Come.

"Of course, this is Mr. George, the owner of the Rogue Trader fleet, and these are Mr. Jefferson and Captain Thomas." Cole said, raising his hand to gesture to the gentlemen beside him. They were all stunned for a moment. First of all,

The person who reacted was the experienced Mr. George. He seemed to have been a rogue trader for a while and knew that he should stay calm at this time.

He cleared his throat and nodded politely to Vito with his face wearing one-sided gold-rimmed glasses. He bowed slightly and said humbly, "Ah, hello, Mr. Inquisitor, I am the captain and captain of the Mayflower merchant ship.

Boss, these two are my subordinates, responsible for the Charter and the Freedom of Navigation respectively."

"Well, the name of your ship has a meaning. It means freedom of navigation. As a result, the cultists who yearned for "freedom" rebelled." Vito mentioned this topic very directly and straightforwardly. This Mr. Jefferson

and Mr. Thomas were scared to death. Although Vito always smiled, in their opinion, when an inquisitor smiles at you, it is simply a death announcement.

But as I said, Captain George remained completely calm. Although Vito could see that he was also frightened, because according to convention, if a chaos rebellion occurs on a ship, even if it is suppressed, the responsible person

There is also a high probability that the captain will be shot. Whether it is dereliction of duty or condoning a cult, the end will not be good.

George cleared his throat and calmly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, "Ah, yes, sir, I cannot deny that a Chaos rebellion did occur on our ship, but praise the Emperor's Light, who guided us and defeated the enemy.

.”

He stuttered a bit, and it could be seen that he was still very nervous. Very good. This is the effect Vito wanted. The Lord Inquisitor raised a hand and looked at the three people in front of him, "What kind of goods are you transporting? If you can

Tell me."

Of course, can you still refuse? Refuse an inquisitor, now?

"Minerals, industrial products and some machinery. We have just completed the trade from one forging world and are preparing to move to the next world to change hands."

"Which world?" Vito asked calmly, but although the voice was calm, it was also full of feelings that made several people nervous. This time it was not Captain George who spoke, but Mr. Jefferson who subconsciously spoke out of fear.

, what people say subconsciously when they are afraid are often the truth.

"Check the Charlesk Galaxy, sir, check."

"If I remember correctly, Mr. George, the Charlesk Galaxy is a feudal world and has mechanical production capabilities, right? But you plan to sell them a batch of "industrial products" from the forged world. As far as I am concerned about the feudal world

They don’t know much about operating complex machinery.”

Vito said, pointing to the opposite side of the trestle, "And judging from the damage to your ship's hull, the rebels armed with steel rods and homemade broken weapons are not capable of that kind of lethality, and your Mechanic Priest is dead.

You still have to ask us for help and escorts. Your captain may be transporting industrial goods. Not that. Industrial goods."

"Weapons." Bell said coldly behind Vito. The moment the word was spoken, the three businessmen seemed to be petrified. They looked at Vito in horror. They couldn't act like that, even Mr. George.

, and is no longer calm.

Vito shook his finger. He walked up to Mr. George and gently put his hand on his shoulder. For a moment, Mr. George's whole body trembled subconsciously. He looked at the judge beside him with fear, and his heart was in his throat.

"The laws of the empire clearly stipulate that it is prohibited to sell or transport weapons privately, let alone selling them to a feudal world for use in civil war. What do you think? You think it is boring for the locals to attack with swords, so you plan to provide a friendly sponsorship to let them

Instead, shoot with a gun?" Vito said with a cold smile, his hand gently pressing on the bolter on his waist.

George was surprised when he heard the sound of neatly raising guns. The stormtroopers deliberately raised their guns and made a loud noise. The businessmen looked at the stormtroopers in front of them in astonishment. They felt that the iron wall behind them was about to come.

It has become my own execution wall.

Cole stood aside indifferently, looking at the frightened Rogue Trader in front of him, especially George who was holding his shoulder next to Vito. He quietly approached George's ear and said, "You know what the consequences of such crimes are.

?Mr. George."

"Your Majesty, please forgive us. I am willing to offer my wealth to me." "Are you trying to bribe an inquisitor? Bribery an emperor's inquisitor? You are more courageous than I thought, Mr. George."

Vito's last tone became extremely sharp and high-pitched. George was so frightened that his legs were weak. He could almost conclude that he was about to be shot with a high probability. His legs were shaking like a big man, and he was so scared that he almost lost his soul.

.

But suddenly, Vito changed the topic and smiled, "But, considering that you managed to escape from the subspace storm and did not join the traitors or fall into chaos under such circumstances, I can, for the sake of your loyalty,

A mercy outside the law."

Vito leaned close to George's ear and smiled, "How many weapons do you have on your ship?" "There are two regiments, sir, both regiments, both light and heavy weapons." "Good guy, you bribed the star port of the forging world.

Controller, right? These things were originally given to a certain Astra Militarum, right? You stole the army's supplies, do you know how many people will be killed?"

"Sir, we acknowledge our mistake and we regret it to you." George's legs suddenly became so weak that he knelt down. Vito stood beside him and chuckled. He leaned down and got close to the trembling George in front of him.

"This is a turbulent era, Mr. George, so in the name of the Emperor, I will not execute you this time. All your weapons have been detained and confiscated. Give the list to our military commander, Colonel York, who will be responsible.

Anyway, I advise you not to play tricks, because there are still two Space Marines on your ship."

Vito whispered softly, Mr. George nodded repeatedly, and the remaining two businessmen also nodded, "Thank you, sir, thank you." "Don't be in a hurry to thank me. All your voyage records, especially the subspace voyage records, must be handed over."

come out."

"Sir, this." George immediately wanted to quibble. All merchants, especially rogue traders, do not like to hand over their voyage records, because believe me, most records may lead to them being shot. Unauthorized trade

, smuggling, and even private contact with alien races to sell goods.

"Why, do you have any other opinions? Mr. George, do you have any secrets?" Vito asked with a sneer. His smile made George dare not make any further rebuttal. He could only shake his head mechanically.

, and stammered.

"Honorable, respectful, my lord, we will hand over the records, I just ask you not to." "I said, I won't execute you, not yet, unless you make me feel regretful."

Vito smiled and looked at George beside him, who quickly shook his head, "I swear, you will not be disappointed. I swear, in the name of the emperor." "I believe you won't, so what are you still doing here?

?It's time for you to take care of the rest."

Vito said and patted George on the shoulder. He watched the judge raise his hand slightly and stood up quickly. He nodded and bowed to Vito and was about to call his men to leave, but he was pulled back by Vito just as he turned around.

.

Vito touched his chin, and then pointed at Bell behind him, the indifferent Space Marine. George also looked at him with cold sweat all over his body, "For your safety, he will follow you. After all, on your ship,

Maybe it's not safe yet, he will ensure that your navigation data can be safely and properly handed over to me."

Bell walked to George without saying a word. He looked down at George. The merchants were frightened by the look down from a Space Marine. Vito patted him on the shoulder, "Go ahead, don't make me wait too long."

Vito turned and walked to the side, while Bell stepped forward and stood in front of a few people. He signaled to a few friends, and the businessmen nervously walked into the trestle. They were frightened and were "escorted" by an Ultramarine into the bridge.

Cole looked at the leaving businessmen with their hands behind their backs and said, "Congratulations, Marshal, you have once again successfully secured the equipment of two regiments."

"It's just daily work, just daily work, Cole." Vito patted him on the shoulder lightly, and then walked over with a smile.
