business and continued to fish for a lifetime. Brady once thought that his life trajectory was nothing more than this. However, when he saw those people who returned from overseas trade and lived a free and prosperous life, his thoughts suddenly changed tremendously, and the heart that was unwilling to be ordinary began to move.
Later, despite his parents' strong opposition, he secretly boarded the merchant ship to trade and left his hometown. At first, Brady was afraid of going home and facing his parents' criticism. He once lived in other cities on the West Coast for six years. During this period, he only asked someone to bring back the news of his safety. When he worked hard to gain an old-style small merchant ship and enough connections, he thought he could have the attitude to go home, but he learned the bad news of his parents' death overly sad.
Time will not come again, and regret will not help.
Brady, immersed in sadness and pain, finally went out to sea again after a year of depression, but he was no longer the young man who was passionate and impulsive at the time. Every time he returned from a successful trade, he would live in the town safely for a while, and would not go out to sea again when he was almost short of money. He did not change until he got married and had children.
"Uncle Brady. It seems that someone is asking for help in the water ahead!"
The door of the captain's room suddenly made people push open. Brady, who was taking a nap, woke up suddenly, and then saw little Toby shouting in front of him in a panic.
"Little Toby, how many times have I told you that I must not bother me when I rest. Believe it or not, I will throw you into the sea next time!"
Brady was disturbed by the nap and was in a very bad mood. He didn't care about what Toby said at all and roared angrily.
"Uncle Brady...I was wrong..." Little Toby quickly lowered his head and whispered.
"What did you say just now?" After finally calming down his irritable mood, Brady calmed down and thought that the other party was his wife's nephew. After all, it was a family, and the words just now seemed to be too much.
"Uncle Brady, just now I was holding the sail and accidentally saw someone falling into the sea in the distance, as if asking us for help, so I..." Little Toby grabbed the corner of her clothes nervously and said nervously.
"Someone is in the sea for help?"
Brady was stunned and turned to the thought that anything could happen in the waters of Monteres.
"Don't pay attention to the other party and continue sailing directly according to the original route." Brady thought for a moment and waved his hand.
"But... there seemed to be two ladies among the people who fell into the water to ask for help..." Little Toby, who was unbearable, hurriedly said.
"Two ladies?" Brady frowned.
"Yes, there is a young gentleman in addition to that." Little Toby said.
"There are only three?" Brady asked.
"Yes." Little Toby nodded.
"Forget it, let Taber know to control the rudder and sail towards them." Brady changed his attention temporarily.
"Okay. Uncle Brady, I'll inform Uncle Tabor right away."
After saying that, little Toby turned around and left immediately.
The little guy still needs exercise!
Looking at the little Toby's departure, Brady couldn't help but shake his head. If his wife hadn't asked him to take little Toby to study business and business, he would have inherited a family business in the future, otherwise he would have been too lazy to bring such a burden.
Brady used for trade with few crew members, and he and Toby only had two other people, the first mate and helmsman Taber, and the second mate and sailor Wrights, both of them were life and death brothers who Brady had made after running away from home. Later, he followed him all the way back to his hometown. Now they have married and settled in the town, which is absolutely trustworthy and reliable.
After tidying up his clothes, Brady, who had just walked out of the cabin, heard the loud voice of the sailor Wrights.
"Hey! Man! Need help?"
"I would be grateful if there was a soft ladder thrown down." A strange voice said.
"Haha! Toby, it's time for your turn to perform." Wrights laughed.
"It's...Uncle Wrights!" Little Toby responded nervously.
Brady came to the side of the boat and happened to see little Toby throwing it from the boat with a soft ladder. After a while, a young lady was soaked in the sea water on the side of the boat. Although she looked ordinary, she was so full of youth. When she saw little Toby greeting the other person in a hurry, Brady couldn't help but sigh that the little guy was still too young to women.
After all the three people who were in the sea to ask for help were safely boarded the boat, Brady came over and greeted her.
"Misses! Brady, the captain of Shino's ship, may I ask what accident happened to you at sea?"
