"The general said that only you are allowed to go up. You are not allowed to bring anyone else with you."
The soldier saw through Ouyang Jue's intentions, but they had their own rules here. In order to ensure the safety of the general, they couldn't let everyone go, but they didn't expect Ouyang Jue to not let them go at all. If the soldier didn't allow Ning Caier to go, the general would also be gone.
"Mr. Ouyang!"
The soldier still wanted to argue, but no one here had ever dared to resist. Suddenly, he heard a loud roar from upstairs, "Scram to the side, Mr. Ouyang doesn't have any part in your speech!"
The general who was originally waiting upstairs suddenly walked down, his face had quite a bit of messy stubble, it looked extremely messy, but Ouyang Jue recognized the thing on his waist, it was actually two hand grenades, the power was actually enough to blow up the entire room. Thus, he protected Ning Caier behind him and retreated two steps. It seemed that these people truly planned to make their move. Unexpectedly, his body was covered in such a destructive thing.
"Mr. Ouyang, I'm sorry, we did not discover you here today, but please believe in my sincerity."
The general spoke fluent English, he looked at Ouyang Jue and revealed a very kind smile, but behind the kind smile, there was shining an extremely greedy light. The shop assistant once said that the people here didn't hesitate to fight for the dock's resources, their goal was only to save the huge profit that the pier would produce. Now that a fat sheep like Ouyang Jue had appeared in front of them, how could they just let it go so easily?
However, the general did not talk about money with Ouyang Jue immediately. Instead, he took out a video from his bosom for Ouyang Jue to watch before considering whether to cooperate with them. This video involved a lot of lives, so it was enough for him to trade it for a good price.
Ouyang Jue was shocked just by a glance at the video. He saw that the people that were left at the port all collectively attacked their fishing boat, tying up the remaining crew members on the boat, because of the resistance of the crew members. There was a lot of blood on the deck, showing that they had gone through a fierce battle.
Ouyang Jue did not expect the people here to be so cruel. Those ships that looked like normal merchant ships were actually robbers who killed people and looted goods.
Ouyang Jue was not sure if this was related to the general, but such a cruel scene made him unable to suppress the anger in his heart. He held the gun up to the general's forehead.
"You actually dare to touch my people. Is this what you meant by 'sincerity'?"
Ouyang Jue was extremely furious, he almost wanted to smash this man's head with a spear, and this scene was also seen by the Yu Di, he watched helplessly as his own clansmen were humiliated and slaughtered in such a manner, and was naturally unable to contain his anger. At that time, he shouted at the door, saying that he wanted to return to the dock and settle the score with those people.
Their race had lived in peace for hundreds of years. They had barely encountered any war on that small island, but that did not mean that they could be easily bullied. Even if they had to use all their strength, they would still fight back.
"Don't go over there, you can't beat them!" When Ouyang Jue heard Yu Di say this, he immediately stopped them. They only had brute force, but no weapons. Ouyang Jue knew that these people were not here for the fishing boat.
His momentary carelessness had caused that fishing boat to suffer irreparable damage. Now, he couldn't let Yu Di and the rest go and die.
"Ouyang, I must save them!" Yu Di actually gave Ouyang Jue a push. He was the leader of this race, and it was he who had initially decided to lead everyone to find a new world to allow his clansmen a good life. However, he did not expect this new world to be filled with massacres other than convenience. It was his fault, and now he had to correct it.
"Of course we have to save him, but we can't sacrifice ourselves endlessly." Ouyang Jue did not know where this island that the Yu Di resided on, but he was certain that there were many family members waiting for him at the top of the island. If all of them died here, then who would take care of their family members at the island in the future?
Yu Di didn't understand Ouyang Jue's words, but he could feel that he was as angry as him, so he temporarily stood in his original position to see how Ouyang Jue was going to fight in this battle.
"Mr. Ouyang, you are very smart. You also made the right choice."
No matter how strong one's fist was, it would be impossible for one person to block a bullet. Therefore, he could only choose to cooperate with Ouyang Jue and use his own troops to rescue those people on the fishing boat.
"Mr. Ouyang, we know that you are very rich, if you want to save these people on the ship, it will not be difficult, but I can send out my army to ensure their safety, and you won't have to pay a single cent to have me send you back to your family, it's just that I want double the reward, I believe this bit of money is not a problem for you and your family."
