Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation

Faced with Will Turner’s compelling question, Sheyan laughed in response.

"The scenery here is amazing, while the governor’s mansion is the most extravagant mansion of Port Royal. As a foreigner, would there be a problem in sightseeing? Could it be that the usually hospitable british would treat a foreigner in this manner?"

Will Turner replied earnestly.

"If you’re here to admire the scenery, then you should’ve first visited the reefs of Port Royal. I presume it houses hung pirates monthly, a scene of seagulls feasting."

Experiencing the tone and demeanor of Will Turner’s speech, Sheyan understood he wasn’t compatible with him; thus, mindlessly conceding wouldn’t be an approach worthy of respect. Hence, Sheyan impatiently muttered with indifference.

"So I see, it is british custom for apprentice blacksmiths to enforce law and order as well."

After Sheyan issued such a mocking statement, Will Turner’s expression immediately sank.

The aristocracies and ideologies of british nobility were deeply significant, and as an apprentice blacksmith, his status had always been a thorn in his flesh. The great disparity between his status and Elizabeth’s status, drew a wedge between both of them in union.

As for why Will Turner could enter the governor’s mansion, it was purely due to him forging a good sword for Governor Swann.....a sword that would eventually be conferred to the newly promoted Commodore Norrington, and also a sword he wished to seek betrothal to Elizabeth with. However, Governor Swann wasn’t home today, and Will Turner could only leave the governor’s mansion with his sword.

Having been ridiculed by Sheyan, Will Turner’s face turned increasingly suly. Yet he didn’t engage in sarcastic repartee to this scenario, but maintained his elegant demeanor as he turned to leave.

Yet at this instant, four individuals abruptly trudged out from a corner, and casted queer glances over. Though contestants’ equipments were disguised to storyline characters, contestants could still differentiate amongst their peers; for example a trademark golden AK…..

Hence, after a brief mutual scanning, they could roughly guess each other’s identities. Yet at this moment, a glimmer flickered on the neck of a rather familiar looking but mediocre contestant, where he possibly activated a certain ability. He suddenly pointed towards Sheyan and admonished.

"Mister Turner, that man is a pirate! He dares to loiter outside the governor’s mansion, he definitely possesses ill intent towards the lady Elizabeth!"

After that individual spoke, Sheyan immediately burst into laughters.

"Chris, it actually is you! Ah, my lovely cousin, Chris."

Indeed, when that contestant impulsively spoke, he forgot that though appearance could be modified, one’s voice couldn’t be concealed! This brat was indeed the Chris of Sheyan’s previous stint in the Pirates of the Caribbean world, the one that had been sold out by Sheyan....

But as the saying goes, the old man lost his mare, but it all turned out for the best*. Even though Chris had been viciously exploited by Sheyan previously, he still managed to reap pirate reputation through his act of demolishing the Bell and Mug; where his reputation amongst the pirates soared to ‘Respected’. Banking on this, he enticed the trust of several pirates. In one fell swoop, Chris made it big! Borrowing the excuse of expanding his crew, he turned traitorous and sold off his pirates to Norrington; successfully earning a clean slate for himself!

(TN:*a blessing in disguise)

More critically, Chris relied on his new found establishment of popularity and network, and devised ways to re-enter the pirates of the caribbean world twice more than Sheyan. Through his meticulous scheming, his invested relationship with Will Turner was presently ‘Amicable’ and on the verge of becoming ‘Respected’.

As for this time, Chris had staked everything to act as a go-between of Will Turner and, trying matchmake him and Elizabeth ahead of time. As it turns out, his conspiracy was immensely audacious – intending to assassinate the main lead, Jack Sparrow. If he were to accomplish that, not long would Hack’s dropped equipments be a massive bumper harvest, it would also signify one thing based on his conjecture; that with Jack’s death, the fortunes of being main lead would be inherited by Will Turner!

At present, Captain Jack Sparrow was an exceptionally infamous pirate. Hence, his gang was planning to exploit the fact that Will Turner wasn’t aware of his own status as a pirate’s son, to slay Jack Sparrow when both parties crossed hands as per the movie storyline!

Even if they failed to harvest Captain Jack Sparrow’s dropped key, they would still be heftily awarded with reputation points on the Norrington’s side. This notion had left them salivating, where they hadn’t even factored in the immense benefits of Will Turner ascending as main lead!

Hearing the testimony of their friend, Chris, the expressions of the storyline characters drastically changed.

"Sure enough, you lot are pirates!"

