Chapter 71 70: Sharing the spoils (Seeking follow-up reading, monthly ticket)
A gloomy atmosphere spread throughout the small captain's room, like the low pressure before a storm, making it difficult for everyone to breathe.
No one spoke for five minutes, and everyone was sweating, soaking their clothes.
Even the strongest bow-wielding man among them was like this. In fact, his hand was shaking slightly because he was holding the bow so tightly.
Finally, Luo Yi smiled, and his smile was very relaxed and satisfied.
"Very good, very good. No one spoke, which means there are no real fools among you!"
"At least there aren't any idiots who would risk their lives for money!"
As soon as he opened his mouth, the atmosphere suddenly relaxed, tense expressions relaxed, and some people felt like they were about to faint.
It was the people next to them who supported them and helped them keep their balance.
Luo Yi ignored their state and continued: "Since no one is a fool, you should have some guesses.
For example, we found the wreckage of the Bloody Mary, and this group of pirates just attacked the city of Auckland a few days ago.
So, those boxes and barrels I asked you to move should be filled with treasures!"
"These things have probably been going through your minds for days. No one dares to say it, but you must be thinking this way in your heart."
"Today, I can tell you clearly that what you thought was correct, there are indeed traces of pirates left there.
Although it has not been calculated yet, it is definitely a huge amount of wealth that you cannot imagine."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone could no longer suppress their inner restlessness. The tiny noises started from whispers and then became louder and louder.
This time, Luo Yi did not stop it and allowed the riot to spread.
However, there were a few calm people who looked at Luo Yi with strange eyes.
For example, the big man with the bow.
Or take Maruna Márquez.
They really don't understand what Luo Yi wants to do now. If he doesn't want to share the 30% of the money, why shouldn't he talk about these things anymore?
Finally, when the commotion subsided, Luo Yi sneered, "I can give you 30% of the money, but if you take it, your families will be ruined within a month.
Not only you, but also your families, will encounter various accidents and everyone will die!"
This sentence caused the cabin to fall into complete silence, and Luo Yi added: "So, what I said before is invalid.
But after all, we've been through life and death together for so many days, so I will still give you the compensation you deserve."
Luo Yi turned around and pulled a box out. He opened the lid and saw a yellow and silver light coming into everyone's sight.
Luo Yi lifted the box with force again, and with a loud crash, the box fell over, and the Golden Tiel and Silver Tiel were scattered all over the ground, rolling everywhere.
"This chest of money is for you, for everyone, even the dead sailors, mercenaries, and detectives.
They must all be guaranteed a share and handed over to their loved ones."
"Maruna?"
"exist!"
Maruna almost uttered a cry of shock, and everyone's gazes gathered around him, making him unconsciously nervous.
"You are responsible for counting and distributing this money. It is up to you to decide how much each person can and should take."
As he spoke, Luo Yi pointed to the bow-wielding man and the two most prestigious sailors, saying, "Help with the counting, distribution, and supervision!"
"As for the commission you deserve for going out to sea, that's a matter between you and Maruna. You can ask him for it."
As soon as he said this, all the restlessness, anger, and even resentment he had just felt disappeared.
Only the gold and silver on the earth caught their eyes and made them dizzy.
Of course, there are also people with sad faces, such as Maruna Marquez.
This time, he lost everything.
Luo Yi seemed to know what he was thinking. He pulled out another box and said, "Maruna, don't look so sad. I'll give this back to you!"
Maruna was stunned. Looking at the box, he felt it was very familiar. The next second, his lips trembled.
"Really, really give it to me?"
Luo Yi chuckled: "It's yours, so I'll give it to you!"
It was the box where Maruna paid the ransom, and inside it was one thousand gold tyres.
At this moment, Maruna also became alert and felt that Luo Yi was really very righteous.
Just when he was getting excited, Maruna heard Roy speak again.
"One last thing, you're going to meet a lot of people over a long period of time.
They might buy you drinks, give you silver, or even beat you or threaten you...
