"No wonder Fraser kept saying you're the toughest guy on board." Owen said, "But you still lost this one." He suddenly sat up straight from his chair and didn't look hurt any more, "Unfortunately, if it weren't for the situation getting worse to this extent, I wouldn't have used this trick in the first place." ”

Owen stomped his feet, and then a fight rang out outside the captain's room.

The boatswain grinned, "You don't really think I don't have a backup plan, Edward Titch is not here now, he took most of the people who were willing to be loyal to you when he disembarked, although there are so many people on this ship, but only five people on the deck are willing to obey your orders unconditionally, and I still have eleven people on my hands, kill them, and then kill you, my story can still be told, but a little twist, I need to add an ending, do you think- Orff kept his position in order to conceal the unfavorable news on the shore, and what was the ending of killing people and being killed? ”

The battle outside the door ended sooner than expected, and the winner was already decided in the moment when the two spoke.

As soon as Owen finished speaking, the door to the captain's chamber was pushed open from the outside, and two of his men stood outside, but their faces were not filled with triumphant joy, but rather with a look of horror and disbelief, for they now had two short muskets on the back of their heads.

This is the first time that Owen's expression has changed dramatically tonight, he knows his combat effectiveness very well, eleven people against five people, and it is a surprise, no matter how you look at it, it is impossible to lose.

"You're smart, you're one of the smartest people I've ever met in my life," Orff said, "You've been on board for so many years without showing any of your feet, and you've had a clear idea of our henchmen, and you've waited until Tich disembarks and we're at our weakest, and you're just close to winning, but it's a pity...... You forgot about a bunch of people. ”

Zhang Heng walked in from outside the door, retracting his saber from his waist, and at the same time he came in with the old sailors who had been imprisoned under the ship before, and they were escorting Owen's eleven men together.

"It's you, how is that possible?!" Owen was surprised, "You guys are Orff's people?" Wait, could it be that everything that happened last night was that you were acting, and there was no little note at all? ”

"No, the co-signed note exists." Zhang Heng said, "Billy, they are indeed worried about Orff and Titch's leadership of this ship, including the previous treatment of Goodwin, the heavy casualties on the ship during this period and the excessive fanaticism of Kidd's treasure, they wrote down the questions they wanted to question Orff on a note, signed their names, and prepared to challenge the captain and helmsman together, but they were betrayed before they could do anything, Kent and Fraser, one of the conveners, had a close relationship, but in fact, they had already switched to Orff.

Kent ostensibly rallied all those who opposed Orff and Titch on Fraser's instructions, and encouraged them to challenge the authority of the captain and helmsman, but behind the scenes, he told Orff all about Billy's private activities. It was only after I discovered Kent's position that I figured out a question that had been bothering me for a long time, as I already knew that Kent was not his man when Nassau Fraser visited me late at night and told me Kent's name. ”

Owen raised an eyebrow, "Oh? ”

"Fraser just wanted to expose me to Orff, in fact, not only Orff couldn't see what role I was playing in this matter, at first even I couldn't guess what role Frazier wanted me to play in this matter, he invested a lot in me, but he has always been generous and did not ask for anything in return, I was very curious, if I didn't plan to play according to his script, wouldn't he lose all his money? But then I figured out that Fraser didn't care how I played the game, he just needed someone to get Orff's attention. ”

"In a sense, Billy and I both play the same role, both of them are bait that Fraser put out to confuse his eyes, in order to reduce Orff's vigilance and create opportunities for you, but because my relationship with him is more conspicuous, in order to deal with Orff and Titch, Fraser did take another student, but that person is you and not me."

Zhang Heng paused and continued, "Let's go back to the note, this actually happened three days ago, Billy and they wrote the note at the instigation of Kent, and after Orff found out, he forced Elmer to write the thank you letter you read, ready to frame Billy and them, so according to the normal progress, this matter should have broken out three days ago." ”

"Why didn't this matter break out three days ago?"

"Because I stopped it." Zhang Heng said lightly, "To be honest, I don't want to get involved in your grievances with Orff and Titch at all, but Fraser has gone too far, not only using me, but also planning to treat me as an outcast, there is no way, I can only go and take his army." ”

"That's when you decided to join forces with Orff?"

"It wasn't an easy thing to do given the state of trust we had with each other, but we tried to talk openly and honestly, and although it was a bit difficult, we were able to come to a consensus."

"What do you want? Maybe I can give it to you too. Owen hadn't given up on his last effort and tried to throw an olive branch.

Zhang Heng shook his head, "My request is very simple, since Billy and they are already disappointed in this boat, and Orff is not at ease with them, it is better to let them get off the boat." ”

"I still don't understand, why would Orff believe you and give you the right to move freely tonight, so that he really doesn't worry about you being a student of Fraser?"

"Because of that note." At this time, Orff on the side finally added, "Last night's incident was not just for you to show a scene, there is a stain on their bodies with that note, there is only one way to get off the boat, unless the remaining sixty people on the ship are killed, it is impossible to take the ship, but there is an agreement between us, after tonight, I will rehabilitate them and restore their reputation." ”

Billy snorted coldly and threw the bundled captives in the corridor outside, "Remember your promise, from now on we will not owe each other, after saying that, he turned his head to look at Zhang Heng again, "We are waiting for you in the boat, captain." ”

Zhang Heng nodded, "It's hard work." ”

When everyone left, only Orff, Owen and Zhang Heng were left in the room.

Owen suddenly grinned, "Captain? Awesome, the biggest winner tonight turned out to be you, I know you plan to get off the ship after the end of the year, I didn't expect to even get the team together, Billy and they are the most experienced old sailors on this ship, you saved them from Orff, they will definitely follow you in the future. ”
