Chapter 108 - Another Deal (2/2)

The scene was extremely awkward. Jack Sparrow also realized that his sense of humor seemed to be unable to deal with this situation, so he simply gave up on it. He spread his hands and said, “All right, I’m here to make a deal with you!”

After hearing this, Roy finally opened his mouth. He slowly sat up and raised his chin to gesture at Jack Sparrow. “Oh? What deal?”

Jack Sparrow took two small steps, came to Roy’s seat, and whispered, “I heard that you were looking for a group of pirates, and one of them is missing an ear, right?”

“Hmm? Do you know who they are?” Cassandra could not help but interrupt and ask when she heard this.

“Ma’am, I don’t know!” Jack Sparrow smiled charmingly and said, “But I can help you find them.”

“You’re lying!” Cassandra became angry. “You don’t even know who they are, so how can you find them?”

However, after hearing Jack Sparrow’s words, Roy had a flash of inspiration and immediately reacted.

Compass! What Jack Sparrow was referring to was his compass that could point in the direction of what he was looking for.

As expected, Jack Sparrow took out a small square box from his arms and opened it to reveal the needle inside. He shook the compass and said to Cassandra, “Ma’am, sometimes I don’t know who the other party is, and I don’t know where they are. This compass has a magical power. When you hold it, it can follow what you wish for the most in your heart and then point out the direction for you to reach it!”

Roy suddenly reached out and snatched the compass from his hand.

Roy held the compass and carefully sensed the magic power in it. He found that the weak magic power in the compass was very similar to the magic power in the Flying Dutchman. It was likely also a creation of the sea goddess Calypso!

Jack Sparrow had his compass snatched away by Roy, and he wanted to take it back, but he did not dare to, looking conflicted.

Roy looked at him expressionlessly and said, “Since this compass is so magical, aren’t you afraid that I’ll rob you?”

“No, no. You’d better not do that!” Jack Sparrow raised his right hand, and his fingers waved gently in an odd gesture as he said, “This compass can only be lent to others if I allow it. If you snatch it from me, it will be useless!”

Roy looked at the compass and found that the needle was spinning randomly.

But this was because Roy did not really want to go anywhere!

Roy knew that Jack Sparrow was lying. What did he mean by asking for his permission? Roy vaguely remembered that Barbossa and Lord Beckett seemed to have the idea of taking Jack Sparrow’s compass. If they really could not use it without permission, why would these people still have the intention of taking the compass?

However, although Roy knew that he had lied, he did not expose Jack Sparrow. After throwing the compass back to him, Roy asked, “Tell me! What do you want?”

“Great!” Jack Sparrow praised as he took the compass. “I want you to help me get my Black Pearl back!”

Roy was stunned when he heard this. This was because he heard a piece of information from this sentence. At this time, it seemed that Jack Sparrow had just been exiled not long ago!

Originally, Jack Sparrow should have gone to find Davy Jones and make a deal with him. Davy Jones helped him get back his Black Pearl. In exchange, Jack Sparrow had to work hard on the Flying Dutchman for a hundred years. However, after taking back the Black Pearl, Jack Sparrow went back on his word and avoided Davy Jones’s pursuit.

But now, it seemed that because of his appearance, Jack Sparrow had another target to trade with!

Perhaps it was because he heard that Roy and Cassandra were looking for a pirate crew, and Jack Sparrow had something like a mind compass. This made Jack Sparrow realize that the price he would have to pay to trade with Roy might be much less than the price he would have to pay to trade with Davy Jones.

Therefore, even though he knew that Roy was a demon, Jack Sparrow still came to him. He knew that making a deal with the demon was a huge risk, but in order to take back the Black Pearl, he did not care about anything.

Roy could understand what he was thinking. If Cassandra’s obsession was revenge, then Jack Sparrow’s obsession was his Black Pearl…

Should I accept this deal? Roy could not help but think. The sharp nails on his fingers gently tapped on the armrest of the frozen chair, making clear, rhythmic clanking sounds as he tapped on the ice. This sound made Jack Sparrow feel uncomfortable on the silent ship. Although Jack Sparrow felt goosebumps all over his body, he did not dare to speak and nervously waited for Roy’s reply…
