What are the requirements?

When Gilbert was hesitating, Barr was actually thinking about the benefits from Gilbert later, because he was very convinced that Gilbert would choose the suggestions he made.

Sure enough, Gilbert agreed.

Then the next time is the time for his lion to open his mouth.

When Barr just asked himself what he lacked now, two things suddenly popped up in his mind, money and talent.

Things like money really have to be more good.

Although he had just used the Transparent Man's vest to successfully blackmailed 2 billion Baileys from Gilbert, he probably lost all of them when it came to expansion.

This is especially true for talents.

The chance of being able to produce available talents in the slums is still very low. During this period, he has indeed taken in many subordinates with pretty good strength, but none of them are as literary and martial as Barfina. They are all a group of rude men and illiterate, and basically they can only solve problems by force.

Therefore, he had to recruit some clerks with no combat effectiveness to deal with matters in the territory.

He even prepared to personally cultivate a group of talents with intelligence, force and loyalty to the organization.

However, Barr can temporarily solve these two things by relying on his own strength, and is not the best choice at present. So after thinking about it, he decided to take away a precious treasure from Gilbert this time that only he, the prince, could give.

This treasure is a territory, a legal territory.

"What! You want Rock Island."

Gilbert said with a serious expression in the lord castle.

Rock Island, a small island near Magnetic Island with an area of ​​only a few thousand square kilometers, can be reached in about half a day from the Port of Vilia.

Like the drum kingdom, Rock Island is also a winter island, with no useful resources on it except the cold woods and some beasts.

Although this island is still the territory of the Magnetic Drum Kingdom, it has long been in name only since the era of the Great Pirates. Because it is lonely overseas, it is difficult to be protected by the official forces of the Magnetic Drum Kingdom. Now it has become a paradise for the Pirates and has become an uninhabitable area.

"Yes, I want this island, and I hope Mr. Gilbert can give up."

Barr replied in a positive tone.

"There has been occupied by pirates for a long time. What are you going to do? If you want, just grab it directly from the pirates. With your current strength, it shouldn't be difficult." Gilbert said coldly.

Even though Rock Island has now become an uninhibited area without his jurisdiction and is not a very valuable island, it is still his territory in name.

As a royal family, Gilbert has a very strong sense of territory. Unless he had no choice, he would never do anything like ceding territory.

Snatch it?

Of course Barr had thought about this simple and crude way of doing things, but he knew very well that this kind of island that he snatched directly could not be regarded as his own territory, at least not now.

Because of the lack of a layer of skin, a layer of skin that is enough for the Navy to not take the initiative to come and attack.

It has been a long time since Rock Island was occupied by pirates. Because it has a very good geographical location and is close to the main sea channel, many ambitious pirate groups want to build their own bases here and then use this to radiate their influence to the surroundings, but the final outcome is to be surrounded and defeated by the navy that came to hear the news.

According to the navy, pirates are allowed to become a group of stray dogs on the sea with no fixed place, but if you want to do something like urinating around the territory, it is absolutely not allowed, and you will definitely kill each other when you see each other.

Although Barr is not a pirate, his current identity is a gangster and he is not a good person in the eyes of the Navy.

If he had not been recognized by Gilbert's ceded Rock Island, even if he successfully occupied Rock Island, he would definitely have attracted the destruction of the navy.

"After all, what you snatched is wrong and thankless, so Mr. Gilbert needs to be given up. Mr. Gilbert, you shouldn't be reluctant to leave it. As you said just now, this island has been occupied by pirates, and over the years, you have not cared about this island, so you shouldn't be reluctant to leave it."

So when Barr heard Gilbert's words, he immediately said in a puzzled tone.

Gilbert obviously did not shake his decision not to ced the territory because Barr said that he did not care about Rock Island at all, and directly refused in a tough tone: "Hmph, there is no need to say that these useless things, I, Gilbert, would never do such things as cede territory. Besides, you are not even aristocrats, and you are not qualified to legally obtain territory, so please exchange for other things."

"I didn't expect that this selfish old guy would have such persistence. I thought he would agree obediently. Also, this guy is indeed deeply influenced by the Tianlong people's culture and has a strong class consciousness. He must not allow civilians to own territory in his bones. Sure enough, if you want to truly obtain territory, you still have to go through formal channels."

Seeing this, Barr's smile gradually disappeared, he looked at the phone worm in front of him coldly, and cursed in his heart.

However, he did not choose to give up and used silence to release pressure on Gilbert.

In this transaction, he is not a weak side, Gilbert is the one. He needs to properly create pressure on Gilbert so that the other party will be more likely to accept the new conditions he offered in the future.

As Gilbert rejected Barr's request, Barr remained silent. For a moment, the atmosphere of dialogue between the two sides quickly became solemn.

Gradually, minute by minute, neither party continued to speak. Obviously, they were using silence to express their decisions unwaveringly. This transaction seemed to end in an unhappy end.

"Well, Mr. Gilbert, you won. If you don't give it to Rock Island, don't give it. It's no big deal. I'll ask for it. I'll change it. I hope you don't reject me anymore."

Barr felt that the pressure he had created for Gilbert was almost the same, so he took the initiative to give in and said in a helpless tone.

Seeing Barr give in, Gilbert immediately breathed a sigh of relief. To be honest, he almost got discouraged because he couldn't withstand the pressure.

After all, asking Barr to help this matter is related to his wealth and life. If he really insists on ruining his life because of his temporary willfulness, it would definitely be a loss.

Thinking about it now, he was a little scared and felt that his persistence was a bit stupid. If he had no life, he would have nothing. What is an island?

"As long as I am not allowed to cede the territory, you can say whatever conditions, as long as I can do it, I will definitely not reject you."

Because of Barr's initiative to make concessions, Gilbert is in a good mood now and immediately smiled and promised.
