Chapter 3: The Pirate Concept
Under the bright moonlight, a dance is over.
Jerry leaned against the cabin with his wine glass, opposite Xia Qi, who was doing the same.
"Well, let's get acquainted again. Jer, well, professional words..."
"Gentleman killer?"
Xia Qi looked at Jer's with a smile, her red lips moistened by the wine, and there was an indescribable sense of temptation.
Jerle nodded.
"Yes."
"My name is Xia Qi, professionally, I used to be a pirate, and now... Oh no, as of just now, slaves have become what they once were. β
At the end, Xia Qi added.
"Thank you, Mr. Gentleman."
Jerle shook his head.
"There's no need to thank you, Miss Xia Qi has already given enough compensation, isn't she?"
Thinking of the fiery close dance between the two before, Xia Qi's face was slightly red.
"Anyway, thank you still has to be said."
"Well, okay. If I really want to say thank you, I think I will gladly accept Miss Xia Qi's age. β
Xia Qi put down the wine glass, held her chin in her left hand, and looked at Jer's with interest.
"Age is a woman's biggest secret, and this question is not for a gentleman."
Jerle shrugged his shoulders indifferently and said no more.
"I'm curious, why did you deliberately spare that Draco man's life."
Jerle was stunned.
It's kind of interesting.
"Oh? Why do you say that, didn't you see me shoot him in the heart? β
"Being shot doesn't mean you're going to die, and the one who wields a gun is a gentleman who claims to be a killer. I think that if a killer says such a thing as watching his fate, he probably knows that the other party can't die, but he doesn't want the other people present to know that he deliberately kept his hand, so he makes a false move. Am I right? Mr. Gentleman. β
Xia Qi stared at Jer, who smiled and spread his hands and made a surrender form.
"I have to say, Miss Xia Qi, you are a smart and perceptive woman."
"Hehe, I'll just be praising me when I think Mr. Jell is talking about it."
"It's an honor."
Jerle shook his glass, the scarlet liquid swaying, emitting a wisp of wine in the air.
"Since Miss Xia Qi is interested in knowing, then I'll talk about it."
"My purpose was not to kill that Draco, as for the shot given to him, it was just to collect some interest for someone."
"Personally, I need a way to make a name for myself quickly, and the Draco is undoubtedly the quickest shortcut. But the concept of wounding and killing is different, and at least for now, I'm not ready to be the enemy of the entire world government. β
"Killers are a group that dances on the tip of a knife, so in order to be able to end the curtain perfectly, many times 'living mouths' are necessary."
Speaking of this, Jer slowly got up, walked to Xia Qi and bent down slightly, stretched out his right hand, and said.
"Miss, beautiful lady, may I ask you to dance again?"
Xia Qi amusedly put her hand into Jer's palm.
Start with a slippery, unaccompanied dance again.
"Judging a killer's strength is never simply based on whether he can kill a person. Rather, even if the target is not killed, it is able to accurately indicate the extent of the target's injuries and whether it is life-threatening. If they do, they will die a few days later. β
"In a way, a good killer knows more about the anatomy of the human body than a doctor. By the way, maybe Miss Xia Qi doesn't know that she is in a circle where she can't see the light. The top killer, also known as..."
"A prophet who controls life and death."
Xia Qi looked at Jer's gentle smile, and inexplicably felt a coldness, which was instantly dissolved by the warmth from Jer's right hand.
"Miss Xia Qi don't be afraid, although mine does kill women. But out of gentlemanly courtesy, I set that dividing line very high. So, you don't have to worry about me doing anything to hurt you. β
"Hehe, that's lucky."
Xia Qiwan smiled and withdrew the hand that was held by Jerry without a trace.
"Tired? So, Miss Xia Qi, let's rest in the cabin tonight. Leave the vigil to me. β
Jerle nodded to Xia Qi and walked out of the cabin. After walking a few steps, Xia Qi's whisper came from behind him.
"Mr. Jer..."
"Huh?"
"Thank you again for saving me, good night."
"Good night."
ββββββββ ββββ cut ββββ lineββββββββ
Nothing was said all night.
"Good morning, Mr. Gentleman."
On the deck, Jerle was reading today's newspaper when Xia Qi stepped out of the cabin.
"Miss Xia Qi, let's call me Jer. Although I am indeed a gentleman, I still feel a little embarrassed to be called that all the time. β
Xia Qi stared at Jer's playfully and didn't answer.
"Okay, whatever you want."
Once again, GyΕr retreated.
"By the way, Miss Xia Qi, breakfast is ready. Although it is not good to eat grilled fish early in the morning, but now the conditions are poor, so I can only grieve you first. β
"Rest assured, though, we can see the islands now. When we get to the island, I'll find a way to prepare a rich meal for you to celebrate your freedom. β
"Also, you'd better read today's newspaper."
Xia Qi didn't mind, took a grilled fish at random, and ate it with relish. He took the newspaper that Jerle handed over and read it carefully.
"Gentleman Killer" Jell - Bounty 2000w Bailey.
"Ripping Bamboo Pole" Xia Qi - bounty 800w Bailey.
"Ah, it's even gone up 100w Bailey."
Xia Qi covered her mouth and chuckled.
Jair was also a little happy.
"Miss Xia Qi seems to be very happy?"
"Yes, as a pirate, is there anything more enjoyable than an increase in your bounty?"
Jerle slapped his head.
"I almost forgot that Miss Xia Qi used to be a pirate."
Pirates? Do you want to set up your own pirate group? After all, the world government is so huge, if you rely on yourself, you will be very tired, right?
"Mr. Gentleman, what are you thinking? It's time to pivot. β
"Oh, I'm sorry, Miss Xia Qi. When I heard you talk about pirates just now, I wondered if I should set up a pirate group myself. β
Jerry came back to his senses and smiled apologetically at Xia Qi.
"Oh? If Mr. Gentleman wants to create a pirate group, I'd like to be the first to join it! β
βοΌβ
Looking at Jer's stunned look, Xia Qi faked anger.
"What, you dislike my weak combat power and don't want me to join?"
"How could it be. It's my honor that Miss Xia Qi is willing to join, and fighting is a man's business. It's just that... I was a little surprised that Miss Xia Qi was willing to join. After all, I've just offended the Draconians, and it will be dangerous to follow me. β
Xia Qi shook her head, the sea breeze brushed the tips of her hair, and there was a sense of melancholy.
"You don't know how desperate you are as a slave bought by the Draconians, and naturally you don't understand the weight of this kindness. Mr. Gyel, if you have the chance, take me with you when you go to St. Mary Joy! I want to release those who have been through the same situation as me. β
Jerle looked at Xia Qi, who had a firm gaze, and nodded. At this time, the boat also docked to the shore.
The first islet has finally arrived.
