Chapter XXVIII
The passage of time is enough to turn most of existence into dust, but some are like weeds in walls and rocks.
You can't get rid of it; For example: pirates, robbers, mountain bandits, these exist like wolves in the wild; However, as Lorant entered the era of freedom, robbers and mountain bandits, under the blow of the supreme government, have become the 'superficial' past tense - where people can't reach them, there will always be both of them - without people's sight, they are the past tense; This is true even if there are innocent people who die every year because of them; After all, it is impossible for the supreme government to ignore the interests of the whole for the sake of some people!
Compared to the two of their peers, the pirates were very active, and people often read in the newspapers that merchant ships had been plundered - the endless sea, the various trade routes crisscrossing it, especially the narrow straits, provided a comfortable breeding ground for pirates.
As a merchant in a thriving port like Sasse Harbor, Gorcha was not without dealing with pirates; In fact, it is impossible for any merchant involved in the out-of-port trade not to deal with those who exist; It's like every time Gecha transports goods, he needs to negotiate the 'security fee' with the guys who are damned ten thousand times in his heart.
We're merchants, they're merchants, but their business is profitable, and they have absolute leverage—that's what the merchants of Sass Harbor know about pirates.
Of course, it's not that there is no existence that does not want to rebel; There is no shortage of businessmen who fight for profit anywhere!
It's just that the vast, bottomless ocean has become the final destination of those who resist! And the only ones left were tattered or simply after being captured. When the ships reappeared on the surface of the sea, the bewildered merchants seemed to have been poured with cold water to remove the cold. Only fear remains.
Businessmen are businessmen, they can never become warriors, what they pursue is profit, not the belief that they will die on the battlefield without regret -
"Turn around! We're out of town at once, and we're back to Fate! ”
When Ge finished checking the letter in the wooden box, he immediately yelled at the driver - there was only an encrypted letter in the wooden box, with Lute's secretary as the translator, and the content of this secret letter was naturally completely presented in front of Ge Cha; Although for what may happen in the near future. Ge Cha had already made some mental preparations, but when he really knew the Dao, the turbulent waves called fear that surged deep in his heart still drowned him.
No one knew better than he the horrors of those jackal-like creatures, if they were allowed to rush into the port of Saas. It was an absolute disaster—tattered shipboards, blood-soaked decks, sails and masts engulfed in flames; Scenes appeared in front of Gercha's eyes, causing his breathing to speed up rapidly, and sweat was already staining his shirt. And it slipped down the forehead and down the sideburns.
Chirping!
Amid the sound of the car's tires rubbing against the ground, the car in which Gercha was riding turned around and headed for the road from Sass Harbor to Fate, beside him. Root's current secretary was sitting anxiously — a native of the Bay Area, even though his home was in Fat. But that doesn't mean he doesn't have any affection for Port Sasse; After ten years of struggle here, his feelings for Sass Harbour are definitely far beyond the imagination of others.
The hard work of youth. The loss after hitting the wall everywhere, giving up his feelings for life, and using the only salary he can get to hypnotize himself and self-esteem - even if he knows that this is self-hypnosis, but every time he sees his parents receive his salary, that kind of relief and peace of mind, although he is often puzzled, he still chooses to continue self-hypnosis! …,
Not for anything else, but for his parents to be proud of him, even if this glory is not above board—when he chooses this path, he knows very well what he will encounter; Therefore, he settled his parents in Dulin in the summer forest district early, and even the most daring people would not dare to carry out a kidnapping or murder in that city densely covered with electronic monitors!
Originally, he had already planned it, and after completing this deal with Gercha and obtaining enough Kimpton, he fled incognito to the Xialin District; But now, a sudden catastrophe is about to destroy it all!
Whatever the outcome of his boss Rutt's worst comeback, his fate will be tragic; If his boss wins this struggle, as a 'collaborator', he will not escape death at all, from the moment he saw this secret letter and informed Gecha, he knew very well, and if his boss lost, then as the other party's minions, he who had done countless outrageous and grueling things, would definitely not be able to escape the fate of death, and he would have to bear all kinds of infamy.
He didn't want to die, and the ants still stole life.
He also didn't want to be infamous because he would disappoint his parents; And this will be something even more uncomfortable than letting him die-although he clearly knows that his parents have noticed and doubted it, but he definitely doesn't want this suspicion to become a reality!