Will Turner immediately revealed an enraged countenance, as he effortlessly loosened the long wooden case clasped beneath his armpits. Gravity pulled the case to the ground, as his right hand immediately grappled downwards!

As the wooden lid flipped before crashing to the ground, that exquisite sword stored within it was already gripped in his hands. ‘Shing!" He unsheathed it, and bluntly pointed its sharp tip towards Sheyan and buddies!

By now, the two marines guarding the mansion gates had strided over, and aimed their black barreled muskets at Sheyan and buddies. Upon spectating this commotion, Chris’s lips curled into a sinister smile; do you think it was for nought that I painstakingly build up my enterprise in Port Royal?

In just a short instance, his single phrase had already trapped those damnable foes before him into a perilous predicament!!! The ecstasy of vengeance sprung up within him.

Instead, Sheyan still maintained a jubilant smirk as he waved in classic fashion at Chris. Then, he raised both hands up, as he strolled towards the two vigilant marines and offered them several words. Following that, the two marines followed him to a corner, while still being half-doubtful. Nonetheless, the two marines returned with Sheyan while beaming with smiles after a span of half a minute. If one didn’t understand the insider story, one would reckon them to be sworn brothers.

Chris’s eyeballs bulged widely as he called out.

"How can that be, right, those two scoundrels must have accepted your bribe! Oi! You shameless scums trying to silence me?"

In in shock and fury, Chris had a slip of his tongue, accidentally calling the two marines scoundrels. Moreover, he even suggested they had greedily accepted a bribe....unless the two marines had negative IQ, they naturally turned incomparably furious and desired to discipline the culprit who slandered them! Observing them lifting their shimmering cutlass and pressing in, Chris understood that he had messed up and hastily retreated. Instead, Will Turner proceeded to obstruct the marines, with a face filled with disatisfaction.

"My friend has verified the pirate identities of those scums, aren’t you going to apprehend them?"

Sheyan spectated the scene with a detached countenance, while he scoffed in the party channel.

"That idiot Chris. If he hadn’t raise the subject of bribery, those two marines would’ve spared him. Unfortunately, he just had to reveal the truth of the matter…..hahaha."

Brother Black curiously asked.

"Could those marines truly be shaken by money?"

Sheyan shook his head.

"That isn’t so. Guineas can merely be utilized in gilding the lily, not sending charcoals during a snowy weather. Do you still remember the Sheffields Trading Company we traded with?"

Mogensha scoffed.

"I don’t have amnesia, why wouldn’t I remember?"

Sheyan laughed and continued.

"I merely produced that invitation card given by the Sheffields Trading Company, allowing the two marines to examine it. Follow up with ten gold guineas, and they could only reluctantly accept it. If I’d blatantly tossed out ten guineas, they would surely smack my face with the gold coins."

Hearing Sheyan’s words, Reef and Mogensha were both enlightened. According to the exact information they had, the Sheffields Trading Company had a momentous backer in the governor; where Mister McKinnery was in fact, the governor’s butler.

Standing guard by the mansion gate, the two marines definitely possessed sharp observance, and could naturally recognize the individuals coming in and out of the mansion. They understood which individuals were not be trifled with, and since they witnessed Sheyan being capable enough to acquire the invitation of the Sheffields Trading Company, they became aware his relationship with the governor wasn’t shallow. Hence, they wouldn’t listen to a nobody like Chris, and dismissed him.

Presently facing Will Turner’s queries, the two marines similarly didn’t offered much face to a measly apprentice blacksmith. Tilting their chins, they mocked.

"Get back to your smithing iron. A pirate or not, would a marine like us not differentiate? Do I need you to lecture me? Move aside, we must definitely teach this slanderous hoodlum a lesson today!"

Though a marine had been stalled by Will Turner, the other marine detoured past as he shouted.

"Even if you run, I’ll find you at your shop!"

As it turns out, Chris had actually mingled up his way to prominence, and had purchased a property in Port Royal. His undertakings were specially inclined towards earning gold guineas from storyline characters, before exchanging them for utility points with contestants.

As Port Royal was a safe zone, it was frequently by large amounts of contestants that entered the caribbean word. Hence, Chris had earned quite a lot from there. Yet upon hearing the marine’s threat, he could only submit while scowling miserably.

That marine spared no courtesies, as he battered Chris with the butt of his musket rifle; pummeling him with a bruised face and swollen nose. Sheyan continued to smile while spectating the scene. The more pain Chris suffered from getting thrashed, the more face he felt he lost; becoming so furious his vision turned black. Meanwhile, Will Turner glared maliciously at Sheyan, as he removed his gloves and flung it before Sheyan!!
