Chapter 110: The Demon’s Game
Roy could not figure out what had happened to him, so he could only put down his curiosity for the time being.
At this time, Jack Sparrow’s eyes kept darting around as he observed the situation on the ship. When he realized that what he had proposed was not what the demon in front of him wanted, he began to consider how to escape.
It was very dangerous to make a deal with a demon. When the negotiation failed, Jack Sparrow was worried. What if the demon was in a bad mood and directly took away his soul...
Roy noticed what Jack Sparrow was thinking. He did not care much about Jack Sparrow’s soul, but he would not be a demon if he let him leave his ship so easily.
Roy suddenly had an idea.
He stood up, walked in front of Jack Sparrow, and bent down to stare straight at him. “Although I’m not interested in your deal, you’re the first person in this world to find me for one, so I can give you preferential treatment!”
“Wh-what kind of preferential treatment?” Jack Sparrow asked carefully.
“Another deal!” Roy grinned at Jack Sparrow. “Do you like money?”
“Of course!” Jack Sparrow shrugging lightly, pretending that he was calm. “Who doesn’t like money in this world?”
“In that case, I’ll give you a chance!” Roy extended his right hand in the air, his palm facing the deck.
Jack Sparrow was puzzled about what Roy wanted to do, but before he could ask, a golden flash appeared in Roy’s hand!
Ding! A gold item fell onto the deck and produced a crisp and pleasant sound. When Jack Sparrow heard the sound, his ears immediately perked up!
Before he could cry out in surprise, another gold item fell from Roy’s hand...
One piece, two pieces... ten pieces, a hundred pieces! Under Jack Sparrow’s stupefied gaze, a large number of gold bars continuously fell out of the void and landed on the deck, colliding with the other gold bars and making crisp sounds.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Oh my... oh my God!” Jack Sparrow knelt down. Ignoring the danger of being hit by the gold bars, he pounced onto them.
However, Roy was still releasing the gold bars from the system space. Jack Sparrow, who was kneeling, was quickly buried in gold bars.
In the end, Roy finally stopped releasing the gold bars when Jack Sparrow was buried with only his head still exposed. At this moment, most of the deck was submerged by the gold bars. The thousands of glittering gold bars made Jack Sparrow’s eyes shine, and he excitedly enjoyed this feeling of lying in the gold pile. He did not mind that he was almost buried but instead tried to swim in the gold pile, stirring the gold bars and making clanking sounds.
Looking at Jack Sparrow’s excited expression, Roy confirmed that humans really could not see the black gas on the gold...
After Jack Sparrow had enjoyed himself enough in this pile of gold, Roy said with a calm expression, “How do you like it?”
“Oh my God!” Jack Sparrow grabbed a few bars and kissed them hard. “It’s true! You’re definitely not a demon but a real angel! No, even angels aren’t as generous as you! Oh, look at these cute little ones. They’re so charming, and their voices are so sweet. They... are the cutest things in the world!”
After seeing the thousands of gold bars, Jack Sparrow’s tone toward Roy changed, and he even addressed Roy respectfully.
Roy looked at Jack Sparrow, who was seemingly already regarding the gold as his own. He did not say a word and allowed Jack Sparrow to revel in it. After a while, Roy suddenly said calmly, “I know you love this gold, but who told you that I was going to give it all to you?”
When these words reached Jack Sparrow’s ears, it was like a bolt from the blue. He froze!
“Wh-what did you say? Not giving it to me?” Jack Sparrow turned around in disbelief and looked at Roy with an extremely marvelous expression on his face.
Roy returned to his frozen chair and sat down again. With one hand on his cheek, he said to Jack Sparrow, “I still have a lot of gold like this. What you see now is at most 1%. It can even be said that if I take all the gold out, the entire ship won’t be able to fit it all!”
After hearing this, Jack Sparrow took a deep breath, yet his breathing became heavy.
Even this ship can’t fit all the gold. How much wealth is that?! Perhaps due to the stimulation of this wealth, Jack Sparrow’s mind was a little clearer at this time. He carefully asked, “Generous lord, if I didn’t hear wrongly just now, you seemed to have said... you would give me another chance to make a deal?”
“That’s right!” Roy nodded. “The rule of this transaction is that you leave whatever you have on you, and then you can take the same weight in gold from my ship!
“How is it? Is it fair? This is the preferential treatment that only you can get!” Roy could not help but smile.
Although Roy’s smile was frightening no matter how he looked at it, Jack Sparrow could not care less and asked impatiently, “Really? Anything?”
“Of course!” Roy nodded again to confirm with him. He even reached out his hand and made a ‘please start your performance’ gesture...
