As soon as they met, the leader of Puntland Guard said very respectfully, "Hello, Sir. My name is Sheck. I'm the leader of Puntland Guard..."
The five-star general from Ten Thousand Armies had a blank expression on his face as he said, "I don't care who you are. I just want to know what is your ulterior motive since you, as a pirate, actually dared to take the initiative to ask to meet up with us?"
Sheck hurriedly said, "The leaders of the other pirate organization and I myself know of Ten Thousand Armies’ reputation and prestige. We have the utmost respect for Ten Thousand Armies, and we also welcome Ten Thousand Armies to the Gulf of Aden. The reason why we would like to meet with Your Excellency is because we want to have a friendly negotiation with Ten Thousand Armies to determine i f both of our sides can coexist peacefully in the Gulf of Aden in the future..."
The five-star general said coldly, "Ten Thousand Armies will not cooperate with pirate organizations like yours in any way! You're not worthy!”
When Sheck heard this, his heart instantly turned cold.
If Ten Thousand Armies really had such an attitude, they were really going to be pushed to a dead-end.
At this time, the five-star general then spoke up again and said, "But what I can tell you is that Ten Thousand Armies has a lot of business, and there will be a huge number of cargo ships demanding for our armed escort services, coming and going from the Gulf of Aden. Therefore, we can only cater to 50% and up to 60 % at most of these demands. As long as you people do not make enemies with Ten Thousand Armies from now on, we will let you go!"
When Sheck heard this, his heart that had originally turned cold was instantly boiling in excitement again!
He looked at the five-star general and asked excitedly, "Your Excellency, is what you're saying true?! You will really let us off the hook as long as we do not become Ten Thousand Armies' enemies?!"
The five-star general questioned him in return, “Do you think that I'm joking with you?"
