"According to him, this person is very likely a high-ranking merchant who came from the border of Deslanca to trade."
After the first mate finished speaking, he secretly glanced at the pirate king's unfinished cigar, a hint of anticipation flickering in his eyes.
"Okay, I understand."
The pirate king casually tossed a cigar to his first mate, who was eagerly awaiting it like a dog.
The latter thanked him repeatedly, took a puff of his cigar, and inexplicably felt that tonight was indeed a bit elegant, his mind already wandering off to heavenly bliss in the white smoke.
The Pirate King turned around, his thoughts running in a way that defied his feigned rudeness.
The reason that person was saved was because of his attire at the time; even a small item he casually revealed was a huge sum of money.
