We Agreed to Set Sail, but You Became the Ruler of the Deep Sea?

"Nothing."

Jani said with a smile: "I just want to ask, have you collected the money you owe the Duke?"

Xia En raised his eyebrows: "Whether I got it together or not, it doesn't seem to have anything to do with you, right?"

"Why doesn't it matter?"

Jani said righteously: "Your father and I have some friendship at least."

"If the gap is not big, I can buy the Black Swan. It's better than giving the people and the ship to the Duke."

Xia En understood immediately, and he still fell in love with his boat!

So he said coldly: "Of course I have a way to pay off the money I owe, so I won't bother you."

"hehe……"

Jani was not surprised. He sneered and looked back at the crew on the deck: "Renate, it seems that your former captain does not appreciate your kindness very much."

"As you can see, I gave him a chance, but he refused."

"Renate?"

Shane followed his gaze.

This crew member is none other than the bearded Renate, who was the first mate on the Black Swan.

Sensing Xia En's gaze, Renate's eyes subconsciously dodge.

Jani showed a proud smile: "Yes, Renate is already the second mate on my ship."

"Captain Xia En, don't be too angry. When people go to higher places, water flows to lower places. This is human nature."

Shane looked strange.

To be honest, instead of being angry, he actually wanted to laugh.

Because he suddenly felt that the plot seemed a bit familiar. Isn't this the scene where Huang Mao brought his girlfriend who was driven away by a cow to show off in front of the suffering master?

The only difference is that he is not familiar with this "girlfriend" at all, so his heart naturally has no fluctuations.

"Oh, is there nothing else?"

"Then I'll leave first."

Seeing that Renate might have good intentions, Xia En was too lazy to argue with them and prepared to sail into the harbor.

"Captain Shane!"

Renate couldn't help but stopped him: "Do you want to stop thinking about it? Being the Duke's male favorite will really kill you!"

Obviously, he had not considered the possibility of Xia En paying off his debt at all, so he came up with this strategy and wanted to find someone to buy the Black Swan to help Xia En tide over the difficulties.

However, for Xia En now, this kindness is obviously a bit redundant.

"Don't think about it anymore."

Shane said calmly: "Renate, since you have become Captain Jani's second mate, you should completely distance yourself from the Black Swan and stop meddling in my business in the future."

After that, he ignored the two people on the neighboring ship and controlled the Black Swan to leave.

Looking at his back, Renate was a little annoyed.

He was obviously thinking about Xia En, so even if he didn't appreciate it, he still wanted to draw a clear line with himself?

"Captain Shane is young and energetic. Only after he has suffered a lot will he understand how good you are, Renate."

Jani patted Renate on the shoulder and gloated.

"But the premise is that he must survive the favor of the Duke."

…

…

Duke Island is neither small nor big.

In less than an hour, the news of the Black Swan's return to the island spread to the ears of interested people.

Most people's attitude towards this was that they were waiting to see Shane's joke.

It was agreed that the company would turn around with the help of the Duke's funds, but it only took half a month for it to return home.

For many ships, the time to go to sea can be as short as one month or as long as half a year.

How can I make hundreds of silver snake coins in half a month?

Many people thought that it was probably because Xia En encountered some setbacks at sea again that he simply gave up his struggle, returned to the island early, and honestly became the Duke's male favorite.

The old butler Sage Nova thought so too.

He slowly packed his suit, took a few of his men with him, and prepared to take over the Black Swan.

There was no need for him to do this little thing himself, but in order to avoid long nights and many dreams, the old housekeeper decided to personally come forward and send Xia En to the Duke's bed tonight.

However, when I walked to the dock near the Black Swan.

The old housekeeper found that the surrounding atmosphere seemed a bit strange.

The sailors on the dock were surrounding the Black Swan, looking curiously at the deck.

"Um?"

The old butler frowned slightly, and happened to see the black man Jason nearby, so he stepped forward to grab him and asked.

"What happened?"

Jason also had a bit of confusion on his face: "I heard someone say that Xia En seems to have... returned home with a full load?"

"The deck is filled with his loot."

"???"

The old housekeeper opened his eyes slightly and subconsciously denied: "How is it possible?"

"Just him and Joey who is afraid of water?"

Jason hurriedly responded: "Yes, I was wondering about it too! If you ask me, it's probably Xia En who made it up to scare people!"

The old housekeeper calmed down and asked, "What about Mr. Xia En?"

"It seems to have gone to the Federal Inspectorate."

"Federal Inspectorate?"

The old butler's frown deepened.

Every island that is included in the Seven Seas Federation will have a branch of the Federal Supervisory Bureau. The purpose is to supervise and check and balance the island's governors, who have a rather transcendent status.

Theoretically speaking, the federal supervisory chief and the executive should have an equal relationship.

Even the old butler, a close confidant of Duke Nova, cannot break into it without permission and dispatch the personnel of the Supervision Bureau.

"Do you want to go there to delay?"

As soon as the old housekeeper came up with this idea, he saw Xia En and two men, one tall and one short, walking over from a short distance away.

"Mr. Hoover from the Inspectorate?"

"Becas from the Chamber of Commerce! Why are they here?"

There were low exclamations from the crowd.

Immediately, people automatically separated a road, allowing three people to pass.

Both of these two people are considered important people on Duke Island, and they rarely appear in places like the dock.

The former is scary enough just by the name of the Supervisory Bureau, and the latter is no ordinary person either.

On the Duke's Island, in addition to the Inspectorate, there is another organization that is not under the control of the Duke.

That is the [Apocalypse Chamber of Commerce] across the seven seas!

It is said that the Apocalypse Chamber of Commerce has a longer history than the Seven Seas Federation, and can even be traced back to the era before the "Great Flood".

Today, the Apocalypse Chamber of Commerce has penetrated into every aspect of people's lives and has become an integral part of the Federation.

Xia En's previous supplier was also a member of Tianqi Chamber of Commerce.

"Xia En actually invited these two here?"

"What does he want to do?"

After hesitating for a moment, the old housekeeper took the initiative to greet him, took off his hat and greeted him.

"Mr. Hoover, Mr. Beccas, good day."

"Good day, Butler Sage."

The tall and thin Hoover replied nonchalantly, while the fat Becas next to him just nodded.

This cold attitude made the old housekeeper's heart skip a beat, and he had an ominous premonition.

Xia En glanced at the old housekeeper, but pretended not to see him and said calmly.

"Both of you, please board the ship."

Hoover looked at the young captain and reminded: "I don't need to say more about the consequences of teasing an inspector, right?"

Becas wiped the sweat with a silk scarf and said with a smile: "I hope the big business you talk about will not disappoint me."

Xia En smiled lightly: "Please rest assured."

Then, they walked to the deck of the Black Swan together.

The old housekeeper and Jason hurriedly followed. Xia En glanced at them but did not stop them.

As soon as they walked onto the deck, their eyes suddenly widened...
