Chapter Seventy-Nine: An Ordinary Life
Charlotte was stunned, not surprised by how powerful the origin of this stone was, but surprised that the emaciated and powerless man in front of him dared to steal Captain Morey's treasure.
How did he do it?
"Hmm, ahem. The young man coughed dryly to hide the look of surprise he had just looked, "So now others can't eavesdrop?"
"Do you think I'm going to joke with my life?" said with irony.
"Where's the money bag?"
The young man took out a delicate purple money bag from his waist, put it in his hand and shook it, "Here it is." ”
"Bring it!"
The moment he saw the purple money bag, the man's emotions immediately became excited, and Charlotte immediately shrank his hand when he saw this.
"Wait a minute, answer my question, and I'll decide not to pay you back. ”
"This is what belongs to me!" As if losing his mind, Eagles rushed straight at Charlotte in desperation.
Suddenly, there was a flash of silver light, and the man stopped, his whole body stiffening. At some point, the young man in front of him held a dagger that emitted silver light in his hand and put it around his neck.
It seemed that the man's own instincts had saved his life, and if he had taken one more step, he was convinced that the diminutive boy would not hesitate to slit his throat.
"Have you calmed down?" Charlotte asked coldly.
Half a moment later, the man's hands hung limply and nodded weakly.
"Good. The boy withdrew his dagger and played with the money bag in his hand, "This is still mine, the loot obtained from someone's corpse for the time being." ”
The feeble hands clenched together as if angry.
"And your life is mine for the time being. ”
After a moment of silence, Igus stared intently at Charlotte's expressionless face. But after staring at it for a long time, I couldn't see a trace of the young man's emotions, like a dark and calm pool, which was impossible to see.
Compared with a teenager, it is better to say that he is more like a reckless teenager.
So what exactly does he want?
With doubts in his heart, eventually, Eagles let go of his fist.
Exhaled heavily, and said, "Then what do you want?"
"Is there any use for the lowest garbage on this boat, like me?"
Charlotte didn't answer immediately, but stared at the man in front of her, looking at it repeatedly.
"What are you looking at?" said with some displeasure.
"No, no. He shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly, "People like to call props that can't be used, or that can't be used, 'garbage'. ”
"On the other hand, for the props that know how to use, that is the 'weapon'. ”
"A weapon that can kill people. ”
Hearing this, Aguezes nodded thoughtfully, "Then I just need to come and hear from you, this kind of truth that only those damned abominations can understand?"
"Oh, of course not. He shook his head of course.
"Then you don't yet—" The man immediately stopped halfway through speaking, took a deep breath and continued, "Listen, at your age, I know you're pretty remarkable. But even if I use the 'Celestial Stone', we have a limited amount of time, and this thing can be soundproofed but it can't stop time!"
"Oh, are you saying that cleaning for too long will make people suspicious? It's okay, I'll figure it out, there's a lot of time now. Charlotte sat lazily in her chair, not in the slightest hint of nervousness.
The man looked helpless and tired, looking at the young man in front of him, did he really understand the seriousness of the matter? Killing Barlow, who was also a crew member, was a serious capital crime on this ship, and if someone else found out, he would send the two of them into the sea to feed the fish, or at worst they would be hung on the liver of the boat and stung to death.
Agus has seen people who die in that way, and the process cannot be described in words.
But it doesn't matter now, and it wasn't his choice at the beginning.
Besides, now that the lives of the two are tied to the same wooden pole, this teenager shouldn't joke with his own life, right?
With the intention of giving up resistance, he looked at Charlotte.
"Before I give you back the purse, I have a few questions I want to ask you. Charlotte picked up the purple money bag in her hand, "Why is this thing so important to you, even at the cost of your own life, to take it back?"
"Also, why did a person like you, who is incapable of fighting, appear in this group of scum who preys on others for a living, and become one of them?"
Eagles' expression became solemn.
"No, you see, no matter how evil and powerful my crew is, in this sea full of dangers, I need a logistics crew, so..."
"That's not the answer I want to hear. Charlotte interrupted him, "You understand, right?"
It's really difficult, troublesome.
Still, Eagles didn't say anything, but bowed his head and fell silent.
Charlotte didn't rush Eagles, looking at the man in front of him quietly waiting for a response.
The room was silent except for the creaking of the rocks.
"Answering these questions will take time. ”
"It's okay, we have a lot of time. ”
