Chapter 38: Misfortune

"Let's go, let's go somewhere else," Merlin didn't think she could actually get inside, and she didn't want to see Keya like Roland, so she didn't think it was a pity.

Roland answered, and was about to turn away, when suddenly, the foot he had just lifted was lowered again, for he caught a glimpse of a little girl in the garden looking at this side with wide eyes.

A playful long pale blonde hair, a light-colored dress, and a small watering can in fair-skinned little hands, watering the flowers.

Although she is still a little girl, it is clear that this is Keya.

At this time, her parents are still alive and healthy, and the whole person looks very energetic, which is very different from the temperament when she appeared in the anime.

Seeing that she had been staring at her side, Roland couldn't help but smile and wink at her, and then saw her laugh a little, and quickly covered her mouth and looked at Roland with a curious expression.

Finally met, so, it can be regarded as satisfying the little wish in my heart, although it is just a passing by, and I may forget about myself in a few days, but it is nothing, Roland raised his foot again, turned and left.

Merlene naturally joined him.

After that, because most of the places they should visit have been visited, and the supplies they need have been prepared, they decided to find Waji, and then, it was almost time to go to sea.

However, before finding Waji, something happened.

Not far from the entrance of the village, near the place where Roland and the villagers had just met, there was another large group of people gathered there, and the noise was so loud that Roland and the others could hear it from a long distance.

"Something seems to have happened, do you want to go over and see?" Roland said, he was a little curious, could it be that some strange guy had landed on the island?

"Hmm," Merlin nodded, equally curious.

The two quickly ran over, only to see that in the center of the crowd, there were two sides of people facing each other.

At the head of one side was a slightly wealthy middle-aged man, who looked mild-mannered, and there were quite a few black-clad suit bodyguards standing around him, and, behind him, several carts were stacked with many wooden boxes, probably goods and other things.

On the other side, the leader is also a middle-aged man, but his face looks unkind, with a murderous aura, and around him is a group of big men with various weapons, who can tell at a glance that they are not good people.

After inquiring with the people around him, Roland finally understood the general situation, and it seemed that the two sides of the confrontation were businessmen, the one who seemed to be more moderate was a local businessman, and the one who looked murderous was a foreign businessman.

It seems that the out-of-town merchant suddenly repented of the sale, and then led someone to chase him here, wanting to return the goods.

However, the local merchant has already agreed with the next buyer, so it is naturally impossible to return it easily, otherwise, it will not only lose profits, but also reputation.

Moreover, since both sides have negotiated at the beginning, and the money and goods are cleared, how can there be any reason to say that they will be returned? The local businessman felt that he was justified and resolutely refused to back down.

So, the two sides quarreled like this, and they confronted each other here, looking like they could do it at any time.

Originally, Roland didn't intend to take care of this kind of nossiness, after all, there was no reason for him to blindly mix in the contradictions of other people's families.

However, seeing that the out-of-town businessman was holding a knife, red-eyed, and looking like he might rush over and cut people at any time, Roland felt that it was better to stay and take a look, and it was really unnecessary to kill someone for a business matter.

Moreover, Roland always felt that these black-clothed bodyguards were very familiar, very similar to the two he had just seen.

In other words, this local businessman may be Keya's father!

I inquired with the people around me again, and sure enough, I guessed correctly!

Although he had just made up his mind to just take a look at it, if he had the opportunity to make a friend, Roland would naturally not refuse.

His idea has always been that since he has traveled to the world of pirates, if he doesn't have some intersection with the characters he liked when he watched anime, this crossing is too much of a loss, although many of his favorite characters are still kids......

Roland tried to stand as far forward as he could, but didn't make any other moves.

After all, even if you want to help, you need a certain amount of skill, and you can't just rush up and beat up the out-of-town businessman.

However, if you keep watching what happens, judging from the fact that Keya's father is still alive later, this crisis will not be so big as to endanger your life, then you may miss this opportunity.

"Still won't you say yes?!" As Roland pondered, the out-of-town merchant continued to shout.

"After doing business for so long, don't you understand the truth of money and goods? Unless you can give me a price that satisfies me and buy these goods back, otherwise, impossible! Keya's father said with a firm face, in the business field, it is about profits, not politeness.

"This shipment was mine! Now I'm not selling! The money is back to you! Give me back the goods! Isn't that a matter of course?! I ask you again, do you say yes or no? The out-of-town businessman took a different view, and roared again.

Looking at their excited appearance, Roland was really curious, how valuable is this batch of goods? As for fighting so hard?

"Humph!" Keya's father snorted coldly, "Do you believe this yourself?" Don't think I don't know, didn't I just find someone who is willing to pay a higher price for this shipment? You want to make more money, why should I bear the loss? Tell you, no matter how many times you ask, the answer is the same, no way! ”

"Then don't blame me for being rude! Don't worry, after I take the goods, the money will still be returned to you," the out-of-town merchant said with a sneer, waving his hand to the men around him, "Up!" ”

As soon as the words fell, the fierce men rushed towards Keya's father with knives, and of course, there were also those who stood still because they were holding guns.

The group of bodyguards were not vegetarians, some drew guns, some took sticks, and they also greeted them.

Because of the sudden outbreak of the battle, the crowd of onlookers around them all scattered and ran away, and they all knew very well that although it was interesting to watch the play, the sword had no eyes, not to mention the guns, in case they were cut or shot, it would be a big loss.

Roland asked Merlin to follow the crowd away, after all, her strength was still very weak, and if she was injured, it would be a big loss.

Returning to their battle, compared to Keya's father, who did not expect this accident, the foreign merchant who came to grab the goods came prepared, with more weapons and manpower, and the battle situation was one-sided.

Looking at this battle situation, Roland smiled slightly, it was his turn to play.
