Chapter 98: Intelligence Trading
A week later, at night
Milingling Island, the city that never sleeps
Although the sun had set, the sky was no longer as blue and clear as the sea, but plunged into darkness. The faintly twinkling stars and the moon in the sky www.biquge.info not illuminating the earth, but they also add a touch of color to the city that never sleeps.
The city that never sleeps is brightly lit, the streets are full of stalls, and there are also dense crowds.
It's so far from daytime that if people who don't know come to see the city that never sleeps, they will definitely not think it's the same city. Who would have thought that there would be a city with few pedestrians during the day and a noisy city at night.
On one street, seven men wearing robes and hoods who couldn't see their gender clearly, quickly walked through. This outfit is absolutely strange and eye-catching elsewhere, but everyone is used to it here.
After all, what they are doing is not above board, and no one wants their trading information to be stolen because of their negligence in dressing.
The seven of them came to a stall.
The stall owner also wore a hood, so that no one could see the real face, and he said without the slightest emotion: "What is needed?" ”
The person on the left side of the group of seven people replied coldly: "We have information, we will find a channel to sell." ”
"Intelligence, at what level?" the stall owner asked.
The man on the left, still on the left, replied, "Three A-grades." ”
The stall owner was silent, scrubbing back and forth on the table in front of him: "I guess you know the consequences of selling false information. ”
The man on the left put his right hand into his hood, as if pushing his glasses: "Of course I know, then please hurry up and arrange it, the more this information is delayed, the more valuable it is." ”
Suddenly, the stall owner took out a musket from the table and pointed it at the man in charge, and fired without hesitation.
"Bang!"
At such a close distance, the bullet would tear open half of the man's stomach if nothing else.
And this puzzling scene didn't even make any passers-by look at it more, as if it were a normal thing.
The bullet fell to the ground.
Right at the feet of the leading man.
Even if you count the time for the stall owner to take out his gun and shoot, this killing process is only a second or two, and there is no time for people to react. The stall owner didn't understand what was going on, but it was probably possible that the bullet had been blocked.
The stall owner couldn't believe it, after all, he didn't see the man do anything at all. Could it be ...... He didn't have any defense at all, so he just forced the stall owner to shoot a bullet into the chest?
Is his body made of steel?
The stall owner swallowed, put away his musket, and said in a more respectful tone, "Please come with me." ”
The city that never sleeps, the attic of a certain building
"It's a great honor to meet you, but first of all, I would like to introduce myself, my name is North. A man in a suit and leather shoes who looked a little weak introduced himself very enthusiastically.
"Hello. The leader replied politely, grabbing the hood with both hands and pulling it down, and the rest of the group began to do the same, "My name is Rhodes." ”
North sat on the sofa opposite Rhodes, crossed his legs and said, "Rhodes, I remember that there is a pirate group on this route called the Rhodes Pirates, you ......"
"If you're talking about the pirates who made a big fuss about Marlenyat, defeated the Vortex Pirates, and indirectly caused chaos on Green Island, then I don't think it's the same name. Rhodes replied that it had only been a week, and he had become unpredictable, faintly changing towards the hero.
"It's so good, I didn't expect it to be you. North was pleasantly surprised, as if he had found a treasure.
"Why do you look salivating. Rhodes frowned, he hated this feeling, it was like being targeted as a prey, which always brought Rhodes a sense of unease and restraint.
North choked on this: "Uh...... No, no, no, I don't have that idea. ”
"Then get down to business first, three A-level intelligence. Rhodes said impatiently.
As for the hierarchy of intelligence, Rhodes learned about it at the revolutionary army station.
There are five levels of intelligence, which are S, A, B, C, and D. Each level is set according to several aspects such as the character, strength, attention, and uniqueness designed in the intelligence.
A-level intelligence can be sold for hundreds of millions of berry, which is not expensive at all, and people in the black market have channels, and after receiving the information, they will look for the forces that need this information, and it is not strange that the price of selling it will be several times more expensive than the purchase price.
North breathed heavily, three A-level intelligence, he had never received such a big order again! As long as he resold it, he could make huge profits, which was really good!
"I can make sure it's safe here, so you can rest assured that you can tell the information. North said, clasping his hands together, presumably nervous.
"First, there is a guy named Titch in the Whitebeard Pirates who killed Thatch, the captain of the fourth team of the Whitebeard Pirates, and then fled to the Great Passage, where he was wanted by the Whitebeard forces. Rhodes actually doesn't know if this thing Titch did has been spread or not, but first, if this is not rare information, then say anything else, anyway, as a person who has read the original One Piece book in his previous life, it is not a problem for him to think about a few more A-level information.
"The Whitebeard Pirates?!The captain of Team Four has been killed?!" North exclaimed, looking like he didn't know the news before.
"The second, Whitebeard Pirates' second captain, Fire Fist Ace, went to hunt down Titch without permission, and if nothing else, he is now on the Great Voyage. Rhodes continued.
And North was hurrying to record.
"The third. "This Rhodes is the most bottomless, he recalled that more than ten days ago, the Seven Martial Sea Conference said that Luffy defeated the Sand Crocodile, so it is not far from Ace's defeat, right? ”
"What?!Fire Fist Ace was defeated and captured?!" Compared to the previous two pieces of information, this last one was the most powerful, and in a short period of time, the Fire Fist Ace, who was offered a reward of 550 million, was actually defeated by a little-known guy from the Whitebeard Pirates?
"Three A-level intelligence, we don't want money, you just need to answer our three questions. Rhodes took a turn of words, catching North off guard.
North was stunned and thought to himself where such a good thing could be, and he said, "If I know it, and it doesn't exceed the A level, I can tell you." ”
"Okay, first question, tell me the composition of the forces of the dark world. ”
"What are you kidding?!"