The next second, Jack Sparrow immediately took off his captain’s hat and threw it on the deck. Then he took off his coat.
Not long after, Jack Sparrow even stripped himself naked. All the clothes on him, along with the messy accessories, his gun, cutlass, rum bottle, and so on, he took everything off.
He wanted to exchange these things for Roy’s gold...
“Very good!” Roy moved his finger, and Jack Sparrow’s clothes floated into the air. Roy weighed it and said, “All of these things together can exchange for two kilograms of gold!”
As soon as he finished speaking, twenty gold bars separated from the pile of gold, flew in front of Jack Sparrow, and then fell at his feet.
Because he was naked, Jack Sparrow was shivering from the cold on the Frozen Ghost Ship. But when he looked at the twenty gold bars at his feet and then at the thousands of gold bars in the pile, Jack Sparrow instantly felt the huge contrast and hurriedly said, “Wait! Wait! There’s more!”
Roy did not speak and gestured for him to continue.
Jack Sparrow seemed to have thought of something, and with his fingers in a strange gesture, he picked up the empty rum bottle from the ground and turned around. A splashing sound came, and an orangish-yellow liquid appeared in the bottle.
After he finished peeing, he shook carefully, afraid of leaking a single drop. He kept going until his entire bladder was empty before he turned around and looked at Roy uneasily.
Roy was cursing Jack Sparrow in his heart, but he remained expressionless. He nodded, expressing his recognition, and threw two gold bars over.
Jack Sparrow breathed a sigh of relief and continued to search for something that he could use to exchange for gold. He even cut off his hair, only to find that the hair was too light and could not be exchanged for much gold. Otherwise, Roy thought that he might have even exchanged with the hair below...
When he could not find anything in the end, Jack Sparrow suddenly saw the cutlass he threw on the deck.
He picked up the cutlass and made a few strokes. Then he hesitantly looked at his arm, which had turned black after not bathing for a long time.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAt this moment, Roy sat up straight. The most important part of the game was coming!
Roy had said earlier that anything could be exchanged for gold, but how much weight could some mere worldly possessions have? Therefore, the player in this game would definitely think of the flesh on his body!
With one arm, even the flesh and bones would weigh at least five kilograms. And the gold that could be exchanged would naturally be more...
Cassandra obviously understood Roy’s meaning, so her pair of skeleton eyes were also staring intently at Jack Sparrow, wanting to see what choice he would make.
Jack Sparrow held the cutlass in his right hand and gestured on his left arm, but he could not do it. Roy did not rush him and just watched.
After struggling for a long time, Jack Sparrow finally gave up. He threw the cutlass aside and said to Roy dejectedly, “That’s all I can exchange!”
Roy did not say anything and nodded. “All right, you can take the gold!”
Jack Sparrow hugged the gold bars on the ground and carried it to the side of the ship with a reluctant expression.
After he returned to the small boat and put down the gold, he slowly rowed the boat away.
In the end, he failed to cut his own arm. At the same time, he did not abandon the compass. It was the only thing he had taken away and did not use to exchange for gold. It seemed that in his mind, this compass that he could use to find the Black Pearl was more important than gold.
Of course, it was also possible that he planned to use the compass to find Roy’s Frozen Ghost Ship again and trade for gold a second time. Who knew what his real purpose was...
After Jack Sparrow left, Cassandra asked Roy, “Master, why did you make such a deal with him?”
“I just wanted to see how greedy he is!” Roy said. “Had he really cut off his arm to exchange for gold, then he wouldn’t have been far from death. I wouldn’t have treated him, and he would have bled to death in this sea. Even if he could have taken the gold away, he wouldn’t have had the life to enjoy it! At that time, I would have taken his soul!”
Cassandra said, “That means this man has a bottom line... He’s not blinded by greed.”
“Who knows? If I told him he could exchange for ten times the weight in gold, would he still be able to maintain his rationality?” Roy smiled and returned to the deck. He picked up the clothes left by Jack Sparrow and found a pendant from the pile of clothes.
This pendant was originally on Jack Sparrow’s headscarf, and Roy recognized it immediately.
“This is one of the tokens of the Pirate Lords that seals the Goddess Calypso, right? As expected, I got it without any effort!” Roy raised the pendant, looked at the silver coin at the bottom of the pendant, and could not help but laugh.
Yes, Roy had not hesitated to make such a trade game, and even endured watching Jack Sparrow’s ugly performance, in order to obtain the seal token that his father had passed down to him. This was probably the only thing that Jack Sparrow could have really taken out that could be considered to have bargaining power...
