Viscount Vader is thirty-four years old this year. Considering that the average age in the Calabis Sea is no more than forty years old, he is already old.

At this age, Viscount Vidal, who still only has the false name of a Viscount but is actually just a businessman, is quite anxious.

You must know that his fathers and ancestors, at his age, had already held the power of life and death over the entire archipelago, and had a fleet of ships under his command. They were real viscounts and big shots, not fake ones.

If that incident hadn't happened that year, everything wouldn't have turned out like this.

He missed those far-off glory so much that he dreamed of returning to the Sunflower Islands.

Unfortunately, it is no longer possible. The Sunflower Islands have long since become an unsurvivable ruin.

He could only wear fine clothes here, drink afternoon tea, and pretend to have an aristocratic accent.

Just when Viscount Vida was nestling in the yard of his home, lying on a lounge chair, drinking afternoon tea, and enjoying the rare sunshine in the cold windy month.

One of his men walked in from outside in a hurry, and because he was in a hurry, the footsteps were inevitably loud.

This made Viscount Vida, who always pays attention to aristocratic manners, frown. Without him having to speak, his old butler, an old man who was well versed in the etiquette of the Reims court, had scolded him on his behalf: "In a hurry, like

What does it look like! This is the Vida mansion!"

"It's... I'm sorry, Steward Farr, but I really have urgent news to inform the Viscount." His subordinates were frightened, and after speaking, they glanced at Viscount Vader, who was lying on the recliner with his eyes closed, as if he was asleep.

"Let's talk." Viscount Vida finally opened his eyes and yawned, but he was not angry. He pays attention to manners and etiquette and will not reveal his emotions casually.

"That's it, Lord Viscount, I just heard the news..." The subordinate lowered his voice and told what he had heard today.

In fact, the cause of the whole thing started yesterday, that is, the person Viscount Vader secretly sent to disturb the Estan family was driven back, saying that he was the person who defeated Blackbeard, and threatened to

The Estan family's wage arrears issue will definitely be resolved within three days.

This made Viscount Vader's people feel uneasy, and also made Viscount Vader feel that his plan had been disturbed, so he immediately sent people to investigate.

Now, the investigation is almost complete. The group of people who suddenly intervened did indeed come from the sea. The ship they found did seem to be the golden ship that Blackbeard lost to in the rumors some time ago.

Boat.

As for the issue of unpaid wages, it seems that it has indeed been resolved by the other party.

Originally, no one in Leuthe was willing to lend money to the Eystein family, including the only bank on the island, the Leuthe Bank founded by the Marquis of Sitiens, and those wealthy businessmen, who had long been

Viscount Vida has established a relationship.

However, at noon today, Rioco, a big businessman who had just returned from Nassau and the spokesperson of the famous pirate Captain Flint, suddenly began to transfer large amounts of funds to the Estan family.

If nothing else goes wrong, the Estan family's troubles will be completely resolved in the afternoon.

If this is the case, wouldn't it mean that their long-term plan has been ruined?

After listening to all the information, Viscount Vida nodded, still maintaining a good demeanor, and said: "I understand, you go and rest first. Thank you for your hard work, Dani."

"But..." Dani was stunned for a moment, and suddenly became a little anxious. Why is the Viscount not anxious? This is not possible.

"Go and rest, I understand." Viscount Vida still said.

Dani had no choice but to resign. Although he still wanted to say something, he calmed down a little when he thought of Viscount Vader's methods and the things he had done before.

The Viscount never does anything he is unsure of, and he almost never makes a mistake.

This time, there will be no exception, right?

After Dani left, Viscount Vader closed his eyes again, looking calm and composed. After a while, he said: "I didn't expect Rio to want to take a trip into this muddy water. It seems that Flint is really serious." He can't come back, he's anxious, what a fool, isn't this clearly telling everyone that his backer is gone?"

"Go and tell those friends that the money we will share will be an extra share." After a pause, he said to the butler Farr next to him.

Farr took the order and left.

Vida opened his eyes again and looked at the rare clear sky today. There was no way back to the Sunflower Islands, but the West Sea was still very big.

————————

Talina was really overjoyed for Rioco's sudden helping hand. She had no idea how Li Jiu did it. After being excited, she only had time to say: "After this crisis is over, the Estan family will I will definitely repay you."

He took the people out in a hurry.

Then Li Jiu suddenly realized that he seemed to feel a little leisurely all of a sudden.

After chatting with Sophie for a while, he planned to go back to Tut.

After all, he had been out for almost half a month, so he only went back once, and hurriedly picked up an alchemy cannon and came back without caring about Tut's internal affairs. As a lord, he was really too big-hearted.

As for Innsmouth, he basically didn't have much control over it, and he didn't know how Shell Island was developing.

When he thought of this, Li Jiu couldn't sit still, and immediately returned to the Gu Ruide.

It turned out that Toller was actually on the ship, seemingly just watching and never leaving, while the other crew members basically went down to relax.

Li Jiu couldn't help but sigh, Torle was a true loyal minister after all, and he felt a little moved in his heart. He also thought that he had not really had a good conversation with this loyal minister during this period, so he simply took him with him and sat down. The phase transfer magic circle returned to Tut.

In an instant, he returned to Tut from Leuthe. The feeling of intertwining time and space gave Li Jiu an inexplicable illusion of weightlessness.

Tut's sunlight seemed to be even more dazzling. It came through the window and made people feel warm all over. However, the secret room where the phase transfer magic array was arranged had not been cleaned for a long time. It had accumulated a lot of dust. Under the sunlight, It's very conspicuous.

Li Jiu almost sneezed, but after barely holding back, he took Toller to the balcony outside, overlooking the entire Tut Harbor from the balcony.

Tut Harbor has returned to its former tranquility, and there is no sign of the bloody storm that it experienced not long ago.

Li Jiu stood on the balcony for a while and then said to Toller, "Toller, the Falk family is back."

Toller seemed to understand the meaning of this sentence, but did not speak. He just nodded wordlessly and straightened his back even more.
