Beckett put away the silver coins in front of him, and then asked with a faint smile: "I just saw that you still have some questions about the list of wanted pirates. If you have anything, just say it."

James thought for a while and said, "Lord, your list is actually the list of the nine pirate kings, but I think there are more than these nine pirate kings that pose a threat to the world's oceans. There is one of the most important figures that you have ignored."

"Oh?" Beckett smiled, "Will Elizabeth?"

James shook his head, "Will is just a brainless blacksmith, Elizabeth... was just pushed out by fate. She is not considered a pirate."

This is of course to say good things about Will and Elizabeth.

Governor Swan, who had no expression on his face, couldn't help but look at Will at this moment.

Beckett asked, "Who do you think is the real threat?"

James said in a deep voice: "Xu Feng."

"…Xu Feng?" Beckett took a deep breath, "Well, that boy... he held me hostage and robbed my privateer permit. I have to say that he is indeed very cunning."

James said: "He and Xiaofeng are both Tangren. Once they join forces, the entire ocean will be in a drastic situation."

Beckett nodded slightly, "You are right in your analysis, Mather--"

"On." Mather quickly put down the knife and fork in his hand and stood attentively.

Beckett said lightly: "You go to Singapore, find Xiaofeng's nest, find a way to kill Xiaofeng, and get his token. As for the guy named Xu Feng, if you see him, you must wipe him out. His bounty is...100,000 gold coins."

Mother hesitated for a moment, "100,000 gold coins? Do you think too much of that kid? He is not even a captain now. At best, he is just a first mate. On our wanted list, all of them are captains, and those pirate captains not only own one ship!"

Beckett smiled faintly and said, "I know, that's why I offered him 100,000 gold coins. If that kid was the captain, he might be worth at least 500,000 gold coins."

Mather opened his mouth, "...Yes, I understand, I'll take people to Singapore now. Oh, right, there's another thing I have to report before leaving."

Beckett said, "Tell me."

Mather said: "Recently, the flying Dutchman is a little unobedient. Their sea beast has died. We are not very clear about the specific cause of death. However, David Jones did not obey our orders to capture the passing merchant ships, but instead sank them directly, as if venting anger."

Beckett frowned slightly, "Is there anyone from our Great British Empire in the merchant ship sunk by the flying Dutch?"

Mather said, "That's not."

Beckett sneered: "That means he is not crazy yet, he is just demonstrating to me. I have his heart, and it is really inappropriate that he dares to be so presumptuous. Tomorrow, we will take the Struggle to find David Jones. I want him to understand who is the real master of this ocean."

"yes!"

"Okay, please continue to have a meal, Commander James, you can eat something too," Beckett smiled.

"Yes." James mechanically forked a piece of Spanish ham slice.

...After the dinner, Beckett left with his men. In the huge restaurant, there were only servants busy packing the tableware, as well as James and Governor Swan who were sitting opposite each other.

James said with difficulty: "Governor Swan...I'm sorry."

Governor Swan said coldly: "You betray Elizabeth, this is not something that can be solved by sorry."

James hurriedly said, "No, I didn't betray Elizabeth. I was determined to pull her out of the pirates, but she was already in too deep."

Governor Swan said: "If you don't steal their David Jones Heart, you're not what you are today."

James said in pain: "I am not a saint, I have to save myself first."

Governor Swan sneered, "So, are you saved now? Are you the so-called rescue? Are you wearing appropriate clothes and eating delicious dishes? Will you wash your hands after you go home in the evening? Can the blood of the innocent people you hang today be washed away? Can you fall asleep while you are lying in bed? When you close your eyes, will the innocent people's faces appear before you?"

James was immediately speechless when questioned.

He has worked with Governor Swan for more than ten years. Governor Swan has always been harmonious. Although Governor Swan is indeed a little snobbish and vain, it is not a disadvantage at all. This is the first time James has seen Governor Swan speak so sharply.

"... Maybe, I shouldn't blame you." Governor Swan suddenly changed his mind and sighed heavily, "Didn't I surrender to Beckett for the sake of life? From this perspective, we are all the same pathetic, pitiful."

James' heart was filled with sorrow.

Governor Swan picked up a glass of undeserved wine, and drank it all, and a blush gradually appeared on his pale face.

James knew that he was never too drunk and rarely drank, so this time he drank unusual.

James had a vague premonition in his heart that Governor Swan had something to say to him.

Governor Swan poured himself a cup, but he was not in a hurry to drink it. Instead, he waved his hand to the maid who was packing up and said, "You guys go down first."

"Yes, Governor." The maids put down their work and bowed their knees to retreat.

Governor Swan pursed his lips, "Commander, no, James, have you ever thought about what to do next?"

James was stunned, then slowly shook his head.

He is now a walking zombie, and he will do whatever Beckett asks him to do.

He hated such days, but he was unable to change such days that he hated.

Governor Swan lowered his voice and said, "We cannot sit and wait for death like this. Beckett is just using us now and treating us as tools. Once the Caribbean and other seas are cleared, and once the Dongyindu Trading Company ruled the entire ocean's route, we will no longer have the value of use. What's more, Beckett's practice of clearing out pirates is even more evil than the pirates themselves! We can no longer let him continue to be rampant. I wrote a letter, intending to hand over to the Parliament when I return to London to impeach Lord Beckett! If you can join me, our success rate will be greatly improved."

James was stunned, "Governor Swan, I don't know... Is this right?"

Governor Swan said angrily: "James! You really disappoint me! Where did your blood go? Did you throw it into the Caribbean?"

James said in pain: "I finally climbed out of the pirates. I really don't want to live that kind of life anymore, I..."

James couldn't continue.

Governor Swan stood up and looked at James coldly, "You really disappoint me, Commander, fortunately my Elizabeth didn't choose you as his husband. If you want to inform us today, then do whatever you want."

After saying that, Governor Swan left.
