"A chance to clear your name?" Almost all the pirates were stunned.
"That's right! I'm going to give you a chance to turn over a new leaf, "Jiang Fei said with a faint smile.
"Sir, do you mean that we can let bygones be bygones for what we've done before?" Several pirate leaders asked excitedly.
The reason why these pirates were so eager to clear their names was mainly because they had already made enough money. These big pirates present were not small fries like Kracha. They had at least hundreds of spaceships under their command, including many active warships. Although they could not be compared to the regular army, these warships were all bought with real money, and the price on the black market was much higher than the purchase price of the army.
Therefore, these pirates were not short of money at all. It could even be said that they were rich enough to rival a country. Their only worry was that they might be annihilated by the regular army at any time, especially when they had disrespected Jiang Fei before. Under the leadership of Aurelia, the Universe Empire's army had massacred more than a dozen pirate nests. Hundreds of thousands of pirates had been killed. This destructive operation had completely touched the heartstrings of the pirates, letting them know that their lives had never been their own.
Although these pirates were outlaws, as time went on, they would also get married and have children. They would also have their own families. Although these outlaws might not believe in love, and women might just be their playthings, even a vicious tiger would not eat its cubs. They also had to think about their descendants. The sons of pirates couldn't also be little pirates. They couldn't have their heads hung on their waistbands from an early age, living a life where there was no tomorrow.
Therefore, the pirates wanted to clear their names, but the major civilizations did not give them this opportunity. The major civilizations in the main universe had written rules that anyone who had been a pirate would be sentenced to death unless there was a special exception. Otherwise, if they were caught, they would be sentenced to death regardless of their age. Even if they were a pirate's baby, they would still be sentenced to death! This was because they thought that the genes of pirates were evil!
Therefore, although these big pirates were rich enough to rival a country, they had no way out. Although in theory there was a special exception for them to clear their names, with their status, how could they get the appreciation of such a big shot? Therefore, this special exception was actually equivalent to an empty title.
Now, Jiang Fei said in front of these pirates that he would give them a chance to clear their names. Therefore, these pirates were all excited. In the entire universe, there were no more than ten people who had the authority to grant amnesty to pirates. Obviously, Jiang Fei was one of them.
Even though the universe empire had an emperor in name, as long as one was well informed, they would all know who was in charge of the universe empire!
Therefore, as long as Jiang Fei nodded, the Universe Empire, one of the two giants in the universe, would grant these pirates amnesty. When that happened, these pirates would be cleansed of their identities in at least half of the universe. Not only would they be able to avoid the risk of being exterminated at any time, but they could also rely on their accumulated wealth to leap into the upper class.
To pirates, this was a fatal temptation.
"Yes! As long as you complete the task I've given you, I'll make up for everything you've done in the past! "
"Grand Marshal, are you speaking the truth?" Although these pirates knew that there was no such thing as a free lunch in this world and that the task Jiang Fei was about to give them was definitely very dangerous, they still planned to take a gamble. After all, as pirates, they were doing business with their lives on the line. If this task was completed, they would completely get rid of their identity as pirates, so it was worth the gamble.
"Do you think you're worthy of being deceived by me?" Jiang Fei's tone was full of contempt, but these pirates were extremely happy.
These pirates did not care about Jiang Fei's contempt because Jiang Fei's status was tens of thousands of streets higher than theirs. He was the Grand Marshal of the universe empire, and also the ruler of the universe empire. What about them? They were just like street rats. Jiang Fei was a dignified Hermit expert, and what about them? They were not even considered as ants in front of him.
Therefore, no matter from which perspective, Jiang Fei had no need to lie to these pirates. Although Jiang Fei's words were very harsh, it was the truth. These pirates were really worthy of him lying.
"Grand Marshal, may I ask, what do you want me to do?" A big pirate asked.
"It's very simple. I have a batch of treasures on Planet Barmo, but recently I heard that someone wants to rob it. As it is my personal treasure, I can't use the empire's army, so I hope that you can help me protect it," Jiang Fei said calmly.
"Grand Marshal, can you tell us who is after your treasure?" Another pirate asked. These pirates were used to being cautious, so they liked to ask clearly when something happened.
"Some outsiders," Jiang Fei said. At this moment, although the true identity of the "players" was still a mystery, the entire universe knew about the existence of outsiders like them. They were even a little used to their existence.
"Okay! I'll take this deal! "
"I'll take it too!"
…
As soon as Jiang Fei's voice fell, many pirates agreed. This was because they had all heard about the situation of the "players". Although these guys were very powerful and their spaceships were also very powerful, they were very few in number. Therefore, even if there was danger, it would not be to the point of being wiped out. If that was the case, they could totally give it a try, because if they completed the task, what awaited them would be a life of high society!
"What about the others?" Jiang Fei asked calmly. Although his voice was not loud, many people's foreheads were sweating.
Previously, Jiang Fei had also invited them calmly, but these pirates did not take it seriously. Therefore, more than a dozen big pirates were uprooted, and not a single one was left alive. Now that Jiang Fei had such an attitude, who would dare to be negligent?
"We'll join too!"
"Count me in!"
…
Under Jiang Fei's pressure, these pirates all agreed to join.
"This mission is very difficult. I can tell you clearly that participating in this mission will result in a great loss. Some of you may not even have the chance to return," Jiang Fei said calmly. His words made the pirates' hearts rise to their throats.
"Although I can't guarantee your safety, there's one thing I can promise you. If you survive, I'll help you clear your identities. If you die in this mission, I can guarantee the safety of your family members. All the wealth you leave behind will be inherited by your family members." Jiang Fei's words completely moved the pirates. Why did they risk their lives to clear their identities? Wasn't it so that their children could have a clean birth, so that they would not be hunted down the moment they were born?
