Chapter 61: The Auction [First Update]
The town of Kakakulo is lit up at night, and it's a city that never sleeps.
At night, the city is full of men with big faces and scantily clad girls.
In a dimly lit room, it can be seen from the surrounding furnishings that it is a study.
The light in the study was not turned on, only an oil lamp on the table that seemed to be extinguished at any moment.
The door was pushed open, and a man in black walked in from outside the door, he lowered his head slightly and said, "Lord, Roque King has come to our town. β
"Well, I see, you didn't act rashly, did you?" A deep voice came from the darkness, and a man was seen sitting in a chair next to his desk.
"No, we dare not act without the command of the Lord."
"Good." The man got up from his chair, walked to the windowsill, pushed open the curtain and a beam of moonlight poured in, he lit a cigar, "Do you think this boy will get out of here alive?" Offended both the Navy and the Vince Mock family. β
He said this as if he was talking to himself, and as if he was asking the man in black in front of him.
However, the man in black was still silent, and he did not speak, because he was only a subordinate of the Lord, a sword in the Lord's hand, so he did not need his opinion.
"Phew," the man exhaled, and continued, "Bring this back to the Vince Mock family, and the rest is none of our business." β
...
Led by Jace, Roque soon arrived at the auction venue.
He found two men in black suits standing at the door of the auction hall, with cigarettes in their mouths and gold watches and rings on their wrists, looking like big black brothers.
One after another, many people walked in, including not only pirates, but also navies, as well as some dark forces and royal families from all over the North Sea.
However, when they went in, they all took out a black card, and they would not let them go until the two men in black had seen it.
"Jace, what's that card?" Roque asked suspiciously.
"Lord Jin, that's the voucher to enter the auction, if you don't have this voucher, you can't enter the auction." Jace whispered.
"Oh . . . It turned out to be a membership card. Roque suddenly realized, "By the way, let's hurry up and get in, but Jace you should have brought your membership card, right?" Otherwise..."
He was curious about auctions in this world, because he had never participated in auctions before, knowing that in his previous life, it was a status symbol.
Before Roque could finish speaking, Jace hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, I always have the admission ticket with me." β
"Alright then, let's get in quickly." Roque walked straight to the auction floor.
The two men in black swept the membership card in Jace's eyes, and didn't say anything, but let them go directly.
"Wow, this is the auction, it looks like a cow." Roque looked around curiously.
It looks like an auction in a movie, surrounded by tables and chairs, with VIP seats at the top, so-called boxes, and a huge booth in front of it.
Since this was Roque's first time entering, he was a little curious about everything around him.
It's just that his appearance of a hillbilly entering the city attracted the people around him to look over, and their eyes did not hide the contempt in them, and some even opened their mouths to mock.
"Heh, where did a second fool come from, who was able to enter here?"
"Hehe, isn't that Captain Jace of the Circle Pirates? Why did he bring a hillbilly here, could it be that the hillbilly was the illegitimate son of the captain? β
There was a lot of chatter, and they were getting louder and louder, and they didn't seem to be afraid of Jace and Roque in the slightest.
Of course, they are extremely strong pirates or people of underground forces, and in terms of strength, they can completely crush Jace for several streets, so they are not afraid.
"Hey, heyβ" Roque smiled as he looked at the people who were taunting him.
"Kim, Lord Kimβ" Roque's unusual attitude immediately scared Jace.
This time he felt that he had to stop Roque no matter what, because this place was no better than the outside, although Roque had just killed the group of three, but it would be a while before he was discovered and hunted down.
If Roque were to do it right now, he would not only be angry with the dark underworld forces in Kakaku Town, but also all the pirates in this auction hall would be targeting them.
Moreover, in this auction venue, there are many bounties of more than 50 million, and there are many pirates who have returned from the Great Voyage and have been rewarded with more than 100 million.
"Don't worry, don't worry, I know it." Roque patted Jace on the shoulder and smiled.
"Okay, that-like hairstyle killer Matt, eh, don't turn your head, it's you, what did you just say?" Roque smiled as if he were smiling.
Oh, God... Jace closed his eyes sadly, he knew this was going to happen.
The killer Matt originally wanted to see who Roque was talking about, and when he knew that Roque pointed his finger at him, he realized that the kid in front of him was actually talking about himself?
"You, what are you talking about again, you stinky boy?!" Kill Matt's face was instantly filled with irritation.
"Say what? Are you deaf, Lao Tzu asked you, what were you talking about just now? β
"Ahh
"Damn, you stinky boy is looking for death!" Killing Matt was instantly furious, he didn't expect that he would be ridiculed by a hillbilly at the auction venue.
"Lord Kim, he is the deputy captain of the Wild Dog Pirates, Hyena Okayama, and he has been offered a reward of 40 million berry." Jace whispered beside him.
Because the strength of this pirate group should definitely not be underestimated, at least one of the deputy captains in it is much more powerful than him.
"Huh? Hyena, the vice-captain of the Wild Dog Pirates? No wonder I got a-like hairstyle, it turned out to be a ** hand. Roque pretended to be helpless and said.
"Ahahahaha, dig, ** hand, Okayama, you were laughed at by a kid." The people around him burst out laughing again.
"You're going to die, I don't care who you are, you have to die here today." Okayama was furious, and when he got angry, his hair stood on end, like a hyena, and his eyes gradually became hideous.
"Hahaha, it's a pity, Okayama is angry, it seems that this kid in front of him is going to die here."
"Okayama isn't easy to mess with." The people around cheered.
Next to him sat the captain of the Wild Dog Pirates, Muris, who looked at Roque with a frown, a little strange, but he didn't stop Okayama.
Shout!
Okayama's speed is very fast, and the speed is what he relies on to become a pirate who has been rewarded with 30 million Berry.
He didn't think the kid in front of him would be able to react.
He was instantly behind Roque's back, the nails on his hands were sharp and sharp in the light, as if they would pierce Roque's neck at any moment, and he said with a sneer on his face, "Hehe, boy, you pay for your arrogance tonight." β
"Really?" Roque's tone was flat, not caring at all about the nails that were already clinging to his neck.
Stab!
"Hmph, boy, go die!" Okayama's eyes froze instantly, and his nails were about to pierce in.
Poof!
Blood spurted out, but unfortunately it wasn't Roque's.
A long silver-white knife was in the light, and there was not a trace of blood on it.
Okayama's eyes widened, his hands didn't pierce into the veins inside Roque's neck, because his two palms had fallen to the ground, and blood spurted out.
Everyone gasped.
"How, how is it possible!" Okayama was shocked, his body trembling.
Muriss was shocked, his hand clenching the corner of the chair tightly, anger slowly welling up in his heart.
Everyone in the auction room was shocked!
