Rebirth in 1958: Getting rich starts from Nanluoguxiang

Chapter 1264 What's with all the pirates?!

Anne's eyes lit up with increasing joy. So many nobles meant ever-growing wealth. Did that mean she could just quit after this job?

I could buy the title of princess of a small country, travel the world, spend money however I wanted, and then marry a handsome and rich man. Wouldn't that be wonderful?

Annie cleared her throat.

"How about this, I'll give you a chance..."

Anne stood up. She was wearing a white shirt, a striped vest, riding breeches, and boots, with a belt laden with bullets. Two revolvers with silver grips were also slung across her shoulder.

She slowly jumped down and came to a noblewoman. She gently lifted her chin with her finger and said flirtatiously.

"Madam, I really like the scent of your perfume, and I also like..."

Her hand slowly moved to choke the noblewoman's throat.

“Watching those people slowly lose their breath in my hands makes me very excited. I said I would give you a chance. How about we play a game? The winner can make a request of me, and the loser will have to pay the price, which is all your wealth.”

She released the lady's hand, who was trembling with fear.

Anne ordered the pirates to bring a square table. Standing before it, she drew her ivory-handled revolver, ejected the magazine with one hand, removed six bullets, picked up a new bullet, placed it back in the magazine, and then gently flicked it with her fingers, causing the magazine to spin.

Anne flung her hand, and the magazine landed on the latch, still spinning. Anne slammed the gun on the table and shouted.

"Russian Roulette, anyone want to play a round with me?"

Russian Roulette was once popular throughout Europe, and many people used it for duels, so everyone understood what it was all about. But no one touched it. Nobody here was stupid. Pirates being honest? That was a joke.

"What's wrong? I gave you a chance, but you were useless. Well then, I won't be polite."

Before she could finish speaking, a clear voice rang out.

"I'll bet with you."

Annie squinted, looking in the direction the sound came from. From the torchlight in the darkness, Da Bao slowly emerged, his left hand clutching a person's hair, his right hand carrying a Miao sword.

He walked step by step toward Anne, whose hand rested on the handle of her revolver, her legs slightly bent, like a wild beast about to pounce and tear its prey apart.

At this moment, a dozen or so pirates surrounded him, all pointing their guns at Da Bao's head. Da Bao glanced at them contemptuously, grinned maliciously, and revealed the man he was carrying to the pirates.

The pirates gasped in surprise, and they all shouted.

"It's Lord Quinn, Lord Quinn."

Quinn Latifa barely opened his swollen single eye; it was clear he had been punched. He gritted his teeth and said.

"Don't worry about me, shoot this Eastern pig!"

Da Bao held the Miao sword to his neck and said with a smile.

"You're being naughty. You were naughty just now, so I punched you. Now you're still naughty, so I'll slit your throat."

Quinn shuddered in fright. The cold touch of the Miao knife on his neck sent shivers down his spine, and he no longer dared to act tough.

"Sir, I beg you to let me go. If you let me go, I will agree to any conditions you want."

The pirates lowered their guns. Their Lord Quinn was in enemy hands. If they kept their guns, and accidentally injured him, they would be fine if they killed him, but if they didn't, they would be skinned alive.

Annie laughed heartily.

"Easterner, I've heard you're very wealthy, so why don't you gamble with your riches?"

Dabao shook his head.

"No way! I want to gamble with this blind man in the first round."

Anne was taken aback. A blind man? Who? Doesn't Quinn still have one eye?

Da Bao placed the Miao sword on the table, picked up the revolver, weighed it in his hand, and said to Annie.

"What did you just say was the stake?"

“Easterner, I mean if you win, you can make one request; if you lose, you must give me all your wealth.”

Da Bao got angry as soon as he heard that and couldn't help but start cursing.

"Go to hell! Who the hell are you trying to fool? You said I could make one request if I won, and if I said my request was to unify the world, and you told me that was okay?"

I asked you why you wouldn't help me fulfill my request? You said you only allowed me to make a request, but didn't say you had to complete it. You little punk, you think you can play these word games with a Chinese person? You're really trying to sell your knowledge to Confucius!

Annie was completely bewildered by Da Bao's barrage of words, which mixed English and Chinese. However, she did understand the first part. She knew that Da Bao had seen through her tricks and couldn't help but feel angry and embarrassed.

Upon hearing this, the person understood immediately. "Oh, this bitch has a really bad conscience. She only said that if you win, you can make a request, but she didn't say she would help you fulfill it. Luckily, no one was stupid enough to gamble with her."

Anne shouted angrily.

"Easterner, then tell me, what do you want if you win?"

Da Bao thought for a while and didn't really want anything. Suddenly, he had a brilliant idea. People say that this pirate den is a treasure trove. If we raided the pirate den, how much money would we have?

He turned back, winked at Arthur, and asked.

"Arthur, does this pirate have any money?"

Arthur hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

“If this female pirate inherited the name of Anne who helped you more than two hundred years ago, then she must have inherited her wealth. This wealth accumulated over two hundred years must be quite substantial.”

He was just about to remind Da Bao that even if he won, it wouldn't matter, the female pirate would definitely deny it, but Da Bao laughed and said...

"Female pirate, since we're going to gamble, let's be fair. You use your wealth, and I'll use mine. If you win, I'll sign a document in public, and all my wealth will be yours. If you lose, you'll give me all the wealth in your pirate den. How about that? Is that acceptable?"

Annie couldn't help but laugh. "Isn't this a complete idiot? Whether I win or lose, I have no intention of taking responsibility. Keeping your word with pirates? How much fake alcohol did you drink before you dared to believe them?"

Anne nodded repeatedly.

“I promise you, if you win, I will tell you all the wealth of the Barbary and write you a document. Is that alright?”

Da Bao said earnestly.

"Then it's a deal."

He raised his revolver and slowly aimed it at his temple.
