After listening to the information given by Elden, Evan immediately remembered some of the political issues involved in his previous chat with Doctor Furim and Byron.
The most core one is the split within the current ruling party Republican Party.
The current United States President Howard is considered a good person in the evaluation of these two bosses.
He was previously the Minister of War of the previous President Rolf, and was then elected as the new president by Old President Rolf.
According to the evaluation of these two big guys, this is a true elite with a very good personality and excellent legal qualities.
He can be considered a good administrator.
But he is not a qualified politician.
He is not good at public relations, nor can he mediate, nor does he care about the opinions of the people at the bottom.
Perhaps because of his obesity, he often dozed off during meetings outside.
More importantly, his true inner governing philosophy conflicted with his benefactor, old Rolf.
Although he has always been trusted by Old President, his inner background is a conservative political stance.
He dislikes radical change. He should have continued to implement Old President Rolf's restrictions and splits on various Financial Conglomerates and organizations, and finally took complete control.
But in the process of governing, it gradually transformed into the protection of these large groups.
This caused the two people who had previously cooperated with each other to completely fall out.
Rolf represents the progressive faction within Republican Party, and now Howard has completely led to the conservative faction within it.
Thinking of Evan here, suddenly an extremely important question came to Blink's mind, which even made him feel chilled.
"If Factory Owner and Financier represent the core symbol of strength, it is how much money he has."
"Then the core mark of Judge is how much power he has."
"Does this mean that the more power you have, the more power you have within gold?"
"Doesn't that mean? If the Beyonder system can really continue to spread upward, then the person with the strongest power in the entire United States and the person closest to God of Gold must be the president!"
Thinking of this, Evan lowered his head and looked at Elden.
"Do you think they are taking advantage of the divisions within the party to try to turn one of their own into the new president?"
Elden nodded seriously. "This possibility cannot be ruled out, my lord."
"Otherwise, their current actions would be a bit too abnormal."
Evan didn't say anything else, just said yes.
"I remember this message. You two did well."
Then the Ritual connection between both parties was cut off.
After being cut off, Evan opened his eyes and looked at the ceiling illuminated by the dim Kerosene Lamp.
"If they want to be president, they should surround themselves with as much wealth as possible."
"Why would they actively transport gold out of United States and smuggle it secretly?"
"I always feel like there's a bigger conspiracy here!"
Evan Thinking of this, a flash of light flashed in his eyes.
"I don't know if Capitalist and I are naturally incompatible, or if this is the inevitable fate of all Beyonder."
"Why do I always feel like I will be involved in these Capitalist conspiracies?"
After a brief thought, Evan closed his eyes, turned around and fell asleep.
In his daze, he heard a violent shaking.
What followed was a burst of shouting and yelling.
Boom!
Suddenly, accompanied by a loud noise, the sound of a large amount of metal being squeezed and deformed and water flowing sounded in Evan's ears.
He opened his eyes suddenly and sat up.
Although there was no problem with the cabin they were in.
But his keen ears have already heard that the cabin next door has been penetrated by some force, and a large amount of sea water is pouring in.
At this moment, the former first mate Matthias ran over in a panic and shouted.
"Quick! Everyone, get up and go to work in the next cabin!"
"Get the water out of it and help us seal the hole!"
Looking at these guys who were still awake, Matthias shouted threats at the top of his lungs.
"If you don't want to fucking die, then go work for me right now!"
Only then did everyone come back to their senses and knew that the ship had been attacked!
Then, these guys didn't even have time to put on their clothes and ran out in a huff.
Black Seagull, who was lying next to Evan, quickly put on the pair of Ironhead Shoes, with confusion on his face.
"What's going on? This is Smoke Gang's ship."
"Who the fuck is crazy? Dare to attack Smoke Gang's ship."
Black Seagull said, quickly left the cabin and ran out to help.
Evan was not in a hurry to follow him out, because he had clearly felt that the shells next door were unusual.
Although this broken ship looks precarious, it seems to be made of countless incomplete building blocks.
However, with the blessing of Beyonder's power, conventional artillery shells cannot blast the hull with Beyonder's power.
There is a very obvious and sharp Beyonder Characteristic in the shells attacked by the opponent.
This means that the ship that attacked this ship was also blessed by the power of Beyonder.
Thinking of this, Evan immediately put on Shadow Cloak, and his whole body disappeared into thin air.
Then go all the way up the stairs to the deck.
The time now is around 4 o'clock in the morning.
The red sun has risen above the sea level, illuminating a large area in red.
The surrounding Sea is still turbulent.
At the bow of the ship ahead, Juan was already standing there with two Beyonder, looking at the front with a solemn face.
On the constantly swaying sea, there are two ships in the distance, floating on the waves.
Compared with those two ships, Mist Messenger is just the difference between an old small fishing boat and a warship.
Each of those two ships was over 50 meters long.
The entire periphery is made of silver-gray steel.
Under the sun, no traces of rust were seen, and it exuded an extremely strong metallic cold tone.
Large-caliber artillery has been extended from the side of the ship.
Regardless of the materials or the overall style, this is not an ordinary merchant ship at all, but a true warship!
The two ships were about two kilometers apart and locked their artillery on Mist Messenger at the same time.
At the same time, there were three people standing on the decks of each of the two ships.
Judging from the Spirituality on these three people, all six of them are Expert Level Beyonder.
"Is this a regular army of which country? What special things are carried on this ship? Is it worth asking two warships and 6 Expert Level Beyonder to come and encircle and suppress it?"
Evan had curiosity in his eyes, and then moved closer to Juan.
Then I heard Juan and his confidants talking.
"Damn it, how did these fruit company ships get here?"
Juan looked ugly and couldn't help but curse.
