Bruce looked at his subordinates’ report, slapped the table, and stood up.

“They’re just ten kilometers away?”

“Yes, Captain, our men saw it with their own eyes. There is also a large ship parked at the coastline ten kilometers away. Whenever Ye Ling makes a move, he will be supported by a warship. The captain is Major Mu Yuan from Country A. Hence, rumors have spread that Ye Ling’s identity is very special, and he is probably related to the army. No one can guess what role he plays. Otherwise, it would be impossible for a destroyer to obey his command. There is no sign of a destroyer on the sea yet. However, as a precautionary measure, we must not conduct the exchange at sea.”

“I never revealed our location. How did Ye Ling know where we are? Who revealed their identity? Even if he borrowed Black Rose’s forces, it is impossible for him to locate our position in such a short period of time.”

He even avoided Black Rose’s investigative methods on purpose and released an interference signal. Normally, Ye Ling could not let the Black Rose investigate for his private matters. Did he ignore Black Rose’s ban?

“Captain, since their men have already come, they probably brought Yang Ping along as well. Let’s trade on the island. We have always cooperated with the army on the island. We can negotiate with them, and as long as we give them enough benefits, they will help. Even a powerful dragon cannot crush a snake in its old haunts. If we conduct the exchange at sea, we will definitely be disadvantaged with Mu Yuan there.”

“Mu Yuan, Mu Yuan…” Bruce gritted his teeth. “Him again. If he lands into my hands one day, I will definitely let him regret it.”

He calmed down quickly. “Go and look for the person in charge. We will borrow the local army.”

“Yes!”

There was no government on the island, but there was an army. This was a legacy left behind by the pirate culture. In the early twentieth century, when pirates ran rampant, it was not easy for them to sell the stolen treasure. Most of them utilized the people on the island to traffic the goods to all corners of the world. Hence, this gave rise to many smuggling businessmen. Every businessman would raise an army to prevent being looted. As this money came from unknown sources, they could not handle it even if they were robbed. Slowly, this developed to form many armies.