They will use every possible means to extract the details of this redemption trip.
And what I hope for is..."
Maruna quickly responded, "Mr. Roy, don't worry, we won't say anything. We'll keep it a secret!"
Luo Yi glanced at Maruna and saw his determined expression, then looked at the others and saw them nodding their heads rapidly.
Keluoyi grinned and said, “No, what I mean is, if they give you money, you should keep it, but if they treat you to a drink, you should not only drink it but also take it.
As for the questions they ask?"
"Just be honest. You can tell me everything you've seen, experienced, and seen. There's no need to hide anything!"
"What……"
At this moment, everyone present was stunned. Looking at Luo Yi again, he just smiled brightly!
…
A moment later,
Loy came out of the captain's room and led Oliveira to the deck. He stood at the bow again and watched the sunset as the world gradually sank into the darkest moment.
Roy didn't turn around, but he could clearly feel Oliveira's gaze, which was burning and intense, as if it were real.
He twisted his body unnaturally. Although he didn't turn around, his voice drifted away: "Teacher Oliveira, I feel uncomfortable when you look at me like this."
Oliveira blinked his pale grey eyes and sparingly uttered three words: "Good trick!"
"It's nothing but coercion and inducement, it's nothing!"
Luo Yi said this and thought so. Even now, although he was smiling, he didn't look very proud.
Oliveira said, "Many nobles can't even do this."
After a pause, he asked again: "But why is it so?"
"This windfall is too big, not to mention those sailors, even if we hold it, it would be hot to the touch.
Therefore, we must use some means!"
After a slight pause, Luo Yi continued, "The best way is to spread the word widely, letting everyone know so that some people won't be able to take action."
Oliveira frowned slightly, then slowly shook his head: "I'm afraid it's not enough!"
"So, we should not only be high-profile, but also learn to spend money, spend lavishly, and let others benefit from it!"
"Baron Marquis, Lord Dorji, although we don't want to admit it, we are still unable to do anything to these two.
Therefore, we still have to find a way to make them afraid to act rashly!"
"Just do as you see fit."
"Haha, teacher, just watch me do it."
Luo Yi's loud laughter could be heard from far away, and then a sound as thin as a mosquito's hum fell into Oliveira's ears.
"I'll have to trouble the teacher to make a trip tonight!"
"You tell me, I'll do it!"
…
Although they arrived at Fisherman's Harbor, the Percinus simply dropped anchor there that night and had no intention of going ashore.
Because dividing the money is also a big project!
Since Luo Yi said that everyone will get a share, then naturally everyone will benefit.
So, they had to count the money in the box first to determine how much was in it.
Maruna had experience in this matter. He found a lot of white paper, separated the gold, silver and copper coins, and then packed them in groups of ten.
This way, it is not only convenient for statistics, but also for classification.
Secondly, they had to count the number of people, living and dead, all of them had to be counted, every person had to have one.
In the end, everyone gets a different amount of money.
For example, the Bauhinia Mercenary Group is the main fighting force of this trip. They have fought many battles along the way and made great contributions.
Another example is the twin detectives. Although they had some conflicts at the beginning, in the final battle, they destroyed the multi-barreled crossbow and saved everyone.
If they all get the same amount, they naturally won't be happy about that. So, they have to get more and the sailors have to get less, and this has to be negotiated to reach a fixed amount.
Maruna Marquez originally thought that this should not be a difficult task, but in fact, since Roy had the idea, they had to be busy all night.
The oil lamp in the captain's room was on all night, and no one came out until dawn the next day.
They all looked a little tired, with bloodshot eyes, but their excitement was visible to the naked eye.
When they looked at Luo Yi again, there was a look of awe in their eyes, they were truly respectful and fearful!
However, what they didn’t expect was that when they drove the ship to the port, the scene that greeted them was so grand that it was beyond their imagination!
People die for money and birds die for food. Unless you are strong, having too much money will be a disaster!
Therefore, I have to provide the protagonist with start-up capital, and also find a way to keep it stable!