Standing on his left is the silent middle-aged man with brown skin and hands covered with burn scars, Pedro.
On the other side was a young man with two scars on his face and a strong body.
This young man can quickly travel back and forth between the deck and the top of the mast at a brisk and strange speed.
He is the most effective lookout under Juan, named Lucio.
The vigorous young man had a trace of doubt on his face.
"This is Mona Island, this is Gray Lake Brotherhood's territory. They are just the company's armed ships, not the Authorities's police ships and warships. What are they doing here?"
Pedro, who was usually silent, took a deep breath in the sea breeze, and then murmured to himself.
"The water vapor is filled with blood and pain. There seems to be some battles and massacres over there."
Hearing this, Juan's face turned quite ugly.
"Damn it, what did these guys do? Why did they choose Gray Lake Brotherhood to attack Mona Island?"
Juan feels very uncomfortable now.
The entire ship went smoothly, and he didn't provoke anyone else.
Not far ahead is the lair that Black Seagull requested to go to.
Black Seagull and Evan will also disembark here.
Unexpectedly, while driving forward, I suddenly found that the entire Mona Island had been surrounded by the company's armed ships.
Before Juan could react, the opponent's artillery fired directly and hit the hull.
This made Juan feel angry and annoyed, but also helpless.
This broken ship of mine definitely cannot defeat the armed ships of those big companies.
He could only suffer the disadvantage of being dumb and retreat while repairing the ship.
But what shocked and surprised Juan was that even though he used semaphores to express his misunderstanding, he kept changing course and retreating.
The other party still didn't show any expression, but only launched an extremely tough attack.
Boom!
Following another shelling, the shells guided by the power of Beyonder hit the deck of Mist Messenger with great accuracy.
Juan screamed immediately.
I saw a large number of strange and blurry shadows appearing out of thin air, forming a barrier and barely blocking the shell.
As the cannonball fell into the seabed, Juan immediately used his Spirituality to shout loudly at the opponent.
"We have no ill intentions. If you are here to perform tasks, we can evacuate now. There is no need to fight you to the death."
After listening to Juan's words, Beyonder over there also transmitted his voice using Spirituality.
"South America Fruit United Company is here to perform a task."
"One of our transport ships was attacked by pirates near here and has sunk."
"We are salvaging the cargo from the sunken ship and encircling and suppressing the pirates."
"You have entered our warning area."
"Say your purpose, or we will sink you immediately."
Juan After hearing this, he cursed in his heart.
"Damn it, you said this is a warning area or a warning area? You don't even have any signs or notices!"
Of course, facing such a behemoth ship, Juan only dared to curse a few words in his heart.
So, he immediately said.
"I don't have any other purpose, I just went in the wrong direction."
"We are leaving the cordoned area immediately, please do not continue to fire."
Of course Juan would not be stupid enough to say that there were two people on his ship who wanted to go to Mona Island.
This almost means that they are actively helping these pirate gangs to transport people.
That will only invite more hostility and attacks.
But what Juan didn't expect was that the other party still didn't accept his timid answer.
"Vasquez from the Misty Gang, you have been running this waterway for many years. How can you still go in the wrong direction while driving this Ghost Ship?"
"Tell me your purpose immediately. What collusion do you have with this group of pirates?"
"Did you provide them with the coordinates and route of our ship?"
Hearing this, Juan suddenly wanted to cry without tears.
Although I have cooperated with Gray Lake Brotherhood before.
But that was already half a year ago.
I had no contact with the other party for more than half a year, so why did I suddenly become their accomplice in attacking merchant ships?
Juan shouted loudly immediately.
"It has nothing to do with me, I'm really just passing by."
But it's a pity that the other party doesn't want to hear him explain too much.
Boom boom boom!
Along with the continuous roar, the opponent's artillery continued to fire.
Juan immediately commanded the ghost on the ship, quickly turned the ship's bow, and planned to leave.
But he didn't expect that the other two ships actually caught up with them at a faster speed.
The lookout Lucio had climbed up the mast unknowingly, looking into the distance and shouting loudly.
"No, their speed is too fast. If this continues, we will be overtaken in another fifteen minutes."
Pedro looked into the distance and made a low voice.
"There is an air of conspiracy in the air. They are definitely not here for an ordinary shipwreck."
Juan was already so angry that he was cursing his mother. Facing the opponent's attack, he had no choice but to do anything.
Although there were several small cannons on his ship, the fire from the cannons simply tickled the opponent's deck.
And there is no precise guidance related to Beyonder, and the accuracy is even pitifully low.
At this time, turning sideways to fight back will only slow down the escape.
Now Juan has no other choice but to escape as quickly as possible.
Then I saw Juan spreading her arms, and then a woman wearing a black gauze skirt came out of the captain's cabin.
The woman couldn't see clearly, her whole body was wrapped in Black Veil.
But Evan instantly sensed that this woman was not a living person at all, but a dead person who had been dead for who knows how long!
The woman hugged Juan's back silently.
In an instant, the amount of Spirituality on Juan increased significantly.
In Evan's and Beyonder's vision, hundreds of resentful spirits appeared around the entire ship and on its deck.
They shouted signs from their mouths and dragged the ship forward at an extremely fast speed.
Within a few minutes, the forward speed of the entire ship more than doubled.
However, facing such speed, the two larger armed ships behind were still approaching rapidly.
Evan saw that the two ships were covered with a Golden atmosphere, and there were a large number of dollar bill symbols on them.
And the source of these Golden smells is actually emanating from the ship's chimney.
Yes, in Beyonder's view, the chimney is not emitting black smoke from burning coal!
But the golden smoke that burns money!
As golden smoke came out of the chimney, the two ships started to rush forward as if the acceleration gear was turned on!
