Chapter 39: Money

"Can you give me an answer?"

Madara looked calm, ignoring the little Robin who was glaring at him angrily.

"Sir, are you sure you want to buy my little niece?"

Little Robin's uncle's face was cloudy, and his heart was at war with heaven and man.

One million Bailey is definitely an astronomical amount for him, and he can even give up the bottom line of being a man, because he is not a strong-willed person.

Little Robin's words embarrassed him, but it was only because of his face, and what really made him hesitate was that the world government did not allow human trafficking.

This kind of thing can only be done by the underground black market, and if ordinary people do this, it is tantamount to violating the laws of the world government.

He wanted the million Baileys and was afraid of getting into trouble for it.

As for conscience, if he had, he would not have called his niece like a servant.

"Woooooooooo......oo Aunt Roggie, I will do anything, I will never run around again, please don't sell me! ”

Little Robin gritted his teeth and squatted on the ground with his knees folded, like a kitten about to be abandoned, with two lines of tears in his bright eyes, looking at his aunt pitifully.

She is smart, she knows her uncle very well, she is as timid as a mouse, and she has an eye for money, but now her uncle has not refused, and she is obviously moved.

"Two million Berry!" Madara didn't look at little Robin and said calmly.

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Little Robin's uncle was short of breath, sweat was covered in sweat on his forehead, and there was a devil in his heart who kept telling him, "What are you thinking, sell that annoying little girl quickly, let alone two million berry, that little girl is not even worth one berry." Now someone has two million berries. It's like pie in the sky, which is equivalent to picking up two million berries for nothing. That's two million Berry. You won't earn it for a lifetime, with this money. You can go wherever you want, live the life of a rich man, and let your daughter receive an aristocratic education. Although it was his niece, he didn't owe her anything at all, and he had no obligation to take care of her. Over the years, he has taken a lot of money to raise her, which can be regarded as benevolent and righteous. The sister who disappeared never helped her, but kept causing trouble, researching some messy things all day long, and she was wanted in the newspaper some time ago. Against the world government. I'm afraid they're all in jail by now. As a mother, I don't care about her daughter's life or death, I don't care what an outsider does for her! It's a big deal to leave this island, and you don't have to worry that your sister won't be able to explain when she comes back. ”

Little Robin's aunt exhaled quickly, and wanted to agree immediately, so she stabbed her husband and signaled him to speak quickly, and not to let the rich man go.

For her little niece, she has long been unpleasant. If it weren't for the slightest affection, I was afraid that the people on the island would make irresponsible remarks. She had long since swept her little niece out of the house.

"The ......"

Little Robin's uncle opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.

He has decided to sell his niece, but he is still afraid that the matter will be revealed and captured by the world government. When the time comes, there is money to make and no life to spend.

"What a pity!"

Madara sighed, stood up and closed his suitcase, and was about to leave.

Little Robin raised his little head hopefully. There were tears left on his face, and he wished that the demon would leave quickly.

"We're thinking about it. Wait a minute! Little Robin's aunt hurriedly said goodbye.

"Woooooooooo......oo Aunt Rogie, please. You can tell me to do anything! Please don't let me go! Little Robin cried and begged his aunt.

"I'm crying and I'm selling you now!" Little Robin's aunt glared at her niece viciously.

Originally, little Robin was not welcomed, and she didn't think about selling her niece, she just wanted to get rid of her.

Now the arrival of a devil has shattered the peace, just a little insignificant thing, so that even human souls can be sold. The suitcase full of Bailey was like a Pandora's box that could never be closed after opening.

"I forgot to mention just now, you don't need to care about the laws of the world government, only we know about it, and no one will say it. As for your niece, I promise she won't say either, after all, it's also in my interest. As a gesture of goodwill, there are three million Berry in this suitcase, all of which are for you. You don't need to work, and you can be carefree for the rest of your life, find a comfortable place, and live a luxurious life. You can't take care of her for the rest of your life, you know, it's a lot of money, and it doesn't benefit at all. ”

Madara sat in his chair with a demonic smile on his face, "I heard that this little girl's father is long gone, and her mother has never returned since she left O'Hara. As long as you sell her to me, you will never see her again, and you can claim that she was eaten by a sea monster, or make up any excuse. After all, she's a monster on this island, and I'm sure no one likes a monster! What do you say? Of course, if you don't agree, I'll be treated as if I never showed up! ”

"I agree!"

Little Robin's aunt nodded hurriedly. Little Robin's uncle was silent and acquiesced to his wife's answer.

The two had no idea that they were making a deal with a demon. If you accept the devil's money, you will have to pay a very terrible price.

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Little Robin sat on the floor, his mind blank and he forgot to cry.

"Humph......"

Mao Xiaoxian stared at the husband and wife with disdain, there are really everyone in this world.

For the sake of money, even his own niece was betrayed!

When she heard Madara's plan, she didn't seem to believe it, and she had a glimmer of hope for people's hearts, but she was disappointed.

"O human heart! It's so interesting! Is there anything more filthy than this?! ”

Madara's eyes flashed with a strange smile, and he was not surprised.

From beginning to end, he didn't use any ability, just a few words, to make a couple sell their niece.

Interestingly, they are not poor and unable to support, nor are they desperate, they just don't want to support.

In the face of money, everything seems pale and powerless, and the last bottom line of being a man is swept away.

