Dream Guide - #349 - Chapter 349 The Road of Pirates
Petru’s face became more and more ugly, and his eyes gradually dimmed. He lowered his head and was silent for a while, then said slowly: “I won’t go back if I can’t, and I don’t want to go back. The wind and waves in the Gulf of Aden are too great, Carlsberg is the cemetery of the Indian Ocean, and the Arabian Sea is filled with endless ghosts… …”
He rambled like a saint chanting sutras, then raised his head and looked into the distance, “The scenery here is beautiful and the climate is pleasant. It would be nice to grow old peacefully on this island.”
Su Huilan took a few steps forward, kicked the gun box and bullet casings on the ground with her shoes, and said with a smile: “It seems not so peaceful!”
Petru was silent.
“Tell me, who wants to kill you and let you lay so many traps that the residents of the island regard you as a madman?” Su Huilan asked.
“It has nothing to do with you,” said Petru.
Su Huilan said: “Even if you want to retire, you should go to Edinburgh. I know you were born there. Or go to the United States, Las Vegas or Texas. If you like the sea, you can also go to Hawaii, which is safer. You can also turn your wealth into cash, instead of letting it sink to the bottom of the sea forever and become the ‘One Piece’ that pirates on the next generation of great waterways will fight to kill.”
“It’s easier said than done?” Petru sighed. “You also said that the whole world is looking for me. How could I go to that noisy place? How could those sanctimonious big shots let me go?”
Su Huilan said: “It is indeed difficult to persuade Asan and the Saudi royal family to give up the pursuit of you, but I can still do it to change your identity and go to the United States or Canada to spend your remaining years in peace.”
“Is this the freedom you said you could give me?” Petru sneered, “If I really want to do it, with the wealth I accumulated at sea and the people I have saved, I will be able to give me some face. Help me, this poor man, I think I can achieve this freedom you are talking about.”
“Yes, as long as you are willing to spend money, you can indeed do it. But the freedom I am talking about not only includes you, but also -” Su Huilan stroked the soft hair on her back, “Your freedom is locked up in an Egyptian prison. His wife—Lavier!”
Petru was shocked when he heard Lavier’s name. That was his unnamed wife, whom he met when he was still a mercenary.
At that time, Lavier was sold to serve guests in a high-end club in Italy. To put it bluntly, she was a prostitute in a brothel. Petru took a fancy to her at first sight. During the first night of competition, he broke the rules and injured a Saudi rich man and his bodyguard, and offended another mercenary boss.
In order to settle the dispute, he took out all his savings at the time as compensation and left the club with Lavier. They spent a peaceful time in Rome, which was the happiest time in Petru’s life.
But those people did not intend to let him go, and kept sending people to harass and attack him. They had to move, from Rome to Paris, from Liverpool to Munich…
The years of escape were poor and hard, but Lavier had no complaints. She followed Petru willingly, like a dutiful wife. There was no feud between them, but the unwavering love established during those difficult years surpassed all romances in the world.
They regard this period of escape as a happy journey. They visited many countries and cities. Except for being unable to go too far due to poverty, they visited almost all the places they could go in Europe.
Until later they went to Cairo.
Petrou forgot one thing – Egypt belongs to an Arab country, and the Saudi tycoon has strong influence in the Arab world.
They persuaded the Egyptian government to arrest Petroux as a suspected terrorist.
He spent three months in a Cairo jail. At first, Raviye came to see her, but then he stopped coming. He knew that something had happened to Raviye, so on a stormy night, he killed three prison guards and escaped.
Raviye was imprisoned in a villa belonging to a wealthy Saudi man on the outskirts of Cairo. When Petru found her, she had been tortured beyond human form.
In a rage, Petru killed everyone in the villa. After that, he sneaked into the Cairo City Hall and cut into eight pieces the rich man named Mohammed Lazard who was chatting with the mayor there in front of the mayor. His eyes and genitals were knifed. Cut it out and hang it on the flagpole.
This incident made him famous later, but it also solidified his reputation as a terrorist, and he was almost unable to gain a foothold on land, so he embarked on the path of piracy.
A big figure with extraordinary influence in the Arab world was brutally murdered in the city hall of the Egyptian capital in front of the mayor. This incident greatly embarrassed the Egyptian government. Egypt has imposed nationwide martial law and issued a red notice.
Petrou was unable to escape with Raviye during the siege throughout the Arab world. After Raviye gradually recovered physically and mentally, he entrusted her to a Coptic family who believed in Christianity.
He knew that Lavier could not hide for long and that the police would find her soon. But as long as he’s alive, Lavier will be fine. Raviye has become one with Petru, and as long as Petru lives, Raviye can live. The louder the name Petru, the more infamous he is, and the more people he kills and the more brutal he is, the better Lavier will live. Those who intend to do harm to Lavier should always think about the consequences and consider how many years they and their families have to live.
So, Petru went on a killing spree. Before escaping from Egypt, he killed the officials who had helped Lazard capture Lavier, killed the police officers who had done anything to Lavier, and burned down the police station.
So, everyone knew that Petru was a madman. This madman will do anything for his woman!
After escaping Egypt, he came to Somalia and began his pirate career.
His abilities were fully demonstrated on the sea, and he soon gathered a large number of desperadoes. He began to grow his hair and beard, and the name of Redbeard Pettru gradually resounded throughout the Arabian Sea. All ships passing through the Gulf of Aden talked about him cautiously.
As Petru’s fleet grew larger and his wealth grew, he missed Lavier more and more. He even thought about waiting for him to gather a team that could travel across the Indian Ocean, sweep all the way back to Cairo along the Red Sea, and rescue his beauty.
But he knew this was impossible.
In modern society, pirates cannot be as rampant as they were in the Middle Ages. The ones that can really run amok are the fleets of those big countries. They don’t come to destroy you just because you are not old enough.
Petru clearly saw this, so he began to set rules and make friends.
He stipulated that he would only rob merchant ships, not civilian ships; he would only rob one-tenth of the goods at a time, and as long as the people on the ship cooperated, he would never kill anyone; but if he encountered black ships, such as smuggling, human trafficking, and gambling on the high seas, he would Then take them all away without leaving a penny.
However, there are exceptions, and that is when facing passing ships from Saudi Arabia and Egypt, they will rob them all regardless of whether you are black or white. In addition to not killing poor people, he was not so polite to those wealthy Arabs. He just wants the whole world to know that he hates the Arab world, hates Egypt and Saudi Arabia. All his evil deeds were caused by them.
Because of this, he secretly received support from the United States, Russia and the Christian Church, which made him even more prosperous.
