They all call me master.

Chapter 631: Misfortune is coming!

Melinda noticed the ships with malicious intentions.

It's so obvious.

Not only was the timing a coincidence, but some of the ships were clearly traveling empty. The intention was too obvious - they were heading for the 'Vostok'.

However, the lady was not worried.

She believed in Arthur.

And her?

Just do what you are supposed to do.

"Edwin, I need detailed information about Lucius, Eula, and Joe within the hour."

Melinda gave orders to her driver.

Lucius, Eula and Joe were the people arranged by Arthur, and she would certainly not forget them.

At the same time, the lady took up her pipe.

call!
The smoke was gently exhaled, and the lady began to write rapidly in the smoke.

A man, wearing brown linen clothes and with a dirty face, was standing on the side of the dock near Brewer's Company.

A woman, wearing last year's popular light green leg-of-mutton sleeve dress, and a man riding in a double carriage near 2-21 Dockside Trail.

male……

The lady delivered the orders one by one.

These people are the ones who just revealed their bad intentions.

Although the identities of these people cannot be confirmed, this does not prevent Melinda from sending people to keep an eye on these guys.

And this is what she must do.

"I think Melinda has already spotted those guys who showed up, right?"

Arthur leaned his upper body against the chair with his legs placed on the table in front of him, looking relaxed and contented.

Arthur had anticipated that the 'Orient' would be targeted.

After all, unlike the quietly established 'Miss Qiu's Security Company' and 'Mr. Five Exchange', 'Oriental' was too open and aboveboard, and was really widely advertised.

Others can't help but know this.

Naturally, you will be targeted by a group of people.

These people include enemies and people with ulterior motives.

There might even be some conspirators targeting this young, honest, simple and kind-hearted 'medium'.

So, Arthur followed...

Just seconds after showing up!

At this time, Arthur would not show mercy even for the sake of his other businesses.

People are greedy and have no bottom line.

A momentary concession will only turn a sheep into a wolf.

And when the jackals gather in greater and greater numbers, that's when it's time to swarm them.

At that time, let alone pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger, even a real tiger would not be able to escape the fate of being eaten.

The saint once said, "Strike the first blow to prevent a hundred blows from coming!"

He, Arthur, loves to listen to the teachings of saints!
What's more, he is fully prepared.

Without any intention of getting up, Arthur raised his hand, and a [Hand of Nothingness] brought him a cup of orange tea - vitamin supplementation is necessary for ocean trade. Although the 'Orient' was only sailing along the coast, it still followed tradition and prepared this rare drink for ocean trade.

Of course, if you don’t like it, there are also a variety of fruits to choose from.

The biggest advantage of coastal sailing is that there will be no shortage of supplies.

Arthur took a sip of the sweet and sour drink, looked at the ships behind him that had ill intentions, and whispered -

"Bad luck when traveling, be careful of the wind and waves!"

After saying that, Arthur gently raised his glass towards the ships, as if wishing them good luck.

And in the captain's cabin of the 'Orient'.

The first mate, Albert, was staring solemnly at the thirteen ships behind the Orient.

The 30-year-old first mate of the "Orient" was certain that these guys had bad intentions. He could understand everything just by looking at the draft of the ship.

Therefore, Albert, who was serving as the first mate of a ship for the first time, gripped the hilt of his sword tightly. The first mate had already decided to fight these bastards.

It is the same even if the enemy outnumbers us.

After all, he had worked hard for so many years and was lucky enough to become the first mate of a ship. For someone from a civilian family, this was simply impossible.

Although Nanlos is free, invisible rules still exist.

For example, on a passenger ship of the level of the 'Orient', the first mate must definitely be from a middle-class family, and the captain, in the Silver Age, must be a noble, perhaps a small, impoverished noble, but a noble status for sure. Even in the 'Pioneer Age', when this rule became more relaxed, it was still rare.

Therefore, Albert knew very well that if he lost his position as first mate on the "Orient", he would never be able to become first mate on another ship.

Moreover, those jealous guys would definitely spread rumors, saying that it was because of him that the "Vostok" met with an accident.

Others will definitely believe it.

It is impossible to explain such a rumor.

Rather than being in such a state of disgrace that he had no place to stay in South Los, the first mate was ready to fight.

But the captain 'Barry' smiled and waved his hand.

"Don't be nervous, Albert.

Things haven't come to that point yet.

Don't forget whose ship this is."

As a captain seconded from Melinda, Barry knows some things.

The captain's face had the dark and reddish color unique to ocean-going sailors, and his body looked much more sturdy than that of ordinary people. Even though his beard had turned white, his hands were still strong.

Snapped!
At this moment, the palm slapped Albert's arm.

"captain?"

The first mate was puzzled.

Of course he knew that this was the ship of the 'medium' of Nanlos.

However, even if Nanlos is a 'medium', what can he do in the face of those vicious river pirates?

We can't kill all those river pirates, can we?

“Relax.

I am just here for a transition period. In one or two years, I will retire, and at that time, the position of captain of the "Orient" will be yours.

So, you need to understand something.

Remember our boatswain?"

The captain reminded his first mate.

As an old man who was about to retire, Barry didn't mind giving Albert some advice. After all, this was the purpose of his being in this position.

For this reason, he was very envious of Albert, a guy from a common family, who was noticed by the boss and the big boss.

He could easily imagine that as long as Albert did not make any mistakes, he would be able to rise to the top.

Therefore, at this time, the "tight-lipped" Barry became the "big-mouthed" Barry.

“Old John?
This guy disappeared after the boat left!
Is he an accomplice of those river pirates?"

Albert frowned when he talked about the boatswain who didn't look like a normal sailor.

Whether it was the three big gold teeth or the other party's casual appearance, the first mate felt that the other party was more like a pirate than a sailor.

Even if the other party seems to be doing his or her job.

But precisely because of this anomaly, the first mate became more suspicious.

"How can it be!

Anyone on this ship could be an accomplice of the river pirates, except Old John.

That guy, what he despises most is river pirates!"

Captain Barry, the "Big Mouth" who obviously knew more about the inside story, pointed in the direction behind the ship while speaking.

First mate Albert immediately turned his head to look.

Suddenly, the first mate was stunned.

"This is impossible!"
