"Hey, buddy, I remember your name was Manhattan, didn't you?" asked Kane as he turned to the lewd man he was holding.

The lewd man was a little distracted, and he didn't know what to think, but it definitely wouldn't be an escape.

"Hey, hey, hey—" Kane patted Manhattan on the shoulder.

"Huh?"

"Thinking about your unmarried wife?" Kane said playfully to the lewd man next to him.

"What, are you talking about me?" Manhattan seemed to come to his senses.

"Who else?" Kane was a little angry, but more like a kid who had just found a new toy, but Kane covered it up well.

Kane asked again, "Manhattan?"

The lewd man nodded and said, "Yes, my name is Manhattan Bycon." ”

"Baiken, what a rare surname. Kane felt a little familiar when he heard this rare surname, as if he had heard it somewhere, but he couldn't remember it very well. Who has nothing to do for a day to remember the ordinary passers-by who pass you. Unless the other party can surprise your eyeballs, the same is true for Kane.

"You must have heard the surname Bycon, Osaen Byken, the family of the ruling prime minister of the Rhône Empire at the end of the last century. Manhattan said the name of the ruling prime minister with a dejected expression.

"I seem to have the impression that you say that, the hated wretched creature who was later hanged by the blood-stained mob?" Kane said to Manhattan next to him, a matter known to all the citizens of the Northern El Federation.

Manhattan's face turned a little red and looked a little angry, and he tried to open his mouth several times, but he forced it to close. At last he hung his head and said, "Yes, he is a poor creature indeed. He also implicated the entire Bycan family. ”

"I apologize if I offended you just now. Kane realized that his words weren't appropriate.

"It's okay, that's what everyone said. Osaen Byken was indeed a wretched creature. Manhattan lowered his head even more, his hair covering his face.

"Uh...... I've heard a little bit about that. His ambition is a bit chilling, but at least he used to be recognized. Kane comforted the guy who had a bit of an inferiority complex.

"No, he's always been a nasty bastard. Manhattan clenched his fists, and the words burst out of the clenched crown of his teeth.

"Who is he? It should be not shallow to be related to you, right?" Although Kane knew that he was a bit suspicious of salting his wound when he asked like this, he was really too curious about the previous incident, which was related to the previous war, the Black Thieves had received a mission at that time, and participated in the hiring of the Northern Alliance, and Kane also participated, together with his father.

Klell and Lena were also brought back from that war. Kane had just turned ten years old, and when he first met Lena and Kleel, the two little girls were so thin that they were almost like sticks, with dirty faces, and they were very similar in age, a few months younger than Kane.

"That guy is my grandfather. Manhattan kept his head down, and Kane couldn't see his expression.

"What's your name, sir?" Manhattan seemed to want to get past the subject that upset him.

"Kane, Kane Evans. You've probably heard of Candal Evans, the pirate-turned-Grand Lord adventurer, who is my father. Kane introduced himself to Manhattan next to him, not wanting to hide his identity because it wasn't necessary.

Manhattan's eyes widened at this point, and he looked at Kane, feeling a little incredible. He is the son of the Pirate King, the legendary yet controversial adventurer, the son of Candal. Manhattan circled Kane twice, looking up and down.

"Surprised? I don't think anyone would pretend to be a pirate's son, right? Kane said to Manhattan.

Manhattan looked at it for a long time, still surprised. "No, no, Lord Kane, it's me who is too narrow-minded to recognize your noble identity, please forgive me, and what happened before, I sincerely apologize to you, I hope you can forgive me and abduct you to Sheehan's gang, but this is not my intention, I was also threatened by these people. At that time, many of Sheen's people were helping him keep an eye on him, and I couldn't help it, if I didn't do this, I would be beaten half to death by them later, please forgive me. By the time he said this, Manhattan's upper body had bent ninety degrees toward Kane.

"It's nothing, I can tell, otherwise they wouldn't have robbed you of your money. Kane said, helping Manhattan to his feet.

"Thank you, sir!"

"Don't call me that, it's unpleasant. Just call me Kane, I'm just a pirate's son. "It's the first time Kane has felt that his father's name is so good, and he has never felt this way before.

"Okay, Lord Kane...... Mr. Kane. ”

Kane looked at Manhattan in front of him, and suddenly thought of his background, and what he had said before. Then he quietly asked tentatively, "Manhattan, is that Miss Isha really your unmarried wife?"

