Pirate Kingship.

Chapter 198 Gold and Silver, the Sisters' First Meeting
three days later.

Torrent Fortress, Yucatan Island.

The first layer of the foundation of this large bastion has been laid, and the second layer of granite walls has begun to be laid, at a speed of one layer per day.

Byron, who was still supervising, looked at a group of [Bear Spirit Warriors] who were building at a speed comparable to that of large machinery, and he unexpectedly felt a little uneasy.

Miss Jacqueline, the Chameleon who had just joined his team, sat aside dejectedly, like a frost-bitten eggplant.

Even when many beautiful, wild, young indigenous girls with bear ears on their heads walked by, she didn't react at all.

It had been the whole day and she hadn't even whistled once.

Although their troubles were different, they were all related to the same person.

"Ugh!"

The cousins ​​looked at each other and sighed deeply at the same time.

Byron turned his head and looked in the direction of the Taiman Islands.

"Compared to me, Jacqueline's troubles are nothing.

So what if you are socially dead? Would you care about such a small matter with your face? "

At Bill and Tilly's engagement ceremony three days ago.

Jacqueline finally met the Flower of the North, the Mithril Dragon, and Countess Catherine of Greenville, who also went to Port Royal because of the order of the Kingmaker.

As the status of the international port gradually became more solid, Catherine's status as a lord naturally rose with the tide.

What's more, whether it is her stunning beauty, or the fact that she controls the financial power of the International Port and Pioneer Bank, and manages them in an orderly manner.

All of these make her one of the most dazzling pearls in the entire Bantaan Islands.

Even the legendary degree is rising rapidly. I am afraid that it will soon reach the critical point of 20 points to break the circle and obtain its own title special effect.

Unsurprisingly, she attracted the attention of guests from all over the world, even stealing most of the limelight from the protagonist, Miss Tilly.

Although, Tilly was not a popular person to begin with, any wind that blew towards her would knock her over hard.

There were many who wanted to get in touch with Catherine, and some even wanted to have sex with her.

Jacqueline is one of them, as she is a "chameleon" who becomes very lustful when she sees a beautiful girl.

When Catherine walked into the garden, it was the exclusive rest area for a group of noble ladies.

Jacqueline had just started to talk when Catherine, who had been warned by Byron in advance, tied her up with a mithril chain and hung her on a tree.

In full view.

There was a mithril ball gag stuffed in her mouth, and the outside of her lips was molded into the shape of a rose, which was gorgeous and beautiful.

This [Chameleon] in front of the [Mithril Dragon] seemed to be suppressed by its bloodline, without even a trace of resistance.

She was not put down until the end of the ceremony, and she still suffers from psychological trauma.

“Ahhh, my image in front of the beautiful girls is completely ruined, my life is dark and there is no light anymore.

Then the happiness of thousands of beautiful girls will be gone!"

It can be said that this stubborn guy has become socially dead in the upper circles of the entire Bantaan Islands, especially in the female circles.

I no longer have the courage to flirt with those aristocratic girls.

Whenever she thought of that scene, she wished she could use her toes to help Byron dig out a torrent fortress on the Yucatan Island.

Catherine also became a hero in high society.

Every male of appropriate age who mentions her will give her a thumbs up for her righteous act of punishing the "evil".

Byron's distress was also related to Catherine.

Because today is the day Violet arrives in Hong Kong!
But this Taiwanese princess doesn't play by the rules at all.

She used the excuse that the Inquisition was hunting them and that she had to create a new identity that had no connection with the past, and she refused to let Byron help her.

He said that he would appear in Rapids Fortress in an identity that he would never expect.

Byron couldn't help scratching his hair in distress.

“I’ve already told her about my family situation, and she’s also seen in the Lighthouse Weekly that I have a sister who is a [Mithril Dragon].

I also know what the attitude of a Gold Yuan Sequence [Mithril Knight] towards money is.

However, she disagreed with my proposal to divide Georgetown Port and Rapids Fort into two companies, saying that they were all one family and there was no need to divide them so clearly.

But I think Violet is actually reluctant to part with the huge amount of money in the Pioneer Bank in her sister's hands."

Everyone knows how staggering the investment in the heavy asset model is, how long the profit cycle is, and how huge the risks in the middle are.

Byron never revealed to Catherine the overall plan of Torrent Fortress and the existence of Violet, the super money-eating beast (Chapter 182).

My main concern was what if I really told Catherine the truth.

Let her see the bloody fiscal deficit after one, two, or three years of investing in heavy assets, and she will die accidentally.

But Violet, as an expert on spending money, has her own theories.

If basic industrial construction is to be implemented from paper, it will inevitably be a huge bottomless pit in the early stages.

It is not just about investing your own money, but also about finding strong investors when necessary, or even issuing bonds on a large scale.

With such a huge amount of funds, if they don't have the support of Catherine, the [Mithril Dragon], and they have to work secretly, their capital chain will break sooner or later.

If the financial officer can be mentally prepared in advance, it will probably be easier for him to cope with the situation when the time comes.

"So, where did she go? What kind of surprise is she going to give me? I just hope it doesn't turn out to be a shock."

The more I think about it, the more uncertain I feel.