In the eyes of these people, family affection is a worthless existence.

"That little girl, you can take it away at any time!"

Little Robin's aunt stared greedily at Madara's suitcase, afraid that he would regret it.

"That's great!"

Madara smiled down and casually placed the suitcase on the table. smiled and said, "You can count a little money, after all, we are in business!" ”

"Yes. Trade. ”

Little Robin's aunt seemed to find some reason and nodded repeatedly. Hurriedly opened the suitcase and checked the amount of money inside.

"Uncle?!"

When little Robin heard his aunt's words, he raised his little head in a daze, looked at his uncle, and found that the other party turned his head and did not look at her.

"Business? What am I? Goods? ”

Little Robin lowered his head in vain, his heart at a loss.

"Little Miss, if you have anything you want to take away, you'd better pack it. After all, you'll never come back here again. A calm voice came from little Robin's ear, waking her up in confusion.

"I have a few books to take with me."

Little Robin got up from the ground, his little head lowered, and seemed to resign himself to his fate.

"Can you let her take her own things?"

"Ahh Of course! ”

Little Robin's uncle was helping his wife count the money when he heard Madara's words and nodded hurriedly.

Little Robin wears tattered clothes and eats barely satisfying food. Nothing but books borrowed from the library. So he didn't care at all what little Robin was going to take with him.

Sou!

Little Robin ran up the stairs.

"Wait a minute!"

Little Robin's aunt seemed to remember something, and said, "Sir." This girl is very bad, she must want to escape, I'll get it for you later! ”

She tore her face, but she didn't want the meat in her hand to fly away.

Little Robin's slender back paused. The little hand held on to the stairs, seemingly too hard, and the knuckles were white.

The cat fairy is dumbfounded. Don't know what to say.

Are these two really little Robin's relatives?

"It's okay, I trust her!" Madara smiled.

"Sir. You don't know ......"

Little Robin didn't wait for his aunt to finish speaking, and ran up the stairs quickly.

"Stop!"

Little Robin's aunt put down the money. I'm going to chase my niece. Suddenly, his body stiffened and he knelt on the ground.

"Rogie?"

Little Robin's uncle didn't know what was happening, and the next second his body knelt uncontrollably beside his wife.

"Actually, I know everything, let's say you can't go to hell."

Madara slowly lifted his eyelids and pressed his hands on the heads of the two.

With a whoosh, there were two more soul light balls in Madara's hands, and with a bang, the souls of the two were instantly pinched.

Thump!

The two soulless fell to the ground, exhausted, with a look of horror on their faces, and a trace of confusion, as if they did not understand why they died.

"Good kill!"

The cat fairy stared at the two corpses on the ground in relief, this kind of garbage is not a pity.

"Xiaoxian, now you understand a little bit of the complexity of people's hearts! That's something scarier than ghosts. Madara laughed.

"......" the cat fairy was silent.

Madara picked up the match on the table, pulled out one and lit it, tossed it into the suitcase full of Bailey, and with a whoop, the faint flame ignited a stack of banknotes.

The light of the fire illuminated the room and spread towards the wooden dining table.

"Madara?" There was a look of astonishment in the eyes of the cat fairy.

"This pile of banknotes has no value, just like you can see, it's just a pile of waste paper, and the heating is burning too fast. Gold is just a metal, and gemstones are just a beautiful stone. People give money value to its existence for essential transactions. One of the symbols of a higher civilization, no matter what kind of civilization it is, there will be such a thing as money. In ancient times, food was obtained through hunting, just like wild animals in nature. Modern civilization allows us not to drink blood from wool. Money becomes something that can distinguish between humans and beasts. But at some point, paper money, metal, and stone became the dominant beings in the hearts of the people, and they were no longer limited to food for food and shelter from the rain. People want to live a little better, without any fault. Just living happily does not mean becoming a slave to money, and you can sell anything for it. It's obviously a smart creature, but it's not even as good as an unintelligent beast. People attribute the blame to money, believing that it is the one who seduces them, but that it is just the work of the human heart. Even if they don't have money, they will be blinded by other things, constantly hurting the world, selling everything they can. This is the human heart, when it is good, it is the most dazzling existence in the world, and when it is bad, it is the darkest existence in the world! ”

Madara stared up at the rooftop, a look of melancholy.

No matter what kind of person you become, there are some things that you must never give up! Whether it is a demon or a Shura, they all live for unshakable faith.

"Oh!"

Mao Xiaoxian nodded as if she didn't understand, glanced at Madara hesitantly, and said hesitantly: "That, what you said makes a lot of sense, although I basically don't understand, but if we don't leave, I'm afraid it will also become a burned waste paper!" ”

"Huh?"

Madara looked down and saw a raging fire burning beneath his feet, the dining table and chairs had long since turned to ashes, and the fire snakes were spreading around, and the two corpses on the ground began to burn.

The whole house was already in flames, and the blazing air was rushing towards it.

"Anyway, our wooden clone is obviously outside, why do you still turn on sentimental mode? Isn't that guy a doppelganger of a sentimental personality? So what kind of personality is he? Yama Dao muttered to himself thoughtfully.

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

The corners of the cat fairy's mouth twitched, and the person who asked this kind of question definitely had a problem.

"Who knows!"

Madara pushed the door open, the light of the fire behind him illuminating his back. (To be continued......)