He wanted ten million dollars. With that money, he could guarantee that he would be able to snatch the fishing boat and the people on the boat back, and could also guarantee Ouyang Jue's safety before his family came to pick him up.
"Mr. Ouyang, I'm afraid you don't know the rules of the bounty website, so even if you find the corpse, you will still get half of the bounty." Mr. Ouyang, I'm afraid you won't know the rules of the bounty website, that means if you find the corpse, you will get half of the bounty.
This self-proclaimed general explained to Ouyang Jue the current situation. If Ouyang Jue returned to the port, he was definitely dead, and out of all the great powers, he was the one who had the most armed forces. Furthermore, he was the one in charge of the port and the dock, so only he could save Ouyang Jue.
"If I die here, all the rewards will become bounties. I'm afraid my family will spend tens of millions of dollars to capture my murderer. If those people dare to do so, then they must be prepared to run for their lives."
Ouyang Jue did not want to be completely controlled by this general, so he deliberately made up an order to kill. If he was killed, the trouble here would be even worse, there were people who saved people for rewards, and there were also people who killed people for rewards.
"Of course, Mr. Ouyang's life is very valuable, so there's no need for you to lose your life over such a small amount of money."
The general bargained with Ouyang Jue over there, and in the end, the deal was for the price of eight million dollars. Ouyang Jue knew that this general's actions were no different from a prisoner's redemption, but he had no way of resisting, because he couldn't risk the lives of so many people.
Using their equipment to fight against the armed civilians was a piece of cake. Right after their off-road vehicles and mortars stopped at the pier, the people who had occupied the fishing boats were immediately dumbfounded, they had been guarding the boat to wait for Ouyang Jue to return and kill him. They did not expect that the army they were waiting for was actually the army here.
They knew how vicious these troops were. They had blown up this place several times before in order to obtain resources for the dock, but now they had brought out enough weapons to flatten all their ships. They also knew that this general was very inhumane.
"Put down your weapons or we will attack."
The general stood behind a group of soldiers and shouted at the people on the boat while controlling all the cargo ships in the port. If they were to compare this place to robbers, no one could compare to the garrison troops like them. Not long after, cries of grief could be heard on the dock because not only did the people who robbed the fishing boats not get anything, they themselves were robbed. The goods they lost were mostly because they had to continue working hard for their entire lives. As a result, these people kept kneeling down and wailing in pain, not caring about Yu Di's fishing boat at all.
"So it turns out that these people are the best at doing business. They can simply eat both internally and externally."
Ouyang Jue and Ning Caier hid in the bookstore in the city. The general did not allow them to head there together, in case of accidental injuries, causing his rich master's life to be lost here. However, he had left the tablet computer so that Ouyang Jue could see the situation over there at any time.
Ouyang Jue had imagined many things and was worried that these people would harm the crew members of the ship.
However, he did not expect that this battle would not even start, the general only brought his soldiers to walk around and settle everything. Not only did he earn eight million dollars from him, he had even conveniently bought all the goods on the dock.
The crew of the fishing boat had only suffered some injuries but no casualties. This was simply the fortune of being unlucky, since when Ouyang Jue and Ning Caier returned to the fishing boat to inspect everyone thoroughly, only after ensuring that they were all safe and sound did they feel at ease.
After this incident, the people on the dock no longer dared to act rashly. They felt sorry for their goods, but they didn't dare to resist at all. They could only bring the empty boat along with them.
Originally, they had to queue up to enter the harbor, but now that it was deserted. Normally, these people would stay here for a few days to rectify the situation, but now they would rather work day and night to go to the next dock than stay here.
This made the entire city instantly quieten down. The tavern and tavern that was usually full became deserted as Ouyang Jue arranged a place for the Yu Di and the others to stay and the doctor, and the general who helped them encircled the entire area, with the aim of ensuring their safety. The other powers definitely knew that Ouyang Jue was here, so they had to ensure that they had the most advantageous bargaining chip in their hands.
However, Yu Di had a new perspective on this matter, and that was that he didn't want any new world anymore. He understood Ouyang Jue's intentions and hoped that they could negotiate with the people outside to rebuild the island. However, if the outside world wanted to use force to rob and plunder, he would be willing to never have come into contact with such a world in his entire life. As the leader of a race, he absolutely could not allow his race to become like this.
