Chapter 456: Pirate Wanted List

"Commander-in-Chief Commander, Lord Lord, please come to the banquet hall."

As soon as James reached the door of the headquarters, the tall and thin guard standing guard saluted him.

James nodded, and was about to walk in the direction of the banquet hall when the Humpty Dumpty guard next to him suddenly spoke, "Commander-in-chief, we admire your feat of lurking in the port of Totuga to crush the pirate plot. โ€

James frowned slightly.

He recognized that these two guards were his former subordinates, and these two guards were full-time janitors, so they were not on board when James went out to sea to pursue the Black Pearl, and certainly did not encounter a hurricane.

They really think that everything is just acting, and they really think that the "truth" released by the official is the truth.

James smiled wryly, and instead of responding to the two doormen, he walked straight in and walked towards the banquet hall.

The tall and thin doorman said to the Humpty Dumpty doorman, "Look at you, you have upset our commander-in-chief." โ€

Humpty Dumpty pouted and said, "How can it be me?" It must be that you didn't start well. โ€

"Phew, I started very well, it's clear that you dragged me back."

"Alas, I still hope that by virtue of my previous friendship with the commander-in-chief, I can become an official and a half-job, it seems that we still have to continue to watch the door."

"Actually, if you think about it, it's not bad to watch the door, at least you don't have to be swallowed up by a hurricane."

"Well, but, you remember Barbossa, right? When Barbossa is cursed, won't he be able to attack our Port Royal with a pirate ship? โ€

"Barbossana is cursed because those pirates are undead, so they dare to attack Port Royal, but look at what other pirates dare to attack Port Royal now? Our Lord Bert has issued the strictest ban on piracy, and in this case, it won't be long before the pirates will not even be able to provide food and drink, and they will starve to death! โ€

"I'm afraid that the pirates didn't starve to death, and more and more people rose up to resist Lord Beckett."

The two guards are talking nonsense.

By this time, James had already entered the dining room.

"Aha!" Lord Beckett smiled and said, "Look who's coming, our battle hero, Your Excellency the Glorious Commander-in-Chief, come on, James, thank you for your great contribution to the extermination of pirates!" โ€

The officers at the banquet stood up to toast James, and Governor Swan, who sat next to Lord Beckett, looked at James with a numb face.

โ€ฆโ€ฆ I didn't exterminate pirates, I killed innocent people who were unarmed!

James's heart hurt so much that he wanted to shout out, but he had to squeeze out a smile on his face, "Thank you, Lord Lord, this is what I should do." โ€

To be a puppet and a dog's leg, you have to have the consciousness of being a puppet and a dog's leg!

Beckett nodded in satisfaction, "Very well, Lord James, I will write a letter to Her Majesty overnight to tell her how you are doing today." โ€

He was clearly commending James, but in fact, he was showing off to everyone present that he could write directly to Her Majesty!

"Come, hurry up and take your seat, this dinner has been specially set up for youโ€”of course, it will be hosted by Governor Swan." Beckett laughed.

James hurriedly bowed to Governor Swan.

Governor Swan's face was expressionless.

James couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart.

It was not for nothing that Governor Swan hated him.

In order to reinstate the official, James gave David Jones's heart to Beckett, and with David Jones's heart, Beckett completely controlled the flying Dutchman, which was the main reason why Beckett dared to issue the strictest pirate order in the Caribbean.

Therefore, the death of so many innocent people really has a great deal to do with James.

Although this is also what James does not want to see, the result has already been cast.

James was only thinking about going back in time, and he didn't think about the ripple effect at all.

Now, he is not only reinstated, but even higher, and has twelve warships under his command, but this is definitely not his past.

What annoyed Governor Swan even more was that because of James's actions, his Elizabeth was still listed as a pirate, and was also on Beckett's wanted pirate list.

On this pirate wanted list, it is basically impossible to be whitewashed.

Elizabeth will forever be branded as a pirate by the authorities.

And if according to the ban on piracy, he should also be executed, and the reason why he is not dead until now is only because he is still useful here in Beckett, and Becket also needs to use his Governor's Seal to benefit the Dondo Trading Company.

James sat down to the left of Lord Beckett, and the servant immediately placed a beautiful set of silver cutlery in front of him.

There were a lot of dishes on the table, and they were very delicious, but James didn't have any appetite at all.

Beckett picked up a piece of Spanish ham and said lightly: "Has the pirate wanted list been made?" โ€

Adjutant Mather immediately said: "It's almost certain, but there are still a few pirates who are quite controversial about the bounty price." โ€

"Oh? While our commander-in-chief is here, you can tell me about the bounty list and let the commander-in-chief check it, he has lived with pirates for a long time, and he naturally has the most say in this kind of thing. Beckett laughed.

Mather glanced at James contemptuously, took a sip from his glass of water, and then began to speak: "Lord Commander-in-Chief, our pirate list is not just the Caribbean, but includes the most threatening pirates in the world to the East Indo Trading Company. โ€

James said in a deep voice, "Then ask Master Mather for advice." โ€

Mather smiled coldly: "The first in line is the Tang Pirate King of the South China Sea, Howling Wind, and his bounty is one million gold coins. โ€

James' eyes widened in horror, "Howling Wind? A million gold coins? He's so valuable? โ€

Mather scoffed, "Do you know how many ships and goods this guy has robbed of our Dondo Trading Company?" Almost everything we have stolen from the Tang people will be robbed by him! His pirate headquarters is in the Strait of Malacca, where the sea is very complicated, but it is the only way for our Dongindu Trading Company, we have four governors, five fleet commanders, all of whom died at his hands, as for goods, silver, and cultural relics, not to mention a million gold coins? โ€

James nodded slightly, "I have indeed heard of the name of Xiaofeng, but I didn't expect him to be the first on the bounty list." โ€

"The second is an old friend you know wellโ€”Jack Sparrow." Mather said lightly: "He is known for his cunning, his Black Pearl has been crisscrossing the Caribbean for more than ten years, and he is one of the most difficult enemies of our British Empire, and his bounty is 500,000 gold coins. โ€

"Of course, he's dead." Mather grinned.