What a bastard I'm in!
A roar of pain, struggle, burst from the secretary's chest.
"Parking! Stop the car! Stop me! ”
The secretary slapped the driver's back hard and shouted excitedly.
"What's wrong, Del? Stop, are you crazy? ”
Looking at the secretary who was banging the driver's back, and even about to push the car door, Ge Cha pulled the other party back.
"Boss Gecha, please stop, I have something to do!"
"What needs to be done now? Do you know that after a while......"
"I know the way, that's why I have something to do!" The secretary, who had exhausted all his strength, shouted loudly: "Hurry up and stop, I'm afraid that I will regret it in the next moment!" ”
"Stop!"
Ge Cha finished speaking to the driver, and then quietly looked at the secretary named Del who pushed the car door and rushed down, running towards the distance, with a deep incomprehension in his eyes - as a person who was bribed by him, Ge Cha naturally investigated everything about the other party quite clearly, with average ability, but ruthless and extremely greedy; Such a person is naturally not the 'best' person to buy, if it were not for the investigation that the other party has a sum of money every month that is very secretly divided into several accounts, and then pooled into another account, and this account is an old couple, Ge Cha will never set the object of the bribe as the other party.
After all, the other party with weaknesses is the best candidate for him to buy!
Is he really a bastard who doesn't even want his life?
Looking at the figure of the other party, completely disappearing into the fog of the night, Ge Cha sat there in a daze, staring blankly at the direction in which the other party disappeared; The car started again, and after a dull for a long time, after Ge Cha reported a place name to the driver, he suddenly scolded angrily, and he kept scolding, and he didn't stop scolding until he was out of breath.
"Boss, the place has arrived!"
The driver's words interrupted Gecha, who was about to continue scolding.
"Wait here!"
After giving a word to the driver, Gercha slipped out of the door; Looking at the narrow, mud-covered alley in front of him, running straight towards the only door in the alley, the bloated Gecha ran unusually ridiculously, with short legs and weight, he was like a big fat goose tied to a heavy lead block, not only swaying left and right, but also falling to the ground from time to time. …,
When Gercha came to the little door, his expensive coat, trousers, and leather shoes were already covered in mud, especially on his cheeks, which made him look even more embarrassed; However, Gercha did not pay any attention to it, and he slammed on the small door in front of him as he had heard.
Smack, smack, knock......
There was a peculiar knock on the door, and Ge Cha looked at the small door in front of him nervously, but nothing happened, and he waited for a minute, and the door in front of him was still tightly closed; Gercha's eyes closed in disappointment, and he staggered around and walked towards the car at the mouth of the alley.
Squeak......
A slightly harsh sound of wood grinding sounded behind him, and Ge Cha immediately turned his body at a speed beyond the bloated body, looked at the small door that opened, and quickly ran inside, and shouted the corresponding secret words in a low voice: "Bloodline comes from honor, honor is not blood!?" ”
"What's the matter with you?"
"I'm going to hire a bunch of people, the kind that is strong! The kind that wants to kill people without blinking! ”
Hearing the hoarse question, Gercha immediately replied.
"Everyone here is powerful, and they are all murderous without blinking! As long as you can afford to pay for it! ”
"I can afford to pay you, if you can get rid of those damn pirates, and the guy who caused all this, I'll pay 100,000 Kimpton!"
"Pirates?"
The hoarse voice did not appear again, but became gentle, and a snake-like pupil suddenly lit up in the dark room; Facing the erected snake pupils, Ge Cha forcibly endured the horror in his heart, and the idea of turning around and running, intermittently told the limited situation of his knowledge.
"We accept the commission! Commissioning fee - 1 yuan! ”
"One dollar?"
Frightened by the cheap commission, Ge Cha looked at the vertical pupils of the cold-blooded animal in front of him in a daze, feeling a little dazed in his heart - collecting remuneration based on the difficulty of the task is the consistent practice of these rumored existences; But the task of defending off pirates and killing Root was charged only one dollar; Could it be that in the eyes of the other party, those pirates and Root are only worth this little money?
"Yes, one dollar! Do you have any other commissions? ”
"I—I want to protect a person......"
The stunned Ge Cha was shocked by the other party's hoarse question again, and he said uneasily.
