Chapter Twenty-Three: The One-Eyed

Although Tony was reluctant to provoke the bandits, but he was the head snake in the end, after accepting Becker's suggestion, he quickly got on the line with the bandits, as Becker expected, these bandits changed from pirates, and they were not as aggressive as before, and when they learned that Tony asked them to negotiate together, they also showed their intention to negotiate, and after delaying for two days, they gave an accurate time.

The bandits didn't seem to take Tony very seriously, and they didn't worry much about Tony's feast, and after negotiation, the two parties directly agreed to set the negotiation venue at the tavern where Becker and Edmund were entertained before Tony.

"These damn bandits are so bold." Tony strode up the stairwell to the second floor, and complained casually to Becker and Edmund, who were sitting at the window table, "The location is in the village, and they are still here so late, and they don't say that they came early to check if there is an ambush." ”

"As the head snake of the land, we didn't make the effort to drive them out at the beginning, if these bandits are not stupid, contact the negotiation intentions we revealed not long ago, they must have seen that we are not ready to do it next." Becker looked through the window at the movement on the street, and replied without looking back.

When Tony heard this, he couldn't help but scold: "It's really unwilling, it's like we're afraid of them." ”

Becker ignored this sentence, Tony has too many shortcomings common to gangsters, greedy for pleasure is one point, and lustful inwardness is another big shortcoming, not daring to provoke these bandits, but feeling a little ashamed not to show a tough attitude towards the bandits. Always trying to get back the lost face from words, it seems that if you say two cruel words to the thief in front of Becker, the other party can hear it.

After Tony complained, the group of bandits finally came to the tavern slowly, compared to Tony's many younger brothers who almost filled the first floor of the tavern, the number of bandits who went to the meeting occupied a certain disadvantage, but compared to the hooligans who usually only did some "small things" such as extortion, the bandits who had begged for a living on the sea had their own fierce spirit.

A few tall and strong, fierce-looking bandits scattered at the gate as soon as they entered the tavern, easily squeezing a few thugs at the door further in, controlling the entrance and exit, and covering their companions to pour into the tavern in an orderly manner.

The few thugs who were squeezed away were taken by the momentum of the bandits, and they didn't dare to make a color, and moved inside in a gray way, as if they were also a little afraid of these former pirates, and subconsciously wanted to get close to their companions.

Just downstairs, Becker, Edmund and Tony, who were walking on the stairs, happened to take this scene into their eyes, Becker habitually squinted, and Tony's face became a little ugly in an instant because of his uncompetitive little brother.

Tony's men were just a bunch of street thugs, and it was not enough for Becker to face the real outlaws, so he didn't focus on Tony's gang of younger brothers on the first floor, but on the thieves who came in.

More than a dozen people came from the bandits, all of them were strong men, and their clothes were varied, but most of them were wearing light clothes, their clothes were half-open, revealing shaggy chest hair and strange tattoos, and they were equipped with scimitars and short-handled axes around their waists.

A man surrounded by bandits in the middle was tall and mighty, obviously the leader, in his thirties, with slightly curly black hair, a straight nose, and beards on his cheeks, and he looked a little handsome, but his eyes were a little dull.

When Becker, Tony, and Edmund walked in, they found that the bandit leader was just a one-eyeballed look in his eyes.

The bandit leader's right eye was as nimble as a normal person, but his left eye was cold and sluggish like a dead thing—the bandit leader was a one-eyed dragon with a false eye in its left eye socket.

Becker had already learned the name of the bandit leader from Tony, "One-Eyed" Denton.

Denton, the leader of the bandits, glanced coldly around the tavern, and then immediately looked at Becker, Tony, and Edmond as they descended the stairs.

Becker and Tony and Edmund all the way, the minions in the tavern took the initiative to make way for them, which made it difficult for Denton not to pay attention, and he knew that the three of them were the leaders of the gangsters in the tavern, but the youth of the three was still beyond Denton's expectations, especially Becker, who was only about thirteen years old this year.

Denton's one-eyed eyes swept across Becker's still somewhat childish face, and the corners of his mouth immediately tugged, revealing a slightly contemptuous smile, he pulled the bangs that slid to his forehead, and whispered mocking to his left and right men: "It seems that the men have really gone to the sea, and all that is left on the land is a bunch of pus, and a few little children dare to be the boss if they gather some waste." ”

Several of Denton's subordinates laughed when they heard this, and they didn't pay much attention to Becker and the others.

Denton lowered his voice and spoke to his subordinates, Becker and the others did not hear what he said clearly, seeing that several pirates suddenly laughed, Becker, Tony, and Edmund all looked puzzled, but they still stepped forward and greeted Denton and the other bandits.

Although Denton looked down on Becker and the others, he didn't seem to be ready to make a move, and greeted Becker and the others with a group of subordinates who didn't smile.

After greeting, Becker and Tony stretched out their hands, and Denton raised his chin slightly, instructed his subordinates to watch the gate and stairs, and led several cronies to the second floor with Becker and others.

On the second floor, some melons, fruits and wine had been placed, and a few people sat down, and Denton crossed Erlang's legs and asked for a glass of water, and when the smiling Becker handed him the water, he saw him slowly pull out the false eyeball from his eye socket, throw it into a glass with water and soak it, and stared at the eyeball rolling in the wine with his right eye and the empty left eye socket.

Edmund turned his face sideways when he saw this, Tony also moved a little uncomfortably, Becker didn't react, he was a good person, and he knew that Denton's move must be deliberate, and he wanted to get off the horse and increase the momentum of the negotiation.

Denton stared at his prosthetic eyes and asked without raising his head, "What are you kids looking for me for?" Afraid that we will rob this village and want to buy peace with money? Why did you children come forward, there are no adults in your village? ”

Edmond City Mansion is not deep, and when he heard Denton's implicit sarcastic words, his face was angry, although Tony was not like Edmund, his face also looked a little gloomy.

Only Becker knew that Edmund was angry without looking at it, he patted Edmund on the shoulder, and said to Denton with a smile on his face: "You want to rob the village, you have already robbed it, and you still have to wait until now?" Besides, our gang of people have knives and guns, and they are all men, and Ping An doesn't need money to buy them, so I came to you because I wanted to negotiate business with you. ”

"Hah!" Denton peeled a peanut and threw it in his mouth, grinning, he thought Tony should be the leader of the three, but now it seems that the youngest Becker is the core, "What business is there to talk about with pirates, there is only one business for pirates, robbing things, what do you want to be robbed?" ”

Tony, who had always had a gloomy face, couldn't stand Denton's contemptuous attitude, slammed the cigar in his hand, and said angrily: "You dare to come and try to rob me?" ”

Becker smiled slightly and frowned, he had already told Tony that he was in charge of the negotiations and negotiations, and he also listened to his instructions, but he didn't expect Tony to agree at that time, and he left it behind in a blink of an eye.

Becker motioned to Tony not to interject again, and Tony scolded and wanted to say something, but looked at the expressionless Becker for a while, and finally quieted down unwillingly.

Denton was not angry with Tony's appearance before, and looked at the two of them with a little interest, seeing that Tony was reluctantly appeased by Becker, he spun around with one eye, not knowing what to think.
