“Oh do you listen to yourself?” Jack had dealt with his fair share of liars and thieves but never had he met a man so adept at conning himself as this man before him now. “We had a partnership that was formed on one stipulation – one single and solitary rule and that is I don’t transport slaves. I told you no, you gave me a ship anyway, and then told me to do the thing I previously said no to, and now you’re whining on about trust as if you actually believe a man would go against his morals just cause you bat your pretty lashes on him. I’ve got news for you mate – the world has never managed itself in such a manner, and it never shall. It may feel like it does, but I assure you – it really doesn’t.”
