Pirates: The biggest scum in naval history

Chapter 194 The auction begins

In a private room of a luxury hotel.

Darren was leaning on the sofa, holding a lit cigar in his mouth, and was looking at the map in his hand intently.

This is a map of the "Coin Island" that he bought at a high price from an information dealer. It clearly depicts the topography of the Coin Island, the distribution of buildings, and the distribution locations of various trading ports.

At this time, there was less than an hour before the auction started.

Darren must determine the information he has before the auction begins, and then perfect his plan as much as possible.

He never believed that anyone could succeed easily, unless that person was Porusalino.

Reading the map, Darren marked the locations of the major pirate groups in each port, and then began to think about the deployment of troops.

From the map, the Island of Coins, just like its name, has a circular shape.

The edge of "Coin" is surrounded by the sea. The closer it spreads to the center of "Coin", the denser the commercial area will be, with more and more banks, chambers of commerce and other buildings.

The center of "Coin" is the main venue of the auction.

Their action this time was too hasty and their troops were even more limited.

What their navy has to face, in addition to the pirate forces that have surfaced, they must also always pay attention to the golden lion that may appear at any time.

So Darren had to be even more careful and make sure everything was as safe as possible.

"Tuk-tuk-tuk."

There was a knock on the door.

"come in."

Darren responded, flicking the ash from his cigar.

"Commodore Darren, here's your whiskey on ice."

A young navy soldier came in and respectfully handed Darren a glass of wine.

"Well, that's troublesome."

Darren smiled, casually took out a wad of colorful banknotes and handed it over.

"No, no need, Brigadier General Darren!"

The young soldier waved his hands nervously and hurriedly, his face flushed.

"Take it."

Darren picked up the glass and took a sip, his eyes still on the map.

"I'm not in the habit of letting people do work for me for free."

"No, it's my honor to serve Lord Darren!"

The young navy soldier said excitedly.

Darren then put down his work and raised his head to glance at him.

The naval soldier wore a military cap and looked a little tired. His slightly messy black hair poked out from under the military cap. The eyes he looked at him exuded admiration and admiration.

Although his face is young and tender, there is a different kind of perseverance between his eyebrows.

Darren smiled, not forcing it.

"also."

The naval soldier scratched his head and said:

"I don't want to reject Commodore Darren's kindness, I... I am so excited... Commodore Darren, I have heard of your name a long time ago... You have managed the chaotic North Sea into peace, and even more... Killed a big pirate like Bundy Waldo..."

As if he was too excited, he stuttered a little.

"You are the idol I have always wanted to follow!"

Seeing the young man in front of him looking like he was successfully chasing stars, Darren couldn't help but laugh:

"May I have your name?"

The young navy was shocked, puffed up his chest, raised his hands in a standard military salute, and shouted loudly:

"Lieutenant Arthur of the Navy Headquarters, I have met Commodore Darren!"

"My goal in joining the Navy is to protect the tranquility of a sea area, promote justice, and change the world like Commodore Darren!!"

The voice was loud and full of vigor and passion that young people should have.

Arthur…

Darren murmured softly.

I don't know if it's an illusion, but the temperament of the black-haired naval soldier in front of me is somewhat similar to that of Dorag before he "defected".

That unprecedentedly strong sense of justice, and the slightly middle-aged look between his eyebrows... are very similar.

"It's not easy to change the world..."

Darren suddenly smiled and said:

"Arthur, do you want to be my subordinate?"

Arthur was stunned when he heard this, and then nodded ecstatically:

"Can I!?"

Darren smiled and said:

"sure."

"I can just tell the Warring States General about this kind of thing."

Perhaps out of nostalgia for his friends, Darren made such a suggestion.

"That, that's really great!"

Arthur was so excited that his hands were shaking, he bent down and bowed:

"Thank you Brigadier General Darren! I will not let you down!!"

Darren chuckled and said:

"try hard."

This kind of thing was just a piece of cake for him, but it was of great significance to Arthur.

Why not?

…

The din of shouting was overwhelming.

The auction venue was crowded with people.

The entire venue presented an arena-like environment, with a circular high platform covered with a red carpet in the center and surrounded by countless seats below.

Above the seats in the auditorium, there are luxury boxes specially provided for VIPs.

Each box is surrounded by a giant glass screen that isolates sight to ensure the privacy of VIPs and avoid the prying eyes of others.

"Boy Darren, how did you get the VIP box?"

In the VIP box numbered 3A, Warring States looked down through the huge floor-to-ceiling glass at the auction stage and the crowded auditorium, and sighed in admiration.

This box is decorated in a high-end style, with all kinds of refreshments and fruits, and even the top-notch cigarettes and fine wines.

Even the waiter who came in just now made a subtle payment. If the distinguished guests want other "entertainment items", they can provide them for free.

Warring States smoked a cigar worth more than 300,000 Baileys and drank a bottle of red wine worth close to his annual salary. He just felt that the past half of his life had been in vain.

After fighting all his life, he has never enjoyed this kind of treatment!

"300 million Baileys, VIP treatment."

Darren replied calmly.

"puff!!"

Warring States spurted out a mouthful of red wine.

He glanced at the red wine scattered on the floor with some distress, and then stared at Darren with his legs crossed in disbelief.

"Three, three hundred million!?"

This can build three warships! !

Darren looked at Seng Guo's stunned look and couldn't help laughing:

"General of the Warring States Period, there is no room for failure in this mission."

"Our identity is special and cannot be exposed casually. This money must be spent."

The corners of Zhan Guo's mouth twitched.

Darren is right. As the navy, they cannot reveal their identity, otherwise it will definitely cause a huge commotion in the auction venue. If something happens and the auction is terminated, they will not even be able to see the Momo Fruit.

Just 300 million Baileys is not a big deal...

Warring States paused, and suddenly his eyes sharpened, staring closely at the precious fruits, tobacco and alcohol from all over the world on the table.

Since the money has been given, you can’t suffer a loss!

While Warring States was busy dealing with the table full of tobacco, alcohol and fruits, at the auction venue below, a middle-aged man in a black tuxedo slowly climbed onto the high platform.

He picked up a microphone, faced the guests below who could not restrain themselves and were about to move, bowed slightly and politely, and said with a smile:

"I am very grateful to the guests from all over the world who came to participate in this auction organized by Mr. Lou Field."

"On behalf of Mr. Field, I would like to extend my welcome to you all."

After the words fell, someone below shouted noisily:

“Stop talking so much nonsense and start the auction quickly!!”

"That's right!!"

"My time is very precious!"

"..."

The auctioneer in a tuxedo smiled politely:

"It seems that everyone can't wait any longer, so I won't say any nonsense and will start our auction immediately!"

"Next, is the first auction item of our auction!"

He raised his hand, and several security personnel in black suits carried a box onto the high platform.

Deng Deng Deng!