Manhattan's expression suddenly became very decadent, and he said in a very low mood: "Yes, before the family fell, I had a marriage contract with her, but it was abolished a long time ago. ”

Kane was curious, he wanted to hear about this history, and although it was tantamount to rubbing salt in Manhattan's wounds, Kane wanted to do it for some reason. Maybe it's nature, the shameless heredity of pirates?

Manhattan was a little difficult to speak, but looking at Kane's inquisitive expression, he still said: "You know, when my grandfather, Osayne, was still in power, the Byrne family was still prosperous and powerful, and extremely wealthy. I was fifteen years old at the time, and our Beacon family and Miss Isa's Bellael family had always been politically friendly, and both of them had business dealings with each other. In order to promote political cooperation between the two families, we entered into a marriage contract with their Belar family. It's me and Miss Isa. But I never met her, and I was not in a good reputation at the time, and after I was betrothed to young Miss Isa, I was so interested in my own pleasure that I never noticed her. The bloody war that was provoked later was caused by my grandfather's ambition, you know, our Northern Federation was in a tense state with the Southern Alliance at that time, and our army did not have much to garrison at the edge of the Black Fog Forest. The violent inhabitants of the blood-stained lands have manipulated demonic beasts to attack our city-state, killing them enormously. ”

"Well, I know all of this, I was involved in this war at the time, can I skip these things?" Kane was obviously not interested in listening to these old experiences.

"As a result, Mr. Kane should also know that my grandfather was surrendered as one of the demands of the armistice. Although our northern coalition forces later suppressed the war and banished the blood-stained inhabitants into the depths of the Black Mist Forest, our northern forces also suffered heavy losses. "Grandpa instigated the war, so he also set up a lot of political enemies, and after my grandfather's death, our family was the first to be liquidated by political enemies. The family began to decline slowly, and when the truth of the war was revealed, our family began to be hated by the citizens, so the decline accelerated even faster. It wasn't until three years ago, after the complete decline of our family. The Berar family proposed to dissolve the marriage contract with our family, and soon after the dissolution of the marriage contract, our family was attacked and bloodbathed by political enemies, and I was the only one who survived. "Homeless, I began to wander around until the Ruhr City, that is, six months ago, I heard a rumor that the Rabelle family had also been implicated because of political discord and the close cooperation they had with us. Just as the Rabelle family was about to be liquidated by our family's former political enemies, Miss Isa ran for the president of the Murder Nightclub with the strength of a fifth-order fighter, and in the same month, with the help of her family, she became the deputy mayor of Ruhr City. Therefore, those political opponents will not dare to act rashly for a while. ”

"I also saw her on the day she was elected president......"

"Do you regret it?" Kane asked.

Manhattan nodded, but quickly shook his head again.

"Miss Isa's family?" Kane asked again.

"Their family is centered around Miss Isa's father, whose father is Lucius Rabelle, a counts of the Rhône Empire and one of the consuls of the Rhône Empire. As long as they marry Miss Isa, they can get the support of Lord Lucius, and their family and Miss Isha's adventurous armed forces are for a politician...... You should know that, Lord Kane," Manhattan said to Kane.

"The morality of these politicians is really, it's a headache. Kane said, clutching his head.

"You should have a way to get me into the Murder Club, right?" asked Kane as he turned to Manhattan.

"See Miss Isa?" Manhattan looked depressed, looking in a bad mood. Also, after all, his former fiancée is now being pursued like this, and he is obviously very unhappy in his heart.

Kane knew that Manhattan was obviously thinking crookedly, so he hurriedly said: "No, I went in to pick up the mission, but you have seen everything before, the door of the murderous nightclub is blocked, and it seems that it is difficult to get in." ”

"Mission?" Manhattan was visibly confused.

"Yes, the task commission will only be taken by the adventurers of the Adventurer's Guild, if they take on private work, who can be sure that the client is not a shameless person who is unwilling to pay? Kane explained to Manhattan.

"I'm not referring to this, I still know a lot about adventurers, I mean, since Miss Isha became the president, there have been few missions in the Murder Nightclub, and there have been no missions for half a year now, and the number of missions released so far has not exceeded ten. Manhattan said to Kane.

"What?"
