Chapter 228: Transaction
In McGregan's slaughterhouse, Planck was peeling oranges with a knife, each one clean.
Today he was invited to the slaughterhouse, and he was able to invite the Pirate King himself, and the other party was quite capable.
The slaughterhouse was filled with the smell of fish in the water, but Planck was used to it. The Abyss was parked around the slaughterhouse all year round, and the foul smell had become accustomed to his nose.
Maybe his sense of smell may be out of order, but he can always smell the source of the fishy smell.
The person who invited him to come had not yet appeared, and Planck was neither arrogant nor impatient, and continued to peel the oranges one by one. In Bilgewater, no one dared to let go of his pigeons to provoke him.
No, there is such a person.
The attacker who had appeared not long ago hadn't been seen under pressure for more than a month, and the Scales Hunters hadn't sent back any news about her, and there was nothing they could do with her as long as she didn't show up with Planck.
It's a pity that he didn't leave a single alive when he killed Fu Qiong's family, otherwise he would have been caught and hung on the mast now, and I believe that the attacker would soon be unable to sit still.
"Please hand over all your weapons, that's the rule of negotiation." The sound of thugs came from the door, and Planck raised his eyelids and glanced slightly out of the door.
An old witch, dressed in rotten clothes overgrown with seafood, like the living dead in the ocean. She had a sea snake cane in her hand, and a one-eyed octopus lying above her head was staring at Planck for a moment with its large yellow eyes.
Planck felt wisdom from the creature's gaze, from beneath the depths of the sea.
"You don't have to be so strict with an old woman, it's just a cane, let her in."
Hearing Planck's voice, the thug retracted behind the door.
The Sea Witch did not need crutches, she floated in barefoot, her feet suspended on the ground three feet high.
But even then, she was not as tall as Planck.
As soon as she entered, she stared at Planck with cloudy, empty eyes. Even though Planck had been raiding the Twelve Seas for so many years, it was the first time he had seen such a strange person.
However, he put on a calm face, sat down and continued to peel the orange peel...... But in fact, in the dark compartment of his red coat, there was also a loaded large-caliber pistol, which was the same gun that the attacker had left behind that day.
The so-called rules of negotiation are meant to be broken. But even without the gun, Planck could easily throw the knife into the eye of the terrifying octopus.
"So, Sea Witch, what are you doing with me?"
The Sea Witch did not immediately answer Planck's question, but she poked her cane, and a hole appeared out of thin air above the table, and a pile of old coins, ancient relics, and rare gems fell with a clatter.
Although it was covered in patina, barnacles and dried seaweed, it was worth enough to cover months of income at the slaughterhouse.
Even so, Planck remained unmoved. TVmobile/
Don't seem too anxious.
He looked away from the treasure on the table and said, "What do you want for such a good reward?" ”
Sea Witch stared at him with cloudy, empty eyes. Then the creature lying on her head blinked its golden eyes.
"Two rats, a sacrifice for the behemoth of the sea." Said the witch hoarsely said, "Bring them, these, plus more, all with you." ”
"What about two rats?" Planck asked.
"One has a stack of cards in his hand, it's beautiful, and it's shiny. The other was holding a huge gun. Said the sea witch.
Planck rose from his chair like a colossus rising from the abyss.
"I'll use all my connections to find them." Planck's eyes lit up with scarlet, and he felt a rare sense of excitement.
Of course he knew these two rats.
Planck had always looked up to a quick-handed thief like Trist, and it would be nice for Graves to do some rough work, but it was a pity that neither of them wanted to do things for anyone.
The Sea Witch left the deposit and left, while Planck remained sitting in MacGregan's slaughterhouse, staring at the pile of treasure on the table.
In fact, he didn't value wealth very much, and there was his warehouse on the slaughterhouse, which was full of curiosities he had scavenged from the twelve seas, and he couldn't see the top: glowing armor, exotic art, and dazzling silks...... Everything is worth the money.
He was more concerned with what came after the treasure.
I don't know who came out of it, anyway, the news that the sea witch lost the Abyss Crown has already spread in Bilgewater, and even Planck has heard about it.
But no one knows who stole the crown, and they don't even know if the rumors are true or not, so they just laugh at it.
And now the sea witch came to the door in person and asked him to help catch two people.
Her personal presence confirms the rumors, and it is clear that Trist and Graves stole the Sea Witch's guarded crown.
In order for Bilgewater to remain firmly in his hands, Planck must claim the Abyss Crown.
And with the crown, he can control the behemoths of the sea; With the Behemoth, he was able to control the flow of water in Bilgewater and no longer had to worry about the sea beast's attack. Even the fish that escaped from his hands didn't want to hide anymore.
Meanwhile, at an inn, Graves and Trist don't know they've been targeted.
Trist crossed his hands behind his head, worried that he wouldn't be able to get out of the city.
Now the city is full of storms, and they are all talking about the Abyss Crown, although they are not specified. But if this matter can be leaked, Karn and the two must have escaped alive.
They wanted to leave Piraeus for Pia, but Planck did not know what was going on, so he ordered the port to be blocked, and ships were not allowed to sail out of the harbor with too much food, and only to move in the waters around Bilgewater.
"I said you should have done it in the first place, and now everyone knows about it." Trist complained while lying on the bed, causing Graves to slam the table with his fist.
"You were holding cards in your hand, but why didn't you do it with just your fingers? Even if you don't want to get your hands dirty, just seal the hole! Graves glared at Trist, admitting that he had relented, but that wasn't a reason for Trist to throw the cauldron all over him.
He is doing all the dirty work, and Triste, the son of a bitch, can't share a little?
"If you don't take so many treasures in the cave, you have to take this unlucky crown. Now it's okay, because of it, we can't even get out of the city. ”
"Who said I didn't take it? Didn't I invite you to a drink the night I came back? Graves slammed the table again, it wasn't his own anyway, he didn't feel distressed.
"And then?"
"Those golden krakens came out of the hole."
"It's not...... There are so many treasures in the cave, how many golden krakens do you have? Trist sat up from his bed and stared at Graves' beard.
