Chapter 696: Chapter 469: Mouse Falls into the Rice Jar_3
Zachary saw the action Ye Liuyun made and instantly understood Ye Liuyun’s intention; he then stopped talking about other matters, and the two of them, arm over shoulder, entered Ye Liuyun’s room.
Only after Ye Liuyun closed the door of his room did he sigh and sit in the chair, his face the picture of dejection.
Seeing Ye Liuyun’s expression, Zachary became curious and asked, "Come on, what happened? Does this ship still belong to the Yes or not?"
"I’m so idle; how could the ship possibly still belong to the Yes."
Seeing Ye Liuyun’s dejected face, Zachary suddenly thought of something and directly asked Ye Liuyun, "Right, where’s Gordon? Weren’t you two preparing something last time? Where is he now?"
Hearing the name Gordon, Ye Liuyun’s face filled with rage, and his tone was as if he wished to tear Gordon apart, "Don’t mention that bastard to me. If it weren’t for his betrayal, I wouldn’t have ended up like this."
Seeing Ye Liuyun’s expression turning somewhat twisted, Zachary grew even more curious and couldn’t help but ask, "What exactly happened?"
"Before you came to pick people up, I had Gordon and the people he brought hide aboard the ship, predicting that you would cause some problems due to the ship’s control rights after picking people up.
After discussing with Gordon, he said he would stay hidden, and if something really went wrong, he would take the opportunity to deal with those troublemakers."
"Originally, as soon as you left, we had agreed that he would take advantage of the moment you were gone and everyone else was off guard to make his move."
"But unexpectedly, after you dealt with that large ship, many small Mysterious Ships appeared on the sea."
"When the Mysterious Ships first appeared, to ensure the safety of this large ship, others were arranged to intercept those small Mysterious Ships from a distance, just like you did."
"But after the others destroyed the small Mysterious Ships and obtained Companion Spiritual Treasures using the Mysterious Cores, things got a lot more complicated."
"Fortunately, I kept a firm grip on the supplies, so those who had just got their Companion Spiritual Treasures didn’t get any second thoughts... for the time being."
"But as people from our old home boarded the ship, I had no choice but to hand over some power, yet I kept a tight hold on control of the supplies."
"In order to get more Mysterious Cores, we discussed and finally opened up the exchange of supplies for Mysterious Cores."
"At first, it was okay, as no one had a Companion Spiritual Treasure, so when someone exchanged Mysterious Cores for supplies, the cores didn’t go into storage but were taken away on the spot."
"But once everyone had obtained a Companion Spiritual Treasure, although they knew that using Mysterious Cores could enhance and enlarge the Companion Spiritual Treasures, they also understood that it was wrong to simply exchange supplies for Mysterious Cores and then consume the cores directly."
"Anyone with clear eyes could guess that, unless there is some major surprise, the Mysterious Cores may very well replace gold as the hard currency in trade."
"Thus, the Mysterious Cores obtained later in exchange for supplies were not consumed on the spot, but stored in the warehouse."
"Apart from me, no one on board knew of Gordon’s existence, so..."
"Gordon embezzled those Mysterious Cores? Then he..."
"I arranged for those people to hide in the warehouse where the supplies were stored, as that was the only place that was relatively concealed at the time."
"If the mouse falls into a rice bin, there’s nothing more to say."
