Chapter 174: Focus
When the auction resumes, Nami and the others plan to take Kemi away, after all, in this kind of place, Kemi's mermaid identity is too sensitive, and if it is accidentally exposed, it will cause endless trouble. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ info Moreover, Nami is also quite unsettling about human trafficking, and if it weren't for the presence of the Tenryu, they wouldn't be able to help but want to take care of it. But for now, it's better to get into less trouble.
"Let's go. β
Seeing that John didn't move, Nami's eyes narrowed,
"What? Do you want to take a few more beautiful pictures and bring them all back to the ship to live like a king?"
"Ahem, they all said it was a misunderstanding. John hurriedly explained, "Don't you see that Kidd and Luo are still here, and the purpose of my coming here has not been fulfilled." β
"Do we need to pay attention to this kind of thing? Or do you want to compete with them later and take pictures of their targets? Aren't you afraid of offending those two guys?" Nami exclaimed, she didn't support this kind of risky thing at all, especially if it cost money!
"Okay. John was helpless, "But I still can't leave now." β
"Why?" Nami wondered.
John shrugged,
"I've taken so many shots in front, and I haven't paid the money yet. Leaving now is bound to cause trouble, and it's better to wait until the auction is over and deliver the money before leaving. Don't worry, I'll set all the slaves free, not a single one!" John added.
Nami's eyelids jumped, and she leaned closer to John and whispered,
"Can't you sneak away if you really want to give money? Can't you sneak away? Aren't you invisible? Otherwise, we'll go first, and then you can find a chance to sneak away. β
When it comes to money, Nami is reluctant, since John has such a convenient skill, why not eat the "Overlord Meal" when he can eat it. Of course, Nami would be more or less acceptable if the money was spent, but the problem now is that John is simply using the money to waste it. All the slaves you bought can't be used, so you can release them directly, even if you do good deeds, you don't have to spend so much!
"Yes, I'm going to meet the plane. John nodded in response.
In this way, John stayed alone, and the others took Kemi away first. This time, under careful vigilance, I believe that Kemi will not be so easily abducted again.
But John didn't expect that not long after Kemi and the others went out, Nami came back again. Along with him, there is Robin, who continues to play her role as a light bulb steadfastly.
"I had an idea. Nami whispered.
"Oh?" John suddenly had a bad premonition.
"Isn't this an auction house, aren't there many people who will give money after the auction, and when the time comes, there will definitely be a huge amount of cash in the auction house!" Nami said, her eyes already turned into coins, "The human trade is really bad, and all the auction house earns is ill-gotten gains, do you think we can γγγγγγ How's it going? I came up with the idea, and you'll do it later, and I'll give you a split afterwards!"
βγγγγγγ β
John's hunch came true. Originally, this was a rare opportunity for him to save his private money, and if he was lucky, maybe after this vote, he would not only be able to pay off Nami's debts, but also squander the rest. But John ignored the things that even a fake money fan like him could think of, Nami, a real money fan, could not think of?
"Isn't it too little?" In desperation, John could only try to fight for his own interests.
"What? I haven't even thought about what happened just now, and you still want to take more?" Nami said coldly, wanting to "cheat" money from her, even John couldn't do it!
"I'm acting alone, and the risk is still so big, at least I should be fifty or fifty points. β
John haggles, and while the two are arguing, several rounds of auctions have passed, and John's target, Reilly, finally appears on the stage.
Wow!
There was a burst of boos at the scene, which attracted John's attention, in the eyes of this group of people who have no vision, such an old man can also be sold for money?
"The starting price, 50,000 Baileys. β
Hearing such a price, John almost didn't squirt. But in my heart, I feel a lot better, even the Hades King Reilly is only worth this amount of money, and his John's bounty is actually not low. Although the two are completely incomparable.
However, in the eyes of others,
"Such an old man can also be worth fifty thousand?"
"You can't be out of stock, are you?"
"What if I buy it back and die directly?"
The host was also a little embarrassed for a while, but out of dedication, he kept bragging about what he was old and strong.
John, who was still bargaining with Nami just now, was probably a little excited, for fear that the good things would be robbed, so he subconsciously raised his card to offer.
"Five hundredγγγγγ β
"What are you doing!" Nami quickly pinched John hard to stop the guy from going crazy.
So John changed his words,
"Five hundred thousand. β
One is that he doesn't want Nami to be too careful, and the second John doesn't want to be too eye-catching, after all, a bad old man directly pays such a high price, and a blind person can see that there is a problem. It's just that John forgot that this isn't the first time he's made a bid today. For John, who had a mess before, it was not strange for others to pay 500,000 yuan to shoot a bad old man.
Of course, there are more exaggerated ones. The host didn't know whether he was really stupid or fake, and suddenly shouted,
"Five and a half million! This discerning gentleman has five and a half million, is there anything higher?
Seeing that this guy was in such a hurry and wanted to count down, it was obviously deliberate, for fear that John would regret it. Coming here is either rich or expensive, even if it is just a slip of the tongue, for the sake of face, he has to fight to the end, the host calculated this correctly, so he pretended to be stupid and shouted out the number of 5.5 million directly.
Worst!
John secretly said no. He didn't care about the money, nor was he worried that Nami would scold him for it, but such a bid was so eye-catching that in the eyes of unsuspecting others, John was obviously suspected of stealing the limelight. Because the female companion around him has changed, are you planning to be in the limelight again? This stunned young boy, is he really not afraid of angering the Tianlong people?
For a while, everyone, including John, looked nervously at Lulia Palace in the VIP area.
However, I don't know if Lulia Palace didn't notice this situation at all, or if she had forgotten about the previous trivial matter. He didn't even tilt his head, and this incident didn't make Lulia Palace react in any way.
"Whew!" John breathed a sigh of relief, but fortunately it wasn't self-defeating. On the stage, the host also counted down, and John successfully photographed Hades Reilly at a price of 5.5 million. Reilly has been smiling since he came to power, and no one knows what he's thinking. However, since Reilly has paid attention to Luffy, he may have recognized John.
meanwhile
Luo: "This old man, it seems... β
Kidd: "It's not easy. β
And a plainclothes navy in the corner of the auction house is contacting the headquarters,
"Hades Reilly was taken away by John, the deputy captain of the Straw Hat Pirates, I don't know if it was intentional or a coincidence. β
The Navy had actually found out about Reilly's appearance in the auction house, but it didn't want to provoke the two legends (Whitebeard and Reilly) at the same time, so they didn't act rashly. However, the necessary attention is certainly indispensable. John didn't realize it, and before he knew it, he had already become the real focus!