"Mr. Brady, thank you for your rescue. When I was out on a boat with my two female companions, unfortunately encountered a storm that caused the ship to capsize. We have been drifting on the sea for a day. If we hadn't met you, the captain...ah..." The young man in the lead sighed at Brady while thanking him.
"Storm? According to my observations of the weather, Monteres has been in good weather these days. How could he encounter a storm?" Brady frowned and puzzled, "Please ask me if you want to ask me, where are the gentlemen and ladies from?"
"Mr. Brady, I'm from Korkis with two female companions." said the young man.
"Korkis? The windmill kingdom north of the Principality of Cialis? Oh my God! Why did you come to Monterey when you come out for fun?" Brady said in surprise.
"Haha... Captain Brady, I'm sorry, there is our unspeakable hidden secret in this, please forgive us, we can't tell you." The young man seemed nervous to hold the hand of the female companion beside him and smiled dryly.
elopement?
Brady's eyelids twitched when he noticed the other party's movements, and this idea popped up in his mind.
"Since that's the case, I'll just ask." Brady nodded.
"Mr. Captain, can you ask for something?" At this time, the young man suddenly said.
"What's the matter?" Brady said.
"Can you please send us back to Korkis?" said the young man embarrassedly.
"Sorry, I'm going to go to Grenada for trade activities, I'm afraid..." Brady said tactfully.
"Captain Brady, what if I were willing to pay ten times the money you traded this time?"
The young man's next words immediately shocked Brady and Toby around him on the spot.
"Sir... are you saying ten times?" Little Toby exclaimed in confusion.
"Yes, I can give you a deposit now if you don't believe it."
As he said that, the young man snapped his fingers and a pile of golden coins appeared on the deck of the ship.
Space storage virtual ring?
Brady, who saw the strange situation in front of him, exclaimed in his heart, and his eyes were different when he looked at the young man!
He has seen the world, so he naturally knows the meaning of the Void Ring. This is not a treasure that ordinary people can possess. He heard from Korkis. Brady speculated that the young man in front of him was either the master of the great nobles or the son of the Korkis royal family. Only such people are qualified to wear treasures such as Void Ring.
However, the noble young masters who grew up in the greenhouse are indeed too simple. Don’t they know the reason why they don’t show their money?
Taking a deep breath, Brady glanced at the gold coins under his feet. He had to admit that he could not resist the temptation of ten times the gold coins after all!
"Sir, I'll take over your business! We will turn our courses right now to Korkis!" Brady kicked the stunned little Toby and said, "Boy, why don't you put the gold coins away immediately? Do you want them to accidentally slide into the sea?"
"Thank you for your help, I will never forget your kindness." said the young man.
"Haha! Sir, you are so polite. I don't know what you and the two ladies are called?" Brady in a good mood said with a hearty smile.
"In Lower Lowell, this is Lower Fiancée Erin, and the other lady is my sister Shani." The young man who claimed to be Lower Lowell took turns to introduce.
"Haha, Mr. Lowell, your fiancée looks bad, otherwise I will take you to the cabin first to take a rest." Brady, who is good at observing words and expressions, couldn't help but suggest after noticing the mental conditions of the two ladies.
"I'm so troubled." The young man thanked.
In order to increase cargo capacity, Brady's old small merchant ship was modified, and all unnecessary rooms were converted into cargo warehouses, so the space in the cabin was very small and congested. Brady specially vacated Toby's room for these three young men and women.
After Brady had settled them, he left temporarily with something, and there were only three people left in the narrow room.
"Xialan...I want to ask you something." Adelina, who had been in a short silence, spoken. "When they sent us to their destination, will you choose to kill and silence me like when you treated the Oak?"
"Adelina, do you know the consequences of leaving their lives?" Xia Lan asked calmly.
"I know that if they are left with their lives, we may be completely exposed, but... our whereabouts were exposed as early as Monteres, and sooner or later we will be followed..." said Adrina.
“There is a difference between exposure one step earlier and one step later.” Xia Lan said. “At least we can have more options.”
"Can I ask you not to kill them?" Adelina bit her lip and looked at Xia Lan with a weak and pitiful look.
"No problem." Xia Lan smiled and nodded.
no problem?
