Chapter 26: No business without fraud

The next morning, Hago arrived at the dock.

After boarding the Sea Emperor, Newgate met with Hago.

As soon as they met, Hago acted happy for Newgate, "Captain Newgate, I have good news!"

"Hmm?" Newgate was a little surprised.

Your wife gave birth? What kind of news would make you so happy?

"We have collected a total of 2,196 Unsullied, 25 gold royals each, what do you think?"

"Two thousand two hundred?" Newgate was a little surprised. He didn't expect that Hago could gather so many Unsullied.

"With so many of them, there shouldn't be any problems with the quality, right?" Newgate wondered if Hago had brought in sick or old Unsullied to make up the numbers.

After all, he was a slave before and knew too well the treachery of these slave owners.

Upon hearing this, Hago patted his chest and said, "I guarantee there will be no problem. If you want it, I can bring it here tonight. You can check it yourself then. If it's not good, just throw it away."

Newgate smiled and said, "What are you talking about? We want them all. Let's trade tonight. How about 2196 Unsullied and 2190?"

Hago immediately laughed out loud and said, "No, just count it as 2180. The extra 16 will be considered as gifts from me!"

For Hago, the Unsullied he got from other small slave owners were only worth 23 gold dragons. With more than 2,000 Unsullied, Hago could easily earn more than 4,000 gold dragons.

Newgate warmly invited Hago to stay for a drink, but Hago refused, saying that he still had to prepare for the transaction, and left in a hurry.

After seeing Hago off, Newgate went directly to the Palace of Poseidon, which was the cabin of Poseidon, which was magnificently decorated with a large number of rare treasures.

Jack was resting on a throne made of a huge sapphire, wearing the scarlet dragon crown given to him by the unknown young Qarth woman.

Newgate came to Jack and whispered, "Your Majesty, Hago has 2,196 Unsullied. He counted them as 2,180, 25 gold dragons each, a total of 54,500 gold dragons."

Jack nodded. This price was not bad. Last night, he sent people to sound out several philanthropists, and in the end, these philanthropists were only willing to lower the price to 29 gold royals.

But Jack knew that there had been no large-scale wars in Essos recently, and the sales of Unsullied had declined, so these great philanthropists had quite a few Unsullied.

Moreover, they still have more than 10,000 reserve Unsullied. Even so, they are still unwilling to lower the price.

Jack originally planned to spend 200,000 to renovate the merchant ship, but now he has changed his mind and plans to buy more Unsullied.

In addition to the more than 2,000 points in Hago's hands, he also reserved Unsullied worth 100,000 gold dragons from several great philanthropists in Astapor.

He used 100,000 gold dragons to buy a total of 3,450 Unsullied. Originally, he could only buy 3,448, but that group of benevolent people "generously" gave him two.

As a thank you, Jack decided to visit the homes of these good lords when Daenerys liberated Astapor.

For this purpose, Jack has sent people to inquire about whether these benefactors have any information about secret funds.

There are 8,000 Unsullied and 14,000 reserve Unsullied in the entire Astapor. Jack originally planned to buy 10,000 Unsullied.

But after Jack became concerned that all the Unsullied would be bought up, Dany's life trajectory changed.

If the Unsullied had not been obtained, there would have been no chaos in Slaver's Bay, and Essos would not have been in chaos either.

And Jack himself had no way to take advantage of the troubled waters and make a fortune from the war.

Moreover, the two hundred ships under Jack's command consume a lot of supplies every day, so Jack has to keep about 100,000 to buy some replenishment supplies.

So after much consideration, Jack chose to buy about 150,000 gold royals for the Unsullied, but Hago only wanted 25 gold royals, so Jack bought a few more, for a total of 5,646 Unsullied.

When the transaction is completed, with the 1,228 Unsullied that Jack already has, the number of Unsullied under his command will reach an astonishing 6,874, nearly seven thousand Unsullied.

Together with the Trident formed by Jack himself, the number of armed soldiers under his command will reach 8,000.

This strength is more than enough to defeat some city-states in Essos.

However, with so many people, the amount of supplies consumed every day is astronomical, so Jack must quickly build the first archipelago base.

Soon night fell, and Hago arrived as scheduled with 2,200 Unsullied. Hago selected four from the reserves to make up an integer.

"I have selected four excellent Unsullied from the reserve to make up the number for you. If you want to buy something next time, remember to come to me. The price is definitely right."

Jack looked at the smiling Hago in front of him and laughed in his heart, "You must survive Daenerys's sword first."

"Okay, next time I buy something, I'll give priority to your goods. The quality is really good."

Then dozens of Unsullied appeared and began to help the Unsullied on the scene untie the slave collars.

Hago looked at this scene with a little surprise, and finally couldn't help but remind him: "It's not a good thing to cut off the collars of slaves. It will make them think too much and forget that they are slaves!"

Jack smiled and waved his hands, "It's okay, I can control them."

Hago didn't say anything when he saw this. The goods had already been sold, so even if these Unsullied ran away, it wouldn't be his fault.

At noon the next day, Jack also completed the transaction with several big philanthropists and successfully obtained 3,450 Unsullied.

Jack then dispersed these 5,650 Unsullied and incorporated them into the original army of 1,228 Unsullied.

After redistributing the Unsullied troops, Jack left 2,000 Unsullied for himself, and then asked Newgate to go to Meereen and Yunkai to buy a batch of bed slaves and technical slaves who could reproduce normally, escorted by the remaining Unsullied, to explore the Seychelles Islands first.

He handed a nautical chart to Newgate and said, "When you get close to the Seychelles, you must follow the route on the nautical chart. Otherwise, it will be very dangerous. Do you understand?"

This nautical chart was drawn by Jack based on Poseidon's reminder, and it is quite detailed.

Newgate solemnly put away the nautical chart. He had 100% trust in Jack.

He gained dignity from Jack, and even if Jack asked him to go into the sea to fight a shark alone, he would not hesitate at all.

As for Jack, if you doubt someone, don't employ him; if you employ someone, don't doubt him. He believes that Newgate will not betray him. How can he achieve great things if he is timid?

Even if Newgate really ran away with his men and established his own regime, there is still Poseidon. Even if Newgate ran to the ends of the earth, he would be found.

After receiving the order, Newgate immediately left Astapor with all the ships of Atlantis, including the Poseidon.

Jack took two thousand Unsullied and camped near Astapor, waiting for Daenerys to arrive and make a fortune.

Just thinking about the hundreds of years of savings of the slave owners of Astapor made Jack excited. With this money, he could quickly develop the archipelago base and convert all his merchant ships into warships.
