It's not the first time that everyone has attended this kind of occasion, so during the whole product exchange meeting, except for a little friction before the opening, there were no more waves...

In the final analysis, their business is all dependent on Haier to maintain, and the inequality of the channels between the two sides has led to the former not daring to make a mistake in front of Haier at all, even if there are many conflicts between each other in private, they have to solve it privately in the seafood store.

Of course, for Haier, who is in such an absolutely dominant position, there is no need for him to favor any side... Except for himself, everyone here can do the same business without anyone.

And after some bargaining, it was Douglas's side who finally sold all the goods on hand, and among the remaining ones, Scarface accounted for more share, but it couldn't be compared with Douglas after all.

Haier: "Good! Then it's decided, I'll send a car to pick up the goods at noon the day after tomorrow, if any of you make a mistake..."

Haier's words were not finished, but the meaning of the threat was very clear.

He instructed everyone, then waved his hand and motioned for everyone to leave.

Everyone seems to have a lot of complaints about this arrogant attitude, but after all, they can't attack, so they can only grit their teeth. Among them, the contradiction between Scarface and Douglas is particularly obvious.

As the saying goes, cutting off people's wealth is like killing one's parents.

In the case of the limited total quota in the market, Douglas has naturally become a thorn in Scarface's side, and even more, the hesitation of the former is just a teenager, and his subordinates are all a bunch of imps of the same age, and it is too fantastic to expect Scarface to stick to the moral bottom line and continue this game of fair competition.

Scarface: "Imp, do you know the difference between human blood and fish blood?" ”

His voice was mournful, and he called out to Douglas from behind as he pulled out the fisherman's knife at his waist with one hand, and reached for a deep brown scar on his face with the other.

You don't have to do it, this dignity alone is enough to make the average child feel afraid, and it may even become a nightmare tonight.

Douglas, however, showed not the slightest fear of this.

He half-turned and looked at Scarface with a calm gaze.

Douglas: "Not bad. ”

Scarface: "What are you talking about?" ”

Douglas held an umbrella in one hand, shook it out of thin air, and continued to explain: "I thought that your rammer would come to provoke last month, but I didn't expect to endure it until now." ”

Scarface: "Huh!?" ”

With Scarface's IQ, it was difficult to understand the deep meaning or other subtexts in Douglas's language for a while, but the word "ramming" at least expressed the meaning of contempt, which made Scarface angry all of a sudden.

- As a fisherman, Scarface is tall and has strong muscles that are the envy of bodybuilding instructors.

It is fitting to describe this giant man who is almost twice as tall as Douglas with a simple mind and well-developed limbs.

At this moment, he angrily approached the boy, and with each step, it brought more oppressive force, making people almost breathless.

Scarface: "Didn't your mom teach you how to talk to your elders?" Gremlin! ”

Douglas: "You're asking for your own pain. ”

Lowering his voice, in the face of the threat of the strongman, the young man did not retreat but advanced, picked up the oilcloth umbrella in his hand and pulled out a sword flower in mid-air, stabbing the opponent's throat!

It turned out that the tip of the cloth umbrella had long been sharpened into a cone, and with Douglas's movements, a silvery-white light flashed, and before Scarface could react, it was precisely pointed at his throat.

Scarface: "What..."

Scarface instinctively wanted to fight back, but the stinging pain in his throat and the young man's ice-blue eyes under the handle of the umbrella made him dare not move at all.

It wasn't until a few seconds later, when Douglas restrained his killing intent and removed the oilcloth umbrella that was on the opponent's vital point, that the vicious Fish Boss regained the right to move freely.

Douglas: "I'll only say it once, unless you can start a tidal wave or start a wildfire, just put away those useless thoughts." ”

Douglas opened his umbrella and covered his face along with his eyes, and from Scarface's angle, he could only vaguely see that he was no more than three-quarters of his lips when he spoke: "I won't let go of the fishing business, and if I have the ability, I'll kick us out of the West End." ”

After speaking, he turned around.

Douglas didn't drag his feet, and after leaving Scarface alone, he deliberately made a detour to make sure his whereabouts were hidden, and then went straight to the safe house by the sea from the trail.

By this time, it was completely dark, and Haier's business had wasted too much of his time.

Thankfully, it was not yet the agreed deadline to return to the shelter, which allowed Douglas to pull his hand out and deal with the little girl's problem.

"Boom... Knock knock... Boom... Boom... Knock knock. ”

Simon: "Douglas? ”

Douglas: "It's me, open the door." ”

Confirming the code words of the knock on the door, Simon put Douglas into the room... While from the outside, the hillside cottage is dilapidated and hard to spot, but the interior was renovated by Douglas and his friends a few years ago.

In its current condition, the two-story hut not only does not leak rain, but also stores a large amount of canned food and everything else needed for survival.

- This is the retreat that Douglas has prepared for everyone.

In fact, his original plan was to build a large enough ship to move most of the people, but a group of orphans simply did not have the funds or skills to complete the project, so he had to settle for the next best thing.

Douglas: "What about that girl?" ”

Simon: "Upstairs... According to what you said, I burned all her original clothes, and the wound was simply disinfected with alcohol. ”

Douglas: "Is the wound suppurating or infected?" ”

Simon: "It doesn't seem to be... It's just that she has a long knife wound on her back, and she has some fever. ”

Douglas: "Inflammatory response..."

Douglas frowned, he didn't have any anti-inflammatory drugs here, that thing was only available in the city clinics, and the slums didn't have that kind of convenience.

Simon: "She... Will it die? ”

Douglas: "It's hard to say yet, but if the fever doesn't go away by tomorrow morning, we're going to have to use backup." ”

The boy rubbed his brow with his hand, although the arrival of this strange girl was an opportunity for their organization, but there were so many things he had to worry about lately, and there was really not much room for distraction.

On the other side, Simon, who was also worried, glanced at Douglas timidly, and finally couldn't help but speak.

Simon: "Douglas... Can I ask you a question? ”

Douglas: "You wonder why I suddenly changed my mind to save someone?" ”

Simon: "Hmm. ”

Simon nodded... Although he is well aware that Douglas is not really cold-blooded and ruthless, he rarely reaches out to strangers at any cost.

Douglas: "It's very simple, because keeping this girl alive is better for our future plans." ”

The boy paused, and continued to explain to Simon, who was full of doubts, "Have you heard of the Devil Fruit? ”