I couldn't help but take out the [Echo Conch] and asked again:
"My dear lady, is everything really okay on your end?"

At this point, the distance between the two has been shortened to the level that allows instant communication.

On the other side, Violet held the conch between her shoulder and ear, acting like a seasoned expert. She said in a relaxed tone:
"Don't worry, don't worry, leave it to me.

No matter how promising a project is, it still requires certain skills to advance it. Aren't you just worried that your sister can't handle the excitement?
As it happens, as a researcher, the most powerful ability is not the ability to innovate, but the ability to attract sponsorship and research funds.

When you ordinary people spend money, it is called consumption, but when we [craftsmen] spend money, it is called investment!

How about we make a bet, if I succeed today, you will also call me good sister three times. Bye."

The girl then hung up the phone, raised her hand and tore off a "Talent Recruitment Order" posted in the most conspicuous place of the Great Thaiman Island International Port.

At this time, Violet secretly came to Georgetown Port alone without telling Byron.

Compared to the attire of the naval officer on the road, his appearance was completely different.

The only jewelry she wore were two small pearl earrings on her earlobes.

The face hidden by the strange object was intellectual and gentle, with a pair of round-framed tortoise-shell glasses on the bridge of her nose, which was very different from her previous image.

She was wearing a simple light blue lady's dress, a wide-brimmed white sun hat on her head, and carrying a wooden suitcase in her hands.

The sea breeze blew her skirt, revealing her crystal slender ankles and a pair of white stiletto high heels on her feet.

She is clearly a lady from a noble family with a scholarly temperament, which perfectly fits her identity as a "master craftsman".

You can't tell at all that her main job is actually a pirate commander and one of the culprits in the flare explosion. She is definitely a top dangerous element.

However, it may be that this new image is a little too weak and vulnerable.

Especially when she was alone and appeared in a place like the International Port where all kinds of people mixed together.

Even with the good public security forcibly suppressed by the "Storm Cloaks", some guys couldn't help but get restless.

A pirate who was drunk in broad daylight staggered over to the beautiful girl who looked like an oil painting.

He sniffed the sea breeze somewhat intoxicatedly and slowly extended a hand towards her.

"Come and have a drink with me, beautiful lady."

Behind him, probably his companions on the same boat, whistled excitedly.

Although they might not really dare to do anything out of line under the suppression of the [Golden Law], the mere act of bullying a weak girl was enough to make them extremely excited.

"Humph."

The artist immediately stopped smiling in front of Byron.

She didn't even move her body, but a fiery red spider emerged from her pocket, quickly crawled onto the pirate's neck and bit him hard.

He didn't even have time to scream before he turned into a blazing bonfire.

It only took a few breaths for it to be completely burned into a pile of ashes.

No matter how quiet Violet's appearance is, it cannot change her nature as the daughter of the Pirate King and a reserve "Witch of Disaster".

Unless she was in front of Byron, she didn't usually pay much attention to maintaining her ladylike image.

The cat-o-nine-tails, shooting, walking on the plank, keel-dragging and other horrifying punishments are just part of the daily life of this pirate princess.

At the same time, a powerful sense of spiritual oppression belonging to a third-level transcendent was released.

The drunk's companions had no intention of asking for punishment. Instead, they were awakened by the shock and apologized repeatedly:

"Ah! Your Excellency, I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

"We clean up Steve's ashes right away so your shoes won't get dirty."

As he spoke, he took off his coat and swept the path in front of Violet clean.

Obviously, everyone is equal before the law, but the third-level extraordinary people are more equal than them!

This is the fairness of the extraordinary world.

It is the greatest kindness for those in power not to actively oppress the weak. However, more people degenerate into "ancestors" after gaining power.

Violet did not move, but looked up in the direction of the Governor's Mansion, quietly waiting for something.

In fact, this place has become a "Dragon's Lair" exclusively for Catherine, the Regent.

In addition to the human intervention of the Storm Cloak, the legal network centered around the royal hound Vincent will also report any anomalies to her as soon as possible.

Snapped!
A golden spot of light appeared in front of Violet and instantly expanded into a lifelike projection of Catherine.

But he came here with the help of the power of the Regent.

Of course, the powerful lords can also do it with the help of the iron law of royal power, but it is not as easy as her.

The two outstanding girls, both of whom excelled and sparkled in their own fields, looked at each other.

A girl with flowing golden hair and eyes that seemed to be flowing with molten gold.

One has silver hair like snow, and blue eyes that sparkle like sapphires.

Katherine, 19, and Violet, 20, actually had birthdays within a few months of each other.

Catherine looked at the bookish scholar girl in front of her and frowned slightly:

"A strange third-level transcendent who has no faction affiliation?
May I ask what brings you to the International Port?

If they came to provoke her, she wouldn't mind having a fight to show her power as a lord.

Violet raised the recruitment order she had been holding and nodded.
“Miss [Mithril Dragon] Catherine, right?

You've come just in time.

I hear the Vanguard Colonial Trading Company is looking for talented people.

I want to get a job with you, and I also want to discuss a big deal with you."

"Big deal? How big?"

Violet smiled.
"For example, earn enough money to buy the entire Bantaan!"

bass--

Two solid golden lights flashed suddenly in Catherine's eyes like thunder.
